Chapter 338: Adapting to the situation

Even if he is a martyr, he also scores 369 and so on, among them, the Shijue and the Shijue are very different. The Fang family was named the earl at the beginning, the world commander envoy, ranked twenty-second among the heroes, but some of the other heroes who were named earls entered the seal, and some were given the world knights, and Fang Shengjing did not make any more contributions after the martyrdom, and Yongle died in the fourth year, and the hereditary commander never moved to Fang Ling's father's head. Although Fang Ling is the son of Xungui, but there is a big brother on the top, but there is no part of him in the palace, if he hadn't entered the East Palace once when he was choosing an attendant and a companion for the emperor's grandson at that time, he would not have even seen Zhu Zhanji.

Therefore, although the Son of Heaven is no longer in Nanjing Palace, Fang Ling is still a little nervous when he stands in front of the noon gate for the first time in his life. When he found that many of the officials who came in and out of the noon gate were looking at him, he felt even more uncomfortable, and repeatedly warned himself in his heart to be calm and calm, and never lose face - this was not only his own face, but also Zhang Yue's face! Moreover, he could not live up to the kindness of his boss Zhou Bailing.

After a long time, a little eunuch finally ran out of the smoke, looked him up and down for a while, and then said loudly: "Lord Fang, His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun announced that you have entered the Wenhua Palace!" ”

Hearing that it was the emperor's grandson who was willing to summon him, Fang Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, although Zhang Yue was very sure when he told them at the beginning, it was not the same thing to do - not to mention, although these things in his hands were nominally obtained by him and Zhou Bailing sending someone to make a secret visit, this secret visit was really easy, it was simply unbelievable.

Following behind the little eunuch, he only watched passing by this palace and that hall, and he quickly lost his way when he had something in his heart, until he saw the plaque with gold characters on a blue background in the Wenhua Palace, he came to his senses and quickly straightened his clothes.

Zhu Zhanji has not been in a good mood these days, no matter how Huang Run investigates, the cause of death of the two old palace maids is still confusing, and in the end, it actually alarmed the crown princess Zhang. Reminded by his mother, he reluctantly dismissed the idea of continuing the thorough investigation. And yesterday I heard that my mother met Zhang Yue's wife, and he sent someone to inquire for a long time but there was no news, which was another matter. It's just that today I heard that Fang Ling was going to report the previous granary fraud case, so he had to cheer up.

Waving his hand and telling Fang Ling to get up, he had to look at the other party twice, and found that his person was upright and heroic, but he was a little nervous, not as calm as Zhang Yue - when this thought came to mind, he couldn't help but smile to himself, secretly thinking that he was really demanding to measure others by this standard. Looking at that face, he suddenly remembered an old thing.

"I remember you, you and Sun ...... back then Hmm, Sun Han took Zhang Yue to visit the Guozijian, you came out alone and bumped into me, and then you gave Zhang Yue a hard look, yes or no? Seeing that Fang Ling was unspeakable, he couldn't help but smile and said, "It's been three years ago, Zhang Yue entered the literary career from the imperial examination, and you and Sun Han have changed their careers as military attachés." However, people have their own paths, and both civil and military are the same. It's just that Zhang Yue was nepotistic and didn't let that Zhou Qianhu come, but let you come to the report? ”

Fang Ling didn't expect Zhu Zhanji's memory to be so good, and he was a little excited, but when he heard the last sentence, his expression was correct, and he hurriedly said respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Emperor and the Emperor, Lord Zhang originally ordered Lord Zhou to come, but Lord Zhou said that he was a martial artist, for fear that there would be a loss of honor when he met His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun, and besides, he was afraid that some details would not be complete, so he let the ministers meet in person." If it weren't for Lord Zhou's proper arrangement this time, the flaws would have been found by the people watching around him, and the secret visit was also led by him, and the minister was just an assistant. ”

After saying these words, seeing that Zhu Zhanji was smiling and silent, he knew that he should report the matter, and hurriedly said the words that he had memorized a long time ago. He had been reading books in the country for many years, and his memory was naturally excellent, and he had spoken for two quarters of an hour, but he had not even beaten a single meal, and at the end of the day, he took out a thick stack of documents and presented them with both hands.

"All in all, the three major granaries in Jingshi, although the granaries have been renovated, but the shortage of rice and grain is as high as 5,000 stones. Even when the new grain was put into storage and replaced the old grain, they also committed fraud and colluded with profiteers to sell the new grain and leave the old grain. Moreover, these people asked the bookkeepers to forge accounts, and to keep two accounts, both inside and outside. If it weren't for the ministers who quietly got the real grain sales ledger, they would have to turn over the entire granary and check it. The imperial court built a granary to prepare for war in a famine year, but it was corrupted by these officials. ”

Zhu Zhanji listened casually at first, and then gradually frowned, and in the end, he was even more angry in shock. Originally, he only thought that this was an excuse for his grandfather to send Zhang Yue down, but now he no longer thinks that this is a trivial matter. Standing up and pacing a few steps, he immediately ordered Eunuch Huang to invite Yang Shiqi to come. A quarter of an hour later, Yang Shiqi, who had gray sideburns, arrived, and he casually ordered the little eunuch to take all the evidence, and explained the reason lightly.

"Yang Qing, since you are the left-behind minister, this matter will be handled by you. If there is a place to use soldiers, I will instruct Chengguo Gong to help. Now that the peace has been going on for a long time, these people have forgotten Emperor Taizu's methods of suppressing corruption, which is really hateful! ”

Yang Shiqi had already guessed that Zhang Yue's so-called Qincha had other priorities, so he was not surprised that he left the granary to check and the golden cicada came out of his shell, but he was a little unhappy in his heart. At this time, after listening to Zhu Zhanji's words, and listening to Fang Ling's explanation that the account books were not easy to carry, they were still stored in the Qincha Xingyuan, and he glanced at the heavy pile of documents in his hand, and he was relieved. Du Yishan's students are expected not to ignore small things because of big things.

"Being able to do things at both ends is complete, Zhang Yuanjie is very thoughtful, and Fang Baihu and Zhou Qianhu also contributed a lot this time, if you are not careful and meticulous, you may not be able to catch such a cheating case. I will ask the household department and Ying Tianfu to carefully investigate this matter, and I will never let go of a corrupt person. ”

Yang Shiqi, the left-behind minister, naturally couldn't stay forever, and after saying a few words, he hurried back to Wenyuan Pavilion. Fang Ling was originally going to leave, but Zhu Zhanji opened his mouth to stay. Because this time he was not talking about official affairs but private matters, he was very sincere and fearful at first, but gradually the place became natural. Even so, when mentioning his family affairs, he was still extremely cautious - after all, Zhu Zhanji was not Zhang Yue, and he could not arrange his father and brother on such occasions. Just when he followed Zhu Zhanji's question and talked about his first acquaintance with Zhang Yue at Meng Jun's birthday banquet, Zhu Zhanji suddenly said something that he didn't expect.

"Fang Ling, I just lack a scholar here who can write and martial arts. You are sincere, after this matter is done, I will tell the imperial grandfather, you will stay in Nanjing first. ”

The main house of the east courtyard of the Fan family compound.

Although he couldn't figure out what the note with Dongfan meant, Zhang Yue was really too lazy to play dumb riddles, and when Fan Tong came to see him early the next morning, he pointed out the two food boxes to the other party, and said with a smile that Fan Xiyan specially sent this "supper" last night, and stayed here for a while. And a certain fat city boss lifted the big man tremblingly and stepped forward to open the two lids, and after seeing the contents clearly, he was suddenly stunned.

He stiffened and turned around, and suddenly fell to his knees weakly: "Big ...... My lord, you are guilty of your duties! ”

Zhang Yue originally wanted to warn Fan Tong to say something directly, don't hide it like this and test him, but unexpectedly provoked such a reaction from the other party. Faced with such an unexpected scene, he thought about it several times, and finally completely hid the surprise in his heart, and only asked lightly: "Master Fan said so much at the dinner table last night, and he said it in his heart, how can he ask for guilt at this time?" ”

Although he is not a feudal official, there is also a town guard eunuch in this city, but because there is someone behind him, Fan Tong and Wang Darong only bowed slightly when they met, the taste of kneeling has not been tasted for many years, at this time kneeling on the hard bluestone ground, he only felt sore and painful, and scolded a thousand and ten thousand little sluts in his heart.

"My lord, that girl is not my biological daughter, but she suddenly appeared two years ago and lived in my house, and her identity is unknown. If she hadn't used my handle to blackmail me, how could I have allowed her! Adults don t blindly listen to her nonsense, he has indeed received money from the Yan family in the past few years, and it has been convenient for them to secure a few ships, but that's because ...... Because behind the Yan family is the Marquis of Fuyang. Don't say I can't mess with it, even that Grandpa Wang can't afford to mess with it! ”

The lesser of two evils, Fan Tong has been an official for more than ten years, this means has been played perfectly, seeing Zhang Yue thoughtfully, obviously he has been moved by his own words, and hurriedly moved forward two steps on his knees, putting on a sad look: "My lord may not know, although there are many islands in this coastal area, most of them are barren land, and it is extremely difficult to supplement freshwater diet, so whether it is a pirate or a pirate, many of them have a stronghold on Dongfan Island." After plundering along the coast, most of them fled to Dongfan, rested and then fled away! So, that girl arranged me to collude with Dongfan, this is a real bloody squirt! ”

A note with two words written on it that is difficult to understand was exchanged for so much news at once, which was undoubtedly an unexpected gain for Zhang Yue. However, since he had already deceived him, he naturally didn't mind lying and threatening a few more words, so he immediately stood up and walked to Huang Huali's desk, grabbed the pearls in the jade bowl casually, and let them roll down from his palms one by one.

"This pearl is about the best Hepu pearl, right? I heard that Hepu Nanzhu is famous all over the world, such a large and uniform pearl seems to be difficult to find, and this jade bowl is not a vulgar thing, I remember that jadeite is still a tribute from Myanmar. Ling Qianjin said......"

Fan Tong, who was still lying on the ground just now, suddenly jumped up from the ground, and his fat body once again showed extraordinary agility, seeing that the guard next to Zhang Yue was slightly bowed, as if he could pounce at any time, he did not rush forward to explain, but smiled wryly: "I sent these gadgets to gag her, who knew that she actually bit me now." Don't listen to that girl's nonsense, the pearl came from the south, and it is not a good pearl, and this is not a jade bowl, it is an ordinary jasper bowl. I was just deceiving her in the name of Burmese tribute, and who knew that girl would believe it. ”
