Chapter 174: Rumors

Waiting for the person who went to investigate to come back, Zhou Yu was also waiting. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"See the prince, princess." The inquiring person came in and saw that Zhou Yu was also there, so he knelt on one leg and saluted.

"Get up and speak." Usually, Nangong Luo himself doesn't care much about this, but he asks them to salute Zhou Yu.

"Yes." The person who came got up, "Lord Qiqi, princess, no one spoke when receiving the porridge today, because the official spoke, if anyone speaks, from today onwards, they will not be able to come to receive the porridge in the future." So none of them dared to speak. ā€

"Why don't you let me talk?" Zhou Yu asked.

"Back to the princess, their porridge today is the best. It used to be very thin, not enough of a grade. ā€

"How rare?" Zhou Yu was curious.

"It is said that it can shine on people, but occasionally it will be a little better, but it does not reach the lowest level." When the people came to see Zhou Yu's question, he answered carefully.

"Oh, no matter how rare it is, you can live next to it. If they say it, they won't be allowed to take it, and they won't be able to live. "Where do people who survive by receiving porridge dare to speak!

Zhou Yu suddenly thought of four words: "Born from the heart". Perhaps this is the truest portrayal of that prefectural order.

"Is there any evidence?"

"Yes."

Now that it was clear and there was evidence, Nangong Luo ordered the arrest of this corrupt official and raided his home. At this time, Zhou Yu and Nangong Luo found out that he had a wife and six concubines. The warehouses were full of grain. Obviously, he moved the official food to his own house.

Then, Nangong Luo wrote a memora and asked the emperor to send another county order. During this time, the county will act as the agent for the county's affairs.

It's just that the food in the county order's family has been moved out, and it is still a lot less, and the normal amount of porridge is not enough for half a year. In this case, Zhou Yu naturally left a lot of food.

In this way, all the way, whether it is a clean official or a corrupt official, as long as they arrive in a county, Nangong Luo and Zhou Yu will inevitably have to investigate, and if there is not enough food, the corrupt officials will be punished. On the contrary, the primary officialdom was rectified.

However, secrecy is basically empty talk if it is on a large scale. Just like Zhou Yu, he kept food everywhere, although he told the county order or the person who handed over it to keep it secret, but the matter still spread.

Of course, the emperor was the first to know.

"Your Majesty, the rumors outside are not the same. It is said that the king of Qi and the princess of Qi are simply living bodhisattvas who save the suffering. They didn't know that it was the emperor's benevolence! ā€

"Yes, I only know the King of Qi, and even the Princess of Qi, but I don't know the emperor!"

"Isn't it terrible to go on like this!"

"Could it be that King Qi has any thoughts?" I didn't dare to say it clearly.

Even so, the emperor was sitting high on the ground, and his face was already darkened. What mind? Want to sit in this chair?

The Queen Mother also heard these rumors, and called the emperor after the court.

"Is this true?"

"Probably not. The rumors are not credible. "The emperor is holding on, he doesn't want the queen mother to worry.

However, knowing the son is Mo Ruomu. The Queen Mother knew when she saw the emperor's face, and the emperor also believed it a little. I can't say that I believe it all, but I believe it five points.

"Xiao Qi, I shouldn't have this thought." The Queen Mother pondered for a while before speaking.

"The Queen Mother?" When the emperor heard this, he looked at the queen mother incredulously.

"Listen to me first." The Queen Mother patted the emperor's hand.

"Queen Mother, please speak."

"Xiao Qi grew up beside me since I was a child. Although the royal family has no family affection, this kind of surrogate support is even more vulnerable. However, when I was a child, I can still see some of the trends when I grow up. I don't think so. The Queen Mother concluded.

There is no need for the Queen Mother to say the specifics, usually, their mother and son have discussed it many times. Otherwise, the emperor would not have handed over Dunjiatang to Nangong Luo with confidence.

However, since when did this trust change? Although the previous trust was also with strong scrutiny.

"Well, I understand. Those who provoke also want to take the opportunity to take the position. "Of course, the emperor will not be easily swayed by them, otherwise it would be impossible for Nangong Luo to be the hall master of Dunjia Hall smoothly all these years.

"If only you understood." The Queen Mother felt that she was a little worried and redundant, after all, there have always been many people who want to kick Nangong Luo away, but they have not succeeded, "However, their food ......"

"The lord of Minfu is a landlord at home, and he has a grain store, but he has a lot of grain. This time they donated a lot, but they couldn't have donated all of them. What was left behind, in addition to eating at home, may have brought some all the way north. ā€

The emperor said that these are also lacking in confidence, and this is the case. The people of Dunjia Hall have already reported to him. However, the food left behind along the way is not a little bit. How did they get there?

"How can a small landlord have so much grain?" The Queen Mother also thought of this, "Haven't they sold grain all these years?" ā€

"It is said that the food in their store is all new grain." The emperor was also puzzled.

"What is the purpose of saving so much food?" The Queen Mother said to herself, "If there is an ulterior motive, it is impossible to take it out." Now that it's taken out, what is it going to achieve? ā€

"Buying people's hearts!" The emperor said suddenly.

"Buying people's hearts? That's right! The Queen Mother suddenly realized.

"Now he doesn't have many people in his hands, so let's make a fuss about people's hearts first?" The emperor said.

……

The queen mother and the emperor thought a lot about it, but Zhou Yu and Nangong Luo were talking about rectifying the affairs of the officials.

"Since ancient times, there have been endless corrupt officials, and when the water is clear, there are no fish, there is really no absolute integrity." Nangong Luo said.

That's a wise saying. You summed it up really to the point. Zhou Yu boasted.

"It's not that I summed it up," Nangong Luo smiled, "Father used to say that back then. ā€

"Then condone these corrupt officials? We have also arrested corrupt officials, shouldn't we arrest them? ā€

"Catch still have to catch. It's just that I don't know if the emperor is willing to do this. ā€

"The whole world belongs to the emperor, he must be willing."

"Yes, yes, yes, but it should still be done under the emperor's will. We don't know what the consequences will be! Nangong Luo didn't regret it, but he had a headache about the recent tense relationship between the emperor and himself.

Zhou Yu saw Nangong Luo's unhappiness and hugged him directly. At this time, it was late at night, and the two were lying on the bed chatting. Zhou Yu's move made Nangong Luo's body stiffen, and then hugged Zhou Yu back.

"It's late at night, go to sleep."

"Hmm." Zhou Yu was melancholy, she originally wanted to use another way, but Nangong Luo just said such a sentence, could it be that she didn't express it enough obviously?

The fatigue of the day, coupled with the investigation in the middle of the night, Zhou Yu was indeed tired, and fell asleep after a while.

Nangong Luo sighed softly, didn't he understand, it's just that he was tired every day, and he couldn't bear to make her more tired.
