Chapter 110: Windfall
There will be many firsts in a person's life, some are happy, some are painful, and some are inexplicable.
Tang Ning lived for fifteen years in this life and another twenty-five years in his last life. Forty years in total, but he never imagined that one day he would actually teach a talker the truth of being an official in prison......
"First of all, you have to know, why did you get caught in the prison of the Criminal Department?"
"Because I'm corrupt and take bribes?"
Tang Ning held his forehead and said, "...... Didn't you say it yourself, they put this name on you? ”
Qin Wenju scratched his head and said, "That's true, but it's also true that the rich businessman paid for me to cure my sister's illness." ”
"Okay, then follow your ideas." Tang Ning said helplessly: "Since you think that you came in because of corruption and bribery, when did that rich businessman pay you to cure your sister's illness?" ”
Qin Wenju rolled his eyes hard, and counted for a long time before replying, "It was about five years ago." ”
"Five years, five years ago!" Tang Ning sighed: "It happened five years ago, why did the Imperial City Division not settle accounts with you until today?" ”
"Because they found out?"
"Oh my God...... Tang Ning covered his face with his hands and said, "You are an official who is only made by the shade!" ”
"Yikes! How do you know? Qin Wenju looked at Tang Ning as if he had seen a ghost.
Tang Ning said helplessly: "A fresh and refined official like you can't think of any other way for you to bypass the imperial examination and become an official except for Yin Bu." ”
Qin Wenju sighed and said sadly: "Mine is the Zhizhou of Dengzhou, but unfortunately he left early, leaving me to rely on my sister and my seriously ill mother......
Downing wanted to interrupt, he wasn't interested in hearing this guy's backstory. It's not early, and the noise in the entire prison of the Criminal Department has gradually become smaller, and after a while, I'm afraid there will only be the sound of two people whispering.
He didn't want to be the center of attention on his first day here, and besides, he was so exhausted that he just wanted to go to bed early tonight.
But looking at Qin Wenju's sad look when he recalled the past, Tang Ning was afraid of angering this man who talked a lot and was emotional. When the time comes, he will be angry, shouting at himself, and it will be difficult for him not to become the focus of attention.
So he had to listen patiently to Qin Wenju.
“…… Fortunately, the official family took pity on me and gave me a position as a secretary and a young eunuch. The salary is enough to support the family, although it is coarse tea and light rice, it can also fill the stomach. The money saved was used to treat her mother and get medicine.
My poor sister, who was only twelve years old, began to help others become female celebrities to subsidize their families.
Unfortunately, even so, my mother died of illness. Soon after she left, my sister also fell ill. This was for me at the time
, it was a catastrophe. ”
When Qin Wenju said this, his eyes were red, and he was about to cry when he saw it, Tang Ning hurriedly comforted: "I can understand......"
Qin Wenju was swept away by Tang Ning's four words, and snorted heavily: "When I was dispersing all my wealth and seeking medical advice, a down-and-out businessman who was taken in by me found me.
Almost twenty-five years ago, when I was only fifteen or sixteen years old, I was in Dengzhou with my father when his goods were robbed by bandits, and I was penniless, and I almost ended up begging on the streets.
Because I lacked someone to read, I saw him talking and chewing words, so I took him in.
After two years, he had some savings and offered to leave. I didn't think much of it at the time, so I agreed to him. I didn't expect him to find me when I was desperate and pay for my sister-in-law to be cured.
I also introduced my sister to a layman who believes in the White Lotus Society......"
When Tang Ning heard this, he almost choked without swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
"What do you say? White Lotus Society? ”
"That's right." Qin Wenju looked at Tang Ning with a disappointed expression, why did this person like to interrupt others so much? But I'm almost done talking, and it doesn't matter if I interrupt or not.
"That merchant who helped you?"
"Well, when we were reminiscing later, he told me that when he returned to his hometown to start a new business, it was the White Lotus Society that funded him, and he was doing business for the White Lotus Society after that."
Downing didn't know what mood he was in right now.
I thought I had encountered a comic, but I didn't expect the other party to be a complete comic. At least his relationships are valuable to him.
Thinking of this, he remembered the reason why Qin Wenju was thrown into prison by turning over old accounts. So he changed the topic and said: "The hero doesn't mention the Yong back then, let's continue to discuss why you were arrested in the prison of the Criminal Department!" ”
"Okay." Qin Wenju nodded yes. He didn't care what topic Tang Ning discussed with him, he only cared if Tang Ning was willing to deal with him...... As a talker, the feeling that no one wants to listen to him is even more sad than killing him.
"Listening to your description, it's clear that something is wrong within their Imperial City Division. Either they were divided into two groups, or someone rebelled.
As an intelligence department, the Imperial City Division has internal problems, of course, which are big problems that affect the whole body. They definitely don't want this matter to be known by others, so they turned over your old accounts from five years ago and threw you into the prison of the Criminal Department, which is a warning. ”
Qin Wenju was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said nervously: "Then he said that if I tell others that there will be a catastrophe of death, isn't he scaring me?" ”
Tang Ning originally thought that it was his own understanding in the matter of killing, so he was not stupid...... Innocent to home.
But listening to the meaning of his words, the four words of killing were also told to him by others......
Tang Ning sighed deeply and said, "I think...... Probably not. But you should also be glad you met me, for some reason, I can't talk about it. ”
Qin Wenju breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, patted his chest and said, "Then you must not say it outside, my God, I don't want to die, I haven't hugged my grandson yet!" ”
"All in all, what kind of file is that?"
Qin Wenju said vigilantly: "I just said that you can't say it outside, why do you ask again?" No, I can't tell you. ”
Tang Ning blinked and said, "I won't tell others, what are you afraid of?" ”
"I don't say it." Qin Wenju shook his head firmly, he acted like a warrior who was not afraid of death when his life was at stake.
"Okay, if you don't say it, then don't say a word to me in the future, I won't pay attention to you anymore." Seeing this, Tang Ning had no choice but to make this decision.
"Good!" Qin Wenju looked at Tang Ning and gritted his teeth and said, "I said!" ”
“……”
"The archives of the Imperial City Division, our secretary and supervisor are not qualified to read them. If they knew we had read it, they wouldn't have given up...... What do you think of me like this? I really haven't seen it, I'm not that kind of person. Qin Wenju said angrily.
Tang Ning nodded and said, "Okay, my fault, I shouldn't have questioned your character, you continued." ”
"But I know it's probably a file on one or more officials, and it's certainly the object of their intense surveillance, a stack that's half a fist tall for me." Qin Wenju said as he gestured.
Tang Ning touched his chin and thought about it, it was probably about the information about the New Party officials.
After Zhao Ji came to power, the old party was activated, and the new party naturally had to be suppressed. The New Party had occupied many core positions in the court before this, and if they were not eliminated, the promulgation of Zhao Ji's decree would be greatly affected.
That's why he asked the Imperial City Division, who was loyal to the emperor, to extract the black history files of the New Party officials, and squeezed out the New Party officials through these black histories.
Thinking of this, Tang Ning sighed deeply.
Zhao Ji still does not have the magnanimity of being a king in the end, and his words and deeds everywhere reveal the unique small-bellied chicken intestines of literary and artistic youth.
No wonder Zhao Ji is suitable for any profession other than the emperor, his mind is really not enough to support him to rule an empire with a vast territory.
If it was Zhao Xu, he wouldn't use black history to make a fuss at all. He would go straight to the official who was going to be dismissed, tell him clearly the reason for his dismissal, and convince him of what he said.
It seems that the flapping wings of his butterfly are not enough to make Zhao Ji's personality change like a tornado, and his choice in Ruzhou City was correct.
Escape from this quagmire as soon as possible, only in this way can you get out of the way......
