Marry a concubine? Reborn to move out of the mansion and marry a general
Chapter 191: A Messy Table
However, as the saying goes, a higher-ranking official can crush a person to death.
Although the Governor has just arrived, this powerful dragon is determined to suppress the local snake. He does not follow the rules, is arrogant and unreasonable, and rushes recklessly. He is not afraid of the joint impeachment of various cities in Jiangnan!
"Let me tell you, my ambition since I was young was not to be an official, let alone stay in the Imperial Academy. My dream is to travel around the world like Prince Rong!"
Gu Jiusi picked up the wine jug on the table, raised his head and took a big sip, then glanced at Wei Shaofeng and the others who were dumbfounded:
"But, I am the elder brother, I can't disobey my younger brother. If my younger brother tells me to study, I can't disobey him! But it's really boring to be in the Imperial Academy. Only this time as a governor, it's a little interesting!"
"If the emperor dismisses me after I go back this time, I can just go home to help my sister run the business. You know, my sister is going to have a baby, so she can't travel around for a while, and I can just catch up to help her. Hehe, then I can come to Jiangnan more often. When the time comes, Lord Wei, please treat me to another pot of Qiuyuezui for our friendship today!"
Wei Shaofeng couldn't cry, and couldn't laugh either. His face was crumpled like an orange peel:
"Master Gu, you are joking. Master Gu has worked hard to provide disaster relief, and the emperor should only reward him. Why would he dismiss Master Gu?"
"Oh!"
The wine jug was thrown onto the table and broke into pieces, the wine spilled everywhere, and the aroma of wine filled the air!
Wei Shaofeng's legs went weak and he sat down on the ground with a plop!
Gu Jiusi wiped his hands and slowly turned around: "Is Lord Wei drunk? Why did he fall? Help Lord Wei up quickly! This is my first time as an official, and I really need your support. The Gu family is very clear about gratitude and grudges, so I thank you all in advance!"
Wei Shaofeng was helped up by many people. He could not say anything except: "Your Excellency is wise, Your Excellency is intelligent, we will do our best!"
A Hongmen Banquet filled with nonsense!
Back at the post station, Xu Shixian was still praising Gu Jiusi: "Everyone says you're not as smart as Gu Shian, but now it seems that the Gu family members are not easy to mess with. Your random punches really caught Wei Shaofeng off guard!"
Gu Jiusi was smug: "They are used to seeing scholars who value their reputation. Unfortunately, I am a freak. They have never seen me before, so naturally they have no way to deal with me!"
"However, your reputation in official circles will be bad in the future!"
"Hey, Brother Xu, what I said just now was not nonsense. My ambition is indeed not in the officialdom, so the reputation of this officialdom is shit to me! Besides, I have stirred up the atmosphere of the court with my own strength, which is also a proud thing in my life!"
Seeing that what Gu Jiusi said was not a lie, Xu Shixian shook his head and chuckled: "You Gu family members are really interesting!"
In the courtyard, a messy table,
"Master Wei, this...what should we do?"
"Yes, Lord Hedao wants to repair his riverbank, so we just don't care. Anyway, it's not us who are doing the work. At most, we can wait until he returns to Beijing, and we will be considered successful. But the governor doesn't give us face, and it seems that he wants to take our family's wealth!"
"Master Wei, you have to think of a solution. Among the thirty-two cities in the south of the Yangtze River, Anping has the most riverbanks. Although we have cut off some of them in previous years... there are also many tributes sent up. You can't let us bear all of them, right?"
"Let me make it clear first. I didn't take much before, and now it's not my turn to spit it out!" The person who spoke waved his hand and walked out of the door quickly.
"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by that? Didn't we all divide the money equally at that time? Why don't you admit it now?"
"He's right. There are always different amounts of silver. Your Sheng family got the most at that time. If something happens, you will naturally be the first to take the blame!"
Some people lit the fire, some people fanned the air, and the hall was in chaos.
Wei Shaofeng raised his eyebrows and slammed the table angrily: "What are you arguing about? The governor hasn't said anything yet, and you're already accusing me. If you end up in the Ministry of Justice, I'm afraid you'll be spitting out all the truth before the truth is revealed!"
"The prison of the Ministry of Justice?" Someone exclaimed, "Master Wei, you are so bold! With our status, we are lucky to be in the prison of the county government. I am afraid that once this reckless governor finds evidence, he will kill us with a knife!"
Wei Shaofeng's eyes were sinister: "Then don't let him know!"
The air in the hall stagnated, and someone asked in a trembling voice: "Has it really come to the point of killing the governor?"
"Pfft!"
Wei Shaofeng fell to the ground, and pointed at the person who was speaking with a trembling hand: "How dare you say such a thing today?"
The man quickly covered his mouth and nose, and after a while he let go slightly: "Master Wei, I understand, this can only be done quietly!"
"Fuck your mother!" Wei Shaofeng jumped up from the ground, looking crazy: "Come here, lock him up for me. As long as the governor doesn't leave Jiangnan, he is not allowed to be released!"
"Master Wei, you...I...you want to kill your relatives for the sake of justice?"
The man was dragged out by two big men, screaming in panic.
Wei Shaofeng chased him to the door and yelled, "Shut his mouth! He is not allowed to open his mouth except when eating!"
"Master Wei, calm down and don't be angry!" someone on the side advised.
Someone else asked with a worried look on his face, "What exactly is the solution? Sir Wei, please give us a clear idea so that we can do it quickly!"
Wei Shaofeng tugged at his collar, feeling extremely annoyed. These good-for-nothings were more active than anyone else when it came to dividing the money, but now that something was wrong, not a single one of them had an idea!
"Find all the account books related to the river embankment, including those from the past ten years. Find a few smart and experienced accountants to balance the accounts. If there are any that cannot be balanced, report them to the higher-ups. We can't let them take the lion's share and let us take the blame!"
"Also, look carefully for other insiders besides us during these ten years. If there are any disobedient ones, we should clean them up!"
This time, Wei Shaofeng took the action of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots. After all, killing the governor was absolutely impossible, but the disappearance of a few civilian officials was a common thing.
Everyone nodded. With an idea in mind, they could still get things done. Besides, they were experienced in doing these things and could do them easily!
But at the end, someone mentioned: "Three years ago, Weiwu Hou Shen Zhili was in Anping, and he knew it clearly..."
Wei Shaofeng touched his chin and frowned. This was a tricky problem.
In order to drag Shen Zhili into the water, they spent a lot of money and let Shen Zhili know many secrets that only the core figures knew.
I originally thought that when Shen Zhili returned to the capital, I could use this as a threat to give the capital an extra umbrella of protection from Jiangnan.
At the beginning, the situation was good. Shen Zhili rose rapidly to prominence due to his achievements in tampering with government affairs in Anping, and won the emperor's favor.
But the recent news made Wei Shaofeng and others very upset.
The fruits that were planted at great cost may now rot!
