Chapter 2177 1 Guan
Wang Xuance’s words touched Pei Ziyu and General Li. That’s right, it was the word greed.
It was because of this word that the situation has come to this point. Sixty or seventy officials from Xizhou Prefecture were sent to jail, which accounts for the majority of all officials in Xizhou.
If it weren't for the word "greed", these people wouldn't have ended up in such a desperate situation.
I don’t know if Wang Xuance was talking about Prince Ji or if he had some other meaning.
“What Wang Changshi said is right, people should not be too greedy, otherwise they will fall into the abyss and there will be no recovery.
The officials in prison are living examples of this.”
Pei Ziyu couldn't help but sigh.
“Haha, Pei Changshi, there is a difference between greed and greed, as the saying goes, a gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way.
Why do people want to be greedy? Greed is a kind of desire. Desire can make people work hard to make progress.
For example, those students want to be the top student in high school and bring honor to their family. This is also a kind of greed, but this greed will make them study harder.
Although His Royal Highness Prince Ji is greedy for money, the huge Prince Ji's Mansion is due to Prince Ji's wisdom and wisdom.
It was not earned through the blood and sweat of the people, and I admire this very much.”
Wang Xuance smiled lightly. These views were what King Ji taught them on a daily basis.
It was the first time that Pei Ziyu and the others heard such a statement about greed, and they couldn't help but ponder for a long time.
However, he scoffed at what Wang Xuance said later. It was true that His Royal Highness Prince Ji earned his wealth through his own talent.
But they didn't believe it was the people's money.
Not to mention anything else, they had already heard about His Royal Highness Prince Ji's fraud and deception in Chang'an City.
Aren’t the aristocratic families and those merchants also common people? Isn’t their money the blood and sweat of the people?
However, it was not convenient for the two to say this, and they had to nod in cooperation:
"What Wang Changshi said is true. His Highness Prince Ji is so righteous that we both admire him."
Some things are better left to one's own knowledge and not to be discussed openly.
"Come here, Mr. Wang, I would also like to offer a toast to Mr. Wang and thank him for his great help.
Don't worry, Wang Changshi, those who promised Wang Changshi will definitely get the target. "
General Li raised his glass and said very directly that he would definitely give you the money I promised you.
Wang Xuance smiled and replied:
"General Li, you are too polite. I am just seeking justice. You two have said that these criminal officials have been working diligently and conscientiously in Xizhou.
Even if he has no merit, he has worked hard. We cannot let such good officials who work for the court feel discouraged.
They just made a mistake that officials all over the world are prone to make.”
"Hahahaha, that's right, what Wang Changshi said is right. They just made a mistake that officials all over the world are prone to make. Wang Changshi is righteous."
After hearing this, General Li laughed out loud and drank it all in one gulp.
At this time, Pei Ziyu on the side took the opportunity to ask:
"Wang Changshi, do you think they can keep their official positions? Pei has no other intentions, but you can see that Xizhou Prefecture is in need of people now.
If we wait for someone from the imperial court to come, we don’t know when it will arrive.”
"This... is a bit difficult to handle." Wang Xuance frowned after hearing this.
Oh shit, this sentence again!
Both of them had some stress reactions when they heard this. Wang Xuance was not a good person either. He actually wanted money.
It seems that he is also a greedy person, both of them thought so in their hearts.
However, the two of them felt that there was some information, and since it was not a rejection, there was a chance.
"Master Wang, there are no outsiders here. Master Wang, please speak directly if you have anything to say. If you have any requests, the two of us will convey them to those people."
Pei Ziyu said bluntly.
"One thousand strings of cash. As long as each person pays one thousand strings of cash, I can help think of a way to keep their official positions."
Wang Xuance didn't even bother pretending. He just raised a finger and named a price.
The two were stunned after hearing this. They did not expect Wang Xuance to state the price directly. Shouldn't he make the request in a very obscure way, or let the criminal officials propose it themselves?
"Why? You two think that Mr. Wang's conditions are too high? Do you know how difficult it is to keep their positions in front of King Ji?"
Seeing that the two men didn't say anything, Wang Xuance thought they thought it was too expensive, so he asked back.
“No, no, no, the conditions proposed by Wang Changshi are not too high, Pei thinks they are very reasonable.
Later, the two of us will go back to the prison and make this request to them. I believe they will agree."
Pei Ziyu quickly shook his head.
"That's good. It's not that I'm greedy for money. I'm willing to help them because they are all loyal ministers and generals serving the country and the people.
Otherwise, no matter how much money is offered, Wang will not make a move. "
Wang Xuance said with a serious face.
The two of them nodded in cooperation. They had played this game before.
"Master Wang, when will the trial begin?" After chatting for a while, Pei Ziyu asked again.
Wang Xuance replied without even thinking:
“Wang said that we will hold the trial after their money arrives, so that we can give Prince Ji an excuse.
We'll just wait for some time.
Wang will be in the Governor's Mansion these days, and the affairs of the Governor's Mansion will be supervised by Wang personally to avoid any trouble. "
After hearing this, the two men thought to themselves, it is true that one does not release the eagle until he sees the rabbit. People coming out of Prince Ji’s mansion are different.
But they had no choice and had to listen to Wang Xuance in everything.

"The vast horizon is my love~~~~"
Li Shen was riding a horse on a grassland. Not far away were cotton fields. The beautiful scenery made Li Shen want to sing a song.
"Your Majesty, over there is the market for the various families who come here to plant cotton fields. Go this way and you will go to Wang Wencheng's villa."
A guard beside Li Shen introduced him as the squad leader who had followed Wang Hongfu here to do business. He had almost escaped death that time and he still remembered it vividly.
Since we had been here once and were familiar with the roads, he led the way.
"What Wang Wencheng's villa? That's my villa. I built it with my money."
Hearing this, Li Shen immediately retorted.
"Yes, I was wrong. It's the villa of His Royal Highness Prince Ji." The squad leader quickly changed his words.
"What's in that market?" Li Shen asked curiously, looking in that direction.
These people are really interesting. They even set up a market.
“Your Highness, it’s nothing. I heard that the market is not very big, and some passing merchants will stop there to buy some supplies.
We also buy some cotton products, most of which are from merchants in the Western Regions."
The squad leader replied that he had never been there either. The situation was urgent at the time, so they went directly to the villa to arrest Wang Wencheng.
"These bastards, our Tang Dynasty doesn't even have enough cotton, yet they're actually selling cotton to others. This is outrageous."
