After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

Chapter 830 Fang Jin Case 14

He believed that loyalty to his wife was one of the qualities he should possess, regardless of whether his wife was fierce or jealous.

As a human being, you must first have high standards for yourself, rather than being lenient with yourself and strict with others.

If a man lives a life of debauchery and a woman becomes jealous, he is a tigress. But if a woman cheats on him every day and the man can't accept it, is he still a jealous husband?

Anyway, Fang Tong believes that sincerity will be rewarded with sincerity.

His colleagues were silent for a moment, and they could see that he was unhappy.

This was the first man they had ever seen who was willing to admit in public that he was poor and did not want others to say that his wife was more ferocious than a tiger.

It's a little hard to understand.

"Okay, it's a rare occasion for Lord Fang to treat us to a meal, so I must show my support." Lord Huang, who was familiar with Fang Tong, tried to smooth things over.

The others also responded with a smile.

Only Lord Hao had a face so gloomy that water could drip out of it.

Even if Fang Tong was promoted, he was only a small eighth-rank official. Everyone present had a higher rank than him.

But they are willing to flatter Fang Tong. After all, it is because he has a second brother who is willing to work hard for fame and a daughter who is good at scheming and making friends with the powerful.

Lord Hao thought with malice, but he also intended to bow his head and ease his relationship with Fang Tong.

Before he could speak, Fang Tong had already stared at him.

He was not one to be magnanimous or to let bygones be bygones. He simply preferred to seek revenge and to add insult to injury.

"Master Hao, I was able to get promoted thanks to you."

"If you hadn't said that the sweater was useless, I wouldn't have asked the king for help, and I wouldn't have had the opportunity to see the emperor and receive the reward."

"Really, Lord Hao, I will remember this favor in my heart."

What kind of love is this? This is just vengeance.

Lord Hao's heart sank. He didn't expect Fang Tong to be so disrespectful and directly break up with him.

He forced a smile and said, "Master Fang, it's all a misunderstanding. I was wrong about it before."

"No way?" Fang Tong feigned surprise. "Master Hao is very senior and experienced. He shouldn't make such a mistake."

What's with the seniority and experience? It's just a criticism of him being incompetent as he has not moved from his position for many years.

The scolding was really dirty.

"Master Hao, to be honest, you maliciously suppress me and isolate me. It's nothing. I'm a subordinate, and it's my duty to tolerate the difficulties posed by my superiors."

Fang Tong also broke the last layer of window paper.

"But you neglected your duty because of personal grudges. You are derelict in your duty. Wool may be humble, but it determines whether tens of thousands of soldiers can survive the cold winter."

Fang Tong calmly escalated the matter to a higher level.

Hao Weiyi's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He tried to explain: "It's all a misunderstanding..."

Lord Wang Yun came out of the office at some point.

He glanced at Hao Weiyi and said, "Master Hao, there are a number of broken plows in the warehouse. You have some free time recently, so go and fix them."

Hao Weiyi was unwilling to do such a hard job, but since a higher-ranking official could suppress someone more powerful than him, he had no choice but to accept it.

Fang Tong hummed twice with pride and followed Wang Yun into the house.

As soon as he entered the room, Wang Yun said helplessly: "You, you are so arrogant just after being promoted, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"

Fang Tong said confidently: "Sir, I didn't show off when I was promoted. Do I have to show off when I fall from grace?"

Wang Yun is a pragmatist. He cannot win the argument with the smooth-talking Fang Tong and almost follows his twisted logic.

Fang Tong smiled and said, "Sir, I am only an eighth-rank official. I am not very prominent in the capital. Lord Hao, who I am arguing with, is also not a high-ranking official. We are both ordinary people. Who would pay special attention to us?"

No matter how flamboyant he was, he had his limits and didn't throw poop in front of Prince Ning's mansion.

With so many enemies, he can only bully the smaller ones.

Wang Yun thought so and ignored him, getting down to business.

"How do you want to handle the job of inspector of the Wool Department?"

This Yangmao Company was proposed by the people from Sinong Temple, and they definitely want to get a piece of the pie.

But the emperor only ordered Fang Tong to enter, so whatever he wanted to do had to go through Fang Tong.

Fang Tong asked directly: "Sir, do you want to interfere with the Wool Division?"

Lord Wang rolled his eyes in annoyance: "We are from the Sinong Temple, of course we won't interfere in other people's internal affairs, but the profits of the Wool Department..."

Fang Tong understood immediately and wanted to get a piece of the pie regardless of the actual operation of the Yangmao Company.

Don't get me wrong, it's not Lord Wang who wants a share of the pie, it's the Sinong Temple that wants a share.

They spent a lot of money on buying farmland and seeds, and every time they went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to report, they were very stingy.

Sinong Temple must want to get some subsidies from other places.

Fang Tong thought about it and simply told Eunuch Fu about his suggestion.

In other words, the profits of the Wool Bureau, apart from the Ministry of War, are next to those of their Ministry of Agriculture.

Wang Yun was very satisfied.

"Your Majesty trusts you highly. You must do your job well to live up to his grace."

Wang Yun said this sincerely.

Because he was an honest man who came from a humble background, was deeply blessed by the emperor, and was always grateful.

Fang Tong agreed seriously.

When he was about to leave, Wang Yun couldn't help but remind him: "Be careful of the people from the Ministry of Revenue at the Wool Department."

Fang Tong smiled and said, "I understand."

The Wool Bureau is mainly under the responsibility of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War, but the Ministry of Revenue has nothing to do with the profits. I am afraid that the other party will not be willing to accept this.

It’s not that officials would embezzle money, but once the profits were deposited into the Ministry of Revenue’s account, it would be much more difficult for the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Agriculture to ask for more money, as they would be controlled by the Ministry of Revenue again.

Fang Tong was in high spirits, and the public trial in Jingzhao Prefecture was also at a critical juncture.

As soon as Chen Daguanshi arrived in Beijing, he was "invited" to Jingzhao Prefecture.

He confessed to the accusations made by Landlord Wang and Master Chen.

"I am a servant of the Changping Marquis's Mansion. I must do what my master tells me to do, and I must also do what my master doesn't tell me to do."

"Fang Jin was killed because he took money he shouldn't have. I took the decision without authorization to help my master."

Manager Chen knelt in the hall, but he was not too flustered.

It can be seen that the Changping Marquis' Mansion had reminded him long ago.

Everyone could see that he was prepared to die.

"Butler Chen holds real power. Fang Jin is not only Su Qingya's adoptive father, but also Su Xiran's biological father. Miss Su has always been filial. How could she tolerate you killing your father?"

The question from the prefect is very pointed.

Fang Nanzhi could tell that he wanted to drag others into the water.

The people could not help but be guided.

Yes, Su Xiran is so filial that she held a grand welcoming banquet for Fang Jin. But if she was really filial, why didn’t she go back to her biological parents when her identity was exposed?

Or did he suddenly become filial after several years?

"Tsk, adopted daughters are not easy to deal with, biological daughters are almost the same."

Some people lamented.

Fang Jin listened to the discussion without changing his expression, and had no intention of standing up for his own daughter.

Steward Chen said thoughtfully, "The second young lady is already married, she..."

"Manager Chen, I advise you to think it through before you speak."

The prefect's eyes were dignified.
