At that time, Liu Xianling was dismissed because of his mistakes and was also charged with greedy ink, and Cheng Yu was one of the people who insisted on not believing it.

Unfortunately, at that time, he was just a scholar, and he was weak, and no one would listen to what he said. What's more, Liu Xianling died of illness soon after, and his family also left the capital. The doubt in Cheng Yu's heart could only be kept in his heart.

Later, he was promoted to high school and transferred to Pixian County a year ago. Fu Geng could see at a glance that Cheng Yu was a good official who was really willing to think about the people, and when Liu Yu, the daughter of Liuxian Ling, left Guzhou, she also said: The most trustworthy person in the entire Jiangxi officialdom is Cheng Yu.

Therefore, as early as half a year ago, Fu Geng and Cheng Yu secretly joined forces to jointly investigate the case of the big water in Pi County that year.

However, the vast majority of the members of the county government in this county were all under the Liuxian County Commander back then, and Cheng Yu did not know whether there were any insiders or even perpetrators. Therefore, he did not dare to take the risk of verification, let alone act rashly.

It wasn't until the spring flood came that Cheng Yu had the opportunity to come to Qingyang Embankment openly. However, after secretly checking in the past few days, the embankment seems to be very solid on the surface, and a group of officials led by Zhou Miao have been following him all day long, so Cheng Yu basically did not find any clues.

At this moment, he looked at the broken sand and rotten grass in the cloth towel bag, as well as the piece of paper written by Fu Geng, and already understood that when the Qingyang Embankment was built, someone must have been greedy for a huge amount of money. There are even bold people who take the opportunity to steal silver mines. According to the law of the Han Dynasty, the crime of stealing mines is equivalent to seeking the country, and it should be punished according to the law.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yu couldn't help but think of the scene of his teacher's death back then, and a sense of grief and indignation surged in his heart.

Fu Geng took a step forward, stretched out his hand and patted Cheng Yu on the shoulder, smiled at him comfortingly, and then raised his voice and said: "Lord Cheng, now that the city of Pixian has been flooded, you, as the head of a county, are not in the city, and you came here to do something." Why don't you go back to the city soon? ”

After that, Fu Geng leaned into Cheng Yu's ear again, and whispered in a very low voice: "You bring my letter and this bag of things, and quickly go to Guzhou to meet Hu Gong, and he will tell you what to do next." ”

Cheng Yu took the cloth bag and the letter, and said loudly: "Lord Zhizhou, the condition of the Qingyang Embankment is critical, and the lower officials think that it is better to stay here." Then he whispered, "Your Excellency, please leave quickly, this place should not stay for a long time." ”

Fu Geng smiled lightly and whispered: "I can't go, if I leave, someone will be suspicious." I need to stay here and contain those people. ”

Cheng Yu raised his head in surprise, but saw Fu Geng nodding to him, and said in a low voice: "It's easier for you to go than me, there are too many people staring at me." ”

Cheng Yu immediately shook his head, and whispered with a resolute expression: "No, if you want to leave, you will be an adult, and the lower official will stay here." As he spoke, he said loudly: "Your Excellency, please think twice, this place is critical, and the lower officials must stay." ”

Fu Geng's face showed an anxious expression, and he lowered his voice and said sharply: "If I tell you to go, you will leave, and if it is too late, I am afraid that it will be too late." He raised his voice again and said, "This official is in charge here, why don't you go back quickly!" ”

Cheng Yu ignored him at all, only vigorously pressed the cloth bag and letter into Fu Geng's arms, and said loudly: "Please think twice." ”

On the one hand, the two couldn't hold each other, and on the other hand, they had to raise their voices to deceive others, and from the outside, it sounded like an argument.

The people who passed by outside the tent, or some people who deliberately stayed behind, listened to the movement in Cheng Yu's tent, and their expressions were different. A few of them quietly ran away and reported to the embankment or a few other tents.

Zhou Miao was also in his account at this time, pacing back and forth restlessly, listening to the news that his subordinates kept reporting back, the muscles on his face couldn't help shaking, and his expression was changing.

He had already received rumors before, saying that Fu Geng was only afraid that he would make a move when he came to Pi County this time. At that time, he also thought that this Fu Tanhua had been in Jiangxi for three years, and the official had risen very quickly, and his reputation had spread quite loudly, but he didn't see him make any moves. Even if he runs a little diligently to the counties, he will go to meet women, and the news from above also says that Fu Geng is amorous and has caused lovesick debts everywhere.

Looking at it now, this Fu Geng is afraid that he really has another purpose. The people who had just been sent out reported that the embankment in the area where the rocks were piled up had been chiseled by someone or weathered by itself, and that the contents of it had been exposed.

Zhou Miao remembered that the direction Fu Geng had just come from was the pile of rocks. In other words, whether the embankment was chiseled by someone or weathered by itself, Fu Geng could have seen it.

Although Zhou Miao thought that Fu Geng was a merry man, he let him see the landfill in the embankment, but he was afraid that he would not be able to understand it. However, the secret of Qingyang Embankment must not be discovered by anyone.

Whether Fu Geng saw it or not, whether he was suspicious or not, he was a great hidden danger.

Thinking of this, Zhou Miao's heart couldn't help but be even more suspicious, and the look on his face became ugly.

"What are you still hesitating about?" A flat voice sounded in Zhou Miao's ears, and he couldn't help but shiver.

The one who spoke was a middle-aged man with a very plain face, wearing an inconspicuous gray robe, sitting on a low stool, as if he was hidden in a gray mist.

Zhou Miao seemed to be very afraid of this person, looked at him a little timidly, and asked, "According to what you can see, how should this matter be handled." ”

The gray-robed man didn't speak, only stretched out his hand, and pointed like a knife, slashing from top to bottom, and then looked around, so that he could smile faintly.

Sweat oozed from Zhou Miao's forehead, he raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat, and the muscles on his face trembled and said, "That Fu...... But Lord Zhizhou, if it is found out, I am afraid that it will ...... Besides, he may not have seen it. ”

The gray-robed man picked up the teapot from the table, poured half a cup of tea into the teacup, raised the teacup and took a leisurely sip, and said lightly: "Do you dare to take this risk?" If he reports it, you know better than I know what the consequences will be. ”

When Zhou Miao heard this, the sweat on his forehead became even worse, and the expression on his face was also cloudy. After a while, he wiped his face fiercely, but there was a fierce look in his eyes.

The gray-robed man was right to say that if he didn't do it, this hidden danger would always be there. took 10,000 steps back and said, Fu Geng didn't find a problem at all, but if he accidentally slipped his mouth and was heard by someone with a heart, they would also get into big trouble.

Think about it again, what if Fu Geng really came to verify the Qingyang Embankment? Today's events are even more difficult to conceal, and the results will be even worse. Therefore, Fu Geng must be removed, the sooner the better. If they do it skillfully, they might be able to get away with it. (To be continued.) )
