I'm Joining This Deal

The servant led Officer Zhang to a private room on the second floor.

He knocked lightly on the door. After hearing someone answer, the servant slowly pushed the door open.

Then, he bowed and said to Officer Zhang,""Third Master, this one will take his leave.”

Official Zhang took out a silver melon seed from his sleeve and threw it to the servant. He said coldly,""Keep your mouth shut, Master."

The servant took the silver melon seeds and immediately smiled apologetically."If Third Master hears any rumors about this matter, regardless of whether it came from my mouth or not, you can throw me into the Qinhuai River to feed the fish.”

Snakes had their ways, and rats had their ways.

These small fries naturally had their own way of survival.

They also knew that these high and mighty nobles had ways to shut them up.

Therefore, what the other party wanted was not an oath, but an attitude.

As expected.

Official Zhang was very satisfied with this explanation.

After nodding slightly, he said,"Alright, you may leave."”

As she spoke, she entered the private room.

In the private room, a man with a hideous scar on his face was drinking by himself.

After seeing Official Zhang enter, the man sneered,""Haven't you officials always avoided us Embroidered Uniform Guards like snakes and scorpions?! Usually only we come to find you, why did you specially find someone to invite me here to drink wine?! Aren't you afraid that this official will turn against you after drinking the wine and ask Third Elder Wen to accompany this official to Zhao Prison?!”

Hearing the man's words, Officer Zhang did not show any panic on his face.

He first closed the door of the private room tightly before walking to the table and sitting down.

After a burst of laughter, he said,"This lowly official has a humble position. This lowly official cannot afford the title of 'Third Master.'" This lowly official was entrusted by Old Master Li of Shangyuan to have some confidential matters to ask of Lord Qianhu…"

As he spoke, he took out a stack of Great Ming Treasure Notes from his sleeve and pushed it in front of the scarred man. He continued,"It's just a small token of my respect."

The scarred man glanced at the stack of Great Ming Treasure Notes and estimated that there were more than a thousand strings.

His ferocious face also became much gentler at this time.

The Ming Treasure Notes were notes issued during the Hongwu period.

Because our country lacked precious metal raw materials, both copper and gold and silver had been scarce since ancient times.

After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, in order to alleviate the economic crisis caused by the shortage of currency, the imperial court issued the Ming Treasure Notes.

However, the Zhu family knew almost nothing about the financial industry.

Therefore, the purchasing power of the Great Ming Treasure Notes was still good at the beginning of the issue, but over time, due to indiscriminate distribution and other reasons, the Great Ming Treasure Notes had seriously depreciated.

However, in the 15th year of Hongwu, the purchasing power of the Ming Treasure Notes was still considerable.

Two strings of Ming Treasure Notes were equivalent to a copper coin, which was one tael of silver.

Thus, how could this scarred man not be moved by the 500 Snowflake Silver that Official Zhang offered?!

He kept the stack of Great Ming Treasure Notes into his sleeve without batting an eyelid and said lightly,""Since Old Master Li has something to ask of me, then even if this official has to go through fire and water, I will not refuse. Third Master, tell me, what is the secret matter?!”

" This subordinate is reporting the matter of Ye Jin, the county magistrate of Shangyuan County. This official has set up a private torture chamber, treated human lives with contempt, privately collected business taxes, harbored fugitives, colluded with the evil cult to plot a rebellion, and occupied the land of the common people…The crimes are too numerous to record, not killing is not enough to appease the anger of the people of Shangyuan. However, this official has great power in the court. I have no way to appeal to him. I can only seek help from Lord Qianhu. Please seek justice for me and the people of Shangyuan.”

The scarred man narrowed his eyes.

He didn't believe a single word that Official Zhang said.

The reason was simple.

He didn't know what kind of person Official Zhang was, but he knew very well what kind of person that so-called 'Old Master Li' was.

An official who could make these corrupt officials, local tyrants, and evil gentry hate him so much should be a rare clean official.

But what did it have to do with him?!

Therefore, the scarred man asked calmly,""Since this official has committed such a heinous crime, why are you all sitting idly by?! Shangyuan County wasn't a remote county where the county magistrate could control everything with one hand. Moreover, Old Master Li was that person's relative…Although that person had retired, wasn't it as simple as crushing an ant to kill a county magistrate who had done evil?!”

"Sir Qian Hu should know better than me what the situation is now, right?" Official Zhang smiled.! Furthermore, as I said just now, this official has some power in the court, so I have no way to appeal. Four months ago, there was a fire in Shangyuan County Yamen. You should know about it, right?!”

The scarred man nodded and said," I've heard of it. He burned more than ten petty officials to death in one go. Tsk tsk, you scholars are still the most ruthless. You killed more than ten people just like that." However, didn't they say that these petty officials were guilty of heinous crimes and had committed crimes that deserved to die?! Moreover, with the witnesses and evidence gathered, even if they went to the throne room, they wouldn't be able to overturn the case.!”

Officer Zhang was speechless.

Are you standing over there?

If you have such a sense of justice, why don't you become the main character's underling?

"Cough cough…" Official Zhang coughed lightly and continued,""Even if those petty officials have committed heinous crimes, they should still be handed over to the relevant authorities for trial. How can a mere county magistrate kill them as he pleases?!”

The knife-scarred man was already a little impatient. He waved his hand and said,"Since that county magistrate is quite powerful in the court, do you think that I, a small Jinyiwei Thousand Households, can defeat him?!”

He already knew the reason for this gift.

However, he was not a fool.

He knew that the other party was powerful, but he still wanted to fight them head-on?!

Money was indeed a good thing, but one had to be alive to spend it.

Although the Embroidered Uniform Guards were awe-inspiring, it was the Embroidered Uniform Guards who were awe-inspiring, not a small thousand-man like him.

Official Zhang seemed to have known that he would say this. He quickly explained,""Actually, it's not that this dog official has great power. It's just that the officials in the court are afraid of being killed by His Majesty and don't dare to cause trouble. Moreover, I can guarantee that all the crimes I have just said are true. If you handle this case, not only will it be a great merit, but we will also give you a generous gift.”

He saw that the scarred man was a little tempted, so he quickly struck while the iron was hot and said,"If this case is successful, it won't just be that dog official who will die. There will be officials from the Yamen of Yingtian Prefecture, the Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Court, and the Imperial Censorate who will suffer. Lord Thousand Households, don't underestimate this achievement.”

The scarred man was completely moved.

Official Zhang was right. If this case was successful, the magistrate of Shangyuan County would not be able to escape death, and the above yamens would also be in trouble.

Knowing the situation and not reporting it, slacking off in politics, shielding his subordinates... They even linked up.

These were all serious crimes in the Hong Martial Dynasty.

Wouldn't it be a great merit if he could topple these yamen by himself?!

His status in the Embroidered Uniform Guards would also rise.

Just as he was hesitating, Officer Zhang added fuel to the fire and whispered into his ear,""That person also knows about this matter. Although that person's current situation isn't very good, his disciples and old officials are all over the world. If this case is successful, he might even use this case to turn the tables. At that time, Lord Thousand Households will have made the first contribution.”

The scarred man's breathing became heavy.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally slammed his fist on the table and said coldly,"Alright, since that's the case, I'll join in on this deal.”
