Seeing that Yang Fan really discovered the problem, Gu Bingcheng certainly had no energy to pay attention to Wang Zhiyuan anymore, but secretly warned not to reveal himself.
However, compared with the strict laws of the Tang Dynasty, Gu Bingcheng's warning seemed pale and weak, and Wang Zhiyuan gritted his teeth.
"Please tell me, Sir, that this account was copied by Sir Zhang this morning when he asked his subordinate to go to Mr. Gu's office and copy it according to his wishes. It has nothing to do with me."
Gu Bingcheng, who was still high-spirited at first, felt as if his tail had been stepped on, pointing at Wang Zhiyuan and threatening him sinisterly.
"Master Wang, please don't slander anyone. If you talk nonsense, His Highness the King of Wei will not be happy..."
The matter was already clear. Of course, Yang Fan would not give Gu Bingcheng a chance to act mischievously. He shouted in a cold voice: "Come here, take down Mr. Gu and hand it over directly to the Criminal Department."
Each department has some small officials who maintain order, but when these people came in, they looked at each other and did not dare to take action.
Seeing this scene, Gu Bingcheng became even more proud, raised his head and said to Yang Fan.
"My lord, I am a member of His Royal Highness the King of Wei. If you don't meet me when you look up, you should think twice before you act."
These words made Yang Fan laugh angrily. Gu Bingcheng had spent the past few years in official circles in vain.
It would be better if he didn't say it out loud. Even if Li Tai wanted to protect him, he would never dare to say he was Li Tai's person so blatantly.
Because this violated an official taboo, a small doctor who was supposed to serve the court and the emperor was now thinking about forming gangs. It was strange that Li Shimin looked good.
But it's not surprising that Gu Chengcheng was like this. He was protected by Zhang Zhongye in the past, and his backer was Wei Wang Li Tai.
I'm used to being arrogant and domineering in the host and guest department, and I have no scruples at all. It's understandable that I don't think so much when I get carried away.
Yang Fan's face darkened, and he said to the small official who came in: "Didn't you hear what I said? We, the people receiving the salary from the imperial court, should be loyal to His Majesty. If we dare to hesitate again, we will be severely punished."
As soon as these words came out, several petty officials didn't dare to delay any more. They raised their hands and said "offended" to Gu Bingcheng and prepared to take action.
Although Gu Bingcheng was slightly chubby, he was tall and powerful, and he directly attacked the few officials who were preparing to capture him.
The junior official never expected that Gu Bingcheng would dare to resist, and he was instantly overturned.
Gu Bingcheng turned to Yang Fan and said sternly: "I will go see His Highness the King of Wei right away and ask him to administer justice."
How could Yang Fan let Gu Bingcheng act recklessly on his own territory? He took a big step forward and grabbed Gu Bingcheng's wrist.
"As an official of the imperial court, he dared to frame his superiors, commit corruption and bend the law. Where is the imperial court, where is His Majesty, and where is the law of the Tang Dynasty..."
Gu Bingcheng, whose wrists were restrained, was like a caged animal, his eyes turned red, and he wanted to fight to the death.
However, in Yang Fan's opinion, Gu Bingcheng's resistance was just a desperate struggle. With a slight push on his hand, there was a click, and Gu Bingcheng screamed. It was obvious that the bones in his wrist had been broken.
He waved his hand and asked several clerks to drag Gu Bingcheng out directly, and the room fell silent instantly.
The principals looked at each other, but they didn't say anything. They were obviously stunned by Yang Fan's thunderous methods, and their eyes were full of fear.
Yang Fan did not offer any words of comfort or explanation. As a leader, you cannot always be pleasant. You must make your subordinates feel in awe, and the way to control them is to relax.
However, Li Yifu on the side was not only respectful but also full of joy.
After all, this Gu Bingcheng is finished.
Even if someone protects him, it is impossible for Gu Bingcheng to return to the host and guest department as a doctor.
How could Li Yifu not be overjoyed when he had the opportunity to go further?
This is also the reason why Yang Fan clearly took sides as soon as he came to the host and guest department.
But he didn't expect that Yang Fan would move so quickly and things would go so smoothly. He was filled with admiration in his heart, and it made him firmer in his position.
The reactions of these people were shown in his eyes one by one. Yang Fan nodded secretly and coughed dryly.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Gu would actually act like a villain. He is really to blame for himself. All my colleagues should be happy to get rid of the resident bug in the host and guest department."
"Don't worry, everyone, as long as everyone fulfills their duties faithfully, unites as one, does their best for the court, and is loyal to His Majesty, I believe that with your efforts, the Host and Guest Department will be able to flourish."
Everyone's mood gradually calmed down, and they all expressed their loyalty.
"Master Yang is indeed wise. It is an honor for me to have such an idea."
"I must be cautious in my words and deeds and try my best to cooperate with Mr. Yang's work."
Yang Fan smiled slightly: "In that case, I won't talk nonsense. I will get the budget of the host and guest department from the Ministry of Civil Affairs as soon as possible; however, Mr. Wang has to keep an eye on me. If there are any mistakes again, don't blame me..."
Wang Zhiyuan was so frightened that he nodded repeatedly in assurance. Yang Fan nodded with satisfaction and waved his hands to let everyone perform their duties.
For a moment, everyone looked at each other in confusion whether they wanted to leave or not.
It stands to reason that such a high-profile campaign to shake up the mountain and shake up the tiger is the so-called three things a new official takes office.
Shouldn't we strike while the iron is hot, either have a long speech, have a meal of chicken soup for the soul, or arrange future work to show our official authority?
Is it just the end of the story?
Everyone was filled with anxiety, and after exchanging glances, they had no choice but to turn around and leave.
"Everyone, wait a moment, there is one more thing..." Yang Fan said again.
The principals were frightened and trembling, and secretly cursed in their hearts: Just say it, how can it be done so easily, but you can't say it all at once, do you have to play this trick?
Although these people were unhappy, they did not dare to complain.
Looking at the trembling crowd, Yang Fan felt proud. Although he had never been an official, watching so many TV series was not for nothing.
"I have booked a few tables at the Yingke Building today at noon, and I would like to ask all my colleagues to show your favor. I hope you will take care of me in the future. People from various departments and the clerks must be notified in place. Okay, everyone is in your place, and quickly arrange the work at hand. Don’t wait until the time comes.”
"By the way, Yuanwailang will stay here first."
"Here!"
These people were dumbfounded again. The new Shangguan simply didn't play according to the routine.
According to the old rules, either the lower officials pooled their money to entertain the superior officials, or they had to eat from the public family.
However, there has just been an anti-corruption campaign, and of course they dare not mention taking advantage of the government again.
I planned to go back and discuss it and let everyone pool some money, but it seems that it is not necessary.
Yingke Building is a popular restaurant in Chang'an these days.
Although it has just opened, the interior is not only luxuriously decorated, the food and wine are famously delicious, but the prices are also notoriously expensive.
Officials from Qingshui Yamen like the Ministry of Rites did not even dare to enter there.
After all, a table of wine and food in the guest building costs less than half a year's salary.
No one declined. They also knew that the new minister in front of them could earn millions from an auction.
Even if you are jealous in a brothel, you can easily make hundreds of thousands of dollars, and you are known to be good at making money.
A small amount of money like a treat is a big expense for them, but the minister will naturally not take it seriously.
Even so, everyone was secretly grateful. After all, this Shangguan was not related to them, and he did not necessarily have to entertain them.
Now that I can go to Yingkelou to have a meal, I can also hang out with my colleagues for a while.
Thinking of this, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Yang Fan!
Seeing everyone's reaction, Yang Fan was secretly happy. He couldn't tell them that this restaurant was also his property, so he waved his hand.
"Okay, everyone, please leave now!"
"No..." Everyone left in an orderly manner with expressions of admiration.
Seeing everyone's respect and fear, Yang Fan secretly sighed, in officialdom, kindness and power are the only way to go.
Although I am a little disrespectful to those older officials, it feels so good to scold Fang Qiu!
