Chapter 302 Copy Zhang Siwei

Chapter 302 Copying Zhang Siwei

After Zhang Siwei returned to his hometown, not many people came to greet him because of his bad reputation. Only Wang Chonggu waited for him by an abandoned pagoda next to an official road outside Puzhou City.

"uncle!"

The grass is luxuriant, and the spring breeze kisses green.

The white-haired Zhang Siwei saluted after seeing Wang Chonggu.

Wang Chonggu helped him up and said with a smile: "You are finally back."

Zhang Siwei showed a lonely face and said: "It's not as good as my uncle's success and retirement, and my nephew came back in frustration!"

"When there is a conflict between righteousness and profit, not everyone can uphold the righteousness, as long as they can come back."

Wang Chonggu said.

Zhang Siwei nodded: "Uncle said yes."

Then, Zhang Siwei said: "If my nephew hadn't been in court, my uncle might be able to be the Privy Council's Taibao now as an official."

Wang Chonggu smiled slightly: "The ministers of the Holy Dynasty are like a cloud, what is the old man's plan?"

As he said that, Wang Chonggu said: "It's you, no matter what comes next is a disaster or a blessing, you must accept it calmly!"

Zhang Siwei nodded and sighed: "That's all I can do. My nephew still underestimated Jiang Ling's knowledge, and underestimated the majesty he trained. No matter what the result is, it's my nephew's own fault."

"Xu Huating's family was ruined, not Zhang Jiangling! I didn't expect it!"

"However, things in the world sometimes do not play out according to common sense."

"Each generation of kings has the destiny of each generation of kings, just like the Shimiao, Yang Xindu (Yang Tinghe) may not have thought that the father he chose would be such a smart father!"

"No matter what, thunder, rain, and dew are all due to your grace; people like you and me are not rascals after all, no matter what, we can't do things that violate the rules and ethics!"

Wang Chonggu spoke again, then looked at Zhang Siwei, and said with a smile: "Hurry up and go back to see your father!"

Zhang Siwei immediately showed sadness, and then bid farewell to Wang Chonggu, then went home first, cried in front of his father's spirit, and then met relatives and friends after changing clothes, and saw his brother Zhang Sijiao was still alive In the future, I will ask my son Zhang Jiazheng in a deep voice:

"Where's your second uncle?"

Zhang Jiazheng replied: "Second Uncle hasn't come back yet, he should still be on his way back!"

Zhang Siwei's expression darkened after hearing this, and he ordered, "Come and tell me as soon as he comes back!"

Zhang Jiazheng bowed his hands and said yes.

And that night, when Zhang Siwei's father was put into the coffin, Zhang Siwei had just finished guarding the coffin and glanced at his father. His student, Yin Chang, the former left servant of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, came to see him and said, "Master, these days , my disciple has been asking me about something."

Zhang Siwei nodded after listening: "Ask!"

"Why does the master attach so much importance to self-interest?"

Yin Chang suddenly asked directly.

Zhang Siwei immediately raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Are you asking me for Shenwu County?"

Yin Chang immediately knelt on the ground: "Master, calm down! The disciple is naturally not appointed by others; but if the master is not a person who values ​​self-interest, then he can only do what they say, you are a person who sees righteousness and cherishes life! Therefore, Make you not plant relatives, not reprimand traitors, and not admonish your father!"

Zhang Siwei grinned and looked at Yin Chang: "Why do you have to force each other so hard?! You might as well kill me directly!"

"Master, why do you say that?!"

"Although, no matter what, the emperor will still use scholars, but why didn't the teacher do this when things changed with the trend, and now let the southerners rule the country!"

Yin Chang said with a sneer.

"Then what are you going to do as a teacher?"

"Could it be that you also learn from Zhang Jiangling and only make straw mats that make people in the world sleep peacefully, even if the straw mats can no longer be used in the future, they will be burned for firewood?!"

"Even if I do this, is there still that chance?!"

Zhang Siwei gritted his teeth and continued, and then said:

"We are different from Shen and Wang!"

"Their industry is a workshop, and we are a dental bank! They can continue to restructure in the future, even if they increase business taxes to benefit small farmers, they can accept it. The method is nothing more than improving their skills, or making small profits but quick turnover; but we It’s just a toothless person, every point of official profit, we will lose one point!”

"It's not that you don't understand!"

Then, Zhang Siwei asked Yin Chang again: "Even if my Zhang family is willing, are you all willing? Do you also understand it as a teacher?!"

Yin Chang did not continue to say anything after hearing this.

At this time, Zhang Jiazheng ran over: "Father! The second uncle is back! But him."

"What's up with him?"

Zhang Siwei hurriedly asked.

At this time, Zhang Jiazheng looked back.

Zhang Siwei also looked over, and sure enough, he saw that Zhang Sijiao had walked in at this time, but he was wearing prison clothes, wearing a pair of shackles, as thin as a stick, and looked much haggard.

Zhang Siwei was stunned when he saw this scene.

Zhang Sijiao walked towards his father's spirit, and immediately knelt on the ground, crying: "Father, my son is not filial and cannot guard the family with virtue! Woohoo!"

"There is a purpose!"

After Zhang Sijiao finished crying, the eunuch Chen Zheng, the supervisor of ceremonies, took out the imperial decree and shouted.

Zhang Siwei came back to his senses and knelt on the ground.

His student Yin Chang and others who came to the Zhang Mansion to pay respects also knelt down in amazement.

Zhang Sijiao then turned around.

"The imperial edict said: Taifu Zhang Siwei failed my kindness, secretly harbored different ambitions, and conspired to frame my former teacher Gu Ming, who wanted to trap me into injustice, indulged his children to pervert the law, and used the barbarians to steal salt and money... Even if there is an amnesty first, but The crimes committed are still unforgivable, and it is unforgivable for a while, so the officials and titles were given away, and the imperial school was sent to arrest me and the whole family to Beijing, to be tried and listened to, and the family property was not recovered, hereby!"

After Chen Zheng finished reading the decree, he looked at Zhang Siwei: "Your Majesty has a special decree. We will announce this decree after you see your father and your father is buried in the coffin. That's why we delayed coming here until now. Please accept the decree." !"

Zhang Siwei replied feebly after a long while: "The sinful minister took the decree! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your benevolence like heaven, and all ministers are filial!"

So, Zhang Siwei took the order, and then glanced at Zhang Sijiao.

"copy!"

At this time, Jinyiwei hall official Zhai Rujing also waved his hand immediately, and immediately, a large number of Jinyiwei school captains rushed in with open fire, and confiscated Zhang Siwei's house in Nuoda in a row of five steps and ten steps.

At the same time, Wang Zhuan, the left servant of the Ministry of Punishments, also ordered: "All the upper and lower members of the population will be detained in the empty room first! Non-family relatives and friends can only leave after registration, and the upper and lower members of the family will wait to be locked up and taken to Beijing!"

After Wang Zhuan finished speaking, the sergeants of the Ministry of Punishment immediately came and began to detain Zhang Jiazheng, the son of Zhang Siwei, and shouted, "Let's go!"

"Presumptuous, what are you doing?!"

Zhang Jiazheng was very surprised, and hurriedly asked Zhang Siwei: "Father, what is going on?! Didn't it mean that the only ones whose homes were ransacked were Huating or Jiangling?"

Zhang Siwei didn't answer.

Gao Weisong, who was in charge of the supervision of the criminal department, also came to Zhang Siwei at this time: "You always hand over the roster of the aristocratic family and the roster of the family, so that I can almost name them!"

Zhang Siwei nodded, and went to get the roster himself, holding it with trembling hands, and then gave it to Gao Weisong: "My cousins ​​don't know about the offender's family affairs, please forgive me and let them leave as soon as possible, so as not to be frightened."

Gao Weisong nodded: "Don't worry!"

And then, Gao Weisong yelled at the screaming female family members and the anxious male guests: "Don't panic, I'm going to call my name, anyone who is not from this clan can leave!"

Here, Zhang Siwei walked towards Zhang Sijiao who was not detained because he was already a prisoner, and asked, "What's going on?"

"Brother Sui went to jail last year!"

"Not in Yangzhou."

"In addition, I also recruited everything, including the matter of you asking my brother to arrange people to criticize Jiangling, and the matter of accepting bribes to make Qiu Xiao prepare to copy Jiangling's family's dispatch, and borrowing money to seek officials to collect money in order to copy Jiangling and share the spoils, and selling The matter of giving salt to the northern captives."

Zhang Sijiao replied in a deep voice at this time.

Zhang Siwei froze in place after hearing this.

"why?!"

"Why did you recruit all of this?"

"It's not that you don't know, what will be the consequences of letting His Majesty know?!"

Zhang Siwei gritted his teeth and asked.

Zhang Sijiao hurriedly replied: "One is that they don't hate me, but you!"

"Secondly, you and I are brothers, we are all prosperous, we are both prosperous and we are all damaged. Since they have found out my brother's crime, how can you be alone, brother!"

"Third, why should I have to bear all these sins alone? Over the years, most of the profits from my business have been earned by your first wife. The hard work is ours, but in the end, how can everything be carried by my second wife?!"
