Dongchang needs talents like you

The good-for-nothing brothers "parted ways" with a "You idiot" when they disagreed.

The two gathered people in their respective rooms at the same time, and when there were enough people, they were about to separate and act, with the goal of getting Lao Mama Tibetan to tell the truth, and started a strange race against time.

It's just so competitive!

In Tianzi No. [-] room, while directing the people around him to wash their hands and clean their clothes, Yu Xingchui analyzed with his confidant Fantian: "The advantage we have over the third master now is that he is a child?"

The third master refers to Chi Ning.

Uncle Jiang Zhiwei, second master Yu Xingchui, the confidantes around them are all called according to the ranking of the three brothers, as if they are really brothers.

Speaking of this "father", Chi Ning once made an astonishing statement - the essence of human beings is to want to be a father to others.He reasoned and analyzed calmly: "In previous dynasties, people called 'Daddy' as 'Grandpa', but now everyone is 'Grandfather'. Doesn’t that explain the problem?"

Thinking of this, Yu Xingchui was once again amused by the junior in his memory.

Fan Tian is reporting back: "Our advantage now is that we know that Lama Zang's boy has been kidnapped. He was kidnapped a long time ago, and she has been looking for him."

Fan Tian was one of the eunuchs who had been with Yu Xingchui all the time. After following Yu Xingchui to Shu, his accent unconsciously moved closer to his boss.

Another confidant, Ding Hai, said: "Then if we find someone for Lao Mama Zang, maybe we will be able to know that the secret she is hiding is Sazi."

"Don't count on me here (just kidding), I've been missing Lao Mama's men for so long, go and look for them? Can you find one for me?" Yu Xingchui doesn't know where to look for someone?The point is that this method is too inefficient, and it is easy to lose to the junior.

Sitting next door, Chi Ning heard the entire conversation between the senior brother and the two confidantes from Mr. Yuan, and then told Kucai and the others: "Now our advantage is that we know what the senior brother thought we didn't know. Content. Mrs. Tibetan’s husband, Fushang Wang, has been kidnapped, so go and investigate the details of this matter.”

"Will it be too tortuous?" Kucai has been helping Chi Ning compete with his senior brother for a long time, and has long been used to it, and actively offers suggestions.

"You don't have to worry about it, go and investigate first." Chi Ning made a final decision, he is not a person who likes to discuss things with the people below.

I just like the feeling of being the boss.

Moreover, many of Chi Ning's plans cannot be explained to others, such as this one now.He planned to wait until he knew enough information before starting his reasoning.After the reasoning is completed, ask Mr. Yuan one by one whether his guess is correct.If you guess wrong, keep guessing and keep narrowing down the range; if you guess right, it can't be regarded as cheating in the competition between him and his senior!

Yuan Jun... I really appreciate Chi Ning's shamelessness.

The two parties acted so swiftly, even thinking the same way - they decided to start the investigation with the kidnapping case of Mrs. Tibetan's husband, Wang Fushang.

Thus, at the gate of the small county government, people from the two parties met unexpectedly.Kucai looked at Fantian and Dinghai, they were really old acquaintances.

They spoke almost simultaneously:

"The third master's order?"

"Are you doing something for the second master?"

They are well aware of each other's current situation, and feel that it is enough to save face.The adults above them have to fight blindly, and the people below them can't help it.Everyone is involuntary, so there is no need to embarrass each other.

In fact, they were once curious about how Master Zhang Jingzhong taught such two apprentices who were overly competitive.

It was only later that they realized that the atmosphere of competition was brought up by the master himself, and their master was a very competitive person, and the only thing that gave way was the matter of letting the chief inspector be the first department in the palace.What others should really be curious about is how the big apprentice Jiang Zhiwei was taught to be so... "amazingly talented" and "maintain himself" under Zhang Jingzhong's wolf-like education of natural selection.

"fair play?"

"fair play!"

The two parties reached a consensus.

As far as the county government is concerned, Dongchang is naturally more terrifying.

Standing at the gate of the yamen, Kucai got the result he had expected a long time ago, and bowed his hands to Fantian and Dinghai: "Accept." Then he led the people from Dongchang and Jinyi Weiyu into the high steps of the yamen gate.

The magistrate greeted him personally, yes, they flattered Dongchang to this extent.However, the county magistrate did not accompany him anymore. He just invited the master to meet the inquiries and requirements of Kucai and others, and said everything they could say, and said what they couldn't say. They were all found out for Kucai and others to watch at will.

"Here are all the files related to the latest kidnapping case."

"This was two years ago."

"This was more than five years ago."

"???" Kucai looked confused, how many times has this wealthy businessman been kidnapped?

"Three times." The master smiled compensatingly, and answered everything.

Fantian and Dinghai acted anxiously at the door for a while, then they turned around and led them to look for other channels as if reluctantly.In fact, they went directly to Yu Xingchui and reported the good news that "the third master was really fooled!".

Yu Xingchui clapped his hands and celebrated, thinking, Junior Brother, Junior Brother, you are still too young.Our guest rooms are next to each other, so how could I not expect that you would eavesdrop?It is impossible not to eavesdrop, if you don't eavesdrop, then you are not his junior, and you must win by any means, this is the consistent education of the master to them.

Therefore, Yu Xingchui followed suit and set up a trick for his younger brother, asking Chi Ning to investigate the useless work of the kidnapping case, while he went through other investigation channels.

This time, it seems that he is about to win the competition between seniors and brothers. Alas, he is always so good, and he is also very distressed.

When Kucai read the dossier and returned to Chi Ning with the news, he also felt that they had been fooled by the second master again.

"Don't worry, tell me what you know slowly." Chi Ning doesn't care if this is his senior brother's trick, who is he afraid of if he has Mr. Yuan?This is a way to break the game with one force, and only he can succeed.

"The thing is like this..." Kucai could only suppress her worries and tell the story.

Wang Fushang's family relationship is very simple, except for an 80-year-old mother and an ex-wife who died young, the rest is Xu Xianzang's old mother.

There are no heirs and no concubines.

Because Wang Fushang's biggest character trait is - stinginess.Probably because of the hard life when I was a child, the wealthy businessman Wang became extremely stingy, the kind who would have to bargain even to buy a servant, let alone raise a concubine.One more mouth would cost more money. Fushang Wang was very distressed, so he would not engage in such a loss-making business.

The Wang family is not poor, even very rich, but you can tell from the appearance of the Wang family mansion. The wealthy Wang family is too stingy to bother to repair it.

Now that most people have lived three meals a day, the Wang family still maintains the old tradition of two meals a day, and the evening meal is mainly porridge.

At night, if there is no special need, the entire palace is not even allowed to light up the lights.

Many people can't understand Wang Fushang's life of being suspected of abusing himself, especially Chi Ning, who is a timely hedonist. He can't bear it after hearing half of it: "Is he crazy? He treats himself like this Stingy, what do you want to do with the money you saved?"

Spend again in the next life?

Let future generations enjoy the wanton squandering?

Have you ever heard of "It doesn't hurt to sell your father's land"?Instead of waiting for future generations to consume your struggle, it is better to do it yourself.

"It's just saving." Kucai understands Wang Fushang's psychology a little bit, because he likes to count money even if he has nothing to do. There is no reason, just by counting, he can gain a simple sense of security.

Chi Ning can't agree with this, but he also has to admit that such people do exist: "Go on."

Because of the rumors that the rich businessman Wang is stingy to the extreme, and the poverty of the rich county itself, everyone thinks that the rich businessman Wang is just generally rich, probably a little bit better than ordinary people, but it is not so rich.The folks in the village have gotten along fairly harmoniously for many years, and even occasionally beat the old lady of Wang Fushang's teeth.

This old lady is also used to living a stingy life. She always buys meat with a steelyard, and she is only willing to buy some during the holidays. It really makes people feel distressed.

It wasn't until one year that the news spread that the rich businessman had hidden a box of gold in the cellar. Only then did everyone realize that no matter how stingy the rich businessman looks, he was also in the grain and oil business. Where is the money?

Then, Wang Fushang was kidnapped.

At that time, Wang Fushang's original partner was still alive, and the kidnappers demanded fifty gold from the original partner.

What is the concept of fifty gold?One tael of gold equals 30 taels of silver, and 50 taels of gold equals 500 taels of silver.The parents and officials of the local county government only have three to four taels of silver a month, and their annual salary is 45 taels of silver.Assuming that the Lord Qingtian wants to take out the fifty gold, he needs to work for the court for more than 33 years without eating, drinking or spending money to get it together.

For a small place like Fu County, the 50 taels of gold was a sky-high price, and it was shocking that the kidnappers dared to demand so much.

In the end, Wang Fushang's original partner was brought out without even frowning.She personally took the ransom money to save people, her husband came back, and the money came back, but she died.

What exactly happened in the middle, no one knows, only know that not long after, Wang Fushang married Tibetan Laomao as a continuation.

Wang Fushang had the unfortunate experience of being kidnapped for the first time, so he naturally became cautious. The specific performance was that he was finally willing to ask for a nursing home.

Yes, Wang Fushang was stingy to this extent before. Not only did he not have a concubine at home, but he didn't even have a nursing home for basic housekeeping. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been kidnapped so easily.In the early years, it was thanks to the blessing that everyone thought he was a poor ghost that he could sit back and relax for so long.

When everyone wakes up and knows that he can take out 50 taels of gold, the situation will be completely different.

A few more years passed like this, Wang Fushang saw that he hadn't had any accidents for a long time, so he reverted to his old ways, and used one or another reason to make things difficult for everyone who looked after him in the nursing home.

Just after the last nursing home was miserable and asked to leave, Wang Fushang was kidnapped for the second time as expected.

This time the kidnappers demanded more ruthlessly and boldly, directly raising the price to 300 taels of gold.

Still taking the county magistrate as an example, he needs to work for the court for 200 years without eating or drinking to be able to scrape together the 300 taels of gold.

The relationship between Laomo Zang and Wang Fushang was okay. After thinking about it all night, she still prepared the ransom, and without notifying the local government, she asked her people to bring the money back to Wang Fushang.

At this point in the story, the rich businessman Wang can only be regarded as an unlucky guy who was cheated by his own stingy.

But soon, Chi Ning understood what it means that a poor person must have something to hate.When Wang Fushang was redeemed safely, he not only did not thank Mrs. Zang for her relentless redemption, but instead blamed her for giving the kidnappers so much gold.Neighbors and neighbors heard their quarrel.

"Did my money come from the wind? Why didn't my mother stop you?"

Yes, Wang Fushang's old lady even stopped her daughter-in-law from taking money to redeem her, and only asked her to cry poorly with the kidnappers, saying that they couldn't come up with so much money.

"Why didn't you report it to the officer? If the kidnapper doesn't let you report it, you won't report it? Then who will recover my three hundred gold now?"

This is a full 300 taels of gold.

The old lady Tibetan was so angry that she almost died on the spot, but after waking up, she fell silent strangely. Not only did she stop arguing, but she also repaid her complaints with kindness, spent the money she saved in the palace, and hired a new batch of high-quality workers for her husband. I don't want any more accidents to happen to him.Such a "good" daughter-in-law who has no complaints or regrets has won the praise of the entire Fu County.

"Then it's the latest time..." Kucai sighed, he really didn't know what this wealthy businessman was doing, he had a good hand and played poorly.

"Why was he kidnapped again?" Chi Ning frowned.

"Because he doesn't even want to spend the money that hides the old lady." Wang Fushang feels that the money that hides the old lady is also his own money, and, he thinks, everyone knows that he has lost 300 taels of gold because of the kidnapping, who would pay for it? How about kidnapping him again?

This anti-logic is amazing, but it gradually took root in Wang Fushang's mind.

As a result of not believing in evil, Wang Fushang was kidnapped for the third time in his life.

The kidnappers were quite arrogant, and they demanded 1000 taels of gold as soon as they opened their mouths.The master of the county government needs to work for at least seven or eight hundred years to earn so much money.The kidnappers felt that since the Wang family could easily take out three hundred gold before, they would definitely be able to take out one thousand gold now.

This time, the old lady Tibetan went to report to the official without saying a word, but she also secretly prepared a ransom.

Unfortunately, I don't know if the kidnappers heard the rumors from the government, or some unknown accident happened. In short, the kidnappers disappeared together with Wang Fushang, neither came to take the ransom, nor did they release Wang Fushang back.Everyone said that the ticket was torn up, only the old lady Zang didn't believe it, and was still waiting for her husband.

"In this story, do you know what is the most amazing thing?" Kucai also left the biggest twist unspoken.

"???" What else?Chi Ning was already full of melons.

"The rich merchant Wang's net worth is 8 taels of gold."

"!!!"What the hell?How many?Chi Ning was shocked.

8 taels of gold, which can be ranked among the wealthy businessmen in the country.Chi Ning even wanted to ask the wealthy businessman Wang from his soul, why are you willing to live in such a small county with so many properties?Live a life of two meals a day and porridge at night?Addicted to living in poverty?Also because of 50 taels of gold, you didn't even want the original match?

The world is really big, there are no wonders.

Lao Mama Tibetan is doing business in the palace while managing the wealth left by her husband. It can be said that she has reached the sky in one step.

After listening to the whole story of the kidnapping case, Chi Ning had a guess. It was a rather dark little idea. He didn't tell Kucai directly, but first asked Mr. Yuan whether his guess was right or not.

Mr. Yuan has to admire Chi Ning's thorough understanding of conspiracy theories and the dark side of human nature: [It's not far from ten. 】

【Perfect. 】

After Chi Ning got the correct answer, he informed Kucai to mobilize more Jinyiwei and Dongchang staff nearby.

Kucai was puzzled: "Are we organizing a manpower to rescue the hostages?" In fact, what he wanted to ask was how Chi Ning deduced the truth from such a simple story with no beginning and no end, and Sure that must be right?

"It's about the same." Chi Ning didn't say the whole thing, but just led the people and went straight to Laoma Zang's house with the driving letter.

The driving post is true, but the case it is targeting is not this.But it’s urgent, Dongchang has never been very particular about handling things, and it’s enough to reapply with the Ministry of Criminal Justice for a driving ticket. This part of the process can be completed with eyes closed.

Don't look at the dilapidated appearance of the Wang family, but the inside is full of holes. It's not what it used to be.

Tibetan Laomo is someone who will enjoy it.

Chi Ning said in his heart, look, it doesn't feel bad for the cub to sell his father's land, and even less for his wife.If you don't spend your own money, then you can only let others squander Emperor Wu.

When the troops from Dongchang and Jinyiwei had surrounded the Wang family tightly, Madam Zang had just completed another order to purify someone, with sharp techniques and decisive operations.Pain will definitely still hurt, but she managed to make the people in the palace feel the least pain as much as possible, and everyone who has done it said it was good.

Before she had time to take off the outermost layer of clothes that were accidentally stained with blood, she was "invited" to the main hall by the tall Jin Yiwei, and saw Chi Ning who had already been sitting in the main hall unceremoniously.

Chi Ning changed into official clothes, the most conspicuous bullfighting clothes, a skillful scholar's crown, and an embroidered spring knife on the table.A face with red lips and white teeth looks extraordinarily feminine in the dimly lit main hall.To put it simply, it is the standard appearance of a traitorous eunuch in the eyes of the world, and he does not look like a good person.

The old lady Tibetan was well-informed, and although her heart trembled for a moment, she quickly calmed down and went forward to salute: "The woman has seen the governor."

She didn't recognize who Chi Ning was, but she recognized the official rank corresponding to this row.

Only the admiral of the East Factory can have it!

"Grandma, please take a seat." Chi Ning's attitude was always polite, with a formulaic expression of a smile on the surface, and he stretched out his hand to Lao Mama in a "please" gesture, "I'm passing by here, It happens that there is something unclear, so please answer one or two."

Old Mama Zang looked puzzled. It wasn't that she didn't know what she had done, but that she had done too many things that might attract Dongchang. She really didn't have the clue to tell the difference. .She could only answer vaguely: "Just ask the governor, and the women will know everything, and they will say everything."

"I just don't know, what kind of matter is the governor wanting to ask? Please give me a simple reminder."

Chi Ning raised his eyebrows, he was too familiar with this kind of temptation, and it usually only appeared when the other party did more than one or two wrong things.Ironically, only when she has committed so many crimes that she has no way to find the real guilty conscience in the first place, can she maintain such "calmness".

Chi Ning didn't have time to guess how many immoral things Mr. Zang had done, he only focused on one thing.

"It's said that a husband and wife can be kind for a hundred days, how could you kidnap your husband so cruelly and tear up the ticket?" Chi Ning was really confused, what kind of a wolf is this, "Just because When you went to redeem him for the first time, he scolded you stingily?"

As a husband, the other party is really annoying, even a bit scumbag, and it is right to take revenge.

But it's not a sin to die, right?

"My lord, why did you say that?" Lao Mama Zang looked shocked. She probably hadn't encountered Chi Ning's straight-forward approach in so many years. She was a little flustered for a while, and didn't know how to deal with it, so she could only ask, "What are you talking about, why can't I understand?"

"Okay, if I didn't have sufficient evidence, how could I come to the door?" Chi Ning waved his hand, too lazy to talk nonsense, "The first and second kidnapping of your husband were done by others, but the third time was your careful attention. The design is not for ransom, but for tearing up tickets. He doesn't know where to end, and after life and death, you can sit on the wealth of the royal family and don't have to worry about being missed by the clan in the village because of becoming extinct... Let's go , can we just skip the nonsense and get to where it really works?"

Seeing that Chi Ning was so determined, Mrs. Zang was successfully bluffed.She thought she was smart, and felt that she heard the meaning of Chi Ning's words - Chi Ning didn't really want to arrest her because of this incident, but to use it to force her to tell other things she knew.

"What do you want to know?"

Chi Ning glanced at Mrs. Zang with satisfaction. Otherwise, he likes to talk to smart people, which saves the unnecessary struggle of going to the Yellow River, and saves both of them a lot of time. of good use.

Chi Ning waved his hand, and the others retreated, clearing the main hall completely.

"I would like to know when Concubine Wei Gui asked you to administer medicine to the new emperor."

This sentence was like a thunderbolt, striking Laoma Zang's celestial cover, no matter how strong her heart was, she could not conceal her paleness and panic at this moment.Why, why would anyone know about this!

Without looking at Lao Mama Zang's expression, Chi Ning knew that he guessed right, because he had already got the confirmation from Mr. Yuan.

This is the real reason why the empress dowager kept the Tibetan mother until today - she wanted to leave a personal certificate to prove that she did not do anything to the emperor's heir.

This statement seems unreasonable at first glance. After all, judging from the queen mother's situation at the time, she didn't need to explain anything to anyone. Her son was already the emperor, and she was a carefree queen mother. What was she afraid of?

but……

What if Concubine Wei didn't just kill the dragon son and phoenix girl who was still in the concubine's belly?

Chi Ning really doesn't know whether Concubine Wei Gui loves or hates Emperor Su. Judging from her actions, she should hate more, right?Not only did she want him to have no son, she also didn't want him to have a grandson.

This inference is actually quite easy to draw. Think about the fact that the princes of the generation of King Jing, Emperor Tianhe, and Emperor Xin basically have few offspring. What else is there not to understand?When Concubine Wei was alive, she was not only jealous of other concubines being able to have children, she was also jealous of other princes and concubines being able to have children.

Chi Ning also deliberately recalled that when Concubine Wei Guifei was alive, many emperors and grandchildren died inexplicably, only Wen Huaigu barely stood up.

But how can Concubine Wei guarantee that after her death, not many grandchildren will come to the world?

That could be her addressing the problem at its source.

In other words, most of the princes of the new emperor's generation have lost the ability to be a father.

This is the king bomb prepared by the queen mother.The reason why she kept Lao Mo Zang was to convince Tian Hedi that she really had nothing to do with this matter when the Dongchuang incident happened.

It shouldn't be very early when the Queen Mother knew about this, otherwise she would not have allowed Concubine Wei to mess around like this no matter how coldly she looked on.It's a pity that the Queen Mother knew it too late, and when it was too late, she could only leave Lao Mama Zang to clear herself up.Chi Ning reasonably speculated that it should be Wei Guifei's crazy concubine who told the Queen Mother what she had done when she was forced to be buried with Emperor Su.

The fight between the Queen Mother and Concubine Wei was too famous. She wanted to prove that she had nothing to do with this matter, and no one would believe it, because only the sons of King Jing and Emperor Tianhe were their own sons.

For this reason, the Empress Dowager had no choice but to leave the old lady Tibetan to win people's trust.At least to convince his son that she really wasn't so cruel.Youqin's only motherly love was given to her son Tianhedi.

But the world is unpredictable, Tianhedi disappeared early.

But fate is so magical, and the opportunity for the queen mother to help her grandson Wenchen become the prince came from this.

In other words, the fundamental purpose of the Empress Dowager to create the blood baby case is to let the new emperor find out the truth of the year by himself.It doesn't matter whether it is announced or not, she just wants Xindi to ask himself a question.

If we say, most of the princes don't have the ability to be fathers.

So, where did the royal grandchildren come from?

The author has something to say:

*In the article, a rich businessman was kidnapped because he was stingy and dismissed his bodyguard...

The inspiration comes from the real social news of the last century, the wealthy businessmen in Hong Kong (I forget who they are, I just remember a rough idea).

Of course, it is just inspiration, the beginning and end of the story, the relationship between the characters, and who is the kidnapper are all artistic creations in the text, which have nothing to do with reality. (Important things are said three times.)
