Jia Yucun over there didn't know that he had lost another excellent opportunity to climb a high branch, and the reason for losing this precious opportunity can be regarded as retribution for "any unjust behavior will lead to self-destruction".
He returned to the inn room that Luo Bang had prepared for him with his head downcast and his eyes filled with sadness. For the first time in his life, he felt extremely frustrated, so he asked the waiter to serve him some good wine and food, and he got drunk.
Just when he was feeling sad, there was a sudden noise in his ears. Jia Yucun was a little tipsy, but not drunk yet. Hearing the noise outside, he couldn't help but be curious because he had been living here for a while.
, which can be regarded as understanding some things about the dock.
At this time, generally speaking, few people continue to work. It has already reached this time, and basically everyone has gone back to rest. The sky has darkened, especially now that it is winter and it is very cold near the water, so
The workers were sent back to rest very early.
So who is unloading the cargo at the dock now?
Jia Yucun couldn't suppress his inner curiosity, thinking that being idle was just idle, so he secretly opened the window and looked down with slightly squinted eyes. He saw dozens of people surrounding several large ships. It didn't seem like they were unloading.
Instead, they are loading cargo onto the ship!
Jia Yucun rubbed his eyes and wanted to take a closer look. Who knew that when he looked at it, he was stunned. He saw that the Luo Bang gang members had not lifted it properly for a while, and the box of goods fell on the ground.
On the ground, bags of things in sacks fell out!
Jia Yucun couldn't help but feel even more curious. He seemed to be hanging outside the window. He stretched his neck hard to see more clearly. Who knew that at this time, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat!
I saw that what fell in the sack was white rice! The boxes after boxes were actually filled with grain!
When loading grain onto a ship, where is it going to be sent? If you take the water route, you must go south, but how can you send grain southward like this? You must know that grain has always been transported north, so how can anyone send grain south?
What is the difference between this and mining coal from Datong, Shanxi, and transporting it to Pingdingshan, Henan to sell?
So in an instant, Jia Yucun thought of something fishy! Something was wrong! This was so wrong! Transporting food south in the middle of the night? What are you trying to do? You can't get on the ship during the day?
If so, why can’t we get on the boat during the day? Because...it’s shady?
Jia Yucun's hair stood on end immediately, and he woke up from the alcohol in an instant! He suppressed all the doubts in his heart, thinking that he would go out to inquire about the news related to food tomorrow, and maybe he could get something from it.
Clues!
He hesitated in his heart. The Luo Gang treated him well, provided him with a place to live, and served him good food and drinks. Isn't it a little bit that he ruined other people's good deeds...
But just thinking about it, Jia Yucun immediately retracted this idea. If they had not committed any illegal crime, then of course real gold is not afraid of fire! What is so scary?
But if they really have some shady conspiracy, then I am an official! Can I forget about business because of some small favors from them? I am doing things within the scope of my duties! Furthermore,
It's just that I stayed with them for two days and ate a few meals with them. At worst, can I just pay them?
Jia Yucun thought this and felt much better...
Early the next morning, Jia Yucun went out to inquire about everything about food. He felt that this matter was definitely not simple, so why not just start getting involved from the food aspect? At the very least, he had to investigate who the food belonged to.
Yes, what is it used for!
Anyway, he has not been able to get on the line with Jia Jing now, so why not study this matter first, what if there is some shocking secret in it? Jia Yucun inquired with this intention, and he really found out something!
"Is Zhang Gong, the Minister of Household Affairs, stealing and selling grain?"
Jia Yucun stood there for a long time with his eyebrows furrowed, and then suddenly slapped his head, "Fuck! These are Zhang Gong's embezzled grains!"
Jia Yucun's whole body suddenly felt excited! It's completely possible! Otherwise, what's the purpose of sneaking so much food to the south in the middle of the night? It's not because the food is stolen and cannot be seen!
I sent it to the south and asked someone to help me resell it to those merchants, and then I sold it in an instant, and it had nothing to do with me!
Jia Yucun felt like he had discovered something extraordinary! This was a plan! One of the six dignified ministers! If he were to overthrow him... Jia Yucun's whole body was trembling with excitement!
Liu Sansan was ready to go to the Yamen after coming out of Jiyan Hall today. Originally, according to the instructions of the Supreme Emperor, there was no need to be more polite, so apart from the princes who were still packing their things, not many people came today.
It's been a long time.
But Liu Sansan thinks this is against the rules and must strictly follow the rules! According to the rules, today the officials have to perform a "comfort ceremony" outside Jiyan Hall. Liu Sansan is very worried that all the officials have forgotten it now.
Rules and cynical!
However, he, Liu Sansan, could not change anything. He could only do his best. After leaving Jiyan Palace, he returned to the Yushitai. He was originally the deputy capital censor under Gao Xi, the censor of Zuodu. However, because of the previous knocking
Because of Que, he was demoted. After all, he was not punished for speaking out, so he was only demoted by half a rank. Now he is Zuo Fudu, Censor Qianshi.
Looking at the statue of Haechi at the door, after a long time, Liu Sansan sighed and lamented that people's hearts are not ancient. After the music was broken, he was about to go in. Who knew that at this time, he suddenly saw two little people from the Yushitai from the side.
The official held up a man and threw him out.
Originally, Liu Sansan thought that they were just the same blind common people who wanted to complain to the emperor... The Yushitai often met such people, and after receiving some advice, they thought that the Yushitai could take care of their affairs, so they
A person who has a life-or-death need to complain to the imperial court. If the imperial censor can't persuade such a person, the only option is to throw him out.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! So Liu Sansan didn't pay much attention to it. When he was about to go in, he heard the man struggling and shouting: "Let me go! Let me go!
Fire me! I want to see Mr. Gao! I have a big case to report! I want to report! I want to report......I want to report Zhang Gong, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs!"
Liu Sansan was taken aback for a moment. He discovered with the same keenness that this matter was definitely not simple! The person who came to complain was actually an official? Or was it a report? The person who reported the matter was Zhang Gong, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?!
Jia Yucun is not a capital official, so he doesn't know what kind of storm has erupted in the sacred city recently surrounding Zhang Gong, the Minister of Household Affairs, but Liu Sansan knows it very well!
He suddenly felt as if he had seized an incredible opportunity!
Liu Sansan rolled his eyes, turned around, stopped the minor officials and said, "Stop!" The minor officials were stunned and looked at each other. Liu Sansan stepped forward and said, "Let him go."
The officials did not dare to resist, so they had to let go of Jia Yucun. One of them stepped forward and said, "Sir, this man came to make trouble. We didn't ask him to go in, but he actually ran in by himself! We caught him."
You’re still talking nonsense, that’s why…”
Liu Sansan nodded, then looked at Jia Yucun, who adjusted his clothes and said: "I'm not talking nonsense! I'm just here to report!"
Liu Sansan looked at him and said, "Who are you, and who are you here to report?" When Jia Yucun saw the old-fashioned look on the face of the man in front of him, he thought he had bumped into some high-ranking official, so he suppressed the excitement in his heart and raised his hands.
: "Your Excellency! My subordinate is Jia Hua, Jia Shifei, the prefect of Jinling! I am here to report that Zhang Gong, the Minister of Household Affairs, colluded with officials and businessmen to steal and sell the country's grain reserves!"
When Liu Sansan heard this, he was a little embarrassed at first, because Jia Yucun was the prefect of Jinling, and he was the deputy censor of Zuodudu. Although he was a capital official, in terms of rank, Jia Yucun, a fourth-rank prefect, was actually better than him.
It's a little higher than the fourth-grade Jingguan... Speaking of it, Jia Yucun is the Shangguan...
But when he heard what happened later, Liu Sansan was no longer in the mood to dwell on this. He stared at Jia Yucun with wide eyes and said, "Do you know what you are talking about? Can you say these words casually?"
Jia Yucun smiled bitterly and nodded: "If the official didn't know, he wouldn't come to a place like this to mess around!" Liu Sansan said with a serious look on his face: "What evidence do you have that Mr. Zhang Gong has embezzled the national grain reserves?"
Jia Yucun said firmly: "The official has conclusive evidence to prove the crime of Zhang Gong, the Minister of Household Affairs!" Then Jia Yucun told Liu Sansan what he saw and heard in Luobang, and Liu Sansan twirled his beard and pondered for a long time.
.
Jia Yucun was afraid that Liu Sansan wouldn't believe what he said, so he hurriedly said to Liu Sansan: "Everything Xiaguan said is true! If you don't believe it, you can go to the dock with me and check it out and you will know!"
In fact, Liu Sansan has already made a decision in his heart. No matter whether it is true or not, even if it is false, he cannot be blamed. Yan Guan is not guilty! As long as there is reasonable doubt, Yan Guan can investigate and collect evidence at any time.
It is the right given to us by Emperor Taizu Gao!
Besides, even if there is something true, the blame lies on Jia Shifei, the prefect of Jinling in front of me. What does it have to do with me?
The New Party is unkind, don’t blame me for being unjust! Why didn’t I see the New Party help me when I was knocking on the door? Now that someone in your New Party is in trouble, it’s no wonder that I don’t help! Individuals should just pursue their own future! Only when you are well
It’s really good!
Liu Sansan thought about it, and suddenly nodded in agreement: "That's fine! Since you are so sure, then I will go with you! But you have to know that falsely accusing an official of the government is a serious crime! If I report it to you,
However, the investigation found that this matter was a lie..."
Jia Yucun immediately patted his chest and promised: "Then I am willing to plead guilty and accept punishment!" Liu Sansan nodded with satisfaction, and then led his people to follow Jia Yucun.
In fact, Jia Yucun himself doesn't know whether this matter is true or not, but he has to shoot when the arrow is on the string, or he doesn't do it. As long as he does it, he has to be the first to believe it!
Besides, he actually still has some confidence...
Jia Yucun took Liu Sansan all the way back to his place of residence in Luobang. It was still early at this time, so Jia Yucun invited Liu Sansan to dinner and drinks. Wouldn't it be better to wait until the sky darkened to catch something?
When Liu Sansan heard this, he thought it was the same thing, so the two of them sat by the window drinking and chatting, letting their subordinates stare at them.
The relationship is actually progressing rapidly!
When it got dark, the little official who was watching them shouted: "Here we come!" The two people hurriedly got up and walked to the window to take a look. Sure enough, just like last night, there were still two large ships leaning on the shore.
Ten Luo gangs were carrying big boxes up there.
Jia Yucun whispered in Liu Sansan's ear: "Sir, in that box is the grain that was stolen and sold from the treasury!" Liu Sansan narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded: "Brother Yucun, it seems that you have done a great job today.
I’m determined!”
Jia Yucun quickly raised his hand and said: "I would like to be attached to you, sir!" Liu Sansan looked back at him and said with a smile: "Brother Yucun is too polite. If it is verified that these grains were stolen from the treasury, this will be a great achievement.
What a piece of work! It’s rare for you and I, brothers, to have such a great achievement twice in our lives! How can I dare to be greedy for it?"
When Jia Yucun heard this, he was so excited that his body trembled and he cupped his hands and said, "We are all doing things for your father! For the sake of the court's laws, Yucun will do whatever it takes!"
Liu Sansan nodded and said: "Brother Yucun, please!" Jia Yucun said hurriedly: "My lord, please!" Both of them were eager in their hearts and hurried towards the pier with others!
Liu Sansan and his men slowly surrounded the people from the Luo Gang. The people from the Luo Gang "belatedly" shouted: "Who is that person!"
Liu Sansan's eyes widened, and he shouted with trembling excitement: "Get them on me! Get them on me! Catch them!" A group of petty officials rushed forward carrying iron rulers and chains!
The Luo Gang people were here to work, and there was no one who could take advantage of them. They were pushed to the ground by these petty officials. Liu Sansan and Jia Yucun stepped forward excitedly. At this time, both of them were changing.
Wearing the official robe, he looks very majestic!
Liu Sansan said excitedly: "You, who of you is in charge?" Several members of the Luo Gang looked at each other, and then they all looked at one of the men. The man was panting heavily with his face pressed to the ground and said: "
This, this sir, I’m here! I don’t know, I don’t know why you stopped our brothers from working?”
Liu Sansan said in a deep voice: "You know it in your heart!" The man's eyes dodged for a moment, and he said with a guilty conscience: "Sir, what do you mean by this? I don't understand!"
Liu Sansan sneered, walked around him for a few steps and then said in a deep voice: "I want to ask you, what is in this box?" The man swallowed and said: "Goods."
Liu Sansan said angrily: "Nonsense! I don't know it's goods yet? I'm asking you what kind of goods it is! Who entrusted your goods! Where to send it! Tell me!"
The man swallowed, closed his eyes firmly and said, "I don't know! I'm just following orders!"
