Chapter 40: It's all the food
The seat of Jinan is Dongpingling, which was originally a rich place, but since Yuan Shi took office, it has become dilapidated.
This really can't be said that the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, although Gong Jing is not a good official, but he is definitely passable in face.
It's not like Yuan Xian doesn't know how to restrain at all, relying on his good background, he does nonsense.
It's a family of the fourth world and the third duke, and I got such a thing out.
When Pan Lu and his entourage went to the county to discuss the law, they had a feeling.
What kind of Jinan national governance is this, and it is not as good as their Tai'an County?
It's not that the walls are not high or the roads are not wide, but that the people here are too different.
The poor are bullied, and the rich are troubled, and both sides seem to be accustomed to it.
In such an atmosphere, it would be strange if the place could be good.
The gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion is not easy to enter! Pan Lu and the others even stood outside for a long time before entering.
And Yuan Shi, who should have appeared the most, did not show up, and only sent a master book out.
This master book is not a good thing, and the decent Guan Sun Huo called out to the old man.
What did you do earlier, where did you go just now?
Why don't you say that Sun Huo has self-cultivation? Scolding without swearing, "Isn't this Xiao Kun?" It seems that your home is developed. ”
The implication is that if you don't have money, how can you sit in the position of the main bookkeeper.
These words made Cheng Kun angry, "If you don't have anything else, you can leave." ”
Haven't said anything yet? Just thinking about sending off guests, it's a good attitude.
"We're going to meet the Prime Minister."
"Tell me anything!"
Cheng Kun still thinks about taking a big bag, and he doesn't look at how many catties and taels he has.
Pan Lu stood in the middle of everyone, "My lord, if you want to take care of it, it's not impossible, don't blame us for pulling you into the water when the time comes." ”
Cheng Kun didn't come up by ability, but by whiskers and patted horses.
What he is most afraid of is encountering things that he can't do, of course, his master book is not in vain, "Your Excellency is busy with business, you can come back in a few days!" ”
Everything depends on procrastination, and it will be okay to delay it.
This is Cheng Kun's traditional method of solving things, and it has been tried and tested.
But Pan Lu and the others came from afar, how could they retreat easily?
"We can wait."
I've been waiting outside, not to mention inside, at least there are tiles to cover my head, plus some of Sun Huo's relationships, it's good to be hungry or thirsty.
Cheng Kun actually left at this time, probably to find Yuan Shi.
Even if he knows the current affairs, if he stays any longer, I don't know how Pan Lu and the others will hurt him?
Yuan Shi is worthy of being a son of a big family, and he is well versed in the 'way of the emperor'.
directly hung Pan Lu and the others on that night, and at first Pan Lu and the others thought about leaving, but it was not easy to leave so late.
After all, it's not your own place, and no one dares to be too presumptuous.
When Yuan Shi appeared, they were all listless.
This Yuan Xian really has a lot of fuel-efficient lamps, and this one is good.
"I heard you were looking for me."
Everyone looked at Pan Lu, but Pan Lu looked at Sun Huo, who was not suitable for the first to speak with his identity.
Sun Huo was also helpless, "My lord, we are all from Tai'an County, and some time ago we recruited a military disaster, resulting in a lack of grain and grass in the city, so I seconded it to the county, but I never thought that the food was robbed twice before I saw it, please be the master!" ”
"Is there such a thing?" Usually Yuan Shi is very busy, how can he have time to take care of this.
Cheng Kun lowered his head, "It's true." ”
"Then what else is there to say, since you borrowed it, you have to pay it back, right?"
Pan Lu stepped forward at this time, "What the adults said is, but what if you don't borrow it?" ”
"One will say that I didn't borrow it, and the other will say that I borrowed it, what kind of place are you here? can make you guys talk nonsense here. ”
"My lord is aware of it, I mean that someone is secretly making trouble to fill his pockets, and the so-called robbery of grain and grass is just an excuse, and there is no grain and grass transported out of Dongping County at all."
Everyone knows about this, but knowing it doesn't mean that they have to say it!
Yuan Shi rarely cares about the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the people under him have done a good job, and he is just a decoration.
What should I do? When he ran out of money, he would go to the treasury to get it, but he knew where it came from.
What Pan Lu said was a big taboo.
Yuan Xi won't get along with himself, "So that's the case, I'll send someone to investigate in detail, you go back and wait for news!" ”
Now, if you go back, this dumb loss will be decided.
Cheng Kun was even more proud on the side, and he couldn't help himself.
Li Linfu walked out, and he still wanted him to be the last bad guy, "We do have evidence." ”
"Then take it out and have a look."
What Yuan Xian thought was that if there was any evidence, he would destroy it immediately, and this was his place anyway.
"I have some personal relations with Le'an Guan Hai, and he has made it clear that he did not rob Tai'an's food."
"It is a great sin to have fornication with a thief."
"Even if you are guilty of the crime, you have to ask for an explanation, if the Prime Minister can't see the details, then we will go to the assassination where the history is, there is always a place to reason!"
Yuan Shi was not afraid of Gong Jing, but afraid of making things bigger.
He was sent as an official, and as the prime minister of Jinan, he was similar to Taishou.
In the family, he is already very valued, and he doesn't want to lose it all.
"Someone, get him arrested."
"Who dare?"
Pan Lu had already pulled out the dagger at this time, as the so-called soft ones are afraid of hard, and hard ones are afraid of dying, Pan Lu is the one who doesn't want to die.
Cheng Kun pretended, "Are you trying to make trouble?" ”
"Don't dare, I just want to ask for an explanation, we can't suffer such a loss in Tai'an County."
The heads of the families who came with Pan Lu were all stunned.
How could it be so troublesome, this is the Prime Minister's Mansion!
They are the ones who were really dragged into the water, and they knew that they shouldn't have cared about the three melons and two dates.
For the sake of some money and food, this time he offended Yuan Yan ruthlessly, it was not worth it.
They are difficult to ride a tiger, and now they can only support Pan Lu, and they will pass this level first.
I lost the watermelon and picked up the sesame seeds, and I felt the bitterness in my heart!
A group of people coaxed the seedlings, and it was quite impressive.
"Since I'm here to ask for an explanation, then I should give the official time!"
Pan Lu and Li Linfu glanced at each other, isn't this indifferent minister of state that doesn't seem to be so bad?
This is not good news, Li Linfu nodded.
Pan Lu understood what to say, "Then we'll leave first." ”
After everyone left, Yuan Shi just glanced at Cheng Kun, and Cheng Kun knelt down, "My lord, my subordinates know that they are wrong." ”
"What did you do wrong?"
"Subordinates, don't covet that little bit of grain."
"You're not wrong about this, your biggest mistake is to let them find it, and you can solve this matter for me as soon as possible."
"Yui."
was troubled by Pan Lu, Yuan Xi was very unhappy, but no matter how unhappy he was, he wouldn't do it himself, that would only make him even more unhappy, to put it bluntly, he was too lazy.
Cheng Kun was ordered to calm down the turmoil, but the next day everyone in Dongpingling knew about it.
If no one makes trouble, they won't believe Cheng Kun if they kill him.
But the bad thing is here, Yuan Shi doesn't care about his reputation, but he cares about the reputation of the Yuan family.
If things continue to spread, Yuan Xi will be unhappy, and he will also suffer.
It's not good to come hard, Pan Lu Sun Huo and his party, the above are more or less related.
Yuan Shi can not be afraid, but he is afraid!
After thinking about it, the fastest way to solve the problem is to break the fortune and avoid disasters.
As long as the food is replenished, the rest will not matter.
This time, Cheng Kun came to visit, and Helian Bobo blocked the door, "Wait." ”
Pan Lu and the others were on the second floor, "Master Sun, how long do you think we should let him stand?" ”
"You're playing too big this time, let him come up!"
If Sun Huo didn't complain at all, it would be impossible, and it would feel uncomfortable to be used as a gun.
But the rice has become a cook, and no matter how uncomfortable it is, it can only be endured.
"Well, I'll listen to you."
The general trend has been decided, and Pan Lu will not be stingy with a little face.
Cheng Kun's face didn't show any anger, this person still has a skill, at least this cheek is thick enough!
"Boss, Mr. Pan, I was so sloppy yesterday, please forgive me."
"How dare we? As long as adults don't hold grudges, it's fine. ”
"The matter of grain and grass has an eyebrow, and it is the people below who are good at making claims, and I have already asked people to arrest them, and it is not too late to make amends, but this matter is not glorious, and it is not easy to spread out, please hide it on your behalf and don't talk nonsense everywhere."
Sun Huo naturally knows how to do it, and he has experienced a lot of this kind of thing.
"Where is our grain and grass?"
"It's in the granary, go get it yourselves!"
Pan Lu will not let go of such a good opportunity, Chen Liang is also food! Eat it and still starve.
Pan Lu seconded more grain at one time than he had promised in advance.
Sun Huo couldn't stand it anymore, "It's good to borrow it!" ”
"It's a shame to miss such a great opportunity, are you prepared?"
"Mr. Pan, when you talk to me, what are you calculating?"
This secondment is true, but it is not about borrowing as much as you want.
In other words, the more you borrow, the more you lose.
Sun Huo didn't believe it, a shrewd person like Pan Lu wouldn't be able to see it.
Pan Lu put his hand on his eyebrows and looked at the sun high above, "Master Sun, are you hot?" ”
"This is natural." This year is much hotter than usual, this is the consensus of everyone.
"Why is it so hot?"
"No wind, no rain, what the hell do you want to say?"
Pan Lu wiped the sweat from his forehead, "What I want to say, you have already said it, if you still don't understand, go to your own field and take a look." ”
Sun Huo is not short-sighted, but he doesn't need to be exposed to the following things.
But there are some things that you don't need to touch, just think about it and understand it.
"You've thought of it a long time ago."
"That's why I will do whatever it takes to get this batch of grain, otherwise the second half of the year will be difficult."
It is not easy for Sun Huo to be the head of the family, and there is a big family to support behind him.
Therefore, they plan to stock up on grain, and their actions are not unpleasant.
But even so, they were too late.
For example, in Dongpingling, many grain merchants are no longer open, are they out of food? That's certainly not possible, then there is only one possibility, hoarding.
At this point, the faces of all the heads of the family changed.
