Chapter 148: Passing the buck

"Boom......!"

Just when Zhang Han, the secretary of Dali Temple, was faintly uneasy, a group of ragged people suddenly broke in.

These people all have blue noses and swollen faces, and their clothes are untidy, and they are not recognizable at all!

And, they supported each other, seemed to be injured a lot, and staggered in!

"Bai Yuchen? Is that you? ”

He couldn't recognize any of the more than 100 people, because their faces were covered with blood, unrecognizable, and unrecognizable!

He was only guessing based on the tattered official robes!

"Alas......!"

Bai Yuchen sighed deeply, did not speak, shook his body, found a stool in the yamen and sat down, and said with a bitter face: "The lower officials are incompetent, and this case of the concubine has not been completed!" ”

"No incriminating evidence?"

Zhang Han was a little surprised when he saw his miserable appearance!

"Uh-huh......!"

Bai Yuchen nodded, then shook his head again.

"Did you find it or not, but you spoke?"

Zhang Han, who has always been sophisticated, couldn't sit still at all, and asked impatiently.

They took more than 100 officers and soldiers out, but they were covered in injuries and came back with each other's support.

If he finds evidence of his treason, he must have a way to bring that kid down!

If you don't find it, it's miserable!

This kid is not easy to mess with, and he will be punished!

"We didn't even enter the door of the bookstore!"

Bai Yuchen spread his hands and said helplessly.

"How is this possible, didn't you bring more than a hundred officers and soldiers? Why don't you just rush in? ”

Zhang Han jumped straight to his feet in a hurry!

They stepped on it early in the morning and made sure that there were only a dozen guards guarding the bookstore, so they sent more than a hundred officers and soldiers!

Could it be that these more than 100 people can't even beat a dozen guards?

"You didn't see it, I don't know why, there were more than 1,000 people gathered outside the bookstore at that time, and before we could get on, we were drowned in a sea of people!"

"Isn't there only a dozen guards guarding the bookstore? Where did so many people come from? ”

Zhang Han was very puzzled.

Is there a spy among them?

Leaking the news?

"The lower officials don't know!"

Bai Yuchen lowered his head and said with a sad face.

"It's over......! It's all over! ”

Before Bai Yuchen could say anything about his confession, Zhang Han was already in a hurry!

"In addition, the lower officials still have something to report, and I ask Zhang Siqing to forgive him!"

Bai Yuchen's heart was crossed, and he planned to tell the truth!

Both of them are from the Lu family, and this time they offended the horse, so tell him earlier, and he can also be mentally prepared!

"Forgiveness?"

Zhang Han was slightly stunned, and then seemed to think of something, waved his hand at him, and said with a wry smile: "This kid is not a master to be messed with, and it is no wonder that you failed to find evidence of the crime this time, it is he who is scheming, and you didn't expect it, forget it, let's talk about it later, alas, ......!" ”

"It's not ......!"

Bai Yuchen shook his head.

"Oh? What else? ”

"The lower official and the Wannian County Order, I was forced by that kid to write down the guilt, and I also signed and drew it!"

"What ......? Signed? ”

Zhang Han's eyes darkened, and he almost fell, "You...... What did you say? ”

"The lower officials have told all the things about the shopkeeper Lu's attempt to frame the sputation, and Zhang Siqing sent the lower officials to find evidence...... these things!"

Bai Yuchen glanced at him weakly and said in a low voice.

"What? ..... you've recruited them all? ”

Zhang Han, who had just comforted him, suddenly became furious, "Your special mother is really a waste, you brought more than 100 people over, and you can't even find any evidence of the crime, so forget it, you actually confessed to the old man?" Do you have a brain? If you keep your mouth shut, can he still kill you in public? ”

"Hmph, unreasonable......!"

Seeing him yelling like a madman, Bai Yuchen got up angrily and walked out of the mansion.

The two of them usually have a good relationship, and he even plans to consider him as a confidant!

But I didn't expect that adversity would see the truth!

At this life-and-death juncture, he finally showed his true colors!

Fortunately, I confessed him at that time!

Otherwise, this old boy will definitely push this black cauldron on himself!

Well, now when he wrote the accusation, he put all the blame on Zhang Han and Shopkeeper Lu!

Thinking about it this way, today's beating is not in vain!

At least my life was saved!

If you're lucky, you might even be able to keep your official position!

But the old goods are not necessarily!

Just colluding with the seven major families and planting a colt is enough for him to drink a pot!

With Zhao Yin's ruthlessness, he will definitely not let Zhang Han go easily!

"The emperor's message! Zhang Han, the secretary of Dali Temple, colluded with officials and businessmen to frame the horse, the crime is unforgivable, he was removed from his position as the secretary of Dali Temple, and he was put in prison of the Criminal Department pending trial! ”

Sure enough, as soon as he left on his front foot, Wang De, the great eunuch beside the emperor, took a team of people and took Zhang Han, the secretary of Dali Temple, away.

......

"Everyone, we are very willing to be put on the throne by the emperor!"

In the inner house of the Lu Mansion, after all the seven patriarchs gathered, the patriarch of the Lu clan frowned and said.

"What does Brother Lu mean by this?"

The Zheng clan patriarch was a little puzzled.

Today, 100,000 people were in a hurry to find all of them, and he faintly felt on the road that something must have happened.

Now after seeing the Lu family's sad face, his whole person is not good.

"I'm afraid our food shortage plan is going to come to naught!"

The patriarch of the Lu clan sighed and said: "We just received news today that the household department is collecting grain in the south of the Yangtze River, and now we have bought all the grain stored by our seven families, and now it is being shipped to Chang'an!" ”

"Didn't we already send people and ask them to inform the Jiangnan side that they were not allowed to sell grain to the imperial court?"

The patriarch of the Li clan frowned and said in surprise.

"But our people didn't communicate it clearly?"

The other patriarch was also very puzzled.

"No, our people are a step late......!"

The patriarch of the Lu clan shook his head and continued with remorse: "We received the news the next day, and we immediately sent people to Jiangnan, but it was still a step too late, and by the time our people arrived, the household department had already bought all our grain!" ”

"Not only that, our people came to report that the emperor had issued a Zhao, ordered all prefectures, counties, and counties to fully assist in the collection of grain, and also gave the people a protective price for grain! If anyone disobeys the holy decree, he will be killed! ”

"What is a protection price?"

Everyone was confused by this new word!

"It is said that the purchase price must be higher than the price of the grain bank......! Now our purchase price is about four or five Wen, if it is sold to the household is five or six Wen, in short, it will be higher than us, which is obviously on the bar with us! ”

The patriarch of the Lu clan will tell everyone about the situation in Jiangnan in 1510!

"If this continues, it will be difficult for us to receive food in the future......! If we can't receive grain from Jiangnan, what will our grain store do? ”

The Li clan patriarch frowned and asked worriedly.

"I see, this household seems to be ready for a long time! It's not going to rob us of our food business, is it? ”

The patriarch of the Wang clan pinched his chin, and after thinking about it, he said suspiciously.

"That's right, Lu Mou also thinks so, that's why I called everyone over in such a hurry, let's discuss the countermeasures together!"

The patriarch of the Lu clan nodded!
