Chapter 252

Before entering the house, Di Renjie asked the servant at the door if his father Di Zhixon was at home.

After receiving the servant's affirmative answer, Di Renjie took Xiao Su and hurriedly rushed into the backyard.

Walking outside Di's father's study, Di Renjie knocked on the door, and Di Zhixun pushed the door close before Di Zhixun could speak.

His hurried appearance made even Xiao Su who was following behind him feel a little inappropriate, let alone Di Zhixun.

Di Renjie was about to say that before he could speak, Di Zhixun said: "Something big happened, why are you in such a hurry." ”

Seeing that Di Zhixun was a little unhappy, Di Renjie hurriedly confessed and continued: "Father, do you remember the incident of the Kuizhou plague? ”

The plague in Kuizhou can be said to be the most important thing in the history of Di Zhixun when he served as the governor of Kuizhou, that is, he forgot each other, and he couldn't forget it.

"Why did you bring this up all of a sudden?" Dickinson knew his son very well, and he would not have brought it up unless it was something very important.

"When I was in Zhaojiatai today, Zhao Guang, the patriarch of Zhaojiatai, said that he had seen his father during the plague in Kuizhou......"

"So you want to know if your father saw him during the plague in Kuizhou?" Dicterson's tone was not very good, and he was even a little dissatisfied.

Di Renjie knew that his father had misunderstood him, and hurriedly explained: "That's not the case, according to Zhao Guang, my father had arranged ...... at that time."

In a few short sentences, Di Renjie gave a general idea of what Zhao Guang said.

Di Zhixon nodded and said, "It is true. Speaking of which, you were also in Kuizhou at that time, you should remember it. ”

As soon as the words fell, Di Zhixon continued: "But at that time, you knew all day long that it was normal to study and not know what was going on......

was embarrassed by his father, Di Renjie was a little helpless.

After reorganizing the language, he continued to ask, "I vaguely remember that at that time, my father seemed to have disposed of several officials because of the ineffective disaster relief?" ”

"It can't be said that it's because of the lack of disaster relief, to be precise, it should be because of corruption!" It's okay not to say it, but when it comes to this matter, Di Zhixon is still a little angry.

At that time, most of the officials and citizens of the city were fighting the plague with all their might.

In order to control the epidemic, Kuizhou adopted the method of lockdown control after reporting to the imperial court.

Although deaths are still inevitable, the spread of the epidemic can be controlled to the greatest extent.

However, this way of control also brings a lot of drawbacks.

One of the most difficult problems to solve is that people in the city cannot leave, and people outside the city cannot enter.

In this way, it not only brings panic among the people, but also a shortage of food.

In this situation, Di Zhixon proposed to open a warehouse to increase the volume, as long as the city gate was not opened for a day, the granary of the government would be opened to all the people, so that they could eat and drink without worry.

Di Zhixun's proposal was approved by the imperial court, but in just half a month, the huge Kuizhou warehouse was empty, and no grain could be released.

After surviving the epidemic, Di Zhixon immediately organized people to thoroughly investigate the Kuizhou granary.

At this time, it was discovered that the grain in Kuizhou Cang had been transferred to the rich merchants in the city by the officials of Hucao in collusion with the rich merchants in the city after the plague broke out, and they were ready to make a lot of money by relying on the plague.

Such a serious act of speculation is a great crime for civilians, not to mention that it is the officials of Hucao who do the work.

In this way, Cao was purged by Di Zhixun.

From Hu Cao joining the army, down to clerical officials, businessmen and wealthy households, a total of 17 people were involved in the case of Kuizhou Cang, one person was beheaded, and the rest were either exiled, or detained, or punished with confiscation.

And the beheaded soldier was surnamed Zhang.

Originally, according to the law, Zhang was beheaded, and his family could not have a good end. Either exile, or send the border army, or, send to the Sect Division.

Xu is Zhang joined the army and knew that what he was doing was too outrageous, so after receiving the money from the merchants, he exchanged the money for easy-to-carry antique calligraphy and paintings, handed it to his daughter, and bought the city gate division to let his daughter leave Kuizhou.

After speaking, Di Zhixun couldn't help but sigh and said, "I only learned about this matter after Zhang Shenjun died. If not, we must try to find a way to arrest the woman......"

"Father, do you remember the woman's name?"

"Aren't you going to tell me what's going on?"

As Di Renjie asked more and more, Di Zhixun also became interested.

Of course, part of the reason is that he doesn't want to go through such old accounts. After all, of course, things are not pleasant memories.

After hesitating for a moment, Di Renjie told Di Zhixun about Zhao Jiatai.

In fact, Di Zhixun had already guessed that it was Zhao Jiatai's matter, but he never figured out how Di Renjie related Zhao Jiatai's matter to Kuizhou's matter.

Although there is a statement of Zhao Guang in the middle, Zhao Guang's words sound like nonsense, and there is even a vague suspicion of diverting attention.

In this regard, Di Renjie only said that he didn't think Zhao Guang would talk about Kuizhou for no reason.

As for whether Zhao Guang was providing them with clues, Di Renjie was not very easy to judge. only said that he hoped that his father could help him find a way to find the name of the little lady of the Zhang family.

Speaking of which, Zhao Guang's original intention in mentioning this matter was to divert Di Renjie's attention.

Where would Zhao Guang have thought that because the events of that year were a deep thorn in Di Zhixun's heart, when Di Zhixun was still in Kuizhou, he copied a case file.

Even if he returns to his hometown, this case file has always been by his side.

Since it was a matter of human life, Di Zhixun didn't ask any more, and immediately returned to his bedroom, rummaging through the case files of the Kuizhou case.

Di Renjie took the case file and looked through it carefully, and after a while, a woman named Zhang Qianqian caught his attention.

This Zhang Qianqian is none other than Zhang Shenjun's daughter, the big fish who slipped through the net.

Judging from age alone, Zhang Qianqian was less than twenty when she left Kuizhou, and now she should be twenty-seven or eighteen.

However, because peasant women do farm work all year round, they always look older than the rich ladies in the city.

So this age corresponds to Zhao's age of about thirty.

Of course, it is too hasty to conclude that Zhang Qianqian is the Zhao family just by her age.

Even if Di Renjie dared to say this, the Zhao family would definitely not admit it.

In fact, when he left the house, Di Renjie had already made plans.
