After these high-ranking officials entered, the door was quickly closed, and various voices gradually sounded inside, I don't know if it was far away or other reasons, and the hearing was not very clear.

Zhou Zheng and these imperial historians stood outside the door, motionless, and stood cross-legged with the guards, very neatly and orderly.

The green tendons on Zhou Zheng's head were still jumping, but his heart gradually calmed down, and his eyes were not looking at Li Hengbing, but his ears were pricked up, listening to the sound inside the door.

He couldn't hear what was being said, but he could feel that someone was slapping the table, yelling, and the ministers were arguing with reason, and several voices were alternating in turn, with a sense of not wanting to give in to each other.

It didn't take long for the voices to be gone, and there was only one voice that kept saying something, vague, inaudible, and still audible with anger.

Then, the voice became even more angry, as if it was smashing something, bang, bang.

Without waiting for Zhou Zheng to think carefully, his face suddenly changed slightly, and he saw a group of brocade guards striding up, standing at the door, holding an iron rod.

There was a leader of the inner prison, staring coldly at the closed door, with an angry face.

But these people didn't rush in, and the angry voices in the door seemed to stop, and not long after, another voice sounded, Zhou Zheng couldn't hear what was said, but it seemed to be going well, and there was no smell of gunpowder just now.

Zhou Zheng stood at the door, his face was as usual, and he shook his head secretly in his heart. Although I don't know what happened, but in short, there is a lot of nonsense, and ten days and a half months may not stop, but I don't know if it will involve Zhejiang Road.

But in all major events, the official will never be absent. Whether it's really dedicated to the country, or trying to clear your name, in short, just do the right thing!

I don't know how long it took, the palace gate was opened again, and these adults came out in groups of three or five, talking as they went.

Zhou Zheng looked at these people and watched them leave, walking away.

The last two people who came out suddenly stopped and started talking at the door.

One of them said: "It's not that I don't give money, it's that I really don't have money, don't you know the background of the treasury?" ”

Another said: "You said there is no money, but the Yellow River is flooding this summer, and the people's grievances are boiling so far, hundreds of thousands of people are displaced, and if they don't repair it, what will they do next year?" ”

"You ask me, I ask who I am? The money in the treasury is in the hands of Yuansuke, and you ask him to ask for it......"

"My lord, you have pity and pity on the lower officials, approve 200,000, just 200,000, I don't want more, I will repair the river for 200,000, so that the victims can return to their hometowns......"

“…… I really don't have any money, so let's do it, Caoyun owes 180,000 taels of silver to the household, if you want it back, I'll give it to you, otherwise you will force me to death, and I can't ......help it."

After this person finished speaking, he shook his hand and left, and the other hurriedly chased after him, still begging bitterly.

Zhou Zheng looked at the two people who were chasing me one after the other, and his eyes were a little glazed.

The Yellow River burst, there was a big flood, and there were countless victims, such a major event, just a few words to shirk the clean, and do nothing?

Zhou Zheng had the heart to wait for Huang Liji, but Huang Liji never came out and seemed to follow the emperor.

Not long after, the Qianqing Palace slowly closed the door, and Hu Qingzheng breathed a sigh of relief, walked over and whispered: "Let's go, let's talk about something when we go back." ”

Zhou Zheng also opened his eyes today, glanced at Li Hengbing, who had turned around, and hummed, as when he came, lined up, set off from the front of the Qianqing Palace, returned to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and after the order, they went back to the class room.

It's not time to get off work yet, and everyone has to wait. But I didn't eat for a day, and the front of more than 40 classes was busy.

Yao Tongshun was in and out, arranging meals for Zhou Zheng and the like, and reporting all kinds of news.

Zhou Zheng did not lament the collapse of the Ming Dynasty, but was thinking about Li Hengbing's affairs, his eyes were as dark as the deep sea, flashing with a trace of essence.

For a long time, Yao Tongshun saw that Zhou Zheng was still eating and thinking at the same time, he already knew what was going on in front of the Qianqing Palace, so he approached and said in a low voice: "My lord, this matter should still be discussed openly with Li Yushi, otherwise it will be the result of losing both." ”

In Yao Tongshun's view, Zhou Zhengneng has shown enough ability to settle the Dengwengu case. Li Hengbing, no matter how deep his background is, will not be life and death because of a sentence, he should be like an official, solve it with a drink, and then move forward hand in hand to get promoted and make a fortune together.

Zhou Zheng's chopsticks suddenly paused, raised his head suddenly, and looked at Yao Tongshun with blazing eyes.

Yao Tongshun was taken aback, and then said cautiously: "Adult, did the villain say something wrong?" ”

Zhou Zheng put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, looked very calm, and said, "You are right, at this time, it is time to talk frankly." ”

Yao Tongshun watched Zhou Zheng stand up, his face was first happy and then surprised, and hurriedly said: "My lord, don't be impulsive, all kindness is precious." ”

Zhou Zheng didn't seem to hear it, and walked out of the class room and went straight to Li Hengbing's class room.

Yao Tongshun was very worried, but he didn't dare to follow, so he could only stand at the door and watch Zhou Zheng approach Li Hengbing's class.

Li Hengbing was eating, the clear soup was watery, and there was no oil at all.

He saw Zhou Zheng walking to the door, didn't say anything, and continued to eat, as usual.

Zhou Zheng didn't report anything, walked straight in, came to Li Hengbing's table, glanced at his food, and saw a string of Buddha beads on the table, looked at Li Hengbing's face, and said: "If you are enchanted in your heart, the Buddha can't be saved." ”

Li Hengbing paused with his chopsticks, then put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, raised his head to look at Zhou Zheng, and said lightly: "Are you here for a showdown?" ”

Zhou Zheng looked at his gloomy expression and said, "If you want to harm me with your ability and means, you can come directly, one move is fatal, why are you so detouring?" ”

"I'm testing you." Li Hengbing replied casually, his gloomy expression was reduced, and he was more majestic and upright.

Just like Zhou Zheng looked when he saw him for the first time, Zhou Zheng was a little surprised by his directness, and said, "Test me for what?" ”

Li Hengbing stared at Zhou Zheng, like a tiger ready to attack, his voice was as sharp as a sword, and said: "Li Shi sent you silver and power, can you stand your heart in front of power and wealth?" You said before that I only donated 300 taels, which is selfish and has no heart for the country...... So what about you, with so much money in hand, how much do you plan to donate to the imperial court? ”

"That's why?" Zhou Zheng's eyes flickered, if he did so many things just like this, isn't this a perversion?

Li Hengbing said: "Yes, you can answer my question." ”

Zhou Zheng couldn't tell the truth of his words from Li Hengbing's face, he pondered for a moment and said, "Don't donate a penny." ”

Li Hengbing's eyes seemed to be a little surprised, and said, "Don't donate a penny?" ”

Zhou Zheng raised his head and chest, his expression was awe-inspiring, and said: "If I donate to the imperial court, less than ten taels of one hundred taels can be implemented, and I can donate it directly to the generals on the front line, and I can buy food and materials for them...... If there is really a national disaster, I will take up arms to defend the city, and I would rather be broken than broken, and I will never grovel, kneel and kowtow to the ground and call a slave ......"

Li Hengbing listened, was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "I can do it too." ”

Zhou Zheng looked at him, but shook his head and said, "If you come out of the edict, it means that you are not this kind of person, don't lie to yourself." ”

Li Hengbing's face sank suddenly, his eyes were wide open, full of bloodshots, his eyes were extremely cold staring at Zhou Zheng, and he said word by word: "You know that these words of yours will kill you!" ”
