The Record of Righteousness

Chapter 63 Using public power for personal gain

But back to Wanqing.

Since he was promoted to a hundred households, Wanqing was immediately overjoyed.

Wearing a standard armor that belongs to hundreds of households, wearing a helmet and soap boots.

At first glance, he looked majestic, but there was a coldness between his brows that lingered for a long time.

As for Leng Tiancun, he was naturally very excited after receiving the news that he was going to serve as Xiaoqi.

He was originally a grassroots figure in the martial arts world, but now he was eating royal food and became a minor official.

Even though his monthly salary is not much, he still has some power in his hands.

But there is a saying in this world that "power can make money".

Therefore, his attitude towards Eunuch Wan is much more respectful and attentive than before.

Under Wan Qing's guidance, Leng Tiancun finally woke up.

Just by tapping those merchants in the capital who have no background but are quite wealthy, you can squeeze out a lot of money every month.

Although at least half of the money and water must be given to the superiors, the rest is enough for them to enjoy themselves.

This is much easier than the hard work he used to do as a escort escort.

And there is no need to worry about being killed by bandits one day.

In addition, everyone around him was polite to him.

Some people even came to fawn over him. Even when he went to a restaurant to have a meal or to visit a brothel, his subordinates would rush to pay the bill.

Leng Tiancun understands that this is the benefit that power brings.

At this time, outside an atmospheric courtyard,

I saw two people wearing Dongchang's standard decorations, wearing helmets on their heads, and two standard double swords at their waists, riding majestically on tall horses.

There are more than 20 people from Dongchang under his command who have blocked the north and south intersections, making it impossible for them to pass through.

Pedestrians around them all avoided it, and when they saw this group of people from a distance, they didn't dare to go forward, but took a detour.

One of the Xiaoqi riding horses was naturally Leng Tiancun.

I saw him holding a horsewhip and pointing at that house, smiling and saying cheerfully to the little flag next to him:

"Brother Lu, I think this rich family can make a thousand taels of silver today."

Lu Jianxing frowned and said sincerely:

"Brother Leng doesn't know something. A businessman like this without a backing doesn't have a lot of money. Moreover, the Li family has been blackmailed by us more than once. We must not force him to jump over the wall. I must know the principle of fishing with all the benefits."

The Li family moved to the capital recently.

I heard that his hometown is in Shandong. Because Shandong has been uneasy recently, he and his family moved to the capital due to banditry.

Because he has just arrived, he naturally has no background, but his family property must be rich and he can be called a big fat sheep.

Leng Tiancun smiled and said submissively:

"What Brother Lu said makes sense. I'm just impatient. But such a humble businessman has such a rich family fortune. How can he not make people jealous?"

But he sneered repeatedly in his heart. This Lu Jianxing was really as stupid as the people below said.

Lu Jianxing was born in Jinyiwei. In his early years, he offended a Qianhu member of Jinyiwei, so he was transferred to Dongchang and demoted.

This person is extremely legalistic.

He just saves his salary day after day, month after month, and still hopes to save a few thousand taels of silver to buy a place in a hundred households.

But Xiaoqi's little salary won't be enough even if he saves it for the whole year of the monkey.

Nowadays, there is such a good opportunity to make a lot of money, but I still don't know how to adapt.

You deserve to be Wannian Xiaoqi, Leng Tiancun thought secretly.

Immediately he waved his hand and said:

"Brothers, surround this mansion! Don't let out a single fly!"

"yes!"

The group of fans immediately accepted the order, and they were very agile. After all, this was not the first time they had done this.

They were already familiar with the road, and in a short time they blocked all the doors of the Li family's house.

Another group of subordinates, surrounded by Leng and Lu, filed in.

All the gangsters, like wolves and tigers, arrogantly and domineeringly punched and kicked the old concierge and many servants aside, clearing the way for them.

Then Leng Tiancuncai rode on a tall horse and shouted:

"Head of the Li family, come out immediately. I have something to ask!"

The master of the Li family finally arrived late and staggered out of the main room.

Seeing so many fans, all of whom were at war with each other, I suddenly felt a chill in my heart.

With the help of two servants, he managed to stand upright, ran to Leng Tiancun, saluted, and said with a panicked face:

"The little old man didn't know that the official was coming, so I missed my welcome from afar. I apologize for my sin!"

Leng Tiancun looked down at the panicked Master Li, feeling proud in his heart.

He directly said the clichés he had memorized in advance:

"Don't be polite to me. Let me tell you what I want to say. Three days ago, thieves from Shandong broke into the capital and committed evil crimes. They killed several people. These people have been wanted by the government for a long time."

"I would like to ask you, what were you doing three days ago? Tell me everything."

Mr. Li was stunned after hearing this, and immediately began to try hard to recall what he had done three days ago. After thinking for a long time, he really couldn't think of what he had done.

In the end, he guessed that these two people were here to blackmail him again, and finally said:

"I have been aging for decades. I stayed at home three days ago and never went anywhere else."

Then he changed the topic, looked at Lu Jianxing, and then at Leng Tiancun. He felt certain in his mind and said with a smile:

"You two have worked for the court for a long time and have worked hard. Please come to my hall to have a chat, how about that?"

This was said very implicitly, but Leng and Lu both understood the meaning:

There are many people here, I will give you a little hard work fee in private.

Lu Jianxing thought about it and got off the horse expressionlessly.

But Leng Tiancun scolded:

"You little commoner, you still dare to be stubborn now. This official suspects that you are hiding a prisoner and are suspected of murder. Come on, arrest this person! Throw him into the prison for strict interrogation."

"Yes!"

A group of foreigners were eager to fight, and they were very happy.

They were waiting for this moment. The Li family was a big fat sheep, and now there was finally an adult who dared to take them as (extortion).

Instantly, the master of the Li family was tied up.

"Sir! I am innocent, I am innocent!"

"I really didn't leave my house three days ago, sir, you are wise!"

Mr. Li was immediately confused and knelt on the ground and cried out for injustice.

In his opinion, these people came here just to extort money again. It was just a few hundred taels of silver, and it was gone.

Although it was painful, he was willing to spend money to buy peace.

Now the situation has changed suddenly, and he is going to be thrown into prison directly. If he goes in, it will be difficult to get out!

Physical pain is inevitable.
