Chapter 39: Reversal
Ronghua finally looked at Zhou Ying, if he was just a pedantic and old-fashioned person, how could he offend so many officials in the government and the opposition but he could rise to the top, joke, Zhou Ying is not a small person, otherwise he would not know how many times he has died because he is from a poor family.
And in the rampant big Ye of the family, winning the crown with a cloth coat is enough to make Ronghua look sideways, although it is not ruled out that the emperor's grandfather wanted to attack the family at that time, Ronghua's phoenix eyes narrowed, and Zhou Ying had to die!
Rong Shen cautiously swept around everyone present, and only after a while did he say, "Please also ask Lord Zhou to come carefully." ”
Everyone naturally knew that Rong Shen's eyes were warning them, and they had to weigh what they should hear and say.
Ronghua's fingertips slowly cruised along the edge of the teacup cover, so this meeting was organized by Rong Shen, or Zhou Ying!
The difference between the two is big, Ronghua carefully figured out the psychology of the two, and the person behind them - her good father.
If it was Rong Shen, it would be harmful to him to make a big deal about it, if it was really him, Rong Hua could only admit that he had planted it and found such a fool as an ally.
If it is Zhou Ying, is his father going to subvert the dynasty? Or do you want to leave a mark before you die, thinking that future history books will call him "the first emperor of the ages"?
Ronghua sneered: This is also very possible, after all, people always think about those vanities when they are old.
However, it is also good for her that this matter is big, but it is difficult for her to control the situation when she is away from Shangjing now, and those people who have been away from Shangjing for too long do not know what the restlessness will become.
And it looks like it's going to be messed up for a while, and her layouts have to take a break.
At this time, Ronghua was glad to have left Yi Cheng's life when she was in Zhanyang, so that maybe when she returned to Shangjing, she would not be too timid, and this move could be regarded as a narrow victory for her.
Ronghua decided to take the initiative, and she spoke slowly: "Brother Huang, is this in a hurry?" According to the royal sister, you might as well let the adults read the account books first. ”
Only she, Rong Shen, Mingzhou and Liang Fang read the account books, but as for Zhou Ying's side Ronghua is not clear.
"Yu Mao!"
Rong Shen said that Rong Hua was drinking, what did she want to do? Did she even think about the seriousness of this matter? This is not the time for her to follow Zhou Ying to have a princess temper!
It's not Rong Shen, that's Zhou Ying! Ronghua turned his eyes to Zhou Ying's inquiring eyes, Ronghua raised his eyebrows slightly, not afraid.
Father? Are you so worried about her? Hehe, Erchen is dedicated to Daye, it's not good to chill Erchen's heart like this, Ronghua raised a wicked smile, Father, Erchen will give you a big gift next, you have to take it well.
"What His Highness Eleventh said is very true, and I would like to ask you to read it and listen to the old minister."
Zhou Ying nodded towards Xiang Yi, Xiang Yi turned around and took out a handful of account books and distributed them one by one, everyone saw that their temples were sweating, and they were all thrown away as soon as they read it, as if it was a hot potato in their hands, and they rarely shouted indistinctly: "Bold!" ”
Zhou Ying glanced at him lightly, "Please be cautious." ”
Mingzhou also looked at it and found that it was not the same as for Ronghua, who they saw in more detail, and even the date was clearly marked. When Mingzhou handed the account book back to Xiang Yi, Xiang Yi smiled at Mingzhou again, Mingzhou just smiled on his face and bowed his head lightly.
Ronghua lowered his head and pinched Peiyu, and suddenly his hand was held by Mingzhou, Ronghua glanced at Mingzhou, and thought to himself: Is this person still holding a grudge against today's events?
She was about to break away without a trace, but Mingzhou gestured in her palm, Ronghua's palm was itchy and wanted to retract, but the content of Mingzhou's gesture made Ronghua not negligible.
Ronghua's fingertips curled up slightly, and Peiyu's movements, which were playing with her other hand, slowly stopped.
Ronghua was angry, she didn't retract the hand at her side until Mingzhou had already withdrawn it, and when Zhou Ying was about to say his intentions, Ronghua slowly continued to play with Peiyu, she raised the teacup and took a sip gently.
She was calculated?
Ronghua restrained her mood and went through her plan again in her mind, it seemed that it would be a long time for her to sit in that position, and she would go to Beijing...... Crazy, right? Father, is he crazy?
Ronghua thought that it was just a final toss, and she was willing to accompany her, but what was she doing?
Ronghua's eyebrows and eyes were suddenly stained with gloom.
"Can you let the old minister tell the whole story now?"
"Lord Zhou, please speak."
Rong Shen waved his hand to Zhou Ying, Zhou Ying bowed his head respectfully, got up and saluted everyone present: "If there is any offense in the next minister's words, please forgive me." ”
Rong Hua raised her eyes fiercely, her phoenix eyes were gloomy, dark and swarthy like a deep pool, she held her hands and looked at Zhou Ying tightly.
"You have traveled south to Bai County, and when the Third Highness inspected the performance of Lord Shi of Bai County, he found that there were many errors in Bai County's accounts on the Shanghe River section.
Zhou Ying paused and continued: "Today, I am furious, and the government and the opposition think that this matter is too big to make a decision, so I ordered a thorough investigation of this matter. The matter of Cao Yun is related to the country, thanks to the love of today, the old minister is fortunate to take on this responsibility. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Ying bowed his head and knelt down: "Today is wise!" Long live my emperor, long live! ”
Zhou Ying's actions were so tired that Rong Hua and Rong Shen also knelt down: "Long live my emperor, long live!" ”
Rong Hua glanced at Zhou Ying vaguely when he returned to his seat, and the hand hidden under his wide sleeve was already clenched fiercely.
She originally wanted Rong Shen to investigate, but she just wanted to do something else, but she didn't want to be in such a situation today, and even she couldn't control it.
Zhou Ying shouted: "Sui Chen and the others arrived in Bai County overnight according to the road taken by the two highnesses, and they did not dare to delay for a moment, and sent people to the major wharves in Bai County to check, and even checked the account books of Bai County to the adults in person. ”
Xiang Yi smiled kindly.
Ronghua looked at the duo, and suddenly thought of one singing white face and the other singing red face, a good means! Ronghua laughed lightly, just this round of chess is a bad move is that her skills are not as good as others, but Sai Weng lost the horse and knew that it was not a blessing, and she Ronghua wanted to win a return in the next round!
"Sure enough, since the seventh year of Zhenyuan, most of the account books have been faked, and the amount submitted to Shangjing by Caoyun is completely incorrect!"
As soon as this statement came out, except for a few people who knew what was going on, they all shouted.
Zhou Ying arched his hand to the sky: "This matter has already been heard by the official." ”
Rong Shen reluctantly pulled his cheeks: "Lord Zhou's move is very good!" "As for how Rong Shen scolded his mother in his heart, I don't know, this matter started because of Rong Shen, if the government and the opposition are constantly resentful, I am afraid that they will also go to Rong Shen, can they go to the front with that person?
"It was found out that the county order of Bai County and the Qian family, a big household in Bai County, jointly provided convenience to the Cao Gang, and even obstructed the Cao Gang and handed over the Cao grain to the Cao Gang for reselling the Cao grain."
Rong Shen's face was gloomy, these people were really reckless, he felt that there was something wrong with the Baixian county order at the beginning, and his style was not good.
Ronghua's fingertips lightly tapped on the fan surface, Baixian County Order, that idiot doesn't have to have this mind, his wife does have this mind, but his lady doesn't look like it! Suddenly, a face appeared in Ronghua's mind, that Shi Min who had a tryst with Miss Qian?! She frowned slightly, I'm afraid I'll have to wait for the news over there.
"When the management thoroughly checked the account books, it was found that there were several accounts that were not recorded in the books, so the official weighed the pros and cons and decided to go to the fish wall to find out first."
Speaking of this, Zhou Ying bowed his hand to Rong Shen and apologized: "Here, the old minister apologized to the two highnesses, and the two highnesses were tired of making a detour to Yuyuan and running around. ”
Rong Shen hurriedly got up and helped Zhou Ying up: "Lord Zhou, hurry up!" Lord Zhou is thinking about the society of the country, how can this palace care about such a trivial matter with Lord Zhou. ”
"Yu Yuan, don't you say?"
Ronghua is on Rong Shen, is this Rong Shen thinking about dragging her into the water for everything? It doesn't matter, she's settled in this muddy water anyway!
"Hmm."
"It's really a great blessing for the two Highnesses to be generous to others."
Zhou Ying said with emotion, and then continued the topic just now: "The old minister didn't dare to delay, and everyone who came with him was tired and also thoroughly checked the account books of Yuyuan overnight, but they were impeccable. ”
This "invulnerable" made Ronghua's eyelids jump, and sure enough, he heard Zhou Ying sigh faintly: "This impeccable account book is indeed well done, it can be described as seamless, but this is precisely the biggest loophole." ”
How can there be an impeccable account book, the only possibility is ......
"The account books have been falsified!"
Ronghua looked at Zhou Ying, who was scolding him sharply, and suddenly felt ridiculous: they are all a bunch of fools!
"So what can you find out?"
Rong Shen asked, Rong Hua breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately this temporary ally still had some brains.
When Zhou Ying heard this, he looked ashamed of the world, and said regretfully: "It's the old minister who is incompetent, and he hasn't investigated and dealt with the inappropriateness yet." However," Zhou Ying raised his head and said affirmatively: "The old minister already has some eyebrows. ”
"Oh," said Rong Shen, "please tell me carefully." ”
"Your Highness, don't worry," Zhou Ying waved his hand, revealing a mysterious smile, "Next, I might as well tell you about it." ”
was completely carried away by Zhou Ying's train of thought, and sure enough, she couldn't have any hope for Rong Shen.
Zhou Ying sat down slowly, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and said a lot of words, and his mouth was dry. Xiang Yi stood up: "Please don't dislike it." ”
"Laugh at adults, of course not."
Rong Shen was indeed a little impatient, but he was not really blinded by Zhou Ying's words.
"After discussion, the ministers unanimously thought that the biggest possibility was that the account books were not in the county government at all, but in the hands of the merchants!"
Ronghua immediately thought of what the man who led the way when he first came to Yuyuan said, "The Qin family is the most famous big family in Yuyuan, and even accounts for the ...... in water transportation", she looked at Zhou Ying, and then looked at Xiang Yi in a blink of an eye, it turned out that the focus was here.
Qin family, Ronghua's bad premonition has risen again.
It felt like she had fallen into a circle, going around and around but not getting out.
Ronghua hates this feeling, she likes everything in her hands, holding it tightly, including the fate of the world!
