Wang Yun has been promoted to an official for many years. He is not an old fox, but he can barely be regarded as an old fritters.
In the face of Kou Ji’s questioning, he was not afraid, but a bitter expression on his face, dryly said: "Where does the Shangguan start? The subordinate officials are your subordinate officials. If you are going to sue you for your tricks, Officials can't escape punishment.
How could the subordinates do this kind of thankless and offensive thing? "
Kou Ji glanced at Wang Yunsheng and snorted coldly: "Then I will ask you to ask Li Zi to ask for the cost of soup and medicine. Who said it? Why would my grandfather know."
Wang Yunsheng hurriedly said: "Then you have wronged the official, and the official didn't tell anyone. You asked Li Zi to ask for the soup and medicine. It was your instructed."
Without waiting for Kou Ji to speak, Wang Yunsheng said again: "The lower officials guessed that 80% of Kou Xiang thought something was wrong and deliberately defrauded you. Didn't you show any flaws?"
Kou Ji knew that Wang Yunsheng was lying, but did not reveal him. Instead, he snorted: "I didn't show any flaws, but my grandfather said that after I go to court today, I will let the three of me confront each other in court."
When Wang Yunsheng heard this, he was slightly taken aback.
He didn't expect Kou Zhun to hold onto such a small matter.
He wanted to fool Kou Ji a bit, and easily planted this kind of smashing bad reputation on Kou Ji's head.
Now that Kou Zhun insists on holding the three of them to confront each other in court, then he can't fool Kou Ji anymore.
But he didn't want to have a bad reputation for playing pomp on his back.
He pondered for a while, and said bitterly at Kou Ji: "Senior officials, the lower officials are all done according to your wishes..."
Hearing this, Kou Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Then the soup and medicine fee you are asking for, shouldn't it be handed over to the officer?"
"This… "
Wang Yunsheng was a little embarrassed.
He didn't want the shameless reputation, but he wanted all the money.
My family knows my own affairs.
He came from a poor man. Since he was promoted to Li Fang and was recommended for official career, all the relatives in the country have approached him, asking for something to do at his house and mixing up a bite of food.
He has a thick skin on the front of Kou Ji, but a thin skin on the front of his relatives.
After two visits, the house took in many relatives.
In the past, when he was in other yamen, he could mix some oil and water, and his little days were still moisturized.
But he was transferred to the Ministry of Engineering, and after sitting on a cold bench, there was not much oil and water to fish.
Da Song's high salary is good, and his salary is not low.
But compared to making money, salary is actually nothing.
It happened that he was not a jinshi, and he was sitting at the Leng Yamen. Many of the ways to make money did not have his share.
He wants to do business for profit, but there are no business talents in the house.
More importantly, the business field in Bianjing city is very deep.
Even if it is a handful of loess, it is in charge.
As long as you open the door to do business, there is more or less a background behind it.
Just like the Donglai pawnshop and Ziqi gambling house that Kou Ji moved to before, standing behind is a servant Wu Xian.
There is also the shop front rented by Zhang Cheng, with Wu Xian's shadow behind it.
Kou Ji moved to Wu Xian, as if he had crushed an ant to death.
That's because Kou Ji has a deep background.
It's him, but it doesn't work.
Wu Xian is a serious scholar of eight hundred years.
If he confronted Wu Xian, whether it was his fault or not, the important officials in the court who had a scholarship background would prefer Wu Xian.
His salary can also make the life of the mansion comfortable.
Only with the addition of two prodigal sons, his salary is not enough.
His two sons are not good at studying, so they just learn to do what they do, and spend the whole day with a group of honorable children.
His little salary was defeated at odds and ends.
But he couldn't beat or scold him.
With one beating and one scolding, his mother and wife protected the two prodigal sons.
In the old days, the fertile fields that his family bought outside the city of Bianjing could contribute some money to him every year.
But a flood outside the city of Bianjing engulfed his family's fertile fields outside the city, and the tenants who were farming fled and scattered.
After the beginning of the spring, he had to hire tenants again, and he had to waive one year's rent to appease those tenants who helped him farm.
Bianjing City is no better than other places. If he squeezes tenants too much and gains a reputation for being unkind, he will definitely be impeached.
And the price of food in Bianjing City has been raised to a prohibitive level by the flood.
His salary is not enough to maintain the family's expenses.
If this were not the case, he would not have hurried to find Kou Ji to implement these two rights after learning that the inner court had transferred the two rights of Dushui and Tuntian to the Ministry of Industry.
Nor would he really leave his skin to find Li Zinao.
He hurriedly helped the Ministry of Industry to seize power, and hoped that after the Ministry of Industry had power, he could get some oil and water to subsidize his family.
He could make up a thousand pennies for Kou Ji, but he was unwilling to use it.
But Kou Ji was given money, and after the beginning of the spring next year, he would have no money to recruit and settle tenants.
So when Kou Ji asked him for money, he was a little panicked.
Kou Ji didn't know about Wang Yunsheng's family affairs. Seeing Wang Yunsheng's face was embarrassed, he thought Wang Yunsheng belonged to Pixiu, so he could not eat, so he laughed in a low voice: "I don't want to take out the money?"
Wang Yunsheng smiled dryly and said, "The subordinate official is indeed mad by the people of the three divisions. The money is just enough for the subordinate official to drink medicine."
Wang Yunsheng is playing tricks.
When Kou Ji heard this, he was angry and funny, "Don't tell the officer that there are those who don't. Let you ask Li Zi for the idea of asking for money, it is the official. Now the officer can still bear the notoriety. .
According to the rules, this money should be taken by the official.
It's hard work for you to make a fuss.
Take one or two hundred pennies of hard money. "
Seeing Kou Ji's reluctance, Wang Yunsheng opened his hands and said helplessly: "The money has been spent by the official."
Hearing this, Kou Ji narrowed his eyes, "The idea that the official gave, the notoriety that the official backs, the official has no money to take, it is not in compliance."
Wang Yunsheng said with a bitter face: "There are also difficulties in subordinating officials."
Kou Ji said coldly: "The official doesn't lack that little money, but the official has planned a game, so he can't take nothing and bear the notoriety for nothing
The officer will tell you straight.
Either you are notorious, and you take all the money.
Either the official is notorious and the money belongs to the official. "
Wang Yunsheng looked embarrassed.
Kou Ji faintly said: "You are an official who is not a jinshi, what do you want to be famous for? You are not young, and your official career generally stops here. What is the use of reputation
Are you going to wait for you to be your husband after you resign
This official is different. This official is one of the assistant exams for next year's Chunwei.
How much to maintain the reputation. "
Wang Yunsheng was shocked when he heard Kou Ji's words.
He stared at Kou Jigan and laughed: "You must have reputation for subordinate officials! If the subordinate officials lose their reputation, it is difficult to say whether the official position of the subordinate officials can be maintained."
Kou Ji said indifferently: "You forgot who your Shangguan is, and who is your Shangguan's grandfather?"
Wang Yunsheng looked at Kou Ji in amazement.
Kou Ji looked at Wang Yunsheng, and said without a smile: "Can you follow our grandparents, do you still worry about having no officials to do it?"
Wang Yunsheng widened his eyes, opened his mouth wide, and said in shock: "Shangguan is willing to regard the next official as his confidant?"
Kou Ji said calmly: "If you are useful, why can't you be regarded as a confidant?"
Wang Yunsheng was overjoyed.
He said decisively: "The lower official will definitely not let you get any bad reputation."
He is an official who relied on the recommendation of people to enter the official career. He knows better than anyone the importance of a backing behind.
So after Kou Ji threw out the olive branch, he did not even think about it, and decisively agreed.
Kou Ji smiled knowingly, "After going to the court for a while, how do you say it, are you clear about it?"
Wang Yunsheng nodded decisively, "This matter has nothing to do with you or me. The fault lies with Sansi."
Kou Ji laughed and nodded, "You are very good."
Wang Yunsheng arched his hands and said, "Thank you Shangguan for your praise."
Kou Ji encouraged Wang Yunsheng a few more words and left Wang Yunsheng's sedan chair.
Wang Yunsheng was so excited in the sedan chair that he couldn't help himself.
The officials in the courtroom who want to vote for Kou Zhun and Kou Jizusun's clans do not know where they are.
It’s just that Kou Zhun’s vision is quite high. Apart from some officials he valued and a group of confidants who followed him in his early years, he did not pretend to other officials. Therefore, even if many officials went to Kou Mansion with generous gifts, they did not Take care of it.
Kou Ji is more difficult to serve than Kou Zhun. Since Kou Ji entered the official career, he has never seen him accept any surrender.
I have never seen a generous gift from anyone.
Therefore, those officials who want to join the Kou Mansion have never had a chance.
How could he be unhappy now that Kojiken personally accepted him into the door wall of Kou Mansion.
How can I not be excited.
In the past, he voted under Li Fang's family. Under Li Fang's support, it took six years to move from being a Nine-Rank Sesame Officer to the position of Foreign Lang, a member of the household department.
At that time, his promotion was as easy as eating and drinking.
But since Li Fang passed away, he has been assigned to the Ministry of Engineering as a cold bench, where he has been sitting for more than 20 years.
During this period, he also served outside and moved inside.
Twenty years back and forth, he was promoted to the position of Minister of Engineering.
Now that he has voted under the Kou Mansion, he may not be able to touch the most desired position of all the civil servants.
Although at his age, it is impossible to have another chance to sit in that position.
But if he can sit in the position of a Shangshu in his lifetime, with the help of Kou Mansion, it will be enough to be a famous name and become a wife.
Even if his two sons are not successful, they can still use his shadow to get a good official position.
After all, with his current official nominee, his two sons are official nominees at most from the ninth rank.
But if he got into the position of a Shangshu, his two sons would be able to serve as seventh-rank officials directly.
If he died, the court would definitely promote his two sons to show Long En.
After Kou Ji left, Wang Yunsheng thought about it a lot, even if the drums on Donghua Gate rang, he didn't hear it.
Had it not been for the reminder from the old servant of the house, he had almost missed the hour.
After the drums on the Donghua Gate rang, the officials got off the sedan chair and hurriedly entered the Donghua Gate.
He walked swiftly all the way, and stopped when he entered the Chuggong Hall.
In the hanging arch hall.
The earth fire dragon was blazing, and everyone who entered the temple felt a warm current oncoming.
Some of the thick-dressed officials, after entering the Suigong Hall, had to take off the large cloak outside and hand them to the eunuchs and palaces to hold them.
After the hour is up.
Kou Zhun led Zhao Zhen into the Chugong Hall.
After Zhao Zhen sat down, the officials bowed and saluted.
When Kou Ji was giving the ceremony, he scanned the officials in the hanging arch hall.
In the past few days when he discovered that he did not go to court, there were a lot less familiar faces in the Chui Gong Hall.
In the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Punishment, there is only one Zuo Shilang.
None of the other officials from the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs were present.
In addition, three or two subordinate officials of the three divisions disappeared.
Li Di and Wang Zeng did not go to court either.
Kou Ji guessed that 80% of Li Di and Wang Zeng were investigating Chang Pingcang.
The two political affairs officials worked together.
Those officials who are tricking ghosts in the Changping warehouse are afraid that the heads of the people who are going to be killed are rolling.
Today, whether it was Kou Zhun who ordered the killing, or the civilian officials who Kou Zhun, Li Di, and Wang Zeng used Zhao Zhen's pretence to kill, there are countless.
Words such as not being sentenced to a doctor have long become empty words.
Now even if the crime is committed, the penalty cannot fall on him, and I am afraid that only the imperial second-rank and the second-rank or higher officials.
It is appropriate to use punishment not to be a second product, and to replace punishment not to be a doctor.
After a simple salute.
The Manchu civil and military began to discuss matters.
Dang Kou Ji made a report on the resettlement of refugees outside the city.
Kou Ji had already prepared and made a report in class.
Zhao Zhen praised Kou Ji in the hall and said, "Afterwards, he will be rewarded by meritorious deeds," thus exposing the problem of Kou Ji's resettlement of refugees.
After the issue of resettlement of the refugees was exposed, discussions began to discuss the problem of measuring the fertile land inundated outside the city and the fertile land in the Kaifeng Mansion that was flooded.
Whenever floods occur, re-measurement of land yields is what the imperial court must do.
The purpose is to prevent civil conflicts over land issues.
After all, for the common people, land property is the vitality of a family, and it is more important than life.
Civilian people often plant dealers in order to occupy ridges, or move ridges privately to encroach on other people's fields, and it will kill you or die.
After discussion among hundreds of officials, it was finally decided that the issue of re-measurement of land properties would be handed over to the Ministry of Industry, which had just obtained the power of farming.
Kou Ji didn't feel much about this.
After Wang Yunsheng heard that the imperial court wanted to hand over the power of land measurement to the Ministry of Industry, he almost called out on the spot with no excitement.
Measure the land, it is a very oily errand.
After discussing the issue of land production, other issues were discussed one after another.
After the major event has been dealt with.
Kou Zhuncai brought Li Zi, Kou Ji, and Wang Yunsheng out to confront each other.
Li Zi accused Wang Yunsheng of playing tricks in Sansi, which harmed the court’s face and official power.
Kou Ji asked three questions.
Wang Yunsheng, who received Kou Ji's promise, changed his previous statement when he was cross-examined by Kou Zhun, and pushed all the questions to the head of Sansi.
No matter what Kou Zhun asked or what Li Zi accused him of, he insisted that it was the people from Sansi who hit him and knocked him down.
