Chapter 62: The Breakthrough
In the study, the candlelight is bright.
Someone walked in.
"Mr. Song."
Luo Yuan bowed meticulously, and his expression was quite solemn.
Sitting at the table was a man in his forties named Song Li.
Song Li is the confidant and think tank of Zuo Jinglun, a scholar of the Zhongji Temple. Counting up, Zuo Jinglun was able to enter the cabinet back then, and he made a lot of contributions to it.
"It's public day." Song Li was writing something on the desk with his clothes on, and when he saw Luo Yuan, he nodded and said, "Sit down." ”
Gongjie is the word of Luo Yuan, which means justice and integrity.
In front of the prime minister, Song Li is just a strategist with no official body, but his aura is much higher than that of Luo Yuan, who is from the seventh rank.
"I just came back from Ge Lao, he stayed up all night yesterday, but he has to get up early tomorrow for a morning meeting. has been in charge of the Chu Dynasty all his life, and the old man's body is not very good. ”
The candlelight reflected Song Li's face, and there was a trace of anxiety about the country and the people between his eyebrows.
Hearing such a sigh, Luo Yuan felt a little sour, and hugged his fists and said: "Ge Lao and Mr. Song are the people that students respect the most. ”
Song Li waved his hand.
"The student has been to Wang's house today." Luo Yuan opened the mountain and said: "The Wang family...... Sure enough, it's a rich and noble family. ”
The autumn night was extremely cold, Song Li pulled the clothes on his shoulders and sighed: "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road." ”
"Not bad. The eldest son and the second son of the royal family both have a city government, which is not easy to get along with. The student pretended to be arrogant and made him think that I was going to the selection of the horse. Rod Yuan said.
Song Li said: "According to what you see, the Wang family is really involved with Bai Yizhang's party?" ”
As Mr. Song said, the Wang family must be Bai Yizhang's stolen goods seller. That Wang Zhu is arrogant and mean, and he is not good. Luo Yuan said: "If it weren't for that, how could a family selling wine make such a fortune?!" ”
As he spoke, he sighed deeply and said, "Presumably, over the years, Bai Yizhang has deducted grain from the disaster relief grain, made wine through the Wang family, and then sold it for silver money. Where is the wine in that jar? It's clearly the blood of an altar! Thinking of this, the students' hearts are really indignant! ”
"Righteous indignation!" He cursed again and clenched his fists.
Song Li just had a pale face, and was writing something with a brush.
"What does Mr. Song think I should do?" Luo Yuan asked.
"What do you want?" Song Li asked rhetorically.
Luo Yuan said: "Of course, these moths of the country will be brought to justice!" ”
"Brought to justice? How many years has Bai Yizhang been in office? How many years have you been with the company? Song Li said: "He is the backbone of the Donglin Party, and his henchmen are hooked." Even Zuo Ge Lao can't easily move, what can you do with him from the seven-grade imperial history? ”
"The Wang family is a breakthrough......
Song Li asked lightly, "Do you have any evidence?" ”
Luo Yuan was speechless for a while, thought for a while, and said: "I can first impeach the Wang family for bribing internal officials with a lot of money and manipulating the selection of attached horses." As long as the Wang family is raided and sent to prison, he is not afraid that he will not be able to ask for evidence. ”
"How sure are you?"
"The king of the quasi-attached horse laughs at his bad character, and he has an affair with a widow! Students have ...... Fifty percent sure. ”
Song Li frowned slightly and said, "I heard that Wang Xiao is a demented child. Didn't you see it today? ”
"Dementia?" Luo Yuan muttered, "It doesn't seem like it......"
Song Li said: "I will let people investigate this matter again." Wait until you have the results before you act. Remember, if you don't make a move, you can't make a move, and if you don't have to, the court can't withstand too much shock. ”
"Students understand."
Song Li stopped the brush in his hand and asked again, "What do you think of Qin Chengye?" ”
Luo Yuan said: "Qin Chengye? Some people say that he is guarding the Great Wall of Liaodong in my Chu Dynasty, and some people say that he is a traitor who is greedy for ink and Liao. He descended to Jiannu and returned to my Dachu, whether he was greedy for life or afraid of death, or whether he was loyal, one thing I can be sure of...... What he wants to do is not a courtier of the court. What he wants to do is to be the king of Liaodong like Li Chengliang. Therefore, such a person must not stay in Liaodong for a long time! ”
"This is also something that the elder is worried about." Song Li said: "Millions of salaries every year can't change the tranquility outside the customs. How many innocent people died tragically under the iron hooves of Jiannu? The burden on the people in the customs is also getting heavier, and the situation is getting worse day by day...... But the result? Qin Chengye's third son, Qin Shanhe, was defeated and captured, and he actually surrendered to Jiannu! Shame! Where does this place the face of the court? Where do you place the hope of the people? ”
The more he said he was angry, he said angrily: "Your Majesty asked Qin Chengye to go to Beijing to explain, what did the Qin family do?" Sending two grandchildren to Beijing, what is this? Is it a hostage?! ”
Luo Yuan also gritted his teeth and was angry.
"Do you know what those two descendants of the Qin family have been doing in Beijing and Chengdu these days?"
Song Li laughed angrily and handed over a piece of paper.
Luo Yuan took the piece of paper.
"Two people can beat the deputy capital of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division all over the ground to find teeth, and they are worthy of being the grandson of the chief soldiers. Those who don't know still think that the border army of our Great Chu Dynasty is extremely powerful and can defeat ten enemies. ”
But that's not just what is written on paper......
It took Luo Yuan a long time to read it, and his face turned blue with anger.
He raised his head suddenly, his eyes revealed perseverance, and he said with a kind of self-sacrificing momentum: "His son surrendered to Jiannu, and his grandson has a bad record. Let such people guard Liaodong, where is the hope of the country? This time, even if they die in front of the palace, the students must impeach this big moth entrenched in Liaodong! ”
"Look, what is this?"
After drinking a few bowls of wine, Qin Xiaozhu suddenly said quite mysteriously, with a faint sense of pride in his expression.
Qin Xuance let out a "wow" and snatched the things in Qin Xiaozhu's hand.
Geng Dang also looked at it, and he also said "wow".
Wang Xiao couldn't help but be a little curious.
He had a bit of a psychological shadow on Qin Xiaozhu, so he sat a little far away from her this time. At this point, I finally couldn't help but lean over to take a look.
It's just a silver ticket of 1,000 taels.
There was also a purse, in which there were about a hundred taels of broken silver and silver tickets.
Wang Xiao pursed his lips, what should it be, but it was silver.
He had no memory of how he had been thirsting for silver every day before today.
"Where did you come from?" Qin Xuance asked Qin Xiaozhu, "Today, when I push Pai Gow, are you going to bet on the size of the win?" ”
Qin Xiaozhu said: "Idiot, if you can win money in gambling, who will still fuck you?" ”
She put her foot on the stool, nibbled on the chicken leg, and said proudly: "From those two old pigs and dogs in the afternoon, guess which one belongs to the coal merchant and which one belongs to the capital?" ”
Geng Dang said: "Wow, the Five Cities Terracotta Division is so rich? Carry more than a hundred taels of silver with you?! ”
"The thousand taels are his." Qin Xuance said: "That's a fat difference. Your patrol camp is only in charge of law and order, but they are in charge of the shops. ”
Geng dang's chopsticks caught the pork ribs fell to the ground.
After a while, he picked up the ribs, picked up the mud on them, stuffed them in his mouth, and muttered, "I'm good." ”
Qin Xuance casually picked out more than twenty taels of silver ingots, stuffed them in Geng Dang's arms, and said, "I borrowed two taels of silver from you yesterday, and I will repay you with interest." ”
"I can't. I'm not a usurious ......."
"Shut up!" Qin Xiaozhu scolded, "If you accept it, you will accept it." ”
She snatched the silver ticket of 1,000 taels, handed it to Wang Xiao, and said, "Oh, here you go." ”
Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Give it to me?" Why? ”
"Don't you want to buy a house?" Qin Xiaozhu said: "Although I don't have three thousand taels, I can finally make up a little bit for you." ”
Wang Xiao shook his head and said, "Actually, I ......"
"I lent it to you." Qin Xiaozhu pulled Wang Xiao's clothes and stuffed the silver ticket into his arms, "If you change your own clothes and go home in a while, don't forget it." ”
Wang Xiao was speechless for a while.
He didn't know if there was something wrong with Qin Xiaozhu's brain.
Or at this time, there are really such people who are righteous and squandering money, and are warm-hearted.
In terms of family background and money in hand, she is obviously the richest person in it, but she is not as enthusiastic as her.
Looking at each other in pairs, Wang Xiao was a little moved.
He sat on the board, looked up at Qin Xiaozhu's eyes, and said, "Miss Qin, you ......"
"Am I alright?" Qin Xiaozhu said with a smile.
The next moment, she grabbed his bun in her hand again.
This time she was quite skillful in pushing his hair back and hanging it, and then tilted his head up.
Wang Xiao opened his eyes in disbelief.
"Hmm."
The oil in this mouth, the taste of this braised chicken thigh......
Wang Xiao was speechless.
In this world, there is no kind of war and wealth, and the ancient way is warm. She's just hungry for her own body......
