Of course, Liu Fang would not think that the Admiral in front of him would be afraid of the Princess Mansion, he would not be so stupid. But after all, the princess's mansion is close to and familiar with the Hou Mansion, and she doesn't look up and look down in the capital, so she will always give a little thin noodles when she points it out.

Zhang Zhijie was noncommittal when he heard this, and said lightly: "Since this is the case, then check again, and this governor will send someone to keep an eye on it to see what the final result is!" ”

Han Ping immediately instructed the officials of the city to check again, and Magnolia also picked someone from the Jinyi Guard to follow, in fact, Magnolia and they all knew in their hearts, Han Ping, a five-grade official, would not have nothing to do to embarrass the people of the princess's mansion.

But what is the result of the inspection, it is from Zhang Zhijie's mouth! If Zhang Zhijie was afraid of the princess's mansion, he would naturally admit that it was consistent with the record, and in this case, the matter would be over.

The reason why Liu Fang is still calm is because that's how he thinks. It's just a trivial matter, and the Admiral moves his mouth and passes. It's impossible to wipe the face of the princess's mansion because of this trivial matter, right? At that time, even the emperor will be disgraced!

Even Han Ping, the officials of the city department, were beating drums in their hearts, the reason why they gritted their teeth and did not let them go was because the Admiral had repeatedly ordered them, but now that the princess's mansion is involved, will the Admiral really guarantee justice?

These people have their own thoughts, but only Magnolia, who is standing behind Zhang Zhijie, understands Zhang Zhijie's thoughts. This Liu Fang hit the iron plate today.

The officials of the City Department and Zhang Zhijie's cronies Jinyiwei finally came back after the inspection, and the leading hundred households were about to come forward, Zhang Zhijie had already frowned slightly and said: "Say, tell the truth!" ”

Hearing this, the hundred-hundred-household immediately stopped, and hesitated: "My lord, it is indeed inconsistent with the report, and there is a shortage of two thousand taels of tax silver!" ”

Liu Fang had already realized that something was wrong when he heard Zhang Zhijie let the hundred households stop and say it openly, and now that he heard that the hundred households really said it truthfully, he couldn't help but change his face greatly.

Zhang Zhijie turned his head to look at Liu Fang and said lightly: "Are you convinced of this result?" Or do you need to check it out for the Governor himself? ”

This result was something he never expected, and Liu Fang reluctantly smiled: "Lord Admiral, there are also slaves and maids who are mistaken. The slave and maid will make up the two thousand taels of silver. ”

Zhang Zhijie stared at Liu Fang, and huge doubts surged in his heart, although two thousand taels of silver is a huge amount of money in the eyes of ordinary people, it is not a big amount in the princess's mansion!

He personally went south to preside over the opening of the sea, and Princess Renhe really offended her brow for these two thousand taels of silver? Whether it's Princess Renhe or the pony, their eyelids won't be so shallow!

After all, this year is the first year of the opening of the sea, and I am personally staring at it in the south, if this kind of thing happens in a few years, how can I feel uncomfortable for these two thousand taels of silver now?

Just when Zhang Zhijie was puzzled, Liu Fang had already taken out the prepared silver and silver tickets and handed them to Han Ping, and he had prepared exactly the same amount in advance.

"Lord Admiral, the total is five thousand three hundred and sixty taels, and the slave has already paid it off!" Liu Fang forced a smile.

Zhang Zhijie said lightly: "It's not enough, it should be seven thousand three hundred and sixty taels!" ”

Liu Fang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and exclaimed: "Lord Admiral, how can it be seven thousand three hundred and sixty taels?" It's obviously five thousand three hundred and sixty taels! ”

Zhang Zhijie said lightly: "There are still two thousand taels of silver, which is fraudulent and disrupts the normal order of going to sea!" ”

Liu Fang wanted to vomit blood when he heard this, is there still such a thing as a fine? Besides, this is the ship of the princess's mansion, but it's just a matter of face, and you have to be fined!

Liu Fang said with a smile: "Lord Admiral, there is no such thing as a fine in the regulations of this city, right?" Besides, our princess's mansion is not short of three or two thousand taels of silver, it's not that it is intentionally cheating, it is just a mistake! ”

Zhang Zhijie said lightly: "Who said there is no such rule?" Now that the Governor has said it, there is naturally it! Han Ping wrote down this rule, and those who dare to cheat will be fined twice the amount of tax silver concealed, and the person in charge will be punished with 20 rods to set an example! ”

Han Ping was originally apprehensive, but now he sees that the Admiral is really not afraid of power, what princess mansion is not princess mansion, he will give face at all, and he should pay not a penny of silver.

Now that I heard that the Admiral still wants to collect fines, Han Ping is really overjoyed, let you be a dead eunuch and use the princess's mansion to oppress people, and now the world is coming!

Han Ping immediately responded in a deep voice, his heart blossomed, but he still had a calm expression on his face, staring at the eunuch in front of him with his eyes, the meaning was obvious, hurry up and pay the fine!

Liu Fang not only wanted to vomit blood, but his heart was still dripping blood, two thousand taels of silver, this is not a small amount! What's more, he had to pay for the money himself. Because when he went to the city to report, he underreported 2,000 taels of silver, which was his own opinion.

It's not that he wants to save two thousand taels of silver for the princess's mansion, but he has an idea to save the two thousand taels of silver and kick it into his purse. At that time, he came to Ningbo City to report and knew that the Admiral was in Quanzhou most of the time, and he did not pay much attention to Ningbo City.

So he wanted to fake the tiger's might, pull up the banner of the princess's mansion, and wanted to come to Ningbo City to raise this five-grade petty official who had never seen the world, and he would definitely be intimidated by the name of the princess's mansion, and he raised his hand and passed.

After all, this kind of thing is just a gesture, and there is no need to check it in the future, who knows how much cargo was carried on the ship at the beginning! Unexpectedly, the Admiral returned to Ningbo when he was about to open the sea at the end.

Although he was a little nervous, he was not too nervous, because he felt that the name of the princess's mansion was still very useful. Even if the relationship between the Admiral's Mansion and the Princess's Mansion is not bad, even if the city boss is a dead brain, and when it comes to the Admiral, the Admiral will definitely take care of the Princess's Mansion's face and be accommodating.

Unexpectedly, things took a sharp turn for the worse, and the Admiral not only did not be accommodating, but also fined two thousand taels of silver! He didn't dare to go back to the princess's mansion to report this money, and if he wanted to pay it, he could only pay the money himself! If this silver is handed over, it is not a loss to steal chickens and rice!

Two thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, Liu Fang said in a low voice: "Lord Admiral, after all, your mansion and the princess's mansion have a very good relationship, and if there is a problem with the report, it is all the negligence of the slave and maid, can the lord open the net, otherwise the slave and the princess will not be able to go back and explain to the princess!" Even the Admiral。。。。。。 ”

Zhang Zhijie smiled when he heard this: "When I return to Beijing, the governor will personally visit the princess and the princess to explain clearly, as for now, there is no less money to be paid!" ”

Liu Fang's face suddenly turned pale when he heard this, he just lost two thousand taels of silver, but the past can still be covered.
