Chapter 48 Whispering
(Please bookmark, please recommend tickets! Thanks to book friend Zhou Changlin for the reward~)

The prefect Yao is so indulging in sex, there is only one possibility that he knows that his official career is over.

To be happy in life is to have fun, since there is no hope for an official career, if you don't indulge in wine and sex, wouldn't it be a pity for yourself to study hard for many years?
After analyzing Yao Zhifu's psychology, Xie Shen became concerned.Such a utilitarian person may not get his attention if he just makes a statement according to the plan.

Seeing the prefect Yao's appearance, he should have been a little impatient, Xie Shen didn't dare to procrastinate, and immediately cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is working hard to govern so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. But the students never thought that under the bright and bright world, there are people who intend to disturb the government. Pry the foundation of Ming Dynasty!"

After saying these words, not only Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi, but even lawyer Xiao, who was always full of confidence, was shocked.

They had already discussed the matter before, why did Xie Shen come up and say such an irrelevant thing.

Xie Shen didn't play cards according to the routine, and first put a hat on the matter to determine the nature of the matter, in order to make Yao Zhifu pay attention to this matter.Otherwise, if it drags on, things will definitely end up in the end.Judging from Yao Zhifu's indulgent appearance, he will not pay much attention to this matter.

Sure enough, Yao Zhifu heard Xie Shen mention that some people in Shaoxing Prefecture disturbed the government and shaken the foundation of Ming Dynasty, and he felt a chill down his spine.

But when he thought that the words came from a teenage doll, he was a little angry again.

This son speaks so bluntly, what kind of things in Shaoxing mansion can rise to such a height?
"Tell me one by one!"

"Students obey!"

Xie Shen was overjoyed, the prefect Yao had obviously attached importance to the case, now as long as he told the story and submitted the certificate, the matter would be settled.

"Your Majesty knows that someone in Shaoxing City privately casts copper coins!"

As soon as Xie Shen said this, Yao Wuben's face turned dark.

Making money privately is a serious crime of beheading, how dare someone be so arrogant?

"What you said is the truth?"

The corner of Yao Zhifu's mouth twitched slightly, and he subconsciously leaned forward.

"Your Majesty, the students dare not speak nonsense!"

Xie Shen cupped his hands in an answer neither humble nor overbearing.

"The one who privately minted copper coins is Bo Sheng Ji, a gambling house in the city!"

"Casino?"

Prefect Yao was obviously a little surprised. Gambling workshops are not unusual, but it is somewhat difficult to understand that gambling workshops privately mint money.

"You said they minted money privately, do you have evidence?"

Xie Shen said lightly: "Your Majesty is wise, you only need to send someone to the gambling house to check and you can get all the stolen goods!"

Gambling was strictly prohibited in the early Ming Dynasty, but since the Chenghua Dynasty, the world has become extravagant and various laws and regulations have become increasingly relaxed.Gambling became more and more popular. Taking Shaoxing Mansion as an example, there were almost no gambling houses before the Chenghua Dynasty, but only Shaoxing Mansion had three gambling houses in the Hongzhi Dynasty.

These gambling houses are backed by local gentry, so the magistrate and magistrate also turned a blind eye, as long as nothing major happened, they didn't bother to take care of it.

But this private minting of silver coins is definitely a major event that will break the sky. If it is spread, the prefect Yao will wear the hat of mediocrity.

"Come here, go to this Boshengji Gambling Shop and check it out. If it is true... as this Xiansheng said, then lock the shopkeeper of this gambling shop and this mansion back!"

The officials of the government office have long been accustomed to the magistrate's inaction, and the old man suddenly became violent and acted violently. These officials are indeed a little uncomfortable.

But after all, they were living in the yamen, and they just obeyed the prefect Yao's order, and they didn't need to ask questions.

The leading official took a dozen or so quick-shift officials to receive the card tickets and left the government office in the direction of Boshengji Gambling House.

This matter is both an opportunity and a challenge for Yao Zhifu. If it is not handled properly, it will easily become a reality, and there is no need to count on the evaluation of the Ministry of Officials.But if he handles it well, not only will he not be reprimanded by the officials, but he may also get a high-level evaluation for his meritorious service, and his luck will change from then on.

The young man in front of him is the head of the county examination case, and he can be regarded as half a scholar. His words should be true, otherwise he would be joking about his future fame.

The prefect Yao unexpectedly had a faint expectation for this matter.The casino naturally has a background, but that's just some local gentry and celebrities.These people are not officials, but to put it bluntly, they are some famous old men. If they are offended, they will be offended. The key depends on whether the offence is worth it.

After all, people want to pursue benefits, and the biggest benefit for Yao Zhifu is of course promotion in the officialdom.Although Shaoxing is outstanding, he has stayed here enough and wants to be a Beijing official.It is said that the water in Beijing is muddy, but he doesn't mind.If he didn't even become a Beijing official in his whole life, Yao Zhifu would really die in depression.

The shopkeeper of the gambling shop is the king of Hades in front of ordinary people, but he is not even a kid in front of the fast class yamen servant who holds a card ticket.In less than a stick of incense, the shopkeeper of Boshengji Gambling Shop was detained by a group of yamen servants.

The shopkeeper of this Boshengji Gambling Shop is surnamed Li Dan, and he is about forty years old. He has a broad forehead and a long face, but his ears are thick and his star eyes are like blessings.

But now he couldn't smile at all, since he entered the hall of the government office, he kept hanging his head, until Yao Zhifu slapped the gavel tree, he raised his head excitedly.

Xie Shen thought in his heart that the prefect Yao would shoot the gavel at every turn, if his heart is not good, something will happen sooner or later.

"The person under the hall is the shopkeeper of Bo Sheng Ji?"

Yao Zhifu cleared his throat and asked sharply.

Although gambling was no longer officially prohibited after Chenghua, gambling houses were not allowed to appear on the stage after all, so Yao Zhifu did not mention the word gambling houses.

But the shopkeeper Li Dan fell to his knees with a plop, and said in a trembling voice: "The little old man is the shopkeeper of Bo Sheng Ji. I don't know what he did wrong to make the old man angry."

It stands to reason that all gambling houses greet the county government, and they usually pay a lot of money for filial piety.Maybe the prefect Yao didn't take money directly from here, but the other chief officials did not lose money from it.Therefore, the Kuaiban yamen will not come to lock people without special circumstances.But today, a group of public figures came to Boshengji Gambling House aggressively. They first showed the government office card tickets, and then they were locked into the government office by Li Dan without any explanation.Ever since Li Dan became the shopkeeper of this Boshengji gambling shop, how could he have received such birdishness.Therefore, when he saw Zhifu Yao, he shook out all the grievances in his chest.

"This virtuous man said that you minted silver coins privately in the shop, is there such a thing?"

Yao Zhifu rubbed his forehead and said in a deep voice.

Li Dan looked shocked, and quickly said: "This must be slander, the old man wants to make the decision for the little old man!"

"Chen Sheng, what can you find?"

The corner of Yao Zhifu's mouth raised slightly, and he glanced at the leader of the yamen servant.
