90011[o]9429 Chapter 313 Request for bribes

After the eyes were exposed, there were dark circles. Even Fang Zheng felt that everyone was worried about the incident.

If you touch a girl who is not married, you can take advantage of it. Even if you want to touch it a second time, you shouldn't ask in front of you. Who wouldn't be anxious about you? Fang Zheng covered his eyes and sighed in pain.

If I had known this, I should have attacked the enemy. After touching him, I would run away. I took advantage of him and gave her pleasure. Her happiness is my happiness, how great it is.

Han Yizhen sat on the stone bench on one side, her beautiful pretty face was unstable. She gritted her teeth and glared at Fang Zheng, and then shyly again. Looking at Fang Zheng who was sighing, she couldn't help laughing. Bai Zhe's face was flushed at this time, I don't know if it was shy or a smile.

He covered his eyes with one hand and waved to the pavilion with the other hand.

Wen Sen immediately came up and bowed at Fang Zheng: "Sir, what are your instructions?"

Before speaking, Fang Zheng sighed bitterly and said with a bitter face: "Write a memorial to the emperor in the capital, write down the matter of the governor of Suzhou Li Boyan, and ask the emperor to decide. Also, write the progress of the case, and write it in the memorial. This imperial envoy is desperate to solve the case, too brave, and his face is swollen like a pig's head when he was beaten. Please give me millions of taels of silver as medical expenses. If you can change people halfway and ask me to go back to the capital to recuperate, that would be even better.

Han Yizhen laughed at the sound, then tightened her pretty face and hummed softly.

Wen Sen looked at Han Yizhen with a difficult face and whispered: "Sir." Is this a bit inappropriate? Li Boyan's affairs are just the beginning of the whole case, and he sent memorials so early. Will the emperor think that the Jiangnan tax case is too easy? If the emperor returns an order and asks us to solve the case within a specified period, we will be passive," he said.

Fang Zheng waved his hand indifferently and said earnestly: "Old Wen, how much you should be careful in everything. You can't just keep your head busy. You have to look up your boss's face often. Whether the work is beautiful or not or not is not up to you, but up to your boss. Therefore, you have to always observe the boss's expression. If the boss is happy, you will continue to do it. The boss is angry. Quickly change the way of doing things, ask for instructions early and report later. This is all necessary. In the officialdom, you must understand these things.

Wensen thought about it, then showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. I don’t know if he really understood it or simply agreed with Fang Zheng.

Fang Zheng pondered for a moment, and then said, "This place is not far from the capital. After the memorial is delivered, within two days, the emperor should have the will. After the emperor's decree comes, you will invite all the prefects of the other six prefectures in Jiangnan to Suzhou City in the name of this imperial envoy. Let me follow the practice of this imperial envoy. Please go to Suzhou to report your duties."

After thinking about it, what if the prefects dare not come? Fang Zheng thought for a while and added: "I mentioned it implicitly in the official document, and I said that this imperial envoy was exhausted and could not bear to travel far. If all the prefects want to respect this imperial envoy, I would bring something to myself. This imperial envoy has always been approachable and never refused anyone. Hehe.

What are corrupt officials afraid of? Of course, they are afraid of honest officials. Now I am clearly an official who is more greedy than them. They will be so happy that they regard me as their own father, so there is no reason why they dare not come? I received the red envelope and achieved my goal, killing two birds with one stone. I am really a genius,

Wensen nodded and wrote it one by one, thought about it again, suddenly raised his head and stared at Fang Zheng with admiration. He said excitedly: "Sir, you're so tall!"

"Oh? Where did Gao come from?" Fang Zheng stared at Wensen with great enthusiasm, waiting for his flattery to be sent continuously.

"Center the prefects of the seven prefectures in Jiangnan in Suzhou City, investigate and interrogate them one by one, and always find clues. We will avoid being killed by the person behind the scenes. I am really smart!"

Wen Sen was a series of brilliant and powerful flatteries. Fang Zheng was dizzy and smiled at the sky, "Hahahahaha, I've passed, I've passed. If you don't say humbly, this is just a small trick. It's not worth mentioning. Haha, my official's IQ is as high as 18, and it's natural to solve a case. The people in the world all say that I have the talent to maintain stability and stability. It seems that this is,"

"It's not false, it's indeed true." Wen Sen took a small old face with flattery and pleasing.

Han Yizhen, who was standing beside him, couldn't see it and suddenly interrupted: "I came up with this idea."

“Ga

The two big men who were so generous that they were like roosters choked on their necks, and they bent down and coughed violently. Their faces turned purple and they panted for a long time before they could breathe evenly.

They stood up and looked at each other. The two men had a very tacit understanding and said nothing. One bowed and left to write the memorial, while the other stood in the pavilion in the wind, as if nothing had happened, looking at the spring scenery outside the pavilion with excitement, with a very serious expression on his face.

At the same time, in a remote and dark house in the north of Suzhou City, Yang Cheng knelt on the ground and trembled all over. His little finger with his right hand was wrapped tightly. However, the blood still penetrated through the gauze, and the gauze was bright red, which looked particularly scary.

The little finger was cut off by himself, which was the punishment of the master's ineffective treatment of him.

Yang Cheng gritted his teeth and tried his best to endure the pain from his little finger.

His face couldn't help but twitch, and his face was already covered with sweat, but he didn't even have the courage to raise his hand to wipe it.

"Say! How could it fail? That jar of poisonous wine is colorless and tasteless, and it can corrode the internal organs of a person into the mouth, but now Fang Zheng lives well, with no hair missing. Yang Cheng, is this how you do your work for me?" The owner's voice was as gloomy as usual, but today's gloomy tone was mixed with a little anger and dissatisfaction.

Yang Cheng trembled when he heard this, and hurriedly knocked his head on the floor and said in a trembling voice: "I am dying! In fact, everything was arranged according to the plan, but the problem lies with the servant who poured wine in the Han Mansion. The servant accidentally sprinkled a few drops of wine. Fang Zheng had to dying. My subordinate deserved death!

"Hmph! My eyes were destroyed by you, you! I wish I could tear you into pieces to eliminate the hatred in my heart!"

Yang Cheng crawled on the ground, not daring to move, his body sweated coldly, and soon soaked the whole body.

.

"It's a good plan to kill Fang Zheng and also to put the charge of murdering the imperial envoy on the Han family! Yang Cheng, you really deserve to die. You've made the whole thing more complicated!"

Yang Cheng's face was ashes, and his pale face was covered with despair.

"Master! Please forgive me for another time and allow me to make up for my fault. My subordinates will definitely cut off Fang Zheng's head with their own hands and present it to the Lord!"

"After this incident, Fang Zheng must be more careful and be more cautious around him. How can he get in a hurry? Forget it, let's put aside the assassination of Fang Zheng for the time being, and we have more important things to do.

Yang Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief quietly, lowered his head and said respectfully: "Yes, Lord. The Turkic Khan King Mochu sent an envoy to request a meeting with Lord."

Behind the curtain, the master was silent for a while and suddenly said, "What conditions did Mochu put forward to help me send troops?"

"He asked all the land, cities and people north of the Yangtze River in China, after the Lord ascended the throne, our Chinese army and Mochuo joined forces to wipe out Gudulu Khan, help him unify the grassland, and from then on the two countries will quit their troops and never talk about war."

"Hmph! Mochu is so big of a appetite for all the land and cities north of the Yangtze River! Yang Cheng, go and tell the messenger that I will only assign Youzhou to him at most. If he doesn't agree, it won't be easy for Mochu to himself on the grassland. If you combine, you will benefit from both sides, and if you divide, you will lose both. He will understand this principle."

"yes .

After a pause, Yang Cheng asked, "Master, that Fang Zheng"

"Fang Zheng? Let him check it. The tax and silver in Jiangnan has been used as military expenses. When he finds out, I have already joined forces with the Turks to attack the capital. Duke Zhongguo, Humph! See how long you can be Duke Zhongguo. If I ascend the throne to the emperor, the first thing I do is to kill your Fang family!, Xiao.

Two days later, the Fatty Emperor's decree came down.

The decree is very concise. First, he praised Fang Zheng for his proper handling of things, impartiality, and indulgence. The fat emperor Long Xin was very happy. He rewarded Fang Zheng with a small meaning. Then he ordered Fang Zheng to continue to investigate the tax case, dig deep into the root of the crime, and gave Fang Zheng the right to arbitrarily, that is, he had the right to appoint and remove or even kill all military and political officials of the seven prefectures of Jiangnan. It was equivalent to giving Fang Zheng a sword of Shangfang, and it was necessary to clean up the officialdom of Jiangnan.

As for Fang Zheng's request for a substitution on the spot, the fat man sternly refused. He also brought a message to Fang Zheng, so that he could entertain himself after work, but he was not allowed to make his daughter's belly bigger. Otherwise, Changping would be angry and the consequences would be very serious. Luo Yueniang was the lesson of the past.

In the hall, Fang Zheng threw the imperial edict on the table with a disdainful look on his face, making Wensen's mouth stand straight.

Imperial edict, how many ministers have been officials all their lives may not be able to get the will given to him by the emperor. Who doesn’t hold the imperial edict and fight with the victories? It’s like a treasure, and worship it as an ancestor, and leave it to the descendants for generations to worship? Lord Fang is so good, he takes the imperial edict as a diaper.

"I reward the Fang family with 100 taels of silver? I'm so fat, you're so embarrassed to say it." Fang Zheng waved his fists, looking angry: "Are you rewarding me or burying me? I'll give you ten million taels to the treasury. Without blinking your eyelids, you'll give me 100 taels? Isn't drink enough for a while?"

Wensen hurriedly laughed and said, "Sir, it's enough to save a little. My subordinates can drink a drink of thirty taels.

"Shut up! A foolish guy!"

He hummed in dissatisfaction. Fang Zheng suddenly laughed again, laughing so hard that he was extremely stagnant: "The fat man is stingy, Ba Wen, this official document is very unusual. When the prefects saw the official document, their reactions were shocked and surprised.

The official documents are very simple. After the imperial envoy arrived in Suzhou, he was not obedient to the soil and soil, and was not good at doing things, but he had to do the job of inspecting Jiangnan on behalf of the emperor. Therefore, the prefect of each prefecture was asked to work hard and bring all the data under the administration, such as the population, land, merchants, farming and sericulture, river management, etc., and bring them all to Suzhou. Then, the imperial envoy would pretend to go over it and say a few intimate words to the prefect of each prefecture, and everyone would have a happy meal. Let's go. The mourning thing is to go through the situation. I'm fine. I'll let it go.

This is nothing, mainly the last sentence of the official document made the prefects of various prefectures dumbfounded.

The last sentence really has the finishing touch: I was a commander who worked hard for the country and the people day and night, and even became tired at work. Such a diligent and honest imperial envoy is a blessing for the court and a blessing for the people. So, do you prefectures also express your expression? Don’t give too much, each of them is 8,000 taels of 10,000 taels, and the imperial envoy will buy medicine to replenish your body."

After reading the official documents, the prefects of each prefecture almost had the same expression. They sat in a daze, their faces twitched constantly, and they looked like they wanted to cry and laugh, as if they were lit with a hole, and they could not move for a long time.

The imperial envoy fell ill and asked the officials of various prefectures to recommend him to Suzhou to report his duties. There is nothing to say, but from ancient times to the present, in which dynasty and the other dynasties, dared to blatantly ask for bribes for compensation? Moreover, the imperial envoy seemed to be afraid that the prefects of various prefectures would not understand, and even wrote the specific amount of silver given by the "Qi Dao If the official document was known by the censor in the court, the imperial envoy would not be afraid of being dumped." Jianmo Xingzi drowned?

The prefects thought about it carefully and couldn't help but start laughing again.

They had never seen Fang Zheng. However, the other party's name is well-known. There have been rumors in the court in the capital that this Lord Fang is an absolute corrupt official and is insatiable. It can be said that he was plucking his hair by geese and tasting the feces. Unexpectedly, the rumors are indeed true. He dared to ask for bribes in the official documents. Is this Lord Fang the most in history, right?

However, this is a great disaster for the five prefectures suspected of the Jiangnan tax case.

.

Originally, they were worried about Fang Zheng's inspection of Jiangnan, "I was so anxious that I could not stay away. They knew how much tax and silver they had greedy. If Fang Zheng found out, it would not be enough to cut his head a hundred times, so when they knew that Fang Zheng had gone to Jiangnan, they felt that the end of the world was approaching, and they just counted down every day, and it would be a day to live.

But Fang Zheng's official document was like clearing away the dark clouds and seeing the sun. After carefully thinking about it, the prefect couldn't help but feel happy.

It turns out that this imperial envoy is also a corrupt official, so this matter is much easier to deal with. What are the most feared by corrupt officials? Of course, those honest and honest officials who are not good at the Internet are honest and honest. Judging from the official documents of the imperial envoy, it is obvious that Lord Fang has nothing to do with the word "integrity". Now this Lord Fang is only apart from telling them that he is also a fellow disciple. What else should these prefects worry about?

A corrupt official came to investigate a corrupt official. What can be found? Except for the imperial envoy who returned with a full load, there will be no change in the officialdom in Jiangnan.

The prefects no longer hesitated. The carts were filled with expensive and rare gifts, and set off today, with joy on their faces, heading straight for Suzhou.

There are exceptions.

After reading the official document, Li Huaide, the governor of Jiaxing, sighed obscurely, said nothing, brought a few followers, and did not bring any gifts, and went on the road alone.

Two days later, the prefects of the seven prefectures of Jiangnan, except for the Suzhou prefect Li Boyan, who was imprisoned by Niangsuo, the other six prefects gathered at the Suzhou prefect's office and gathered with the imperial envoy Fang. Corrupt officials of all sizes celebrated and congratulated each other, lamenting that their years of corrupt officials had not been beheaded. Everyone couldn't help but breathe, and praised the emperor's wisdom and martial arts in the same voice. I sincerely wished my emperor long live, and they could get greedy for 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,

Only Jiaxing magistrate Li Huaide silently lowered his head and looked depressed.

The prefects seemed to know something, and they kept a certain distance from him. The eyes of their eyes were filled with hostility and disdain.

The prefects respectfully presented the gift list. Fang Zheng took it and saw that he was so happy that he couldn't stop. He even did the polite etiquette on his surface. He lifted up the hem of his official uniform and couldn't wait to run to the warehouse where the gifts were piled up in the back hall of the yamen.

The jinshi shone in the warehouse, and the mountains of rare gifts piled up into Fang Zheng's eyes. He couldn't help but feel dizzy and almost got lost. The man rushed forward.

"All of them are for me?" Fang Zheng's eyes were filled with little stars, and even his eyes were filled with a faint green light.

"Yes, yes, yes, adults work hard for the country and the people, and it is really too hard. The lower officials are moved by their selfless dedication spirit of unfavorable to adults and specializing in benefiting others, so they are."

"Okay, okay, just send your heart to you. There is no need to say anything, it's quite disgusting. Don't you disgusted?" Fang Zheng stared at Ruzhi's gold, silver and jewelry without blinking, and said absent-mindedly. "Uh, a little."

When the prefects saw Fang Zheng looking obsessed, they couldn't help but look at each other for a few glances, showing a little joyful smile, and tacit understanding each other.

"Hahahahahahaha, I love the people as much as my son. Whenever I go to a place, I must taste the local specialties to understand the people's conditions and care about the suffering of the people. Well, the local specialties given by all of you are very distinctive, which is enough for me to taste. Thank you, haha, thank you."

Local specialties? Golden local specialties? The prefects looked at each other and became more and more convinced. No wonder this imperial envoy was a second-rank official at a young age. It seems that he has the ability to be a second-rank official. Not to mention anything else, just his face is thick. Everyone is far from reaching.

Only the Jiaxing magistrate Li Huaide looked worried and a hint of anger. He looked at Fang Zheng who was so proud that he laughed to the sky. He stumbled his lips a few times, and finally sighed heavily. He shook his head and said nothing.

Fang Zheng rubbed his hands and smiled, "My sirs, you are so polite, I am really sorry for it, haha."

The prefects hurriedly flattered: "No shame, no shame, the ancients said: There is a golden house in books, and the adults are from scholars, and they are official: rank, and they are the Duke of the State, so they should live in a golden house for granted."

Sorry, he was so embarrassed that Fang Zheng fatted the gifts in the warehouse that were as high as a mountain, and said shyly: "You guys are very reasonable." However, if you want to build a golden house, there seems to be less materials. What do you think?"

The prefects were shocked. This imperial minister was too shameless, right? I gave you so much, and each person spent more than 100,000 taels of silver. You didn’t think it was enough. How big is your appetite?

Looking around, the prefects gritted their teeth and reached a consensus in their eyes.

Keep paying, if you don't pay, the imperial envoy will be very unhappy. He will be unhappy. The consequences are very serious. If you don't talk about anything else, just the tax case will be enough for them to lose their heads a hundred times.

The prefects forced their faces to smile, their faces twitched, and they took out a stack of thick silver notes from their arms and handed them on them reluctantly.

Fang Zheng took the silver notes and couldn't help but feel happy. One by one, like the security guard who collected the tickets, he put the silver notes sent by the prefects one by one into his arms.

With affectionately hooked the shoulders of the prefects, Fang Zheng smiled as kindly as the blessing of the heavenly officials: "Is there any?"
Chapter completed!
