"Then you won't save my eldest brother?"

Wang Xiao was stunned for a long time, but there was only this sentence when he spoke.

Lin Xiangyang sneered and said, "You also said just now, if we don't save your eldest brother, you will poke this case out." We are not afraid of you poking it out, and naturally we will not ...... Interference with the administration of justice. ”

Bai Yizhang sighed and said earnestly: "If Wang Zhen doesn't speak, my uncle will naturally have to find a way to keep him out." But now that he has confessed, who else can he ask to fish, aren't people afraid of being involved in corruption? ”

Wang Xiao turned his head a little dazed.

Lu Zhengchu still closed his eyes, and said: "Since the words have been spoken, the old man has also told you bluntly, no one cares who killed Zhang Heng." The reason why Wang Zhen couldn't be saved was precisely because he was the niece and son-in-law of the household servant. Now that the court is staring at Yizhang, it is impossible to save your eldest brother. Besides, since he has recruited him, you should think about how to protect your royal family......"

Wang Xiao's mind felt like he had been hit hard.

He suddenly remembered the conversation with Wang Zhen yesterday.

I persuaded my eldest brother that he would put the lives of the whole family on this gambling table.

Now that the cards are open, I have lost the bet?!

He opened his mouth, not knowing what else to say for a moment, so he turned and walked out in despair.

Lu Zhengchu opened his eyes and looked at the young man's back with interest.

I had such a time back then, and now I look back on it, and I am already a hundred years old.

Seeing Wang Xiao walk to the door, he tapped his fingers lightly, and was about to speak......

Suddenly.

Wang Xiao stopped, turned around, raised his hand, pointed at Lu Zhengchu, and said loudly: "You liar! ”

This is obviously a resounding accusation, the only drawback is that he has a little tender face.

Lin Xiangyang and the others narrowed their eyes, slightly angry.

The boy who didn't know the height of the sky dared to point at the second lord and scold.

Lu Zhengchu smiled, looking a little happy, and seemed to be very satisfied with the title of liar.

"You liar." Wang Xiao said again: "You are obviously greedy for disaster relief!" ”

Lu Zhengchu beckoned and said, "Come here." ”

Wang Xiao was stunned, and said in his heart that this old man didn't want to deceive himself, and then slap himself.

But Lu Zhengchu had a temperament that made people unconsciously obey, he hesitated for a moment, but still walked over.

"Come on again."

At this time, Wang Xiao felt that he might really want to slap himself.

But he saw that Lu Zhengchu's smile was quite kind, and he still took a step forward cautiously.

The two looked at each other for a moment at a distance of two paces.

"The old man's youngest grandson is also twenty-three years old, and now he can spend all his time drinking, which is far less cute than when he was young. He used to play with me, and he also liked to point at the old man's nose and say that my grandfather was a liar. ”

Lu Zhengchu said, he actually smiled again, looking like an amiable old man playing with his grandson.

Wang Xiao looked down and could see the old age spots on his face, which looked a little pitiful.

But the next moment, he realized that this was the old man's skill to control the pace of the conversation.

Oops, the old man is very bad.

"You are clearly greedy for relief food." Wang Xiao frowned and complained again.

Lu Zhengchu said: "But it doesn't matter anymore. ”

"How could it not be important?! It is a shame that you have taken off the life-saving food from the mouths of the victims and made a fortune in the country. Wang laughed very angrily and scolded: "You still want to lie to me, you are greedy for food to let my eldest brother take care of the grain business, and you still lie to me......"

Lu Zhengchu said lightly: "But this is allowed by His Majesty." ”

Wang Xiao was stunned.

"This is allowed by His Majesty, and the reason is that the old man also said it just now. We are to Your Majesty what Wang Yuan is to Cao Mengde. Lu Zhengchu said, "You can poke things out." However, His Majesty doesn't care, and the old man is not afraid. ”

Wang smiled and said, "You ......"

Lu Zhengchu shook his head and said, "The old man told you that seeing many things is not necessarily believing. Yes, we did deduct the money from the disaster relief money, but what the old man said to you just now is not all false. Rumor has it that we swallowed 100,000 stones, but maybe we only took 50,000 stones. Some of them are inedible old grains, some are to be sent to Liaodong, and some are used for emergency relief.

Do you know how many crises there are in this situation? For example, when Jingshi was besieged, the silver that His Majesty promised to Jiannu and the silver promised to the generals of King Qin, these silvers cannot be said, they can only be slowly backfilled, how many years have they been filled? And that's just that, for example, there are too many places to spend money and food. The minister of the auxiliary state of the Chu Dynasty is not easy to be a ...... Of course, among them, there are indeed people who have embezzled them. It is true that there are many corrupt officials in our Kunming Party. ”

Lu Zhengchu touched his knees and said, "But, what can it do?" The old man asked you, who has a way to ensure that all the officials in the world are honest and selfless? Someone has to do things, people always have selfish desires, what should these people do, kill them all? That day, the officials in the world went to nine pavilions. The building will fall, who will turn the tide?! In this world, some officials are talented but not virtuous, and some are virtuous but not talented. Let's use an analogy...... Just like Luo Yuan and Bai Yizhang ......"

When Bai Yizhang heard this, he lowered his head in shame.

Lu Zhengchu said: "Luo Yuan is a model of integrity. But what he did in the temple today will have a hundred times worse consequences than embezzling grain money! The balance between the DPRK and China, which had been managed to maintain with great difficulty, was broken, and the party struggle reopened, resulting in the intrigue of the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the fact that they only knew how to drill the camp and calculate, wasting the national strength in vain. On the other hand, this uncle of yours ......"

Lu Zhengchu pointed at Bai Yizhang and was speechless for a while.

He closed his eyes a little tiredly and said, "Xiangyang, you can come on." ”

Lin Xiangyang cleared his throat and said: "Since Bai Shilang took office in the household department, he has cleaned up the corruption in the household department, sorted out many old diseases such as redundant accounts, redundant personnel, and redundant salaries......

"It's too good, it's too good, and the lower officials just did what they should do." Bai Yizhang waved his hand again and again, and said quite modestly.

Wang Xiao rolled his eyes and scolded in his heart: That is also a big corrupt official. Cleaned up the wind of corruption in the household department? That is, you are greedy, but you don't let others be greedy, and you have no quality.

Lin Xiangyang smiled at Wang again and said, "You want to pinch our handle and force us to protect your eldest brother." How naïve is that? The teacher is dedicated to the public, and he is worthy of heaven and earth, how can a child like you be coerced. Now, if you want to protect your royal family, you will come to the palace in a while......"

Wang Xiaozheng was stunned in a daze, and suddenly his ears moved.

Arrived at the temple in a moment?

"Why are you bothering to talk to me about this?!" Wang Xiao said suddenly.

"Ha, because the emperor wants to summon me?" He pointed to Lu Zhengchu again and said eloquently: "You also said just now that Your Majesty wants to see me. That's why you want me to help you deal with your political enemies, so you can put on a picture of loyalty to the country in front of me. Oh, what a dedicated Lord Lu, with a lotus flower, the younger generation has just opened his eyes today! ”
