With a "Puff", Jia Liu choked on the sip of tea he had just swallowed in his throat, and choked with tears. He didn't dare to wipe his eyes, and fell to his knees with a "plop". Without saying anything, he gave Fullerhun a blow first.
.
He raises his head and shouts injustice: "Unjust, wronged! My lord, I know it clearly. I am from Zhenghongqi Manchuria. I am an authentic nationality. How can I collaborate with the enemy? Someone must be taking revenge for personal gain and falsely accusing me. Your Excellency must not be fooled..."
You can't admit it even to death!
Collaborating with the enemy is treason and will result in beheading.
"Is it?"
The Governor likes people to be sharp-tongued.
Putting down the tea bowl, still smiling, he walked behind the desk and took out a secret report from the "drawer" and handed it to Jia Liu, cordially signaling to Jia Jiashikai to read it before talking.
"This is?"
Jia Liu suppressed his trembling heart, pretended to be calm and opened the secret report, scanned two lines, and felt a great shock in his heart.
This secret report revealed that he secretly sold artillery to bandits. It was clear when, where and how many guns were sold.
It’s really hard to argue with anyone, and it’s hard to say anything.
Suddenly, the idea of shooting the old rich man to death and then burning the secret report came to his mind.
But, I dare not move.
Outside the big tent, there were countless guards with swords.
Even if he had time to destroy the evidence, how could he get rid of the felony of murdering the governor!
"My consort, you still dare to say that you are wronged?"
Fulehun was still smiling, looking at the dumbfounded Emperor Ba Tulu with great interest, and he was really interested in the double-eyed flower feather on his head.
Jia Liu didn't dare to say anything, he admitted defeat.
I was thinking in my mind which link went wrong. It was absolutely impossible on my side, and the link where the accident should have happened was over there.
Undercover, anti-undercover?
Double agent?
The Qing Dynasty was like a sieve, but the rebels were like a piece of iron?
The more I think about it, the more irritated I become. Damn it, why is it so difficult for me to sell my country?
Isn’t it very satisfying for the old man to be a traitor? He doesn’t know how to bless his eldest grandson.
"These days, if a person doesn't want much, he will definitely get not too little. On the contrary, if a person wants too much, then he will definitely get very little."
Fulehun put away his smile, picked up the snuff bottle, took a sip, and said calmly: "My consort has only been here for half a year. I'm afraid I don't know how deep the water is in Jinchuan, and someone can drown if he doesn't pay attention."
After saying that, he stood up and helped the frightened Jia Jiashikai up, patted his shoulder, smiled, and said harmoniously: "My brother-in-law, you don't have to be so nervous. Collaborating with the enemy is not treason. You shouldn't be so sincere and fearful. Even if
It doesn't matter if you sell your country occasionally. Being an official thousands of miles away is just for money. If you can't live with anything, don't live with money."
"..."
Jia Liu felt that these words were very familiar, and he couldn't remember anyone who said it shamelessly.
At the same time, he felt relieved. The Governor believed that he was selling cannons for money, which was much lighter than that of capitalizing on enemies.
"Sit, sit."
The Governor motioned for Jia Liu to sit down and talk.
Jia Liu didn't dare to sit down, so the Governor left him alone.
"In the twelfth year of Qianlong's reign, he again sent troops to Jinchuan. It lasted for twenty-seven years. There were countless governors and ministers, hundreds of thousands of troops and horses, and hundreds of millions of money and grain. Why couldn't we attack it repeatedly? It was just that everyone at the top and bottom wanted to get a share.
fiscal.
I can understand my brother-in-law's desire for wealth.
But some wealthy consorts couldn't get their hands on it, so they talked about this cannon without talking about other things. They sold five thousand taels apiece, but the prince's son-in-law only sold three thousand taels apiece. This cut off the family's financial path.
The so-called person who destroys a person's financial path is like killing his parents..."
At this point, Governor Fu glanced at Jia Liu and said, "Can your consort understand what I'm saying?"
"understand!"
Jia Liu nodded repeatedly and secretly vowed never to steal other people's business again, so as not to get into trouble.
"It would be great if my consort can understand."
The governor actually took out a fire excerpt and burned the secret report exposing Jia Liu's collaboration with the enemy.
Jia Liu was so moved that he wanted to kowtow to the rich man again, but he refused and instead let out a sigh.
"It is already a lot of hard work to be able to stand up to the current of the secular world. Moreover, in this officialdom where the waves are turbulent, many people want to stand out when they step into this officialdom and do great things for the court and the people, but in the end they realize that...
Such a wish is more difficult than reaching heaven. Do you know why?"
"Please show me, sir!"
"Because the imperial court is full of corrupt officials, and it will be difficult to move forward if you don't join them. Let's talk about Jinchuan. Who is the corrupt official and who is the honest official?"
Fulehun chuckled and said, "What the emperor knows is corrupt officials, but what the emperor doesn't know is honest officials."
Makes sense.
Jia Liu agreed.
Fulehun was obviously hinting at collaborating with the enemy and selling artillery. As long as he, the governor, did not say anything, the emperor would not know about it, and Jia Jiashikai was a very loyal and capable minister.
"Who is a good person, who is a bad person, who is a loyal minister, and who is a traitor is just a person's words and cannot be taken seriously."
Fulehun changed the topic, "The emperor must also know this truth, so he gave the emperor the right to secretly report. He wants to know from the emperor who is a good person and who is a bad person in our group."
"No, no."
Jia Liuben shook his head.
"No? Hey, my dear, you are so stubborn again."
Fulhun liked to convince people with evidence, so he went to the drawer and took out a letter for Jia Liu to read.
When Jia Liu opened it and read it, he was speechless. The letter clearly stated that the emperor had granted Jia Jiashi the right to report secretly, and to conduct an exclusive interview on the former Jinchuan Army's civil and military officials who were corrupt, corrupt and colluded with the enemy. It was even clear when Jia Liu was interviewed and who was present.
.
The signature is a person named Chongtang.
Jia Liu racked his brains but could not imagine that Qianlong had such a person.
"Do you know who Chongtang is?"
"I don't know, my subordinate."
"Chief Military Minister Yu Minzhong."
Fulehun actually didn't hide it at all, "Master Yu is a close friend of mine, and he has received more than three hundred thousand taels from me."
After saying that, he actually went to the drawer and took out a list for Jia Liu to read.
Good guy, you won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.
Governor Le Erjin of Shaanxi and Gansu, Governor Li Shiyao of Guangdong and Guangxi, Governor Chen Huizu of Huguang, Governor Yade of Fujian and Zhejiang, Governor Yang Jingsu of Zhili...
Min Eyuan, the governor of Anhui, Hao Shuo, the governor of Jiangxi, Funing, the governor of Hubei, Cathay, the governor of Shandong, Sanbao, the governor of Zhejiang, Pu Lin, the governor of Fujian, Bi Yuan, the governor of Shaanxi...
From the governor-general to the governor to the chief envoy, five of the nine major frontiers of the Qing Dynasty are on the list, the governors of half of the provinces are on the list, and the chief envoys of most of the provinces are also on the list.
"This is?"
Jia Liu was really surprised. He really didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Fulehun's gourd.
What does the governor on this list mean?
"These are like-minded people I have made friends with over the decades I have been an official. Many years ago, we people supported each other and helped each other, so it is also called the Mutual Aid Association. My husband, would you like to join the association?"
The Governor-General still has the same smiling face.
