Chapter 441 Fraud 2

A deputy general enters the capital with huge gold and wants to buy it. There is no way out for the promotion of officials. On this day, a knight came to visit, Diao Qiu's horse, dressed luxuriously. When they met each other, the man said, "The surname is Zhang, and his wife and brother are close servants of the emperor. At present, there is a general position. If there is a need, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can try to plead in front of the emperor. Don't worry about it."

The deputy general hesitated when he heard the words and did not say anything. Zhang said, "There is no need to consider this matter. If you are afraid of being deceived, we can sign the document, give it to the official first, and then pay later. If the money is on you, can I still force it? Seeing that he was reasonable, the deputy general thought for a while and nodded and agreed.

The next day, Zhang came again and said, "My wife and brother, please come with me." The two rode to the meeting and turned to a mansion, which was more magnificent than a prince.

Entering the hall, the host Tian held a banquet. During the banquet, Tian was arrogant. He looked at the general sideways and asked, "You want to buy it. Officer? This matter can't be done without ten thousand taels of gold. Are you willing to do it? If you want, I have an agreement here, which will take effect after signing and painting.

The deputy general said, "I have a lot of money, and the agreement can also be signed, but one thing is that we have to do things first and pay later."

Tian said, "This is natural. It's easy for me to be an official. It's just that people's hearts are unpredictable. I just met the general for the first time. How can I believe you?

The deputy general said, "Let's limit it to three days. As long as you can let me see the emperor, ask for an official position, and present gold immediately within three days."

Tian said, "Okay, that's it."

The two sides agreed on the chips, and the deputy general got his wish and got up to say goodbye. Tian ordered Zhang to see off the guests. The host and guest came to the door. Zhang said, "General, I have a word to tell you: my wife and brother Tian is a popular person in the court, and the civil and military ministers are competing to make friends. I hope that after you are promoted to the office, you will be trustworthy and have silver and gold ready. Don't go back on your word. Otherwise, we can support you and trample you down. We can take back the official position at any time.

The deputy general smiled and said, "I have been in the military for many years, and I have made a promise. It's agreed that you won't lose a penny. You don't have to scare me with harsh words.

Two days later, at dusk, the deputy general sat idle at home, and several people roared and broke in, shouting, "Please." The deputy general was surprised, dressed in his court uniform, and entered the palace.

When he came to the palace, he saw the emperor sitting in the hall, and there were many warriors beside him, and the sky was majestic. The deputy general knelt down and saluted long live. The emperor gave him a seat, expressed his condolences, and said, "General Wu Lie is very famous. I have heard of it for a long time. When I see you today, you are really worthy of the talent. Somewhere is dangerous and there is a shortage of a general, I will give you the first-class official title and take office immediately. Work hard, make contributions to the country, and have a good time to be a marquis.

The deputy general thanked the saint and left. When he returned to his residence, he sent his men to Tianfu, offered 10,000 taels of gold, and kept his promise. Since then, I have been rest-free and think that I have been appointed as an official. Drink with relatives and friends every day, talk about it, and be in a good spirit.

In the past few days, the imperial edict has not been issued for a long time. The deputy general looked through the autumn water and went to the court to inquire. The position had been replaced by others for a long time, and he was resentful. In anger, he went to the Ministry of War to argue and shouted, "Your Majesty personally decided the position. How can Lord Tian match it up from it? How dare you grant it to others?"

Sima, the Ministry of War, was stunned and sneered, "Are you sick? In the court, where did Lord Tian come from? Dare to talk nonsense again, roar in the court, and serve the law.

The deputy general was shocked when he heard the words, and his heart was cold. After thinking a little, he suddenly realized that the years were unfavorable, and he met a liar.
