Chapter five hundred and fiftieth eight do not bother you to worry about
It is said that after Prince Wang Jing was forced to leave Suzhou, he was depressed but not completely discouraged. He quickly regained his strength and started plundering elsewhere. By this time, he had accumulated approximately three hundred thousand taels worth of goods.
Although there is a certain gap between the goal of 500,000 taels, Wang Gonggong really tried his best, and no one else would be able to achieve more than this.
The main reason for the gap between him and his target was that he was driven out of Suzhou Prefecture and lost his largest source of origin. Secondly, because of what happened to Suzhou Prefecture, his prestige as an imperial eunuch was greatly reduced, and he encountered much greater resistance elsewhere.
Seeing that the end of the year is approaching, we must rush on the road and strive to return to the capital to give gifts during the New Year. When Long Yan is happy, it will be Fang Yingwu's unlucky day. If we continue with a few slanders, no matter how great Fang Yingwu's achievements in Jiangnan are, it will all be in vain!
Wang Jing did not intend to pass through Suzhou City, but went around the city. As the saying goes, a good man never suffers immediate losses.
If it weren't for the fact that Suzhou Prefecture was on the road that the canal must pass through, he wouldn't even want to enter Suzhou Prefecture. The main reason was that there was a person in Suzhou City who made him helpless.
As the saying goes, those who are arrogant are afraid of being stunned, and those who are stunned are afraid of losing their lives. What scares eunuchs like Wang Jing the most are ministers who want to dismount people even if they are cut off.
Although Fang Yingwu is not such a person by nature, he has such potential. There is no guarantee that he will not suddenly suffer from convulsions (according to past experience, the probability of convulsions is not small), so it is better to be cautious.
It is impossible to pass through Suzhou Prefecture in one day in a hurry, not to mention that the prince's team still has a lot of "trophies" and must stay in Suzhou Prefecture for one night - of course, if possible, the prince would like to cross Suzhou Prefecture in one step.
The mansion was blocked by a bunch of people complaining. Commissioner Fang Qin was a little confused. This period of time was going so smoothly. He almost forgot about Wang Jing. If not for the large number of people who complained about their grievances, he almost let Wang Jing go.
After sending someone to inquire about the whereabouts of Wang Jing and his party, Fang Yingwu happily ate two more bowls of rice as if he had seen prey.
Originally, he planned to leave the north and return to Beijing as soon as possible, but since Wang Jing has been brought to his lips, he will stay for an extra month or two and use Wang Jing to bring an end to his imperial career. He has made great achievements and gained some reputation, which can be called
What a perfect ending!
Immediately, Fang Qin sent an order for the officers and soldiers to assemble, and the next day he personally led the team to set out early in the morning to chase Wang Jing.
The prince's team was a bit large and there were many boxes and luggage, so he walked slowly. When he arrived at the Xushuguan Canal Pier, he urged Guan Yin to arrange a large number of ships. It would take some time.
"Dad, look..." Wang Chen suddenly pointed to the road in the distance and exclaimed.
Wang Jing moved his eyes away from the cargo loading and looked into the distance, only to see dozens of officers and soldiers surrounding a young official appearing in his field of vision.
Wang Jing suddenly had an ominous premonition. Although he mobilized more than two hundred soldiers from the guard station to protect the gold and silver treasures, he could not be brave at this time.
The experience of blood and tears three months ago made him know that these officers and soldiers might be able to stop the thieves. But in front of the king's command flag, they were completely unreliable.
Wang Jing couldn't help but frown and asked to himself: "What is he here for? What can he do?"
Wang Chen shrank his neck and did not dare to answer. Regarding Fang Yingwu's questions, he did not express any opinions at all. He would do whatever his godfather said to avoid having to complain in the end!
Fang Yingwu walked up to Wang Jing. He smiled brightly and said, "I haven't seen you for several months. How are you, Mr. Wang? How come you come and go so quickly?"
Wang Jing replied expressionlessly: "The water in the north has begun to freeze. We must seize the time to go north and try to cover as much water distance as possible so as not to delay in Suzhou."
Fang Yingwu warmly invited him: "It's freezing cold and it's not easy to go out. Why do you have to work so hard! The Gusu Posthouse has been cleaned. How about spending the winter here and waiting for the coming spring?"
What does this mean? Do you want to be placed under house arrest? Wang Jing refused: "Thank you, Mr. Fang, for your kindness, but to serve your Majesty, even if the road is difficult and dangerous, how dare you spare your life?"
"No, no, Eunuch-in-law should go and stay in Gusu Yi. Don't let me down my hospitality!" Fang Yingwu seemed to be confident and ordered to the people around him: "Come here! Send Eunuch-in-law to the sedan chair. Don't wait any longer!"
Wang Jing was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. Look at this arrogant energy. Who is the tyrannical servant of the emperor?
Under normal circumstances, shouldn't the eunuch be unreasonable and the minister be helpless? Why is it completely reversed now?
If this matter is reported back to the capital, he, Wang Jing, will simply become a disgrace to eunuchs. I have never seen such a disgraceful imperial eunuch! If he can't even compare to a civil servant in terms of arrogance, why should he be a eunuch?
The strong wind knows the strength of the grass, and the rigidity shows loyalty. At this time, only Wang Chen stood up and shouted with a fierce look: "Who dares to touch my godfather!"
As for the other eunuchs and eunuchs of the imperial envoy, most of them had a chance to survive from the sword of the imperial envoy Fang, but now they are too frightened to step forward. The sergeants sent by Wang Jing to protect the property will only remain neutral when the situation is unclear.
Flag officer Chen Baihu rushed forward and knocked down Wang Chen with the back of his sword. Fang Yingshi rushed forward with a single stride, held Wang Jing down, and said in a deep voice: "I will send the prince to the sedan chair!"
Wang Jing's head was about to explode. He was going crazy! Whatever he thought of, good things didn't work and bad things didn't work. This Fang Yingwu really had a seizure!
Even the most fearless minister would not do anything like this! He dared to put the eunuch under house arrest...it's a shame he could think of it!
Fang Yingwu glanced at it a few times and said calmly to the eunuch: "Gusu Posthouse doesn't have that many rooms. What can we do?"
The gang of scoundrels who only knew how to seek profit and avoid harm suddenly dispersed like birds and beasts. What good could be gained from those who could follow the eunuchs to plunder people's wealth? If they were expected to die for the prince, forget it.
Wang Jing said angrily: "Fang Yingwu! What good will this do to you? There is absolutely no reason for you to do this!"
Fang Yingwu sneered a few times and replied in a low voice: "If I don't strike first, will I have to wait for you to return to the capital to slander me? I'm not that stupid."
Wang Jing shouted angrily: "I am an imperial eunuch who was ordered to purchase, there is no benefit for you to strike first like this!"
Fang Yingwu did not continue to answer, but waved to the officers and soldiers under the banner, signaling their return. At the same time, the officers and soldiers from other places who were escorting the property saw that the situation had been decided, so they obeyed Fang Yingwu and followed the order to carry out the gold and silver treasures.
The boxes and cages are shipped to Suzhou Prefecture.
Seeing that his hard work was "robbed" again, Wang Jing seemed to have turned into a talkative woman, nagging and earnest, and kept talking to the other party.
"Fang Yingwu deliberately catered to public opinion, but did he ever think about the consequences? It should be noted that your black hat is not determined by public opinion! You dare to imprison an imperial eunuch without authorization, how do you explain it to the emperor? Your Majesty will never sit idly by and ignore it!
What will you do with the property if it falls into your hands? Do you dare to return it? You cannot afford the wrath of the Nine Heavens Thunder!
Do you still dare to dedicate your wealth to the emperor? Everything you do is wrong, have you ever thought about it carefully?"
Fang Yingwu raised his eyelids and said nonchalantly: "My lord, take a breath, I won't worry about you anymore."
PS: I took on a big project a few days ago. It is a very rare opportunity in life. If you miss it, you may regret it for the rest of your life. Therefore, I concentrated on it for two or three days and delayed the update. I will update it from today.
