I Am a Corrupt Official, But They Say I Am a Loyal Minister!
Chapter 7 Master Yao, you are too happy!
About 10 minutes later, everyone came to Yao Zheng's house.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, a graceful old woman led a group of people to Yao Zheng, and said worriedly, "Master, what's wrong with your hand? And these few..."
"My hand was bitten by a sly little snake, it's fine!" Yao Zheng glared at Lin Beifan, and then said to the old woman, "Passing the house, take a few colleagues over to take a look. This one is her majesty the current Holy Martial Queen, so hurry up and meet her majesty!"
Everyone panicked, and immediately bowed their bodies and bowed: "Meet Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live!"
"No gift, everyone!" The Empress smiled.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone stood up.
Yao Zheng introduced proudly: "Your Majesty, this one is the inferior official, Yao Zhang! She is virtuous and virtuous, and has worked hand in hand with the inferior official for more than 30 years. The couple is deeply in love! And these two are the dogs of the inferior official. Fame is in the body!"
The Empress smiled and nodded: "Yes! It's getting late, let's go in and have a look!"
Yao Zheng hurriedly greeted: "Your Majesty, and colleagues, please come in!"
At the same time, he did not forget to tell his wife to prepare refreshments.
Yao Zheng's home is in the form of a front courtyard and a backyard. It is not large, and there are no luxurious decorations. It looks elegant, neat and clean.
After walking around, the Empress was very satisfied: "It seems that Yao Aiqing is a good official with integrity and integrity! Dawu has you, I am fortunate, and the country is fortunate!"
"Thank you Your Majesty for your praise, Wei Chen is ashamed to be worthy of it!" Yao Zheng was overjoyed: "On weekdays, Wei Chen is strictly self-disciplined, and sets an example to educate everyone! Just to... live up to the mighty emperor's grace!"
At this time, he thanked Lin Beifan in his heart.
If it wasn't for his suggestion, he wouldn't have the chance to show his integrity in front of the emperor and officials!
It is hoped that the addition of an official and a title, and a name in the history of the Qing Dynasty!
The Empress clapped her hands and applauded, "Da Shan!"
Yao Zheng was overjoyed and came to Lin Beifan and said proudly, "Lord Lin, what else do you have to say?"
Lin Beifan smiled slightly: "Master Yao, you are too happy to be happy!"
Yao Zheng was dissatisfied: "Why, can you still point out my fault?"
Lin Beifan pointed his finger: "Look!"
Looking at Lin Beifan's fingers, everyone saw the tables and chairs placed in the hall.
"What's wrong with this set of tables and chairs?"
"There is a big problem! This set of tables and chairs is all made of black gold nanmu! Black gold nanmu is hard in texture, dark as ink, not easy to corrode, not easy to burn, and is a good material for making furniture! Currently on the market, black gold Nanmu is very expensive, and only ten taels of silver can buy a kilogram! And this set of tables and chairs has a total of five or six hundred kilograms, which means that the total value has reached five or six thousand taels! If you count the processing costs, It will be more expensive!”
Lin Beifan smiled slightly: "Master Yao, where did you get this set of tables and chairs?"
"This..." Yao Zheng was speechless and couldn't help looking at his wife.
"Lin Aiqing, what you said is the truth?" The Empress looked left and right, and asked in confusion, "This set of tables and chairs that look so ordinary is actually worth 6,000 taels of silver?"
Lin Beifan bowed and said awe-inspiringly, "Your Majesty can send someone to investigate, and this minister will never lie!"
The Empress glanced at Yao Zheng and her face sank.
"And this tea, it's also unusual!"
"What's wrong with this tea?"
Lin Beifan said with a smile: "This tea is produced in Dahuang Mountain, a neighboring country. After being rinsed with water, the fragrance is overflowing, it lasts for a long time, and it refreshes the mind. It is a medicinal tea! Due to its very small production, it is particularly popular among people. Highly sought after! One tael of gold and one tael of tea, also known as golden tea! Even many dignitaries can’t drink this kind of tea, where did you get it, Master Yao?”
"Is this tea... really that valuable?" Yao Zheng was shocked.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask someone to check and see if what I said is true!" Lin Beifan laughed.
Yao Zheng's face paled a bit, and the empress' face sank again.
Then, Lin Beifan pointed out a few more points.
For example, a calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall, a rockery in the middle of the yard, and some small accessories.
They are all things that look ordinary and can be ignored if you don't pay attention.
But all of them have hidden mysteries, with a total value of 40,000 taels.
Yao Zheng's face was as pale as paper with fright, and sweat dripped down.
The Empress was furious and slapped the table: "Good, you Yao Zheng! I trust you, so I let you serve as a public official and supervise hundreds of officials! I didn't expect you to be embezzled and bribery yourself. What's your crime?"
"Your Majesty is wronged, these ministers don't know about it!" Yao Zheng fell to his knees in fright and begged.
The Empress became even more angry: "How dare you say that you are wronged?"
Lin Beifan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, calm down, Master Yao may not be greedy, but not necessarily the people under his command! Master Yao has read the book of sages and sages, and also serves as an official. He can control himself, but the people under his command may not be This self-control! After all, power can blind people's eyes!"
