Chapter 140: Disaster Relief
"Sedum, is this really true?"
Putting the fold down, Emperor Tianshui's face was solemn.
In fact, the reason why he was so serious, in addition to Zhou Xiaohu's matter, was also mentioned in the compromise, the Minister of Disaster Relief actually had a relationship with Situ Jingxuan, and there was evidence that part of the disaster relief money was sent to the Second Prince's Mansion.
What's more, when Zhou Xiaohu was mentioned in the compromise, he also mentioned his identity as the three tyrants of Tianshui, which made Emperor Tianshui very worried.
"Back to his father, Zhou Xiaohu's robbery of people's daughters is true, on the morning of the same day, Erchen and Zhong Feizhong, the deputy general, returned from suppressing bandits, and they saw Zhou Xiaohu blackmailing and molesting Wan'er girls on the street in the market.
Maybe it was because he saw the people in the patrol camp in Beijing, so Zhou Xiaohu let go of Zhou Yan and Wan'er, father and daughter. Erchen thought that this matter was over, but he didn't expect to meet Xie Tian, the captain of the patrol camp, again at night. ”
After a pause, seeing that Emperor Tianshui was listening carefully, Situ Jingtian continued.
It was from Xie Tian's mouth that Erchen knew that Zhou Yan's daughter, Miss Wan'er, suddenly disappeared around noon.
Later, at midnight, someone saw two people coming out of the back door of the Guozhang Mansion, secretly carrying a roll of straw mats, and heading straight for the mass grave outside the city.
After receiving the news, the patrol battalion sent people to the mass grave to find the straw mat, and found that a woman's corpse was rolled inside. Later, Zhou Yan identified that it was his missing daughter Wan'er. ”
"Well, I didn't expect that Zhou Zichuan, as the national abbot, would be so unable to teach his son, and let Zhou Xiaohu do so evil."
Shaking his head gently, Emperor Tianshui looked at Situ Jingtian.
"You're right, Zhou Zichuan's original name is indeed called Zhou Chuan, I really didn't expect that this thing would be like this.
Alas, this is also the reason why I didn't talk about it directly in the court, Zhou Zichuan is the national abbot after all, and some things really can't be known to too many people! ”
Since Emperor Tianshui did not tell Zhou Xiaohu about robbing the people's daughters and killing people in the last dynasty, Situ Jingtian understood what he meant. It seems that this Concubine Lan is indeed very important in the minds of Emperor Tianshui, so much so that Zhou Zichuan and Zhou Xiaohu have also been protected.
It's just a pity that if Emperor Tianshui knew about Zhou Zichuan and Zhou Xiaohu's ambitions and what they had done, I don't know if he would have shielded them like this.
Situ Jingtian lowered his head slightly, hiding the mockery in his eyes.
"Yes, Erchen understands, but this matter has been accused to the patrol camp and Jing Zhaoyin, and my father thinks ......"
"This matter is a bit troublesome, I will deal with this matter, and I called you over, because I want to tell you to do it."
Waving his hand at Situ Sedum, Emperor Tianshui turned the matter over.
"I want you to go to Jiangzhou Mansion with Li Yushi, and you take a team of sergeants with you in case someone secretly uses the victims to make trouble."
"The retainers obey."
Situ Sedum bowed and saluted, leading the way. In fact, he understood in his heart that the reason why Emperor Tianshui sent himself to Jiangzhou Mansion was in addition to the fear that someone would make trouble and affect disaster relief. Moreover, he should be afraid that if he stays in Anjing City, he will keep an eye on Zhou Xiaohu's matter, so he wants to temporarily transfer himself away.
Although he understood it in his heart, Situ Jingtian pretended not to know anything, and just respectfully accepted the will.
"Well, you must pay attention to safety when you go, I have always known your abilities. This time, I will leave the recovery and relief of the disaster funds to you. ”
Showing a smile at Situ Sedum, Emperor Tianshui signaled that he could go back and prepare things.
"The retainers retired."
Without saying anything, Situ Jingtian gave a salute and walked out of the palace steadily.
Emperor Tianshui's attitude had long been expected by him, and Situ Jingtian deliberately played the case of embezzlement of disaster relief funds and the case of Zhou Xiaohu's robbery of people's daughters.
Because he knew that two cases appeared at the same time, and if Emperor Tianshui wanted to hold down one of them, he would inevitably let him handle the other.
Sure enough, things happened according to his thoughts, and Emperor Tianshui really pressed Zhou Xiaohu to rob the pro-people daughter. Correspondingly, he was sent to investigate the corruption of disaster funds, but Emperor Tianshui didn't know that in this matter, Situ Jingxuan's ass was not clean!
In the box on the second floor of Yuzhen Zhai, Wu Tianrou was sitting here and had just finished drinking a bowl of tea, when Liu Ruyan's maid knocked on the door and walked in.
"Is your young lady back, why did it take so long to go to the hut?"
Today it was Liu Ruyan who came to ask her to go out of the house and go shopping together, who knew that when she went to Yuzhenzhai, Liu Ruyan suddenly said that she had a stomachache, so she ran into the thatched house of Yuzhenzhai.
No, Wu Tianrou had no choice but to enter Yuzhenzhai and sit in the private room waiting for her.
"I'm sorry, Miss Wu, my young lady seems to have a bad stomach, and the slave knows that Sister Cuiqin knows some medical skills, so she wants to trouble Sister Cuiqin to accompany the slave and maid to send my young lady to the pharmacy next door and grab some medicine to eat."
Liu Ruyan's maid smiled apologetically and said to Wu Tianrou.
"Is it serious to eat a bad stomach? I'd better go with you. ”
Listening to the little girl's words, Wu Tianrou frowned worriedly and hurriedly stood up.
"No need, my young lady said that it is not serious, but her stomach still hurts a little, so there is no need to trouble Miss Wu. My young lady said that she would like to ask Miss Wu to wait for her here. ”
Seeing that Wu Tianrou was about to go out together, Liu Ruyan's maid hurriedly stopped her figure and said apologetically.
"Well, forget it, then I'll wait for you here, remember to inform me immediately if there is anything."
After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't help myself in the past, maybe I had to make a mess, and it should be enough to have Cuiqin help in the past. Wu Tianrou nodded and sat back down.
"Cuiqin, then you can go over, I am safe in this Yuzhen Zhai, there will be nothing wrong."
"Yes, miss, then I'll go out with this sister."
After giving a salute to Wu Tianrou, Cuiqin walked out of the room with Liu Ruyan's maid.
Wu Tianrou looked down the window, and after the tea, she saw Cuiqin and the little maid together, helping Liu Ruyan towards a pharmacy at the corner of the street.
"It doesn't seem to be that serious."
Looking at the figures of the three of them walking away, Wu Tianrou said softly.
Because in the sight, Liu Ruyan just let Cuiqin and the little maid support her, but in fact, she was still walking around by herself, and she didn't lean all her weight on the maid's body.
Wu Tianrou was looking out the window here, and suddenly the sound of the door opening sounded behind her.
I told the guy in the store not to come up with the delivery items first, so who didn't know how to be polite and didn't knock on the door, so he came in directly.
Wu Tianrou frowned and turned around.
"It's your ......" (To be continued.) )
