Chapter 250 Cashier

When Wei Zheng dragged his slightly tired body back to Taiyuan General Mansion, he was shocked by the lively scene at the gate of General Mansion.

More than a dozen official sedan chairs of different colors were parked on both sides of the gate of the General's Mansion in turn, and the servants and guards carrying the sedan chairs were hundreds of people, almost blocking the streets at the gate of the General's Mansion.

Just as Wei Zheng showed a puzzled expression on his face, Wang Zhongyu behind him suddenly spoke: "Sir, these people are quite conscious of the current affairs. After knowing that there would be no way out with the governor, he changed the house and came to see you overnight, hoping to get your recognition..."

Wei Zheng's eyes lit up and he replied thoughtfully: "Change the ward... If I was not surprised, this is only one aspect. Don't forget that the current Taiyuan Prefecture and Taiyuan Prefecture Tongzhi have both vacancies, and these two positions are fat. I can guarantee that most of them are staring at these two positions."

In the Ming Dynasty, there were very strict regulations on the official sedan chairs of any grade and no one could cross it.

Therefore, at the reminder of Wang Zhongyu of the side, Wei Zheng could see at a glance that the people who came to pay homage to him were all civil and military officials below the fourth rank of Taiyuan Prefecture... I was so anxious to leave a good impression in front of me. If it weren't for running for the official position, Wei Zheng would not believe it if he said it.

At this time, Wei Zheng continued: "I also plan to select a few good officials from the civil and military officials of Taiyuan Prefecture for my use. Since they have all come, I will just watch them all at once and see who they are. I can pass my test and have the ability to become the prefect of Taiyuan..."

Then, Wei Zheng turned his words and whispered to Wang Zhongyu.

"General Wang, among these people, there should be military officers you are very familiar with... You let him spread some rumors to the civil and military officials outside the General's Office, telling them that I, the governor of Shanxi and Shaanxi, are very greedy for money. If you want to become the prefect of Taiyuan and become the co-magistrate of Taiyuan Prefecture, you can buy it for me..."

"In addition, in order to make everyone believe this rumor, you have to do this..."

Wei Zheng walked around the back door of the General's Mansion and quietly returned to the General's Mansion. A rumor quickly spread among the civil and military officials at the entrance of the General's Mansion.

"Dear sirs, do you all know... The Governor, who just took office, looks like a grudge, is actually very greedy for money."

"A colleague of mine who was the county magistrate in Datong told me that when the Governor General took office as General General, he held a banquet at the General Office for money, and in the name of helping the victims, he forcibly paid silver to all the officials and gentry attending the banquet in the name of helping the victims... In just one night, the Governor General distributed millions of taels from Datong Mansion..."

"I wonder if you have brought enough money. Our Governor is so heartless. Thousands of taels of silver are not in his eyes..."

"If you want the Governor to value you and give you a higher official, it is impossible to do without more than 100,000 taels of silver."

At this time, a seventh-rank county magistrate retorted in a low voice: "Mr. Wang, it's impossible... The Governor just killed so many corrupt officials on the charge of embezzlement and bribery in the day. I'll collect cash now. That's a big change..."

The so-called Lord Wang replied with a contempt expression: "Mr. Li, no surprise, you don't even have ten taels of silver on you now... Just like you are so poor, I promise, you won't even see the Governor..."

Then, he continued to say to his thoughtful colleague, "As the saying goes, no one thinks that he has too much money in his hands, and our Governor is the same. It is definitely better to bring silver than not to bring silver."

And at this moment, perhaps in order to prove this sentence, the gate of the General's Mansion, which had been closed, was finally opened.

At the same time, a guard with a knife stepped out and shouted to the adults in front of him.

"Master Wang, the general of Taiyuan, sent a gift of 50,000 taels of silver to congratulate you on being promoted to the Governor of Shanxi and Shaanxi..."

The Governor General Wang Zhongyu gave him 50,000 taels of silver, not to mention those who cannot be called confidants.

So, after hearing the words shouted by the guard with swords, outside the General's Mansion, a strong smile immediately appeared on the face of the person carrying the silver. With the silver in his arms, he quickly walked towards the gate of the General's Mansion, waiting for the Wei Zheng to summon him.

The civil and military officials who did not bring the money hurriedly ordered the housekeeper and guards to go back quickly to get the money...

As for the few civil officials who are honest and have no money to give away. The faces that were still hesitant just now showed an unprecedented solemnity.

Because if Wei Zheng really told everyone that he was a corrupt official and became a corrupt official of the governor of Shanxi and Shaanxi. He who had no money to respect himself would definitely be excluded in his future career as an official...

When colleagues sent a lot of silver notes to the General's Mansion, and then left the General's Mansion with a satisfied smile, these people became more worried about their future in the officialdom.

As the official sedan chairs in front of the General's Mansion left one after another, several officials led by the Tongzong of Datong Mansion had to bite the bullet and walk to the General's Mansion and say.

"Mr. Wang Yang and all the lords came to pay their respects to the Governor. Please inform the guards..."

"Where is the silver..." Under Wei Zheng's instructions, the personal guard seemed to have not heard this, and directly reached his right hand in front of Lord Wang Yang and asked with a proud face.

A bitter smile quickly appeared on the faces of Wang Yang and the officials behind him.

As the saying goes, "The seventh rank official in front of the prime minister's sect..."

In order to see Wei Zheng, Wang Yang, who is the fifth-rank magistrate of Taiyuan Prefecture in the court, had to hold back his dissatisfaction and continued with a smile.

"This makes me laugh at you... We are not as rich as other officials, and we can often cost tens of thousands of taels of silver... Even if we pay for the money, we only have dozens of taels of silver, which makes people laugh at you. So, we really don't have the money, so please let this brother go in and report it..."

"You really don't have any money..." the guard asked back with a look of suspicion on his face.

"No really..."

After Wang Yang's repeated confirmation, the guard walked into the General's Mansion with a complex expression of reluctance and dissatisfaction.

Just when Wang Yang and others thought that Governor Wei Zheng would definitely not see him, an accident happened.
