After Nie Lingshan got the package, he opened it and looked at it for a while, then his face turned green, really green.
This package is full of evidence about the crimes of General Lin Ye. What's the point of giving it to Jiao Hong, the imperial censor?
"this......"
Nie Lingshan looked at Jiao Hong with a troubled expression: "Your Majesty, please let me go to Fengtai to check. Are these things true?"
Jiao Hong said with a smile: "After all, this is the responsibility of Shangfengtai."
With just this sentence, Nie Lingshan stopped what he wanted to say, because this was indeed the responsibility of Shangfengtai.
When Emperor Taizu created Shangfengtai, his purpose was to curb the unscrupulous culture of officials at that time.
The responsibilities of Shangfengtai are written into Dayu's laws, so he can't cheat even if he wants to.
"I know that this matter will make Mr. Nie a little embarrassed. After all, it concerns a general who has just been transferred to Jingzhou, and his status is really special."
Jiao Hong said with trust: "However, I think Emperor Taizu once said that the people at Shangfengtai can be selected because each of them is a warrior, and they are all the pillars of Dayu. "
Speaking of this, Jiao Hong looked at Nie Lingshan, with trust and hope in his eyes.
"Master Nie, if this matter can be handled well, it is very important for Dayu to find out the authenticity. If the death is true, Master Nie and I will work together to eliminate this national traitor. If it is false, Master Nie and I will work together to protect the pillars. "
His words were so beautiful, so righteous, and so solemn that Nie Lingshan really couldn't say anything else.
Nie Lingshan thought for a moment and then said: "This matter is indeed serious. Please give me a day or two. I will take these things back and take a closer look. I will also discuss with my men where to start."
Jiao Hong suddenly became happy, took Nie Lingshan's hand and said, "Master Nie has lived up to the legacy of Shangfengtai. I am deeply gratified."
Nie Lingshan thought to himself that Shangfengtai had a fart inheritance. Ever since Emperor Taizu established this rule, which of the adults in Yushitai would really dare to be honest with the people of Shangfengtai?
"Then, I will take my leave first."
Nie Lingshan picked up the package, stood up and left.
Shangfengtai, a small government office, was suddenly thrust into the spotlight.
Nie Lingshan's steps became particularly heavy when he went back, because he knew very well that no matter what he did, he might not get it right.
If it is verified, can he take the credit for being on the windshield? They must all belong to the Royal Censor.
If there is no problem in the investigation, if General Lin Ye has any grievances, Master Du Yushi will probably betray Shangfengtai immediately.
After leaving Jiao Hong's place, Nie Lingshan looked at the sky and saw that it was almost noon. After he stopped, he thought for a moment and turned back.
Seeing him coming back, Jiao Hong thought he had changed his mind, so he immediately asked: "Master Nie has gone and returned, but is there anything important that he forgot to mention?"
Nie Lingshan said: "I feel ashamed to say it. I came back because I wanted to borrow some money from Mr. Capital Censor..."
Jiao Hong was stunned.
Nie Lingshan said: "This matter is too big. Master Du Shi also knows that if the investigation continues, there will be many crises. Among my brothers, some may be injured or some may lose their lives..."
"To be honest, with their little salary, no one makes less than three taels of silver a month, but they have to handle such a big case, and they may even lose their lives because of it..."
After hearing what he said, before he could finish his words, Jiao Hong immediately said: "This money cannot be regarded as a loan from Mr. Nie. It is what the Fengwen Daobi Sect of Shangfengtai deserves."
The chief officer of Shangfengtai is called Fengwen Xiaowei, the adjutant is called Fengwen Brigade, and the errands below are all called Fengwen Daobi.
In Dayu, when it comes to talking about who is a small official, the people on the upper stage feel that they are also looked down upon.
Seeing Jiao Hong's generosity, Nie Lingshan quickly thanked him non-stop. It was the time when Jiao Hong was employing people, so of course he couldn't be stingy.
He ordered people to collect one thousand taels of silver and asked Nie Lingshan to take it back.
Although the yamen of Shangfengtai is not big, there are dozens of knife and pen orders, and each person only needs a dozen taels to divide the thousand taels of silver.
After Nie Lingshan returned to Shangfengtai, he asked his adjutant Zhu Xiaozhu to come over. He also called all the brothers together. After he and Zhu Xiaozhu had discussed it, he would talk to everyone about the matter.
Zhu Xiaozhu is about thirty years old. He seems to be a very shrewd man, but his eyes are quite clear.
He was Nie Lingshan's handpicked assistant and his absolute confidant. For this reason, Zhu Xiaozhu was not grateful to him at all and would scold Nie Lingshan from time to time.
If Nie Lingshan hadn't seconded him from the army, he might have become a fifth-grade general by now.
"Are you crazy?!"
After Zhu Xiaozhu read the items in the package, his expression immediately changed.
He looked into Nie Lingshan's eyes and said word by word: "What is the identity and status of General Lin Ye now? Can we offend him?"
Nie Lingshan sighed: "What you said is very light. The general is not someone we can offend. Could it be that Lord Censor is someone we can offend?"
Zhu Xiaozhu: "Nie Lingshan, I want to bite you to death now. If you hadn't lied to me and said you would take me to a quiet yamen with a high salary and nothing to do, and the most important thing was to be respected, I would have followed you to this ghost place. ? It’s better now, I have to follow you to death.”
Nie Lingshan said: "Look, you mentioned this again. If you hadn't been greedy back then, would you have been deceived by me?"
Zhu Xiaozhu: "Your uncle!"
Nie Lingshan: "My uncle has been dead for many years. Please don't disturb his spirit in heaven."
Zhu Xiaozhu: "If your uncle finds out, he will come down and slap you in the mouth."
Nie Lingshan: "I don't believe it. My uncle must be on my side."
Zhu Xiaozhu stared at him hard.
Nie Lingshan immediately changed his face and said with a smile: "This matter is indeed our responsibility at Shangfengtai, we cannot refuse it."
Zhu Xiaozhu: "What benefits have I gained from following you all these years? Now you are trying your best to let me do it."
Nie Lingshan: "You can't say that. Haven't I given up 70% to 80% of the jobs I took over to you?"
Zhu Xiaozhu: "You still have the nerve to say, is it embarrassing or not? A dignified court official goes out to preside over red and white affairs in order to support his family. I am afraid of being laughed out of my mouth even if I say it!"
Nie Lingshan: "Didn't you laugh your ass off when you were collecting cash?"
Zhu Xiaozhu said: "It costs five taels of silver to host a white event, eight taels of silver to host a red event, and I still want to laugh out loud?"
Nie Lingshan: "This is the price given because of your status as an official. Otherwise, if you want to host it for others, they will let you go?"
He said: "If you don't want to do it, give me back the money you earned from the work I've given you over the years."
Zhu Xiaozhu: "What you think is beautiful."
He looked at the package and frowned in thought.
About half a moment later, his eyes suddenly brightened, he leaned in front of Nie Lingshan and said in a low voice: "I have thought of a way, if you do as I say, this matter can be covered up, and I promise not to let Du Yu Shi will put on some shoes for you."
Nie Lingshan immediately asked: "What idea did you come up with?"
Zhu Xiaozhu said: "When you go home later, take these evidences out of the Yamen. I will lead my brothers to pretend to be gangsters, snatch the evidences away halfway, and then burn them on fire."
Nie Lingshan's eyes widened: "What the hell are you doing?"
Zhu Xiaozhu said: "It's not like you lost it, it was snatched away by someone. You are weak, so of course you can't resist it."
Nie Lingshan said: "If Master Censor of Capital asks me, why do you take such important evidence home?"
Zhu Xiaozhu said: "Just say that you knew the matter was urgent, so you brought these things home to find a solution as soon as possible."
Nie Lingshan thought for a while and finally sighed: "That's it, let's do it."
Zhu Xiaozhu smiled and said: "Don't worry, this matter can't involve me."
Nie Lingshan: "Huh? What the hell are you talking about?"
Zhu Xiaozhu said: "What I mean is that there is no chance of any accident happening in this matter, just don't worry."
After dark, as agreed, Nie Lingshan carried the things Jiao Hong gave him on his back and left the Yamen to go home.
When they arrived at a relatively secluded and dark place, Zhu Xiaozhu rushed out with his face covered and kicked Nie Lingshan on the back.
If he had been very strong with this kick, he would have scored eleven points. Even Nie Lingshan would not believe it if there was no personal grudge involved.
Kicking Nie Lingshan to the ground, Zhu Xiaozhu glanced at the package that fell on the ground. He actually didn't take it. Instead, he rode on Nie Lingshan and shot a few big mouths with his bow from left and right towards Nie Lingshan's face.
Nie Lingshan was stunned and wanted to struggle, but Zhu Xiaozhu lowered his voice and said: "You'd better be honest and don't beat you really hurt, who can believe you? You think I want to beat you, why don't you? Hello."
Nie Lingshan: "You'd better do it for my own good."
After Zhu Xiaozhu punched and kicked him for a while, he stood up and pointed at Nie Lingshan: "Take off this stinky official's pants and hang him upside down!"
Those men were also confused.
Nie Lingshan: "I advise you not to go too far..."
Zhu Xiaozhu: "It's all for your own good."
He rushed forward again, tore off Nie Lingshan's cuffs without any explanation, and used the sleeves as ropes to tie Nie Lingshan's arms.
Then he pulled down Nie Lingshan's pants, which at least left some dignity for Nie Lingshan, leaving the trousers on.
Then he tore his pants, picked up a piece of it, and stuffed it into Nie Lingshan's mouth.
After finishing, Zhu Xiaozhu waved his hand: "The wind is blowing hard."
Nie Lingshan said in his heart - what the hell is this? You - this is so fucking exciting.
Zhu Xiaozhu ran away with a few confused men and took away the evidence. If he forgot about this and simply beat Nie Lingshan, then the two of them would definitely be sworn enemies. Deadly feud.
It didn't take long for the news to reach Jiao Hong's ears.
Jiao Hong hurried to the scene with his entourage and found Nie Lingshan still in a miserable state.
It is said that he was tied to a light pole at the entrance of the alley just now. He had no pants and his nose and face were bruised and swollen.
He didn't believe it at first, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he realized that the person who reported the news was actually quite conservative in what he said.
"Master Nie, Master Nie?"
Jiao Hong walked closer and called twice, but Nie Lingshan turned his head, not having the nerve to see Jiao Hong.
"Master Nie, are you okay?"
Jiao Hong shouted again.
Nie Lingshan suddenly knelt down and said: "Xia Guan is incompetent, but he was robbed by a group of thieves. They probably thought that Xia Guan was carrying something valuable and... took it away."
When Jiao Hong saw that he was so wronged, he quickly comforted him: "If you lose it, just lose it. Mr. Nie doesn't need to blame himself so much."
Nie Lingshan said: "But this official can't afford such a big event. I feel ashamed of your trust in me..."
Jiao Hong said: "They are all written things. What I gave you was a copy I had someone copy. I still have it here, so you don't have to be so sad."
As soon as Nie Lingshan raised his head, two words flashed in his eyes... I'm here? !
