As the magistrate of Taikang County, Tan Shimin's life has always been very nourishing. Not only does he have four or five concubines, but he also maintains a lot of servants.
The back hall of the county government.
He stirred the tea foam with the lid of the tea cup, and couldn't help but think of the past in his mind.
I still remember that when I first came to Taikang and took office, I was full of enthusiasm, with ideals and ambitions, and I was determined to be a fair and honest official to benefit the people.
Until that murder case, Wei Hang appeared, bringing with him a dazzling pile of gold.
Tan Shimin also rejected, struggled, and hesitated.
But in the end, he fell into the trap under the auspices of two singers. From then on, he got on this pirate ship and could never get off again.
In the past two years, Wei Hang has gone too far and committed countless crimes. This has made Tan Shimin very worried and increasingly frightened. He always feels that one day the incident will come to light, like a sharp sword hanging above his head, which will fall at any time. .
While his thoughts were wandering, someone walked in. It was Wei Hang. He put on a fat face, held his hands with a smile and said: "Your Majesty."
Tan Shimin came back to his senses, put down the lid of the cup and glanced at him, with strong dissatisfaction in his tone: "Mr. Wei, what happened today!"
"It's just a small matter. Why should the county magistrate be too worried?" Wei Hang didn't care: "It's because Zhang Laoliu's daughter is so beautiful and lovely. She's just an old farmer. What kind of waves can she make? Now, isn't it already? Have you dealt with everything?"
Tan Shimin said: "He is just an ordinary citizen. Why do you have to get his daughter? Isn't this a robbery of a common girl! What will happen if this continues!"
Hearing this, Wei Hang was a little dissatisfied. He sat down on the other side of the small square table, poured himself a cup of tea, and said, "Master Tan, what you said is a bit uninteresting. Those little things I got Beauty, aren't you happy?"
"You!" Tan Shimin choked.
Wei Hang continued: "Also, if it weren't for me, would you have those lovely wives and concubines, and would you be able to live such a wealthy life today? Mr. Tan, you have to be conscientious in life."
Tan Shimin said: "There are so many singers in the world, but why do you want to do such a thing!"
"The county magistrate is ridiculous." Wei Hang said seriously: "Are those vulgar and vulgar girls as beautiful as pure girls? The innocent and natural girls who have just grown hair, are like a piece of flawless jade. This is the most touching thing. of."
"You, you are so shameless!" Tan Shimin held back for a while.
"Shameless?" Wei Hang smiled and said with a smile: "Master Tan, you are indeed a scholar. You can even speak righteously about the dirty things you have done. But don't forget, those girls I got, How many girls are even reluctant to leave me alone, so I would first send my virginity to accompany you!"
"Okay, I won't argue with you about this!" Tan Shimin was furious when the negative information was revealed again: "In short, you must restrain yourself in the future. It is best to be honest and law-abiding. Otherwise, something will happen, and I will also Sooner or later I will be killed by you!"
The corrupt official was panicked and worried every day, but Wei Hang did not agree and said sternly: "In this Taikang County, I am the richest person, and the county respects you as the most powerful person. As long as it is handled properly, how can Something may happen, just like the case of Zhang Laoliu today, wasn't it solved perfectly? As long as you and I work together, we will enjoy endless glory and wealth."
Tan Shimin frowned and looked at him: "Do you think that the IOU and the deed of sale you provided are impeccable? These things can be fooled on the surface, but they cannot withstand careful inspection! As long as you probe a little, flaws will be revealed."
"Those stupid people don't know anything!" Wei Hang said, picked up the tea cover, blew the tea foam, took a slow sip, smacked his lips and said: "Your Majesty, your tea is not good, I will ask my subordinates to give it to you tomorrow. You can send me a box."
"Stop talking about this!" Tan Shimin was undoubtedly a little irritable: "You know, Song Qi has had great opinions on me recently. The last county meeting almost ended in an unhappy situation."
"It's just a county lieutenant, so there's nothing to worry about." Wei Hang said, "No matter what, he is a subordinate official, how dare he show shame to the county magistrate?"
"What do you know?" Tan Shimin said angrily: "Song Qi is a Taikang County captain, in charge of Wuwei Mansion, and is the second assistant of a county. He is also an official of the imperial court. Although the county can appoint and remove county officials, but You can't depose the county captain, do you understand that?"
Then he added: "Judging from his cryptic attitude towards me now, it's not a good sign. If things go on like this, something might happen."
Wei Hang frowned slightly: "The county magistrate is worried that he will send a letter to the county governor?"
"It's not impossible."
"Does he have any evidence?"
"Having said that, if he impeaches the county magistrate, someone will inevitably come down." Tan Shimin glanced at him: "When the time comes, will it stand up to the investigation?"
"In that case, it's not a big deal." Wei Hang still looked like he was in control: "If that day comes, don't worry, the county magistrate, I will find a way to let the visitor go back without any gain."
Thinking that he was going to use the old method again, Tan Shimin sneered: "The supervisory censor is not something you can bribe!"
"Your Excellency, you have misunderstood." Wei Hang said with deep meaning: "There are many ways. Since bribery is not possible, there are other methods."
When Tan Shimin heard this, he took a deep breath. After thinking about it, he stopped talking about it and changed the topic: "By the way, where is Zhang Laoliu's daughter now?"
"Not dead, still alive." Wei Hang said in a relaxed tone.
Tan Shimin said: "This matter is not a child's play. It will inevitably lead to complications in the future. No matter what method is used, this woman must be dealt with well. She is the biggest flaw!"
"Of course, sir, don't worry. I will lock her up when I get back later, and she will never show up again." Wei Hang said.
Tan Shimin heard the meaning of the words and glared at him: "You haven't had enough fun yet!"
Wei Hangjian laughed and said, "Hey, this little girl is very fierce and just what I want. It would be a pity to throw it away now."
"You!" Tan Shimin was really angry this time. After a pause, he stood up and flicked his sleeves: "It's really hopeless!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to walk away, but at this moment, a servant hurried over and said with panic on his face: "Master, something happened!"
"What?" Tan Shimin's heart thought. He had done too many dirty things. Whenever there was bad news, he would subconsciously feel fear in his heart.
"The county lieutenant. The county lieutenant led his troops and rushed into the county government. They have already surrounded the place." The servant said in a trembling voice.
Hearing this, Tan Shimin looked at Wei Hang first, and then scolded: "Nonsense! Song County Lieutenant is Taikang's guardian. How dare you bring Jia here? Isn't that a deliberate rebellion?"
"Sir, this is true." The servant almost burst into tears.
After confirming again, Tan Shimin suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart. (End of chapter)
