129 People give gifts, and they take bribes
Fu Baobao wanted to use the hands of the government to find out what the Demon Sect's holy aunt Zhao Biyao intended to pretend to be a heart-picking female thief Black Rose, is it really as rumored in the rivers and lakes to rob the rich and help the poor? Things don't seem to be as simple as imagined, and it may also be a means and strategy of the Demon Sect. She wanted to figure it out, so she unveiled this list and found something exciting for Nameless to do.
For this reason, Fu Baobao and Nameless also pressed their identity cards in the beggar gang to exchange the arrest warrant in the hands of Taishou. If things are not done well, then there will be no normal begging jobs in the future. So it seems that there is still a certain amount of blood, but in this society where counterfeit certificates are rampant, what is this?
Anyway, someone finally took this list, Wei Yong also fell into nothing, and personally verified their abilities, and seemed to believe in the nameless person who claimed to be Bai Baolian's apprentice. At night, all kinds of notices and invitations were sent, and they gathered in a restaurant. A group of people sat at the big table, with big fish and big meat, smiling happily.
Master Wei sat on the upper seat, and Master sat next to him. The people at the table were all dressed in silk and satin and strange gauze clothes, and they drank wine for Lord Wei and Master Wei. Lord Wei also invited He Shui, who was promoted at the same time, to accompany him, and the two of them could wear the same pants, so naturally there was something for him to come over to the staff officer. The people at the table were already blushing, and the master was also drunk, and everyone liked to persuade them to eat and drink.
The uncle of the swinger of the second generation of officials heard that someone had unveiled the list, and was forced by his sister to ask what the situation was and whether there was any whereabouts of the swinger. So after three rounds of drinking, it's time to go deep into the topic and say, "My lord, I toast you." ”
Wei Yong saw that he had something to say, but he seemed to be quite anxious and sweat was still oozing sweat on his forehead, and said with a smile: "Why is my uncle so polite, we should talk about the elders and young at the wine table, Wei Yong, I should respect you." Okay, let's just have a good time today, everything at work is not to be discussed, and whoever talks will be fined three glasses of wine. ”
He staggered to his feet and drank it all, and the ground guard could only take the words back. Everyone praised Lord Wei for his good drinking, and Wei Taishou also boasted about it, and he was full of food about an hour later.
But Di Bao really couldn't help it, so he voluntarily got up and drank three bowls in a row and said, "My lord, I have drunk three bowls in a row, and I really have something to ask you for, and I am not here for my nephew who is not angry." I heard that someone unveiled the list, but I caught the female thief who picked the heart and rescued my child. My sister is such a son, she was so anxious that she fell ill in bed for three days without eating or sleeping, and she had washed her face with tears, and I was worried when I saw it, so I took the liberty of asking the adults about the situation of the female thief. ”
As soon as he said this, there was a big man next to him, who actually hid his face and cried. His unusual behavior made those present wipe away tears. Lord Wei cried when he saw them talking, and he was in a trance and knew very well that the purpose of letting them come was to "give money." ”
Master Huang Yang couldn't afford to speak much, in front of the evil people. He was just the microphone of this Taishou, and said: "Someone has unveiled the list, Song Laohu, the matter of your little tiger will soon come to light." I think you Songzhuang is also a wealthy person, usually open a casino, open a rice, grain and salt store, and deceive the market must have offended many people. We here are not outsiders anymore, and we are not afraid to tell you the truth, without our protection, can we have your today? I don't know what the hell you guys are doing, which way you offended the cow ghosts and snake gods, and we almost lost our official positions. You're still complaining here, and it's good that I didn't give you some color. ”
"The master taught me a lesson, but my Songzhuang three generations of single transmission, over the years only ended up with this one flesh and blood, and was taken away by others at such a young age, I am really unwilling!" Song Laohu said sadly: "Then, please be sure to save my child back, my child has been missing for two months, I miss him very much." ”
Wei Yong saw that the master had led the way to the road, so he clasped his nose and said, "Yes, not only do you miss him, but we also think about him for you." ”
The hall was full of missing relatives, and they were weeping, pitying, and crying out for injustice.
When Lord Wei saw this scene, it was the time to make a big fuss, and the master saw Wei Taishou's eyes and said, "Everyone get up, and my lord is also holding on to your affairs." You are all good people in the north of the city, and you are also the villagers of our Wei people, we are a family. Your relatives are the relatives of our Lord Wei, and they are also the people of our Lord Wei. ”
Master Wei continued: "Yes, yes, yes. Your relatives are my Wei Yong's relatives, I know all this. For example, Song Zhuang, your child Song Xiaohu, disappeared halfway back from Wanhualou on the full moon night of March 15. ”
"You. He pointed to another and said: "You Zhang Lang is a rich businessman, your third son Zhang San'er openly molested the woman who bought and drank in the restaurant, and the woman who bought and sang was originally a poor person, but Zhang San'er has earned a few stinky money in Longlou over the years, and he wants her to strip in public." ”
"And. Wei Yong walked up and said: "You Wuhai, your little nephew took advantage of your majesty to bully the people, and also robbed the people's daughters, and disappeared early on the 13th of last month. ”
Wei Yong had a great intention of eliminating violence and peace in one breath, and said that those people were heinous people, and said with a smile: "And you ......." ”
The master felt that the more Wei knew that the more he talked, the more confused he became, in fact, the two of them were playing a double reed show, and stepped forward to help Wei Taishou and said, "Lord Taishou, you are probably drunk." ”
Wei Zhifu pushed the master away and said, "Who said I-I'm drunk, I'm not drunk." And Zhang He, your nephew is not a person....... ”
He pointed it out happily by name, and said with his mouth closed: "Why is he not a person, you sit here as a parent official and help me find him back!"
"What, what do you say, you say it again. "Taishou is already unstable on his feet, and he has drunk two or two small wines, and he doesn't know who is who and whose surname is who.
The master helped him again and said, "Lord Taishou, you are really drunk, let's go home, let's go home." ”
He Shuiyou also played a round and said: "Don't be surprised, folks, my brother has to get drunk when he drinks, and when he gets drunk, he talks nonsense, don't take it to heart." Lord Wei's original intention was also to be anxious about the people's needs, otherwise he wouldn't have let you come here, let me share his worries. It's just that I drank too much wine, so don't take it seriously. ”
Wei Taishou also said angrily: "Master, you said that I was drunk, without me telling you, I was fine, nothing at all." Today I am very happy and happy. I can finally say all the things that I have buried in my heart and dare not say, and I cannot say them. ”
Song Laohu and Zhang Lang said, "My lord, you are drunk, you are really drunk." We all went back first. ”
When they were about to leave, Wei Taishou shouted, "You all stop for me." ”
He shouted very seriously, very clearly, coaxing, and half-stupid and half-smiling: "I know the pain of your loss, I don't know anything about the past, I only know that you are my good friend and good brother Wei Yong." Since we are good brothers, there are some things that I treat with sincerity. ”
Everyone heard this, as if there was a turning point, Wei Taishou took advantage of this half-clear, half-drunk and half-obscure time and said: "Come on, come on, everyone sit down, sit down." ”
Those people sat down again, and drank a few cups with Wei Taishou. After Wei Taishou had a cup of sobering soup, he seemed to be able to speak vigorously: "You guys, don't worry, as long as I Wei Yong is in office for a day, you give me that little heart, and that matter is our business." But don't make it embarrassing. ”
Everyone boiled up, and when they saw that he finally opened his mouth to receive the gift, they originally thought that there were good things that could not be sent, but they didn't know how big his appetite was, and said loudly: "My lord, I see it." ”
Wei Taishou saw that they all had that kind of meaning, and they were quite knowledgeable, so he stood up and drank a drink with them and said, "Master, look at this night, is it a little darker?" ”
Huang Yang was dumb with him and said, "It's deep, my lord." You're very happy today, my lord, and you haven't gone back so late, really, I'm afraid that Madame is in a hurry?"
Wei Taishou continued to blow the wind and said: "Oh, that's nothing, you see so many brothers together, can I not be happy today? With so many confidants, I can't be happy if I don't want to!"
Wei Taishou saw that those people were reluctant to act, and he seemed to have some worries or something. Huang Yang pretended to be clever and asked, "What the adults said is very right, very right." My lord, we should go home. ”
"Yes, yes, it's time for us to go home. Lord Wei raised his sleeves to leave, and Master looked at those people with a frown.
Governor Wei pretended not to see anything, and just walked outside. A few people surrounded him and said, "Your Excellency, please stay." ”
The Wei Governor's Mansion also stayed, and they presented the gifts that had been prepared long ago. Wei Zhifu seemed to be flattered and said: "What are you doing here, you will not be rewarded for nothing." Don't be like this, it's not good. ”
Those people looked at each other, and one said: "This is a little gift from the villains, all of them should be filial piety to adults." ”
Everyone followed suit, and Lord Wei turned his eyes and said: "What is this, everyone is a confidant, why be so polite?"
Song Laohu is wealthy, so he said uncompromisingly: "The adults regard us as confidants, and we know each other on a blind date. ”
Lord Wei smiled, endured and sank his face again: "What are these words, aren't you harming me? I have been honest and self-clean for officials all my life, and my sleeves are clean, and I have a good reputation. You are not offering me unkindness, unrighteousness, disloyalty and filial piety. Am I sorry for the emperor's great kindness, and I am sorry for the high hopes of the millions of people in Chang'an? If I am soft on people's money and money, and I have a short mouth when I eat other people's things, I can't do this. ”
Those people didn't know what to do, so they looked at the master. The master has already figured out the temper of this Wei prefect, he only has to do a clean and honest confession first, and the fair confession is over, and those people are impatient and can only secretly take it back. Governor Wei also looked at his master with his eyes in his eyes, and coughed heavily for a while. The master tilted his head, squeezed his eyes, and showed it to Song Laohu, Zhang Lang and the others.
At this time, it was silent, and the master was not easy to speak. Wei Zhifu took two steps to the door with his hands behind his back and said, "It's just ......." ”
Song Laohu opened the gift bag with glittering gold bars and a small box of bright silver. Lord Song Zhuang interrupted Lord Wei's words and said, "Lord Xie has taught you a very good lesson. ”
Governor Wei turned around, one eye flashed with golden light, and the other eye flashed with silver light. His mouth was wide enough, and everyone looked at his curious expression.
Governor Wei lost his voice and said, "My ...... Gold. ”
At this time, the scene became lively, and people gave gifts one after another. The gifts were piled up like a mountain, forming a small mountain as high. Wei Taishou shouted sternly: "What are you doing here?" ”
Those people suddenly spoke, and the master whispered to those people again, saying that this Taishou has a common problem, that is, the principle of one refusal, two refusals, and three refusals. Seeing this, Governor Wei softened and said, "However, it doesn't matter, we are friends! ”
He reached out and touched the belongings. Suddenly, a handkerchief embroidered with a rose fell from the sky and pierced the hand of Wei Zhifu. Wei Zhifu screamed in pain, and the master took out the embroidery needle on the handkerchief.
He said in a panic, "Top-picking thief, Black Rose." ”
