Six Hundred and Two: Antique Calligraphy and Painting
When Liu Sansan heard this, he immediately sneered and said: "Why don't you say yes? Bring them all back to me!" The man immediately shouted: "It's unfair! It's unfair, sir! The common people are just doing hard work, why do you want to arrest the villain?"
!”
Jia Yucun felt a little guilty when he heard this, but Liu Sansan's self-confidence forced him to suppress his uneasiness and follow Liu Sansan's work.
When Liu Sansan heard what the man said, he was so angry that he almost jumped up and yelled: "You know in your heart why we arrested you! Stop talking nonsense! Tell us or not! If you don't tell, you will get the consequences."
!”
At this time, Weng Fuyan appeared, waved his hand and said: "Stop it! Who are you? How dare you come to my Luo Gang's territory to cause trouble!"
When Liu Sansan saw that Weng Fuyan was so aggressive and had so many people, he suddenly panicked, but he still held on and said: "Big, bold! Do you know who I am? You, you want to
To prevent the imperial court from doing its business?"
Weng Fuyan looked as if he was frightened by the official uniforms of Liu Sansan and others. He quickly asked the brothers to put down the things in their hands, and then he hurriedly stepped forward respectfully and cupped his hands: "Two adults, don't you know that late at night?"
Why are you visiting our Luo Gang’s territory?”
Liu Sansan snorted coldly when he heard this: "You know why we are here!" Weng Fuyan was a little stunned when he heard this, but he still held up his hands and said: "Please tell me clearly..."
Liu Sansan snorted coldly and said: "Stop pretending to be ignorant! Why don't you say yes? If not, why don't you come with us?"
When Weng Fuyan heard this, he immediately said anxiously: "How could you do this? We are law-abiding and good people! How could you do this to us?"
Jia Yucun also quickly said with a red face: "Sir, please calm down, I don't know how to address this person?" Weng Fuyan clasped his fists and said: "I am Weng Fuyan, the leader of the Luo Gang, and I have met these two adults."
Jia Yucun smiled and said: "Oh, it turns out to be Gang Leader Weng. Gang Leader Weng, you said that we have already stood here, then we have certain evidence. What's the use of continuing to be tough?"
Weng Fuyan's expression changed drastically after hearing this. After thinking for a while, Jia Yucun and Liu Sansan looked at each other, and then Liu Sansan continued to angrily said: "Have you thought about it? To recruit or not to recruit? No to recruit."
Come with us now!"
Weng Fuyan hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Two adults, it's not that I don't want to recruit you, but I really don't know what to recruit!"
Liu Sansan said angrily: "I don't know what to recruit? Where does this food come from? Where is it shipped? Recruit it from the truth. Anyone who dares to tell a lie will be beheaded!"
[To be honest, I’ve been using the Changing Source app recently to read and catch up on new books. It allows me to switch sources and read aloud with many different sounds. It’s available on both Android and Apple.]
Jia Yucun smiled and said: "Oh, Gang Leader Weng seems to be a smart man, why do you have to end up like this for some unrelated people? Gang Leader Weng, you'd better say it, why risk your own life?"
Weng Fuyan seemed to hesitate for a long time, and then he handed over his hand and said: "Two adults, it's not that I won't tell you, but the things in this have nothing to do with our Luo Gang. Our Luo Gang also does things for others, and they give us money.
We will help deliver the goods, but we don’t know what to deliver..."
Liu Sansan sneered: "In this case, we have to open the box and inspect the goods!" Weng Fuyan said helplessly: "If you are like this, we have no right to stop it, but these goods are all the goods of Mr. Zhang from the Ministry of Revenue!"
Liu Sansan and Jia Yucun looked at each other, and both said in their hearts: "It's true!" Then Liu Sansan said calmly: "Master Zhang from the Ministry of Finance? Which Master Zhang is this?"
Weng Fuyan said with a smile: "How many Mr. Zhangs are there in the Ministry of Revenue? Of course it belongs to Mr. Zhang Gong, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue!" Liu Sansan sneered and said: "What I am checking is your Zhang Gong's goods! Someone come and give it to me!"
I’ll unbox and inspect the goods!”
Weng Fuyan was unable to stop him, so the two officials went up, opened the box, and dumped it on the ground. The white rice was instantly scattered all over the floor!
"Sir! It's white rice!"
The two clerks looked back at Liu Sansan. Liu Sansan and Jia Yucun took a breath of cold air at the same time. Liu Sansan said in a deep voice: "Open all the boxes!"
"yes!"
Seeing this, Weng Fuyan hurriedly stopped him and said, "Sir, you only need to check one. If you check them all, what should we do..."
Liu Sansan sneered and grabbed Weng Fuyan's collar and said, "Doing something? Do you still want to do something? Do you know how much trouble you have gotten into? You can't explain this matter, just wait for your head to move!"
Liu Sansan said, then turned around and walked outside, saying: "We are all waiting here! Guard! No one can come! I will go back and send someone here!"
After hearing this, Weng Fuyan hurriedly followed Liu Sansan, saying as he walked: "Sir! Sir! This villain is wronged! This villain just collects money to do things! We don't know what the goods are, so we just follow them. Who?
I know it’s against the law! Sir! Sir, you’ve learned the lesson clearly!”
Liu Sansan sneered and said nothing, Jia Yucun quickly laughed and said: "Look at you, this anti-American crime has reached this point, we have no way to make the decision... But!"
Jia Yucun seemed to be anxious when he saw Weng Fuyan, so he quickly said: "But it doesn't mean that there is nothing we can do..."
Weng Fuyan was silent as he spoke. Weng Fuyan sneered in his heart and cursed the dog officer secretly. However, he also wanted to complete the task, so when he saw this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he very sensibly took out a stack of banknotes from his arms.
, divided into two piles, one pile was given to Jia Yucun in front of him, and the other pile was given to Liu Sansan: "Sir, the little ones understand! The little ones understand!"
Jia Yucun accepted it calmly, but Liu Sansan sneered and said unmoved: "I have a clear sleeve! What are you doing? Hurry up and put it away!"
Now Weng Fuyan was a bit confused. After all, he was a fool. Although he had some dealings with officials, it was obvious that he did not fully understand the unspoken rules of officialdom.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Did Liu Sansan refuse to accept it? If he had not accepted it, he would have screamed at him that this was a bribe! He asked someone to take it down on the spot, but now he has not taken it.
He placed the blessing words on the urn, but did not give him a definite character. He just asked the blessing words on the urn to be put away, which is very thought-provoking...
Weng Fuyan didn't understand. After all, Jia Yucun had been the prefect for so many years. How could he not know the twists and turns involved? This old guy cherishes feathers and doesn't think it's too explicit to give them away like this!
So Jia Yucun smiled and took Liu Sansan's share, and calmly said to Wengfu: "Now that I think about it, Gang Leader Weng seems to have been wronged... right?"
Weng Fuyan quickly nodded and complained. When Liu Sansan saw that Jia Yucun accepted it, and knew that Jia Yucun accepted it on his behalf, he nodded and said, "Since Brother Yucun thinks so, then it should be like this."
Jia Yucun secretly scolded this old immortal for being so cautious! It has reached this point, everyone has been contaminated, and you still want to put the responsibility on me!
However, Jia Yucun has nothing to do with Liu Sansan, because after all, this is his territory. If he is greedy for credit, his trip to Jia Yucun today will be in vain!
People have to bow their heads under the eaves!
Jia Yucun nodded helplessly and smiled, agreeing with Liu Sansan's words. Liu Sansan nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Wengfu: "You have to tell me in detail, everything must be done in detail.
Make it clear, make it clear! Don't make any mistakes, you know?"
Weng Fuyan nodded repeatedly, and then talked about who sent these grains, where they were sent, who sent them, and what the recipients looked like... everything in detail.
Said.
Jia Yucun and Weng Fuyan were both shocked. They both realized the seriousness of the matter. They didn't expect Zhang Gong to be so bold! He actually stole and sold grain to the southern salt merchants in broad daylight under the emperor's nose.
Take action with your own hands! How audacious!
After asking Weng Fuyan to go back and not to leak the matter, Liu Sansan said to Jia Yucun: "Brother Yucun, this matter is of great importance. I will return home now and mobilize all the power of my Yushitai.
Report this matter to the palace urgently!"
Jia Yucun quickly handed over his hands and said: "It should be done, it should be! Sir, please get down to business first!" Liu Sansan nodded and said to Jia Yucun: "Don't worry about Yucun's contribution. You are responsible for finding out about this matter. I will deal with it as soon as possible."
Just mention it during the performance..."
Jia Yucun nodded quickly, feeling overjoyed in his heart, but with a smile on his face: "It's all thanks to your Excellency that I can expose and report this matter! Without Your Excellency, where would we be today? Your Excellency should be the first to contribute!"
Liu Sansan smiled and said: "The Sacred Heart has its own judgment. Yucun is so devoted to serving the country. After today, I am afraid he will also become famous!"
Jia Yucun hurriedly pretended to be humble. Liu Sansan smiled and hesitated for a moment, then said indifferently: "I just remembered some personal matters. It seems that I have some collections of antique calligraphy and paintings. I want to keep them here."
It’s stored on the dock. If I get busy with this matter, I’m afraid I won’t have time to take care of it..."
When Jia Yucun heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, his smile did not change, but his mind was spinning, what nonsense antique calligraphy and painting! Who would store these valuable things at the dock? This old bastard was clearly hurting himself by saying this!
Didn't he just receive two portions of money? What he meant was that his portion had to be replaced with antique calligraphy and paintings and sent to his home. This old man actually liked the idea of naughty bribery! And from what he meant, there seemed to be a few more.
It smells like a threat to me!
But Jia Yucun really doesn't care about the money. Just kidding, one of his advantages is that he is a foreign official. It is much easier to make money than a Beijing official! What's more, he is still the prefect of the prosperous Jinling City. What he lacks most is
money!
So he couldn't help but not care about the money. On the contrary, he was even thinking of sending a sum of money to Liu Sansan! As long as the matter was done properly! What was this money?
It's just that... you can't do an unknown good deed. You have to give the money away, and you have to let Liu Sansan know that this money is an extra gift from him! You have to think about it carefully!
Jia Yucun was thinking in his heart, but he said with a smile on his face: "You are busy with your business! Leave these things to me! I will take care of them for you!"
As expected, Liu Sansan showed an understanding smile and said, "That's so embarrassing...then it's settled like this?"
Jia Yucun smiled and nodded: "It's settled! You can rest assured that I will handle the matter for you. I will definitely help you handle it beautifully!"
After hearing this, Liu Sansan tugged his beard and left with satisfaction...
At this time, Emperor Yongxi didn't know that he was about to lose one of his generals. He was worried about the Queen Mother's affairs. He had coaxed the Queen Mother and said that he would let Xiao Qi out after the Emperor's great success. But now everything has settled.
Emperor Yongxi hasn't released Qi Qi yet, so the Queen Mother won't do it now!
He went on hunger strike every day, and said he wanted to be the emperor every day, which made the harem a mess! But Emperor Yongxi couldn't do anything to his mother!
If the old lady has been clamoring to see her younger son, wouldn't it be better for each other to take a step back? But the more the Queen Mother acted like this, the more it aroused Emperor Yongxi's rebellious heart!
What? Your little son is so embarrassed that he is going to rebel! Although he is stupid and does not pose any threat, in the final analysis, it is a serious crime of forcing a uterus. Such a big crime, just because he is stupid, is it easy to let him go? When did it become okay to be stupid?
Are you relieved of your bold and reckless capital?
Emperor Yongxi himself feels aggrieved! He is also a son. Why are you still talking to your youngest son when he has been forced into the palace? I am the victim! It is only because of my strength that they did not oust me from the throne. If they put
I have dethroned the throne, do you still want to praise Shi Qi for being so capable?
Therefore, Emperor Yongxi was stubborn with the old lady. There was no harm in letting that fool out, but Emperor Yongxi was unwilling to let him go! I am the supreme one in the world! I can do whatever I want!
After being stubborn with the Empress Dowager for a while and breaking up on bad terms, Emperor Yongxi returned to the Qianqing Palace and read the memorial as a routine before going to bed. However, he actually had no intention to continue reading and just found an excuse to be in a daze.
.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But when Emperor Yongxi was in a daze, Dai Quan walked in holding a box. Emperor Yongxi came to his senses upon seeing this, frowned slightly and said
: "Secret fold? Who did it?"
Dai Quan said softly: "Someone has sent me the urgent melodies through Liudao Yanke. Please have your Majesty take a look at it." Emperor Yongxi was stunned, nodded, and stretched out his hand to wave. Dai Quan hurriedly came forward with the box in hand, opened it and handed it over.
Gave it to Emperor Yongxi.
Emperor Yongxi opened the memorial and read the beginning: "Your Majesty, Liu Jian, the left deputy of the Censor's Office, is here to present this memorial!" He couldn't help but frowned slightly. He had an impression of this person. He seemed to be the one who knocked on the door last time...
………
However, Emperor Yongxi was not the kind of person who ruined business because of his personal likes and dislikes, so Emperor Yongxi still read on patiently. It was not until he saw what Liu Sansan reported that Emperor Yongxi shrank!
His hands were trembling slightly. Although he had guessed that such a day would come, he didn't expect to come back so quickly...
He knew that they would never let Zhang Gong go, but he didn't expect that they would be so impatient to sharpen their swords just after the Emperor's great success! And it was coming with such force that even Emperor Yongxi was a little frightened!
Don't even think about it. It must be against Zhang Gong! The layout is so precise, if it is not a trap against Zhang Gong, no one would believe it!
But Emperor Yongxi really couldn't favor Zhang Gong. The outcome of this situation was already doomed from the beginning when Zhang Gong personally left the field! And whether it was Emperor Yongxi or Shangguan Yi, the best they could do was to save
Own!
That's why Emperor Yongxi risked his life at the most dangerous time and went to the Imperial Hospital to meet Zhang Gong secretly. He knew that Zhang Gong suffered a lot and paid a lot for Xinzheng. But the more this happened, the less Emperor Yongxi could show anything.
, because otherwise, Zhang Gong’s sacrifice would have been in vain!
Emperor Yongxi looked at the memorial in his hand word by word. He saw a name that was mentioned all the time: "Jia Hua..."
Emperor Yongxi's brows twitched slightly. It was time to make a decision. If he couldn't make up his mind at this time, he would not be able to help but let down the efforts of so many people over the years, and even let down Zhang Gong's sacrifice!
So Emperor Yongxi gritted his teeth tightly, and after a long time he said in a hoarse voice: "Preach my will!" Dai Quan hurriedly lowered his head and said yes.
Emperor Yongxi said in a deep voice: "The Jin Yiwei of the Ministry of Punishment have been informed to take over this case! They have full authority to investigate Zhang Gong, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, for stealing and selling national grain and enriching his own pockets! Immediately send Zhang Gong to prison! Investigate first and then make a decision!"
Dai Quan was shocked, but he immediately nodded in agreement. Emperor Yongxi's move was really helpless. If he didn't take any action at this time, he would only be passive when a storm breaks out in the court tomorrow!
Thinking on your knees, since people have brought it to the surface and shown their sharpness, they will not let you suppress this matter in peace! So Emperor Yongxi knew in his heart that this matter would "accidentally" leak out soon.
, and then spread throughout Shenjing!
At that time, when all the civil and military officials in the dynasty paid attention to this matter and forced Emperor Yongxi to do it, he fell into a reverse trend. Instead of waiting until then, it was better to strike first!
At this time, taking the initiative to send Zhang Gong to prison will give him the upper hand and not let others lead him by the nose! It is also a disguised protection for Zhang Gong, although there is a high probability that going public will not change Zhang Gong's outcome.
, but at least it can allow Zhang Gong to live decently and comfortably in the last time of his life...
Emperor Yongxi felt sad because so many capable and loyal ministers had sacrificed so much for the great cause of the New Deal! Until now, even Zhang Qing could not protect himself and wanted to leave me! Although I am the emperor, I cannot be free! Even those around me
You can’t protect anyone! How can you be considered the Supreme Being?
The veins in Emperor Yongxi's hand that was pinched on the dragon chair popped out and made a creaking sound. He looked at the memorial in his hand, and after a long time he slowly said to Dai Quan: "Go and find out who this Jia Hua is!"
Dai Quan had served this master for half his life, so he didn't know the mood of Emperor Yongxi. Hearing this, he hurriedly lowered his head and said yes, and then slowly retreated.
In the empty hall, there was only the lonely figure of Emperor Yongxi holding the memorial with trembling hands. After a long time, Emperor Yongxi slowly threw the memorial in his hand into the brazier in front of him, and the bright yellow flames shone brightly.
Emperor Yongxi's face flickered between bright and dark...
