Cheng Dong walked very fast, and Cheng Yi trotted all the way to the door before catching up with Cheng Dong. She pulled Cheng Dong's clothes and shouted, "Xiao Dong, what are you doing!"
Cheng Dong turned around and said, "Sister, I advise you to leave here too and stop being with people like Su Hao."
"Why? Why can't you tolerate him?" Cheng Yi asked.
Cheng Dong said: "The ancients said that Han and traitors cannot stand together! How can I, an upright scholar, associate with the eunuchs?"
"He is not a eunuch!" Cheng Yi explained in vain. Just now in her parents' mourning hall, she slapped Cheng Dong out of extreme anger. Now that the anger has subsided, she was asked to say anything to Cheng Dong.
It's hard to speak harsh words. Although she can be considered someone who has read some books, she is still far behind Cheng Dong. When it comes to speaking truth, she is definitely not Cheng Dong's opponent.
"Sister, one day, I will let you see through his true colors." Cheng Dong said and strode away. He knew that he could not pull his sister away, not to mention that he had just walked on
He didn't have much power in his official career, and he couldn't take care of his sister. Therefore, since Cheng Yi was willing to stay with Su Hao, he didn't bother to say anything else.
"Xiaodong, Xiaodong!" Cheng Yi shouted several times at Cheng Dong's back. Suddenly her vision went dark and her body fell backwards involuntarily. Fortunately, the singer heard about this and hurried over.
He supported Cheng Yi.
"Sister Cheng Yi, what's wrong with you?" the singer called.
"Xiaodong...he's gone." Cheng Yi murmured with tears.
"This white-eyed wolf, just leave as soon as you leave!" the singer cursed heartlessly.
"I originally thought that with Xia Shushen's incident, he should be able to know who Xueshi Su is. I also hope that he and Xueshi Su can resolve their differences. Who knows..."
"Sister Cheng Yi, I told you not to worry about it. I have seen many people like your brother. They just think that they are the most correct in the world and look down on anyone else. You can't expect this kind of people at all.
It's no use trying to reason with them. Fortunately, now that he has grown up and I heard he has become an official, you don't have to worry about him anymore. Just stay by Mr. Su's side." Song Ling said.
.
Cheng Yi said: "Xiaodong treats Xuexi Su like this, how can I stay here? Singer, do you think I should resign from Xuexi Su and go back to my hometown to farm for a living?"
The singer said: "Sister Cheng Yi, don't you want to abandon Mr. Su after listening to your bastard brother?"
"Of course not. Mr. Su has treated me with great kindness, how dare I have such thoughts?" Cheng Yi said, "I just feel shameless to stay any longer."
The singer said: "You are really confused. Since you think Mr. Su has been kind to you, you should stay and repay the favor. Mr. Su is short of manpower now. You are so capable. Resigning at this time is not to undermine Mr. Su.
Taiwan?"
"This..." Cheng Yi was at a loss for words. She was so preoccupied with thinking about the conflict between Cheng Dong and Su Hao that she forgot that she was still Su Hao's right-hand man. As the singer said, if she resigned at this time, it would really be a bit of trouble.
mean.
"Sister Cheng Yi, you have done your duty as a sister by bringing up your bastard brother. From now on, he will follow his Yangguan Road and you will follow your single-plank bridge. The two of you have nothing to do with each other. Mr. Su
It's good for you, I think..." When the singer said this, there was a hint of joking on her face.
"What do you think?" Cheng Yi asked.
The singer put her mouth close to Cheng Yi's ear and said, "I think you should just become Master Su's concubine, so that you have someone to entrust you with in your life..."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Cheng Yi's face suddenly turned as red as the morning glow. He raised his fist and was about to hit the singer to cover up his shyness. The singer had already expected this. After finishing the previous sentence, people were stunned.
She had already jumped a few steps away. Cheng Yi rushed towards the singer, but the singer turned around and ran away. The two girls ran back to the backyard laughing.
"Well, as the saying goes, one woman is equal to 500 ducks. These two women are really more noisy than 1,000 ducks." Su Hao shook his head helplessly as he witnessed the scene of the two girls fighting.
The news brought back by Cheng Dong was not able to reverse the situation of the Runing nest case. Su Hao used a lot of conspiracies and tricks when arresting the suspects. These things were considered treason in the eyes of the officials, but for Wang Xijue
, to old foxes like Wang Jiaping, they are nothing. In public, of course they have to show off their righteousness and so on, but many years of political experience tell them that it is impossible to achieve anything without conspiracy. Su Hao
Faced with such a complex situation, being able to find a unique approach and open up the situation is an outstanding performance.
"I never expected that such bad things would happen under Xiaguan's rule. Thanks to Su Xueshi's clear insight and the decisiveness of the two cabinet elders, the Anihilators were finally brought to justice, and millions of people were spared from ruin. Xiaguan was deceived by the Anihilators, and some
If you bear the Holy Grace, when this matter comes to an end, your subordinates will ask for your resignation from the Holy One to take the blame for their sins."
In the court where the imperial envoy camped, Liu Qichang, the prefect of Runing, faced the two cabinet bachelors Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping with a look of shame on his face. The case at the previous stage had been concluded, and a large group of merchants, powerful people and powerful men who participated in harming the people were involved in the trial.
All the prefecture and county officials who colluded were put into prison cars and will be taken back to the capital within a few days to await severe punishment. Liu Qichang quickly removed himself from the case as soon as he saw that the situation was not good, and he flatly denied that he had anything to do with it.
Huguang Bank and other unscrupulous merchants are involved, but they only say that they were deceived and only bear the responsibility for negligence.
"Prefect Liu's words are serious." Wang Xijue coughed lightly and said, "No one is a saint, so how can he be without fault? These methods of annihilating people and harming the people are also extremely hidden. It is inevitable that Prefect Liu will not be able to see through it for a while. This resignation
There is no need to mention it again."
Seeing that Wang Xijue wanted to excuse himself, Liu Qichang quickly continued Wang Xijue's words and said: "Old Wangge Mingjian, I have also seen that the people of Runing are living a hard life, and I hope to win over more businessmen to provide some benefits for the people. Who knows?"
These merchants actually violated Xiaguan's policies. Xiaguan really did something wrong with good intentions. However, regardless of Xiaguan's original intention, since he has done something wrong, he should be punished, and this is something Xiaguan is willing to do."
"It's good that Magistrate Liu has such a sense of self-blame. Magistrate Liu still needs to take responsibility for the affairs of Runing Mansion. You can't give up halfway." Wang Xijue said. When he said this, he seemed to have thought of something unintentionally.
, asked Liu Qichang: "By the way, Prefect Liu, I remember that the year before last, the Runing Prefecture reported to the court that it was experiencing a severe drought that had not been seen in a century, and 80% of the fields had no harvest, and begged the court for relief. How was the matter handled?"
"The year before last..." Liu Qichang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Wu Boxing, who was sitting next to him. The Ministry of Household Affairs has always been responsible for disaster relief, and it was Wu Boxing, the Ministry of Household Affairs, who escorted relief grains to Runing the year before last.
Mr. Zuo. As for the whereabouts of that batch of relief food, there are a lot of tricks in it. Naturally, this cannot be mentioned to Wang Xijue and others.
"At that time, the imperial court allocated 100,000 dans of grain to provide relief to the victims. Wu Shilang knew this best." Liu Qichang said in an evasive manner.
Wu Boxing nodded and said to Wang Xijue: "Master Wang, the Ministry of Revenue did allocate 100,000 tons of grain to Runing the year before last. It was delivered by the lower official in person and signed by Magistrate Liu."
"Oh, 100,000 tons...where are those grains?" Wang Xijue had a smile on his face, as if chatting, but the sharpness in his words made Liu Qichang break into a cold sweat.
"Of course the food will be distributed to the victims." Liu Qichang replied bravely.
"Oh? Are you sure, Governor Liu?" Wang Xijue pressed forward step by step.
Liu Qichang felt a chill in his heart. Wang Xijue was obviously well-prepared when he asked this question. If he answered wrongly, Wang Xijue might catch a loophole, which would not end well.
Where did that batch of grain go? Liu Qichang himself knew best. After receiving the 100,000 dans of grain from Wu Boxing, he only took out 20,000 dans of grain and distributed it symbolically, and the remaining 80,000 dans were transferred directly to
It was given to a merchant named Fushan Grain Company. It was a time of great disaster and grain was more expensive than gold. With these 80,000 tons of grain, Fushan Grain Company obtained land from tens of thousands of farmers in exchange.
This time, the Fushan Grain Store was also raided by soldiers from the survey camp, and many account books fell into Su Hao's hands. However, Liu Qichang believed that Su Hao could not see anything out of those account books. There was nothing on the grain.
Mark, there is no difference between the grain purchased by the Grain Bank itself and the grain sent by the court for disaster relief. Why can Su Hao conclude that Liu Qichang transferred the disaster relief grain to the Grain Bank?
Liu Qichang pretended to be reminiscing, and quickly recalled the whole incident in his mind. After making sure that there were no flaws, he replied: "Go back to Wang Ge Lao, these 100,000 tons of grain will naturally
It is impossible for the lower officials to distribute all the grains. After the grains are collected by each state and county, the officials of the prefectures and counties distribute them to the people. As for... whether you are sure or not, the lower official believes that there may be corruption and embezzlement in some counties and counties.
But as far as the entire Runing Mansion is concerned, these grains should be distributed."
"To distribute relief food, the district chief must sign for it, and the prefectures and counties must collect the receipt books for future reference. Prefect Liu only needs to issue an order to ask the prefectures and counties to submit the books for that year for inspection." Wu Boxing reminded slowly from the side.
road.
"What Shilang Wu said is absolutely true," Liu Qichang said. "In fact, the official inspected those books at the beginning and also asked some village chiefs. They all said that what was recorded in the books was true. If Mr. Wang Ge has any doubts about this matter,
Your Majesty will have the books of all states and counties collected for inspection by Mr. Wang Ge." (To be continued.)
