I am the king of the dead

Chapter 556 Don't dare to spend a penny!
Why did Zhang Feng start attacking Jin Lian's family less than a month after Jin Lian left, and even found some speculative evidence, and poured dirty water on Jin Fuan's body?
In fact, Zhang Feng is for the position of Minister of the Ministry of household affairs.

Standing in Zhang Feng's position, his immediate superior always reprimanded him furiously, and even looked down on him all day long, but treated another competitor, fellow countryman, and relative Shen Yi never criticizes, even some errands will be transferred from Zhang Feng's hands to Shen Yi's.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Feng would naturally think that Jin Lian would recommend Shen Yi instead of Zhang Feng.

This is why Zhang Feng chose this time to do it.

Jin Lian is dead. If Jin Lian's family complains that the emperor treats Jin Lian poorly, His Majesty will definitely have some opinions on Jin Lian who has passed away. So is Jin Lian's recommendation still useful?

Of course Zhang Feng knew the tactics of Tianzi Tiqi and Jinyiwei Zuodu Lu Zhong, so he handled it very carefully and played tricks.

I think I do it seamlessly.

But in this day, he went from being the third-rank Hubu Zuo Shilang to being deeply imprisoned and in danger.

The speed of Lu Zhong's investigation was so fast that Zhang Feng didn't even have any reaction before being investigated by Lu Zhong.

He thought that he would not be discovered, that Jin Lian would not recommend him, that His Majesty would appoint Shen Yi.

Where did he miss a moment, it was planned long ago.

Only now did Zhang Feng know that Jin Lian had recommended him. Jin Lian's criticism of him was due to his own bad behavior. His Majesty had a lot of trust in Jin Lian, and he was obviously not satisfied with him, so he planned to appoint him.

All of this was ruined by him.

"Xing'an Dadang, this number..." Zhang Feng stretched out three fingers.

Xing'an was full of disgust, and stood with his hands behind his back, without looking at Zhang Feng, he said in a low voice: "Our family is not that kind of person, just for the sake of you being a majestic court official, I will give you a chance to make a statement."

"Don't get caught off guard, my household servant."

One of Xing'an's hands was behind him, rubbing his thumb and forefinger non-stop, 3000 taels of silver, just want him to spread the word of Xing'an Dadang, is his Xing'an's words so worthless?
The meaning of his action is obvious, that is to add money.

As soon as Zhang Feng gritted his teeth, he secretly hated, everyone said that Xing'an was clean and thrifty, but this lion opened his mouth wide, and refused to pass on such a lot of money.

He stretched out two fingers again fiercely and said: "50 taels of silver, this is all my belongings, Da Dang will definitely help me."

Xing'an turned his back to Zhang Feng and looked at the corridor of the prison, as if he was afraid of someone suddenly appearing. He never expected that what Zhang Feng said was 30 taels of silver, not 3000 taels.

Now the price has increased to 50.

Xing'an felt that his breathing was about to stagnate, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was flushed, his lips were twitching, he heard his heart pounding, he heard the blood rushing in his veins.

Worms!
What is the concept of 50 taels?
The annual expenditure of Tai'an Palace is only 50 taels, most of which is the training cost of Tiqi;

From the first year of the orthodoxy to the 14th year of the orthodox state, 120 million taels of silver were entered into the account every year;
The emperor of Ming Dynasty spent less than [-] taels a year;

One tael of silver can buy two hundred pieces of salted fish that His Majesty likes to eat, and one tael of silver;
One tael of silver can buy thirty catties of pork;

Six taels of silver can buy a good horse, and it will be guaranteed by Yu Shao for 15 years.

In Jiang Yuan's orthodox 12-year corruption case, there were less than 7 taels.

The Jiuchongtang that Yu Shaobao kept was only 900 taels of silver a year, so Yu Shaobao often felt that his life was extravagant, and wanted to move to the official residence, feeling that he had violated the rules, after all, he lived in the old residence of Duke Qi.

This 50 taels can be kept in Shaobao for a full 550 years!

Daming Guozuo didn't even know if there were 550 years!

big fish.

Xing'an took a deep breath, turned around and greeted him with a smile, "Oh my, look at what Zhang Shilang said, it doesn't matter if it's money or not."

"The Minister of the Household Department of our Ming Dynasty has passed away. Right now, everything about the Household Department cannot be separated from Zhang Shilang."

"I'm afraid there will be a war with the Tatars. If Zhang Shilang is wronged at this time, it will be bad for the country."

Zhang Feng's face became more relaxed. In this world, is there any eunuch who is not greedy for money?
Back then, Wang Zhen could eat and drink together for 1000 taels. Guo Jing resold steel arrows and fire feathers in Datong Mansion. What did Xining make the British public Zhang Fu look like for a few thousand taels of silver?
There may be eunuchs who are not greedy for money, but they are definitely not Xing'an.

This look of open eyes for money is very much like his competitor, Shen Yi.

"Da Dang will definitely help me." Zhang Feng grabbed Xing'an's hand and said in a low voice: "Da Dang told His Majesty that this matter was caused by the righteous indignation of the courtiers. Well, that’s when I found someone to buy him a copy.”

"It's easy to say." Xing'an's attitude changed, but he still didn't let go, like a money-greedy eunuch who wouldn't stalk a rabbit if he didn't see a rabbit.

After a few words of hypocrisy, Zhang Feng also knew that Xing'an would not get the money, so he would never do anything.

He whispered: "You go to Guangning Bo Street in Xicheng, and when you go to Fuxiangrui Tea Shop, say: Si En Yun Zheng Fang Ji De."

Xing'an was taken aback and said, "Master Zhang, what do you mean by that?"

Zhang Feng thought for a while and said: "Si'en, Yunzheng, and Jide are my son's words. You only need to say these words, and you will naturally get the money."

Xing'an suddenly realized, and said with admiration: "Good name, good name, worthy of being a family of poetry and books, good literary talent."

"Zhang Shilang don't worry, our family will go tomorrow morning and discuss with His Majesty."

"However, Zhang Shilang, there is no evidence for this. Our family can get such a large sum of money with a single word? It's better to make a written proof."

"It's better to write it down, so our family can feel at ease."

This eunuch!
Xing'an wants to keep the handle in his hands. If Zhang Feng really gets out of this prison in the future, he will save himself from having to pay later.

Even sometimes, Zhang Feng had to do some errands for him in Xing'an.

Zhang Feng's hands trembled a little, as it was written down, this Xing'an was the ancestor, who received filial piety every month and presented gifts every year.

However, that's better than losing the official and dying.

Xing'an sent someone to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and after writing down the evidence, he said with satisfaction: "Oh, Mr. Zhang, let's go to our house. If we get it tonight, we will make a statement to Mr. Zhang."

"Please rest assured."

Xing'an acted too much like a money-greedy eunuch, he actually disregarded the curfew and had to get the money to be at ease, which made Zhang Feng feel much more at ease.

"Our family is gone, Zhang Shilang has been wronged for a few days." Xing'an carefully put away the paper in his hand, and slowly walked out of the imperial prison.

Lu Zhong quickly followed behind Xing'an, holding the handle of the Xiuchun Knife, as if he was about to draw it out at any moment.

"Xing'an, what are you going to do? You are His Majesty's valet, you can ask for anything, and you are deeply trusted by His Majesty, why are you so?" Lu Zhong asked sharply.

Lu Zhong originally thought that Xing'an was fishing, but as he watched, his doubts became more and more serious.

Xing'an laughed out loud, his acting was so similar that he deceived his own people.

"Stop laughing." Lu Zhonglue said angrily, he fully understood that Xing'an was able to laugh at this time, obviously he had a clear conscience.

Xing'an was still the same Xing'an, he was still the same Xing'an whose majesty ordered him to clear the palace, but refused to touch the palace ban waist card.

If you want to take money, take money in the prison, isn't it too troublesome to live, and you want to die?

Xing'an was like a fisherman who caught a giant carp and then caught a silver carp and bighead carp with a smile on his face. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Let's take this document to His Majesty. As for the matter of Guangningbo Street , I will hand it over to Governor Lu."

"This phoenix is ​​the same. From the beginning to the end, he is self-righteous, and he always thinks."

"The Hubu Shangshu's position is the same, the Jin Shangshu is treated like this, and the Xing'an of our family is also treated like this."

"Doctor Lu thinks this matter, will His Majesty send Zhang Feng to Jieyuan?"

Lu Zhong shook his head and said, "It all depends on how he got such a large sum of money. If it was just corruption, His Majesty will probably throw him into the kiln of Shijingchang to make atonement."

"If you're carrying a big case, it's probably beheading."

"He wants to enter Jieyuan, there is nothing special, even if he wants to go, he can't."

Xie Jieyuan turned Ling Chi's execution into a kind of benevolent government. If you want to sit in Xie Jieyuan, you have to make outstanding contributions, and you have to commit some serious crimes that are equivalent to treason.

It's just corruption, probably due to the hard labor of the Shijingchang Coal Wells Division.

"Hey, His Majesty is said to be cruel, why do we think His Majesty is too merciful?" Xing'an shook his head repeatedly. He often listened to His Majesty and Yu Shaobao discussing the system of the country, so he naturally knew that His Majesty did not want to be dishonest.

But this kind of scum, going to Shijingchang is too cheap for him.

"Let's go." Xing'an waved his hands and left the sky prison. He originally planned to admire Zhang Feng's appearance like a mourning concubine, but he returned with a rewarding experience.

As the left governor of Tiqi, Lu Zhong can actually do a little tricks in handling this case, such as hiding bows and crossbow armor, such as selling steel arrows and fire feathers outside the Great Wall.

Splashing dirty water, they should be the best at Tiqi.

But Lu Zhong did not do this, because His Majesty refused to let him, he investigated the case clearly according to the true nature of the case.

In the early morning of the next day, Wang Ao had just arrived at the official department to work, and before he could sit on the soft rattan chair, he was called over by Wang Zhi.

"Wang Shilang, this is Zhang Feng's case. The three divisions will be interrogated. Our official department will also go. It involves a major corruption case. Your original responsibility." Wang Zhiting came back, took a case file, and handed it to Wang Ao .

Wang Zhi still handed over the case to Wang Ao. This is the person he chose. He only hoped that after his death, Wang Ao would not take revenge like this.

Wang Ao looked at the dossier seriously, and the more he looked at it, the more horrified he became. Zhang Feng, who is usually simple and simple, is actually a corrupt official?

For Wang Ao, this is a great achievement. After completing the errand, no one will say that he is lucky to be a heavenly official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

"Wang Shilang, today I handed over the memorial to your Majesty to become an official. When you are old, you can't always occupy this hole. You have to give young people a chance. After finishing this matter, you can take over all the affairs of the official department." After taking a sip of tea, Wang Ao finished reading the case file before speaking.

People have self-knowledge.

During the battle of the capital, Wang Zhi, as the head of the hundred officials, knew that he could not handle the crisis of the battle of the capital. He said that a hundred kings were not as good as one Yu Qian, so he gave up the position of the head of the hundred officials.

Wang Zhi's words were sincere, he found that Wang Ao had shown his sharpness, now that he was able to monopolize all affairs, he didn't bother to hold back any longer, and his health was not very good, when it came, he just had to rest for a few years.

Not being in love with power has always been a characteristic of Wang Zhi.

"Wang Shangshu, this disciple is dull, and there are many things that I don't know. If the minister is about to become an official and the disciple is at a loss, how will I make a choice?" Of course Wang Ao was not afraid, he just felt a little sudden.

There is a big difference between being an official in the capital and being an official in a local area. After Wang Ao came to Beijing, Wang Zhi kept telling Wang Ao a lot of things.

In private, Wang Ao paid homage to his disciples, which is also what he should have meant. After all, he is the Daming who is the master of heaven and earth.

Wang Zhi smiled and said: "Your Majesty gave me the position of Prince's Young Master, and asked me to go to Tai'an Palace to study and read. If I don't leave the capital, I won't be able to go back if I leave the capital."

"Except for this capital, there is not even a place to sleep."

"Okay, if there is something, just find me."

Wang Zhi betrayed his clan, he could not return to his roots, and could only be buried in the Jinshan Cemetery when he died.

Zhu Qiyu gave Wang Zhi a position as the prince's junior teacher, so that Wang Zhi could take care of himself for the rest of his life, and he was also a lecturer, so he could still see His Majesty every day.

If something goes wrong with Wang Ao, Wang Zhi can also use it at any time to clean up the mess for Wang Ao.

This can be regarded as the retired veteran cadre system that Zhu Qiyu tried for the political stability of the Ming Dynasty. Wang Zhi was the first person to eat crabs.

Wang Ao finally relaxed. It is said that leaning against a big tree can enjoy the shade, and some people are going to stir up trouble.

Wang Ao took the file and went to the prison aggressively.

"Zhang Feng, you have fallen into my hands!" Wang Ao looked at Zhang Feng and said through gritted teeth, wishing to tear Zhang Feng apart.

Zhang Feng was still dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Dream that Xing'an had lobbied for him, and he regarded himself as the servant of the household department. He sneered and said: "Wang Shilang, we have no grievances in the past and no enmity in the present, why is that?"

Wang Ao has served as a governor in the local area for 25 years. As for being an official in Beijing, he relied on Wang Zhi's teaching.

What Zhang Feng did directly broke the teacher-student friendship between Wang Ao and Wang Zhi, how could Wang Ao not be angry!
"Tell me about the Fuxiangrui Tea Shop on Guangningbo Street." Wang Ao didn't argue with Zhang Feng, and directly opened the case file and began to hear the news.

When Zhang Feng heard the words of Fuxiangrui Tea Shop, he knew that the matter had been completely exposed, and he said to himself in disbelief: "Could it be that the eunuch thinks that money is too little?"

"Xing'an doesn't even dare to take Lu Zicai's one tael gold ingot, how dare you take your 50 tael?" Wang Ao knew the story of Lu Zicai's one tael gold ingot turned into ten tael, so Wang Zhi told him.

This matter is extremely confidential, only Ming Gong in the court knows, Zhang Feng...doesn't know, because Jin Lian didn't tell him.

Zhang Feng's eyes were wide open, and he let out a wail, slumped on the ground and shouted, "My life is over."

The morning sun shone on the Dianjiangtai and the school grounds of the lecture hall, and also through the window rails, and shone on the imperial study room of Juxian Pavilion.

Zhu Qiyu, Yu Qian and Hu Wei are all in the imperial study.

"Uncle Mu Yang is here, after all, he missed it." Zhu Qiyu let both Yu Qian and Hu Wei read the case file.

What Shen Yi wanted to covet was 500 taels of silver, but Zhang Feng used his hands to toss nearly 70 taels of money.

But Yu Qian shook his head and said, "It's not that Jin Shangshu missed it, it's that this Feng is too good at hiding."

"Most of Zhang Feng's money was obtained during the orthodox years. After the Battle of the Capital, Zhang Feng didn't dare to stretch out his hands."

Hu Wei said in agreement: "I didn't expect that, this phoenix can be hidden."

Jin Lian has been the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice during the Zhengtong period, and did not start managing money until the 14th year of the Zhengtong period. His comprehensive understanding of Zhang Feng began in the 14th year of the Zhengtong period.

After being greedy for so much money, Zhang Feng really didn't dare to spend even a penny.

Not to mention Jin Lian, even Yu Qian, Hu Wei, Wang Zhi, Wang Ao and others are also confused.

This is so greedy, not expensive, not extravagant, what do you want?

Lying on the silver to sleep, don't you panic?

"That's true." Zhu Qiyu put down the file and said, "Yu Shaobao still insists on going to Yanshan?"

Yu Qian asked for an order to go to Yanshan to give military affairs to Governor Wu Qinghou. Zhu Qiyu was more worried about Yu Qian's health, so maybe it was not possible, but this was the third time he mentioned it, and Zhu Qiyu had to be more cautious.

"Your Majesty, I always feel that there is going to be a war, so it is better to go and have a look." After the army moved out to Yanshan to suppress the bandits, Yu Qian was always worried, so he simply went directly to the front line to see, so as not to worry about it.

"Okay, when are you leaving?" Zhu Qiyu asked after approving Yu Qian's memorial.

Yu Qian bowed his head and said, "Today."

Yu Qian acted vigorously and resolutely as always, since he was going, he set off immediately.

"I'll send you five hundred horses." Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and said, "I will keep you safe."

"Even if Da Ming loses miserably, I will not worry if Yu Shaobao is here."

Yu Qian is the banner of the dragon flag erected by Zhu Qiyu. As long as Yu Qian is still there, Daming can bear the result of defeat.

Yu Qian kept blinking his eyes. Could it be that His Majesty's lenient behavior is instinctive?
