Xu calmly looked at the official document in his hand, Yang Xuan stood aside, shook his head and said: "That Director Tong is the prefect of Sun Wei's house who stayed behind in Sitong's sentence, and he was hanged with a rope hanging from the beam!" It doesn't matter if he dies, in the past two days, Xijing City has been like a fried pot, the government, the county, and the yamen who stayed behind have been blocked every day! ”

Xu Ping didn't raise his head, and said lightly: "Do you still have time to take care of those yamen?" Our transport envoy is also blocked! ”

"We have few people here, Du Cao, you have been to Henan Mansion and the Left-behind Division to see, you know how quiet we are here!"

Xu Ping put down the official document in his hand and sighed: "Now the officials in Xijing City, the incumbent Zhishi, as if they had discussed it, have impeached Sun Wei in the chapter. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info said that he connived at the deception of his slaves and caused local turmoil, which was extremely bad and must be severely punished by the imperial court. Hmph, he still has the courage to defend himself in the last chapter, saying that it was all done by slaves, and he didn't know anything. ”

took out the official seal and used the seal, drew the charge, and Xu Ping handed the official document to Yang Xu: "These days have been very busy, you should be more attentive and tired." It's enough to come out of Sun Xun, don't do anything else. Some time ago, it was to transport cotton to the city, but it was not easy to store. Now that cotton is on the market on a large scale, businessmen from all over the world have gathered, and the river leading from Luo to Bian has been opened to release water, and it has begun to pass through, and things are more complicated. ”

Yang Xuan took the official document and couldn't help but ask, "What about Sun Wei's matter?" We can't ignore the hundreds of officials in the Transit Envoy Department. Li Liushou is like a god now, except for the five-day big life, he can't see anyone anymore, and the officials in Xijing City are all looking at Du Cao now, you have to have an idea. ”

"What ideas can you take?" Xu Ping stood up, "If a slave commits a crime, the master will be implicated, but it is only implicated, and he can still force Sun Wei to pay back the money?" According to that Sun Wei's temperament, he won't pay it back no matter what! Now the only way to do this is to demote him out of Jingxi Road and find a remote state army to deal with it. I gave a recital a few days ago, and it has been approved, so you send someone to find Sun Wei. ”

"Du Cao is going to dispose of Sun Wei? This guy has been tossing for so long, and you are also very patient! ”

"To be honest, I don't want to ask about him, he makes a lot of trouble in my hands! But Li Liushou doesn't care about government affairs now, and I can only come forward. Go, go, send for him! ”

Yang promised to take the official document, went out of Xu Ping's governor's hall, and sent someone to recruit Sun Wei.

Xu Ping walked out of the official hall, sat down on the stone bench under the big tree in the courtyard, and looked at the autumn colors of the garden.

He really didn't want to take care of Sun Wei's affairs, and the left-behind division would not be under the control of the transfer envoy, so why should he offend this thorn? But now is the time for cotton cloth to be listed on a large scale, and the affairs of the field and the business related to cotton cloth are all miscellaneous, and Xu Ping has too many things to worry about. A group of officials and magnates who have been cheated of money make trouble every day, which has a bad impact on the economy. Li Ruogu had already given up, and Xu Ping had to stand up to put an end to this farce.

How much money did Tong Dalang take away? No one knows, not even a rough estimate. The real big head is still a loan, and the deed of loan was burned by Tong Dalang, not to mention that the person who borrowed the money will not repay the money, even if they are willing to pay it back, the intermediate handler who received the money will not hand over the money to Director Tong, which has completely become a bad debt. Because of the burning of the deed, Tong Dalang also gained a good reputation among the people, which can be regarded as robbing the rich and helping the poor.

The root cause of this chaos is that the group of people led by Director Tong made false accounts, one bright and one dark, and finally it was confused. Originally, the formal deed of loan had to be notarized at a bookstore recognized by the government, and of course there was a fee. But Tong Dalang and these people are not doing serious business, these procedures are not at all, and when the deed is burned, they can't find it when they want to check the bookstore. In addition, the company's accounts are also separated from open and dark accounts, and the official accounts are checked out, which is not consistent with reality.

As soon as he left Sun Wei, Director Tong was a salted fish, and was blocked by people mainly from the branch officials to ask for debts, and finally he was really persecuted, and a rope was put on the beam of the house, and he committed suicide. Clear-eyed people know that he is taking the blame for Sun Wei, and there must be a reason why he has to do this, but there is no way, it is impossible to use this method to force Sun Wei.

Things got to this point and had to end. After Xu Ping discussed with Wang Yaochen, he asked him to thoroughly check the assets according to the accounts of the relevant companies of Tong Dalang and Tong Director according to the government's account of Tong Dalang and Tong Supervisor, and compensate the people who were invested in the money in proportion. Director Tong's family property was all confiscated, and he was compensated proportionately. The slave and the master lived together and shared wealth, and theoretically Sun Wei was jointly and severally liable, but it was ignored intentionally or unintentionally. From a shop to a company, it is a change from the previous unlimited liability to limited liability, and there is no need to go back.

As for Sun Wei, he doesn't want to take out the money, so he can only use the official to resist, and it is inevitable to be demoted to a few levels, just to see how he degrades.

The leaves of the trees have turned yellow, and from time to time they fall from the trees and fall to the ground. Although it is cleaned every day, the floor is still covered with fallen leaves, and a layer of golden yellow gives people a warm feeling.

It's been a year since I arrived on Jingxi Road, and now it's the most critical moment, Xu Ping doesn't want to be distracted by these miscellaneous things, and he must drive Sun Wei away as soon as possible to calm things down. If the trouble continues, it will affect the stability of Xijing City.

A public official came over and said that Sun Wei had arrived. Xu Ping came back to his senses and let him take him directly to the courtyard.

After recent events, Sun Wei has long lost the demeanor of Xu Ping when he first arrived on Jingxi Road, and he has become emaciated, but his eyes are still bright, and his gaze is cold.

As the official entered the courtyard and saluted in front of Xu Ping, Sun Wei stood there and looked at Xu Ping coldly.

Xu Ping shook his head disdainfully, and pointed to the stone bench opposite him: "Sit down, you have made so much trouble, there must always be an end." There are official documents from Zhongshu and Yushitai, and this errand fell to me. ”

Sun Wei hesitated for a while, but still sat down on the stone bench, looking at Xu Ping, still unruly.

"Since I arrived on Jingxi Road, you have been careful and unruly, and finally you have caused a big disaster-"

"What did I do?" Sun Wei raised his head, "It's just that the royal majesty is not strict, and the slaves are in trouble!" ”

Xu Ping waved his hand: "To tell the truth, I don't have the heart to argue with you about this." What you think in your heart, how you think things are, I am not interested at all, and I don't want to know. Now it's because of the recent turmoil in Xijing City, starting from your home, and the court can't explain if you don't deal with it. Originally, according to the meaning of Yu Shitai, you were relegated to Jinghu Road or Fujian Road, and a small state army was found to supervise the liquor tax or salt tax. What this means, you know for yourself. Zhongshu read that you were born as a jinshi, and felt that it was too much to degrade you like this, so I came to the book to ask my opinion. Now that it's settled, I'll give you two paths to take—"

"I'm not wrong about this, but I'm not strict with my family—"

Xu Ping slapped the stone table: "What does it matter to me whether you are strict or not?!" Go home by yourself and go behind closed doors! Now there are two roads, either go to the prison of Ezhou liquor tax, or go to Yonglang Road, you choose! ”

The prison officer is the heaviest punishment for an official who was born as a jinshi, and it can be said that he was demoted to the end, which was much lower than the position when he was just a jinshi. If there is no relatives and friends to help you, you will never be able to climb to Beijing again in your life if you are unlucky. This is the opinion of Xu Ping and Yu Shitai, Zhongshu feels that it is too heavy and is a little hesitant.

Sun Wei looked at Xu Ping, lowered his head after a long time, and asked softly, "What are you doing when you go to Yonglang Road?" ”

"It's better to make a general judgment. It is not easy for someone in the court to read that you are from a jinshi, and it is not good to cut off your future. I also saw what you did this year, so I left you a glimmer of life and went to the frontier to serve. I brought this matter up, and I want to tell you from the bottom of my heart, whether it is for your own good or according to my thoughts, I hope you will choose the second path. ”

After a long while, Sun Wei said, "Why? I don't have a relationship with Du Cao! ”

Xu Ping smiled: "You just said that you have a relationship with me, and I don't recognize it!" Conduct yourself with you, make friends with me, and I will lose that person! Serving in the frontier and leaving a glimmer of life for your career is for the sake of the country. You don't need to be virtuous, your style is not suitable for being a pro-people official, but the new frontier is not attached to your morality. Speaking of talent, you are still a little clever. ”

Sun Wei's face was dark and blue, he glared at Xu Ping, and said in a deep voice: "Don't you think it's too mean for Du Cao to say this?" ”

"Mean? You're giving me a reason not to be mean! From the time I arrived at Jingxi Road, they worked against me everywhere. It's nothing for you to do against me, I'm not a narrow-minded person. But what have you done? greedy for money and lustful, inciting officials to make trouble, and not doing a single thing of business! You are doing something that benefits the country and the people, let me see, I won't have any opinion of you! Oh, now for the sake of money, it makes Xijing City restless, do you still think I'm mean? ”

Sun Wei never expected Xu Ping to speak so explicitly, and he thought a lot on the way here. He thought countless times about what Xu Ping would say when the two met, but he never expected that Xu Ping would be so straightforward, without being polite or going around in circles.

Seeing that Sun Wei didn't speak, Xu Ping said again: "You are now a person who treats crimes, don't argue with me about whether you are guilty or not, what kind of crime you are, the whole world thinks you are guilty, and I have no interest in sorting out your crimes, the left and right are just a derogatory." -- I'm telling you now about where you're going to go and what you want to do. So, don't dwell on the previous things anymore, think about how to do your new role in the future, and whether there is a chance to make a comeback. Am I clear or clear? ”

"Okay, where to Yonglang Road?"

"Recently, the table of Jiaozhi asked for an annex, but the imperial court did not agree to it, so as not to cause panic in other small countries, so several new states were temporarily set up, but Thang Long Mansion is still the royal city of Jiaozhi. There is a big port named Haimen Town in Jiaozhi, which was Wu'an Prefecture in the Tang Dynasty, if you don't want to supervise the liquor tax in Ezhou, you will do the newly established Wu'an Prefecture General Judgment. ”

After the defeat of Jiaozhi, the city of Champa developed without opponents, and now the situation in that area is very complicated. Xu Ping, a person from Sun Wei, also saw that staying in the mainland was a scourge, and he still kicked to the frontier, what ability did he have to go to the barbarians. Greed for money and lust are not a problem there, and a polite and upright gentleman can't be suppressed. Moreover, the sugar of the cane grain industry must find a market, and the Nanyang route will inevitably be opened, and there is indeed oil and water there.

This kind of person Xu Ping doesn't want to be trapped, he has taken a different path, and the investment and harvest in him are completely disproportionate. Only Lu Yijian, who is doing everything to consolidate his power, will need someone like Sun Wei. His bad reputation is not a great negative asset for Lu Yijian, but it is for Xu Ping.
