543. Persuade Wang Zhihe
Wang Zhihe smiled at this time:
"Since you've done it all, why should you regret it now?"
Wu Shuangshuang suddenly climbed on the windowsill of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda at this time and said:
"So I decided, I will also jump off this big wild goose pagoda to accompany him!"
Wang Zhihe immediately grabbed Wu Shuangshuang's hand:
"Frost girl, don't be so impulsive, do you think you can compensate him if you jump like this now?"
Wu Shuangshuang said:
"But I'm sorry for him!"
Then he repelled Wang Zhihe with one palm and jumped directly from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
Just as Wu Shuangshuang was about to fall to the ground in mid-air, he was caught by a person.
Wu Shuangshuang's face couldn't help but smile at this time, but after landing on the ground, when he opened his eyes, Wu Shuangshuang was stunned, it turned out that it was Governor Li Jin who saved him.
Wu Shuangshuang immediately said to Li Jin:
"You put me down, let me go quickly!"
At this time, Li Jin looked at Wu Shuangshuang and was directly stunned, and did not pay attention to Wu Shuangshuang.
After Wu Shuangshuang angrily gave Li Jin a slap at this time, Li Jin eased up at this time, and quickly put down Wu Shuangshuang, and said:
"Princess, why did you do this to me?
Wu Shuangshuang replied angrily:
"I don't need you to save me, you go away for me!"
Then he immediately ran towards the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and when he returned to the Big Goose, he had already lost his sights.
So Wu Shuangshuang came down to the tower, grabbed the collar of a monk who was guarding under the tower gate, and said:
"Where is the Mistress who went upstairs with me just now?
The monk was so frightened that urine flowed out of his pants:
"I ...... I...... I've always ...... Stay here all the time...... Here, no...... Didn't see the ...... Mishi-sama come down?"
Wu Shuangshuang let go of the monk, walked back and said to Governor Li Jin:
"Why don't you send someone to help me find Wang Yushi? Wang Jin, if you don't find him out for me tonight, don't let me see you in the future!"
Wang Jin said helplessly:
"Okay...... Okay, obey the order, I will send someone to arrest and kill the king now, and bring his head to relieve your anger to the princess!"
Wu Shuangshuang shouted at Li Jin again:
"Stop!"
Li Jin stopped, turned around and asked Wu Shuangshuang:
"Princess, is there still an order?"
Wu Shuangshuang shouted loudly:
"Did you hear that? Princess Ben asked you to arrest that Wang Zhihe and send it to Princess Ben, didn't you want to kill it, do you understand? I want someone alive and unharmed, do you understand?"
Li Jin hurriedly replied:
"Got it...... If I understand it, I will arrest the living people, and I will definitely catch Wang Zhihe's kid in front of you unscathed, the princess!"
At this time, in a ruined temple outside Xi'an, Wang Zhihe was sitting in the ruined temple and eating a piece of flatbread with relish.
And under the case of broken temple incense, there seems to be a shirtless man who was tied up with five flowers, and his mouth was stuffed with rags, and he was lying on the ground struggling.
Wang Zhihe asked the shirtless man who was tied under the incense case while eating the flatbread:
"Are you hungry? Do you know it's wrong now?"
The shirtless man kept kowtowing to Wang Zhihe, until his forehead was bloody, and Du didn't forget to say:
"Okay, don't knock, I'll give you something to eat!"
Then he walked over, pulled out the rag from the bare-chested man's mouth, and then put another piece of uneaten flatbread to the bare-chested man's mouth and let him eat it.
After the shirtless man finished eating the flatbread, Wang Zhihe smiled at it:
"Look at you like this, why did you know why you had to do it today?"
The bare-chested man immediately begged for mercy:
"Daxia, please let me go, I beg you, you just let me go, I still have an eighty-year-old mother and an unweaned child waiting for me to go back to take care of them, if I am really gone, how can they live?"
Wang Zhihe tore a piece of dough from his face at this time, revealing his true face, isn't this Du Yixin who was knocked off the cliff by Wu Shuangshuang's sneak attack?
It turned out that after Du did not forget to be attacked by Wu Shuangshuang that day, although he suffered some slight injuries, it was not a big deal, after all, Du did not forget to be alone in the world.
After Du Buyi fell halfway to the cliff, he pulled out the Tai'a sword from behind him, and then found an opportunity to directly put the Tai'a sword into the stone wall, and in this way, Du Buyi stayed on the cliff halfway.
After resting for a while, Du Buyi slowly descended the cliff with the power of Tai'a's sword.
After arriving below, there was a stream, Du did not forget to follow the stream to freshen up, and was about to go back to Huashan to find Wu Shuangshuang for revenge, when suddenly at the foot of the mountain met an official leading a horse who was beating an old man lying on the ground with a horsewhip.
Du Bu Bu hurriedly went over and snatched the leather whip from the official's hand, and then asked the old man what the situation was.
From the old man's mouth, it turned out that the old man was a nearby villager, and he was about to go to the fields to work today, but he passed here, but he didn't expect to be knocked down by the horseback riding official, so the official jumped off the horse and insulted the old man for blocking his way, and began to whip the old man with a horsewhip.
After listening to this, Du did not forget to question the official:
"As an official of the imperial court, why are you so careless about people's lives?"
The official said disdainfully:
"Are the lives of these people worth money? Even if they are given to the official, the official still doesn't look down on them?"
Du Buyi was even more angry at this time, and directly waved the horsewhip and whipped the official's two legs, the official wanted to resist, but he was not an opponent at all, and after being whipped a few times by Du Buyi, he had to kneel on the ground and kowtow and beg for mercy.
So Du did not forget to find a rope on the official's horseback, tied up the official's five flowers, and found a letter of appointment from the official with the emperor's seal.
Du did not forget to read this letter of appointment, only to know that this official was actually sent by the Metropolitan Procuratorate to inspect the officials of Xi'an Mansion, and the imperial history name was Wang Zhihe.
So Du did not forget to search out all the silver that Wang Zhihe had on his body and gave it to the old man, and then thought of a plan, why not use the name of Wang Zhihe to let the commander of Xi'an City send troops to exterminate the White Lotus Sect and the Maitreya Sect?
Thinking of this, Du Bu decided to let Wu Shuangshuang go for the time being, so he put the tied Wang Zhihe on horseback, gagged its mouth, and then went all the way to Xi'an City.
And this day happened to be the second day when Du did not forget to go to Xi'an City with this Wang Zhihe.
Du did not forget to glared at Wang Zhihe viciously at this time:
"Don't take the old mother and young son to win Lao Tzu's sympathy, Lao Tzu, let me tell you, I don't eat your set, do you understand?"
Wang Zhihe hurriedly changed his words at this time:
"Hero...... Swordsman...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I did lie to you just now, in fact, I have three wives and concubines in my family, and a pair of children, but they are really waiting for me to go back and feed them?"
Du did not forget to question again:
"You raise so many wives and concubines, so are you embezzling and accepting bribes a lot of money a month?"
Wang Zhihe hesitated for a moment and made a two-tone gesture with his hand.
Du did not forget to ask again:
"Twenty taels?"
Wang Zhihe shook his head:
"It's not!"
Du did not forget to ask again:
"Two hundred taels?"
Wang Zhihe still shook his head.
Du Yi shouted angrily:
"How much money do you embezzle and bribe in a month?"
Wang Zhihe trembled with fright and said:
"I can collect up to 20,000 taels a month, and at least a few thousand taels a month. โ
Du didn't forget to stand up directly and kicked Wang Zhihe in the leg fiercely:
"You actually receive 20,000 taels of silver a month for a small imperial history, do you have a good conscience? When you first read the books of the sages, did you forget the teachings of the sages?"
Wang Zhihe held back the pain and said:
"I also have no choice, the first time I went out as a royal historian, I didn't disdain to do corruption and bribery, but when you go home and find that the wives and children of your colleagues are living a life of fine clothes and food, while your own wives and children and parents can only work in the fields facing the loess, and they are low in terms of official income, think about what you are doing as an official? It's not to let your family live a good life!"
Du Buyi immediately questioned again:
"Then do you think that getting fame and becoming an official is not for the people, but just for your own parents and children to live a good life?"
Wang Zhihe replied:
"Yes, before I was admitted to the meritorious service, I was actually full of enthusiasm for sacrificing my life for the country, but after becoming an official, you found that this officialdom is not as simple as I first thought, just like my imperial history, although I am under the banner of an inspector and a hundred officials, but who do I dare to investigate? Who does not have a few backstage in the court?"
Du did not forget a burst of ridicule:
"Then you can unscrupulously accept bribes everywhere in the name of Yushi, aren't you afraid of the East Window incident?"
็็ฅ้นค says:
"What if you don't take bribes, there will only be more people who report you to the emperor every day, because they will all worry that people like you who don't take bribes will stab them in the back. โ
Du did not forget a wry smile:
"Then let me ask you, if I let you go, will you still do those things of corruption and bribery in the future?"
Wang Zhihe sighed:
"Alas, in fact, it's not a last resort, who wants to do the kind of corruption and bribery that will leave a stinking for thousands of years and lose their conscience, I have always wanted to change my past wrongs, but I always can't resist the temptation of those white flowers, but after this incident, if you can give me another chance, I decided to change my past mistakes in the future!"
Du did not forget to ask:
"What do you want to do?"
Wang Zhihe replied:
"After my trip to Xi'an, when I return to Beijing, I will resign and return to my hometown, return to my old life with my family, and then take all the money I have received from bribes in the past few years to help the poor people near the township!"
Du was a little relieved at this time:
"Okay, that's enough for you!"
Then he untied the rope on his body for this Wang Zhihe, took off all his official clothes and hats and returned them to him, and said:
"Let's go!"
Wang Zhihe was very grateful and saluted Du Yiyi and said:
"Daxia, you are the most upright and kind person I Wang Zhihe has met in my life, can I know your name?"
Du did not forget to hesitate, and then said:
"Okay, then I'll tell you, my name is Du Don't forget, and the people in the DPRK call me Du Tanhua!"
Wang Zhihe was stunned at this time, and stood there for a long time without speaking.
After slowing down for a while, Wang Zhihe immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Du Yiyi:
"Du Tanhua, I, Wang Zhihe, never thought that I would be able to recognize you in my life, and I heard your golden and jade words, I swear that I Wang Zhihe will resign in the future, and I will be like Du Tanhua, and I will be a person with a heart for the people. โ
Don't forget to smile:
"Okay, without further ado, let's go!"
Wang Zhihe said helplessly at this time:
"Du Tanhua, but you gave away all the money on me, I don't even have any money for dinner now, where should I go, and I have already promised you not to accept bribes from anyone in the future?"
Du did not forget to take it out of his arms, found a handful of broken silver, and gave half of it to Wang Zhihe:
"I hope you remember what you said today, I have all this silver in my body, in fact, you can barely stay in Xi'an City for a few days if you save some money. โ
