A history of assassination, knowing the Hu people of North Vietnam, at least it is said that it is a personal friendship, and at a large level, it is said that it is a collaboration with the enemy and treason.

The officials didn't dare to squeak, and their eyes were fixed on Master Shi.

Shi Yuejiu got up and said, "Xiaguan doesn't know the Hu people of North Vietnam. ”

Chu Jingye nodded with satisfaction, "Okay!" Gu Gong, bring people up. ”

Gu Kai got the order and immediately brought two guards to escort a strangely dressed person up, forcibly pressed the strangely dressed person to kneel on the ground, and reported: "Your Highness, this is the North Vietnamese Hu man Luo Zama who was caught at the door of Lord Shi, he said that he has a deep friendship with Lord Shi, and he can know by reporting his name, Lord Shi." ”

"Master Shi, take a good look and see if you recognize him."

Shi Yuejiu didn't look at it, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the lower officials have never heard the name 'Luo Zama', and they don't know the Hu man in front of them. ”

Chu Jingye nodded and said: "It turned out that this Hu man was talking nonsense, wronging my Dayue court official, Gu Cheng, drag it down and behead it." ”

Shi Yuejiu didn't say a word, and Gu Li immediately ordered someone to set up Hu Ren and drag him out.

Luo Zama immediately raised his head, his eyes widened, and he scolded in the not very smooth Central Plains dialect: "Shi Yuejiu, you bastard dare to deny me!" ”

This Luo Zama was originally considered tough, but he was caught by Gu Cheng outside Shi Yuejiu's mansion, and he reported his name by mistake, and when he saw that the person who arrested him was not afraid, he was silent for more than ten days. At the moment, his life is not guaranteed, and Shi Yuejiu has not said a word of pleading, which makes him feel that the suffering he has suffered in the past ten days has been in vain, and he is full of resentment at the moment.

Chu Jingye waved his hand and ordered Gu Gong to stop, and said, "You said that you know Master Shi, what evidence do you have?" ”

Luo Zama looked at Shi Yuejiu and did not speak.

Chu Jingye said again: "If you tell the truth, this king will spare you from dying, so many ministers testify today, and this king will never break his word." ”

Seeing that Luo Zama was still hesitating, Chu Jingye waved his hand impatiently: "Gu Cheng, drag him down and behead him." ”

Lozama didn't even have time to think, and said, I said, I said.

It seems that this burly and honest Luo Zama has fallen into Chu Han's trap, when did Chu Han have such a chip to shake his hand, no wonder he is not in a hurry these days. Zhang Jun next to him also widened his eyes and was watching, and obviously he didn't know how to come to a Hu man.

Chu Jingxi was drinking leisurely, looking confident.

"We in North Vietnam are mainly nomadic, and every year we buy a lot of grain for the winter like Da Yue or the surrounding small countries. Every year during the rainy season, Shi Yuejiu will lead the Qingzhou officials to sell us the donated rice to North Vietnam, and in the autumn and winter, they will also sell us the surplus grain. ”

Luo Zama is clear, the person who buys things is not guilty, as for the seller, where the things come from, and whether they can be sold or not has nothing to do with him.

Hungry and overflowing with displaced people in Thanh Chau, they even sold this life-saving grain to the North Vietnamese in private, and every year. Don't say that Chu Jingye is over, even Qin Leling is very angry, these people have a conscience to let the dog eat, no wonder all of them have such big bellies, and all they eat is gold.

Chu Jingye clenched his fists, "Master Shi, what do you have to say." ”

"Your Highness must not listen to his words, this Hu man may be a meticulous work sent by North Vietnam, and the gossip confuses the people and scatters the people's hearts. Divide the hearts of my great Yuejun's subjects, so as to take advantage of the void to enter. ”

Zhang Jun got up at the right time and said: "This is the account book found out by the minister, I feel that there are some problems, please ask Your Highness to take a look." ”

Gu Cheng took the account book and presented it to Chu Jingye.

Chu Jingye opened it, his face darkened, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, so he simply threw the account book in his hand onto Shi Yuejiu's table, and the plates and wine glasses on the table swept to the ground. "See for yourself!"

Shi Yuejiu flipped through the account book, his face turned green, and he hurriedly ran out and knelt on the ground, "This is not true, the lower official is wronged!" ”

Zhang Jun smiled proudly, this account book was found out by him.

Shi Yuejiu wailed: "The Linqu County Order is dead, this account book cannot be verified, this is fake, absolutely fake!" ”

The officials trembled with fear when they saw Lord Shi who was so disrespectful, King Han was obviously prepared, and they couldn't escape today.

Zhang Jun's smile froze on his face, what is this about Linqu County?

Chu Jingxi pulled him and motioned to continue looking down, not to be too surprised.

Zhang Jun reacted, it was him, he must have changed his account book!

Chu Jingxi said lightly: "This is what we found in Ling's house in Linqu County, his account book is tightly hidden, how can it be fake?" ”

Qin Leling is also very novel, didn't he say that the Lingjia family in Linqu County even pried the floor away, and he could still find the account book?

Chu Jingxi said and took out another one, and said quietly: "This king has one more thing to ask your lord, this account is also from the Lingjia of Linqu County, which records the account of the construction of embankments in Linqu County. The king was very curious, how could this embankment still save rice? ”

The hearts of the officials tugged again, such a secret thing is known, and it seems that the account book is true and undoubted. This damn Linqu County Commander died and left his account book to make a fool of himself, and he couldn't help but worry about whether his account book was hidden well......

Chu Jingye's majestic gaze swept over everyone: "In the account book of the Linqu County Order, I have dealings with many of you, and it is best to recruit everything that Shi Yuejiu has done, and you can also make up for your crimes." Those who do not report it are guilty of the same crime! ”

The people below this sound trembled and sweated all over their heads. Shi Yuejiu didn't care about explaining, and looked at the ledger over and over again with an incredible expression.

Then Pei Yong, the county commander of Mu County, stood up and said, "The lower officials have something to report." ”

"Say."

"What Luo Zama said is true, Lord Shi led the officials to sell the rice to the Hu people of North Vietnam every year to fill their own pockets, and the lower officials were ashamed and did not inform His Highness and report to the emperor as soon as possible."

Chu Jingye said: "It's not too late to say now, this king will intercede for you in front of his father, which can be regarded as making up for his sin." ”

So under the leadership of Pei Yong, the officials recognized their mistakes with snot and tears.

There was a kneeling area at the bottom in an instant, there was a tendency for the wall to fall down and everyone pushed it, Shi Yuejiu didn't even have the strength to kneel, this time it was over.

According to the rhetoric of the crowd, it is roughly like this.

A large nomadic tribe like North Vietnam needs a large amount of grain to survive the winter every autumn and winter, and sometimes they have to grab it if they can't buy it, and they will be attacked by the Yue Dynasty, so they have to find some other ways to get food.

Qingzhou was rich and would accumulate a large amount of grain every year, so the trade began. Every year, Qingzhou Assassin Shi and officials would sell the surplus grain privately to the Hu people at a reasonable price, making a windfall.

There is no too much money, and greed is getting bigger and bigger. Later, there was a big flood in Qingzhou in the rainy season, and the imperial court allocated a lot of rice and grain to relieve the disaster, which was very good, and then the officials in Qingzhou increased a very large income. The emperor was far away, and there were people in the court to support him, and they became more and more unscrupulous, cutting out rice in various ways, even building embankments.

Chu Jingye immediately asked them to write their confessions on paper and draw them.

Qin Leling silently praised it in her heart, this trick is useful out of nothing, if she didn't guess wrong, she didn't find any account books in the dead Linqu County Ling's house, this is just a frame for them to tell the truth.

This battle was a complete victory, and Chu Jingye only took Shi Yuejiu and a few powerful county orders into custody, and put the rest back. This time, Qingzhou has lost most of the officials, and someone still has to go back to take charge.
