Chapter 668: The next step is to get rich overnight!
"General Hou's guild is completely over..."
At the door of Ye's house, Wu Juhou and Zhao Tingzhi stood face to face.
Between the two people, there were officials who were still coming in and out, busy arresting people.
Surrounding the two people were torches, and the flickering flames illuminated the outlines of their faces in flickering light.
The warmth of the fire could not dispel the chill.
The key is not the body, but the mind.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Tingzhi spoke first: "This chamber of commerce has done many evil things. Ye Jichang and Pan should be punished by law, but the Imperial City Department should not investigate and deal with it."
Wu Juhou sighed: "What's the use of talking about this now? Gao Qiu was originally a jester with no qualifications. After this, he became capable and his position was really stable. It would cost a lot of money for the Yushitai to impeach him.
Zhou Zhang!"
Zhao Ting said: "Gao Qiu, this person was born in the market and has not been taught by sages. Since he took office as the Imperial City Secretary, he has been harsh on the common people and corrupt and perverted the law. Recently, he has changed his normal behavior. This time, he does not seek wealth. He is obviously a traitor and a loyal person."
, harboring evil intentions.”
Wu Juhou sneered: "If every official is as demanding as tonight, wouldn't it be the integrity that the imperial censor hopes for? Zhao Zhongcheng's comments are full of speculations, and they are untenable!"
Zhao Tingzhi shook his head: "When it comes to people, you should look at their hearts. How many courtiers in the Manchu Dynasty don't know about their high-spirited behavior? It is this sycophant who can always suppress the evil thoughts in his heart, pretend to be kind, and is good at slandering.
The Imperial City Secretary must not take power."
"good!"
Although Wu Juhou hated Zhao Tingzhi, he still greatly agreed with this concept.
According to the Song Dynasty's complex, bloated and overstaffed bureaucracy, any official's actions must be restricted at all levels. However, the Imperial City Department is a special agency directly under the official family. If they work well, it will be really convenient and easy to achieve results.
Just imagine that if the Imperial City Secretary performs meritorious service one after another, the criminal powers of the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and Kaifeng Prefecture, which were originally divided into fragments, will be divided again, and the function of the Yushitai to supervise hundreds of officials will also be greatly divided.
The division is thin.
Therefore, not to mention that Gao Qiu is not a kind person, even if he is a loyal minister who has read the books of sages, he cannot be allowed to destroy the existing power structure and trigger more intense conflicts.
Seeing that Wu Juhou's hostility had subsided, Zhao Tingzhi immediately said: "In my opinion, Gao Qiu probably got this list a long time ago and kept it secret until we came here to expose it in public."
Wu Juhou also believed this: "Such actions will not only damage our face, but also turn the subsequent impeachment into personal hatred and jealousy, with cunning intentions."
Zhao Ting said: "Mr. Dun, this matter is of great importance, and we must work together."
Dun Lao was Wu Juhou's name. This long-lost name made the Kaifeng magistrate's brows slightly touched. He and Zhao Tingzhi were both members of the New Party and had fought side by side to change the world.
No matter how they compete for the position of prime minister, it is an internal conflict among the scholar-bureaucrats. Once a warrior appears, they should unanimously say to the outside world: "Even if you don't say that, I also know where the righteousness lies. Look at that man..."
Zhao Tingzhi followed his gaze and asked, "Ding Run, the judge of Kaifeng Prefecture?"
Wu Juhou said calmly: "This Ding Run was originally from the Imperial City Company. Now he has hit it off with Gao Qiu. He is his right-hand man. He has helped him a lot. Cutting off this arm will be able to curb the rise of the Imperial City Company."
Zhao Ting said: "Can evidence of guilt be revealed?"
Wu Juhou said: "This person is greedy, perverts the law, and has many misdeeds. With the power of Yushitai, he should be able to get rid of him."
Zhao Tingzhi fell silent.
Wu Juhou knew that the other party saw that he was killing people with a borrowed knife, and began to add fuel to the fire: "This person is also from the same sect as Gongsun Zhao. Gongsun Zhao forced Ren Gong to vomit blood and died, and his descendants were beaten to death by the people to correct his name. This shows that in the hearts of the world,
He only cares about small profits and does not distinguish between good and loyal. Now he has the reputation of Qingtian, but he is no better than Gongsun Zhao..."
Zhao Tingzhi's brows twitched.
Indeed, Gao Qiu and Gongsun Zhao are very different.
Gao Qiu is a former official of the official family. He can be promoted to the imperial city department without any qualifications. Just because of the trust of the official family, he is now out of control.
Gongsun Zhao has been a judge for eight years and no one likes him. Even Empress Dowager Xiang, who had supported him, showed obvious disgust.
Therefore, Gongsun Yanluo appeared briefly and was on the wanted list, but Gao Qingtian may have continued to disguise himself and become a traitor.
Zhao Tingzhi stared deeply at Ding Run, then withdrew his gaze, and raised his hands to Wu Juhou: "It is my duty as censor to correct evil officials and correct discipline! Farewell!"
Wu Juhou returned the gift: "Send it to Zhao Zhongcheng!"
Zhao Tingzhi turned around and got on the carriage first. Wu Juhou waited for a while before getting on the carriage and ordered his servants to ride away.
After watching them leave, two figures, one large and one small, came out.
Li Yan thought about the work ability of Wu Juhou and Zhao Tingzhi and sighed: "It's not surprising that traitorous ministers do bad things. It's the tragedy of the world that capable ministers spend all their time just like a coward, plotting and fighting!"
The master poked his head out from behind him: "Official officer, do they really want to embarrass Judge Ding? Why did the officer who left behind say that more and more threads, especially a thick one, became better?"
It’s so red…”
Li Yan said: "I can't see the threads in your eyes, but to put it simply, you don't distinguish between right and wrong and are seeking your own death."
"To put it more complicatedly, the problem is not just these two people, but the extremely imbalanced civil and military environment, which makes the scholar-officials who are accustomed to superiority instinctively question and reject other groups."
"Once they determine a person's character, it's not the same, because this group of people controls huge social resources, and also controls the pen, and they take over all material and spiritual matters. This is an extremely terrible monopoly. Other groups can only hope that there will be
Moral scholar-officials can speak out for themselves."
Shishi didn't understand it, but he wrote it down, and then murmured: "But Gao Tidian and Judge Ding are good people, they catch the bad guys!"
Li Yan sighed: "It's a pity that many people don't even understand this simplest truth, or don't want to understand... That's all, don't talk about these things and come with me to make a fortune, okay?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Looking at this rare excited expression, Shishi also started to look forward to it: "Okay, okay!"
Li Yan raised the corner of his mouth, gave detailed instructions, and finally concluded: "Next, it's time to witness your sudden fortune!"
"Gene Era"
…
"Well!"
The young master woke up suddenly and breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at the thin wire connected to the iron door on his little finger, which was still glowing with fluorescence.
This proves that not only has no one come in, but no one has even come near the iron gate.
He was really tired just now. After finishing this small arrangement, he returned to the edge of the formation, leaned his head against the statue of King Ming, and fell asleep.
I don’t know how long I have slept for, and what time it is now. The key is when Zhang Qing and Xu Ning will come back...
The young master knew that these two people still had some feelings for him. After all, the family had not made any money, so it was hard to give up. But if they wanted to wash away the guilt of escaping from prison, it was not the level of injustice they had done before. They were really contemptuous of the court's laws, so they had no choice but to come to him.
.
Therefore, he is not worried that Zhang Qing and Xu Ning will defect to others, but is worried about failure.
Unfortunately, there is no point worrying now, all we can do is wait.
Time began to pass slowly.
At first, the young master's family still had time to care about the treasures around them and estimate their value. They soon realized that the total price of the treasures in this vault was probably more than six million. Of course, it couldn't be much more. After all, it was already a treasure.
A staggering amount of wealth.
Then he lost interest in the treasure and wanted to find something else to do to pass the time.
However, this place is not like the Imperial City Prison. Not only does the space become cramped and depressing due to the accumulation of treasures, but there are also no guards to please, prisoners coming and going, brothers who are generous, and even the little cook who is far less lovable than his brothers.
nothing.
He is the only one here.
"It's so hard! It's so hard!"
"Send me some food quickly... and a toilet..."
"How wonderful it would be if my incarnation was not killed by Zuo Ming!"
…
I don't know how long it took, maybe just an hour or two, but the young master couldn't sit still anymore, got up and walked around, his face ugly.
He had realized that he had escaped from one prison and slipped into another.
The key is that it is too difficult here. He originally thought that it would not be a problem to be locked up in the Imperial City for more than ten days and wait for a few days in the treasury. But now he may not even arrive for half a day, just like an ant on a hot pot, wandering around.
The statue of King Ming began to move around, but he didn't dare to leave the area, and just turned around in circles.
Finally, the young master stopped.
If nothing else, I'm hungry.
In the cell of the Imperial City Division, he had a take-out food box provided by Fan Lou. At first, the smell of the cell was too strong, and he lost his appetite after eating for a few times. Later, he got used to the smell.
But now there is no food in this vault cell. But for the meal closest to him, because the pastry was poisoned, he asked the chef to take away the food box. So many things happened later.
Serious consumption will naturally lead to exhaustion and hunger.
Fatigue can be eliminated through sleep, but hunger makes your stomach growl.
"damn it,
Not to mention spending a while here, if Zhang Qing and Xu Ning don’t come back, I’m afraid I won’t be able to survive for two or three days, and will I just go out in such a gray state?”
"No, it's a dead end if you go out. Just activate the formation. No one can get this huge wealth..."
"But I am not willing to die in this unknown place, I really am not willing to do so! Zhang Qing, Xu Ning, you must come back safely! King Ming bless you... no, Buddha bless you!"
A distinguished bishop put his hands together and prayed to the Buddha for blessing. This shows what he was forced into.
After praying to the gods and Buddhas, the young master, who was extremely bored, leaned on the statue of King Ming and fell asleep again in a daze.
This time, he was awakened from his sleep by the trembling of fine threads.
Seeing the fluctuation that represented the presence of someone, the young master's family was ecstatic at first, and then became extremely vigilant, with determination in their eyes.
If the visitors were Zhang Qing and Xu Ning, then it goes without saying that his plan would be successful nine out of ten times.
If Ye Jichang and Pan arrive, Zhang Qing and Xu Ning may be in trouble. As long as the opponent exceeds the warning line, he will activate the Flame Destruction Formation without hesitation.
During the unbearable wait, the visitor arrived in front of the iron door, gently pushed open a gap, and poked his little head halfway in, took a glance, and then quickly retracted.
