Clam Pearl

Chapter 86

However, the Wukang case involved a lot of people. In a blink of an eye, Zhuang Chengxiu rushed to Zezhou, saw Fu Ji, and when Fu Ji took out the evidence, he almost wanted to vomit blood from the envoy Zhuang.

I have seen bold ones, but I have never seen such bold ones.How are you?

Ever since Meng Jidu, Marquis of Anji, rescued her and died in Lingshan three years ago, the former queen's family was weak, with only two younger brothers, and Meng Jidu had no sons to worship.

That Meng Jishi was originally a concubine, but he was born in a wealthy family but he had never seen real wealth, so when he became a noble, he was dazzled, and he regarded the land that Meng Jidu had previously managed as his private property.

Two years ago when Beijing was rebuilt, some houses were burned down in Anji Hou Mansion due to the rebellion of King Mi. Meng Jishi had just become a Marquis, and his backer went away again, so he had to take care of his face, and I don’t know who made a deal with him. It was a bad idea, so he took out two-thirds of the family's money to build a famous mansion in Beijing, and painted a big front to save face.

Meng Jishi had never been educated as a prostitute since he was a child, and he didn't even understand the way of keeping success. He didn't know how to make good use of the golden mountain in his hand. The governor of Wukang County was called Wu Yunqing. hands and feet, to accumulate some strength for the future crown prince's enthronement.Unexpectedly, Meng Jishi didn't think so, he regarded Wukang as a reward from the late emperor and gave it to his family's treasury, and after being a marquis for a few days, he came and went in Beijing with a high profile, spending money like flowing water.Seeing that he was stupid, others naturally coaxed him, coming and going again and again, and in less than three years, Anjihou's mansion was left with a shelf.

As soon as a person is poor, he changes. The newly appointed Lord Meng Jishi, Meng Hou Ye, started his business for the sake of his face. In a few years, through the power of his family, he quietly bid the officials of Wukang to buy the friends who play with him and get along with him. Money is naturally a support, and it comes and goes with the left hand and the right hand.There is a reason why no one in Shangjing noticed the secret of his business.

Firstly, Anjihou Mansion was run by his elder brother Meng Jidu and his sister's ex-queen for many years, and the court was protected by Taifu Hu's party. In addition, after the emperor succeeded to the throne, the people's livelihood has not been noticed yet.

Seeing this, Meng Jishi's power has been managed in such a strange way, but when it comes to this, he must also thank his brother-in-law, Yan Jinyi.This Yan Jinyi is naturally not a good seed. He was said to be a low-level bastard in Shangjing, but later because of his sister-in-law, he got a real shortage, so he naturally used the means of being a bastard to become an official.Meng Jishi has no one to use, and he must obey his words. The two people get together because of the embarrassing fate of the previous life, as good as a mother.

This is not this year, just received a large amount of tax money today, and then paid out a sum of nearly 300 million guan in comfort money with a wave of his hand.Coincidentally, this year's situation is not good, and the subordinate officials in Shangjing have gradually completed the transition, and those who keep their word have become the power of today's Emperor Chengdi.From this moment on, the shadow of Emperor Tianshou gradually faded out of Daliang's history.

There are fewer and fewer places for Meng Jishi to come to make money, and he caught up with the implementation of tax transparency in various places, so the tricky way of making money was cut off.In March, a group of tribal horse dealers came to Hetao from the west, bringing dozens of high-quality famous horses to Beijing for sale.For a while, as long as the houses in Beijing had a big face, they would buy one or two horses and go back to decorate them.

Is that cheap horse? Even the lowest priced one costs more than a thousand.

Speaking of it, there was an antecedent reason for this matter, and I don't know what happened. After Meng Ji became the hereditary prince, he had to face off against Gu Maochang, the fourth master of the Pingguo Duke's family.The two have deep grievances, and there are often conflicts in Beijing, and Meng Jishi doesn't know how much he has suffered.Yan Jinyi's going to Wukang was also tricked by Gu Siye and the uncle of Yongguo's family, Hou Bai, and forced him to go to Beijing.

These two masters let go, as long as they are there, no one from the Yan family is allowed to be there, otherwise they will look down on them.

That Yan Jinyi used to be a dog beside these two, if he hadn't climbed up to Gu Maochang, he wouldn't have had the wealth of his Yan family.There are many "dogs" in Beijing, but Yan Jinyi is the only one who is pregnant with the rules. Therefore, going to his house has become the account that most dudes refuse to contact.For these dandies, let alone a mere Anji Hou Mansion, even if the late emperor is still alive, how can they look down on you?

However, when the famous horse arrived in Shangjing, it was naturally highly praised by a group of dandies, no matter what tricks they used behind the scenes, anyway, it came and went, and whoever didn't buy two horses back.That Meng Jishi was isolated from the circle, and I was annoyed in my heart. I didn't even want to buy it when I went to the horse market that day, just to see it.Unexpectedly, his enemy Gu Maochang spent 25 guan with a big wave of his hand, and took seven horses back.Among them, the black unicorn bought for his little seventh uncle was worth [-] guan.

When he was leading the horse, he didn't know what was wrong, Gu Maochang glanced at An Jihou, and suddenly Meng Jishi felt that this was slapping him in the face and underestimating him.As soon as this man's forehead was bleeding, he ordered people to spend more than 40 yuan to buy ten famous horses and go home. He held a banquet for more than ten days in a row and invited people to come and watch the horses.Now, having famous horses in the family means that Meng Ji's family bought more than a dozen of them at once, including BMW and Rolls-Royce.This time, the old man in Anjihou's mansion was completely emptied by him.

But Meng Jishi didn't know that Gu Maochang spent a lot of money, but what he spent was the public funds of the Ministry of War. The horses he bought followed the orthodox way of reimbursement by the Ministry of War.Except for the little uncle's black unicorn, which his father bought privately to amuse his younger brother, the others are not the Gu family's money.Do you think everyone is as stupid as Meng Jishi!

With no money in hand, Meng Jishi naturally had to think of a way, and by coincidence, Najing had just allocated a sum of money to go to Wukang.So Meng Jishi wrote two letters to Wu Yunqing and Yan Jinyi asking for money.The first thing he asked was to borrow money, asking for 50 guan, if he didn't give it, he would still be fine.

Then Wu Yunqing is a steamed stuffed bun, anyone can bite him, and Meng Jidu valued his honesty when he used him.Now, Wukang is Yan Jinyi's caller, so he can't do anything. He was almost forced to hang himself. The dog was in a hurry and wanted to jump over the wall. Wu Yunqing was in a hurry, so he came up with a bad idea. Wan Guan took it out and shared the money with the top and bottom minds in Wukang County.

No matter who you are or what kind of official you are, you have to share the money. As long as you get the money, you have to make a blood contract, so that everyone can get rich together, and no one should say anything.Since the superiors dared to take it, then naturally there are still others to follow. Except for the 200 million yuan, they are still reaching out. Therefore, except for Dingmin in Zezhou who can get the consistent money, the rest of the Wukang people in counties and towns, In the end, what fell into his hands was nothing more than a few hundred dollars, and some of them were just a roll of rotten silk cloth.

That day, Shi Wu returned home and talked to his old father about his adopted brother.The county magistrate of Shi has been honest all his life, and loves his official voice the most.A few days ago, he had just distributed [-] guan, and was forced to make another blood contract. He suddenly felt that his lifelong innocence was gone, he would not be able to see the people, and he would not be able to enter the ancestral grave.

After much deliberation at home, the old man still took his own blood deed and made a list of names he knew for his son.Hey, it was also because of his bad luck that his family used a handyman to get the news, and this handyman happened to be somewhat distantly related to Yanzhou Tongjuan Shi Xinchun.

Because it happened to be in the middle of the afternoon that day, and there were quite a few people coming and going in the courtyard, the yamen servant also heard a few vague words, so he avoided it. He only heard that he was going to sue, how to sue, how to say, He didn't hear clearly.

Within two days, Shi Xinchun got the news that he was trying to curry favor with the Shangguan, but he had no way out, it was a disaster, so he personally sent the news to Yan Jinyi overnight.

When Yan Jinyi found out, he was also scared to death. For the sake of his family and life, or for the sake of wealth, he found someone and quietly went to Zezhou. He chose a time when the night was dark and the wind was high, and he came and wiped out Shi Wu's family. He opened the door and lit a fire.

I thought this matter was over, but when counting the corpses, Shi Wu's three-year-old son, Shinan, was missing.On that day, Shi Wu's family was considered to be a blessing. On that day, Fu Ji sent all the people into the county to deliver vegetable boxes. When Shi Wu heard that the front yard was not good, he was alerted. Heather's sons were delivered with a full house.Therefore, the servant-master escaped with his life.

The lord of a county has been wiped out, so Wukang County will naturally have to explain to Shangguan.Na Shi Xinchun was arranged to finish, he thought about it, his relative and handyman pointed him out, and it happened that Shi Wu had a sworn brother who made a fortune in a foreign country.Maybe Shi Wu's son can be found there, but if he can't find it, what can a three-year-old say?The most urgent thing at the moment is to get a Qiaoer who tops the tank.

Shi Xinchun was overjoyed when he heard the words, and without a word, he killed his relatives first, and then immediately sent the servants to Liaobei, and locked Fu Ji.Fu Xiaolang knew that now he was in Wukang, which was Yan Jinyi's territory, if he ran away, his family would be in danger!If he dared to talk about the Gu family and that he was an official, then the lives of the whole family would be forfeited.Therefore, when the yamen servant came to lock him, he followed without saying a word.

In this regard, he failed a class and was convicted of the crime of drafting.In private, he also suffered several severe punishments, Fu Ji naturally refused to recruit, but this is irrelevant...

The Wukang murder case was like this before and after.

At the Shangjing County Government, Gu Zhao took the Wukang case record that Ah Run showed him, and read it back and forth several times.He could have guessed one or two about this matter a long time ago, but he didn't expect that it would involve such a wide range of things. What did he often see in his previous life?

Now, Gu Zhao also wants to smash the case in front of him!Is there anything more hateful than this?Depressed, Gu Zhao raised his hand and patted the case several times.

"I'm not angry, why are you dead?" Ah Run sat in the room with a brush, writing the Heart Sutra.

Yes, he was not angry, and he wrote three volumes of the Heart Sutra today without stopping.

Now, it's early winter in Shangjing, and when the weather gets cold, Gu Zhao shrinks back into his nest and doesn't want to go out anymore.Ah Run felt sorry for him, and felt that he was trapped, but it made Ah Zhao trapped with him.Therefore, on weekdays, if he could not call, he would not call, and he brought all the official affairs to the county government to do.

Gu Zhao was angry: "This boy Maochang is full of bad things. When I go out, I have to beat him! But I don't know, it turns out that the root cause of Wukang's disaster lies with him!"

Ah Run was taken aback, and raised his face to look at him: "Fool, what are you doing beating him? If you want to say... I should reward him for this."

Gu Zhao was stunned for a moment, he was so clever and immediately understood, that's right, although the former crown prince was disabled, but now he is also a vassal king, so Wukang's power is naturally the power of the former crown prince, so he was caught by Ah Run Stay, one size fits all!I really want to give this kid a credit.But, let's talk about this matter... Anyone can pick the lead, but Gu Zhao doesn't want the Gu family to pick the lead.

Therefore, Gu Zhao thought for a while, then rolled up the file on the case, knocked on the table and said, "That kid is too free. After the New Year, I hurriedly sent him out and told him to go to the west with Mao Bing..."

"West side?" As soon as Ah Run retracted the brush in his hand, there was a killing intent, so this volume of the Heart Sutra was discarded and could no longer be written.

Ah Run put away the Heart Sutra, took a new roll of beginnings, and asked while writing: "West? I was cheated out of money, and it still hurts me now. Your heart... is biased, take my tax money, and coax your children to play!"

Gu Zhao squinted at him and didn't say a word, but after seeing that he had written half a volume of scriptures, he suddenly said: "The famous horses in the west can sell for [-] guan in one batch!"

Swish... Another stroke of crooked writing!

Ah Run raised his head, took a long breath, then looked up at Gu Zhao: "You're playing tricks on me again."

Gu Zhao spread his hands and expressed regret: "Yes, I have been imprisoned by you for two months, and I can't get out. You still don't allow me to vent my anger?"

Ah Run smiled, and didn't blame him, but just persuaded a few words with distress: "The weather is bad, you stay at home obediently, I will ask them to find some good tricks for you, if it really doesn't work, we two... just go out quietly, You can also walk around here."

Gu Zhao waved his hand: "It's cold, I'm afraid of this, especially during the New Year, when I have to kneel and worship, visit relatives, and give New Year's gifts, I beg you, shut me up! I don't like to deal with it." Well, who knows what my old brother is going to do."

"Well, that's what you said. Don't whine about doing nothing tomorrow, and get cocooned when you have time to spare!" Ah Run tapped him with a pen, took another volume of scriptures, and just wrote a few strokes, suddenly raised his head and said with a smile: "I'm not angry anymore, what else should I copy?" After finishing speaking, he flicked up his pen, stood up and came to Gu Zhao's warm couch, took off his boots, and got into Gu Zhao's little bed.

That's right, Gu Zhao was under the blanket, wearing an undershirt, with two Mrs. Tang on his feet, and there was a desk next to him on the right side, and there were seven or eight plates of snacks on the desk.Next to the snacks are the various provinces and places. When there are interesting things and anecdotes, Ah Run ordered someone to write them down to entertain Gu Zhao.

The two huddled together for a while to warm up. Gu Zhao leaned on Ah Run's waist, held up the record of the Wukang case, and said, "A famous horse in the west was sold for [-] yuan in Beijing. I People, I like to think about these interesting things. My old brother said that most of the horses used in the army nowadays are generals of the fifth rank or above. It’s over. As for the other soldiers, most of them are riding horse mules and donkey mules, right?”

Ah Run took a grate by hand, and was giving Gu Zhao's hair one by one. Hearing what he said, he didn't stop his hands, but just snorted, which was regarded as a response.

Gu Zhao thought for a while and said, "The west side is the territory of my fifth elder brother, called Maochang. Maobing will go there, first look at the water and soil, and then decide on a place to find some skilled shepherds in Hetao, and set up a shepherd of the military department there. Let's go to the racecourse... oops!"

Gu Zhao suddenly covered his head and sat up, screaming for pain in his mouth. He stretched out his hand and gave Ah Run's arm and said, "You don't know how to comb someone's hair! Lie down! I'll do it!"

Ah Run immediately threw away the grate, and obediently lay on Gu Zhao's waist, squinting his eyes, and began to enjoy himself.
