More than ten days have passed since the New Year.
The people of Jiangling have not yet come out of the New Year atmosphere.
The New Year in Nanxiang County has already passed.
With Liu Chan in Jiangling City, various activities continued. In addition, Liu Chan rewarded meritorious ministers with a large amount of wealth. Naturally, the families of those meritorious ministers were spending a lot of money.
The process of consumption also prolongs the atmosphere of the New Year.
Unlike Jiangling, Nanxiang County is already in average development. In addition, there is still "Fu Papi" here. It will be great if we can not go hungry next year. How can we have a leisurely and leisurely New Year?
each and every family
What I think about is not about playing, but about survival.
Outside Nanxiang County, adjacent to the tributary of the Xiangjiang River, there is a newly built luxury manor courtyard.
The towering gate is carved with exquisite patterns, and two huge stone pillars stand in front of the door. The pillars are carved with various mythical beasts and immortals, which are lifelike.
As soon as you enter the courtyard, your eyes suddenly open up to a stretch of green grass, with delicate white slates paving the delicate lawn. Surrounding the lawn is a circle of carefully manicured flower beds, with colorful flowers blooming and exuding rich fragrance.
In the center of the courtyard is a magnificent garden pavilion, covered with glazed tiles and decorated with magnificent painted decorations.
The pavilion is surrounded by streamers and silks, swaying and dancing in the wind.
Inside the pavilion is a huge mahogany table, which is filled with a dazzling array of delicacies and all kinds of delicacies.
The courtyard is surrounded by towering old trees with umbrella-like canopies, providing shade and tranquility. Under the tree is a blue pond with rippling blue waves. There are all kinds of gorgeous fish living in the pond, like swimming colored gems.
At this moment, around the snowy pavilion, Fu Jie, the magistrate of Nanxiang County, was holding a glass seal in his hand and began to play with it carefully.
"This glazed seal is really a good thing!"
Fu Jie has a fat head and big ears, and a hollow face, as if he has been hollowed out by wine and sex.
In front of Fu Jie, a businessman with a mustache and a shrewd look said, "Isn't it? This is produced in the Nanyang Glazed Mine. I heard that only one piece can be produced a day. If you don't get the treasure, you can sell it to Wei State." Go, this glass seal costs one hundred thousand dollars!"
One hundred thousand dollars?
Fu Jie took a breath of air.
"Really a hundred thousand dollars?"
He looked at the merchant and thought he had heard wrongly.
"Don't tell me, when you get to Wei State, sometimes you have one hundred thousand dollars, but you still can't buy this glass seal!"
"A beautiful maid only costs 20,000 yuan, and a barbarian maid can cost even more than 10,000 yuan. Can this small seal be exchanged for five beautiful maids?"
Fu Jie looked incredulous.
When did money become so worthless?
"hehe."
The merchant smiled and said: "If the county magistrate doesn't want to buy it, I won't force it. This thing is not bad at all now. I have heard about the Zong family before. Uncle Zong Hui bought a glazed Buddha in the business alliance." , spent 200,000 yuan, but in the end, it changed hands and was sold for 300,000 yuan. Every time I came back, I could make a profit of 100,000 yuan!"
He looked at Fu Jie, who was getting more and more excited, and said with a chuckle: "Next time the county magistrate comes to buy it, maybe this glazed seal will cost more than 100,000 yuan."
Can it actually appreciate in value?
"Okay! I bought it!"
You won’t lose money if you buy it, and it will appreciate in value!
Why not?
Anyway, he has plenty of money.
When the merchant saw this, his face burst into laughter.
"Then I'll hand it over soon. I have other errands. Now I have to go to Jiangling County to transport the goods to Jiangdong."
Fu Jie nodded slightly.
He carefully placed the square glazed seal on the document and said softly: "Don't worry, I still have such a thing as credibility. Steward, I will withdraw one hundred thousand dollars from the treasury."
After that, he turned to look at the mustached merchant and said with a smile: "Don't let the business between you and me be made public."
The merchant with mustache showed an expression that everyone understood, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord County, I still understand the rules on the road. Moreover, even if the news is leaked, what will happen? Your Majesty is the governor of this place, and you are the Lord of the County. , spending one hundred thousand dollars, what’s the point?”
"You don't understand. It's better to keep a low profile."
When he thought of Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong, he couldn't help but feel depressed, and his brows furrowed tightly.
"In that case, I won't bother you anymore."
The mustached merchant left the courtyard of the luxurious manor with a smile.
He walked slowly onto the bullock cart, opened the window, and took one last look at the manor.
"This manor is quite nice. If we buy it in the future, it will be a good place to rest."
Turning around, he looked at the young man in green clothes beside the car and said, "The magistrate of Nanxiang County bought a glazed seal and spent one hundred thousand dollars. Please tell your highness the news."
Nowadays, the merchants who can do business in Jingzhou are all registered in the merchant alliance.
Most of them accepted Liu Chan's errands.
Explore the sentiments of the people!
If you get useful information, you can be rewarded and increase your next business quota.
Like glass objects.
This time when the merchant with the mustache came out, he could only bring out five items.
But after you have made meritorious deeds and improved your 'performance points', you will be able to bring out ten glazed objects the next time you go out to do business.
As long as he knows how to blow.
If you sell ten glazed objects to these rich people, you can earn millions of dollars in income. The net profit is between hundreds of thousands of dollars. With such a huge profit, so what if you work as a spy for the crown prince of Hanzhong and collect information? ?
This is not a hundred dollars, a thousand dollars.
This is hundreds of thousands of dollars!
Enough of working hard!
At the same time, he had already guessed the fate of the Nanxiang County magistrate.
He will definitely be dealt with by the Crown Prince of Hanzhong.
When he came to Nanxiang County, he knew the nursery rhymes here.
The rats in the official warehouse are as big as a bucket, and they won't leave when someone opens a warehouse.
The healthy children have no food and the people are hungry. Who will send the king to the king's mouth?
It was Fu Jie who was talking about this.
From Qianzhuang to Houzhuang, every village has a mother-in-law, who acts as the groom every day, enters the bridal chamber every night, and has been a county honorary for three years. Looking back, all the children look like me, the county honorary.
Tsk tsk tsk!
How long can such a person live even if he has a Sheriff?
After the mustache merchant left, another carriage stopped in front of the courtyard of the luxurious manor.
The person who got off the carriage and horse was none other than the accounting official who had gone to Jiangling to present the documents ten days ago.
Thinking of Nanxiang County being rated as good or bad, the planner felt a little scared.
My future?
No!
What I should be thinking about now is no longer my own future.
But my own life, can I save it when the time comes?
His Highness will definitely send someone to Nanxiang County to thoroughly investigate the news.
If the county magistrate doesn't make some changes, I'm afraid it will be the end of the world.
That's why.
The planner got off the carriage and headed towards the luxurious courtyard in a hurry.
now.
In the pavilion.
After Fu Jie put away the glass seal, he didn't take it to heart anymore.
One hundred thousand dollars may be a huge amount of money to others.
But to him, it was just a drop in the bucket.
Especially in the past few months, the trade routes have been smooth, and he has made more profits from it than in the previous three years!
After making money, how can we not enjoy it?
Therefore, he asked his friends to buy two beauties from Jiangdong.
It cost a lot of money.
No less than the Fang Liuli seal just now.
The beauties from the Jiangnan water town are gentle, considerate and charming, yet cool and arrogant outside.
Fu Jie likes her more than northern women.
For example, the two beauties in front of him made him unable to help but take off his clothes.
I saw Mei Ji on the left, wearing a light dance skirt, the skirt was cut extremely short, revealing her slender and charming legs. Her upper body was only wearing a close-fitting low-cut tights. The material was thin and exposed her graceful figure.
Her skin is as delicate as white jade, exuding a slight fragrance. Her hair is spread over her shoulders, flowing and moving like a black waterfall.
The end is pure.
The girl on the right has bright and charming eyes, which seems to have a hint of provocation. Her eyebrows are long and charming, like a perfect arc. Her lips were bright red, slightly raising a charming smile, exuding a charming allure.
How can you bear this?
Fu Jie was about to take care of the matter on the spot.
But at this moment, the steward stepped forward to report.
"The county magistrate went to Jiangling to congratulate His Highness. The planner who wrote the letter has returned. He said that he has something important to report to the county magistrate."
An official?
Know something.
"Didn't you see I was busy!"
This iron-like weapon is exposed. How can it be sheathed without breaking him?
"The planner said things are extremely urgent!"
Urgent?
Fu Jie snorted lightly and had no choice but to put away his clothes in a hurry.
"You go to the room, clean up and wait for me."
As he spoke, he patted the plump part hard, and then said to the steward with an unhappy look on his face: "Let the chief planner come over. If there is no urgent matter and he dares to disturb the good things of this county, I will definitely call him." Better off!"
Not long after, the official with a bitter look on his face came forward.
"Your Majesty, something serious has happened!"
He slowly told in detail what happened in Jiangling City.
Then he came to another conclusion.
"His Highness's expression at that time was as if he wanted to eat his subordinates. In the past ten days, he must have sent people to thoroughly investigate the situation. If the county minister wants to land safely, he still needs the help of the government minister, and the county minister should also restrain himself. "
Have you sent someone to investigate thoroughly recently?
Fu Jie's pupils shrank.
"Yesterday, there was indeed a group of people who claimed to be officials from the Prince's Palace. They went to the city to talk to many people and checked many rosters. Could it be that His Highness has already sent someone to start?"
His heart skipped a beat.
Bad thoughts immediately emerged from my mind.
"quick!"
He shouted to the steward: "Prepare your carriage and horses quickly, I want to go into the city to see my father!"
His Highness is a decisive person in killing.
If His Highness knew what he was doing in Nanxiang County, why not cut him into eight pieces?
Before the matter is exposed, go to your father, who is the county guard, and ask him to think of a solution!
"promise!"
The steward also knew the seriousness of the matter.
This beautiful girl from Jiangdong sent it, but even the county magistrate forgot to enjoy it, which shows the panic in his heart.
soon.
The carriages and horses were then ready.
The luxurious carriage is comparable to that of a prince.
Fu Jie got on the carriage and was about to leave the mansion when he heard the steward from the front running over with a panicked look on his face and said, "Your Majesty, something is wrong. The manor is surrounded by a large army."
The army is surrounding you?
Although Fu Jie was panicked, his heart was filled with anger.
In Nanxiang County, who dares to send troops to surround me?
He immediately got off the carriage and walked out the door.
There was indeed a huge gathering of troops.
And looking at the soldiers covered in armor, they don't seem to be local state and county soldiers.
He was slightly panicked, but the panic at this moment made them feel scared.
I'm not afraid!
I can't let them see my weakness!
Fu Jie shouted loudly at the gate of the manor: "My father is the governor of Nanxiang County. How dare you come to surround me? What crime have I committed?"
"snort!"
Guan Xing came forward on a tall horse, the silver gun in his hand shining brightly in the sunlight.
"You have taken bribes and perverted the law, bullied men and dominated women, and neglected your duties. This is already a capital crime!"
After saying that, he waved his right hand, as if there were soldiers coming forward, ready to control Fu Jie.
Unexpectedly, Fu Jie shouted loudly and summoned dozens of armored guards to protect him.
"My father is Fu Fang, the governor of Nanxiang County. Who dares to capture me?"
"snort!"
Guan Xing snorted coldly and said, "Your father, who is he?"
Guan Xing waved and saw two prison cars coming up behind him. In the first prison car, a fat middle-aged rough man was being held.
If it’s not Fu Jie’s father Fu Fang, who is he?
"Father?"
Fu Jie was stunned.
"What do you think? Do you want to fight stubbornly, or do you want to get into the prison car?"
Still resisting?
How many songs does Zhuangzhong have?
How to withstand the army sent by the crown prince of Hanzhong?
He could only look desperate and motioned for everyone to put down their weapons.
"The sin is mine alone and has nothing to do with my father."
If he dies, the whole family can survive.
He died a worthy death.
Anyway, in this life, you have already enjoyed everything you should enjoy.
Guan Xing said disdainfully: "Your Highness will decide how to deal with it."
Guan Xing led the Wuyi soldiers to control Fu Jie and sent him prisoner all the way south.
The destination is naturally Jiangling where Liu Chan is.
"The assets of Fu Fang, Fu Jie and his son from various places in Nanxiang County have been seized. After that, the Prince's Mansion will come to inspect and accept them! If anyone hides them, they will end up like the father and son!"
Corrupt officials can no longer hide their belongings from those who are interested!
Three days later.
Gangneung City Plaza.
A temporary judgment seat was built. At this moment, three to four thousand people came and watched around the judgment seat.
Pang Tong, as the judge, sat on the stage.
On the trial stage, the corrupt magistrate Fu Jie was trembling all over, his knees were shaking, sweat was dripping from his forehead, and his fear was palpable. His robe was soaked with sweat, and there were several clear blood stains on his shirt. It was obvious that he had suffered some torture during the interrogation.
At this moment, he was fixed on the shelf and could not move.
The people in the audience were extremely angry and aggrieved. They cursed the corrupt official loudly and felt deeply indignant at his greed and corruption. Some people's eyes were wide-eyed and furious, and they were willing to cut off his sinful throat with their own hands with swords.
These days, under the propaganda of Liu Chan's propaganda machine, Fu Jie has become a heinous and corrupt official. Whether it is his crime or not, he is always blamed!
When the warm-hearted people heard about it, they wished they could come forward in person, eat his flesh raw, and drink his blood raw.
Pang Tong looked at the corrupt magistrate coldly on the court, without any mercy. He was aloof and his every word and deed seemed extremely majestic.
"Fu Jie, the magistrate of Nanxiang County, has ten crimes: first, exploiting the common people; second, collecting water, springs, and ponds; third, he committed crimes."
The people in the audience kept raising evidence to catch the corrupt official and accusing him of his crimes.
The ironclad evidence was placed in front of everyone, making Fu Jie despair and ashamed.
"Your Highness, I am willing to forgive, I am willing to change my ways and be a new person!"
He could only beg hard, hoping that Liu Chan would forgive his crime, but his plea for mercy seemed so weak amidst the angry curses of the people.
Fu Jie's lips trembled as he tried to defend himself, but was unable to defend himself.
He knew that he had no way to escape and would face severe sanctions and punishment.
"Fu Jie is worse than an animal, and his crime deserves to be punished. Your Highness has an order to give him the punishment of being skinned. He will skin human beings to serve as a warning to future generations of officials!"
"Where is the executioner?"
The executioner's officials immediately stepped forward.
Liu Chan had been looking for a craftsman who could completely peel off human skin for a long time.
In front of everyone, the executioner began to torture.
The people watching the execution were originally very excited, thinking that they were going to watch another good show.
But most of the people couldn't bear it after watching half of it.
It's too awful!
Many people vomited on the spot and fled from the trial platform, but there were still many people who watched the entire execution process with trembling hands.
To say it was torture would be an understatement.
After a complete piece of human skin is peeled off, it will be sewn together with needles and threads. Some are made into skin drums, blown up by the wind or filled with straw, and hung in front of the Tutu Temple next to the official residence.
Although the punishment was harsh, it was not enough for Liu Chan!
At this moment, he directly transformed into Zhu Yuanzhang.
His grandma's.
Being a corrupt official and bullying the people, right?
Asked me if Mr. Liu had an heir!
Liu Chan didn't believe it anymore.
His treatment is much higher than that in the Ming Dynasty, and I let him indulge in petty greed.
But if you still dare to be a corrupt official, don't blame me for peeling off your skin, stuffing it with straw, and hanging it on the temple door!
