Chapter 1462: Where Did the Food Go? (below)
Wei Guifei is about to go crazy......
"You resold the grain from Jingyang Yicang?"
"Sister Wise ......"
Wei Yijie was completely arrogant and depressed.
"I ......"
Wei Guifei stroked her forehead with her hand, not knowing what to say.
Jingyang!
Now the eyes of the entire imperial court are staring at where it is, if it has not yet received the news of whether the Jinghe embankment can be kept, it is suddenly revealed that the grain in the Jingyang Yicang has been resold out...... It is said that this is not a heinous crime, this kind of thing has been done a lot, but in case the Jinghe embankment is not protected, the entire Jingyang and even Xianyang will be ravaged by floods......
Then this matter will inevitably rise to an infinite height, and even all the black cauldrons will be thrown over at that time - the imperial court needs an excuse to appease the people of Guanzhong, but Wei Yijie made such a mistake at this juncture, who do you not carry this pot?
"Sister, now you are the only one who can save me, and I am counting on you!"
Wei Yijie had just been at home to his cousin Wei Yifang's quick report in Jingyang, and it was because he had figured out the trick and had nothing to do for a while, so he ran into the palace to beg Wei Guifei to save him.
Wei Guifei gritted her silver teeth, glared at her brother in front of her with hatred, and said helplessly: "I'm a woman, how can I know these things?" Besides, what can I do now? Now that Jingyang is in charge, Fang Jun and Cheng Yanjin, and there is even the imperial history of the Yushitai supervising on the side, can you expect them to let you go? ”
If someone else is in charge of Jingyang, maybe you can use Webster's energy to do something to see if you can suppress this matter.
But Cheng Biting Jin has always been a fan of the family's gate valves, that is, his Yue's Qinghe Cui family has nothing to do with the door, how can he give Wei's face?
The most difficult thing is still Fang Jun, when the eldest grandson died, Wei Yijie almost dismissed Fang Jun and exiled him for 3,000 miles...... Now even if Webster begs to come to the door with a shy face, how can Fang Jun not fall into the well and declare a personal vendetta?
It's a dead end......
Wei Guifei sighed helplessly, it was really unpleasant to retribution, if Wei Yijie hadn't framed Fang Jun to death like that, how could he have a desperate situation where there was no way to ask for help today?
And Liu Xun is not easy to follow, that guy is a mad dog, he bites the flesh, how can he let go easily?
Wei Yijie hurriedly said: "There must be no way to do it over there in Jingyang, and I definitely can't cover it, but my sister can say a few kind words in front of His Majesty...... In the end, it's just some food, and my brother will make up for it all...... No, double, can't you make up for double? Jingyang suffered from this disaster, even if it was preserved, it would inevitably be greatly damaged, and these grains could just help the local people and reduce the burden on the imperial court. Sister, only His Majesty's forgiveness can make my younger brother unhindered, you can't watch your younger brother lose his official position and be dismissed from the army, right? ”
"Alas......"
Wei Guifei sighed bitterly in embarrassment, raised one hand and pressed her temples with a faint pain, and her heart was numb for a while.
Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, "What did my father say?" ”
Wei Yijie's face changed, squeaked, Wei Guifei was so angry that she stomped her feet, and said coquettishly: "So far, do you still want to hide anything from me?" ”
Wei Yijie knew that this sister was the only one who could save him at the moment, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Father...... The younger brother had not yet told his father about it. ”
"What?!"
Wei Guifei's beautiful eyes suddenly rounded, and she lost her voice: "You resold the grain in Jingyang Yicang, and you actually hid it from your father?" ”
She couldn't help but be shocked, when did this well-behaved and intelligent younger brother become so bold?
This matter is indeed serious, but whether his father Wei Yuancheng knows it or not is of a completely different nature.
If the father knew about it, then the family must have masterminded the matter, and even if the whole family was behind the mistake now, even if he was eventually punished severely, the family would compensate for it. But if his father didn't know, then this matter was obviously Wei Yijie's own opinion, and he made personal gains by reselling grain. Since it is for its own profit, the family will naturally not pay the price to save Wei Yijie, even if Wei Yijie is the eldest son and grandson, he can't bypass the hurdle of family rules......
Wei Yijie cried and nodded in shame.
Wei Guifei didn't know what to say anymore......
"You just die, I can't control this matter, whether you live or die, you can rest on your destiny!"
As soon as the slender waist was twisted, Wei Guifei turned around angrily and wanted to leave.
Wei Yijie couldn't care much, "poof" knelt on the ground, hugged Wei Guifei's legs, and cried: "Sister save me!" ”
Wei Guifei was hugged by her legs, although she was her own brother, she also felt red-faced, gritted her teeth and said hatefully: "Let go, if you are seen, what kind of system will it become?" ”
Wei Yijie is desperate now, where can he take care of any system? My father doesn't know about this matter at present, if he knows that he has caused such a catastrophe, then he still has to peel his own skin alive? Now the only one who can help him is the sister in front of him......
"I don't let go, if my sister doesn't help me, then let me die in this Taiji Palace, it's better than charging the army, life is better than death......"
My brother is a scoundrel, what can I do as a sister?
Wei Guifei struggled twice and didn't break free, she was angry and anxious, so she had to say: "You let go, and then think about it in the long run." ”
Wei Yijie let go at this time, and his handsome face was full of remorse.
Wei Guifei felt a pain in her heart, threw the handkerchief in her hand to him, and said angrily: "Don't wipe it quickly!" ”
After his mood stabilized, Wei Yijie sat in front of Wei Guifei, and Wei Guifei asked, "You have to tell your sister what happened, right?" Otherwise, even in front of Your Majesty, I don't know how to excuse you. ”
Wei Yijie hurriedly said: "In fact, it is a trivial matter, last year's drought in Youzhou, the grain harvest was poor, and the price of grain has risen to ten wen this summer, while Guanzhong is only five or six wen." The younger brother thought that if he transported a batch of grain to Youzhou to sell, he also felt that if such a light business was interrogated by the family, the younger brother would not be able to get the benefit of a few pennies...... So he discussed with the righteous side and resold the grain in the Jingyang Yicang, which can be regarded as a generous and generous ......"
The life of the children of the family is not easy, the rules at home are very strict, and the withdrawal of money and silk cannot be unlimited, but the cost of eating, drinking and having fun is very high, and it is normal for people to make a little other living in private.
Not every gentleman has Fang Jun's ability to turn stones into gold......
Wei Guifei picked it up beautifully, and snorted coldly: "But I never thought that the grain was transported away, but I just caught up with the Jinghe River, but this grain can't be transported back if you want to?" ”
Wei Yijie was ashamed: "That's right. ”
Wei Guifei thought for a while: "You transported the grain to Youzhou, but you are partnering with others?" ”
Wei Yijie shook his head and said, "It's just fifty or sixty thousand stone grain, how much money can you make?" If it is a partnership with others, it is better for the family to come forward, and the younger brother has a subordinate who is a child of the Yuan family in Youzhou, and his family is also the largest grain merchant in Youzhou, so this matter is operated through his advice. The grain was transported to Youzhou and sold to the Yuan family, and their family settled the payment directly, and now the grain has arrived in Jiangnan, and they originally planned to buy grain at a low price in several prefectures and counties in Jiangnan, and then fill the Yicang, but unexpectedly, the water came too suddenly......"
The more he said that he felt wronged, what is the matter?
Almost every family gate valve will do some such little tricks in private, since everyone does this, what's the problem? Even in Wei Yijie, he thought that instead of letting those grains rot and mold in the righteous warehouse, it was better to earn some price difference for himself, and then fill in some new grain back to the warehouse, which was a good deed for the imperial court......
Wei Guifei is also a smart woman, her mind is quick, she thought about it for a while, and then said, "What is the relationship between that Yuan disciple and you?" Presumably, there must be grain in Yuan's granary now, you might as well go to him, discuss with him, and say that because of the lack of grain in Youzhou, the grain in Jingyang Yicang will be transferred to the emergency rescue...... In this way, although it is difficult to escape the criminal responsibility of transferring grain to the Yicang without authorization, it is a world of difference compared with the private resale of the grain in the Yicang. ”
Mistakes are different from mistakes, it is a mistake to allocate food to Youzhou for emergency relief, but after all, it is for the imperial court, the crime is unforgivable but excusable, at most it can be regarded as doing something wrong with good intentions.
However, it is a real crime to resell grain in the righteous warehouse in private, and the two must not be the same.
Hearing that Wei Guifei came up with such an idea, Wei Yijie not only did not show his face, but became more and more depressed: "My younger brother also thought of this, but my younger brother sent someone to discuss with the Yuan family's disciples, but was told that that guy was seriously ill because of his relatives at home...... I had already returned to Youzhou an hour ago. ”
Wei Guifei was stunned: "Such a coincidence? ”
Wei Yijie was about to cry: "It's such a coincidence." ”
The two sisters and brothers glanced at each other, and Wei Guifei's heart sank.
The two sisters and brothers thought of one thing, and often the more coincidental things are, the more wrong they are......
