Chapter 11 Stabilizing Food Prices IV

The doctor who had been waiting outside the door was busy for a long time, Hu Yingjia finally woke up faintly, and grabbed the long retinue standing at the head of the bed with a trembling hand: "Quick, immediately contact Feng Shuangxin, let him take over a part of the grain at the price of one or two cents of silver and one stone, first flatten the account of the disaster relief silver, and quietly take the name of the official to visit the two political envoys, and ask them to help us, otherwise his wealthy businessmen in Henan will all go bankrupt, and we must stop these Jiangxi Yankees and make their business unsuccessful!" ”

"Yes, the little ones will do it, adults, you must take care of your health!" Chang Sui said with a concerned face, turned around and ran out of the door in a hurry, if this matter is not done well, waiting for his own adults will be left with a dead end, who asked him to redo the account books in advance, the more than 400,000 taels of silver that were originally allocated to the counties in the account books were actually in the pocket when the accounts were re-made last time, and then they were replenished with the high-priced grain in their hands, so that even if the imperial court sent someone to investigate, they could not find the slightest loophole.

Now it's a good thing, such a sudden incident immediately pushed his own adults to the edge of the cliff, if you don't quickly sell off the more than 400,000 taels of silver on this account, it will be a situation from which there will be no return.

After instructing this, Hu Yingjia's face looked a lot better, except for another long attendant, and waved the rest of the people out: "Quick, immediately rush to the capital to tell Lord Ouyang about this matter, and ask him what is going on, why such a large batch of grain from Jiangxi was transported into Henan, and his old man did not send a message to inform him, in addition, please ask his old man to think of a way to see if he can suppress this matter:"

Just when Hu Yingjia sent people to be busy with these things, Feng Shuangxin, who was in Guide, stood tremblingly in front of a Jinyi official.

This person is Chen Xiao, when Shen Chongming concluded that Wuwei was likely to appear in Henan in prison, on the one hand, he reported the matter to the imperial court, and on the other hand, he wrote to Nanjing to let his right-hand man Chen Xiao come to assist.

This time there was such a sudden incident, Shen Chongming hurriedly went to Kaifeng to sit in town, and Chen Xiao returned to Guide to help him keep an eye on the matter of greedy ink, coupled with the assistance of Liu Shouyou's right-hand man who was transferred from the capital, not only the situation in the entire Guide Mansion was controlled by him, but even the suspicious characters who were identified some time ago could not be let go.

Originally, there should have been a robbery early this morning, but under the sudden appearance of Jiangxi grain merchants and the sudden attack of Jinyiwei, it immediately dissipated into invisibility, and Wuwei was >finally cultivated in HenanAs soon as Shen Chongming moved, Chen Xiao also moved, holding the emperor's secret decree and rushing into the Guide Mansion with dozens of subordinates, and the beauty was already lying down.

"Governor Feng, according to these account records, the one million taels of disaster relief silver allocated by the imperial court are still 430,000 taels in your Treasury of Guide Mansion, this matter has ever been true!" Chen Xiao closed the account book and asked with a smile.

Governor Feng laughed dryly, just now he had already thought that this matter was not something he could bear, and now his life was important, so he could only directly push Hu Yingjia out to block it: "Don't hide it from Lord Chen, this disaster relief silver is all in the responsibility of Lord Hu Yingjia, the disaster relief minister, and the lower official is a magistrate, and he can't intervene at all, so how much silver is left, the lower official doesn't know!" ”

"Oh, I see! In this case, please ask Governor Feng to lead the way in front and take the officials to the silver treasury to inspect it! Chen Xiao got up and said.

"This ...... That's not quite right, is it? The silver in the treasury is allocated by Lord Hu, and I have to ask him what he means if I can check it! Governor Feng said resignedly, when the time comes, go in and check, the big loopholes can no longer be covered, Hu Yingjia will definitely die at that time, and he, the magistrate of Germany, is afraid that he will also be in danger, after all, the silver is stored in the place under his own jurisdiction, if you want to say that you don't know at all, I am afraid that it is a free ghost who believes it.

"Hu Yingjia, don't hide it from Lord Feng, his post of Qincha has been removed, and now the Qincha Lord Shen is the prime minister of Henan, not only including disaster relief and water conservancy, but also the governance of local officials is also the main content of Lord Shen's inventory, and the lower officials came this time to almost give disaster relief silver on the orders of Lord Shen!" Chen Xiao's face was proud, and he was still thinking about delaying time at this time, but he really didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Governor Feng's expression tightened, and his mind immediately flipped up, even the Qin Cha was changed, it seems that the imperial court has already understood the matter of the disaster relief silver being embezzled, if so, I would like to thank Lord Hu for re-doing the account this time, so it can only be regarded as misappropriation, not greedy ink, as long as the activities in the capital are good, I am afraid that this crime will not cost his life, and if he does not report it, it will be much lighter, maybe it will be a reprimand and a downgrade.

Completely relieved, Governor Feng smiled and said, "Since this is the case, then the lower official will take the adults there!" As he spoke, he made a gesture of please.

The group rushed to the silver vault, Chen Xiao went in to take a look, but it was not much different from what he guessed, except for the dust accumulated in the past few months, there was not even a copper plate left.

"Lord Feng, where's the silver?" Chen Xiao looked back at Governor Feng and asked, "This ...... Lord Chen, you also know that since Lord Hu arrived in Guide Mansion, there are mainly silver taels for disaster relief, and Xiaguan, a local official, no longer asks about this matter, so he wants to know where the silver goes? You have to ask Master Hu! ”

Chen Xiao smiled, waved his hand and said: "Lord Feng misunderstood, what the lower officials asked was not about the disaster relief silver, but about your own silver deposited in the Guide Mansion, and there is not a copper plate here, so where did the salaries of the officials of the Guide Mansion come from?" ”

Governor Feng couldn't help but stammer, smiled embarrassedly and couldn't speak, but he was so angry in his heart, Lord Hu is really playing big this time, and the silver you have on hand will be used, even the poor five thousand silver in Guide Mansion will not be spared, it is really hateful, you let the big guy drink the northwest wind!

"Lord Feng, you really don't know where the money went!" Chen Xiao looked at Governor Feng's face with embarrassment, but he had no intention of letting him go.

Governor Feng is also a clever person, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he thought of a good place: "Lord Chen, you don't know yet, right!" I returned to Huang Huaicai, the magistrate of Ningling County, Defu, who was greedy for disaster relief silver, which led to the shortage of grain in Ningling County. ”

"Hehehe!" Chen Xiao was overjoyed, these people can really make it up, seeing this, Governor Feng also laughed embarrassedly, and said that he had been lucky again.

"Bold Feng Shuangxin, dare to lie at this time, come on, take it for this official!" Chen Xiao's face changed, and he pointed to Governor Feng, who had not yet lost the smile on his face, and shouted.

Governor Feng was startled, and he didn't react until his arms were grabbed, and said hurriedly: "Lord Chen, what are you doing here?" ”

"What to do? Hmph, this is the personal bodyguard of the sister flower for the good things you did! With that, Chen Xiao took out an account book from his arms and handed it to Governor Feng.

As soon as he saw this thing in his hand, Governor Feng immediately wilted, this is nothing else, it is the first time he was greedy for those silvers, he left a private account book, which clearly records the actual disaster relief silver distributed everywhere, as well as the share that Hu Yingjia promised to himself and those under his hands, the reason why he wants this is also a last resort, if there is nothing in his hand to grasp, it is very likely that he will be put together by Hu Yingjia in the end, so that he can swallow the silver alone.

It's just that I never thought that this account book that I hid in the bedroom would fall into the hands of Jin Yiwei, could it be that there was a traitor by his side.

However, Chen Xiao didn't have time to explain this matter to him at this time, and now that he has Feng Shuangxin, the next thing to do is to capture all the officials involved in the case, and then quickly obtain a confession that is unfavorable to Hu Yingjia.

Hu Yingjia's officialdom has been up and down for nearly 20 years, and he is a royal historian who picks on other people's faults on weekdays, and he has rich experience in counter-reconnaissance.

And just as Governor Feng thought, the last time he made an account inadvertently saved his life, if there is no stronger evidence, at most it can only be regarded as misappropriation of disaster relief money allocated by the imperial court.

Ouyang Jingzhi in the capital is the top boss of this guy, and Ouyang Jingzhi is Xu Jie's person, after the incident, he will definitely help Hu Yingjia mediate in the court, at least to save his life, and even not let him lose his official position, so as to give other officials under him a psychological hint, look, this is the benefit of following Boss Xu.

You must know that once all the officials in the court join forces, even the emperor will have to give in, so if you want to make this case an iron case, you must have enough evidence to prove that Hu Yingjia is greedy for disaster relief money and not embezzlement, only in this way will Xu Jie, Ouyang Jing and others be powerless to overturn the case.

There was a lot of officials who had fallen off the horse in full swing here, and the urgent letter from Kaifeng flew to the mansion, and the people who came didn't know that there had been a big change in the Guide Mansion, so they ran in with the letter: "Lord Prefect, Lord Hu is in a hurry!" ”

His legs and feet were numb and he ran into the mansion, and after shouting, he realized that something was wrong, why are there so many brocade guards!

At this time, Chen Xiao, who was trying the case in the main hall, heard the voice and walked out: "Hehe, Master Hu's letter, yes, this official is waiting for this thing?" Hurry up and get it! ”

Several Jinyi lieutenants on the left and right also sneered, rubbed their palms and surrounded the messenger: "Goo! Swallowing his saliva with difficulty, the messenger took out the letter very familiarly, he was just a subordinate, even if it was the East Window incident, he didn't have much to do with it, and there was no need to go with the funeral.

"Well, Master Hu has a good calculation, the price of grain in the past two days has been 500 yuan, and he is embarrassed to enter the account according to one or two cents of silver and one stone, which is powerful enough!" Chen Xiao glanced at the contents of the letter and muttered to himself, and then walked in with the letter.

Shocked, he shouted at Governor Feng, who had been insisting that he had nothing to do with Hu Yingjia for a whole day and night: "Feng Shuangxin, you said that you have no relationship with Hu Yingjia, and you don't know the specific whereabouts of the disaster relief silver, so what is this?" ”

As he spoke, he handed the letter to a subordinate beside him and asked him to show it to Feng Shuangxin.

Feng Shuangxin, who was originally worried, immediately collapsed to the ground as soon as he saw the contents, this time it was really over, this letter involved everything, Hu Yingjia, a bastard thing, actually let himself immediately transport his grain storage in Guide Mansion to the affected county, and then completely flatten the accounts, just at this moment, he was implicated,
