Lonely non-good minister

Dai Mao waved his hands confidently: "If he had the courage to present himself to the court, he wouldn't run away in a hurry."

"Your Excellency has worked hard these days, and the officer ordered the kitchen to cook a cup of bird's nest for you to rinse your mouth." The official's face was full of flattery.

Dai Mao nodded in satisfaction: "Go and arrange."

He put down the straw sandals and didn't get off the ground anymore. He leaned back on the couch comfortably, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

After two days of leisure, it was confirmed that Song Yuan and others had left Zhaodi, and the invitation to the dinner was delivered to Dai Mao's desk.

While the officials in the yamen were eating millet rice and wild vegetables, Dai Mao was already half drunk at the banquet in the red building. For a while, his face was full of lust and lust.

"Master Dai still has a way to get rid of the Ninth Young Master of Lao Shizi easily. Zhao Di was the first place he chose by himself. He suffered a lot here and made a mistake in front of so many people. , even if I go elsewhere, I can’t hold my head high anymore.”

Dai Mao smiled and waved his hands: "It's just a small trick, it's really nothing."

"The imperial court wanted the fields to be reformed, but they used us dignitaries as targets. That ninth son, a good rich and noble grandson, came to make us suffer. Normally, the royal family did not take the benefits of our filial piety, but now they turned their faces and refused to recognize anyone. , wanting to step on our superiors to take credit, there is no such cheap good thing in the world."

"That's right, in order to take care of these princes and grandchildren on weekdays, we don't spend less money in their houses. We don't respect their food and clothing? They also have the face to do things like crossing rivers and demolishing bridges, eating and wiping them clean. What are we talking about? ?”

They complained a few words, and then thanked Dai Maolai: "If Lord Dai hadn't made an idea, I'm afraid these knives would have been chopped off on our heads. Now that the things have been burned, even if the court asks, they can still put the blame on the ninth son. It kills two birds with one stone."

Dai Mao laughed more freely: "This is also indispensable for your cooperation."

They were pushing cups and changing glasses, just when they were enjoying themselves, the door of the room was kicked open, everyone in the room was startled, and Dai Mao who was sitting was about to lose his temper when he caught a glimpse of the official from Tingwei's mansion on the person who was coming. Convinced, Wei Yan also stood up from the side, looking at them gloatingly.

The officers and soldiers who kicked the door were vicious, and directly raised their tokens: "Dai Mao, the prime minister of Zhaodi, forged the land deed, shielded the dignitaries, and interfered with government affairs. Fang Caier and others have recorded everything they said. Dai, come with us."

Everyone in the room was startled, and stood up hastily, wanting to get rid of the relationship, but the officers and soldiers would not give them the slightest chance, and seven or eight people came in with a wave of their hands, and they couldn't help but hold them down. She screamed and was dragged aside.

Dai Mao sat on the ground with a serious expression. He quickly figured out the situation. After looking at the officers and soldiers, he stood up with a serious face. When he saw Wei Yan outside the house, his expression became even more ugly.

Wei Yan smiled slightly: "Lord Dai, please."

Dai Mao looked at him angrily, his hands were shaking but he couldn't hold back a word.

The people in the red building were already frightened, and the officers and soldiers of Tingwei's Mansion escorted them outside, and then they clasped their fists and said, "We will take them away. As for how to deal with them, we have to wait for the orders of Tingwei."

Wei Yan also cupped his fists: "Thanks for your hard work."

Wei Yan immediately went to the nearby restaurant after seeing off the people in Tingwei's mansion, Song Yuan was here, she was sitting by the window, watching Dai Mao being taken away with her own eyes.

"My lord." Wei Yan came up to report: "I have written down what they yelled. Although what they said is not clear, the fraud of the land deed is true and cannot be denied. It is only after the Situ Mansion verifies that the Tingwei Mansion can do it." disposal."

Song Yuan held up his chin: "Well, it's time to meet Zhaodi's county lieutenant and county guard tomorrow."

It's really strange that she hasn't seen these two people after coming here for so many days.

The next morning, Song Yuan appeared in the yamen, and the busy officials who got up early were all shocked when they saw her. Although it was only two days apart, the story of Song Yuan's dereliction of duty caused the land deed to be burned, and then he left in embarrassment has spread throughout the yamen.

"I want to see the county guard and the county lieutenant." Song Yuan walked towards Mingtang after speaking.

After a while, two middle-aged people came, one looked timid, and the other looked stiff and rigid. When they saw Song Yuan, they bowed to each other, not even the proper etiquette. Wei Yan next to him frowned.

Song Yuan noticed their etiquette, but he didn't waste time on this question, and asked directly: "I was in the Yamen a few days ago, why didn't I see you come to see me?"

They looked at each other, pushing each other to get each other to come forward and explain.

Seeing their appearance, Song Yuan was even more suspicious: "Does the county lieutenant still know what Dai Mao does in normal times?"

She directly asked by name, and the dull middle-aged man stood up and spoke in a muffled voice. Song Yuan leaned over and listened carefully to hear what he said: "On weekdays, all affairs in Zhaodi are handled by Dai Mao. He is also responsible for the responsibilities of the county guard and the county lieutenant, they are only responsible for their reputation, and they don't care about things on weekdays, so it is not clear what Dai Mao has done."

This answer made Song Yuan speechless for a while, and asked their guards to stand up and said, "My lord, I found them from their home."

"Family?" Song Yuan understood a little bit, these people should spend money to donate officials to buy a idle job, just use a false name, and don't care about things on weekdays.

Looking at the two of them, Song Yuan immediately lost his temper. Although she had heard of this kind of thing a lot, it was the first time she had met her. Seeing their timid looks, she planned to let the two of them take Dai's place temporarily. Mao's idea of ​​being in charge of civil affairs was also dispelled.

These are two idlers, unreliable at all.

"Junwei." She didn't even bother to ask her name: "You take someone to Dai Mao's house now, move all his things out, call everyone in the yamen to come over, and take a good look at their Mr. Juncheng's life How are you?"

Are you going to search Dai Mao's house?The dull middle-aged one hundred people are unwilling, standing at the same place with a bitter face and not moving a step, with a face full of embarrassment, shrinking his head and muttering: "How can I search for Mr. Dai's house?"

Hearing this, he still didn't know about Dai Mao's arrest.

Song Yuan took a deep breath to stabilize his emotions: "Dai Mao forged the land deed and was taken down by Tingwei's Mansion pending trial. Now I am in charge of Zhao Land. If you are told to go, you can go."

The dull middle-aged man froze for a moment, stopped chattering, and hurried out.

The officials and servants of the yamen were also called over. They were all dressed in simple clothes and looked like vegetables. It seemed that they had been squeezed hard on weekdays.

Song Yuan came to the porch and looked at them. After all the silks, satins, gold, silver and jewels in Dai Mao's room were brought out and placed in front of everyone, she said, "I, Da Wei, did not say that I treated officials badly. Dai Mao was greedy, and even It would really be a waste of all your hard work to take care of his official affairs for him to eat away at your heads."
