However, even if official A said so, he still couldn't help but be a little worried in his heart. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, Shen Zhu is a well-known expert in investigating cases among the people.

Officer B comforted: "Don't worry, only a few of us who handle it know, and he can't find evidence." He added: "Take 10,000 steps back, even if he finds evidence, as long as we don't admit it, he can't bear us." At that time, we can also accuse him of false accusations in turn, isn't it just the right opportunity to get rid of this thorn in the eye? ”

said the same, everyone suddenly calmed down a lot.

Wu Bailong took a deep breath and said, "Then let's pretend that we don't know anything now, and go back to the governor first." ”

The officials nodded.

The group walked back to the governor's yamen.

When they returned to the gate of the yamen, they happened to meet Shen Zhu and Zhixian, who had come to meet the prince.

Wu Bailong's face suddenly fell.

Seeing this, the magistrate hurriedly bent down and saluted: "The lower official knocks to see the governor!" ”

Wu Bailong snorted coldly, and said solemnly: "Why did Lord Lin come to the governor so late?" ”

The magistrate replied softly: "There is something I want to see Your Highness." ”

"Your Highness has been tired for a day, and he must have rested at this moment, so tell me directly if you have anything." Wu Bailong Road.

Shen Zhu, who was standing next to the magistrate, answered: "It was His Royal Highness who specified that he wanted to see the magistrate of the county. ”

"Who are you?" Officer A pretended to be ignorant and asked.

"In the next Shen Zhu." Neither humble nor arrogant answer.

"Who is Shen Zhu? This is the governor and does not receive idle people. Officer B said impatiently.

"It is also indicated by His Highness to see it." Shen Zhu replied calmly, and said to the magistrate: "Let's go in quickly, so that His Highness will have to wait for a long time." ”

Zhixian nodded, and walked quickly past Wu Bailong.

Wu Bailong glanced at Shen Zhu angrily and followed in.

When they entered the yamen, they found that the crown prince Zhao Yuliang was sitting upright on the chair where the governor used to sit on errands, with a calm face and eyes like eagles.

They hurriedly saluted Zhao Yuliang.

"Who is Shen Zhu?" Zhao Yuliang asked.

Immediately, a burly and dignified young man came out of the crowd and saluted Zhao Yuliang respectfully: "The little one is."

Zhao Yuliang stared at him for a while and said, "Tell me what you want to sue." ”

"Yes," Shen Zhu recounted what he had been following them in the past few days: "The grass people learned that a large amount of disaster relief money and grain would be transported from the official road of Tianpeng County today, so the grass people disguised themselves as an old man and went to Tianpeng County early yesterday morning, and then followed this team of money and silver all the way back. At noon today, the group stopped for a while on the observation path in Fengxue Town, during which the two leading people suddenly retreated from all their companions. When the group set off again, there were thirty more bags of rice on the cart, but there were three less wooden boxes for the money on the cart carrying the money and grain......

Wu Bailong and the others were secretly surprised.

How did this kid know about these things?

But we must not let him talk any more.

So Wu Bailong shouted: "It's just nonsense." Then he turned to the prince and saluted: "Your Highness, there are receipts for the receipt and dispatch of this batch of goods, if Your Highness does not believe us, you can send someone to count the physical goods on the spot." ”

Zhao Yuliang glanced at him with a smile and said, "Master Wu, don't worry, let's listen to Shen Zhu first and then make a decision." After saying that, he smiled and said to Shen Zhu, "You continue." ”

Wu Bailong said solemnly: "Shen Zhu, this is in front of His Highness, you have to know the severity of your speech." ”

"It's nature." Shen Zhu's face did not change, then he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and said to Zhao Yuliang: "Your Highness, this is the signature of the Tianpeng County Aid Station when handing over the money and grain. ”

After that, he handed it over to Zhao Yuliang.

Zhao Yuliang saw that there was a clear list of goods on it, and at the bottom of the form, there were the signatures and fingerprints of the two issuers.

Wu Bailong and his comrades were immediately terrified.

The one that signed the certificate showed that it had been secretly destroyed after they signed it, how could it fall into Shen Zhu's hands?

No, this is unlikely, Shen Zhu must have forged the data, thinking of this, Wu Bailong regained some confidence, he ordered someone to take out another piece of paper, and said to the crown prince Zhao Yuliang: "Your Highness, this is the correct signature, it has the autographs of several people in charge of inspection and delivery at the Tianpeng County Aid Station." ”

With that, he immediately handed the paper to the prince.

The crown prince Zhao Yuliang also took it and looked at it.

The issuer was the same two people, and the handprints were the same, but the content was just as Shen Zhu said—thirty more bags of rice, and three less wooden boxes containing money.

The prince understood everything at once, but he didn't express his position immediately, but asked Shen Zhu: "How did you get this piece of paper?" ”

Shen Zhu replied: "The little one secretly hid in a corner of the room when they handed over yesterday, and immediately followed the person in charge of inspection and delivery at the aid station into the room on the side after the handover procedures were completed, and when they were about to burn the paper, he knocked them unconscious from behind with a stick, and then got the paper......"

This is the strongest evidence that they falsified the list and number of money and food.

Wu Bailong and his group immediately panicked, and hurriedly knelt down towards the prince and begged for mercy.

The crown prince still looked like Mount Tai was collapsing and not moving, and said in a calm voice that made people's hearts tremble: "When the people are suffering from disasters, you are fighting the idea of disaster relief money and food, what is the difference between this and jackals, tigers and leopards? ”

"Your Highness, I didn't start this matter, we were also instructed by Governor Wu." Officer B hurriedly said.

Wu Bailong pointed at him and scolded: "Okay, you Lin Dieqiu, do you dare to say that you didn't come up with this idea first?" ”

Seeing them scolding fiercely, the prince only felt a chill in his heart, and said coldly: "Tie up a few of them." ”

Immediately, fifteen people came forward with ropes and tied up a total of six people, including Wu Bailong, Officer A, and Officer B.

Zhao Yuliang ordered people to rush to Tianpeng County overnight to arrest the two issuers who conspired with this matter.

"After the two people from Tianpeng County were also arrested, they were escorted to Beijing to see the emperor, and the emperor personally disposed of it." The crown prince said to the local officials surnamed Jiang and wrote a personal letter to the emperor.

Wu Bailong and his group were busy kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Zhao Yuliang said to the people on the left and right as if he hadn't heard: "Put them in prison first." ”

After they were escorted away, Zhao Yuliang ordered someone to write a notice on the disposal of these corrupt officials, and instructed his subordinates to post this notice at the city gate to inform the local people.

Then, Zhao Yuliang left Shen Zhu behind and said, "You helped the imperial court eradicate a group of corrupt officials, thank you!" ”

Shen Zhu hurriedly said: "This is what the small one should do." ”

"How old are you?" Zhao Yuliang asked again.

"Back to Your Highness, it's nineteen this year."

Zhao Yuliang smiled: "This palace is the same age as you." He also asked: "Are you interested in entering Beijing for scientific research?" ”

"The little ones originally planned to take the township exam this fall, but because their parents died in the earthquake, the little ones planned to keep the system for them first, and then take the exam after the expiration of the defense system."

That would be three years later.

Zhao Yuliang tapped lightly on the table with his right hand, closed his eyes and pondered.

After a while, Zhao Yuliang opened his eyes and said: "Filial piety is not confined to the form, and your fame is also a way to fulfill filial piety." ”

Shen Zhu understood what he meant, but after the earthquake, Shen Zhu's home was gone, and the family's money and silver were naturally gone, and now the neighbors and relatives have also suffered heavy losses, and I am afraid that they will not be able to borrow it. He was embarrassed to tell the prince about this.

Zhao Yuliang suddenly changed his words and asked, "When did you start studying?" What books did you read? ”

Shen Zhu answered truthfully one by one.

Zhao Yuliang took a few more questions for him and asked him his views on the current situation.

Shen Zhu replied calmly one by one.

After listening to Shen Zhu's answer, Zhao Yuliang's heart had a bottom, and said: "This palace suggests that you start to participate in this year's township test after handling your parents' funeral affairs properly, and don't postpone it until three years later." ”
