Chapter 314: Detaining the prefect
When the imperial envoy Fang looked at the prefect with expectations, everyone had a desire to cry.
What the hell is this imperial envoy? He is obviously a great second child. Is there anyone who is as openly robbed as you?
Looking at each other, everyone's hearts were dripping with blood, but they had to smile on their faces and said, "Also, cough, there's still
A magistrate clapped his hands outside, and a group of white and beautiful maids entered one after another. They were holding a delicate small box made of mahogany in their hands. The maids walked into the warehouse and lined up in front of Fang Zheng. They opened the small box in their hands, but saw the room full of dazzling brilliance and dazzling eyes. The box originally contained Dongzhu, coral, and a bunch of rare beads that were so small that they could not name them.
.
Fang Zheng rubbed his eyes and tried hard to adapt to the dazzling light emitted by these rare treasures. After looking closely, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. His handsome face looked ecstatic, and his eyes stared at the jewelry without blinking, making a moan of satisfaction.
"If life is like this, it will be worthwhile to be an official." Fang Zheng was breathless. How long has it been, how long has it been since I had seen such a heart-wrenching treasure? These prefects are really tactful. Oh, I can't bear to deal with them,
"That's that's it. Lord," the prefects were happy when they saw Fang Zheng. They couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.
After strolling forward, Fang Zheng stretched out his hand, pulled up a maid's hand, and said affectionately: "How old are you? Oh, your skin is so white and very delicate, haha. I will follow me in the future and drink spicy food."
Everyone was stunned. Then they were shocked and said in unison: "Sir, you're wrong. The maid didn't give it to you.
"Yes, yes. The big business and the little men showed mercy. The maid was borrowed from the Suzhou family."
"No, I want them." Look. How beautiful they are,"
"Sir, they are all temporarily seconded to highlight the luxury of jewelry," the prefectures said in a lingering manner.
"Sir, it's not wise to buy skills and get a bead.
"No, I like these girls. I don't want jewelry anymore, I want them." Lord Fang seemed very stubborn.
”
”
The time of a dispute over the incense stick. The imperial envoy Fang had to give up these beautiful girls in disappointment
The maids put down their jewelry boxes and ran out of the warehouse like running away.
Fang Zheng looked at their backs reluctantly and murmured: "Chuoyou, very Chuoyou
The magistrates wiped the sweat from their foreheads, forced a smile, nodded and laughed, and felt extremely bitter.
Turning his head and looking at these corrupt officials, Fang Zheng didn't like him. He glanced at them in anger and snorted: "There is a golden house in the book. This is right. There is another sentence. There is Yan Ruyu in the book. Have you never heard of it? Where is Yan Ruyu?"
"Ah?" Everyone was stunned.
Look, why do all the fifth-rank prefects in the court have such virtues?
Fang Zheng frowned in dissatisfaction: "Don't Yan Ruyu? You have to add some more to the golden house.
Everyone was shocked and shook their heads in unison, and their old face was twisted like bitter gourd: "It's gone, sir, really gone. To honor sir, we have really taken out the family's foundation,"
"Oh, that's wrong with you. You have to be a good person, and so is an official. You are too unresponsible, which makes me embarrassed.
The magistrates were still laughing. They laughed even worse than crying. This imperial envoy was not just asking for bribes. He was simply trying to confiscate our home. His appetite was simply a bottomless pit, and he couldn't fill up any amount of money. He was also a corrupt official. This imperial envoy was obviously much better than ours."
Fang Zheng stared at these prefects with dissatisfaction. He really couldn't figure it out. Why did the people who were about to be thrown into prison and were about to be confiscated? Why did they still hold this little money and reluctant to let go? Of course, maybe they didn't know the fate they were about to face now.
But they will find out soon. "Are you sure you have no money?" Fang Zheng blinked at them and smiled kindly.
The prefects shook their heads quickly and looked quite embarrassed. Since ancient times, the rules in the officialdom have been very implicit and obscure. They are even more vague about the specific number, and they all depend on whether they understand the rules themselves. How much money should be paid for when doing things is done? There is an unwritten setting. If you do things according to the rules, no one will say anything about you, and both sides will be happy.
But the imperial envoy seemed to have no idea of the so-called official rules at all. He looked like he was robbed at the beginning. Not only did he know how to ask for it, but he was also greedy. Fang Zheng's performance certainly made them happy. The more greedy the imperial envoy, the more they said they were fine, but they felt that the appetite of the imperial envoy was a little overwhelmed. They were all worried about the money they had made. They lived a trembling life every day, but the other envoy opened their mouths and gave away their savings for many years. They were not satisfied and felt that it was not enough.
What kind of world is this? Could it be that the rules of the officialdom in the capital have changed now? Everyone is accustomed to going out and talking clearly, asking for bribes is like buying vegetables in the vegetable market, and bargaining?
Seeing that the prefects were shaking their heads like rattles, Fang Zheng knew that these people were probably exhausted by him, so he smiled coldly, suddenly turned his face and said, "Since you have no money, I don't have to act with you anymore. I have never wanted to do anything unpaid."
Under the shocked eyes of the prefects, Fang Zheng shouted loudly: "Catch all the people coming, and throw the soap!"
Everyone was confused. Then they quickly understood Fang Zheng's meaning and couldn't help but feel shocked and angry. A prefect pointed at Fang Zheng with a trembling finger and said angrily: "You"
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "That's right, I turned against you, why are you?"
As they spoke, more than a dozen large-sleeved guards walked in. They held one of them and carried their collars, so that they could not move.
"Sir Fang, Lord Fang. Slowly!" A prefect stood up and said in anti-voice: "Little Country".
He is still stubborn when he dies. Could it be that there is really a saying in these things that "you won't cry until you see the coffin"?
Fang Zheng fat glanced at him and snorted: "Your memory is not so bad, right? The prefects of the six prefectures in Jiangnan are greedy for more than 20 million taels of treasury tax. Do you forget such a large amount of money so quickly?"
When the prefects heard this, their faces turned pale, and cold sweat flowed down their foreheads, looking at each other and finding that their eyes were as desperate as death, as human beings.
Only the magistrate of Jiaxing, Li Huaide, swept the Internet and changed into a look of joy. Fang Zheng glanced at him without a trace, and his doubts were even more serious. Look at his appearance, it seems that it has nothing to do with the tax case. Could it be that Miss Han San and I have a wrong judgment? No matter so many, I will lock it up first and then talk about it. One by one, I can always find clues. Even if I can't find clues, at least I have gained benefits. Tsk tsk, the piles of gold, silver and jewelry are enough for me to lose for a while.
Li Huaide was taken down with the prefects. Before leaving, Li Huaide turned around and looked at Fang Zheng. Fang Zheng winked at him. Li Huaide smiled knowingly, and followed the devastated prefect of the five prefectures to go to prison together.
Turning his head, Fang Zheng looked at the mountains of jewelry piled up in the warehouse and sighed with satisfaction. Today is a full return. He has captured these corrupt officials and gained benefits. If he could live like this every day, he would be willing to live ten years less. "I have lived a little more than ten years less, but I have to live five years less? No, three years or two years, forget it. These are all my worth, why should I live less?
Just as he was obsessed with looking at the whole room, suddenly the light inside the room dimmed, and someone walked into the door. Looking closely, it turned out to be the King of Thailand.
As soon as the King of Thailand came in, he was stunned by the jewels all over the room. Then Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Wow, I'm not going to the wrong door, right? I've hit the outside and found that there was a golden light shining here. I thought it was haunted, but it turned out that Lord Fang was making a fortune in a quiet voice. Fang Zheng was shocked and hurriedly smiled, "Your Highness of the King of Thailand is so serious. I just checked a few corrupt officials, these are all dirty silver collected, well, very dirty silver.
The King of Thailand blinked and smiled, "What corrupt official has such a big deal? I'm afraid that the gifts in the room will be worth millions of taels?"
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "To be honest, these were sent by the prefects of the seven prefectures in Jiangnan."
The Thai king was shocked: "Then you just said that you had investigated a few corrupt officials, could it be them?"
"Yes, I ordered them to be imprisoned, hum! The search for so many people's wealth and ointment is simply a scum of the court, and it is worse than a beast!"
The Thai king was shocked: "Mr. Fang, Brother Fang, what do you mean is that you have brought all the prefects of the seven prefectures in Jiangnan, uh, all the money?
"Yes, what's wrong?" Fang Zheng didn't understand.
The King of Thailand was a little anxious: "What's wrong? This, the prefects in Jiangnan asked you to arrest you. Who will handle government affairs? Who will comfort the people? They are the main leaders of each government.
"It's okay, I made arrangements early. I sent someone to the Ministry of Personnel the day before yesterday to urgently dispatch alternate officials to Jiangnan to take over their position. Calculate the time, and it is almost here." A bit of complexity flashed in the eyes of the King of Thailand, and then turned to look at the house of dazzling gifts, hesitated:
"Then do these gifts need to be handed over to the treasury?"
Fang Zheng immediately became nervous: "Who said he would hand over to the treasury? Mine! They are all mine!"
"ah?.
"This is all a little local specialty they respect me. Is it necessary to hand over to the treasury? Besides, it is not easy for me to make a few hard-earned money. You can't bear to see me returning to the capital without any hand, right?"
"Is this" hard-earned money?" The King of Thailand's eyes were straight, and the blood and sweat were blood and sweat, but it seemed that it was not your blood and sweat, right?
Fang Zheng rolled his eyes and pulled the King of Thailand's sleeve. The two walked out of the warehouse. After the guards locked the door of the warehouse and surrounded them outside the warehouse, Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Turning his head to look at the King of Thailand, Fang Zheng smiled relaxedly and said, "The rules of the world are the ones who meet you. Since I am not lucky today, I am not a person who eats alone. Let's go, I'll invite you to have a drink of flower wine."
"Drinking flower wine?" The King of Thailand was a little embarrassed: "Brother Fang, I am not a casual person."
"I'm not a casual person either! We are all gentlemen. Drinking flowers and wine is just to chant the wind and the moon, and to express our feelings of loyalty to the country and the emperor."
The King of Thailand was full of black lines: "Brother Fang, just drink some flower wine. Can't I go there? There is no need to praise our image so high, right?"
Fang Zheng hooked the shoulders of the King of Thailand intimately and said with a smile: "We brothers have a good chat. By the way, your temperament has changed a lot recently. I think you are a little unfamiliar. Today we have to dig our hearts and get to know each other again."
The King of Thailand's expression remained unchanged. He still smiled and said, "Oh? Have I changed a lot recently? Maybe I visited friends too frequently recently and got a little pedantic. I'm ashamed. Then let's go to Suzhou City to find the best brothel Chu Pavilion and have a good chat, haha, "That's great! Oh, on the moonlit night of the Twenty-Four Bridges, where can the jade man teach the flute? What does this poem mean? You have to help me find a beautiful girl this year to teach me later."
One is not counting the word count...
I was in a bad state and sat in front of the computer and posted it for a long time, but I couldn't put a word in it, so I had to code less today and leave some time to sort out my thoughts.
I read the chapters I posted last night and found that the pace of the plot has slowed down in the past twenty chapters. I have made a deep review and I will pay attention to speeding up the pace in the future. By the way, this book has been written by nearly three-quarters. It is almost time to end, so you can't lose the chain at this time, otherwise you will not be able to protect your later years."
Chapter completed!
