"There is no silver in the treasury, how can the official allocate it?" Zhou Zheng looked at Mo Lingui and said.

Mo Lingui looked up at Zhou Zheng, and said in a somewhat gentle tone: "My lord, didn't the imperial court allocate you 100,000 taels of silver?" ”

Zhou Zheng was stunned for a moment and said, "The imperial court allocated 100,000 taels to this official?" Who did you listen to, and why didn't the official know? ”

Mo Lingui suddenly scolded in his heart, 100,000 taels, you want to swallow one alone, it is too ugly to eat, right?

Mo Lingui showed a smile on his face and said, "Adults don't have to hide it from the villain, the news has already spread all over Yongping Mansion." ”

Zhou Zheng sighed, pretended to be silent for a while, and said: "Then for disaster relief, someone has to go to control the river, the two ministers are either sick or absent, is it possible to ask the official to go to the disaster relief and control the river?" ”

Mo Lingui smiled and said, "My lord, you can leave it to the magistrates of each county to do it." ”

Zhou Zheng's expression seemed to be a little unwilling, and he said, "Okay, let them come to see the official." ”

Mo Lingui hurriedly said: "My lord, the three county magistrates are busy with business, I'm afraid that they don't have time to come to the government, you can just allocate the money directly." ”

Zhou Zheng leaned on the chair, slowly pinched his chin with his left hand, looked at Mo Lingui, laughed, and said, "Mo Lingui, do you think that this official is young and so easy to fool?" ”

Mo Lingui looked at Zhou Zheng's expression and was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head slightly, looked at Zhou Zheng with a deep meaning in his eyes, and said: "My lord, you only need to allocate ninety percent, no, eight achievements will do." ”

In his mind, Zhou Zheng took 20,000 taels, which was enough.

Zhou Zheng sneered in his heart, the eating appearance of these people was really direct, naked, and said slowly: "This official wants to look at the tax expenditure of Yongping Mansion over the years. ”

Mo Lingui seemed to see dissatisfaction from Zhou Zheng's face, but he still said: "Lord Hui, last year, there was a fire in the mansion, and the account books were burned. ”

Zhou Zheng sighed in his heart, these old oilers are not leaky, and they refuse to give him any usefulness.

"This official is here, do you continue to take leave, or will you come to duty today?" Zhou Zheng asked.

Mo Lingui pondered Zhou Zheng's words and said, "My lord, you still need to allocate the money of many officials first, otherwise your colleagues have no intention of doing anything......

"Then come with a heart!"

Zhou Zheng snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice outside: "Post a notice, the government will recruit officials at all levels, if Yongping Mansion does not have it, write a letter back to Beijing and transfer it from the capital!" All of you, dismissed! ”

Ding Qi outside responded loudly, and Mo Lingui and the others inside changed their expressions greatly, their eyes widened, their faces were shocked, and they looked at Zhou Zheng incredulously.

They, just like that, were dismissed?

Mo Lingui was shocked, but he quickly reacted and said: "The Inspector Lord, the villain and the others are the officials of Yongping Mansion, and the adults have no right to appoint and dismiss them, and they still need to discuss with the two Mansion Lords." ”

Zhou Zhengyi waved his hand and said, "This official is an envoy, acting for the affairs of Yongping Mansion, and there is no need to consult with anyone!" Go ahead. ”

This is indeed Zhou Zheng's power, even if it is Zuo Fu Cheng (notified) Zhang Yonglian and Right Fu Cheng (general judgment) Zheng Qing can't oppose it.

Mo Lingui looked at Zhou Zheng and was speechless for a while.

He didn't expect that not only did the money not arrive, but they were actually dismissed.

However, he immediately felt ruthless in his heart, you Zhou Zhengyun has just arrived, without our help, what are you! Wait for me to go back and tell Master Zhang, in less than half a month, you will definitely have to get out of Yongping Mansion in a gloomy way!

Even, you didn't leave Yongping Mansion with your life!

Mo Lingui didn't hide the ugliness on his face, sneered, and said, "My lord is so self-conscious." ”

After speaking, he limped around and left, and the people behind him looked at Zhou Zheng, hesitated, and followed Mo Lingui.

A group of people left, Ding Qi came in, and said a little angrily: "My lord, they are obviously greedy for the adult's money, and they don't take the adult seriously at all!" ”

Zhou Zheng didn't know where he was, he was even more angry in his heart, but his face was not leaking, and he said: "Yao Tongshun temporarily acts as the official's room, Zhang Heyi temporarily acts as the household room, you temporarily act as the torture room, Shangguan Lie temporarily acts as the prison department, recruit some people, and support the government first." ”

Ding Qi immediately said, "It's an adult." By the way, my lord, I have to ask Miss Shangguan to take care of the hospital, these people may do something out of the ordinary. ”

Zhou Zheng has always been cautious in doing things, and he snorted and said, "I will explain, you must also be careful, and you must bring people with you when you go in and out." ”

"Yes." Although Ding Qi was angry, he was also very excited, and being able to get Zhou Zheng's trust and reuse made him excited.

Zhou Zheng looked at Ding Qi's back, and said to himself with a faint gaze: "I don't have much time, I have to hurry, I can't spend ...... with them."

Zhou Zheng clearly remembered that in the second year of Chongzhen, Jianyu entered the fortress from Xifengkou, gave Daming a heavy blow, and at the same time plundered countless people and animals, which greatly enhanced Jianyu's strength.

Although there is a slight deviation in history because of his appearance, Zhou Zheng still does not dare to be careless, entering the customs from Xifengkou, whether it is going to the capital or going south to Shandong, he is a must-pass place here!

It's only two hundred miles!

It is now the first year of Chongzhen, that is, next year, and Zhou Zheng's time is a little more than a year!

Mo Lingui left the mansion, explained a few words to others, and rushed to Zhang's mansion.

Seeing Zhang Yonglian, he quickly relayed the conversation with Zhou Zheng in the past.

Zhang Yonglian listened, shook his head, and said, "Our Lord Patrol is really hearted......

Mo Lingui saw that Zhang Yonglian had no worry on his face, and immediately smiled and said, "Young man? It's not strange that my father is favored by the new emperor again, and he is pampered and arrogant......"

Zhang Yonglian lay on the rocking chair, shook it gently, laughed when he listened, and said: "That's right, wait, after a while, I found that his prefect's yamen was completely useless, so I should come and beg me." ”

Mo Lingui knows Zhang Yonglian's strength in Yongping Mansion, so Zheng Qing of the Right Mansion has not returned to his hometown and province, and he still does not dare to come back? He didn't know what was going on with the previous prefects, anyway, he didn't go to the government!

Mo Lingui laughed and said, "My lord, then, just hang it first?" ”

Zhang Yonglian's chair shook slightly, making a squeaky sound, thought for a moment, and said: "I can't just leave it alone, tell everyone that you are not allowed to go to the government office, and you are not allowed to sell anything to the government office, and I want to know everyone who is watching the government office, where they went, who they met, and what they did." ”

Mo Lingui's expression changed, and he said: "Yes, don't worry, the whole county listens to the adults, and no one dares to be disobedient." ”

Zhang Yonglian's old face did not move, and suddenly said: "Send someone to the capital to find out the bottom of this week's Zhengyun for me." ”

Mo Lingui was stunned for a moment and said, "My lord, haven't you inquired clearly?" ”

Zhang Yonglian said: "Hearsay is not enough to prove it, this Zhou Zhengyun can actually repel more than a hundred bandits, it's not a simple thing, there must be something in it that I don't know, go check it out for me." ”

Mo Lingui said cautiously: "My lord is worried, he has officers and soldiers escorting him?" ”

Zhang Yonglian said: "I don't rule out this possibility, in short, I don't feel at ease if I don't check it out." ”

Mo Lingui suddenly understood why Zhang Yonglian didn't clean up Zhou Zheng like he did with the previous prefects, and said: "It's an adult, send the villain's son, you must inquire carefully." ”

"Go and get back." Zhang Yonglian said.

"Yes." Mo Lingui said.
