Volume Three, Chapter 186, The Unexpected Incident

Time flies, and the sun and the moon are like a shuttle. In a blink of an eye, Governor Yang Cong has been in the southwest for almost two years. In the past two years, he has made many achievements.

Annan quelled the rebellion, prompting the Mo family to surrender; Guangxi rectified the administration of officials and found a large number of corrupt officials; vigorously cleared the land and promoted terraces, allowing the people of Guangxi to slowly live a life of food and clothing.

If any of this is done by other officials, they will definitely be promoted and even promoted to three levels.

However, he has made so many achievements but has not received any rewards. What's going on?

In Jiajing's words, he had to wait until his term of office expired and he would return to Beijing to report his work together.

Is this the truth?

Of course this is not the case. Jiajing originally wanted to give Yang Cong a title of Prince Taibao or something, and to raise his position to the first rank to encourage him. However, Yan Song and Xia Yan joined forces to fool Jiajing, saying that Yang Cong's position was already high enough. If he made new contributions in the future, he would probably have no rewards, so the reward should be temporarily suspended and he would wait until Yang Cong returns to Beijing from the southwest.

This does sound a little bit reasonable. If Yan Song and Xia Yan really think so, it would be fine. It would be fine if they become the prince’s prince’s magistrate one or two years later, it would have no effect on Yang Cong.

Unfortunately, Yan Song and Xia Yan didn't think so at all. They were delaying time and trying to find a way to deal with Yang Cong.

There is a saying that says, "Nothing is difficult in the world, I am afraid of those who are determined." This can be used on good people and bad people. Sometimes, bad people are even more "heartful" than good people and are easier to achieve their goals because they are shameless enough.

For example, this time, Yan Song quickly found an excuse to deal with Yang Cong.

So, what is this excuse?

This excuse is the corruption of Guangxi officials!

It was because Yang Cong was too negligent when he said this. He thought that Yuan Yingshu and the corrupt officials would be able to explain what they said in their confession during the Tribunal's Tribunal's Tribunal's Tribunal, but he never thought about what these people would say in front of others.

Yuan Yingshu did not dare to tell the truth to the officials interrogated by the Censorate, the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple, but he dared to tell the truth to Yan Song!

Yan Song actually knew how much Yuan Yingshu was greedy. He didn't feel strange about Yuan Yingshu's confession that he had only greedy for a few thousand taels, because a few thousand taels were easy to get rid of the crime.

Since Yuan Yingshu only confessed a few thousand taels, there was no big deal. At this moment, he was so strict when he arrested corruption and established the dynasty. He casually explained it, and Yuan Yingshu's punishment came out soon.

The Three Laws have concluded that Yuan Yingshu was corrupt and was sentenced to dismissal from office and demoted to a commoner!

This means dismissing Yuan Yingshu's official position, removing Yuan Yingshu's fame and reputation, and turning him into a civilian without any privileges.

After some interrogation, Yuan Yingshu easily came out of the Ministry of Justice prison.

The first thing he did after he came out was naturally to visit his father-in-law Yan Song, and while expressing his gratitude, he also asked what to do in the future.

At around the afternoon of the afternoon, Yan Song had just returned from the cabinet's office and recruited Yuan Yingshu to his study and started a secret discussion.

After the father-in-law and son-in-law's greeting, Yan Song solemnly asked: "Zhongheng, where are you left with the silver? Xianyi said that Yang Cong copied all your mansion in Nanning. Did he really only copy a few thousand taels of silver?"

When Yuan Yingshu heard this, his face turned red.

In fact, there was not much silver hidden in his mansion, and he had to worry about his reputation. He always transported silver to the mansion. That was not a corrupt official or a corrupt official, so he hid most of the silver in other places.

However, he also raised several women from the Music House there. Naturally, he did not dare to mention this to his wife Yan Xianyi, because the Music House is a low-key person, and the Music House girl did not even have the qualifications to be an ordinary concubine, let alone a high-ranking official with a deep background like him.

He did not dare to mention this matter in front of Yan Song, but he did not dare to hide the money from Yan Song. He said honestly: "My father-in-law, the son-in-law originally had another place to hide silver in Nanning. Unfortunately, the place was also recruited by Yang Xianke, the treacherous villain. Therefore, the money he earned in Guangxi in recent years was almost all confiscated by Yang Cong, the boy."

When Yan Song heard this, he was not angry, but asked with interest: "Oh, are you saying that the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver you have earned in the past few years been confiscated by that boy Yang Cong?"

Yuan Yingshu nodded honestly and said, "Yes, it's all my fault for using the son-in-law inappropriately. I believe that treacherous villain Yang Xianke."

Yan Song said indifferently: "Oh, what did Yang Cong say when he interrogated you? Will he believe that you only greedy for a few thousand taels of silver?"

Yuan Yingshu was slightly moved and said, "If you want to say that Yang Cong is quite tactful, the son-in-law didn't want to hide it, but he hinted that the son-in-law said the amount was smaller to facilitate the crime. He probably wouldn't dare to break up with his father-in-law."

When Yan Song heard this, he couldn't help but curse in his heart: "You idiot, why are you afraid of tearing off your face? That kid is still afraid of tearing off your face with me. If he could use a knife, that kid would probably have used a knife!"

He could have confirmed that Yang Cong swallowed up the gold and silver obtained from Yuan Yingshu's corruption!

Now that I finally have an excuse to deal with Yang Cong.

Thinking of this, he suddenly asked, "Do you know how much the prefects you pushed up are greedy?"

Yuan Yingshu estimated: "These guys are not good at fuel-efficient. Each of them is at least tens of thousands of taels."

Yan Song laughed and said, "Tell you, they confessed more than a thousand taels."

this!

Yuan Yingshu was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly realized.

These guys probably also received the hint from that boy Yang Cong, and deliberately reported a small amount to facilitate the crime. It seems that this boy Yang Cong is not bad, at least, this boy will not kill everyone.

He couldn't help but praise: "Although that boy Yang Cong is a mortal enemy of us, he is still very kind to do things."

kind!

He probably can only say this. If someone else was confiscated hundreds of thousands of taels by Yang Cong, he would probably have to greet the eighteen generations of ancestors. But he didn't care much, because the Yan family was rich, and Yan Song and his wife were extremely fond of their children. With Yan Xianyi's favor, it would probably cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of taels to act like a spoiled person. He is so anxious!

kind?

It’s a pity you said!

You have never seen that boy Yang Cong's shameless method. That boy is kind. There is no unkind person in this world. He was made like this and even said good things to others. You idiot, you don't know what Xianyi likes you.

Yan Song couldn't help but secretly complain, but on the surface, he still pretended to be kind and said kindly: "Zhongheng, this time your business is a bit serious. It's good that people can come out. As for re-activated, it's probably time to wait for Yang Cong to fall. So, in a few days, you will go back to Fenyi's hometown with Xianyi. It just so happens that some of the Yan family's land is not under control, so you just take care of the income from the land. You can just collect the income from the land. After all, I can't use that much money, and a salary of more than 100 taels a month is enough."

When Yuan Yingshu heard this, he couldn't help but tremble excitedly. The Yan family was one of the most wealthy families in Fenyi. The land under his name was at least 100,000 acres, which was two or three million taels!

He quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, my father-in-law."
