Chapter Eighty-Eight: Seriously Wounded

When Emperor Yuan He was drafting the will to punish the magistrates involved in the northwest, Shaanxi reported according to the recital of the envoy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The content of the report is very different from what Bai Jue's servants said. According to the inspector, Bai Jue was killed by the displaced people, because he did not know when the relief grain from Jiangsu and Zhejiang could be delivered, so the amount of grain released was not much. The homeless people knew that Bai Jue was a messenger and thought that all this was his idea, so they vented their anger on him, causing Bai Jue to be beaten to death by the rebels. Attached to the report were also the testimony of the Xi'an government and the names of the troublemakers and murderers, and the main culprit and accomplice were clear and clear.

This time Yuan and Emperor were confused, and the testimonies on both sides were completely opposite, making it impossible for him to judge who was right and who was wrong. He asked Pei Minzhong to take the Bai family's servants out of the Jinyi Guard Office and take them to the Qianqing Palace, where he wanted to question again.

"The Bai Jue you said was killed by the magistrate, is there any evidence?" Emperor Yuan He asked.

The servant knelt on the ground tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice: "If you go back to the emperor, the villain has no evidence. It's just that my lord got this errand and is dedicated to serving the country, and there has been no major incident in the family recently. Those state officials and county officials are afraid that my lord will report to you that the granary is out of deficit, and they will use money to buy my lord, which is useless, so they want to kill people! ”

Emperor Yuan He frowned and said, "What about the evidence of the shortfall?" Do you have any accounts and numbers? ”

The servant kowtowed and said worriedly, "These villains don't have ...... When the villain saw that the old man had died strangely, he went to the yamen to express his grievances, but who knew that there was no one to pay attention to me. On the contrary, wherever the villain goes, someone follows him. Later, the government came again and snatched the old man's body. The villain felt a little scared, so he took the soft and ran to the capital. During the day, I only dare to take the main road, and at night I only dare to go to the shop in the big car shop next to the sleeping inn......"

The great eunuch Gao Quande saw that Emperor Yuanhe's expression was a little impatient, so he scolded: "I ask you if you have a deficit number, what are you doing with this?" ”

The servant hurriedly kowtowed and apologized: "The villain doesn't know, the villain doesn't know!" If the old man is not a little strange about this, the villain should stay in Xi'an Mansion, guard the old man's body, and wait for the family in the capital to come. Where can you go day and night like this, come back and beat the drum and voice the grievances! ”

Emperor Yuanhe groaned for a long time, and let the servants go down. He turned his head to Pei Minzhong and said, "Be careful, this matter is not trivial, and it is so unclear, so I can only send you to the northwest." ”

Pei Minzhong hurriedly knelt down to receive the order.

However, the disaster situation in the northwest is still ongoing, and the disaster relief affairs still need to be supervised. However, because Bai Jue died unexpectedly, in the face of Emperor Yuan He's inquiry, the officials retreated. In desperation, Emperor Yuanhe had to ask Chengengong to give him an idea, even if Chengengong had the idea of making the country difficult to make money at the beginning, the current Yuanhe Emperor couldn't take care of it much.

Cheng Engong was very proud, and felt that Bai Jue's death could be a warning to the officials in the court who were staring at their corruption. He sent his son, the prince of Chengen, to the northwest to clean up the mess over there.

In his previous life, he was in collusion with the officials of the Northwest Prefecture and died at the hands of the people during the rebellion. In this life, Bai Jue found out that the grain depot was empty, but he was still dead. Xuanhui was very stunned, and felt guilty that he had come up with an idea and killed Bai Jue. She felt very helpless, and she didn't know whether it was right or wrong for her to try to turn things around.

On the second day, Xuan Hui heard that Pei Minzhong had gone to the Qianqing Palace to bid farewell to Emperor Yuanhe, so he sent Cai Wei to invite him to the place where he met on weekdays.

Not long after, Pei Minzhong arrived, and when he saw Xuanhui's tired face, he couldn't help but feel distressed, and said, "Don't worry too much about me." No matter what, I have martial arts by my side, and Rong Zhen will follow me day and night, and it will be fine. ”

Xuanhui took out a sachet from his sleeve, handed it to him and said, "This is what I made last night, for you...... Make a thought. ”

Pei Minzhong took it and looked at it carefully, it was a pattern of peace and happiness, and a burst of warmth surged in his heart, and he carefully put the sachet close to his body.

"Although I am in the deep palace, I have heard a lot of news in the past few days. I don't know why Lord Bai died, but it's true that the Northwest granary is in deficit. After you arrive, you must investigate carefully, and don't be easily deceived by that corrupt official. ”

Pei Minzhong nodded and said, "I also have this calculation in my heart, although the Bai family servant can't come up with any evidence, but the shortfall he said is not something that a subordinate can make up." ”

Xuanhui said a little anxiously: "There is one more thing, you must listen to me!" When you get to the northwest, keep an eye out for a man named Wu Wengui, who is a smuggler of salt. If you find him mingling with the outcasts, then ...... Kill him! ”

When Pei Minzhong heard the word "kill", he was shocked, and when he looked at Xuanhui's eyes, he had the meaning of inquiry.

But Xuanhui's reason couldn't be said no matter what, so he had to say: "If you believe me, just do it, otherwise there will be endless harm in the future!" ”

Pei Minzhong was about to say something, but saw Jingyun hurrying into the courtyard from outside.

"Princess, prince!" She saluted indiscriminately, and then hurriedly said: "News from the Qianqing Palace, Cheng Guogong was plotted in front of the Fujian Array, was seriously injured, and is in danger!" ”

When Pei Minzhong heard this, his head "buzzed", and he almost didn't stand firm. Jingyun hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and then said: "It is said that the grandfather of the country played the emperor, and asked you to be recalled from the capital and go to Fujian to take over the 30,000 personal soldiers of the Chengguo Mansion. ”

Pei Minzhong calmed down, and then he eased up. He glanced at Xuanhui and said, "The matter is urgent, Weichen wants to go and ask the saint to understand, and Princess Rongchen will retire first." With that, he hurriedly saluted and left.

Xuanhui looked at his back, a little distracted. The disaster in the northwest, the war in the southeast, the killing of the Qincha, and the wounding of the national prince. In the court, traitors are in power, friends are fighting, such a big week, can it still be saved?

Emperor Yuanhe delayed until three days before finally issuing the will to send Pei Minzhong to Fujian to replace Chengguo Gong. The reason is simple, the 30,000 soldiers of the Chengguo Mansion are a rule handed down from the time of Taizu, and each commander must be the current Chengguo Gong.

However, some people coveted the wealth and military power of the Pei family in Jinling for a hundred years, and said to Emperor Yuanhe that these 30,000 soldiers were like the private soldiers of the Chengguo Mansion, and finally the Pei family was not the Great Zhou, and suggested that the emperor take the opportunity to withdraw the military power and send another general to command.

Moreover, Chengguogong's situation is critical, and Pei Minzhong is a hairy boy who has not yet reached the crown, if he loses, the southeast will definitely be in chaos. As the financial and tax center and rice and grain warehouse of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, if the southeast is in chaos, it will not be far from the death of the country. (To be continued.) )
