Chapter 571: Repentance
It's definitely not an easy step. In Zhang Jun's career, it is not without encountering people who offer favors and bribes. But without exception, they were all reprimanded and rejected by Zhang Jun. The difference between the former self and the present one, Zhang Jun used to think about being motivated and for the future, so he refused to destroy himself. Besides, the number of people sent by those people really made Zhang Jun look down on him.
After Zhang Jun became the third envoy, he actually felt a little bit of a gap. The gap between reality and ideals is so huge, after becoming the three envoys, he realized that the so-called juxtaposition of the two governments and three divisions is just a joke. He, the third envoy, must obey the leadership of the government hall, and even the Privy Council is pointing fingers from time to time. His plan is only nice in name, but the reality is actually very helpless.
Zhang Jun saw that it was impossible for the three divisions to return to the glory of the past, and it was impossible for him to go further, so after coming to the capital, Zhang Jun inevitably had some fatigue and laziness. After witnessing the prosperity of the capital and the luxury of his colleagues, he inevitably developed an idea of wanting to enjoy life. It's just that he doesn't have the conditions to do so. But now, with the silver of the white flowers, the rich rewards of the future are there, within reach, and this temptation is almost fatal.
Under the lamplight of the study, Zhang Jun was like an ant on a hot pot, anxious and hesitant. He held the letter and the agreement to the candle flame several times and prepared to burn them, but put them down again several times. Of course he will be entangled, he knows that once he takes this step, all the persistence in the first half of his life will be ruined. But if he refuses, the reality hurts him very much, and there is nothing worth holding onto. Under this tangled emotion, looking at the silver on the ground seemed to grin and laugh at him. Zhang Jun was annoyed and overturned a silver ingot plate, spilling silver ingots all over the ground, but soon, Zhang Jun hurriedly picked them up one by one. He didn't hesitate to crawl into the corner under the desk like a dog to pick up the silver ingots, and then put them on the table and wiped them spotlessly, and then set them up.
Zhang Jun was entangled in this situation until the fourth watch, and at this time, because Zhang Jun had not been seen for a long time to return to the room to rest, his wife Li came to the study to look for it, and suddenly saw the silver all over the ground, and the startled voice was like a cat that had been stepped on its tail. Then the whole person fell into the silver and groaned with happiness. Zhang Jun was suddenly moved by such a scene. It turns out that it is such a simple thing to give happiness to your own women, and for so many years, wives and concubines have followed them to suffer and suffer, and they have given them some happiness and let them enjoy happiness, what's wrong? There's nothing wrong with that.
At this point, all the entanglements and struggles were crushed and collapsed by this small straw after the arrival of the Li family.
"Master, where did you get so much silver? So much...... So much silver. I...... I'm not dreaming. Li asked with tears in his eyes.
"Madam, I'm not dreaming, all this money is ours. There will be more in the future. Zhang Jun said softly.
"Really? Then we can buy a house, invite maids and servants, take a carriage, wear new clothes, eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, and wear gold, silver and jewelry? Li exclaimed excitedly.
"Yes, you can spend it however you want. You can use it however you want. Zhang Jun said softly.
Many years later, many times, Zhang Jun would think of that tormented night in the study, and remember the tears of joy that his wife had that night. Zhang Jun knew that after that night, he couldn't turn back.
There are some things in the world that once you try them, you will become addicted to them. For example, once you take one of the medicines, the feeling will be unforgettable for your life. Therefore, the dignitaries did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to invite those warlocks who were familiar with the art of Huang Lao to refine Jin Shi San at home to take it. For example, in the case of men and women, ignorant teenagers do not know the bliss of life, but once they taste it, they will eat the marrow and know the taste and cannot extricate themselves. Bribery is obviously one of them.
Since he has already started, Zhang Jun can't hold back, and in the following ten years, Zhang Jun's appetite has become bigger and bigger, and there are more and more famous means. In addition, the two deputy envoys who were promoted were all like-minded people, and each of them had a good way of collecting money, so the chief officials and some officials of the entire three divisions and yamen had already tacitly acknowledged it. So much so that many means of accumulating wealth have gradually become a common practice. For example, taking kickbacks, deducting money, falsely reporting appropriations, and so on have become the norm in the three divisions and yamen.
While Zhang Jun is enjoying the joy of accumulating wealth, his guilt is also rising. He knew that one day the hanging knife would fall and he would be unlucky. So he was unusually cautious. As I said before, he never left any witnesses or evidence, just to prevent a day.
However, the only flaw was the sharing agreement signed with Lin Bonian. Although it was the initial agreement, the sharing ratio has been adjusted twice since then, the most recent time was the year before last, and his younger brother Zhang Yi didn't know what means he used to force the Lin family to divide into four or six parts. In the two subsequent increases in the sharing ratio, Zhang Jun did not sign any more sharing agreements, but only verbally agreed. This is naturally Zhang Jun becoming shrewd and careful, on the day of the first study, he really had no experience, so he signed the so-called sharing agreement.
Zhang Jun always felt that one of the agreements was in the hands of Lin Bonian, as if he had grabbed his handle. In the days that followed, Zhang Jun asked for the agreement many times, intentionally or unintentionally, but Lin Bonian said that he didn't find the agreement, maybe it was burned as waste paper. Zhang Jun was skeptical, but there was nothing he could do. You can't go to Lin Bonian's house to search for it. And if he behaves too cautiously, he will also make Lin Bonian aware of something. It's best to expect this agreement to be really burned as waste paper. Then there will be no more evidence in the hands of others.
……
In the public room, Zhang Jun, who was sitting there, was holding an official document in his hand, but his mind was full of cranky thoughts. Even if the past two days have been calm, there is no news about the Sansi Yamen in the court, and he did not receive any unusual eyes when he went to the court, but Zhang Jun is still frightened and difficult to settle down. He knew that even if he was lucky enough to escape this catastrophe, he would at least be responsible for his ineffective subordinates. However, this responsibility is not big, and I can still accept it. Zhang Jun has already thought about it, and at that time, he will take the initiative to admit his mistake and take the initiative to punish himself for one year. Lowering your posture is the best choice at this time.
The hoarse sound of cicadas outside the door suddenly stopped, and the public room became extremely silent for a moment, and at this moment, Zhang Jun heard footsteps. It was the sound of hurried, chaotic footsteps.
When he looked up at the door in shock, he happened to see the figure of Cheng Fang Dunru, who was tall and wearing a scarlet official robe, with sweat on his face and a red sun, appeared at the door.
Zhang Jun stood up in shock and squinted at Fang Dunru. As soon as Fang Dunru's eyes met, Zhang Jun knew that things were in trouble.
Although they didn't speak, the moment the two made eye contact, there was actually a simple conversation.
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm here to get you. You can't escape my palm, that's today. ”
After Fang Dunru entered the door, he stood in the public room with his hands in his hands, and shouted in a deep voice with a cold face: "Zhang Jixiang, Fang Mou came without telling me, please forgive me." Please Lord Fang move and go to my Imperial History Observatory Yamen. ”
Zhang Jun stammered and blurted out: "What? I...... Don't go. ”
Fang Dunru said in a deep voice: "Please also ask Lord Zhang to move, so as not to be forcibly arrested and lose face." ”
Zhang Jun's throat was dry, and he swallowed hard and spitted and shouted, "Are you here to get me?" Why do you take me? I'm going to see the emperor, and I'm going to see Yang Shumi. ”
Fang Dunru shouted in a deep voice: "Lord Zhang, the old man is here by edict. You have committed a crime, and the relevant evidence has been handed over to the emperor for review, and the emperor approved me to ask Master Zhang to go to the Yamen of the Imperial Historical Observatory to explain and explain. Lord Zhang, don't be stubborn, you know, if there is no evidence and the emperor's permission, I will not come here to invite you. As for the Yang Jun Yang Shumi, what do you see him doing? Both Yang Shumi and Lu Xiang have already expressed their positions in front of the emperor, resolutely support acting in accordance with the law, and agree to detain and interrogate you under the available evidence. Do you understand? ”
Zhang Jun was cold, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly shouted, "What evidence do you have?" Someone else's bite is not evidence. I'm a big one, a dignified envoy, you can't just arrest me. Is there still a rule and a national law? ”
Fang Dunru smiled and said, "Lord Zhang, the old man knows that you have always been cautious and careful, and my Yushitai will definitely not take you without any physical evidence." Let me tell you the truth, Lin Bonian has turned into a tainted witness, and he reported you for using your position to seek personal gain. Falsely report the allocation of the transportation and participate in the sharing of the transportation funds. Receiving huge bribes from others. ”
"Bloody mouth, bloody mouth." Zhang Jun shouted.
"Really? There is an agreement you made with Lin Bonian ten years ago, I don't know if you still remember. That agreement is signed with your Zhang Jun's name. Fang Dunru sneered.
With just this sentence, Zhang Jun was like five thunderbolts, and his whole body stiffened. Sure enough, the thing that I had been worried about, the only flaw I had been in behind, was exposed. The agreement was still there, and Lin Bonian had not lost it from beginning to end, so he took it out and pulled himself into the water. At this moment, Zhang Jun secretly scolded himself for being a woman and for being too stupid. In fact, during the time that Lin Bonian was in prison, Zhang Jun thought about simply killing Lin Bonian in the cell. Then the only person who threatens him is gone, and he can rest easy. But he just can't let go of this ruthlessness, or he has been holding on to luck.
But now, it's over.
Zhang Jun's anger surged, his eyes were dark, and his body fell to the ground softly.
