Chapter 197 Xiao Yichen was led astray by Shen Jia
Gifted by the elders, dare not to give up.
Shen Jia happily accepted the jade pendant from Wen Qiyuan and saluted, "Thank you so much, Grandpa Wen."
"Jiajia, let's talk after we get on the carriage!" Xiao Yichen pulled Shen Jia into Wen Qiyuan's carriage.
Wen Qiyuan and the two held hands intimately, their eyes darkening.
He could become a big official in a border area, so his thoughts were simple. King Chen first gave him a beating, and then let him go gently because of the Gu family's reasons, with the purpose of winning over him.
But he didn't even have the qualifications to refuse.
If it weren't for the Gu family, once this incident broke out, the consequences would be disastrous.
If he doesn't want to get on King Chen's boat, he has to get on it. If he gets on it happily, he may be able to get a share of the merits of being a dragon, and the Wen family will be rich and prosperous for decades.
I don’t know what contribution the Shen family made to make Shen Zhuoyun the protector of the country and Shen Jia to become the princess. Although there should be a little bit of King Chen in it, if it weren’t for their great contribution, it would be impossible for the Shen family to be ennobled. .
When the Shen family rises, the Qingping Mansion will no longer remain silent. It is time for the bloody battle for the heir to begin.
Wen Qiyuan's heart went back and forth a thousand times, but it didn't show on his face.
Xiao Yichen's words interrupted his thoughts: "Master Wen, you are solely responsible for the next thing. I and Jiajia will not come forward."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely take care of this matter." Wen Qiyuan assured.
The three of them discussed on the carriage what to do next to solve the problem more effectively.
After discussing it, they arrived at the government office.
Wen Qiyuan showed up at the gate of the government office with Shen Jia, Xiao Yichen, guards and some officials. The government officials at the door recognized one of them as the chief envoy and quickly invited them in. One of the officials rushed to the backyard to inform the prefect of Pingzhou. .
When the prefect of Pingzhou heard the report from the yamen servant that the chief envoy was coming, he hurriedly staggered from the backyard to the yamen lobby.
The backyard of the prefect was not far from the Yamen lobby, but after two days of pulling, he was top-heavy and almost collapsed from exhaustion even after walking for even a short distance.
"I didn't know that your Excellency was here, but I missed you from afar to welcome you. Please forgive me!" the prefect of Pingzhou saluted.
Wen Qiyuan didn't talk nonsense to him, "Come here and capture the prefect of Pingzhou."
The guards brought by Wen Qiyuan immediately stepped forward to take Pingzhou Magistrate into custody. The government officials looked at each other and stood there at a loss.
The magistrate of Pingzhou was being held in custody and couldn't get away. He said angrily: "Wen Qiyuan, I am a fourth-grade official appointed by the emperor. How could I take it just as you said? If you don't tell me the reason today, I will I must write a memorial and submit it to the emperor for you to copy."
Wen Qiyuan sneered: "Don't worry! I will make you plead guilty willingly."
The prefect of Pingzhou saw his confident look, and his heart skipped a beat. Wen Qiyuan came prepared.
What went wrong?
Before he could figure it out, the richest man in Pingzhou was soon arrested.
Wen Qiyuan threw the evidence given by Xiao Yichen in front of the Pingzhou Magistrate. He recognized his account book at a glance, plus the wealthy businessman's account book, so he could not deny it. The Pingzhou Magistrate suddenly fell to the ground, his face turned ashen. Such as the examination of bereavement.
"Your Excellency, I plead guilty. It was Xia Guan who was obsessed with money and couldn't stand the temptation of money. He took bribes and embezzled money. I hope I won't implicate Xia Guan's family." Pingzhou prefect knelt down and kowtowed to plead guilty. The account book is in Wen Qiyuan's hands. This matter cannot withstand detailed investigation. Rather than being humiliated, it is better to admit his guilt and wait for people in the capital to help him clear up the relationship. After a few years, after the news has passed, he can still become a rich man.
It's a pity that he thought too simply.
Wen Qiyuan sneered: "Don't worry, there's still more!" Then he clapped his hands.
The guards escorted several burly men in.
Several burly men had been given special treatment in the past two days, and they were all languid and unscrupulous.
The pupils of the prefect of Pingzhou shrank, why are they here?
He glanced at the richest man in Pingzhou and saw that he also looked confused, and his mood sank to the bottom.
"Can any of you tell me why you want to hunt down a child?" Wen Qiyuan said coldly.
"Let me tell you!" one of them said.
"We are all thugs raised by the richest man in Pingzhou, and we specialize in dealing with some disobedient people for the magistrate and the richest man. Some time ago, the richest man asked us to deal with Mr. Tongzhi. After we killed Tongzhi's family, we found that two people were missing, so we went everywhere After investigating, they finally found their traces in Qing County, so they came to kill them, and finally the child escaped..."
These people were tortured so much that they just wanted to die quickly and vomited everything out.
The prefect of Pingzhou comes from a poor family and has a weak foundation. These thugs were raised by the richest man in Pingzhou. With the power of the prefect, he often bullies men and dominates women, and this is not the first time he kills people.
Shen Jia is very creative in torturing people.
She had people smear syrup on their bodies, and then sprinkle them with medicinal powder. All the insects, rats, and ants within a five-mile radius crawled on them and gnawed on them. They were tied up and couldn't even move. They could only watch themselves. His body was bitten and bruised and he was helpless.
Wen Qiyuan glanced at the Pingzhou magistrate and shook his head. He studied hard for ten years and made a mistake in one trip, destroying himself and his family.
After Wen Qiyuan put them in prison, he began to build the river channel.
He followed Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen's suggestions to clean up the blockage and repair the dam at the same time.
This is a big project, and he plans to recruit all the strong laborers from Pingzhou Prefecture and surrounding cities.
As a result, a lot of silver was needed. When he ransacked the two houses, no silver notes were found. He suspected that King Chen and Shen Jia had taken it, but he did not dare to ask.
Wen Qiyuan scratched his head and ears sadly.
Xiao Yichen handed him all the silver notes they had collected from the prefect: "Master Wen, here are 150,000 taels of silver notes that I and Jiajia collected from the prefect. If you take them to build the river, you must do it as quickly as possible." Repair the river channel at the fastest speed. Remember, we must ensure the quality.”
Wen Qiyuan looked at the banknotes in front of him and endured it again and again, but finally he couldn't hold it back anymore: "The King Chen is a majestic king, the noble eldest grandson of the emperor, and he goes to plunder other people's banknotes. Is this really okay?"
Xiao Yichen raised his eyebrows and said: "What's wrong! What I'm searching for is the banknotes of corrupt officials, not the banknotes of honest officials and ordinary people. You see, the banknotes I've collected will cover the funds for this river construction." Problem?"
Jiajia once said, why don’t you want money from corrupt officials? There is no name written on the bank note. If you have money, you can buy a few more villages and buy more food. Wouldn't it be nice to use the money to build bridges and pave roads and do something practical for the people?
Wen Qiyuan protested weakly: "If you don't search for these banknotes, they will be confiscated when the officials raid your home."
"Can this be the same? Everything you copy must be registered! It also has to be handed over to the treasury, and it will be appropriated after verification by the Ministry of Household Affairs. That will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey. The matter is urgent. Don't worry, I will follow up on this matter. Grandpa Huang explains." Xiao Yichen said seriously.
