In terms of money, Li Zhi was extremely confident about Yun Chu.
Because he was the first person in the Tang Dynasty who took the initiative to hand over a huge amount of war proceeds.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty went out and captured some and returned them to the public and some to individuals. If Yun Chu was as greedy as those veteran generals, the Yun family would not have to work hard to support their family business by selling steamed buns and noodles in Chang'an.
Ever since Yunchu became a famous general in the Tang Dynasty, he has been impeached countless times by the imperial officials over the years. Among them, he was a small eighth-rank official who came to Chang'an and had a mansion and a large family property.
Where the money comes from is the focus of their attack.
What Zhang Donghai told Yunchu.
This is what Li Zhi said to the imperial officials in the court - it has been too long and there is no real evidence.
This is a textbook-accurate answer.
The emperor will not keep his words to death.
He would not say such decisive words as "Would you rather have this happen?"
When Yun Chu saw Fang Zheng, the damn fat man was greatly shocked!
The so-called big pull is to hang up the fat Fang Zheng, then use small hooks to penetrate his skin and then pull it out forcefully. After hundreds of small hooks hook his skin, the whole person looks like
The cobbler who cooked the leather stretches the sheepskin on a wooden board. At this time, the small and shrinking sheepskin will usually become half as big.
As a result, Fangzheng became bigger and Yunchu didn't recognize it at first sight.
It wasn't until Zhang Donghai introduced that this piece of leather was Fang Zheng that Yun Chu recognized this former brother.
There aren't many places where Fangzheng can move throughout his body.
One is the eyes.
One is the mouth.
When he saw Yun Chu coming in, he struggled hard for a while, causing the wound to start bleeding. After a while, he remembered something again and resigned himself to his fate, closing his eyes and mouth.
Yun Chu is here.
Zhang Donghai put down the naked Fang Zheng and said to Yun Chu, "In such a cold weather, this guy can still survive until now. I have to say that life is really hard."
Yun Chu looked at Fang Zheng, who was shivering in a sheepskin and said, "Human, in the face of some persistence, life really doesn't mean anything."
Fang Zheng, who was trembling, suddenly opened his mouth and said to Yun Chu, "For the sake of our brothers, kill me. I will miss you in the next life."
Yunchu looked at Zhang Donghai and said, "When did this guy surrender me?"
Zhang Donghai chuckled and said, "First the merchants, then the subordinates, then the colleagues, then the Shangguan, the domestic slaves, the concubines, and the clansmen. You were the last one to speak. After telling your story, he didn't say a single word.
I refused to say anything, so I used this method of stretching the sheepskin."
Yun Chu smiled and kicked Fang Zheng and said, "Should I feel honored for finally confessing me?"
Fang Zheng hid his face in the sheepskin and said, "They poured a kind of water into my valley. The pain was unbearable. I just want to die quickly. As long as I die, it doesn't matter if you whip me to death. I don't know anyway."
Yunchu looked back at Zhang Donghai.
Zhang Donghai smiled and said, "Chili pepper water, Baiqisi made it newly."
Yun Chu and Wen Wen looked at each other, and then helplessly said to Fang Zheng, "I grew the peppers."
Fang Zheng stuck his head out and looked at Yun Chu and said, "In this case, I won't lose money by selling you."
Zhang Donghai looked down at Fang Zheng and said, "Do you think that if you bite your tongue and don't talk about your seven brothers-in-law, a certain family won't know about the connection between you?"
Fang Zheng struggled to lift the sheepskin to reveal his tattered body, and said to Yun Chu, "For the sake of my kindness to you in the past, kill me. Don't let me see more than 600 members of my family being beheaded.
Distributed, sold by officials"
Yun Chu kicked the sheepskin with his feet until it covered Fang Zheng's body and walked out of the execution room. After thinking for a long time, he asked Zhang Donghai, "Can he still live?"
Zhang Donghai said, "This guy's crimes are so numerous that they are too numerous to describe."
Yun Chu said, "Sin is unforgivable?"
Zhang Donghai laughed and said, "He and Gao Xian were digging for gold, so there were many bones on the Shanshan Jin Beach."
"Tang people?"
"He is not worthy! Some of them were Turkic prisoners, and some were Hu people from some small tribes. Three Hu people tribes were exterminated by his hands, resulting in the sparse population in Gaochangsai."
"Is there any hope of living?" Yun Chu asked unwillingly.
Zhang Donghai took out a document with a dragon pattern from his arms and gave it to Yun Chu, saying, "As long as the monarch puts his seal on it, Fang Zheng will be able to live and his official position will be restored."
Yun Chu took the document and read both sides, then said, "Blank?"
Zhang Donghai said, "I have two blank documents like this. If I use them up, my life will be over."
Yun Chu thought for a moment and returned the document to Zhang Donghai and said, "Why don't I have such a thing?"
Zhang Donghai smiled and said, "This is something only spies have. The kings and princes are the people of Qiancheng in the Tang Dynasty, so naturally they won't have it."
Yun Chu said to Gentle with a solemn expression, "Will the number of documents for people like Zuo Chun be more?"
Gentle and hard shook her head and said "I don't know."
Yun Chu turned his attention to Zhang Donghai again.
Zhang Donghai shook his head and said, "There is no general. The reason why there are two humble posts is that one is from Zhechong Duwei and the other is from Liaodong."
Wen Wenwen sighed and said, "This is a pit, maybe it was dug just for you."
Yun Chu asked, "Is it possible that Pei Xingjian has jumped into the pit?"
Zhong Kui said angrily, "It would be inhumane to harm Pei Xingjian again just for the sake of a corrupt official."
Yun Chu followed goodness like flowing.
Then he asked, "Where is Xue Rengui?"
Wen Wen said, "Whether it's Pei Xingjian or Xue Rengui, it can be used. The question is, what should we pay back?"
When Zhang Donghai saw no one around, he whispered, "Fengchai! The phoenix hairpin with Dongzhu inlaid on it, Miss Naha has it on her head."
Yun Chu's face twitched twice and he said, "I'll probably never know what I owe her in my lifetime."
No, I don’t need your life-saving documents, I don’t need to trick Pei Xingjian, Xue Rengui, let alone the prince, and the queen.
I personally wrote to Your Majesty and explained clearly the cause and effect of the matter. Whether Fang Zheng can survive depends on Your Majesty. Regardless of whether Fang Zheng survives or not, at least I have a clear conscience.
We don’t have personal relationships, so we just submitted the letter.”
After saying that, Yun Chu turned around and left the governor's mansion.
Without looking at Fang Zheng's files, Yun Chu knew that if this guy were to be considered according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, it would not be wrong to call him full of evildoers.
He and his brothers-in-law have formed an interest group that specializes in extracting profits from the Western Regions to support the family in Guanzhong.
At this time, Yun Chu's character must be upright, at least from the perspective of the law when looking at Fang Zheng.
However, this does not affect Yunchu Shangshu's plea for Fang Zheng. This is the tenderness of the Tang Dynasty's laws, and it is also the essence of Changsun Wuji's painstaking efforts to prepare "Tang Laws and Regulations", leaving him a way to escape.
.
Those who are good at swimming drown in the water, those who are good at riding fall from their horses, those who are good at drinking become drunk with wine, and those who make laws die under the laws. This all has a great law of cause and effect, which is what Taoists often say is the one that escapes.
This is also the reason why the royal family of Li and Tang Dynasties did not respect the whole.
It was also the only chance of survival that Yun Chu could fight for Fang Zheng.
Zhang Donghai handed over Fang Zheng to Yun Chu. From now on, Yun Chu will be responsible for all Fang Zheng's problems. He is obviously not worried about what problems may arise in the process.
I thought that doing this would cause dissatisfaction with Wen Wen and Zhong Kui. As a result, after leaving the governor's office, Wen Wen laughed and said, "I used to worry that you were too cold-hearted in doing things and thought too much about the pros and cons.
Now it seems that your blood is still warm, at least you can’t be absolutely ruthless, so I’m quite pleased.”
Zhong Kui said, "You think Yun Chu is not even willing to give up on a bastard like Fang Zheng, let alone you, right?"
Wen Wen said, "It's rough but not rough. That's what I mean. It makes me more like a person."
According to our family's family motto, people who have never made mistakes and have never made mistakes should be kept at a distance."
Wen Wen said to Yun Chu again, "We are no longer young men, let alone ordinary petty officials. We can't pursue weirdness over and over again in our work, but should start to change to be upright."
My ancestors often said: A great man must have a brilliant spirit."
Zhong Kui praised, "As expected, you come from a rumored family. There are more than two ways to say everything. No wonder your family can stand firm in the Tang Dynasty. I admire you, I admire you."
Fangzheng was wrapped in cowhide by someone sent by Zhang Donghai and carried to Yunchu's residence.
He asked the accompanying doctor to treat him and put on the cotton-padded clothes, pants, hat and shoes that were originally intended for him. The fat man cried loudly while ferociously eating a bowl of noodles.
Then he started his own journey of ruining things.
Yun Chu brought the impeachment documents he obtained from Zhang Donghai to Fang Zheng to read.
The person who impeached him was his third brother-in-law, the famous General Yunhui, a man from Zhouzhi County, and the fourth-rank Beiting Protectorate Chief Shi Pei Dongfeng.
In the Tang Dynasty, it was basically the end for ordinary officials to be promoted to the fourth rank. Once they broke through the shackles of the fourth rank, the names of such people would basically be recorded in the annals of history.
Pei Dongfeng was an official lower than the fourth rank ten years ago. Ten years later, he only moved up one level and became an official of the fourth rank.
However, judging from the content of his impeachment memorial against Fang Zheng, we can see that this man is still a good official who is loyal to the public body. Every word and sentence in his impeachment content wants Fang Zheng to die early and resurrect him.
"I treat you better than your brother-in-law. You would rather betray me than betray your brother-in-law."
Fang Zheng was not excited at all after reading the impeachment document. Instead, he closed the document and carefully placed it on Yun Chu's desk and said, "When I was born, my third sister was exactly ten years old. My mother was not very energetic, so she gave me to me."
The third sister took me with me. It can be said that I grew up on her back.
Last year, my third sister’s child got married, and this year I received a letter saying that she gave birth to a big, fat boy..."
Yun Chu said, "So you think you should die by yourself, right?"
Fangzheng covered his buttocks and said, "I'm a big trouble now. You shouldn't save me. You should find a way to kill me. Isn't this easy for you?"
Yun Chu nodded and said, "It's really not that difficult."
Fang Zheng looked at Yun Chu and said, "So, you did something wrong."
Yun Chu said, "Quickly think of a way to portray this evil guy like you in such a way that the emperor can forgive you and finally spare your life."
Fangzheng took a sip of sugar tea and burped comfortably and said, "Of course you pay for your life with money. Isn't this strange in the Tang Dynasty?"
Yun Chu shook his head and said, "I remember starting from the fourth year of Yonghui
Your Majesty has stopped imposing copper fines. Besides, you have so many evil deeds in Zhang Donghai’s file. How do you atone for your sins? How much money do you need to atone for your sins?”
Fang Zheng said, "No matter how much money it is, I can afford it."
Yun Chu was stunned for a moment and looked at Fang Zheng and said, "Didn't Zhang Donghai clean you out?"
Fangzheng spread his hands and said, "After all, I don't have any money now. I am a real poor man."
However, I have been struggling in the Western Regions for fourteen years. No one knows how to make money in the Western Regions better than me.
As long as you lend me a thousand slaves and a hundred soldiers, and give me half a year, I can get you five thousand taels of gold.
As a Tang person, as long as I don’t harm Tang people, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, it’s not a crime, right?
I still remember that for killing the barbarians in the Jisi area, you could be exempted from the crime by paying a compensation of 500 taels, and the fine of 5,000 taels of gold was enough.
Of course, the premise is that Your Majesty doesn’t take notice of an ant like me and is willing to let me go like a fart.”
