Chapter 35 Chapter Thirty-Five

Yang Hao returned to Kaifeng Mansion Fire Hospital, and immediately summoned a group of minions to rush out of Kaifeng Mansion. The old Liu Tou, who sells pears under the willow tree opposite Kaifeng Mansion, looked at the demolition team carrying picks and shovels and muttered to himself. Yu said: "Hey! Lengtouqing went out in person again. Which official suffered this time?" Yang Hao led the people straight to Baokangmen Luo's mansion on the left side of Wheat Straw Lane, looked around, pointed to a few low sheds in the alley, and asked, "Why hasn't this place been demolished yet?"

A fire policeman with a red circle on his chest and a fire character in the middle approached and said, "My lord, you never said that this place will be demolished." "Really? Then the official must have neglected it." Yang Hao picked up the brush, walked over and wrote a word on the wall of the shed, drew a circle familiarly, and said, "Okay, it can be demolished now." He turned his head to look at Luo's house with the closed door, and greeted him: "Go, knock on the door for me, that is, the Nanya Fire and Love Institute is going to demolish the shed, tell the owner of this house to come out quickly."

The fire catcher reminded with a smile: "My lord, this house is the house of Mr. Luo, the Deputy Envoy of the Third Division." Yang Hao stared and shouted: "So what?" "Yes, yes, yes," Huo Zhuxin said, "You dare to tear down the shed of Wang Xianggong's house, what else can I do?" He obediently stepped forward to knock on the door, and the door answered after a while, the door thought it was a visit My lord's guest, when he asked if it was the Kaifeng mansion who came to dismantle the shed, he hurriedly turned around and reported inside. In the inner house, Luo Keqin, the third son of the Luo family, heard that the Kaifeng Mansion came to demolish the shed, and immediately flew into a rage, shouting: "You are too deceitful, do you think my Luo family is going to collapse? Come, come, call me a strong man!" Servant, I'll go see which bastard dares to tear down my house."

Luo Gongming was sitting in the flower hall, sipping tea and reading a book quietly, when he heard the voice, Shoumei frowned slightly, and raised his voice, "Shut up, Qiner! This alley of our house doesn't need to be demolished and cleaned up, right? Kaifeng Which official from the government has brought someone here." Hearing Lao Luo's question, the door quickly entered the flower hall, and said: "Master Hui, it's the stupid head of the Nanya Fire and Love Institute...ah no, Dean Yang brought someone here himself." "Yang Hao?" Luo Gongming put down his book, stood up and took a few steps slowly, stroked his beard and smiled slightly: "Hehe, this son has a sincere heart, and he has defeated the enemy without making friends."

"Father!" Luo Keqin rushed in angrily, seeing how eager he was, he was about to rush out the door when his father nodded slightly.Luo Gongming frowned, and reprimanded: "You, the boss is not young, and his temperament is still so reckless, not to mention your elder brother and second brother, even your younger brother is much calmer than you. You..., call your second brother over here .” Although the third son of Luo was angry, he was most afraid of his father, so he had to hold back his anger and retreat, and after a while he led Luo Kejie to rush over, Luo Kejie said: "Father, did you call me?"

Luo Gongming called him to the front, gave him some instructions in a low voice, Luo Kejie understood, and immediately retreated. After a while, the corner door of the Luo family's mansion opened, and the second son of Luo walked out calmly by himself, and said, "I am the second son of the Luo family, who is working here in Kaifeng mansion?" Yang Hao immediately stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "Second Master Luo, I have offended you. Yang Hao from the Fire Department of Kaifeng Mansion ordered you to clean up illegal constructions, clear roads, and build fire patrol shops. There are a few sheds in your alley. Not only is it unsightly, but it also makes it inconvenient for people to go in and out, and Yang wants to demolish it, which is an imperial decree."

Luo Kejie laughed and said: "So that's the case. That place is just a place where the toilet is placed every morning. The shed is only built to prevent rain in summer and snow in winter. It doesn't matter. Since Dean Yang is ordered to clear the road, just Just dismantle it." Yang Hao was overjoyed, and looked back and said: "You heard it, but you still don't do it." After sending people to tear down the shed, Yang Hao said loudly: "Mr. Luo Er is deeply aware of righteousness, and Yang admires it very much." "I heard that the eldest son committed a crime, and now he is in jail to wait for participation. Yang just heard about it today, so he hurried here. I don't know what's going on now?"

Luo Kejie smiled slightly, and lowered his voice and said: "My brother will never be involved in corruption, and he will never cheat on the North Kingdom. This is deliberately framed by someone. After all, it is not gold for refining fire. If the court investigates it, it will always be returned." The family is innocent, Dean Yang is worried." "I didn't do anything," Yang Hao said, "Brother Kedi and I are the brothers of Paoze who share life and death together. Lord Luo is in trouble. If you can help me, just open your mouth. Lord Luo will stay behind closed doors, thinking he wants to wait. The truth came out after the trial by the court, so there will be no more troubles, right?"

Luo Kejie's eyebrows were faintly worried, and he sighed lightly: "When the truth comes out, things that shouldn't have come out, but... it's not a very important matter, Dean Yang, don't worry." Yang Hao was stunned, and suddenly became suspicious, "Since he said that he was not greedy, and he had no affair with the Liao people, then why worry about it? Could it be that the eldest son of the Luo family has some shady secrets? Because of this suspicious case, the censor will investigate , are you going to expose it?" Sure enough, Luo Kejie smiled wryly and said: "There are indeed some shady things in it. The person who planned to frame my Luo family is very shrewd, and he is well versed in official affairs. Speaking of it, it's very good, no one will investigate a court official. Members, especially my Luo family, my father is the Deputy Envoy of the Third Division, and everyone in the court wants to give some face, but the person who framed him used a trick that was easy to expose, which attracted the officials to thoroughly investigate the matter. Observe, some things that are inconvenient to reveal will inevitably be exposed."

After Luo Kejie spoke concisely, Yang Hao finally understood the whole story. It turns out that after the founding of the Song Dynasty, in order to avoid the situation of warlord separatism like the Tang Dynasty, the local military power, political power, financial power, criminal power, and the power to appoint and dismiss officials were separated one by one.In order to prevent corruption caused by transshipment, financial power is also highly concentrated. When the local government needs financial supplies, it needs to be allocated by the imperial court. At the beginning of the founding of the country, the quality of financial officials was uneven, so the finances were very chaotic. Often when there was no need for appropriation, the transfer envoys hurriedly asked the court for appropriation. The imperial court made regulations on the performance appraisal, requiring all transfer envoys to try their best to balance the financial revenue and expenditure of their own routes.

However, it is difficult to draw a clear line between what is appropriate and what is inappropriate. In order to avoid any stains in the performance examinations, many transfer envoys keep a mobile wealth on hand, and once the local needs are needed, they will be allocated first and implemented. Then apply to the imperial court for appropriation and make up the mobile wealth, so as to avoid frequent requests for funds from the imperial court. This is of course a violation of the imperial court's laws and regulations. Yang Hao was a little dazed when he heard it. This kind of thing is similar to the "empty seal case" in the early Ming Dynasty. It is a compromise plan that officials came up with in the face of policy troubles.In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court stipulated that all chief ministers, prefectures, prefectures, and counties should send accounting officials to the household department to report the local financial revenue and expenditure accounts and the amount of all money and grain. The figures of the envoy and the household department must be completely consistent. If there is a slight error, they will be rejected to remake the account books, and the official seal of the original yamen must be affixed. Because they are too far away from the capital, the officials of the bureaucrats and envoys have a long time to go to and from the capital, so they hold blank account books with official seals in advance, and fill them in at any time in case of partial disputes. It is also difficult for people to rely on the numbers here for favoritism and fraud, so the Ministry of Household Affairs does not intervene. As a result, Ming Taizu found out about this matter, Taizu was furious, and ordered the execution of all those who kept the order from the Minister of the Ministry of Households to all the people who kept the order and the main seal. The main reason was not because of how corrupt this kind of thing was. Space, but what it offends is the most taboo thing of the emperor: obedience and violation, bullying and arrogating power. Of course Zhao Kuangyin is not as bloodthirsty as Zhu Yuanzhang, but it is hard to say how he will react when he hears this.He sent the transfer envoy originally to collect the local treasury and forbid it to be withheld by the local government, but now, the transfer envoy left a considerable amount of wealth in his hands. Doesn't this touch his rebellious scale? Yang Hao was stunned for a while, before he said: "This plan is really vicious, once the court finds out, what will happen?" Luo Kejie said: "It's hard to say, the emperor's mind is really hard to guess, in fact... as long as my brother truthfully tells the reason why he did this, and then said that all the transfer envoys do this, it's just a customary habit, the official After the family understands what is going on, they won't be too embarrassing for my brother, but this time, my Luo family will offend all the Gods of Wealth in the world." Yang Hao frowned and asked, "Is there no remedy?" Luo Kejie shook his head, and said frankly: "Dean Yang, you don't have to worry about the Luo family. The officials are kind and won't embarrass the Luo family too much. What's more, my brother is only a deputy envoy, and there is another envoy on top. As long as we have an affair The matter of the Northern Kingdom cannot be proven, even if the crime of corruption is confirmed, it will be nothing more than a punishment of relegation." Yang Hao sighed, shook his head and said: "It's a pity that Yang Hao's position is so light-hearted, and he has no power to deal with such an important court matter, and he can't help after all. Alas..., I am really ashamed." Luo Kejie smiled and said: "Hehe, it's nothing, my father said, sometimes, a loss is an advantage, and only a wise man can see the benefits." "Huh?" Yang Hao's heart skipped a beat, and he looked up at Luo Kejie, Luo Kejie had already talked about him and said, "My father also said that Dean Yang came to visit Luo's family when they were in distress, and wanted to help the Luo family as much as possible. , the Luo family wrote it down. My father also knows what Dean Yang has done recently. The dean has done a good job, but... it’s too late. The court has done its work." Yang Hao was overjoyed when he heard that, listening to his tone, the old fox had already made arrangements for his own predicament, so he didn't need to worry about it too much. Luo Gong is an important minister of the court, and he can often get in touch with Zhao Kuangyin's characters. He revealed this information, obviously to tell himself the emperor The suspicion of himself has been dispelled, this is great news, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
Luo Keqin, who had been taught a lesson by Luo Gongming, stood in front of him like a defeated rooster in Luo's inner house. Luo Gongming ignored him, sipped his tea slowly, and looked at the book in his hand. Then he put the teacup on the table, but he didn't want to put it on empty, and the teacup was snatched away. Luo Gongming's white eyebrows frowned slightly, he raised his head helplessly and said, "Ma'am, what are you doing?" Standing in front of him was a beautiful middle-aged woman in a pure white light shirt. Although there were a few wrinkles on her face, due to the accumulation of years, she added a bit of elegance and grace that girls did not have. Her facial features were charming and round. When Luo Keqin saw her coming, he was overjoyed immediately, and hurriedly bowed and said: "Mother." "You go out, I have something to say to your father." "Yes yes yes!" Luo Keqin was overjoyed and fled out immediately.This Mrs. Luo is Luo Gongdan's successor, about twenty years younger than Luo Gongming, and is the most favored by Luo Gongming. She is the only one in the Luo family who dares to speak loudly in front of this old man.This Mrs. Luo's biological children are only Luo Kedi and an older sister Luo Min, but she came from the door and treated her ex-wife's children equally, winning the respect of everyone in the house. Luo Gongming looked at his son, who was running faster than a rabbit, and snorted, "Who provoked you again, and caused you to come here to ask Wei Xingshi?" The woman opened her spring-like eyes and said angrily: "Don't put on a show in front of me, I heard that Kaifeng Mansion is also bullying you now? If you continue to be a coward, the bullies will come more and more." There are more and more, Kecheng has been detained in Yushi Prison for several days, how about you, eat and sleep well, don't worry at all, isn't he your own?" "Rescue? Can't be saved, can't be saved..." Luo Gongming shook his head again and again: "Isn't it just a few days of detention, neither will he be punished, nor will it be difficult for him. Where is he not eating and sleeping, what is there to worry about?" Luo Gongming After Gongming finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued to read. Mrs. Luo was very angry, she snatched the book and clapped the case, and shouted: "Old fox, what are your plans, now the whole family is in panic, at least you can tell me so that I know." "Plan?" Luo Gongming chuckled, and slowly stood up: "What is the plan? What is the plan? Kecheng was obviously framed by someone, but do you know... who is the mastermind? What is the purpose? The goal is Is he still an old man? Is there anything else to do?" Mrs. Luo was stunned, and said, "I don't know, do you know?" Luo Gongming shook his head and said, "I don't know my husband, so it's better to be still than to move, and it's better to stay still than to move blindly, so as not to mess up your own position." Mrs. Luo said displeasedly: "Then what if there is nothing left? Kecheng has been locked there all the time, you old guy will ignore you? Your heart is really cruel, I see you, I have a heart of extinction, even if I don’t have a life of extinction, my enemies have already died in battle, and they are pointing to Kecheng and Kejie to take care of me in the future, but you are lucky..." When Mrs. Luo mentioned her own son, she immediately burst into tears. Luo Gongming, who had been sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, panicked when he saw it. He got up quickly, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped his tears gently for her, and said, "Look at you, look at you, Why are you crying now, who said that my husband is sitting here and ignores it? I have already started thinking about it, and I waited until you urged me?" Mrs. Luo snatched the handkerchief, wiped her tears indiscriminately, stared at her almond eyes and said, "I've already started to think of a way? I haven't seen you go out yet. Did you appeal to Mr. Zhao's mansion or Nanya Emperor's?" In front of the family, only the words of the two of them have weight." Luo Gongming smiled complacently, stroked his beard and said: "I have asked people to spread the news in the market, saying that my husband and Prime Minister Zhao are generous and offended Mr. Zhao in Nanya, and on the other hand saying that my husband has close contacts with the current emperor's younger brother. Xianggong is jealous, hehe, after these few days of hard work, these rumors must have already spread to the officials' ears through Wu Desi." Mrs. Luo's eyes opened wider and wider, and her rosy lips gradually opened. Luo Gongming said again: "After these few days of hard work, the heat is almost ready. I have secretly informed several friends at Yushitai that tomorrow morning we will The last memorial impeaches my husband for colluding with Kecheng and his son, perverting the law for personal gain, embezzling and extorting bribes, hahaha...uh, madam, what are you doing?" Mrs. Luo took her hand from his forehead, grabbed his goatee, and yelled, "Are you not sick? You can't make yourself happy? If you get impatient, go get some noodles." Suicide by hanging, don't be mad at me here, I'm mad at me, I'm really mad at me, to marry such a foolish old ghost like you." Luo Gongming snatched the beard from her hand, laughed and said: "Ma'am, this is your fault, you have a reason to do this for your husband." Mrs. Luo snatched his chair angrily and sat down by herself, and said angrily, "Say, what do you mean by doing this?" Luo Gongming walked up to her, crossed his arms and said with a smile: "Ma'am, the husband's trick is called retreating as advancing, killing two birds with one stone. Of course, Cheng'er will not cheat on Beiguo. I believe the officials are aware of this. Since the government couldn't get any evidence of Kecheng, the official's slight suspicion naturally disappeared. However, the origin of these valuable goods in Kecheng's cabin cannot be explained, and a charge of smuggling cannot be escaped.This is a small section, but the private savings and interception of wealth in Dongnan Dongdao has been found out. This kind of bullying is the most taboo of the emperor. Today there are courtiers who dare to bully for the public, and tomorrow there will be courtiers who dare to bully for private , in your opinion, the situation is forgivable, but for the sake of respect and emulation, He Xier, the aloof emperor? " Madam Luo's complexion suddenly changed, and she lost her voice: "Is it so serious?" "It's hard to say, even if you don't kill people, you will be punished severely. But for my husband's sake, the officials suspected that it was a dispute between the prime minister and the emperor's younger brother. Someone deliberately framed me. In that case, our Luo family will be safe, and punishment is inevitable. But it won't fall into a slump, and there will be no chance of a comeback, this is called keeping the green hills..." Mrs. Luo rolled her eyes and asked again: "Is this the first eagle you mentioned? What is the second eagle?" Luo Gongming frowned slightly, and said solemnly: "Who is trying to harm this old man? Now I can't figure it out. After thinking about it, this matter is probably related to the dispute between Zhao Xianggong and Nanya Huangdi. Let's You can't just wait here foolishly, and it will be too late to understand when Tu Qiangdagger shows up. Spreading the news for your husband is to hope that they will restrain themselves. On my birthday last autumn, Mr. Zhao celebrated my birthday with a banquet at Deyuelou.During the Chinese New Year, Nanya Huangdi gave a gift, and if he didn't accept it, he would offend others, so he had no choice but to accept it.Now the prime minister, Yin, is fighting more and more fiercely, and life is hard for centrists who want to be wise and protect their lives. But, Zhao Xianggong and Nanya Huangdi, who is better?I can't tell, once you are on the wrong team, you will never be able to turn around. Now they are still fighting secretly, I think... it won't be long before these two adults will have to go into battle shirtless and fight directly. At this juncture, We might as well take advantage of this case to take the opportunity to leave this gathering place, and come back when the weather is calm. " Only then did Mrs. Luo understand his intentions, and after thinking about it carefully, she said unwillingly: "But if this happens, won't Kecheng lose his job as a transfer envoy?" Luo Gongming said disapprovingly: "What's the point of a temporary gain or loss? The transfer envoy is supposed to be changed every three years, and it can't last long. Besides, there's nothing wrong with young people being wronged. If you don't experience some setbacks, your official career will be smooth sailing. You will be full of ambition, and if you stumble when you reach a high position, you may lose your head." Mrs. Luo glared at him, and said angrily, "You old tortoise thinks long-term, and if there is any trouble, you will immediately shrink your head." Luo Gongming smiled and said: "Hehe, only in this way can the political arena last forever..." Mrs. Luo asked again: "Are we all going to leave this time?" Luo Gongming shook his head and said: "Keqin is a member of the Nan Yamen who joined the army. This matter will not implicate him. Of course, he still has to stay in Beijing. This kid has a reckless temperament, and he is most worried about his husband, so I just taught him a lesson. This isn't...you're here before you finish talking." Mrs. Luo snorted coldly and said: "If you are interested, continue to teach your son. Who is going to demolish our yard outside, you old man, have you put up with it too much?" Luo Gongming smiled slightly and said: "The man outside didn't come to demolish our yard, but a righteous man who wanted to build bridges and pave roads to relieve disasters. Hehe, the old man has been an official all his life, and if he is in danger, he, a younger generation, is required to rescue him. There's nothing to mess with. But his friendship is commendable, and my husband has told Keqin that it will be of great benefit to him to walk around with this person more in the future." The alleys on one side of the courtyard wall of Luo Mansion were just a few wooden sheds that were open on three sides, and they were demolished very quickly. At this time, Yang Hao and Luo Kejie had also spoken. When the news of the killing intent disappeared, I felt very relieved. When I saw those yamen servants surrounding me, I took out a string of money from my waist, threw it to the head catcher and said, "It's getting late, I won't let you go." Back home, everyone has worked hard, take this money, please buy wine and eat." The head catcher smiled happily, took the reward and thanked the servants repeatedly, and then went happily. Yang Hao walked along Baokang Lane alone, and when he heard the sound of rushing water, he walked through the alley and arrived. On the edge of the Bian River at the back of the alley, looking at the rolling Bian River, he was secretly excited: a person like Luo Gong is not sure, and he will never speak lightly, and now his danger is finally lifted! Yang Hao was extremely happy in his heart. He took a long breath of moist and fresh air, and a peaceful and relaxed smile appeared on his face. At this moment, he suddenly felt that there was someone behind him. When he turned his head suddenly, he saw three female daughters standing in front of him. there.The three girls are all dressed in men's clothes, but they have not deliberately concealed their identities. The woman in men's clothes in the middle seems to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, with big eyes and watery eyes. Immediately clasped his fists like a man, and said in a crisp voice: "Dean Yang invites you." Yang Hao took a closer look, and the young girl smiled at him. She had a tender face, but she smiled alluringly. "It's her!" That night on Longting Lake, Wu Wa'er was not adorned, she just looked like clear soup hanging in water, it was difficult for Yang Hao to forget this beauty.As soon as she spoke, the other two women dressed in men's clothes moved to the left and right, and surrounded him. Yang Hao couldn't help laughing when he saw that they looked like robbers. He just learned that the looming knife hanging above his head has been removed, and now that he is an official, making money, relaxed, proud and happy, he has a narrow mood and pretends not to know her identity. , smiled and said: "It's Yang, I don't know if the girl is acting like this, is she trying to rob money, or is she robbing sex?" Wu Wa'er's plump lips parted and closed slightly, and she glanced at him, frowning, and asked with a playful and sly smile: "Dean Yang is such a wonderful person, I don't know that this girl wants to rob money." How, robbery... so what?" Yang Hao laughed, showing a look like a pig brother, and said with a smile: "Jie Cai, no. Jie Se, come on!"
