Chapter 332: Just Escaped and Entered the Cage
However, after Liu Gan was released, he hurriedly returned to the house to wash up, changed into clean clothes, and then asked the housekeeper to get 300,000 taels of silver notes. He just waited for the sun to set, and then took the silver notes out of the house with them.
The place he went to was the Qiu Wan Ao family in Qiu Mansion. Due to the imprisonment of He Xian and Pan Wencheng, Liu Gan saw his future. He was dissatisfied with him and kept beating with Shen Qing, but he was suffering from the fact that there was no better vacancy above the Minister.
But now his opportunity has come. As soon as He Changxu fell, he has the opportunity to make up for it, and he is about to seize this opportunity.
Qiu Wanao just returned from Zhengde Gate. Today he also heard about He Xian and Pan Wencheng's arrest. Zheng was so angry that he heard from his servants that the Minister of Personnel was here.
He Xian and Pan Wencheng had just been imprisoned, and Liu Gan came over with a greedy guy. Although Qiu Wanao knew what Liu Gan was thinking, he still did not show any anger in his heart. He just drank a cup of tea before letting Liu Gan enter the house.
Liu Gan waited outside for about a stick of incense. From the initial excitement to the end of anxiety, there was no other person to pay homage to the house. Qiu Wanao's move was clearly just to let him go.
He guessed that Qiu Wanao should already know the purpose of his trip, but he didn't care. He was impatient, so what?
For Qiu Wanao, interests are the most important. He Xian and Pan Wencheng are now arrested. Judging from the emperor's attitude towards the six ministries, He Changxu must not be able to escape. It's just that the conclusive news has not yet been released, but he knew that it should be soon.
As the saying goes, the opportunity should be as early as possible. When he sees the opportunity comes, why will he wait for the opportunity? If he waits for it, there will only be more and more people who covet the fragrant steamed bun.
He came to the door of the inner room, and Qiu Lu was looking at him with a smile at the door. He took 200,000 taels of silver notes and handed them to Qiu Lu.
This is the old rule of the Qiu family. Anyone who wants to come to Qiu Wanao to do business will give the red envelope to Qiu Lu, who is guarding the gate. Because Qiu Wanao is in power, there are naturally more people who come to him for business, ranging from 10,000 to 200,000 to 300,000. In short, depending on the size of the matter.
If you consider how much silver bills you give yourself, you will be happy if you give them more money. If you give less money, the silver bill will be wasted, so the more money you give you.
Qiu Lu smiled and took the silver note, then went into the room, and soon came out and said, "Sir, please, Lord, please, Master, just woke up, what did you say, "Sir, please slow down and make it clearer. Master, you're still dizzy now."
Liu Gan nodded slightly and thanked him, then strode in.
Qiu Wanao was indeed lying on the bed, still closing his eyes and pretending to sleep. He stepped forward and bowed: "Secretary of the Lord Fu has met you."
Qiu Wanao's eyes didn't open, but said lazily: "Your injuries have not healed yet. You just came out of the cell, why are you still running around?"
At first glance, his words seemed to care about Liu Gan's body, but Liu Gan could hear the anger hidden in Qiu Wanao's words.
Even though Liu Gan did it on purpose, he still had to show fear on his face, so he immediately knelt down and said, "Sir, the official walked away at the gate of hell this time, and was almost wrongly accused of death. It is not worth mercy to have implicated the official, and the official is very frightened.
The lower official just wants to follow the adults wholeheartedly and share their worries----"
"Okay, I know what you want to say. Pan Wencheng and He Xian were arrested. He Changxu, you don't think he can't afford to take it. You want me to take you to the position of Minister of Rites." Qiu Wanao said calmly without any emotion.
Liu Gan smiled embarrassedly, "Master, a master, a brilliant idea-----"
"You go back." Qiu Wanao said coldly, but clearly issued an order to expel guests.
Liu Gan's heart skipped a beat. He gave all the money. He even prepared 100,000 taels to go to Shen Qing's mansion. After all, he was still the Minister of Personnel. If he wanted to be promoted, he would have to do the performance assessment.
Could it be that 200,000 taels are not enough? But when his official office sells an official, it is only 200,000 taels at most. He usually collects silver for Qiu Wanao, so this kind of thing is naturally very clear.
Seeing that he was not leaving yet, Qiu Lu smiled and said, "Please please."
Qiu Wanao had already lie down again, and Liu Gan had no choice but to get up and go out.
Qiu Lu only sent him to the door and retreated. Liu Gan was led out of the Qiu Mansion by the servant.
He couldn't figure out what Qiu Wanao meant, whether he agreed or not? He thought that the 200,000 taels were gone, but the matter might not be done well, so he was very upset and did not rush to see Shen Qing, carrying the remaining 100,000 taels back home.
The next day, the sun was already rising, and Liu Gan was still lying in bed and didn't want to get up. He was still thinking about whether to meet Qiu Wanao again, or to see Shen Qing and ask him to say good things for him? But Shen Qing would be willing?
"Master--Master, it's not good, someone from Dali Temple is here again." The servant hurriedly ran into the inner room, disrupting Liu Gan's thoughts.
Liu Gan said angrily: "Whatever you shout, the person comes, you will come. Don't you ask what they are doing?"
The servant said aggrievedly: "I asked the little one, but they didn't say it, and they broke in."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Dou Guan's voice: "Mr. Liu, it seems that you and my Dali Temple are a little indissoluble." As he said that, Dou Guan broke into the inner room directly.
Liu Gan said angrily: "Dou Guan, don't bully people too much. This is my official's private residence. What's the reason for you to break through privately again and again?"
Dou Guan not only came in by himself, but also a group of yamen soldiers behind him. He sternly said: "Liu Gan, you pretended well, you even cheated me. I thought you were really wronged, but I didn't expect it to be you. Now everyone has evidence and physical evidence. You sell the tribute quota for the tribute. This time I came here to arrest you.
Hold him up and take him back to Dali Temple.”
As soon as the words were finished, the yamen runners behind him stepped forward and dragged Liu Gan directly from the bed.
Liu Gan was still in a state of confusion. After being dragged down, he finally woke up and was angry and anxious: "Dou Guan, what do you mean? What does it mean to have both human and physical evidence? The quota of tribute tribute was the Ministry of Rites, Pan Wencheng and He Xian. As for whom they listened to, you know this without me telling me.
You wronged me and caused me to be in a prison cell for several days. I didn't argue with you. You dare to come again. Do you believe it or not? I will go to the emperor to participate in you and sue you for slandering the imperial officials."
