Chapter 568: Don’t Beep if You Can Do It
Pu Jiu was very cautious when he first arrived in Bianliang. As an outsider, he needs to stay dormant and slowly observe this most beautiful city in the world.
Gradually, he used money to make many friends, including powerful people who could protect him.
With power, he felt that he was the master of this city.
This is how people are, when they are supreme in a certain field or a small group, they will swell and feel invincible.
Pu Jiu is such a person.
He looked at the young man outside and said calmly: "Many people call Mr. Pu... Also, whoever can let him lie on this door will get a hundred punches!"
This is 'stand up and go out'.
There were their entourages outside the door. Before Pu Jiu finished speaking, there were sounds of fighting on both sides of the door.
In an instant, all the sounds converged and turned into screams.
"One hundred strings?"
Shen An walked in, and the two men were a little shocked.
"One hundred strings is a little short."
Pu Jiu's eyes turned, and when he saw that the two men looked wrong, he smiled and said: "A certain Pu Jiu, I don't know how noble..."
The first skill of a businessman is to adapt to the changing circumstances... This is a required course.
Shen An said to the two men: "Officials?"
The two men nodded stiffly, and Shen An smiled and said, "Should I go to the Imperial City Division by myself, or would someone from the Imperial City Division break in later?"
"go alone."
The two officials did not dare to show off their anger in front of Shen An, and this was all because of the red coral tree on the table.
The bribery was discovered on the spot, and the matter had no way to end.
Shen An picked up the coral tree, looked at it carefully, and said, "Chen Luo."
Chen Luo came in from outside. Shen An handed the coral tree to him and said, "Take it home."
This is blatantly taking people's property, but Pu Jiu said with a smile on his face at this moment: "Little Pu Jiu, if the nobles like this, look back... When Pu Jiu brings goods to those nobles next year, he will naturally bring an extra portion ."
There was a certain reserve in these words: I know the powerful and have interests entangled with them. If you are interested, then take this coral tree and leave.
Shen An smiled and asked, "I heard that you know about shipbuilding?"
Pu Jiu's eyes became colder and he said, "Yes."
Shipbuilding is his specialty, a skill passed down from his ancestors.
It was by relying on this ability that he could peacefully coexist with those large merchants and use them to earn this family business.
So he won't teach this skill to others.
"Someone approached Xiao Xiao and said he wanted to build a boat, but Xiao Xiao was not willing."
This is a polite refusal: You don’t want me to build a boat for you.
"Can Da Song not invite you?"
Pu Jiu smiled and said, "Younger ones don't have this ability."
I just don't like it, why?
The officials of the Song Dynasty were docile, and Pu Jiu had long been accustomed to this style.
As long as the powerful people behind him are there, the official will not be able to embarrass him.
Otherwise, the money you spend every year is worse than feeding the dogs!
"Take him!"
Shen An turned around and went out. Chen Luo came over with a cruel smile and grabbed Pu Jiu's shirt with his big hand.
Pu Jiu said in shock: "I know many people, people you can't afford to offend."
Chen Luo pushed him to the ground, gagged him first, then tied him up, stuffed him into a cloth bag, and then carried him out like this.
All the way to the camp in Shenjiazhuang outside the city, the cloth bag was opened, and Pu Jiu opened his eyes. The long-lost light made him turn his head to avoid the light.
"Mr. Lang, do you want a confession?"
Huang Chun likes torture very much. He even thinks that torture is a fascinating career that is worth studying.
"He can build ships, and his men should also be good at shipbuilding. The Song Dynasty wants to build ships..."
Huang Chun was happy when he heard this, "Don't worry, Mr. Lang, I guarantee that the villain will let him speak right away."
Shen An nodded and said, "Okay."
It is a good thing for his subordinates to have confidence, and Shen An is ready to sit back and watch.
"Mr. Lang..."
Huang Chun said with some confusion: "The villain's methods... are a bit scary."
Shen An sneered and said, "Just come."
How much torture has Brother witnessed through various media in later generations?
If you have the ability, just break the rules, or try to be a wise man.
Seeing that he was displeased, Huang Chun smiled dryly and said, "The villain will start now."
"The villain would like to say..."
At this time, Pu Jiu suddenly softened, but Shen An didn't say anything, so Huang Chun would naturally continue to prepare.
A small clay oven was brought in shortly, and the charcoal fire inside was burning hot.
Shen An frowned and said, "Where to bake?"
Huang Chun chuckled and said, "Of course it's the key."
"The villain is willing to build a ship for the Song Dynasty. As long as it is ten thousand guan, the villain is willing to build the most outstanding ship for the Song Dynasty..."
"Five thousand strings..."
"One thousand strings..."
"The villain is willing to die for the Song Dynasty."
Pujiu was immobilized, with the small clay stove placed between his legs.
"Mr. Lang, do you want it medium rare or well done?"
Shen An said calmly: "Ordinary dogs don't eat half-cooked food, they should be fully cooked."
"Spare your life! Long live your majesty, long live the Song Dynasty, I am willing not to leave Bianliang for the rest of my life..."
The charcoal fire is slightly blue, but the temperature is high.
The burning feeling made Pu Jiu go crazy. He twisted his body as hard as he could, but the burning heat was still there.
At this moment, all his so-called reserve was gone.
"If the punishment is not given, I am afraid that this person will hold back and even harm the Song Dynasty. He is very familiar with it! Send him to the palace to serve your majesty."
Shen An turned around and prepared to go out.
"What does it smell like?"
The burning smell was terrible, and it was getting stronger and stronger.
Pu Jiu's eyes widened in despair and shouted: "If this villain dares to spare a hand, his whole family will die!"
Shen An turned around and said calmly: "You said you won't leave the Song Dynasty?"
"Yes, the villain swears that he will be the slave of the Song Dynasty for the rest of his life. No, the villain will be the slave of the nobleman for the rest of his life."
"Very good. This is a very good start. I am very satisfied."
Shen An nodded, someone removed the small clay stove, and Pu Jiu grinned and inhaled.
"The Song Dynasty will build ships, many ships. Those ships must be strong and durable, capable of long voyages, and able to withstand wind and waves..."
He stared at Pu Jiu, "The Song Dynasty needs your loyalty. As long as you can be loyal to the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty will be your home from now on, and Shen will be your backstage!"
Pu Jiu was untied, and he knelt on the ground and gasped: "The villain must... The villain swears to be the slave of the noble forever."
Shen An smiled: "That's great. There will be people building the ship with you during the period. If you think you can hide it from them, then you can do something dirty. Shen will personally serve you when the time comes."
He turned around and went out, and Pu Jiu suddenly asked: "Who is the noble man?"
"A certain Shen An."
"Shen An?"
Pu Jiu cried; "It turned out to be him..."
If it were other officials, Pu Jiu's previous attitude was not wrong at all, and everyone just needs to be reasonable.
But this is Shen An!
Shen An's hands-on ability is widely spread in Bianliang, and it is rumored that he hates evil as much as he hates it. This time he came forward to seek shipbuilding craftsmen for the Song Dynasty. Anyone who dared to object would probably be in trouble.
Shen An met the chamberlain before leaving the camp.
"The official will let you enter the palace."
When he saw Zhao Zhen, Wang Anshi was also there, and the atmosphere was not quite right.
When Zhao Zhen saw him coming, he looked at Chen Zhongheng.
Chen Zhongheng glanced at Shen An, somewhat gloating about his misfortune.
Damn it!
Did I make a mistake?
Shen An thought about it and felt that he had been quite honest recently and had not done anything with anyone. It was the most honest period of his life. Why did he come to the door with something?
"News from the Hangzhou Shipping Department, Feng Jin has been captured."
What rice?
Shen An said in disbelief: "Who took it?"
Chen Zhongheng said: "After Chen Ang interrogated the people from the Shipping Department, no evidence of Feng Jin's corruption was found. This matter is considered over."
This is true, Hangzhou is a big state, and Feng Jin, the governor of the state, cannot be touched lightly.
"Feng Jin himself felt that nothing was wrong. He even went to the Shipping Department to check a few times and chatted and laughed with Wang Yu and others..."
It's going to end!
Shen An began to feel sad for Feng Jin.
"Are you sure Wang Yu is chatting and laughing with him?"
Chen Zhongheng coughed dryly and said, "This matter was reported from Hangzhou, and the Imperial City Department also confirmed it."
Shen An nodded, feeling that Feng Jin's death was not unjust.
Who is Wang Yu?
He boasts that he is the smartest in the world, but he is a mediocre person.
Such a person, that is, only if Shen An can shock him with the knowledge system of later generations, can we get along with each other as equals.
You, Feng Jin, are just an official. What are you talking about? Do you know that in Wang Yu's eyes, most emperors are idiots.
Will he chat and laugh with you?
I'm afraid you have to open your eyes even when you sleep.
That guy must be preparing to dig a hole to bury you, so he talks and laughs with you, hoping to make you relax your vigilance.
"Three days later, Wang Yu first had the steward of Feng Jin's house quietly taken away."
Damn it!
This is taboo!
Shen An just wants to hit the wall now.
This kind of thing can be done or not said. If it is discovered, it will be a handle.
That young man was still too conceited and made such a big mistake.
"Feng Jin's manager was having an affair with a woman and was caught on the spot...The woman subsequently disappeared."
Shen An breathed a sigh of relief and said sanctimoniously: "Shameless!"
He was scolding the steward for being shameless, and Chen Zhongheng and Zhao Zhen's eyelids twitched.
This matter is definitely a pit, a big pit Wang Yu dug for the steward.
That woman is definitely not a good bird, she should be a prostitute who was bought by Wang Yu with money.
Under such a trap, it would be strange for the steward not to take the bait.
"The steward was caught on the spot and told some things about Feng Jin. Then Wang Yu encouraged Chen Ang to go to the government office..."
This was striking while the iron was hot, and UU Reading www.uukanshu.net did not give Feng Jin time to prepare.
"In front of all the officials of the government office, Wang Yu personally read out the confession of the steward, and then took people to check... the evidence... was conclusive."
Zhao Zhen said with a straight face: "He first paralyzed Feng Jin, then set a trap to catch Feng Jin's steward, and finally found Feng Jin."
Step by step, not impatient, very steady.
The means are not very good, but the purpose is correct, so no one can blame him.
As for you saying that digging holes is not good... But these days, everything depends on the results. Who cares about the process?
Wang Yu must have been planning to cause trouble since he set off from the capital, and Feng Jin was naturally one of his targets.
Feng Jin died unjustly!
