Hearing this Ma Shang say that he was looking for Liu Rong, it really surprised the master father.

"I wonder what you're looking for the prince?"

Hearing this, this Ma Shang choked up and said: "My family has suffered a great grievance, and only by finding His Royal Highness the prince can he make decisions for the villain!" ”。

After speaking, I couldn't stop crying.

Seeing this, the master's father Yan did not directly say that he wanted to lead him to Liu Rong.

Instead, he asked: "This place is the seat of Hedong County, if you have grievances, go to find Hedong Taishou, why not be beautiful?" ”。

And this horse has not yet replied to the question of the master's father, but he has said: "Can the noble man believe the words of the villain!" ”。

Looking at Ma Shang's resolute eyes, the master father replied: "Naturally believe it! ”。

Then Ma Shang began to tell the master's father about the grievances of his family, "The villain told the nobleman that day, the villain's family has lived in Hedong since the time of the pre-Qin period, and the family also has 3,000 acres of land, and the life can be regarded as passable, but a few days ago, the soldiers of Hedong rushed into the villain's house, forcibly seized the grain in the villain's house, and killed the villain's father."

The rest of the clan were thrown into the prison in the city of Anyi, and the villain was able to ............escape from the prison by bribing the jailer with the money he had hidden in his body.

Hearing this, the master's father frowned, and the three acres of land in the family were considered to be a big landlord in a county.

Although no one in the entire Han family court, from the Son of Heaven to the hundred officials, liked these rich and powerful families, the officials of various counties and counties often brushed their resumes by sweeping away the powerful and powerful in their governing offices.

But even if you want to kill Haoqiang, there must always be one, for example, in the fish and meat town, there is a reason for being rampant and domineering, and you can't kill him arbitrarily.

But listening to this Ma Shang's remarks, it is a little strange that his father was killed and his family was thrown into prison without warning.

"But the people of your family have offended the officials of Hedong?"

Ma Shang shook his head for a while and said: "The villain's family has been passed down for several generations, and when I see the officials hiding on weekdays, I am afraid that I can't do it, where do I dare to offend the officials for no reason."

Then, after pacing for a while, the master father suddenly thought of the final point in the eyes of this horse Shang Shicai.

"Are you sure that the officials who come to your house will take all the food from your house?"

"Yes, the villain remembers it clearly that day, a pair of soldiers rushed into the villain's house, and without asking why, they arrested all the people in the villain's house, and then forced the villain's father to tell where the food in the house was!"

After speaking, he said again: "All the nearly 6,000 stone of grain that has been accumulated in the villain's house for many years has been pulled away by him in a horse-drawn cart."

Marchand said this, but the master suddenly remembered that the stacking of grain in the wet warehouse was a bit strange, and it stands to reason that the corn piled on the top of the grain pile should be newly produced corn, while the stock of the wet warehouse he saw was a pile of heavy grain next to each other.

At this time, the master father Yan suddenly had an idea, could it be that the grain in the root warehouse and the wet warehouse in Hedong was forcibly seized by the Taishou Shen Tu Gong?

Just when the master's father was thinking about it, Ma Shang said again, "The villain is in the prison, and the people he sees seem to be the rich people in Anyi City."

As soon as this sentence came out, the master father Yan strengthened his guess, and Shen Tugong said that it was necessary to rob all the heroes and strongmen in Anyi City, so that the grain of the root warehouse and the wet warehouse would match the number contained in the accounts.

"Do you really want to ask to see His Royal Highness?" , the master asked.

"Yes! The villain has one more day of news, and wants to report it to His Highness."

Hearing this, the master father knew that the person in front of him had not yet confided everything in his belly.

Secret Channel: I'm still a person who doesn't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles............

However, before taking this person to see Liu Rong, the master father Yan still had a little more heart, and ordered someone to bribe the jailer in the prison in Anyi City with money, and learned from his mouth that the entire prison was the powerful in Anyi City at this moment.

In this way, the next day, the master's father Yan asked Zhi Du, who was still in Anyi City to check the rest of the clues, and returned to Fenyin to see Liu Rong.

Zhidu didn't care much about the master's father, so naturally he wouldn't stop him from leaving......

For the sake of safety, the master father Yan ordered the servants who came with him to stay in Anyi, and asked Na Ma Shang to change into the clothes of his family servants and go to Fenyin with the master father.

Sure enough, as soon as the master father Yan left the city, Shen Tugong received a report from Yang Wu, a long history.

"Then why did the master leave the city?"

"Back to the envoy, that person said that His Royal Highness has summoned him to go back to Fenyin, and he has something to entrust."

After speaking, he said again: "And when this man left, he only took two followers, and the rest of the soldiers and house slaves were still in the place where he lived."

Hearing this, Shen Tugong nodded and relaxed slightly, "What did Zhi Du find?" ”。

Yang Wu said with a smile: "Rest assured, a few days ago, he had finished counting the root warehouse and the wet warehouse, and there was no discrepancy except for the tens of thousands of stone corn that His Majesty ordered us to help the victims of the disaster in Hedong."

In the past few days, I haven't seen any movement from Zhi Tingwei."

Hearing that there was no movement in Zhidu, Shen Tugong laughed: "The name of Zhidu Goshawk is known to the world, but in today's view, it is nothing more than that."

Then he said with a cold face: "Go and tell the prison history Zhang Jian to eradicate all those people in the prison one day to prevent future troubles!" ”。

"No!".

Then Shen Tu Gong discussed with Yang Wu, so that he could pull the two of Xinyuan County Commander and Fenyin County Commander Xu Teng into the water, and use the heads of the two of them to calm the attention of the entire court to Hedong.

However, two days later, when the servants in the Zhidu Mansion opened the door in the early morning, they saw several bamboo slips placed in front of the mansion gate.

The slave picked up the bamboo slips on the ground, and looked around, but there was no one to see, so they had to take the bamboo slips to the main hall.

"The master of the house, this is the simple slip that the slave maid saw outside the gate of the house", after finishing speaking, he handed over the bamboo slip in his hand to Zhidu.

Zhidu opened these several slips and saw that they were all the crimes of Wang Wei, the commander of Xinyuan County, and Xu Teng, the commander of Fenyin County, and who received bribes in what year and month, and the records were clear one by one.

"It seems that there are still people with ulterior motives in this Hedong County......."

……………………………………………………………………

And the master father Yan came out of Anyi, and arrived at the place where Liu Rong was stationed in Fenyin at dusk.

Liu Rong originally waited for Tang Sheng's return all day, but he didn't want Tang Sheng to come yet, but waited for the master's father to come first.

"I ordered Qing to follow Zhi Tingwei to Anyi to inspect the grain in the root warehouse and wet warehouse, how can anyone return today?".

"Although there is no shortage of grain in the root warehouse and wet warehouse, His Royal Highness has made another major discovery in Anyi City!"

There is no shortage of generals in the official warehouse, which is really a little surprising to Liu Rong, but Liu Rong smiled and said, "Oh? Why? ”。

But the master's father Yan said with a happy face: "According to the ministers, it seems that the heroes and powers in Anyi City have all been confiscated by Zhou Yangyou, the Taishou of Hedong, and put in prison."

"My Han family is too strong to punish the local heroes, what's the wonder?"

"Your Royal Highness, this is indeed a strange thing, but the minister knows that when Shentu Taishou confiscated such a powerful house, he even confiscated all the grain stored in his home, and according to the minister's view, the grain stored in the wet warehouse seems to be the heavy grain that has been aged for several years!"

After speaking, he told Liu Rong about the matter of Ma Shang from beginning to end.

When Liu Rong heard it, that person still had an important piece of news to see Liu Rong before he was willing to confide it.

When he said, "Where is Ma Shang?" ”。

The master father saluted and said: "When the minister traveled today, he was asked to disguise himself as a slave of the minister's family and go to the camp with the minister, and at this time he waited outside the tent for His Highness's summons."

Hearing this, Liu Rong nodded, and felt more and more that this master father was now doing things more and more appropriately.

"Call him in."

"No!" After finishing speaking, as soon as he gave up his hand, the master father Yan went out of the big tent to call that Ma Shang.

The biggest official Ma Shang has ever seen in his life is only a long history of Hedong rank than a thousand stones, even if he is too shou Shen Tugong has never seen it, let alone a prince..................

When he heard the lord's father say that His Royal Highness the prince had summoned him, although Ma Shang was excited in his heart, his legs trembled.

It was only with the support of the master father that he was able to get up and walk into the big tent.

Although Liu Rong is not very old, he sits in the big tent, but he also has a bit of a kingly spirit.

As soon as this Ma Shang entered the account, he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, saying: "The villain greets His Highness, the people in the countryside can see His Highness in this life, and the villain is enough in this life."

From Emperor Gao Liu Bang to today's Son of Heaven, Liu Rong's father Liu Qi, the reputation of the Son of Heaven of the Han family has always been very good, especially Liu Rong's grandfather, Emperor Xiaowen Liu Heng, is known as the Son of Heaven in the people, even at this time, the old man in the countryside will still talk about the benevolence of the first emperor from time to time.

In this way, this Ma Shang will think that only the son of His Majesty today, the eldest son of the emperor, Liu Rongbai, can make decisions for himself and redress his grievances.

Liu Rong got straight to the point and said: "You are Ma Shang, I listen to the words of the master father, do you have a major matter to explain to me face to face?" ”。

"Yes, the villain only dares to say anything about this matter when he sees His Highness."

But the master knows a truth, what he should know will definitely know, and if he doesn't, he will bring unwarranted disaster to himself. Without waiting for Liu Rong to say more, the master father withdrew from the big tent with a salute.

"Tell me whatsoever."

"Your Highness, this year since the beginning of the year there has been drought and little rain, resulting in a great drought in Hedong corn harvest, after the government has collected taxes, ordinary people have no food to survive this disaster year.

However, within a few months, the price of grain in Hedong began to rise, and the hungry people began to sell their fields in exchange for money to buy grain.

Later, because most of the grain in the family was sold to the victims, some people began to buy the grain stored in the wet warehouse from the Hedong County Government and resold it to the people to make huge profits."

Since ancient times, it has been common for officials and profiteers to cooperate to exploit the common people at the bottom, and Liu Rong really saw that the officials only cared about their own "food" and completely ignored the lives of the people.

Liu Rong, who was angry, slapped the book case and said angrily: "Thief! Han thief! What a thief! Your Highness will kill him! ”。

Then he asked again: "I heard my master father say that your family has 3,000 acres of land, and it is also a rich and powerful family, and you must have participated in the resale of official grain, how dare you explain it to Your Highness?" ”。

"Your Highness! Although the villain's family has some land, he never dares to fish and oppress the people in the village, and he does not dare to buy and sell the grain of the official warehouse. And when the drought occurred, the little father also took out a thousand stones of grain to help the hungry. Look forward to His Highness's Mingjian".
