Chapter 53: Complicity

 Du Ning looked at Wang Run and said: "I dare to ask Mr. Wang, has the Yamen found out the clues to the corruption case in Hedao Mansion?"

Wang Run responded with a smile: "This case is complicated and cannot be investigated clearly in three or two days. Please give the Yamen a little more time. After the Yamen finds out the truth, I will give you a satisfactory explanation."



"Complex? How complicated is it?"

Du Ning said disapprovingly: "Many folks from Nanping Prefecture have gone to see the river embankment. All the materials used for construction are of inferior quality. Just go to Hedao Prefecture and check the account books. Is it because Hedao Prefecture is embezzling money or is the river workers maliciously cutting corners?

It is clear at a glance that even if a false account is made, there will definitely be clues to be found."

"Master Du is right. As long as you check the account books, even if you can't find out the truth, you can still find some clues."

"Does the Yamen still have to spend so many days checking the old accounts of Hedao Mansion?"

"It's just that such a clear case should take so many days to investigate. This is obviously against common sense."

The students of Hanyi Club all cast suspicious eyes on Wang Run.

Wang Run still looked as normal and said slowly: "When it comes to evidence, it is impossible for the Yamen to convict Hedao Mansion based on your one-sided words."

Li Changsheng said displeased: "Listening to Mr. Wang's tone, do you not believe that Hedao Mansion is corrupt and perverting the law?"

"Without evidence, why do you say others have taken bribes and violated the law?" Wang Run asked.

"So we hope that the Yamen will investigate the truth of the matter as soon as possible, instead of just dragging it out for a day and ignoring it." Du Ning said bluntly.

"Presumptuous!"

Wang Run slapped the desk and said in a deep voice: "Master Du, this is the Yamen. You have to pay attention to the attitude of your words. Are you doubting the Yamen!"

Du Ning said: "I can tell you that we are not doubting the Yamen, but believing that the Yamen is protecting Hedao Mansion. Otherwise, why would the Yamen still find nothing after searching for so many days?"

"Bold!"

Wang Run became angry because Du Ning was too bold. This was in the Yamen, but he dared to say anything without any taboo.

"Mr. Du, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. You can be disrespectful to Wang, but you can't insult the yamen or the court. This is disrespectful." Wang Runyin said with a stern face.

"Insult? Haha..."

Du Ning sneered, "The Yamen has been investigating the Hedao Mansion case for so many days, but there is still no news at all. Such an incompetent Yamen is the greatest insult to the imperial court!"

"Enough!"

Wang Run was furious, and Du Ning even scolded the Yamen for being incompetent. Wasn't he just scolding his father, Wang Yang, for being incompetent? It's disgusting to accuse Sang and Huai!

"Wang has been tolerant to you again and again. Don't push your nose and face. Du Ning, don't be too presumptuous!" Wang Run scolded.

"Even if Mr. Du is presumptuous, it's not your turn to teach me a lesson. I'm the seventh-grade Viscount. Who do you think you are!"

Du Ning raised his head slightly, showing his official authority, looking at Wang Run as if he was condescending.

Wang Run is the son of Wang Yang, but he has not entered the official position and has no formal official position.

Therefore, in terms of status, Du Ning can completely crush Wang Run.

"You... how dare you insult me ​​like this!"

Wang Run was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He once despised the existence of Du Ning, a poor student, but now he was ridiculed by Du Ning.

It’s so infuriating and hateful!

Li Changsheng said: "Since the Yamen can't find out the reason, you might as well ask the Yamen to delegate the power to Mr. Du to investigate. He has a title. Under special circumstances, his title seal can be used in the Yamen to carry out the seventh-grade official position."

."

Wang Run's expression changed drastically. He didn't expect that Li Changsheng would make such a suggestion.

If the yamen delegates the power to Du Ning to investigate, what's the point? Many things that shouldn't be discovered will definitely be discovered.

By then, the Yamen will not be able to keep Hedao Mansion.

Once the affairs of Hedao Mansion are exposed, it will be difficult for the Eight Sages to earn the position of crown prince.

When the time comes, the officials of Hedao Prefecture will not have a good end, and most officials in the yamen will also be implicated.

This is what Wang Run doesn’t want to see.

So, Wang Run hurriedly said: "No! Although Mr. Du has a title, there is currently no vacancy for a seventh-rank official in the yamen, so he cannot seize the official position in the yamen."

Du Ning said: "I think Brother Li's suggestion is good. Since the Yamen has investigated so many Tianhe Daofu and can't find out the reason, they can only ask me to intervene in the investigation. As long as I don't use power for personal gain, the court will have no reason."

Object."

Wang Run looked a little ugly and said: "It's ridiculous. There are so many officials in the yamen, and it's not your turn as a layman to point fingers. Wouldn't it make the world laugh at me that there is no one in the yamen? And to take a step back, even if Mr. Du investigates,

It may not be effective."

"No matter how incompetent I am, I will never leave such a big case and ignore it like the officials in the yamen. Don't think that all of us can't see it. You are just pretending, but in fact, you have not investigated anything."

Du Ning's eyes were like swords.

"Nonsense!"

Wang Run jumped up and said angrily: "Master Du, what are your intentions in slandering the Yamen again and again? Don't rely on your title to slander people here. I, Wang, am also a scholar. If you

If you dare to make a mistake, Wang decided to ask the court to revoke your title!"

The air is filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Li Changsheng and others' expressions darkened. If Wang Run petitioned the court to expel Du Ning from his title, he would definitely gain the support of the Wise King Party.

"Do you dare to ask?"

Du Ning had a look of contempt on his face, not taking Wang Run's threat seriously at all.

There must be a reason for Wang Run to ask the court to expel Du Ning from his title. If Du Ning has slandered the Yamen and the court, it is not a trivial matter and must be investigated and verified.

I'm just afraid that the imperial court will send someone to investigate, and accidentally the Hedao Mansion's embezzlement of money and silver will be found out.

"If Mr. Du dares to act recklessly again, Wang will not be polite!" Wang Run said righteously.

Du Ning was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Master Wang, we are not here to argue with you today. We just want to know whether you have found anything in the Hedao Mansion case. Please tell the truth."

"This matter is of great importance, how can the Yamen reveal it to others easily?" Wang Run said arrogantly.

"But we are the ones complaining!" Du Ning shouted angrily.

Wang Run avoided Du Ning's eyes and said, "Master Du, don't worry. After the Yamen finds out the truth, it will definitely give justice to the people of Nanping Mansion."

"Haha!"

Du Ning looked at Wang Run and his sneer became even stronger: "The yamen has been delaying such a major case again and again. I'm afraid the prefect didn't take away the money from the Hedao Prefecture, right?"

Wang Run's face changed and he shouted angrily: "Shut up! You can insult me, but you can't insult my father!"

"The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Hedao Prefecture is directly under the control of the yamen. If there is no support from the prefect, does Hedao Prefecture dare to embezzle money? Do Hedao officials in various counties dare to embezzle money?"

Du Ning said fiercely: "You are all scholars, and you are all scholars who came out of Jieying Society. Even if you are paid by the imperial court, you should share the worries of the imperial court, but you did not expect that your yamen and Hedao Mansion are colluding and collaborating. You are simply a disgrace to scholars!"



"Du Ning!"

"You are too presumptuous!"

Wang Run was so angry that he gritted his teeth. As a son of a powerful man, it was a shame to be accused like this by Du Ning.

"Yes, that's right, Mr. Du, you are right!"

Wang Run laughed angrily and said loudly: "Our Yamen and Hedao Mansion just embezzled money from the imperial court, so what? What can you do to us?"

"You are a seventh-grade Viscount and a scholar with no real power. Why do you use chicken feathers as arrows to show off your power in front of me? What are you pretending to be!"

"This is the Yamen, the Yamen of the imperial court, not your shabby Hanyi Society. You will not be allowed to act recklessly here!"

"If you are dissatisfied, you can report to the court at any time!"

When Wang Run said this, a crazy smile appeared in his eyes.

Li Changsheng and others looked ugly. During this period, they frequently conveyed memorials to the court.

But after those memorials were sent out, there was no response.

Nine times out of ten, they were all detained by officials from the Xian Wang Party and pushed to the bottom of the desk.

If you want to spread it to the court, I'm afraid you have to wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.

It can be seen that they will suppress this matter at all costs.

As time goes by, it will naturally stop.

Big things are reduced to trivial matters. This is what the government is best at doing.

Du Ning stood up from his seat and said to Wang Run: "Master Wang, listen carefully, I am not discussing with you now, but I am telling you very seriously that within three days, I will see the Yamen investigate

The results of the two cases of embezzlement of black money in Hedao Prefecture."

"It's ridiculous! Du Ning, who do you think you are? How dare you act so recklessly in the Yamen? What if after three days, the Yamen doesn't give you the results of the investigation of the case? What can you do?"

Wang Run showed a sarcastic smile, not taking Du Ning's last advice seriously at all, and even found it very ridiculous.

"After three days, if Nanping Mansion still doesn't give the people justice, Du promises that you will pay the price you deserve." Du Ning said seriously.

"Haha...haha..."

"It's ridiculous! It's ridiculous!"

"This is simply the most ridiculous joke I, Wang Run, have ever heard in my life!"

Wang Run laughed heartily. He laughed at Du Ning for not overestimating his own abilities, at Du Ning for being arrogant, and even laughed at Du Ning for daring to threaten him.

Make them pay the price they deserve? Just for a mere Dunin?

This is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world.

"Young Master Wang, let me stress it one last time. Please remember what I said. We will come again in three days. Farewell."

After Du Ning finished speaking, he left the Yamen with Li Changsheng and others.

"Okay! After three days, I want to see what you can do to make us pay the price!"

Wang Run looked disapproving.

After hearing this sentence, everyone knew that it was impossible for the Yamen to investigate the truth about the corruption case in Hedao Mansion.
