Hubu is Yang Songcheng's private territory, but this time someone is calling for wildfire, impeaching Yanman, the doctor of Hubu, for corruption.
Yan Man is Yang Songcheng's confidant, and this impeachment is just a slap in Yang Songcheng's face.
The impeached official will say goodbye to his family before leaving home every day, and caring people are also waiting for his results.
Yang Songcheng has encountered countless opponents over the years. As time goes by, those people have long since disappeared, but he is still prosperous and wealthy.
After King Wei took over, everyone was extremely happy and wanted to see the fight between the two men.
This is a secret battle between the emperor and the father-in-law. If you can witness it with your own eyes, you can brag about it to your children and grandchildren when you get old.
In the first game, King Wei tortured Yan Man to no avail.
defeat!
Then King Wei disappeared.
"He's waiting for Hu Bu to reveal his flaws!" Zheng Qi sneered.
In the Huang family's blacksmith shop, the sound of forging iron is still the same.
The emperor was also quite dissatisfied in the palace.
"He has always sought power, but now that I have given it to him, he has given up on himself!"
Han Shitou smiled and said: "Maybe the king is tired."
After all, the journey from Northern Xinjiang to Chang'an is very hard.
There was a hint of meanness in the emperor's eyes, "He is as strong as an ox, how can he be tired? Look! He knew he was no match for Yang Songcheng, so he backed down!"
Han Shitou advised: "The head of the state is very capable, and the household department is managed by him so tightly that no one else can do anything. Take your time!"
"You traitor!" The emperor squinted his eyes, with a sinister look in his eyes that Han Shitou was familiar with.
He knew that if King Wei couldn't give a good answer, the emperor wouldn't mind slapping him over and then making a target.
Later, he walked out of the opera garden, stood outside, and said softly: "Little boy, cheer up, we haven't seen enough of this excitement!"
…
On the fifth day, King Wei finished all the work.
"Take a rest for a few days!" King Wei has been hammering hard these days, and Sister Huang can't stop trying to persuade her, she feels very distressed.
"Um!"
King Wei took off his clothes. Even though they were married, Huang Damei still blushed a little when she looked at the strong body, "Don't be seen."
"Why?"
Sister Huang said confidently: "Of course only I can see my man's body!"
King Wei said casually, "By the way, the accounts of the business I invested in will be settled in the next two days. I'll go take a look and bring back the dividend money."
Sister Huang's eyes lit up, "How much can we divide?"
King Wei said: "I don't know, but I think there are hundreds of dollars."
"Oh! That's great!"
Huang Damei said happily: "We have made a lot of money these days, and we have earned back the rent of the store this month. Here is our money.
If there are hundreds more money, I will save them all.
If the eldest son wants to study in the future, he must have a good teacher to study. The training of a good teacher is not cheap.
There are also tuition fees and gifts to the teacher every year... He must wear good clothes for studying, otherwise his classmates will laugh at him..."
King Wei glanced at her flat belly and coughed dryly, "Then, keep it!"
He gave a few more instructions before going out.
"Come back early."
Sister Huang leaned against the door and waved.
"knew."
Turning around the alley, two plainclothes guards were waiting.
"Has it been found?"
"Your Majesty, we investigated Yan Man's relationship and found out that he, Aye, had an illegitimate son back then. The illegitimate son wanted to admit his family, but was kicked out. Later he started a small business in Hukou."
"Does anyone remember this?"
"No one remembers what happened more than twenty years ago. We found out about it only after we found a servant of the Yan family."
"What about the servants?"
"The servant committed a crime and was kicked out. Now he is at home."
"Can someone keep an eye on it?"
"Someone is watching."
"Not enough!" King Wei looked at the guards and said, "Lead the way!"
The guard was puzzled, "Aren't you going to find an illegitimate child?"
After leaving Chang'an City, we drove all the way to a village more than twenty miles away.
"The old servant is right here, and the illegitimate son is more than fifty miles away."
"An illegitimate child can also inherit some money. The Yanman family is famous for their generosity. How could they lose an illegitimate child? They can also gain a good reputation by giving them some money."
"What the king means..."
"If it's not possible, it's just a cover-up, specially reserved to scare people away. Let people go find the illegitimate child, and do it in an honest and fair manner."
King Wei entered the village, and the guards who stayed behind came to see him.
"What about the old servant?"
"Inside."
King Wei should go in first.
"Hey! You were still here just now!" The guard was stunned.
King Wei pointed behind him, "Stop!"
A guard flew away.
Not long after, the old servant was brought back.
"Who do you want to report to?" King Wei asked.
The old servant trembled all over and kowtowed vigorously.
"Want to die? You are a loyal servant, but I am here. If you dare to die, your whole family will be exiled to Taiping in Northern Xinjiang."
The old servant raised his head, "You..."
Huang Ping said calmly: "Your Majesty is here, who do you think you can hide those things about Yan Man from?"
"The villain said it."
The old servant spoke.
"The Yan family has been corrupt since Alang..."
"There is still inheritance!" Huang Ping said with a smile. He thought to himself, no wonder he had to throw away an illegitimate child. If not, there would be many twists and turns.
"...The money is all down there."
The old servant led the way and everyone went to the backyard.
"Right here."
"dig!"
It didn't take long for a hole to be dug.
"There are steps."
Opening the wooden door blocked by the dirt, a guard threw a torch down, and soon the flames dimmed.
"Wait a little longer."
Later, another torch was thrown down, but this time it did not go out.
"Go down and have a look."
A guard went down with a torch.
"many!"
he exclaimed.
King Wei walked down.
This is a basement.
There are boxes on both sides of the basement.
The guards have opened several boxes, which contain either copper coins or gold and silver.
When the old servant saw this, his legs went weak and he cried: "Alang, it's over! It's all over!"
King Wei said: "Count it!"
Huang Ping returned to the ground, took a deep breath, "Comfortable."
A guard said: "Mr. Huang, why didn't the king go to find the officials who were involved in this incident? Instead, he came to find the old servant of the Yan family."
Huang Ping said: "You can't find anything by checking the accounts. As for the officials who were related to this incident, I also think that we should check, but once it is done, Yang Songcheng of the Ministry of Revenue will take action and use various means to stop it.
At that time, the king will sit on the wax.
Therefore, the king seems to be blacksmithing, but in fact he is trying to confuse Yang Songcheng and others, but he asked you to wait and check on the old servant of the Yan family.
Think about it, if the Yan family embezzles money, who will transport it? Who will take care of it? It will be their trusted servants.
Otherwise, how could the Yan family and his son have dug such a big hole and brought in so much money?"
The guard said sincerely: "Your Majesty, you are wise!"
"Yes!" Huang Ping stroked his beard, "You are so wise that I feel a little ashamed of myself."
"King!"
King Wei came up and seemed to have heard the conversation between them.
"I have no intention of confusing Yang Songcheng."
"Then the king's blacksmithing is..." Huang Ping was a little stunned.
"Business is great."
…
The amount of money found in the basement was shocking.
"He is so rich! No wonder he wants to leave an illegitimate child outside. On the one hand, it is probably self-destruction, and on the other hand, he is a target. Anyone who wants to investigate the Yan family must first investigate this illegitimate child."
After finding out, someone said they should go back and get someone as soon as possible.
"Don't worry." King Wei was sitting under the eaves, with an old servant kneeling next to him. "This king will send people to find the illegitimate son. If the Yan family learns, they will definitely send people here to warn. If you catch this person, you will have solid evidence.
!”
The next day, early morning.
"Someone!"
There were shouts outside, followed by sounds of fighting.
King Wei is still sleeping.
"Caught it, it's Yan Jiazi!"
"Do you want to report it to the king?"
"The king has already expected it, there is no need for it."
King Wei woke up and saw the captured Yan Jiazi.
Someone suggested, "Your Majesty, the Yan family should be sealed off to prevent the news from leaking."
King Wei shook his head, "No need, I will return to Chang'an immediately, just in time to see Yang Songcheng's ugly appearance."
Huang Ping grinned, "That would be lively."
…
Yan Man has many things to do.
After a busy morning, Master Yan... Yan Man happily made himself a cup of tea, then took out the dry food... dry biscuits he brought from home, and ate two tasteless dry biscuits with the tea.
He burped and said with satisfaction: "Comfortable."
"Mr. Yan, someone is looking for you at home." The disciple came to report.
"I know." Yan Man stood up and went out.
On the way, I met Yang Songcheng who was about to go out for dinner.
"I've met the father-in-law."
"Well!" Yang Songcheng looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze, "Be careful, be careful!"
"yes."
When Yan Man arrived outside the imperial city, he felt nervous when he saw that the person coming was his brother, "But something big happened at home?"
"Second brother, it's bad, there's been an investigation over there."
Yan Man shook his body and said, "Who?"
"Say it's King Wei."
Yan Man smiled and said: "I know, let's go back!"
"Second brother, I've been discovered, what should I do?"
Yan Man turned around and walked steadily.
After returning to his own duty room in the household department, Yan Man's body suddenly relaxed.
"Mr. Yan!" The clerk noticed something was wrong with him.
"It's okay. When the father-in-law comes back, remember to remind me!"
"yes!"
Yan Man sat in the duty room. In the darkness, he covered his face with his hands and began to sob.
"I can't be an official anymore! I can't be an official anymore!"
Then, he cheered up and said, "Even if you are exiled and suffer for a few years at most, the father-in-law can bring my family back. If you can't be an official, then go into business."
Later, Yang Songcheng came back.
"The head of the state, Yan Man, please see me."
"Um!"
Yang Songcheng nodded.
Yan Man came in.
Suddenly he knelt down.
Yang Songcheng raised his head and said calmly: "When this matter came out, you tried every possible means to explain it, and even swore poisonous oaths. But I know that there must be a reason for the groundless rumors. You must be unclean! Hmm!"
Yan Man lowered his head, "The official has failed to live up to the high expectations of the state leader!"
"Say!" Yang Songcheng rubbed his eyebrows.
In his opinion, more than 200,000 yuan is just a small sum of money, and it cannot compare with the amount that the emperor casually rewards people around him.
After being exiled for several years, Yan Man was brought back. How could the officials under his command not act enthusiastically when they saw him?
The first essential quality for a superior person is to protect one’s weaknesses!
"Starting from the lower official Aye..."
Yang Songcheng slowly raised his head.
"Aye, who was demoted, took more than 600,000 yuan."
Yang Songcheng's cheeks trembled slightly.
Yan Man's father was also a member of the Yang family!
Yan Man had no talent for studying and could not pass the imperial examination, so he was assigned to start as a minor official. With Yang's help, he could go smoothly.
"How much corruption have you committed?" Yang Songcheng said calmly.
"The lower official is corrupt... 713,502 yuan."
What a big corrupt official!
There was a big moth in his heart, and Yang Songcheng was furious.
"Xiaguan, I have no use for a single penny! The head of the state!" Yan Man kowtowed, "Xiaguan embezzled fifty yuan for the first time. With that bunch of money, Xiaguan was so flustered that he hid it at home. The second time, the third time... I didn’t dare to spend any money because I was worried about being discovered.”
Yang Songcheng's eyelids twitched, "Wizard!"
This huge corrupt man actually collected the corrupt money without using any of it.
"Then, what are you doing when you are corrupt?"
"Xiaguan, Xiaguan can't help it."
It is this type of people who are said to be those who forget their own righteousness at the sight of profit.
Yan Man kowtowed, "The crime of being a low-ranking official is extremely heinous. I beg the abbot to punish him severely."
The flavor of these words is very interesting... Please punish me severely, this is a private matter, not a national law.
"That's fine!"
Yang Songcheng said: "You, Aye, were a member of the Yang family back then. The Yang family has put a lot of effort into your father and son over the years, but you have disappointed me."
Yan Man raised his head, with tears streaming down his face, "I'm a low-ranking official and deserve death!"
Yang Songcheng nodded.
"Then, just die!"
Yang Songcheng picked up a document.
The figure of the clerk beside him passed by.
He grabbed Yan Man's throat with one hand and used force.
The sun is shining brightly today.
The room is quite bright according to the photo.
Suddenly the light in the room dimmed.
A sense of oppression made Yang Songcheng slowly raise his head.
The clerk looked up.
The burly King Wei stood outside the duty room.
Watch this scene.
asked:
"Quiet?"
…
Probably because of some benefits from practicing cultivation, the emperor is in a good mood today.
"Your Majesty, medicinal tea!"
Han Shitou presented herbal tea.
The emperor took a few sips, shook his head and handed it back, "You can't drink more. I drank too much last time and my nosebleeded at night."
"Yes!" Han Shitou took the cup, walked out, and poured the remaining medicinal tea aside.
It was winter, but the grass on the edge was full of green.
"Shaojian Han."
Wang Shou is here.
"What's the matter?" Han Shitou asked.
Wang Shou said: "King Wei went to the countryside."
"knew."
Han Shitou went in to report.
"Why did he go to the countryside?" The emperor said coldly: "When he comes back, you go there and tell him not to let down my high hopes."
Otherwise, where does it come from?
"yes."
A chamberlain came in to report.
"Your Majesty, the head of the country would like to see you."
"What's the matter?"
"Say I'm asking for forgiveness!"
The abbot smiled bitterly as soon as he came in.
"A minor official in the household department colluded with Yan Man for corruption. After the incident, the minor official killed Yan Man and then committed suicide. I have not been strict in my control. Please punish me."
The emperor's heart was moved, but he held it back, and then he hit it hard and achieved a small goal of his.
After Yang Songcheng left, the emperor said: "Go and check!"
"Your Majesty, Wang Shou is here."
"Let him in."
Wang Shou had not seen the emperor for a long time. After kneeling down, he couldn't help but choke.
The emperor said calmly: "You have done well recently."
Wang Shou was very excited, "This slave is your Majesty's domestic slave. Wherever your Majesty points your finger, I will do whatever it takes, even if it means going through fire and water!"
"Say it!"
"Yes. Your Majesty, King Wei had previously forced his way into the Zhang's room, and then it was reported that Yan Man was killed by a minor official."
The emperor's brows raised, "It seems that my traitorous son has discovered something, so the abbot can only silence him and throw out a person close to him as a scapegoat."
"Your Majesty, this is a memorial from King Wei."
In the memorial, King Wei told the story of the investigation.
"I, I underestimated him in the past!"
A flicker of fear flashed in the emperor's eyes, which quickly dissipated.
If he’s not his legitimate son, he’s just cannon fodder!
"Go to Concubine Shu!"
Except for the imperial concubine, the emperor had not been to any other concubine for several years, so when he arrived, the women in the harem went crazy.
Arrive at Concubine Shu's place.
"Your Majesty is sick."
In the palace, Concubine Shu, lying on the bed, said softly:
