Wang Lidong looked at himself in the bronze mirror. He was wearing night clothes and his face was covered with a black cloth.
Unless you are someone close to you, you will definitely not be able to recognize who it is.
Then he found a long knife and put it on his waist.
very nice.
Open the door, tap the ground, and your whole body will jump into the air.
After more than a dozen ups and downs, he had arrived at the east gate of Rongcheng.
Wang Lidong didn't sleep well at home and went out in the middle of the night, mainly to visit some of his colleagues.
The person who is going now is his current boss, the Linjiang County Magistrate.
There was a lot of balance in the Linjiang County government's money and grain account book, but both the physical items and the money were gone.
As a result, if money is needed in the yamen now, Wang Lidong has to pay for it.
It's really nice to want to wipe their butts yourself.
Before I go back to Beitai Island, let's find a few people to settle the accounts.
Wang Lidong of Rongcheng was very familiar with him, so he found the address Li Dagen reported to him without much effort.
After entering, first click on everyone's sleeping hole.
Then he slowly entered the room where the magistrate was.
He came here just now and found that his boss was having a lot of fun, and both of them were flying.
"Paji,"
In his sleep, Cai Qiming felt a pain all over his body. When he was about to open his mouth to call someone, he found himself lying on the ground.
But there was a stranger standing in front of him. His whole body was flashing black, and he was holding a bright big knife in his hand.
In this scene, how could he still not understand what was happening, so he honestly shut his mouth tightly.
He is a smart man and knows that if he yells and screams at this time, there is a high probability that he will be killed on the spot.
Wang Lidong pressed his tongue against the roof of his mouth, and then his voice changed dramatically.
"It's just a matter of recognition. The uncle just wants to make money. As long as you obey him, your little destined uncle has no interest."
Cai Qiming felt relieved, as long as he could save his life.
As for money, they are all external things, and they are the most filthy. If you give them up, just give them up.
Next, Wang Lidong followed Cai Qiming's instructions and plundered all his family's banknotes and gold.
As for the money, it takes up too much space. I have to go to other places later, so I can only give this guy a discount.
I roughly counted my harvest just now, and found that it only added up to more than 30,000 taels.
This number is really a bit small, there must be more.
"Why is it so small? As the saying goes, if you clear the prefecture in three years, it will cost you one hundred thousand snowflakes.
I know you are just a small county magistrate, but thirty thousand taels, how about sending it to a beggar?"
After saying that, Wang Lidong thrust the knife across the opponent's neck.
Cai Qiming felt a chill on his neck, and his sphincter was so frightened that it failed.
Wang Lidong actually just wanted to scare him, but he didn't expect his boss to be so timid and fainted.
Then he smelled the smell of urine.
I took a look at Cai Qiming's lower body, and fuck, I even peed.
This kind of person can also be admitted as a Jinshi, what about the integrity of a scholar?
Wang Lidong picked up the teapot on the table and poured all the tea on Cai Qiming's face.
Before he could speak, Cai Qiming tremblingly explained:
"The bookcase in the study... at the bottom... a few from the left... after pushing it open... there is a small secret cabinet."
Five minutes later, Wang Lidong rushed to the chief bookkeeper's house with a big bag on his back and his boss in his hand.
MD, who has only been a county magistrate for more than two years, has a fortune of 130,000 taels of silver.
If you add in the money spent on being filial to your boss in the past two years and the money you spent recently on running an official position, it would be at least two hundred thousand taels of silver.
This guy is really ruthless. When I go back this time, I have to check carefully to see where he got so much money.
Wang Lidong was glad that he came at the right time today.
I just accidentally heard this guy mention that in a few days, he will go to Jiangbei to take up a post, and he has been promoted to a higher level and has become the general judge of Jizhao Mansion.
After a while, Wang Lidong arrived at the house of the bookkeeper of Linjiang County. The bookkeeper was also a coward, but he just used a small trick to explain honestly.
When Wang Lidong came out of the bookkeeper's house, the baggage on his shoulders had grown two rounds larger.
Unexpectedly, the chief bookkeeper's net worth was not much worse than that of the county magistrate, a full eighty thousand taels of silver.
Carrying one person in each hand, Wang Lidong arrived at the home of the prefect of Rongcheng.
As for the former county magistrate of Linjiang County, he went to Jiangnan Province to take office a while ago, and he moved away really fast.
Still the same old routine.
If not for being able to become a magistrate, this man is more knowledgeable about current affairs than the other two. As soon as he saw Wang Lidong, he knelt down.
When he came out of the prefect's house, there was another big package on his shoulders.
Thanks to the efforts of the prefect, he contributed 260,000 taels at once.
As for why we came to the magistrate's house.
On the one hand, this guy has been in Rongcheng for many years. Apart from being a little more restrained when he first took office, he has become more and more unscrupulous as he goes on, daring to ask for any money.
The most hateful thing is that this bastard has stolen a lot of money from his family in recent years, roughly more than 20,000 taels.
But apart from the financial aspect, I haven't heard of any bad deeds in other aspects.
In the Ming Dynasty, most officials were like this.
If he can do a few more things, he will be called a good official by the people.
Song Zhiqing was a clerk in the Li's Office, one of the six subordinate offices of the prefect's Yamen.
In fact, he is just a handyman with no class.
"Brother Wang, what did you hear?"
Seeing Song Zhiqing's confused look, Wang Tianzhi, who was also the clerk, turned his head, then leaned forward and whispered:
"Early this morning, a shocking news came from the prefect's inner house."
Song Zhiqing was not very interested, because Wang Tianzhi was a talkative person.
What we talk about all day long is big news, but in fact it is all trivial matters.
"Brother Song, I guarantee that you will be shocked after hearing the news I told you today."
"I'm all ears brother."
"I heard that our Magistrate Zhu slept in the same bed as Magistrate Cai of Linjiang County last night."
Song Zhiqing took a breath of cold air and said with an expression of disbelief:
"Really? Where did Brother Wang hear the news?"
Wang Tianzhi hurriedly shook his head and said:
“My little brother has promised not to reveal the source of the news to a third party.
But the news came from the prefect’s inner chamber, so..."
Song Zhiqing slapped the table and said:
"This Linjiang County Magistrate is really shameless. He really does everything for his official position and has disgraced us scholars."
"Brother Song, I'm not done yet."
"besides?"
"I heard that the chief registrar of Linjiang County is also with them."
Song Zhiqing said in disbelief:
"Brother Wang, don't talk nonsense about this."
"How dare I say nonsense? If you don't believe it, you can ask around. Now it has spread throughout the government."
If there were only two people, the most they would get was a few words, because in the Ming Dynasty, this kind of thing was normal in the circle of scholar-bureaucrats.
Of course, it's usually officials and the bookboys or actors around them.
There are few officials and officials, after all, everyone is a person of status.
But today, not only are there officials, but there are three of them together, which is too immoral.
Such breaking news spread throughout Rongcheng in less than a morning.
This speed was so fast that Wang Lidong didn't even expect it.
He actually did this just to make the three of them sick.
I didn't expect that this matter would actually come out. It seems that there must be a lot of people staring at the prefect.
