Chapter 124: Who Wants to Sweep the Garbage
Autumn is bright, the breeze is not blowing, and the sun is warm on the body. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ Info Avenue is full of people and you can hear a foreign accent from time to time. Recently, there have been significantly more merchants from other places in Luoyang City, and the business opportunity of cotton cloth has been targeted by many people. The merchants of the special Kaifu are no strangers to cotton cloth, and even move faster than the local merchants in Luoyang.
After finishing the big living of Changshou Temple, Xu Ping and Wang Yaochen walked out of the door side by side. Looking at the crowd coming and going on the street, Xu Ping said to Wang Yaochen: "There is a restaurant in front, and the dishes are extremely clean, especially the carp that is well cooked. Let's go there to eat a fish, drink a few glasses of wine, and then don't hurry back to the yamen. β
Wang Yaochen was about to discuss the recent situation with Xu Ping, and naturally agreed. The two of them did not ride horses, but walked along the street, and a short distance came to a medium-sized restaurant.
This is the industry of Henan Prefecture, and it was also bought by the Yaqian. It's just that the business here is very good, and this government has been buying for many years.
The little guy who greeted the guests in front of the restaurant was the most sharp-eyed, and when he saw Xu Ping and Wang Yaochen coming, he ran all the way to meet him, and kept saluting and greeting, and let him go inside the restaurant. While leading the way, he kept giving the people in the restaurant a look, telling them that there were big people, serve them well, and don't cause trouble.
When I got to the second floor, I chose a quiet and tidy pavilion by the window, and the little servant wiped the stool and asked, "What kind of wine and food do the two officials use today?" The fresh Luohe carp in the store is the most fatty! β
The two sat down, and Xu Ping said to the little servant: "You watch the food is served, and the carp will also be made." Choose a milder bottle of wine, neither of us can drink spirits, you can take the rest. β
The little servant agreed, and then walked out of the pavilion with interest and went to arrange the wine and food.
The store served tea, Wang Yaochen took a sip, put down the teacup, and said to Xu Ping: "Luoyang City has not been peaceful recentlyββ"
Xu Ping said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, I heard that you didn't arrest the Song Yuan who sold the copper coin caster, not only recovered the copper coins that were robbed in the bank, but also many rich." What does it matter if this kind of unpeaceful thing happens? β
Wang Yaochen laughed when he heard this: "Who would have thought that Song Yuanwai turned out to be a big thief, and the bronze utensils that came out of his house were not much worse than the four carts of copper coins." With all this money to make up for it, I suddenly have a lot of money on hand! β
At this time, there was a copper ban, and it was illegal to cast bronze utensils privately, and Song Yuan also accepted robbers' stolen goods, and punished him for several crimes, and his head could not be saved. Although it is said that the criminal's house will not be raided at this time, the prohibited bronze objects still have to be confiscated, and these are illegal stolen goods. Thousands of catties of copper were put into the account, and the treasury of Henan Mansion was suddenly enriched a lot.
The case of robbing the money has passed, and only Feng Zhisi and the three of them escaped without knowing where to go. But that's the case with the official documents of sea fishing in this era, and no one expects to rely on that to catch the criminal.
After talking about the case for a few words, the topic turned to Tong Dalang. Wang Yaochen sighed: "I didn't expect that Tong Dalang to be a ruthless person, he was able to abandon everything he had, and he slashed Du Er to avenge his brother, so I don't know where he fled to." He escaped happily, and now he is left with a mess of bad debts, and the city is exploding! β
Xu Ping smiled: "Bo Yongyan knows that Tong Dalang just abandons everything? He has passed so much money in his hands, and he can just pick off a little bit, which is enough to enjoy for the rest of his life. β
"He said that he was in charge, but in fact, where did he do the master? The company was proposed by Yunxing, you know the rules, the accounts are done by a special person, and the government checks it, what benefits can Tong Dalang get? β
At this time, the wine and food came up, and the little servant was full of wine, so Xu Ping let him leave without serving in front of him.
After drinking a glass of wine with Wang Yaochen, Xu Ping said: "Boyong, what you said is that it is to abide by the rules, but Tong Dalang, from the beginning, was to avoid depositing money in the bank, and later tried every means to evade taxes, they are not people who abide by the rules." The government checks the accounts, and only the clear accounts are checked, and if the dark accounts are the ones who invest the money and the people who invest in them are willing, then no one can do anything. β
"Yun Xing's words are to the point, I just suspect now, those accounts handled by Tong Dalang are only afraid that they are a little unclear. Yesterday, someone came to report that a group of branch officials found the yamen of the left-behind division and quarreled fiercely with the head of the prefect of Sun Wei's house for a long time. I heard that the money they invested in Tong Dalang's company didn't know where to go. β
Xu Ping laughed when he heard this: "The money village was robbed once, everyone should see it clearly, the copper money is so heavy, where can you rob it?" You just move the copper coins from the money house home, you can't spend them, you can't transport them, and you have to return them obediently sooner or later. Tong Dalang alone, plus at most an entourage who follows him daily, how many copper coins can he take away? Fifty times, they won't be able to take it! β
Wang Yaochen said: "But now the accounts he handles are not clear, and the money is goneββ"
"There is always a place for money, the accounts have been checked by the government, and the money should not be missing. Now that they say that there is less money, it is clear that they used to check fake accounts for the government! Making fake accounts? Hmph, now it's up to Sun Wei to see if he dares to come out and admit it! β
Sun Wei dared to admit that Xu Ping would be able to send him to the remote state army, and the old and new accounts would be settled together. The transfer envoy can't manage the left-behind division, but if this kind of thing happens, it can't be managed, who can say anything about Xu Ping?
Wang Yaochen sighed: "At this point, Sun Wei will definitely not be able to retreat with his whole body." The amount of money is not small, not to mention that he has always been stingy, and he is reluctant to pay for it, even if he is willing to pay it, he is afraid that he will not be able to fill it if he smashes the pot and sells it. What I'm worried about now is that this time the involvement is too wide, and the people involved are all powerful people, and then there will be chaos. A few days ago, you said that Tong Dalang was the garbage can in Luoyang City, let them make trouble, this is good, he kicked the garbage can over himself-"
Xu Ping is no stranger to this kind of thing. In his previous life, because of all kinds of illegal fund-raising, he finally ran away with the money, and there were all kinds of people who were defrauded of money. What kind of people don't have those who sue and petition, those who drink medicine and jump into the river, and those who besiege the gate of the government? In this era, it is nothing more than the same way, but those who are deceived are rich and powerful, and if they are not careful, they will go to the court. Wang Yaochen was also worried about this matter, and the court inquired about it, and he had to bear the pressure.
After thinking about it, Xu Ping said to Wang Yaochen: "Boyong, you have to make up your mind about this matter, but you can't get into trouble just because someone is making trouble." The money was invested by themselves, and the government did its duty to check the accounts, if it was a serious business, even if Tong Dalang ran away from the money, it was impossible not to recover it. If you break out of the trouble yourself, you will bear it yourself, and no matter how much trouble you make, you can just judge the case according to the law. If you use the government's money to make up for this shortfall, it will not please both sides. If you get the money, no matter how much you give, you will feel that it is less, and the people's hearts are insufficient, and they may bite you back when the time comes. If it has nothing to do with this matter, you will not have a good word if you say that you are wasting the fat of the people and currying favor with the powerful. Through this incident, I also give you a lesson, do things honestly in accordance with the laws of the imperial court, naturally be safe and sound, and those who want to steal and cheat to make money can only resign themselves to fate! β
Wang Yaochen was stunned for a moment and nodded: "I understand." Just knocked over the garbage can, who wants to sweep the garbage! β
