Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Wang Zhenfu told about the solicitation of bribes, and hinted at the relationship between Mrs. Huarui and Guo Shao. But he concealed what happened the day Mrs. Huarui was slapped, it was really hard to tell.

"I took the money back to them today and even apologized." Wang Zhenfu added.

After Wei Changqi heard this, he patted the table lightly, and said briskly: "This matter is not a big problem, you can rest assured. There are too many people collecting money in the officialdom, and no catastrophe will happen just because of this matter... Now don't go to Duke Qin's mansion, I will replace it with someone else."

After hearing this, Wang Zhenfu bowed and bowed, expressing his gratitude. After all, there is something to hide, he is still a little uneasy, and said: "Before this, I didn't know about Mrs. Huarui at all. I thought she was just a concubine of the subjugated Shu kingdom... Naturally, there was a lot of disrespect in my words, and I offended her."

Wei Changqi waved his hand in disapproval.

Wang Zhenfu asked cautiously again: "A lowly official position..."

"I've said it all, it's not a big deal." Wei Changqi said impatiently.

...

In the front yard of the mansion, Zuo You and Jing Niang met Guo Shao. Zuo You narrated the meeting with Meng Chang. He described it in great detail, and then added his opinion: "I think that Qin Guogong did it all at once, and only thought of the consequences after poking a hole. He didn't plan carefully at all, and it was like a child's play. Now he is terrified and just wants to find excuses to shirk his responsibility..."

"Governor Wang, that dog official!" Jing Niang suddenly cursed.

Guo Shao turned his head and glanced at Jingniang, but said nothing.

When Zuo You described Meng Chang's reaction, he had already told about Mrs. Huarui. Guo Shao was also very angry at this time. What he was angry with was not that the official named Wang Zhenfu asked for bribes, but that the guy wanted to rape Mrs. Huarui!

Mrs. Huarui is very pretty, very beautiful... Although he didn't want to take possession of her by force, but hearing that Mrs. Huarui was treated like this, he was inexplicably very upset.

Guo Shao holds the power of life and death, but has always been very restrained, so he has to think: I am very popular in Tokyo, if I come forward, it will cause bad influence.

Guo Shao asked calmly: "Mr. Zuo thinks how to deal with this matter?"

While talking, he looked slightly sideways at Jing Niang. Guo Shao attaches great importance to the people he cares about... The difference between him and ordinary heroes is that he does not distinguish between personal and important matters. Sometimes he even feels that national affairs are not important to anyone.

"Governor Wang must be severely punished." Zuo You said, "The first thing to govern a country is officials. If you indulge, it will only make the officialdom corrupt and corrupt, which is harmful and useless! Besides, these green-robed officials are useless. If you don't punish him, who will you rule?"

After hearing this, Guo Shao praised Zuo You very much, and immediately responded: "Mr. Zuo is right. But in Tokyo, too many people pay attention to me, and it is inconvenient for me to come forward. You can do it. The result I want to see is to completely drive people like Governor Wang out of the officialdom."

Zuo You cupped his fists and said, "I understand."

Guo Shao said again: "Shangshu Province among the three provinces is the institution that executes the decision-making; a person with the talent of the prime minister can implement the decision-making. Look at Mr. Zuo's execution ability."

After hearing this, Zuo You was thoughtful, and said solemnly, "I will finish this matter within five days, and my lord will be satisfied."

...

Zuo You went straight to the Privy Council to meet Wei Renpu.

In the afternoon of the same day, Wei Renpu, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, rushed to Xuanhuiyuan in a hurry and asked someone to find Wei Changqi, a junior of his own clan. Seeing Wei Renpu's uneasy expression, Wei Changqi paid his respects and said, "What is it that made uncle angry?"

"Do you still want to be an official? If you don't want to go home to farm and study, don't come to the court and cause trouble for me!" Wei Renpu was an elder, and he was very angry.

Wei Changqi was shocked, he bent down quickly and said, "Uncle, calm down, you have to tell my nephew first, what did you do wrong?"

Wei Renpu said: "How did you restrain your subordinates? Did you collect money? There is a man named Wang Zhenfu in Xuanhui Academy who moved Mrs. Huarui."

"Madam Huarui?" Wei Changqi was taken aback.

Wei Renpu's face was ashen, and he said in a deep voice: "Si Guo in front of the palace inspected and led troops to attack Shu. Mrs. Huarui is the trophy he wants. He hasn't moved yet. I guess he didn't want to make things too ugly. That Wang Zhenfu is old, but he wants to taste it first? Don't tell me, you don't know what your subordinates are doing."

"This... this..." Wei Changqi widened his eyes and said, "My nephew really doesn't know! I knew he asked for bribes, and he should have gotten the money from Qin Guogong."

"It's a fart to get some money!" Wei Renpu said angrily, "My friendship with Guo Dujian came from the storm... Now all his staff are looking for me. You'd better give me a satisfactory explanation, and don't mess with me because of some messy things!"

"Yes, yes." Wei Changqi frowned, "My nephew knows what to do..."

Wei Renpu glanced at him: "Don't mention Mrs. Huarui, just talking about corruption and perverting the law is enough."

Wei Changqi hurriedly said, "I'm trying to find a way to do it."

...Wei Changqi was scolded by his uncle from the same clan, and he returned to the Yamen of Xuanhuiyuan full of anger, and immediately ordered: "Call Wang Zhenfu to the signing room!"

Wang Zhenfu quickly walked in, and said: "I pay my respects to the envoy of Wei."

Wei Changqi was no longer the calm face in the morning, now he had a cold expression: "You can't live with your own crimes, you are too disappointing to me. After doing such a thing, you still have to hide it. I can't do it even if I want to help you."

When Wang Zhenfu heard it, he fell to his knees, weeping, and said in a low voice: "The next official is always very polite to Mr. Wei, and you said in the morning to protect my official position..."

"Official position?" Wei Changqi laughed back angrily, and sneered, "I think you still don't know your situation, and you don't know how you died."

Wang Zhenfu was stunned: "What is the meaning of Wei Shijun's words, the lower officials didn't kill and set fire, is it a crime of death? Wei Shijun, you can't be too ruthless, I have also done a lot of benefits to you..."

Wei Changqi was furious after hearing this: "You really don't know how to live or die, and dare to threaten me with that little thing?"

Wang Zhenfu hurriedly said: "I dare not."

Wei Changqi said angrily, "I've always protected you, but you've lied to me! It's your responsibility to hide that matter from me, and I can't rely on my disrespect... I was mistaken, so you're not up to the mark! Who else can you ask besides me, but you dare to blackmail me? The surname Wang made Lao Tzu anxious, and you can't do it alone!"

"Wei Shijun, I'm damned, I said the wrong thing in a moment of confusion." Wang Zhenfu hurriedly moved two steps forward on his knees, and said with a mournful face, "Is it really that serious?"

Wei Chang wondered: "Others took Madam Huarui back after they worked so hard to bring down the Kingdom of Shu. Are you going to touch her lightly?" He stood up angrily, pointed at Wang Zhenfu's nose and said, "Go, after you figure it out, kill yourself!"

"Wei Shijun, Wei Shijun!" Wang Zhenfu hurriedly hugged Wei Changqi's leg.

Wei Changqi kicked him angrily, and flicked his robe sleeves: "I can do it myself."

Wang Zhenfu knelt in the signing room and didn't get up for a long time. His face had turned pale, and all the strength in his body was suddenly sucked out; suddenly he felt a huge mountain pressing down on his head, and he was as powerless as an ant.

I finally felt that that mountain was the crushing of the strong by the weak! It makes people have no courage or room to resist.

But didn't he also feel that Meng Chang and Mrs. Huarui couldn't resist?

A dark pressure forced Wang Zhenfu to catch his breath. When he thought that even the envoy of the North Xuanhui Court could not protect him, he was in despair. After a long time, he stood up and left the signing room in despair.

After thinking about it for a while, is he going to seek death like this? Wang Zhenfu really didn't want to lose his life just like that. After all, he didn't think he deserved to die... The rich and prosperous life, the official status respected by the world, he lived a good life, but it just disappeared in such a muddle?

Wang Zhenfu wandered around, suddenly excited, and hurried home, packing up the most valuable things in the house. The woman heard the tinkle, clang, clang, and came in to have a look. She didn't know what he was going to do, so she pestered him when he came up. Wang Zhenfu was furious, and slapped him to the ground with a slap. Regardless of the woman crying, he hurried out to the Duke Qin's mansion.

At the gate of the inner courtyard, the eunuch Wei Zhong stopped Wang Zhenfu, put his hips on his arms and asked, "What does Governor Wang want to do?"

This guy may have sensed the change in the situation, and his attitude is completely different from the submissiveness he had before. Wang Zhenfu didn't have the heart to care about this, and hurriedly handed over the bag: "I brought some presents, and I want to give them to Duke Qin, please give them a recommendation."

"This..." The eunuch glanced at him, "You take it first, I'll ask, and you will give it to the master yourself later."

Not long after, the eunuch came back and took Wang Zhenfu to the hall.

This time only Meng Chang was sitting there. Wang Zhenfu hurriedly delivered the things, and said: "The official is here to make amends. A small gift is not a respect. I hope Duke Qin will accept it with a smile."

Meng Chang stretched out his hand and took out a silver pot in a big way, said "Huh", then opened his pocket and looked in. Of course, the "Emperor of Great Shu" was not short of money before, but after two months of hardship, he also liked money.

"Give it to me?" Meng Chang asked.

Wang Zhenfu said: "If you don't think it's enough, the lower officials still have land..."

At this moment, Mrs. Huarui came out from the side door, frowned and said to Meng Chang: "Ah Lang, don't rush to accept it, there is no such thing as giving you money for nothing in this world."

When Wang Zhenfu heard this, he no longer cared about his face, "thumped" and knelt down on the ground, gritted his teeth, and slapped himself on the face: "Damn me!" After saying that, he slapped his left hand again. He didn't care, and slapped hard, and the fingerprints on his face suddenly appeared.

"Haha..." Meng Chang laughed loudly, "Good fight!"

Shamed and annoyed, Wang Zhenfu slapped himself again, and said with a smile, "Duke Qin and Madam are satisfied? If you are not satisfied, the next official will continue to slap you until you are satisfied!"
