Chapter 266 I'm not a gentleman
Rong Di then got down to business and said respectfully, "I have found the Taoist priest the general ordered me to find."
"The Taoist name is Bao Pu."
"The Taoist temple he is in is Xuan Zhen Temple, located on the top of a mountain in the far suburbs, and the road is difficult to travel. More than 20 years ago, it was still somewhat famous. After the Niangniang Temple became popular, Xuan Zhen Temple fell into decline."
"I proposed to recruit him,
but he didn't respond." He was so tough.
Rong Di did not specify the identity of the Wei family army.
After all, they were not his own people.
He only said that his master had read his fortune for free a few days ago.
Taoist Bao Pu was very disdainful.
Then...
Rong Di: "I threw money at him. I agreed."
His attitude changed all of a sudden.
Bao Pu never thought that one day he would be so valuable.
Fearing that Rong Di would regret it, he hurriedly took the silver bills into his arms and agreed.
The Taoist temple is really too poor!
There are still junior brothers and sisters to support.
He also asked Rong Di what he wanted him to do. As long as it doesn't harm the world, it's fine.
Rong Di only said two words.
Stand by.
Wei Zhao glanced at the sky: "Okay, I got it, is there anything else?"
Rong Di had no idea that the general had already wanted to order them to leave, and reported: "The valuables in the Zhu family's secret room have also been emptied."
"Seeing that there is plenty of time, I took the initiative to plunder the rooms of Zhu Jiazi and Old Lady Zhu."
His plunder was the kind that left nothing behind.
Including Zhu Jiazi's Huanghuali bed, he also took it away.
He spread out the booklet he took out of his arms.
"Everything has been registered and the pawnshop has been appraised."
Wei Zhao: ...
He took it and turned directly to the last page.
It was the final total amount of money collected.
Wei Zhao closed the book again and said casually, "It's less."
Rong Di agreed, "Compared with the mansions that were robbed before, the Zhu family is indeed poor."
Rong Di added, "We have people in Wuyang City, so it's easy to investigate. The wizard was invited by the Zhu family from the Western Regions. He has been secretly working for the Zhu family for many years."
"In addition to exchanging the life of the Zhu family's son, he also did a lot of evil magic that hurt the world."
"The Zhu family has been tea merchants for generations, and many of them are not clean in business."
It is not easy to sit firmly and have a foothold with a merchant background.
At least when Mr. Zhu's father was alive, the Zhu family had a lot of shameful activities.
"After Mr. Zhu took over the business, he settled those dirty things little by little. He knows how to behave, and the Zhu family's business is getting more and more prosperous."
Year after year, there was the matter of the Niangniang Temple, and he became a "true" great philanthropist.
"He did have frequent contacts with the previous county magistrate."
Other merchants flattered the county magistrate by offering all kinds of benefits to bribe him with both hands.
But the Zhu family is different.
"He always gives money. But he is extremely cautious, even to the point of not revealing anything."
Rong Di: "Hosting a temple fair is not a trivial matter. The lifting of the curfew requires the approval of the government."
"Except for the lion dance and opera performances, the stall fees for the past two days and the pass fees for entering and leaving the city gate are not completely free. In fact, they are all paid by the Zhu family."
Is this a good deed?
Yes.
It has led to the prosperity and liveliness of Wuyang City.
At the same time, it encourages poor people like the old woman who is playing the ring toss to make a little money to improve people's livelihood. The kind that does not cost much.
This is a great good.
Holding a temple fair is inevitable to avoid petty theft and the desire to get something for nothing.
This requires the government to send people to patrol.
Rong Di: "The Zhu family will give money to buy wine as a reward, and will also hire many people from the escort agency to protect the safety of the people."
It is also comprehensive.
Even when the weather is slightly cool, there are servants of the Zhu family on every street pouring hot water for tourists for free.
"The money here was all handed over to the government office by the Zhu family."
"The people know that the Zhu family's account office also records it this way."
"So, Mr. Zhu always went to the government office in person to deliver the money. He never said that it was a filial piety to the adults, so as not to leave any handle. The county magistrate, however, knew it was not right, and put the extra money in his own pocket.
But every time the Zhu family sent money, the government office's account book would always record less.
For example, the money put into the pocket would not be counted.
Only the money used for the people would be recorded.
"The government office's account book is exactly the same as what was written in the Zhu family's account office."
Later, the county magistrate was in trouble and was beheaded. Those who bribed him did not have a good end, except for the Zhu family.
The county magistrate did give him up.
Facing the interrogation of the officials who came to Beijing, Mr. Zhu pretended to be innocent.
But who has evidence?
The evidence is clearly written in the account book. If
the county magistrate confesses to him, it would be slander.
What's more, the Zhu family has a very good reputation. It's so
good that everyone in the Zhu family often forgets what kind of rotten things they are.
Rong Di: "When I came here, it looked like the jail in the government office was going to conduct an overnight trial."
"The county magistrate looks young. Do you want to send some clues?"
Wei Zhao: "No need."
"The new officials sent to Beijing this time were all selected by He Xuran. They are not fools, it's just sooner or later. If you really can't find out, you don't have to be a parent official."
What's more, this matter involves witchcraft.
It's not a trivial matter.
Wei Zhao stroked the wall of the cup with his fingertips, and the touch was ordinary.
The girl's hands are still good to touch, soft as if they have no bones.
——The
lights were on in the bedroom.
When Wei Zhao finished his work and went over, the girl had already lay down.
He washed up and walked to the couch. His eyes fell on the girl's fair and tender face.
The girl was curled up under the red quilt, her black hair was loose and her eyes were closed.
Wei Zhao heard that her breathing was a little faster than before. He raised his eyebrows, lowered the curtain, and held the girl in his arms.
Well, the girl's body was a little stiff.
Yu Tingwan, who was pretending to be asleep, did not respond.
Wei Zhao was not in a hurry either.
His hand went through the girl's hem and reached inside.
"What should I do?"
He seemed embarrassed: "It is really not a gentleman's behavior to wake you up."
Yu Tingwan:...
But your hand doesn't mean that.
The next moment.
"Oh." It was a long lazy tone.
Wei Zhao said slowly: "I'm not a gentleman."
Whoever wants to be a gentleman can be.
Yu Tingwan finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he
pressed the rebellious hand on her chest like kneading dough.
She looked at Wei Zhao pleadingly: "It hurts."
"Awake?"
Yu Tingwan:...
Knowing it is not asking.
Wei Zhao looked at Yu Tingwan.
Yu Tingwan looked at him eagerly.
He laughed angrily.
"I haven't entered 1 yet."
"/Go, your clothes are all on, what are you hurting about?"
Yu Tingwan was sullen.
The resistance on her face was obvious.
Wei Zhao kissed her lips: "It will be harder the first few times, but it will be better in the future. "
Yu Tingwan pursed her lips.
"I can't adapt."
She hummed and said something.
Wei Zhao: "Huh?"
Yu Tingwan said in a low voice: "You look uncomfortable to me."
Wei Zhao's face suddenly darkened.
He felt that Yu Tingwan really should wash his eyes.
Wei Zhao was even frustrated.
He couldn't change his appearance.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Yu Tingwan knew that he had misunderstood.
The girl's eyes trembled.
She blushed and said softly.
"I'm not talking about the face."
