"Master Qi, why are you still standing at the door and not coming in?" Lu Fangxuan shook the recliner and caught a glimpse of Qi Zi's figure through the crack in the door.
Qi Zi quickly adjusted his clothes a few times before walking in and saluting: "Sir, I have two things to report, and I was just thinking about countermeasures."
"Then let's talk about the important things first." Lu Fangxuan said.
"Wang Xiancheng, do you still remember the former Minister of Industry?"
Lu Fangxuan nodded slightly thoughtfully: "Of course I remember."
"He came to Nanjing today." Qi Zi looked at his expression specifically and continued: "I asked him why he didn't know he was here? He said that because he heard that His Majesty was coming back, he hurriedly came to meet him, so he left in a hurry. .”
Lu Fangxuan sneered disdainfully: "This guy is obviously greedy for his old position and wants me to start an uprising immediately. But according to your original idea, Wei Chong needs to be a scapegoat in order to get this minister to help us. Is the time right? Mature?"
"Wan Heshun relies on the evidence that I burned the documents, and is now preparing to search for my misdeeds and take over the work of the Liu Party. This matter must be entrusted to Wei Chong, who has been ordered to eliminate redundant, and he has a close relationship with us. If the case If he reveals anything else, he will be implicated. This kind of behavior that is harmful to others will definitely make him hesitate. While the matter is pending, you can invite him to come to the government to discuss the case. In fact, he is prepared to pay a heavy bribe. , then we have to act according to Qi’s plan.”
After Lu Fangxuan heard this discussion, he couldn't help but clapped his hands and cheered: "Qi is a real think tank! In just a few words, he has studied Wei Chong thoroughly. Invite him to the house quickly, and let Wan Dang know what's going on first, and then he will reveal it." Come out and take a look at the stormy waves!"
"Yes!" Qi Zi seemed to have aroused Lu Fangxuan's trust again, and the almost extinguished flame in his heart rekindled.
"please."
Ye Yongjia bent down and bowed, turned around and ordered his servants to make tea, and then sat down face to face with Xia Yuanlong.
"Why did Deputy Xia come here?" He took the two tea bowls handed over by the servant and placed them in front of Xia Yuanlong's table.
"I think it's a good thing that Liu Dang left," Xia Yuanlong put his folding fan aside. "When the emperor was here, the academy didn't say much, just because they were afraid that the government would bring out the emperor to suppress us. Now that we are driving back to Luang, is it convenient for the academy? Can you use your fists? After all, you are the leader in charge of Nanjing, and you are here to inquire about the future of the development of the New Deal."
Ye Yongjia smiled bitterly and said: "The situation in the party struggle is changing rapidly. I can't even guess one or two things accurately. How dare I speak to you? However, I have a suggestion. I suggest that Mr. Xia wait for five or six days for the real confrontation between Wan Lu. , and then make a judgment based on the situation.”
Xia Yuanlong smiled and said: "This is what Mr. Wei asked me to ask. Since Magistrate Ye has given you such kind advice, I am deeply grateful, so I will go back and tell him."
"I wish you a safe journey, sir, and I hope you can complete the New Deal as soon as possible!" Ye Yongjia didn't have time to persuade him to stay, so he stood in front of the door and said goodbye.
"Wei Chong pays homage to Duke Yue!" Wei Chong slowly knelt down with a serious expression on his face.
"You are a redundant person who was ordered to be laid off. You are different from ordinary subordinate officials. How can you give this great gift? The clerk is out of touch." Lu Fangxuan said and came to support his hand.
Wei Chong was overjoyed and did not refuse. He took the initiative to grab his hand and stood up.
"I heard that my subordinate Qi Zi has done some mischief, which really ruins the rules and discipline and is a disgrace to the country. I usually trouble the secretary, so please don't blame me."
Wei Chong knew that he was in Yue Mansion and did not dare to say wildly: "The leader of Qi is very good, or he may have been wronged. I don't know. After the villain investigated, I believe he was wronged."
Lu Fangxuan sighed twice: "The secretary office must not excuse him! This case is an important matter for the court. If there is an grievance, is it possible that no one above and below knows about it? It must be conclusive."
"So, I feel guilty and want to apologize to the Secretary's Office..." Lu Fangxuan took Wei Chong and gradually walked to the front and rear of the warehouse, "I have prepared one thousand three hundred taels of heavy silver in dozens of large boxes. They are all left in the warehouse, and the book office can take them at will."
Wei Chong's eyes widened when he heard this number. He counted on his fingers for a long time and almost fainted. He looked sincerely into Lu Fangxuan's eyes to confirm that he was not joking.
"This, this, this... you may not think this money is much, but I have never heard of this amount in my eight lives, and now I am really scared. If I want to be fair, I will give you less. I felt really uneasy after taking it."
"Secretary Wei, Mr. Lu just feels guilty and does not intend to bribe. That Qi Zi is a criminal and cannot be forgiven." After saying that, he clapped his hands lightly and two men came out of the warehouse and moved quickly. Lift out seventeen boxes of silver.
"Let Wei Shu's office move it to the mansion someday." After Wei Chong looked at it several times, Lu Fangxuan just ordered people to take it away temporarily.
Wei Chong looked at the boxes of money and couldn't stop crying. He just thanked Lu Fangxuan profusely. His compliments were overwhelming and he looked like he wanted to go to hell for him.
Lu Fangxuan was used to his tricks and didn't buy it. He continued to act according to the original plan: "Wei Shuban, this is an apology. Why do you thank me for the money you deserve? If you really feel sorry for me, thank you." My kindness is to make Commander Qi more famous and avoid the pain of prison. Although Qi Zi is a felony, he has a deep friendship with me and it is difficult to let go."
"Since I don't want to give up, I would like to slow down for a few days, so why should I force it?" Wei Chong couldn't help but smile as loyally as a domestic dog when he spoke.
"Although Fangxuan attaches great importance to the word friendship, how can the king allow criminals to hide with his splendid laws?" Lu Fang said righteously, "I won't protect you. Now tell him to go to the Yamen with you. Let's all lead him and come out!"
As soon as he roared, Qi Zi walked out from behind the warehouse. Without saying a word, he hurriedly looked at Wei Chong's feet and knelt down.
"Master Wei, spare my life!" Qi Zi's eyes gradually turned red, and his flashing eyes were full of affection.
Lu Fangxuan pointed at him and sighed: "Qi Zi, you have so many crimes, why do you ask Wei Shuban to spare you!"
After Qi Zi heard this, two lines of hot tears welled up from the corners of his eyes, and he cried: "This is all framed and framed by thousands of parties. How could Yue Gong not know it? I am trapped in this situation, and no one can save me!" After that, he lay down on his back. He cried bitterly on the ground.
Only then did Lu Fangxuan frown, his forehead wrinkled into the character "Sichuan", and he looked at Wei Chong sadly.
Wei Chong had received the benefit just now and was worried that he would have no chance to repay him, so he patted his arm and said: "Just what Mr. Lu said, as long as we can save everyone, I will not hesitate to die!"
"I just ask the Wei Secretary Office to make the case of Wan Heshun framing the dyers known to the world, and work together to deal with the scourge of Wan Dang in this world!"
Wei Chong actually took two steps back in horror, but then he thought: "During party disputes, it is normal for each other to expose each other's shortcomings. I have done this many times. I am afraid of what he will do this time!" After thinking about it, he mustered up the courage and nodded to the two of them.
