Chapter 146 Want to get it back? Give me money! (Subscribe)
"Gah!"

"quack!"

In Fangchun Tower, the most exquisitely decorated courtyard is filled with silence.

On the surface of the goldfish pond behind Yan Shaoting, several water birds were startled by the sound of slamming the table and the cold shouting, and they flapped their wings and flew up, chirping in panic.

The schools of goldfish that appeared above the water surface disappeared in an instant and sank to the bottom of the water.

A few night fishermen on the other side of the river were swearing at Fangchunlou.

Who gave you face?
Yan Shaoting's questioning voice echoed in the waterside courtyard.

Xu Wei stepped forward and placed another stack of notes in front of Yan Shaoting.

Yan Shaoting's eyes were gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "According to the laws of our country, seeking official positions and buying titles is a serious crime. Everyone, I really want to know who gave you the courage to come here and ask for the country's most important weapon!"

After saying this, Yan Shaoting waved his hand.

His palm once again covered the new pile of papers in front of him.

"Today, if you can't give me an explanation, no one will be able to leave here."

As Yan Shaoting finished his words.

The gate was opened from the outside.

Jinyiwei Captain Zhu Qi and Qi Dazhu stood silently behind the courtyard gate.

Outside the half-open gate, the figures of many Jinyiwei cavalrymen could be vaguely seen.

And on the other side of the water behind Yan Shaoting.

The fishermen who were cursing had already dropped their fishing gear and fled for their lives.

Under the shade of the trees by the water, the traces of the Dongchang guards were visible.

No one thought of it.

Yan Shaoting actually dared to break the unspoken rules that had been maintained in the court for so many years.

He is breaking the rules!

How dare he!

Xu Kun was full of surprise and confusion, and was even more shocked by Yan Shaoting's behavior tonight.

How bold is Yan Shaoting to break the rules?

Gao Wuguan was also full of confusion.

Fortunately, the Gao family did not send any list to Changping this time.

The Ministry of Revenue simply pushed him to the military supply post.

The original joy of everyone present was swept away.

After Xu Kun pondered for a while, he immediately said with a pale face: "Brother Yan Shi..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yan Shaoting's eyes.

"Xu Shaoqing, I am a reader in the Imperial Academy, a right scholar in the Right Spring Office of the Chancellery, and a doctor in the Zhejiang Qingli Division of the Ministry of Revenue."

"Please address me by my official title, Xu Shaoqing!"

Xu Kun looked embarrassed and his face suddenly darkened.

He snorted secretly, "Shidu Yan, I wonder what Shidu Yan wants to do now? Since the incident has happened, Shidu Yan can just make a decision. After all, even if Shidu Yan has those notes in his hand, if he sends them to the Three Law Courts, it cannot be said that this is a violation of the law."

The note only contained the person's name and official background.

But he did not mention a word that he was seeking the position of quartermaster.

This is still the unspoken rule in official circles.

The purpose from the beginning was to prevent someone from acting like Yan Shaoting did today.

After all, they are all in the circle.

There is a name and everyone knows what it means.

Yan Shaoting snorted, "Why do you think the factory guards are here, Xu Shaoqing?"

This statement came out.

Xu Kun's expression changed again.

He knew it all without Yan Shaoting explaining in detail, as Yan Shaoting had already reported the matter to Xiyuan.

After Yan Shaoting asked this question, a sneer appeared on his face.

This time, the Taoist priest took the test to the end.

From the beginning of the Xiyuan Incident, to the military supply affairs, and then to the impeachment by the censors of the Yuxi Palace that day, the Taoist priest took the initiative.

On that day, in front of the cabinet, six ministries, five temples, nine ministers and all the censors.

The Taoist priest made the decision directly and executed Zheng Mao.

It was just a test.

In the past, even if the Taoist priest wanted to kill someone, he would always use the excuse of beating him with a stick.

It was rare for someone to be executed directly.

On that day in Yuxi Palace, once the Taoist priest opened his mouth, no one dared to say a word, and they ordered the emperor to execute Zheng Mao.

today.

It is also a new temptation.

The Taoist priest wants to obtain the power to appoint and dismiss officials regarding the military supplies issue arising from the Xiyuan Incident.

Opportunity. Since Yan Shaoting disregarded the unspoken rules and reported the matter to Xiyuan, the Taoist priest took the opportunity to cooperate in achieving this goal.

But it was limited to the military supplies affairs involving the Xiyuan Incident this time.

As for the unspoken rules in the court?

Yan Shaoting snorted coldly, "I am a Ming official appointed by His Majesty. I abide by the Ming laws and respect the Ming laws. I have always been abiding by the rules. If anyone dares to make me break the rules and violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty, then I will have to break your so-called unspoken rules."

At this moment, in Fangchun Tower, beside the goldfish pond.

Yan Shaoting can be said to be a man of integrity.

There is no one else in the world who can be as righteous as him.

Oh.

wrong.

There is also a Haigang Peak in the southeast!

Xu Kun's face almost turned purple with anger.

Everyone present also turned their eyes to Xu Kun.

No matter which side the people present are on.

Now you, Xu Laoer, are from Ci Fu's family, so it was you, Xu Laoer, who took the lead in this matter.

If you don't speak, none of us will speak.

Shoot the first bird.

The sky is big, and the tall man can support it.

You, Xu Lao Er, are tall. Xu Kun naturally felt the gazes from all around him.

His hands, hidden under the table, were clenched into fists.

Xu Kun gnashed his teeth and uttered one word after another: "Yan Shidu! What on earth do you want!"

Yan Shaoting, however, gave Xu Laoer a big smile.

"I don't want anything. I am a clean official in the court and I have the trust of Your Majesty. What else do I need?"

No desires or desires?

You, Yan Shaoting, are not a clean person!
Xu Kun had already cursed Yan Shaoting from head to toe in his heart.

Yan Shaoting saw that Xu Laoer's face had changed several times due to anger, and it turned blue and purple.

He just opened his mouth and said: "Since you want to run for office and buy a title, you have found me.

As an official in the court, I naturally have to abide by what you call the rules.

But selling official positions is a capital crime, you can't ask me to do things for you while being punished by death, can you?"

Following Yan Shaoting's explanation.

Everyone was confused again.

What on earth does Yan Shaoting want to do today?

Yan Shaoting picked up the stack of papers with names written on them and waved them towards everyone.

"You wrote these things and sent them to Changping, and now they are in my hands."

"This matter has fallen into my hands."

"It has always been the case in our dynasty that if you don't report it, you won't investigate it."

After finishing speaking, Yan Shaoting stopped talking and swept his eyes across the faces of everyone present.

That was the matter, although Xiyuan knew about it.

But as long as these notes didn't enter Xiyuan, even if the factory guards were there, it would still be a matter of openness.

But once the note entered Xiyuan.

That's a public thing.

Now that the affairs of various parties seeking official positions and buying titles have been made public.

Naturally, we can only follow the laws of the Ming Dynasty and act according to the rules.

Everyone was speculating.

Subsequently.

There was a loud rustling sound.

Except for Xu Kun and Gao Wuguan, the rest all knelt beside the table facing Yan Shaoting.

"Please read it carefully and give your instructions."

"We will obey you in every way."

The noise startled the fish in the goldfish pond that were originally hiding under the water. They floated to the surface one after another, revealing their heads.

Yan Shaoting looked at Xu Kun and Gao Wuguan.

Gao Wuguan smiled and said, "Mr. Yan, I still mean the same thing. As long as Mr. Yan wants to do something about the shortage of quartermasters, I and the Gao family will definitely help you with all our strength."

After saying this, Gao Wuguan looked at Xu Kun opposite him with an ambiguous expression.

The Gao family helped with all their strength.

Including but not limited to just cooperating with Yan Shaoting to severely punish those present for the crime of seeking official positions and buying titles.

Who knows, he might even cooperate or even act as the main force to bring down Lord Xu.

The position of the second assistant in the Ming Dynasty cabinet.

He is sitting in the Xu family.

The Gao family can also sit!

Xu Kun naturally understood the meaning of Gao Wuguan's words.

His face was gloomy and he glared at Boss Gao who had ulterior motives.

Then he looked at Yan Shaoting.

"Mr. Yan, if you have any reason, just say it in front of everyone today. I will not argue with you."

Xu Kun now wished he could kill Yan Shaoting and Gao Wuguan who was agreeing with him.

He was the deputy prime minister of the Ming Dynasty Cabinet. Wherever he went, he was the chief and everyone had to flatter him.

Only today, I am willing to sit in second seat.

But he was defeated everywhere.

Yan Shaoting is even more ruthless.

As Xu Kun opened his mouth, everyone present spoke in unison.

"I will wait for Yan Shidu to give his orders."

Yan Shaoting smiled faintly.

"Since you all said so, these lines must be drawn tonight."

"Although I have always been law-abiding, I don't know what the rules are behind the sale of official positions. But since they are all business that can get you killed, I'm afraid the price must be high."

"As an official in the court, I don't want my colleagues to lose their friendship and ruin everyone's dignity."

"I have these things in my hand. They are still here. It is up to you whether to send them to Xiyuan for public display or return the same way."

If you want it back, pay!

Yan Shaoting's eyes swept across everyone and finally fell on Xu Kun.

He smiled and said, "Speaking of which, today Xu Shaoqing came to Changping Academy in person. He was worried about the future students of the academy and donated 5,000 taels of silver. I am here to thank Xu Shaoqing on behalf of the future students of Changping Academy."

Five thousand taels!
Xu Kun felt as if his mouth was stuffed with shit and he felt sick all over.

This Yan Shaoting is really shameless.

He does nothing but asks for five thousand taels with just a few pieces of paper!

Not only Xu Kun, but even the officials kneeling on the ground looked embarrassed.

A note costs five thousand taels.

It's not done yet.

What is more conceivable is that with the names on these slips, it is unlikely that they will be able to fill the vacancies of the quartermaster.

Spend five thousand taels just to get back that piece of paper.

It's really a complete loss!
