Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 964 Thanks?

Fang Zhanfang Sicheng did not expect his errand to go so smoothly. Li Chengliang, the dignified Liaodong general officer and Ning Yuanbo, the king of Liaodong known as "Uncle Li" in Liaozuo, was easily subdued and not only took the initiative to receive He handed over his own nephew Li Rugui to him on the spot, and even apologized repeatedly with a look of remorse.

In front of him, Li Chengliang said that because he had been fighting for a long time for many years, he had neglected to discipline his nephews, so that these bastards were lawless and didn't know any rules. Yu Li must be severely punished.

Fang Sicheng was relieved by Li Chengliang's words, and was also praised by Li Chengcai and others during the banquet. He reported to Li Chengliang on the spot Gao Wushi's words at that time, such as "Clean up the house on behalf of Ruqi brother "such as.

Li Chengliang sighed, thanked again and again, and said: "My brother Wan Chengqiuzhen is kind and generous, helping me to prevent the erroneous progress, and saving my family from future disasters, Cheng Liang is very grateful."

Although Fang Sicheng was not a three-year-old child, he didn't believe it at all, but Li Chengliang seemed to be very sincere, and said emotionally: "I have been honored by the sage Long's favor, and I was awarded a knighthood with my humble achievements. I should be careful in cultivating blessings." , but because of years of fighting, neglecting the teachings of the children of my family, I am really ashamed that such things have happened. To say something from the bottom of my heart, the mistake is not to ask the true and virtuous brother to treat me like a real brother. How can ordinary people take the risk Doing such things at the risk of offending Li Mou? Li Mou is not a heartless person, this kindness should be remembered for a hundred years!"

Seeing that Li Chengliang spoke so bluntly, Fang Sicheng even dared to say "Ordinary people would risk offending Li to do such a thing", it seems that he really felt that Gao Bingxian was helping him up.

He couldn't help thinking to himself: Although Li Chengliang is domineering, but now it seems that it is because of winning too many battles, not because he doesn't know the importance.Now the imperial court sent Gao Bingxian to Liao, although it may not be aimed at Li Chengliang, but after this incident, it must be able to shake the mountains and let Li Chengliang know that no matter how powerful he is in Liaodong, there are still people in the court who can rule him.From this point of view, it is also a good thing.

Fang Sicheng thought that he had figured out Li Chengliang's intentions, and thinking of the "reconciliation of generals", he immediately patted his chest as a guarantee for Li Chengliang. Knowing Uncle Ning Yuan's mind, don't make things difficult for Li Rugui.

According to what he said, Li Rugui was young after all, and this time it was just that he didn't think carefully about what he did. Besides, he intended to rush to join the army, and he himself was for the sake of the Holy One, and for the sake of Ming Dynasty, so he really shouldn't be punished severely.

Li Chengliang thanked him again and again, but secretly despised him in his heart: It seems that although Gao Qiuzhen is powerful, he doesn't have any right-hand assistants in Liaodong after all, and the guy he sent out is a complete nerd, and he will believe it when he is coaxed.

Besides, what's the use of you going to intercede with Gao Qiuzhen?He Gao Qiuzhen dare not even sell my face, Li Chengliang, and would he care about you, a mere Sicheng from a family background?It's really a big joke in the world, if Gao Qiuzhen should let go, apart from Zhang Siwei, maybe only Shen Shixing and others could have this face.

Of course, sir, my method is much smarter than what you think. I will neither ask Zhang Siwei nor Shen Shixing. After all, who will have the last laugh between the two schools of practicality, learning, heart and learning, sir, I don’t understand either. But I can go and beg the emperor—if I make it clear that I can't do it, then I'll pretend to be pitiful!

Uncle, I have made so many great achievements in these years, and the Holy Majesty has sued the Taimiao dozens of times because of me. Don't you save me this bit of face?
When Fang Sicheng was sent away by Li Chengliang with thousands of thanks, not only Li Rugui was handed over to him by the uncle Li Chengliang who was "denied by his six relatives", Li Chengcai, the second master of Li, also went out in person, leaving aside the important matter of calculating the army's luggage Do it, but follow him to "thank you" Gao Wushi.

Fang Sicheng secretly rejoiced: This is also a good thing. Gao Bingxian must think that my words are sharp when he sees them. If the Li family brothers repent and reform, they will definitely favor me.

Now happily and politely took Li Chengcai on the road together, and didn't even leave the Ma Yi, but deliberately took the waterway opened by Jinghua, from Taizi River to Liao River, and took a boat south to Yingkou and back to Gaizhou. I am the style of Gao Bingxian's direct lineage.

After Li Chengcai arrived in Gaizhou, he personally accompanied Fang Zhan and escorted his son Li Rugui to meet Gao Bingxian's grand master. When he arrived at the Bingxian Yamen, he first rewarded Gao's servants as usual, and the reward was doubled.

Who knew that when the members of the Gao family saw the silver, they seemed to have seen a ghost, and they all waved their hands quickly, resolutely refusing to accept it.

Li Chengcai was startled, and thought to himself: Isn't the Gao family's family status too high?Your second master, I have already doubled the reward, which is much more than the Dian Duyuan and the Fuyuan. You still don’t like it?Damn, how much do you usually charge?
But at this time, Fang Sicheng relieved him and said: "Hey, the second master doesn't have to follow the usual rules. Gao Bingxian's family Ding doesn't accept the money, you just follow the students in."

Li Chengcai was skeptical, first followed Fang Zhan into the military constitutional office, still worried, and quietly asked why.

Fang Sicheng smiled and said: "Second Lord doesn't know that Gao Bingxian is rich in the world, and the salary of these servants is higher than that of the county magistrate, but the rules are also very strict. Anyone who dares to accept such 'family money' at will will be severely punished. .”

"Oh, so that's how it is..." Li Chengcai asked casually, "What kind of severe punishment made them frightened like this? Dismissal?"

"That's not true, is this a severe punishment? The first time you commit this crime, you will be fined ten times the silver." Fang Sicheng explained: "For example, the second master just gave a reward... um, how much is the reward?"

"Ah? Oh, I plan to give two taels per person." Li Chengcai said.

"Two taels, if you are found out, you will be fined 20 taels of silver." Fang Sicheng said with a smile.

Li Chengcai was taken aback: "A fine of 20 taels? Then they are afraid that half a year will be for nothing?"

"Yes, but it hasn't been half a year. Gao's family has a high salary." Fang Sicheng said with a smile: "But this is only the first time, which is the so-called first offense. If it is a repeat offense, it will be even more severe. A fine of fifty times, um...that's 100 taels."

Li Chengcai was stunned for a moment, rolled his eyes, and was a little puzzled: "Even if their servants have higher salaries, there are not many of them who can be fined a hundred taels of silver, right? After all, the servants of Gao Bingxian should not have the chance to go to the battlefield. Not much." This means that without rewards for military exploits, it will take a long time to save up to 100 taels just by relying on high salaries.

Fang Sicheng smiled and said, "That's natural."

"Then what if we can't be punished?" Li Chengcai asked in surprise.

"It's okay if you can't get fined, you can go to mine, and not only yourself, but also your family members, counting the work, except for the rations and clothing money given to them, the rest will slowly pay the fine silver, when will After paying, when will the account be paid?"

Li Chengcai was shocked in his heart: Sure enough, he underestimated Gao Qiuzhen. I'm afraid his method is more ruthless than military law!

At this moment, a member of the Gao family came out, glanced at the two of them, and said, "You two, my master is here to invite you."
