Chapter 254: Why is it so difficult to do something bad?
Chapter 254: Why is it so difficult to do something bad?
"The Duke of Zhou was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the time; Xiang Zhi died at the beginning, who knows the truth of his life? ”
At this moment, Chen Ying suddenly realized.
Knowing that there is a pit in front of him, normal people will not jump into it, maybe only blind people or people with problems with their heads will jump in, Chen Ying's eyes are not blind, and his head is not stupid, so he will definitely not know that it is a fire pit and jump in.
All along, Chen Ying has been risk-averse and rarely makes mistakes. In Li Xiuning's view, this is not normal.
In Li Yuan's opinion, I am afraid that Chen Ying's plan is very big.
Now, Chen Ying has finally found out the crux of the problem. But even if he knew where the real root knot was, he smiled bitterly in addition to a bitter smile.
The politics of the early Tang Dynasty were relatively clear, but this is only relatively speaking, corruption still exists, and the number is very shocking, Xu Jingzong is a big and small official, he has more than 300 officials in the Tang Dynasty There are problems in the accounting accounts, big or small, more or less, if you compare these more than 300 officials among all the Tang officials, you will find that the proportion is as high as one-third.
Xu Jingzong received the training of Chen Ying's later generations to remember the book, and it can be said that in this era, any false accounts cannot escape his eyes, such as Cheng Zhijie's alcohol fraudulent accounts, the names of loss reports are also endless, the vehicle overturned once, was moved by bandits once, the ferry sank once, and the warehouse went to the water once......
The names of these reported losses are also valid, and the loss of alcohol ranges from 1,000 to 2,000 catties. However, if you compare the consumption of alcohol in ordinary seasons, you can see the problem at a glance.
Chen Ying hated corrupt officials in later generations, and he was not short of money, if Chen Ying needed money, he had Datang Tongli Money Village, and there were many industries to make money for him every day, Chen Ying had no need to be corrupt at all, and there was no need to take bribes. In no exaggeration, Chen Ying is one of the few rich people in Chang'an City who can be counted.
As for bullying men and women, Chen Ying can't do it even more, just with Chen Ying's face, as long as he needs a woman, I'm afraid it will make the eldest daughters and little daughters-in-law in Chang'an City rush to it. As for picking quarrels and provoking trouble, since Chen Ying was promoted to the Duke of Liang Guo, the general of Zhenguo, and the big red man of Li Jiancheng in the East Palace, unless his head is in the water, no one will provoke Chen Ying, even if Chen Ying is domineering, he can't find a person who can exert power, looking at the entire Chang'an City, from the princes and nobles, down to the common people, there is really no one who does not look for Chen Ying's unhappiness.
Chen Ying covered his head and groaned in pain: "Sanniang, what do you say I should do?" Otherwise, I'm going to rob someone's daughter..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Xiuning gritted his teeth and said, "You dare to ......"
"Woman...... It's all wrong! Chen Ying smiled and said: "You also said that I didn't make a mistake, this is not right, otherwise, tomorrow, I will take the time to beat His Royal Highness King Qi and let him go to complain to His Majesty?" ”
Li Xiuning stared at Chen Ying for a while and said, "Then I don't know who beat whom!" ”
"Hey......" Chen Ying sighed, what Li Xiuning said was true.
In terms of skill, Li Yuanji is really much stronger than him, and if he fights alone, Chen Ying will definitely not be able to fight Li Yuanji. Even Li Yuanji's horse lance, Chen Ying had a hard time carrying it.
Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying with a frown, and didn't know what to do for a while.
To be a bad person and do bad things, you actually need talent, for example, in the face of a helpless poor person, Chen Yingzhen can't do it.
Unable to think of a suitable way, Chen Ying lay on the bed depressed.
Li Xiuning looked at the troubled Chen Ying.
Chen Ying instantly thought of something that could make people angry and resentful in the future, and he turned his head and suddenly had an idea. Chen Ying got up and said with a smile: "I have a way!" ”
Li Xiuning said: "What way? ”
Chen Ying smiled but did not answer.
Chen Ying looked at Li Xiuning and said, "Sanniang, you have a good rest at home, I'll come when I go!" ”
Chen Ying got up and put on a thick cloak, and just walked to the door, Guo Luo greeted him and said, "Lord, what are your orders?" ”
Chen Yingdao: "There should be a curfew in Wuhou Fang now, right?" ”
Guo Luo nodded and said, "Half an hour ago, it was banned!" ”
Chen Ying thought for a while and said, "Let the brothers get up, each ride two horses, and follow me to the Liangguo Mansion!" ”
Chen Ying also wanted to make a big mistake and let Yushi impeach. Ignoring the curfew and running at night, this can give Yushi a reason for impeachment, anyway, this kind of mistake is harmless.
It's great, he ordered a reprimand, and punished him with copper. The key is that Chen Ying is not short of money, and he is not afraid of punishment!
More than 100 guards and more than 300 war horses quickly gathered in. Chen Ying stepped on his war horse and walked along the Fang Road towards the Liang Guogong Mansion in Changrenfang.
However, when he just walked to the gate of Qujiangfang, more than a dozen Wuhou Bu archers who were on duty leaned out, and one of them stepped forward and shouted: "What person, stop!" ”
The horse whip in Chen Ying's hand exploded a whip flower and shouted, "Get out!" ”
The dozen or so martial marquis shrank their heads and retreated into the fangmen hole, but opened the fangmen instead!
Chen Ying was slightly stunned, according to the normal script, shouldn't these martial marquis be denied by their six relatives?
But these martial marquis were unstoppable, and Chen Ying couldn't find an excuse to find an excuse, so he had to rush towards Changrenfang.
……
Just after Chen Yingyi walked, one of the martial arts marquis looked timidly: "Zheng Fangzheng, why don't you stop it?" ”
"Stop the fart? You don't keep your dog's eyes open either! Zheng Fangzheng said angrily: "That's General Chen, Chen Yuma, do you dare to stop it?" Believe it or not, he pumped his ass and blossomed? ”
"But...... Our responsibilities ......"
"Now than ever, the curfew has long been dead in name!" Team Zheng looked at the direction of the bright lights in the distance and said: "Our Qujiangfang is bitter, if it weren't for General Chen's kindness, you wouldn't even be able to drink the northwest wind!" ”
There is no water in this statement, Qujiangfang is the southeast corner of Chang'an City, and a little further south is Qujiang Pond. There were no families before, and these families have moved in the last two years. Some of them were scattered from the previous dynasty and returned to the place where Chang'an had no foothold. Some of them have dilapidated homes, and they have sold their ancestral homes and have no way to come here to build a shack to settle in. Rich people, who lives here. In the former Sui Dynasty, this was Yang Xuangan's industry, he bought most of Qujiangfang, and later Yang Xuangan was exterminated because of the rebellion, and most of the people in Qujiangfang lost their livelihoods.
If Chang'an City is also divided by several rings, Qujiangfang is a proper sixth ring road.
Finally waited for Li Xiuning, Li Yuan rewarded the Furong Garden to Li Xiuning, but Chen Ying changed the Furong Garden into Datang Boren Hospital, and with the opening of business here, Qujiangfang slowly prospered.
Boren Hospital needs to consume a lot of food, vegetables, and meat, and also needs a lot of manpower to engage in miscellaneous labor and rough work, such as cleaning, picking up garbage, and transporting supplies.
It is no exaggeration to say that the entire Qujiangfang was fed by Chen Ying, and they all followed Chen Ying to eat.
……
Chen Ying and his entourage ran wildly along the road, unexpectedly, not only Qujiang Fang, but also other Fangfang, and no one stopped them. What Chen Ying didn't know was that as the Tang Dynasty stayed in Guanzhong for longer and longer, and the Tang Dynasty became more and more stable, the curfew policy of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty existed in name only.
The children of the clan need nightlife, they need to drink flower wine, listen to songs, watch dances, and even the red sleeves are open almost all night, and tomorrow it will be rare.
Since Chen Ying built the Chenjiabao in the Qing forest, this Liang Guogong Mansion has been considered empty, and it is usually watched by Gao Wenjin's sisters and brothers.
Gao Wenjin was very surprised to see Chen Ying coming, but she still welcomed Chen Ying into the mansion very warmly and served tea.
Chen Ying looked at the Liang Guogong Mansion and said with a little dissatisfaction: "Guo Luo, is this mansion too small?" ”
Guo Luo nodded and said, "It's a little small, and it's not worthy of the identity of the lord!" ”
"That's just as well!" Chen Ying nodded, and said seriously: "There are more than a dozen families around this house, give them some money, and let them get out, I bought the house!" ”
Guo Luo said: "Third Master Ma is in charge of the affairs of the outer courtyard, let him send someone to talk tomorrow!" ”
"It's better to hit the day than to choose a day!" Chen Ying raised his eyebrows and said, "Just now!" ”
"Now?" Guo Luo looked at the cold wind howling outside, and the snowflakes were sparsely pulling down, and said helplessly: "I'm afraid it's not okay now?" ”
"Right now!" Chen Ying knew that Changrenfang was close to Miyagi, and the people who lived here were either rich or expensive, and no matter how big or small they were, they were also officials, and once Chen Ying bought and sold at this time, they would naturally have a way to impeach him.
Chen Ying looked at Gao Wenjin and said, "How much cash is there in the house?" Just buy a house at the market price and let them take the money and leave! ”
With Chen Ying's order, Gao Wenjin opened the treasury, and the guards entered the treasury, carried out boxes of copper coins or silver judgments, and knocked on the door from door to door.
After a while, there were bursts of shouting and scolding around the Liang Guogong Mansion, children crying, adults shouting, and making a noise. But in the face of a group of heavily armed armor soldiers, these people could only smash their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs.
Chen Ying listened to the shouting and scolding and noisy sounds in his ears, as if it was like a fairy sound, I am afraid that after dawn, there will be an official of the imperial historian who impeached him for bullying people.
In this case, Chen Ying walked into the bathroom instead, took a hot bath beautifully, especially looking at Gao Wenjin, who was serving him, his face was red to the base of his neck from beginning to end, Chen Ying was very satisfied.
After a dreamless night, Chen Ying slept directly until the next day, when it was close to noon. Chen Ying slept until he woke up naturally, and while washing, he asked Gao Wenjin, "Is there anyone in the palace?" ”
Gao Wenjin shook his head and said, "Back to Langjun, I haven't seen the palace people here!" ”
When Chen Ying heard this, he was secretly strange in his heart.
"Something is wrong!" It's almost noon now, and the officials of Datang are not so inefficient, right? Impeaching the powerful and establishing a noble image of being not afraid of power, isn't this what Yushi likes to do the most?
Chen Ying was a little puzzled, but he still had to eat, just when Chen Ying just picked up the chopsticks, Guo Luo came in and said, "Lord, Zhang Daoyuan asks to see!" ”
"Zhang Daoyuan?" Chen Ying thought about it, felt that he didn't remember this person in his head, and asked suspiciously: "Do I have a relationship with him?" ”
Guo Luo said curtly: "Lord, the house adjacent to our left is his, and he was driven ...... last night."
Chen Ying suddenly realized.
I'm afraid that this Zhang Daoyuan met the soldiers in Xiucai last night, and he can't explain it clearly, so he came to find his own theory today.
Zhang Daoyuan is actually not a nobody, Li Yuan raised righteousness in Taiyuan and summoned Zhang Daoyuan to join the army as the general's mansion Cao. After establishing Chang'an and setting the capital, Daoyuan was sent to comfort Shandong with Li Shentong, and the land of Yan and Zhao competed for money. Li Yuan wrote a book of praise, and was awarded the title of Duke of Fanyang County, and then worshiped Dali Qing. Shi He Chou and Shi Cheng were guilty, and their family was not registered, but they were still given. Zhang Daoyuan sighed: "Whether people have Thailand or not, the cover is also constant." Encore takes his children as servants and concubines because of his own Tai and the benefit of others, and the heart of the benevolent is "all given up, and nothing is taken."
At this time, Zhang Daoyuan had already moved to Taifu Siqing, one of the five eunuchs of the Nine Temples, if he was in the Qin and Han dynasties, he would be one of the Nine Qings. Li Tang Wude is one of the big bulls.
Chen Yingdao: "Tell him, General Ben is busy, his house is already surnamed Chen, go to the yamen today to transfer the house, if you are not satisfied, just sue!" ”
At this moment, an old man with white hair, wearing a scarlet official uniform, a dark soft horned head, and a silverfish bag around his waist walked slowly towards Chen Ying with the support of a young man.
In the face of such an old man, the soldiers of the Chen Mansion really didn't dare to stop it, in case they bumped into it, Chen Yingke couldn't tell clearly.
Chen Ying put down his chopsticks in desperation, saluted the old official, and said, "I don't know who Your Excellency is!" ”
"Old man Zhang Daoyuan, add to the servant Siqing!" Don't look at this old man's age, but his voice is very loud, and he is full of energy, Zhang Daoyuan actually pushed and supported the young man who helped him: "Yi'er, kowtow to Engong!" ”
Chen Ying was really confused at this moment, and he said to Zhang Daoyuan: "Mrs. Zhang, are you mistaken?" This general has never been gracious with the Zhang family, and in the name of the Duke of En, he should not dare to redeem Chen! ”
Zhang Daoyuan bowed down and said: "It's not wrong, last night the general commanded the tiger and invited the forty-seven members of the Zhang family out of their homes to avoid the Zhang family from suffering the disaster of annihilation, such kindness, kneel on duty!" ”
Chen Ying was dumbfounded.
Obviously, I want to be a wicked person, a wicked person who oppresses the good, but I really didn't expect that the act of forcibly buying a house last night was to save people. Zhang Daoyuan's house actually collapsed, none of the seven main houses were spared, if he Zhang Daoyuan was still living in the house at that time, I am afraid that he would bear the brunt, even Zhang Daoyuan's favorite grandson Zhang Yizhi, I am afraid that he will not escape death.
Zhang Yizhi is Zhang Daoyuan's only hope, if he dies, the Zhang family will have no hope.
Chen Ying suddenly realized.
Zhang Daoyuan is in Changrenfang and is highly respected. If it weren't for the sudden collapse of his family's main house, I'm afraid that he would be able to impeach Li Yuan directly in front of Li Yuan without being impeached by others, the key is that after they left yesterday, the Zhang family's house was crushed by snow, and Chen Ying's move was not only without fault, but with merit.
In Zhang Daoyuan's opinion, Chen Ying must have been worried that he had no friendship with him, and when he spoke, persuasion had no effect, so he had to invite the Zhang family out of the house in a rough form. Although it is said that after the night wind blew all night, several people in the family got wind chill, but compared to human life, what is a little wind chill?
As Zhang Daoyuan's house collapsed, the neighbors suddenly realized. It turned out that Chen Ying was saving people last night, and they had the money given by Chen Ying in their hands, and those who should be looking for a new house should find a new house, and those who should go to relatives and friends should go to relatives and friends.
On the contrary, no one went to the government to complain to Chen Ying, after all, Chen Ying was saving people.
If you sue your father-in-law, is it still a human being?
Chen Ying wanted to cry without tears at this time: "I want to do something bad, why is it so difficult?" ”
Just when Chen Ying couldn't cry or laugh, suddenly a team of knights arrived in front of the Chen Mansion like a galloping lightning bolt, and said in a loud voice: "Where are the Captains of the Horses, Liang Guogong, and the General Zhenguo?" ”
Chen hurriedly said: "So and so here, what is the matter?" ”
The knight shouted: "Your Majesty has a decree, please invite Chen Fuma to enter the palace to see the driver!" ”
Chen hurriedly changed his costume and followed the knight to the Taiji Palace.
However, when Chen Ying walked out of Liang Guogong's mansion, he suddenly found that there were hundreds of people standing at the door, and when these people saw Chen Ying coming out, they quickly knelt down and shouted: "I thank Gong Engong for his life!" ”
Hearing this, Chen Ying's face instantly turned red.
Embarrassing!
