Farmer's Wife Has Space

Chapter 400 I have to take silver taels to bribe the officials above
Lord Zeng's subordinates had no choice but to talk about the flood situation.

"The lower reaches of the Meijiang River are already full of water, only roofs and trees can be seen, and there are many debris floating on the water surface, as well as dead bodies..."

"Understood, you go down!"

Master Zeng interrupted his subordinates, he felt a headache when he heard the dead body.

At this time, the magistrate's wife and his concubine came in crying to him.

"Master, what's going on here? Why are there so many people guarding us outside our house? Our child's head was broken by a stone the moment he went out!"

"Not only the children, we can't get out either, and the servants who buy vegetables can't get out either!"

"Master, is it true what those people outside said?"

They all knew about Master's injury last night, but they didn't know what Master had done.

What those people outside said, if the master really did it, then the master is... too inhuman!

Mr. Zeng waved his hands irritably: "Go back to my room! If you can't go out, don't go out! The food in the house is enough for you to feed for half a month, why are you panicking!"

In fact, he panicked himself first.

After driving away the women who bothered him, Mr. Zeng hurriedly called his confidants to discuss countermeasures.

"What should we do now in this situation?"

"I want to hear the truth!"

His confidantes knew that he was Gu Changsheng's person, and he was also the person who accompanied him from the magistrate to the magistrate.

Without the help of Gu Changsheng and the others, Master Zeng would not have been able to rise to the prefect in a short period of time.

He has benefited a lot from Gu Changsheng, but he also helped Gu Changsheng do a lot of outrageous things.

The last time Master Zeng failed to complete the task of planning Luokung Mountain, he was reprimanded by Gu Changsheng's people.

This time, not only did he fail to complete the task, but he also promoted Gu Zheng's good reputation.

Now everyone in Meicheng knows that Gu Zheng understands astronomy, geography, martial arts, is wise and decisive, and most importantly, he has a kind heart.

He risked the grievance of being misunderstood by the people, and even risked his life, decisively shot and wounded the court official, forcing him to order the opening of the city gate, in order to save tens of thousands of lives.

Tens of thousands of lives!This achievement is enough to be praised by the world.

Originally wanted Gu Zheng to be ruined, but in the end pushed him to the altar, one can imagine how Gu Changsheng would punish him.

Master Zeng's actions have already aroused public indignation. As high as Gu Zheng's praise is, the people's voices to crusade against Master Zeng will be as high. It is also possible that the court will not protect Master Zeng.

Mr. Zeng can think of these causal loops, and so can his confidants and subordinates.

The confidantes also knew very well that Mr. Zeng was afraid that he would not be able to protect himself this time, so if he continued to stay by Mr. Zeng's side, there would be no good fruit to eat.

But he can't say it clearly!

He thought for a while, and gave Master Zeng an idea: "My lord, this matter is a bit troublesome, but you should not worry too much, you only need to insist that the little prince has bribed you, and you are worried that some bad people will take the opportunity to sneak in, so you will order the city gate to be closed." , the imperial court will not be able to find your fault."

Master Zeng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, he made the same decision.

But the confidant said again: "However, just in case, what I mean is that we should take care of it in advance."

Master Zeng understands this.

Take silver taels to bribe the officials above.

He must let go of this little blood.

Master Zeng didn't hesitate, took out the ten thousand taels of silver note, and handed it to his confidants: "Now we can't get out, and I will leave it to you to go up and do some business."
