Chapter 636 Power and Temptation
Mingyue Tower is one of the high-end restaurants in Yangzhou City. It is located next to Kaiming Bridge on the banks of the Sishui River. Because it is built by the river, you can see the red peony planted on both sides of the Kaiming Bridge by opening the window, so it is very popular among literati and poets. It is because of a sentence from the Song Dynasty poet Jiang Kui in "Yangzhou Slow": I think of the red medicine beside the bridge, and who do you know every year for?
At this moment, the commander of the Nanjing Jinyiwei Commander, Tang Shaozong of Lingbi, sat in the Linhe Elementary School on the second floor. Although they were both martial arts descendants, Tang Marquis did not have the art of elegance like Duke Xu Pengju of Wei. His biggest hobby in his life was silver and beauty, and the inducement that prompted Tang Marquis to stay in Yangzhou for nearly a month was silver and beauty.
The money that Tang Shaozong was thinking about was naturally the nearly one million taels of wealth transported back from Dongtai County by Xu Jin. It is now stored in the Yangzhou Prefecture Office, and the beauty that Mr. Tang was thinking about was Wang Cuiqiao, the winner of the third Jiangnan flower courtesy.
Speaking of the defeat in Dongtai County, Tang Shaozong was so scared that he fled back to Yangzhou. However, this guy did not return to Nanjing, but stayed in Yangzhou, sleeping in flowers and willows every day, or sent someone to pester Wang Cuiqiao, and finally forced Wang Cuiqiao to hide in Xu Jin's house, and then he calmed down a little.
Later, Xu Jin eliminated the group of Japanese pirates who captured Dongtai County and transported nearly 700,000 taels of wealth and goods back to Yangzhou. Tang Shaozong's intentions turned back to this batch of goods. He repeatedly proposed to Xu Jin to transport the goods back to Nanjing's Ministry of Revenue for warehouses, but Xu Jin ignored them.
Although Tang Shaozong was extremely angry, he was not Xu Jin. So today he invited Lu Bing to Mingyue Tower to drink, obviously planning to "save the country in a curve". After all, everyone is a colleague in the Jinyiwei system.
However, Tang Shaozong waited for the rest of the day. Half an hour had passed, and Lu Bing had not yet made the appointment, so Mr. Tang's old face was pulled down at this moment, and he was holding his breath and there was no place to get angry.
"It's outrageous. This kid Lu Bing is too arrogant!" Tang Shaozong thought bitterly. Although Lu Bing is a person around the emperor, this kid is just a household in the Jinyiwei. Whether it is a position or a title, it is no match for him. How dare you neglect this marquis so much?
Just when Tang Shaozong was in a state of anger, something even more angered happened. At this time, his confidant Hu Fei brought a Jinyi lieutenant to push the door and walked in.
The Jinyi Clerk was sent by Lu Bing. He saw him bowing to Tang Shaozong, and then the old god said, "I have been waiting for Commander Tang for a long time, but our Lu Baihu is arresting prisoners and is busy with official duties, so I cannot come to the appointment in person. Please forgive me, Commander Tang."
Tang Shaozong couldn't help but be furious. Since he couldn't come, why did he agree to the appointment? Isn't this clearly a joke? So he slapped the table and cursed: "How dare the children of the Lu family insult me!"
The captain of Jinyi showed a hint of mockery on his lips. He took out a thick piece of stuff from his arms and put it in front of Tang Shaozong. He said in a humble and arrogant manner: "Lu Baihu has told me that if Commander Tang is unhappy, he will show you these."
Tang Shaozong wanted to throw this stack of things directly into the Sishui River outside the window, but he couldn't help but be curious, so he couldn't help but unwrap the envelope and take out a stack of paper from it to browse.
When Tang Shaozong saw the first page, his face changed slightly. The more he looked down, the more gloomy the face became. Finally, it turned into fear, and even a layer of sweat oozed out of his forehead.
It turned out that since Xu Jin gave the order last time, Lu Bing began to secretly collect illegal activities that Tang Shaozong and his tribe had done, and sorted out a large pile of things that are now, such as bullying the market, embezzling and robbing other people's land and property, and even several lawsuits for life. Even the matters such as Tang Shaozong slept with the Japanese girl Ono Lily some time ago were revealed.
As the saying goes, chickens eat fireflies - know it well.
Tang Shaozong naturally knew all the evils he had done and his family. The materials collected and sorted by Lu Bing were almost inseparable and could withstand verification. Not to mention anything else, it was even the matter of sleeping ono Yuri. If Lu Bing insisted on giving him a charge of having an affair with the Japanese, it would be difficult for him to clear him of it.
Tang Shaozong's face was gloomy and gloomy, "I have no grudges and no grudges with Lu Baihu, what is his intention?"
A hint of pride flashed across the face of the Jinyi Captain Lu Bing's subordinate, and he said, "It's not a big deal. Our 100-household master said that if Commander Tang left Yangzhou and returned to Nanjing now, don't harass Wang Cuiqiao, he would pretend that he had never seen these things."
"Xu Jin!!" Tang Shaozong gritted his teeth secretly. If he didn't understand the accuracy behind him at this time, he would have lived to be a dog at this age.
"The words have been brought to you, Commander Tang will do it!" The Jinyi Captain bowed lazily, then turned around and left and went downstairs.
Tang Shaozong stood with a cold face for a moment, finally burned the stuff out of fire, and bitten: "Let's go back to Nanjing!"
Although Tang Shaozong was lustful and greedy for money, he was not so confused that he was desperate. Xu Jin now held the sword of the imperial envoy Shang Fang. As long as the sword edge was slightly off, he, a marquis, would have to lose his skin even if he didn't die. He couldn't afford to offend him!
...
The Jinyi Captain did not lie. Lu Bing did go to catch the prisoner again. The target was the boss of a Xiao Bushang, who was charged with participating in smuggling.
Not much effort had been spent, Lu Bing detained the boss of the Bushang back to the government office. He was too lazy to interrogate a small character like this, so he was directly imprisoned. He would release him as long as his family came to receive ransom.
By the way, Lu Bing has made a lot of money by using this method during this period, so he studied well for three years and learned bad things for three days. Some things are not taught by others at all. As long as he holds power in his hands, people with unstable will gradually be corrupted by the power in his hands, and thus completely degenerate and corrupt.
Of course, Lu Bing is just the beginning now, and he dare not be greedy. He just made some gains from small fuss.
"Lu Baihu, my subordinates have already brought the words to Tang Shaozong." Taking advantage of the opportunity when Lu Bing sat down and had a tea to rest, the Jinyi Captain reported.
Lu Bingxiao asked with interest: "How does Mr. Tang react?"
The Jinyi Clerk said proudly: "At the beginning, Tang Shaozong scolded Lu Baihu, but later he saw those crimes. Hey, he was so scared that he was sweating coldly. He probably was packing up his things and preparing to go back to Nanjing!"
Lu Bing smiled contemptuously. Although Tang Shaozong was a famous marquis, he did not take it seriously. He was just a marquis who stayed in Nanjing to retire. What a great deal.
"This is a good thing, just take it and take it to make a meal!" Lu Bing threw out a piece of silver.
The Jinyi School Captain quickly took the silver and said with a smile: "Thank you, Lord Baihu. Hehe, Wang Cuiqiao is really worthy of being the beauty who won the courtesan of Jiangnan for three consecutive terms. That day when she was kidnapped by the thief monks from Daming Temple, her subordinates were fortunate to meet him. Tsk tsk, he is really a stunning figure who is fascinating to the whole country. No wonder Tang Shaozong, this old guy, never forgets, Lord Xu is so blessed."
Lu Bing glanced at the guy and smiled: "What, you boy is envious? Hey, don't urinate, do you deserve to be envious if you don't urinate?"
"Oh, who is Lord Xu? He is naturally not worthy of being a young man, and he doesn't even have the qualification to envy him." The Jinyi Captain smiled and said, "But it's not bad to keep that Ono Lily in our government office and prison. It's so sexy and delicious. The key is that we can still reach it!"
Lu Bing couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Get out, you can't even get it."
Lu Bing drove the vulgar guy out and sat down again to continue drinking tea. In his mind, Yuri Ono's buttocks like a ripe melon when she was kneeling, the seductive curves squeezed out when she sat on her legs...
The more Lu Bing thought about the evil fire in his abdomen, he became more and more powerful. He stood up and walked back and forth a few steps in annoyance. Finally, he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Come here!"
Two Jinyiwei guards outside the door walked in and said respectfully: "What are the instructions of Lord Baihu?"
"Go... take the Japanese girl Ono Yuri, and I want to interrogate her!"
The two Jinyiwei looked at each other with ambiguous expressions, agreed and left, and went to the prison to pick someone up.
