The rise of the poor

Chapter 1282 Zhu Zhizhi's Loyalty Licks Dogs

When Wang Meng, Peng Cheng, Taiping county magistrate and others learned from shopkeeper Yang that Zhu Pingan asked them if they would like to donate, they were so excited beyond words. Why donate money for the disaster victims? This is asking for bribes in disguise!
record!This is the point!Zhang Wenbo excitedly reminded the accompanying clerks to make good records, to record the words just now and the subsequent questioning, and ask shopkeeper Yang's signature to be pressed later. This is Zhu Ping's incriminating evidence
"And then?! Keep talking!" Wang Meng looked excited, and couldn't wait to urge Shopkeeper Yang to continue talking.

"After the county lord asked, I expressed my willingness on the spot, and then the county lord took out a donation book, I signed and pressed my fingerprint on it, and then donated 500 taels of silver." Shopkeeper Yang continued.

Two thousand five hundred taels!
Wang Meng became even more excited when he heard the words. Zhu Pingan demanded a bribe of 500 taels of silver just from shopkeeper Yang alone!

My dynasty's "Law of the Great Ming Dynasty" has clear regulations on corruption: 40 punctures for guarding against self-stealing; Add one class, and you will not be punished with a financial rod; private use of people's power, 80 cane for one person, 120 rod for crime stop.

After Taizu promulgated the "Law of the Ming Dynasty", it was strictly forbidden for future generations to revise it.Although, due to actual needs, many corruption situations that were not stipulated in the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" have been added in the past dynasties, and the sentencing has also been reduced. Distributed to the army.

However, just relying on the stolen money of two thousand and five hundred taels of silver, he, Zhu Ping'an, is doomed!Even if you don't die, you have to be dispatched to the army!

In addition, this is just a grain store. As for other grain stores, it can be imagined that the amount of corruption by Zhu Pingan must be a huge number.Even if it is not like the 8 taels impeached by Liu Wannian, there must be 6 to [-] taels!
If this amount is found out and reported to the Holy Majesty, the Holy Majesty will be furious, and Zhu Ping'an will definitely die!
"Do you know whether Zhu Ping'an asked other grain merchants for bribes, which is what you call donations?"

The more Wang Meng thought about it, the more excited he became, and he looked at shopkeeper Yang with burning eyes and continued to ask.

"Yes. All the grain merchants in this county, big and small, have been asked by the county magistrate if they are willing to donate money to the victims of the Jingnan disaster. The county magistrate will also send people to ask the grain merchants who come to Jingnan from other places if they are willing to donate to the victims. payment."

Yang Zhangui nodded and replied in a straightforward manner.

Hearing this, Wang Meng, Peng Cheng, Zhang Wenbo, the magistrate of Taiping and others blushed with excitement, as if they had drunk a catty of old wine.Zhu Ping'an's appetite is so big, and he is also so courageous that no grain merchant, big or small, will let him go!Really excellent!Hahaha, Zhu Ping'an is doomed this time, even the gods can't save him!

"What? There are no exceptions for big and small grain merchants?! For grain merchants from other places, Zhu Ping'an will take the initiative to send someone to ask?!"

When Xu Hai heard this, he couldn't help but speak out in anger.

"Yes. There are no exceptions. Even if there are grain merchants from other places who forget to donate, the county will send messengers to ask." Shopkeeper Yang replied.

"Do you know how much money you have donated?" Wang Meng continued to ask, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

"Don't dare to lie to you adults. Our grain merchants are consciously divided into three grades: large, medium, and small according to their scale and strength. Those who belong to small-scale grain merchants will donate 800 taels of silver; those who belong to mid-range grain merchants will donate 500 taels Silver donations; large grain merchants like me donated 500 taels of silver. There are 38 local grain merchants in this county, and they donated a total of 4 taels of silver. After the news spread, many foreign grain merchants came. As of today, there are 6 foreign grain merchants. They all donated according to our agreed amount. They donated a total of 53 taels of silver. Of course, If you are willing to donate more, the county official will not refuse. I donated 6 taels of silver for the first time, and ten days ago I realized that the county government donated 3 taels of silver more."

Shopkeeper Yang replied truthfully.

nonsense!It's no wonder that Zhu Pingan can refuse!Who would think that money is too much!Wang Meng and others scoffed!

Afterwards, everyone couldn't help but gasped. In this way, didn't Zhu Ping'an corrupt more than [-] taels of silver!More than one hundred thousand taels!He, Zhu Ping'an, has a big appetite, and he is not afraid of bursting his belly!

One million taels!

This can be regarded as a rare giant greed in this dynasty!

I didn't expect, I didn't expect that Zhu Pingan would be so bold at such a young age!So insatiable!Less than half a year after taking office, he has embezzled more than [-] taels of silver!As expected of the youngest number one scholar in my dynasty, with his skill and courage, he can stand shoulder to shoulder with Lord Yan Xiaoxiang!Bah, bah, bah, what am I thinking, how could Mr. Yan Xiaoxiang be corrupt!Wang Meng shook his head, Zhu Ping'an deserves to be compared with Lord Yan Xiaoxiang!

After hearing the number reported by shopkeeper Yang, Xu Hai's face turned darker, as black as the bottom of a pot, and his hands shook in anger.

"Oh, by the way, after you donated 500 taels, why did you consciously donate an extra 1000 taels of silver?"

Zhang Wenbo asked curiously.

"In order to encourage us to donate to good deeds, the county lord wrote three plaques of 'Charitable merchants and good merchants'. The three grain merchants who donated the most money can hang the plaques written by the county lord. Cough cough. It's a small A plaque hanging outside the store door.”

Shopkeeper Yang replied with some embarrassment that he donated an extra 1000 taels to get this plaque.

In order to earn more money, Zhu Ping'an really did a lot of tricks!With so many minds, why don't you be on the right path!

Xu Hai's face turned even darker!
"A plaque is worth it to you." Zhang Wenbo sneered at shopkeeper Yang, he really is Zhu Ping'an's licking dog!

"Ahem, I dare not lie to my lords. The common people recognize our county honor, and whoever hangs this plaque, the common people are willing to go to that household to buy grain. Whoever hangs this plaque, whose grain will not worry about sales."

Shopkeeper Yang lowered his head and replied.

These foolish people!Zhu Ping'an is so greedy, they still recognize Zhu Ping'an? !What a bitch!
When Wang Meng and others heard this, they couldn't help but sneer at the people in Jingnan, they are really a bunch of stupid bastards!
The clerk quickly wrote a transcript of the interrogation, which was verified by Wang Meng and others, and he ordered shopkeeper Yang to sign and mark it.

"No, this is different from what I said." Shopkeeper Yang read the transcript and said with a bitter face.

Wang Meng looked worried, "What's wrong?!"

"The county lord is asking us if we are willing to donate money, not asking for bribes; also, we are making donations, not offering bribes."

Shopkeeper Yang said with a mournful face.

"Oh!? Are you still trying to argue for Zhu Ping'an?! What kind of bullshit donation is just asking for bribes in disguise. Don't worry, this is Zhu Ping'an's asking for bribes, and you are barely victims. In addition, you confessed and exposed today. If you have meritorious service, this official can guarantee your innocence. Hurry up and sign it!"

Wang Meng sneered, and said impatiently to Shopkeeper Yang.

"No." Shopkeeper Yang was about to cry, with a brush in his hand, and he didn't sign for a long time, "It's really a donation! It's not about asking for bribes! Cao Min dare not lie in front of the officials of Dongchang even if he has a few brains."

Yo huh? !Didn't expect you to be so loyal to Zhu Ping'an? !
Wang Meng and the others couldn't help being startled.

"Is your family in Zhu Ping'an's hands?" Wang Meng asked with a frown.

"No." Shopkeeper Yang shook his head.

"Then you have something in Zhu Ping'an's hands?" Wang Meng frowned and asked again.

"No." Shopkeeper Yang burst into tears when he heard the words, "None. My lord, the Caomin is not trying to argue for the magistrate, but just dare not lie. Your lords are on business under the emperor's order, how dare the Caomin do it in front of your lords?" Especially lying in front of the officials of Dongchang, that is the crime of bullying the nine clans. This matter will be found out as soon as this matter is investigated, how dare the grass people lie, my lord, the grass people are telling the truth, it is really a donation!"

"I have guaranteed your innocence, but you still don't know how to flatter you?!" Wang Meng couldn't help being furious.

"It's really a donation. If you don't believe me, you can go to the county government office and see it." Shopkeeper Yang kowtowed like garlic, and stretched out his hand to point in the direction of the county government office.
