It's just a pity that Fang Jun never sleeps in flowers and willows. When he goes to the brothel, he only eats wine and writes poems, and mostly fights...
But the young master Dugu in front of him is also a first-rate talent, with a prominent family background and a high position. If he can gain his favor and be bought into the palace as a concubine, it will simply be the noblest life goal of the Qing Dynasty...
Feeling the quiet changes in the people around him, Dugu Cheng felt relieved.
Isn't this the kind of achievement that a man strives for to achieve the highest level of admiration and jealousy?
Unfortunately, before he could enjoy this moment of comfort, the door was opened again.
It's just that this time it was much rougher, and with a bang, the door panel was almost kicked off.
A group of people dressed in black robes, wearing beam crowns on their heads, and curved wild goose feather knives on their waists, rushed in with a menacing attitude like wolves and tigers.
Everyone in the room looked at each other.
The leader of the visitors was none other than Cheng Wuting, the secretary of the Jingzhao Prefecture who joined the army. He was also dressed in the same attire as his subordinates. He looked majestic and solemn. He looked at Dugu Cheng and said expressionlessly: "Someone reported that Dugu Shaoyin was blackmailing a businessman. Asking for a bribe, the governor ordered someone to come and take Shaoyin back to the Yamen to talk."
"What?"
Dugu Cheng was shocked and angry, jumped up and cursed: "Nonsense! How could a certain Shaoyin, a member of a well-known family, do such a thing that violates the law knowingly and illegally? Cheng Wuting, if you dare to slander anyone again, we will go to His Majesty and say, !”
Cheng Wuting sneered: "Don't talk about His Majesty all the time if you are from a high-ranking family. I'm afraid His Majesty will know that you are so wanton and trample on the national law after being an official for only a few days. He might personally draw his sword and kill you." ! Moreover, the Jingzhao Mansion has the power of torture and investigation, and can make arbitrary decisions even for capital crimes, let alone a small crime of corruption? Dugu Shaoyin, I would like to advise you, and go back to the Yamen to listen honestly. When the governor is in disgrace, I will take care of my face. If you are stubborn, don’t blame me for being tough!"
Dugu Cheng was so angry that his nose was almost smoking!
Tiaojiao said: "You have no proof, what do you dare to do to me? I don't believe that there is no royal law in Jingzhao Mansion!"
"Haha, no evidence?"
Cheng Wu chuckled, pointed to the sandalwood box on the table and said, "What is this?"
Dugu Cheng was stunned and speechless.
The gift someone just sent...
Is this considered a bribe?
Of course it counts!
That gift that Zhou Xiaofu brought to his door despite having no relationship with him, what else could it be if it wasn't a bribe?
But Dugu Cheng didn't think there was any problem with this.
This is the Tang Dynasty, and this is not the Ming Dynasty where embezzlement of sixty taels of silver means you have to peel off the skin and get the grass. What does it mean for officials to accept a few gifts?
"It's just a little gift from a merchant I've never met."
Dugu Cheng said.
"Gift? Haha."
Cheng Wuting waved his hand, and a soldier from the patrol room behind him stepped forward to open the box, then reached out and touched among the tea leaves, and took out a roll of old paper.
Dugu Cheng was stunned, how could there be such a thing?
I felt something bad in my heart.
The soldier unfolded his arms, took a glance, turned around, handed it to Cheng Wuting with both hands, and said, "Joining the army is a house deed."
Dugu Cheng snatched it with his hands. After a closer look, he saw that they were indeed several house deeds, occupying a large area. They were located in Chang'an City and were estimated to be worth at least ten thousand yuan. I was so frightened that my face immediately turned pale...
Does this count as everyone getting the stolen goods?
Cheng Wuting sneered and said, "Dugu Shaoyin, what else can you say?"
Dugu Cheng's eyes widened. Fortunately, his eyes were not big, otherwise they would have popped out!
What else don’t you understand?
That Zhou Xiaofu brought a box of tea in the front, and the patrol room arrived in the back and found several house deeds from the box...
This is so obviously a scam!
etc……
Dugu Cheng rubbed his temples. This technique seemed familiar?
It is rumored that Fang Jun's gang of Jiangnan noblemen who stole navy wood in Jiangnan pit used this method? Although the differences are huge, when you put aside the essence of extroverted focus, you will find that everything remains the same!
What a fishing law enforcement!
Dugu Cheng laughed angrily, is this contempt for me?
Don't even bother to use new tricks, just put old wine in new bottles?
"Okay, okay," Dugu Xin was so angry that his teeth were itching. If Fang Jun were standing in front of him at this moment, he would have wanted to pounce on him and bite him hard!
"Even if I am guilty of corruption, so what? It's just a few shabby houses. What's more, I didn't do anything for that person, and it hasn't caused serious consequences. Can I be convicted of this? The same goes for me. Those who have read the "Zhenguan Law" but don't know what to do with my official?"
Cheng Wuting bared his teeth and smiled, "Look at what you said, Dugu Shaoyin. He didn't say he would convict you, let alone what he would do to you. Why are you so nervous? Since someone reported it, Fu Yin did this in order to restore your innocence. I just asked Shao Yin to go to the lobby to confront the businessman, so don’t think wrongly!"
Dugu Cheng didn't think about it, but his nose was crooked with anger!
Is this a gesture to ask him to confront him?
I'm afraid that if he refuses to cooperate now, Fang Jun will be able to issue arrest warrants to the entire Datang Dynasty to arrest him!
The most irritating thing is that you shouted all over the street that I was corrupt and took bribes, and then you took me to the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion, even if you really just went for a walk and then went home. What would outsiders think? In the eyes of outsiders, this was corruption and bribery. The reason why he went home as if nothing was wrong was because of the efforts of the Dugu family, and Fang Jun had to let him go...
After doing this, do I still need my reputation?
This trick is too poisonous...
Dugu Cheng gritted his molar teeth and glared at Cheng Wuting: "What if I don't go?"
Cheng Wuting sighed: "You are the chief and so-and-so is the subordinate. Don't make everyone lose face."
Dugu Cheng knew that it would be impossible if he didn't go.
But Fang Jun doesn't do things according to routine at all. If he really wants to ruin his reputation, he will just pay it back. If he is really cruel and wants to get rid of him completely, he will arrange all kinds of evidence properly, and then Here comes the trick...
Dugu Cheng shuddered, wouldn't the mallet be so cruel?
Imagine the cruelty inflicted on the body by all kinds of torture instruments, and Dugu Cheng felt cold from the cracks in his bones. There are thirty-six kinds of torture instruments, and I probably have to give up if I can’t withstand any of them. With such little willpower, why can’t I just use whatever people ask me to do?
Dugu Cheng is in a dilemma.
But the consequences of going are unknown. If you don't go, you will be embarrassed now, and Cheng Wuting is in such a posture that he has to go.
With a helpless sigh, Dugu Cheng tried his best to maintain the dignity and pomp of a member of the aristocratic family: "Cheng Silu, for the convenience, how about I allow you to explain a few words to your servant?"
He thought that Cheng Wuting would definitely not give him this opportunity, because it was obvious that he was going home to recruit reinforcements...
Unexpectedly, Cheng Wuting nodded happily: "Shao Yin, please help yourself. There is no rush to get down."
Dugu Cheng glanced at Cheng Wuting suspiciously, then walked to the door and whispered to his servant: "Don't go home, go to Princess Ankang's mansion quickly, tell the details of what happened here, and ask Princess Ankang to take action."
That servant was a confidant of the Dugu family and knew the cause and effect. He nodded immediately and left without looking back. After leaving the brothel gate, he ran all the way to Princess Ankang's mansion.
On the other side, Dugu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and said to Cheng Wuting: "Let's go. Do you need to put wooden shackles on me?"
Cheng Wuting smiled and said: "If Shao Yin really asks for it, I will certainly be able to satisfy Dugu Shao Yin's request."
Dugu Cheng was so angry.
Can't you hear the sarcastic statement?
He turned around and braced himself, clasped his fists at his friends and said, "Today I've wiped out your character, whether you are a certain person or not. Let me go to the yamen for a while and meet our house official. I will host you someday." I apologize to you all.”
The children of the aristocratic family just have to be calm and calm even if they go to death, let alone just go to see Fang Jun?
He is Bang Chui, not the Prince of Hell in the Palace of Hell...
Several friends didn't know what to say, so they praised "Shao Yin has the style of a famous official"? This is obviously about to be tricked to death by Fang Jun...
I had to deal with it.
Dugu Cheng followed Cheng Wuting and a group of soldiers from the patrol room. The figure looks calm, but if you pay attention, you can see his slightly trembling legs...
On the other side, the servant rushed to Princess Ankang's house. He was so tired that his tongue stuck out and his heart skipped a beat.
Seeing Dugu Mou telling the story, he knelt down and kowtowed, begging: "Princess, Prince Consort, please save my young master. That Fang Jun eats people without spitting out bones and kills without showing blood. The young master is in trouble." Shaowa..."
Dugumou was speechless.
Princess Ankang sighed: "I'm afraid it's useless for me to look for Gao Yang. That girl is arrogant and has never been close to me. She may not give me this face. Why don't I go talk to Li Zhi..."
