Chapter 144 Extortion and extortion
"How can we slander him? Isn't he just a traitor?"
Those people are not willing to show weakness. They are traitorous officials. They need to be slandered as much as possible.
"Okay, you all calm down, you want to go out, right?"
Xie Ji suddenly said to these people.
"You are... a traitor. Yes, we are going out. Even though you are the prime minister, you cannot arrest people at will."
Some people boldly said that Xie Ji was not timid when he saw them, and they were not any worse. Xie Ji could still go against all the officials.
You must know that there are many officials' children here. When the time comes, Xie Ji can't stand the pressure and will let them go.
"You have to go out. It's very simple. You should write a letter to your parents now and ask your parents to come over and apologize to the Prime Minister. At the same time, you yourself have to copy the seven words "Rumors stop at wise men" to the Prime Minister a thousand times, and then
Apologize and you can leave."
Xie Ji smiled and said, "You want me to let you go. If it weren't for you, would I have suffered such a big loss? If you don't apologize, just stay here."
"This is impossible, traitor, you are thinking beautifully. We are right, why should we apologize?"
He couldn't lose his face. His father was a minister, so he couldn't come to apologize to this traitor because of him. It would be too shameful. No, absolutely not.
"Then don't go out. Although this courtyard is not as good as the Prime Minister's Mansion, the scenery is still quite beautiful. It would be nice to stay here."
Xie Ji smiled and said, "If you don't apologize, then just stay here and see who can outlast whom. Then let your father come in person to beg me for his release. This time, it's on my side. It's useless to sue His Majesty."
, be careful as your Majesty will mark him down. After all, your son is spreading rumors, so it would be nice not to convict you.
"You, you, you... traitor, you are shameless, I tell you, you don't even have a door, don't even think about me apologizing to you."
Not to be outdone, the man shouted, "Damn the traitor, it's impossible to make him apologize."
"Jiangnan, you go out and ask people to go to the doors of the major officials to pass messages. If you want to get your son back, come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to apologize to the Prime Minister. Come in person. It's best to send a sincerity. It's not much. It's only ten thousand per person."
Two pieces of silver."
"This means your son eats and lives for nothing, and also spends the pen, ink, paper and inkstone of the truth. Not only that, but there are also soldier subsidies, guard fees, service fees and other expenses. These all cost money."
"As for here, we can provide these students with pens, ink, paper and inkstones. Those who have to write letters or those who have to copy them a thousand times can be provided free of charge. After all, your father paid for them. This treatment cannot be bad."
"As for sleeping or eating, each person should have a bowl of rice porridge and a portion of green vegetables, balanced nutrition, and a quilt to avoid catching a cold. This courtyard is quite large and can accommodate three to four thousand people. However, there are not enough beds, but
It’s okay to sleep on the floor, and it’ll be over for a while.”
This villa is about the same size as a high school, about two hundred acres, but it has no decorations. Apart from the main house, there are only seven or eight secondary bedrooms. It was the place where I used to have barbecues with other people for a long time.
It's useless, there's dirt everywhere.
"Treacherous minister, you are extorting money." Those people blushed after hearing these words and apologized to the traitorous minister. He could not afford to embarrass this person, not to mention that this traitorous minister was extorting money. It was so abominable.
Xie Ji left the courtyard regardless of what those people behind him said.
I originally wanted to let them go directly, but thinking about it this way, I was at a huge loss and had to get my money back from them.
It doesn’t matter that they scolded me, but they still caused such a big impact. If they don’t punish me, what should I do if they continue to spread rumors?
What's more, if you want to redeem someone this time, you have to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion in person to make amends. If you don't come, then don't ask me to let him go.
Those officials have to thank me. I have good intentions and help train your children, so that they will not talk nonsense in the future without understanding anything.
Xie Ji slowly returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and found several officials standing at the door waiting for him, looking really anxious.
"If you have anything to do, go in and chat. Go in and chat."
[Read books and get cash] Follow the vx public account [], and you can also get cash by reading books!
Xie Ji greeted warmly.
"Prime Minister, I won't go in and disturb you now. I just want to trouble the Prime Minister with something."
A middle-aged man in his forties said with a smile.
"Yes, Prime Minister."
"You all came here for the same thing?" Xie Ji replied with a smile. One of them was one of his. Unexpectedly, his son was also arrested.
"That's right. Prime Minister, the dog is unkind, so please don't argue with him." The man replied that he had a relationship with the Prime Minister after all, and hoped that he would not argue with his child. He would definitely deal with it when he got back.
"It's okay, it's okay to be ambitious and passionate as a young man. We all have impulsive moments, so there's no need to argue." After Xie Ji said this, the eyes of these officials lit up, and they could let him go.
"Prime Minister, thank you very much, Prime Minister."
"Wait a minute, don't thank me yet. It's right to let him go, but you guys have wasted my time, energy, and money, and you need to compensate for these. You are the first batch to come to my place, and I'll give you a 20% discount.
It originally cost ten thousand taels, but this time, eight thousand taels will do."
"You go back and prepare compensation, and then I will send your disciples to you. But in order to teach them a lesson, I will help you educate your disciples and make them copy the six words "Rumors stop at the wise" a thousand times.
If you apologize to me again, you can go home."
After Xie Ji said that, all the officials frowned. This is a robbery. Why don't you go and rob eight thousand taels? You know, this is equivalent to their annual salary.
It's not the money that matters, but the apology, which is really a bit hard to accept.
"Prime Minister, is it the same for lower-ranking officials?" Someone, relying on their good relationship with Xie Ji, also asked. The Prime Minister probably wouldn't let him do that.
"Naturally, I never favor one over the other." Xie Ji said, if your son hadn't been talking about me behind my back, would I have been arrested? Although he might have been arrested by mistake, I forgive you for coming to apologize so quickly, but you still can't let him go.
people.
"Okay, Prime Minister, I will go back and prepare the silver. Please also ask the Prime Minister to take good care of the child."
"This is what it should be. Your son is, I will ask someone to pick him up right now." Xie Ji smiled and said, once the money is in place, don't care about it. Look at how kind I am. Even if you scold me, I will still smile with you.
say.
"Xu Maozhi." Xu Yan, the admonishing doctor, said that if his son hadn't gotten into trouble this time, he would have come to Xie Ji.
When the time comes, I will definitely give him a good beating to see if he dares to cause trouble everywhere in the future.
After Xu Yan finished speaking, he frowned and left. Some other officials gritted their teeth and said so.
Xie Ji saw that these officials felt a little sore when they left, and smiled. From now on, these officials should be more honest.
"Gao Shan, go to the other courtyard and call these people to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Since you have to pay, you must show your sincerity. Let them copy it in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they will not release it until it is finished.
At this time, people in other courtyards and Jiangnan had already spread the news. If they wanted to take back their disciples, they would go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to redeem them.
Jiangnan people moved some pens, inks, paper and inkstones inside. Those people didn't move and started to join the group to keep warm. There were actually people inside who said that anyone who dared to write a word would be a villain with the traitorous officials.
The grudges of the previous life seem to have nothing to do with these juniors. After all, it is the matter of their parents. Almost all of these juniors have no good impression of Xie Ji, and they will talk back to their parents for Xie Ji.
Jiang Nan looked at those who scolded them fiercely. Go ahead and scold them. Why bother with these young men? If you continue to scold them, it will be your parents who are in trouble. You will suffer the same when you go back.
Gao Shan walked in at this time.
"Xu Maozhi, Gu Youcai, Ning Zhizhi, Jiangcheng... these people are going to the Prime Minister's Mansion with me."
"What's going on? Why did you ask me to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion? Could it be that the Prime Minister is going to let me go?" The one who yelled the most fiercely before was Xu Maozhi. He kept scolding Xie Ji when he came, and he could say anything.
speak out.
"Your father has prepared money to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to make amends. The Prime Minister asked me to come over and ask you to get out," Gao Shan said.
"How is it possible? How can my father apologize to that traitor? Tell my father that I will stay here and don't give a penny to that traitor. There is no way for me to apologize to the traitor." Xu Maozhi's face changed after hearing this.
They were all red with anger.
Why should I apologize to a traitor and let him succeed in blackmail?
Impossible, he will stay here.
"Pull him out." Gao Shan was not polite to him and directly ordered Xu Maozhi to be pulled away.
"Hey, hey, hey, let me go. I'm here and you still want to drag me away. Don't want me to apologize to that traitor. I'd rather die than surrender."
Xu Maozhi's mouth was roughly blocked while he was speaking, and he was forcibly pulled away.
Still struggling, but not strong enough to fight against the soldiers.
Just like that, those whose names were called were all taken away.
