Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 385 The debt collector Hell is coming (please subscribe!!)
"Who else can there be but that one?" Wang Bi said with a smile: "As the chief envoy of a province, that one would stay in the capital every year for three months or even longer on the pretext of reporting on his duties. He went to various yamen in order to save money for himself, especially the household department, where he could be said to be a frequent visitor. He had stepped through the thresholds of all yamen in the capital, and it was shameless to ask for money. He was nicknamed the King of Hell for debt collection. If you have ten taels of silver, he will give you nine taels, but if you have no silver, he will tear down your roof!"

"If this debt collector knew that the Ministry of Revenue was giving out money like this, he would go crazy!"

"When you said that, I remembered that this begging King of Hell will arrive in the capital soon, right?" Feng Sheng asked with a smile.

"I have already made inquiries. He will be able to arrive in the capital tomorrow at the latest, and the news has already reached his ears! Let me make it clear first that this news is definitely not from me, but the reputation of Hube this time is really The news was spread too widely and the money was distributed so ruthlessly that even the common believers and soldiers below knew about it and were all praising Ouyang Lun as the best Minister of Household Affairs!" Wang Bi muttered.

"The best Minister of Household Affairs, haha, this is just made with money. It looks like the chief envoys of various provinces, represented by the begging King of Hell, will completely suck him dry. By then, the national treasury will be empty and no more money will be available. Sometimes, there are times when Ouyang Lun cries!" Feng Sheng said solemnly.

Listening to the conversation between Feng Sheng and Wang Bi, Lan Yu was a little confused and couldn't help but ask: "Who are you talking about?"

"Who else can it be? Of course it's Wang Yan, the Chief Secretary of the Sichuan Provincial Government!" Feng Sheng said with a smile.

Hearing this, Lan Yu suddenly realized, "It turns out to be him! This old guy is indeed just like the stones in the latrine, smelly and hard. If Ouyang Lun meets this guy, I'm afraid he will be punished, haha!"

"With Wang Yan taking action, we don't have to worry this time and just wait and see the good show!" Feng Sheng said with a smile.

The Hubu Yamen is located.

"You are the Chief Envoy of Sichuan Province, Mr. Wang Yan!"

The yamen servant said nervously: "Master Wang, please calm down. It's not that I won't let you in, but that you don't have an appointment. I can register you, and you can come tomorrow. Then you can enter the household department!"

"Yo! You actually know me?" the old man said in surprise with his hands behind his back.

"Master Wang, your reputation has spread all over the capital. The yamen guard in the capital doesn't know you!" The yamen guard said nervously: "What do you want to do here this time?"

"I have heard that the newly appointed Minister of Household Affairs, Ouyang Lun, is your Majesty's son-in-law. This emperor's son-in-law is different. Now even the chief envoy of the province cannot enter the threshold of the Ministry of Household Affairs!"

"Haha? How dare you stop me?" Wang Yan gave the government officer a different look, "I am an old man in his sixties. If I fall in front of you later, you won't be able to eat and walk away!"

"It's an appointment again!" Wang Yan said a little speechlessly: "There is no appointment, I just want to come in now, if you have the ability, I will arrest you, humph, if you dare to attack a second-grade Ming official, you will not only lose your job, You still have to lose your head!”

When the yamen guard saw this man appearing, his face immediately turned ugly.

After saying that, Wang Yan insisted on walking into the Hubu Yamen with his hands behind his back.

Hearing this, the yamen servant was so nervous that he sweated on his forehead, but he did not get out of the way. Instead, he gritted his teeth and said bravely: "Master Wang, I didn't mean to stop you, but our household department has a new minister." , the new Lord Shangshu has already spoken, no matter who comes to the Household Department, they must make an appointment in advance, and they are not allowed to enter without an appointment. If I let you in today, then I will lose this job."

An official got off the carriage. This official was about sixty years old. He was a lean old man with a gray beard, but his eyes were bright. He was wearing a second-grade official uniform with a few patches.

A shabby carriage stopped.

"Master Wang, you can't do this!" The yamen officer was forced to retreat continuously by Wang Yan.

Wang Yan took a deep look at the government official in front of him, and flashed a hint of surprise, "I have been to so many government offices in the capital, and you are the first one who dares to stop me from entering. You have the courage!"

"I have met Mr. Wang!"

But he was stopped by the government officer, "Mr. Wang, do you have an appointment? If you don't have an appointment, I'm afraid you won't be able to go in today!"

The two government officials at the door felt as if they were facing an enemy. One quickly turned around and ran into the government office to report, while the other walked over nervously.

"Why is this Living King of Hell here?"

"It's good that we know each other! Since you know each other, stop talking nonsense and let me in quickly. After receiving the money, I will leave immediately and I will never stay!" The old man waved his hand and prepared to go inside.

"I'll block it first, and you hurry up and notify the adults."

"Please forgive me, Mr. Wang!"

Just when Wang Yan was about to break into the Hubu Yamen, Guo Zi rushed out, "Master Wang, Master Wang!"

"Guo Shangshu!" Wang Yan stopped pushing in when he saw Guo Zi.

"Master Wang, I am no longer the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, but the Minister of the Ministry of Finance." Guo Zi explained with a smile: "Now Ouyang Prince Consort is the Minister of the Ministry of Finance."

"Tch~" Wang Yan waved his hand, "Although I am in Sichuan, I still know that you and Ouyang Lun are in the same group, so it doesn't matter which of you two is the Minister of Household Affairs!"

After saying that, Wang Yan stretched out his hand, "I don't want to get involved in the party struggle between the government and the opposition. I heard that your Ministry of Household Affairs is distributing money, so I came here day and night to give the money before the chief envoys of other provinces do!!"

"Master Guo, if you find a reason to send me away like you did before, it is absolutely impossible!"

"I was well prepared before coming!"

"Come here! Let me arrange it."

Following Wang Yan's order, Wang Yan's men took out many things from the carriage, and then quickly set up a simple tent at the door of the Hubu Yamen, with a bed inside!

Wang Yan even went in directly.

"Mr. Guo, if I can't get the money today, I will stay at the gate of your Hubu Yamen. When will you give me the money? When will I leave? In addition, you have to take care of my three meals a day. If I am hungry, If you die or catch cold, the account will be blamed on your household department!"

Forehead.
Seeing Wang Yan's skillful movements, Guo Zi was also stunned. Fortunately, he had dealt with Wang Yan a lot, so he was not surprised that Wang Yan could behave like this. He smiled and said: "Master Wang, you It’s not that complicated to want money, you just need to write a plan application honestly, and I will give you the money according to the process!”

Um! ?

Wang Yan was stunned when he heard Guo Zi's words.

Before he came, he had heard that the newly appointed Minister of Hubu was relatively quick to distribute money, and that the Ministry of Hubu was a little different from the past.

"No! You guys gave me various reasons and guarantees at first, but in the end you still refused to give me the money!"

"You just want to trick me into leaving!"

"Unless you move the money to me, I will leave immediately after taking the money. Otherwise, don't let me leave. I will live here from today on!"

Instead of coming out, Wang Yan lay down directly. Forehead.
Guo Zi's face was full of black lines, "Sir Wang, if you don't write a plan and file an application, I will give you the money. If your Majesty finds out, why not chop off my head!"

"Don't worry, I won't lie to you this time!"

Wang Yan shook his head, "You're from the household department. It's your business to make money. I'm only responsible for asking for money. If you don't give me money, I won't leave!"

"Since you won't leave, I can only stay here with you!" Guo Zi also sat down, "I will send you two meals later, and also build a tent like this for me!"

"Yes." The officer retired.

"No, are you sleeping here with me too?" Wang Yan sat up and asked.

"Otherwise, I have no other choice! I told you to come up with a plan. As long as the plan is passed, I will give you money immediately. You want money without mentioning a plan. This is against the rules!" Guo Zi said helplessly.

"You have lied to me many times. I can't trust you unless you let me see my consort Ouyang Lun! I want to hear what he has to say!" Wang Yanxiang thought.

"This is okay!" Guo Zi stood up and patted his butt, "Master Wang, please put this away quickly. I will take you to see the Prince Consort right now."

"You are not allowed to collect the things, just put them here. If I find out later that you lied to me, I will come back to sleep!" Wang Yan said.

"As expected of the King of Hell for collecting debts, your methods are getting better and better every year. If I were still the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, I might have been manipulated by you this year!" Guo Zi said with emotion.

Suddenly he was a little lucky. Since he retired from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Finance and became the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, the pressure has suddenly dropped. He used to have to work until late at night every day, but now he leaves work at the end of the day and can accompany his dowry. It is simply unnecessary. Great.

Especially now he can face difficult people like Wang Yan calmly, because he knows that no matter what happens, his consort Ouyang Lun will be there to support him.

Sure enough, it is so important to have a good leader!
Guo Zi thought as he took Wang Yan to the clan mansion.

"Hey, I said, isn't the door to the Ministry of Finance right here? Why are you still walking outside! Are you trying to trick me away?" Wang Yan said with a wary look.

"Lord King Er, I forgot to tell you. Although the Prince Consort has taken over the position of Minister of Hubu, his office is still in the Zongren Mansion. The Zongren Mansion is not far from the Hubu Yamen. It only takes a few steps to get there. ." Guo Zi explained.

"I see, let's go."

Wang Yan nodded, followed Guo Zi, and muttered: "Master Guo, if you lie to me again this time, I will have to live in front of your household door for ten days and a half, and then I will live in your house! "

"Master Wang, we have known each other for so many years, can't there be some trust between us?" Guo Zi said speechlessly.

"Trust? Haha, I just trusted you last year. As a result, I didn't get the money and almost had no shame to go back to Sichuan! This time I will definitely target you to death!" Wang Yan said solemnly.

"Master Wang, the Ming Dynasty's treasury improved slightly last year, but there are many places to spend money in various aspects. You ask for one million taels. If I really give it to you, what will I do if the chief envoys from other provinces come to me? ?Besides, I didn’t get nothing, so I gave you some money in the end,” Guo Zi said.

"Give money? Haha, I asked for one million, but you gave me one hundred thousand. It's true that you didn't get nothing, but only one!" Wang Yan said angrily.

"." Seeing that Wang Yan couldn't listen to his explanation, Guo Zi didn't bother to say anything else and continued to take Wang Yan to the clan mansion.

"Is this the clan's mansion?" As soon as he entered the clan's mansion, Wang Yan looked at the things in the mansion curiously, "This is different from what I heard!"

"The Zongren Mansion in the past was not like this. After the Prince Consort took charge of the Zongren Mansion, he had people renovate it. Did you see the villa in front? His Majesty originally planned to use it to build the Zhu family's ancestral temple. Now it has been renovated. The consort built a villa, and His Majesty was so angry that he couldn't even eat." Guo Zi introduced proudly.

"hiss--"

Wang Yan took a breath and said in surprise: "Is there such a thing? I have never heard of Ouyang's consort doing this, and your Majesty hasn't killed him yet?!"

"Kill?" Guo Zi smiled, "The Prince Consort is the most popular person in front of Your Majesty, how can he be willing to kill him?"

Hearing this, Wang Yan seemed to have thought of something and nodded slowly, "Although I am far away in Sichuan, I have heard a lot about Ouyang's consort."

"I have managed Beizhili into the economic center of the north, and saved the four southern provinces from collapse, especially Guangdong Province twice. I have great admiration for our prince-in-law, and I also want to take advantage of it. This opportunity to get to know each other makes this trip to the capital worthwhile."

"Then you don't want the money?" Guo Zi asked with a smile.

"I definitely need money! If it weren't for money, I would be over sixty years old, and why would I come all the way from Sichuan?" Wang Yan rolled his eyes.

Soon, Guo Zi took Wang Yan to find Ouyang Lun, and at this moment, Ouyang Lun was lying on a rocking chair basking in the sun.

Um! ?

"Why is the sun gone?"

Ouyang Lun slowly opened his eyes, and then he realized that two people were looking at him curiously with their big heads stretched out.

"Mom!"

"There's something wrong with you two!"

Ouyang Lun was startled.

"Guo Zi, who is this old beggar man? Even if you want to do good things and just give me some money, why would you bring him in front of me? I don't know how easy it is to scare people to death!"

Forehead.
Cough
Guo Zi and Wang Yan were quite embarrassed.

"That prince-in-law, this is Mr. Wang Yan, the chief envoy of Sichuan Province. He is here specifically to see you." Guo Zi quickly introduced.

Wang Yan looked at his patched official uniform and said awkwardly: "Ouyang Prince Consort, my subordinate Wang Yan, my clothes are a little torn, but you can wear them after you mend them."

"Wang Yan, Chief Envoy of Sichuan Province?" Ouyang Lun looked the old man in front of him up and down, "Why are you looking for me?"

"Ouyang Prince Consort, the development of Sichuan Province is slow, and many people are hungry and don't even have enough to eat. I want the Ministry of Revenue to allocate some money to me in Sichuan to help the people in the territory!" Wang Yan said truthfully.

"Do you have a specific plan? As long as there is a plan, the Ministry of Household Affairs will release the loan after review, don't worry." Ouyang Lun said.

"Yes, I have specially written a plan for Prince Consort Ouyang to read!" Wang Yan quickly took out a memorial.
