Chapter 266: What Happened in Hunan

I don't know if there was a problem in that link, Wu Chaoyue took the initiative to ask him to exchange positions with Hunan Governor Wenge, and he was known by Hunan Governor Wenge in advance. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Hearing this news, Wenge's first reaction was, of course, that he couldn't believe his ears, or after repeatedly confirming that the news was absolutely reliable, Wenge asked the messenger in ecstasy: "The relationship between Wu Chaoyue and Old Man Hua is so good?" In order to let that old Mongolian Tartar recuperate with peace of mind, he was able to voluntarily come to Hunan as a governor and wipe his ass for that old Mongolian Tartar? ! ”

"It's really good, the accurate news of the Governor's Yamen, in private, Huazhitai and Wu Futai are both commensurate with their ancestors and grandchildren." The messenger replied truthfully: "There is also news that Wu Futai did a lot of things in Hubei that did not conform to the rules of the imperial court, and they were all suppressed by Hua Zhitai, and he blocked a lot of open guns and hidden arrows for Wu Futai. This time, Wu Futai continued to serve as the governor of Hubei, and I heard that Hua Zhitai also made a lot of efforts in the middle. ”

"The old immortal is so good to Wu Chaoyue, but he is nitpicking on Lao Tzu." During this time, Wenge, who had been rectified by Hua Shana, gritted his teeth, and was very dissatisfied with Hua Shana's partiality, and then shouted and asked, "That old tartar, how is the situation now?" Is it possible to die as soon as possible? ”

"I don't know the specifics, I just know that I am very sick and haven't been seen in public for a while." The messenger replied: "The eyeliner we planted next to the flower station also reported that the pro-soldier team of the flower station is rumored that the flower station is no longer able to serve the council, and the big and small affairs in the temporary line are currently being handled by Dai Wenjie. ”

"Well deserved! Retribution! ”

Wenge was very gloating, but after careful calculation, Wenge found that at this time, the damned old Tartar really couldn't die-if he died, the good thing that he and Wu Chaoyue would transfer positions would be in vain. In order to strive for this rare opportunity and increase his grasp, Wenge wrote a letter persuading Hua Shana to leave the front line to recuperate, handed it to his confidant Tian Zishi, and instructed him: "Send the letter to Old Man Hua, bring him some tonic for the immortal, persuade him to take his body first, leave the front line as soon as possible to recuperate, and by the way, take a look at the situation over there for me." ”

Tian Zishi, who had a lot of ghost ideas, took over the messenger with a sense of understanding, and set off to visit Huashana in Qiyang, where Huashana is currently stationed, on the same day, and then relied on the smooth waterway of the Xiangjiang River, and it only took more than two days for Tian Zishi to arrive at Qiyang City on the bank of the Xiangjiang River, and successfully saw Huashana who was seriously ill in bed in the city.

Hua Shana is indeed very sick, the weight loss is very obvious, not to mention, people are still groggy and do not match the preface, Tian Zishi had no choice but to ask Dai Wenjie, who was on the side of the waiter, about Hua Shana's situation, Dai Wenjie sighed and said: "Since the last time the condition suddenly recurred, it has always been like this, and it is rare to have a conscious time, and he persuaded him to go back to Hubei to recuperate and did not listen, just to die." ”

"How can this work?" Tian Zishi was very worried and persuaded Hua Shana: "Hua Zhitai, although state affairs are important, your body is also very important, and you still have to take care of your body." ”

Hua Shana was talking nonsense vaguely, and he didn't know if he had heard Tian Zishi's persuasion clearly, and Dai Wenjie said again: "But fortunately, when I was awake last night, I persuaded Hua Zhitai again, saying that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the battlefield is full of dead corpses, and there are too many corpses in the miasma, and the impact on his condition will only get bigger and bigger." Hua Zhitai then agreed to consider going back to Changsha to recuperate, but he didn't make up his mind, and when he was sober again, I tried my best to persuade him. ”

"It's okay to go back to Changsha first, there is no one on the front line to preside over the overall situation, and Wu Chaoyue is more likely to be transferred to the governor of Hunan."

Tian Zishi was secretly happy in his heart, and quickly instigated Dai Wenjie, who was deeply trusted by Hua Shana, to continue to persuade, Dai Wenjie agreed, and while speaking, the guards sent a decoction, Dai Wenjie hurriedly helped Hua Shana to sit up and fed the medicine to Hua Shana with his own hands, but the decoction was fed into the mouth, and the medicinal juice continued to flow down the corner of Hua Shana's mouth to his chest, Dai Wenjie hurriedly wiped the decoction for Hua Shana, and tears couldn't help but shed in his eyes, and he choked up: "Yu Zhong, Yu Zhong, why don't you listen to persuasion?" Why don't you listen to persuasion? Do you know that in order to let you recuperate with peace of mind, Weiting has already taken the initiative to request to be transferred to Hunan? ”

"Comfort Pavilion?" Hua Shana suddenly came to some spirits, and said inarticulately: "Where is the comfort pavilion?" Comfort Ting, you are here, the old man can rest assured....... ”

Hearing this, Dai Wenjie finally couldn't help crying, Tian Zishi was also next to him to wipe his tears, and finally waited for Dai Wenjie to reluctantly feed Hua Shana with a decoction, Tian Zishi got up to say goodbye, Dai Wenjie wiped away his tears, and said: "Master Tian, wait a minute, Qiyang's side has been warned, the medicinal materials are incomplete, and some of the medicine to be used in the flower making table, please give it to Changsha and send someone to send it as soon as possible." ”

Of course, Tian Zishi would not refuse to help such a small favor, so he quickly agreed, and after Dai Wenjie took the list of medicinal materials and handed it to Tian Zishi, he said casually: "Master Tian, there is another trivial matter, the military rations sent by Changsha Mansion last time, there were hundreds of stones of moldy grain, and the official who held the grain said that the batch of military rations was sent by the government treasury, about this, should Changsha Prefect Cang Jingyu give an explanation to the front-line soldiers?" ”

"Is there such a thing?" Tian Zishi was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Master Dai, don't worry, after the little one goes back, he will definitely explain this matter to Wen Futai, and ask him to investigate it in detail below." ”

"There's no need to be so troublesome, the humid climate of Hunan is placed here, and it is normal for the grain to be moldy." Dai Wenjie shook his head and said, "Anyway, it's only four hundred and fifty stones, which is not much, just ask Changsha Mansion to make up for it." It just so happens that Changsha Mansion should supply food to the front line again, and by the way, just bring it together to make up for it, and there is no need to make a big move. ”

After that, Dai Wenjie added in passing, and said: "By the way, this time it's best to ask the prefect of Cang to come in person, I have to check the money and grain accounts with him, Hua Zhitai is sick like this, I can't go to Changsha Mansion to check with him in person." ”

Tian Zishi agreed again, and then hurriedly said goodbye and left, and hurriedly returned to Changsha with Dai Wenjie's message, but when he heard that Hua Shana was so sick, Wenge, who had long hated Hua Shana, was of course overjoyed, gloating to the extreme, and was even more hopeful about being transferred to Hubei to make a fortune.

In the end, Tian Zishicai told Wenge about the military rations and Dai Wenjie's request to check the accounts, although Wenge was very reluctant to throw the grain that could be sold for a lot of money into Qiu Ba's mouth on the front line, but in order to transfer to Hubei, Wenge still casually ordered: "Then ask Cang Jingyu to run in person, send the military rations sent, and make up the military rations that should be supplemented, at this juncture, there must be no more mistakes." ”

After making this decision, Wenge also sent someone to call his cronie Cang Jingyu and instructed him: "When you go to Qiyang with grain, by the way, bring the medicine of Hua Lao Tartar, and also bring a better official ship by the way, and try to persuade him to go back to Changsha with you to recuperate." The stakes are high, and if you can do this, this official will never treat you badly! ”

Cang Jingyu agreed, and asked cautiously: "Lord Futai, I heard that Wu Futai in Hubei has an excerpt, and he took the initiative to exchange positions with you and come to Hunan to preside over the peace of bandits, so that Hua Zhitai can return to Hubei to recuperate with peace of mind, is this true?" ”

"Did you hear the rumors?" Wenge smiled.

Just looking at Wenge's happy smile, Cang Jingyu knew that the rumor was not a rumor, but an iron-clad fact, and hurriedly bowed his hand to Wenge, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Wenfutai, congratulations to Wenfutai, I wish Wenfutai all his wishes come true and go to Hubei to take office." ”

"What is there to congratulate, it's just a flat tone, and it's not promoted to the governor of Huguang?" Wen Da Futai waved his hand lightly, and couldn't help but smile very proudly and said: "Go on an errand, if you can really help the official to bring back the flower system platform to make the front line ownerless, and let the court and the emperor accept Wu Futai's invitation, after the official takes office in Hubei, the first thing is to transfer you to Hubei and let you go to Hankou to collect customs duties for the imperial court." ”

When Cang Jingyu heard the great joy, he hurriedly kowtowed to Wen Dafutai and thanked him, and hurriedly arranged for people to load the grain and grass supplied to the front line, prepared the accounts for checking with Dai Wenjie, and finally carefully arranged a good official boat with comfortable seats, and rushed to Qiyang to meet Huashana by the Xiangjiang River waterway.

The main force of the Taiping Army was Feng Sanbao and the Hunan Army and Chu Yong who had joined forces to drive to the junction of Hunan, Jiangxi and Guizhou, and the remaining few partial divisions were also driven away from the Hunan Army Channel.

After waiting at the gate of Xingyuan for a while, the guard went out to announce that Hua Shana had summoned him, Cang Jingyu hurriedly pretended to be concerned and nervous, and carried the medicine given to Hua Shana into Xingyuan, but to Cang Jingyu's surprise, the guard did not lead him into the backyard to visit Hua Shana who was sick in bed, but led him into the second hall to wait.

"Don't you want to see me at all? Devon Festival wants to pose as the second governor? Raised by a son of a bitch, wait for the old tartar to lose his breath, see if you dare to be so majestic? ”

When Cang Jingyu was talking about Dai Wenjie, who was definitely going to put on a score, there was a sudden shout from the back hall of the master of the stage ascending to the hall, and the guards on both sides immediately tightened their stomachs and chests, ready to meet them, and Cang Jingyu raised his head in surprise, not understanding what was going on? Then something that stunned Cang Jingyu even more happened, the legendary Hua Shana, who was already sick and about to die, actually strode out of the back hall in his official uniform, and sat down on the seat in the middle of the second hall, and Hua Shana's number one confidant, Dai Wenjie, stood next to him with a wicked smile.

"Xiaguancang Jingyu, meet the master of the platform."

Finally came back to his senses, Cang Jingyu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and congratulated Hua Shana on his condition for greatly improving, who had ever wanted to say flattering words, but in exchange for Hua Shana's loud shout, "Take it!" ”

Left and right, he immediately stepped forward to hold down Cang Jingyu, who was still holding the medicine in his hand, and hurriedly shouted: "Flower making table, the lower official has committed a crime?" Why do you want to win the office? ”

"Why did you take it?" Hua Shana sneered and said: "Since this official supervised Hunan, of the 15,656 stone of military rations supplied by Changsha Mansion to the front line, 9,225 stone of high-quality polished rice was secretly sold by you, and replaced with old rice to supply the front line, making huge profits from it!" You said it yourself, should this official take you?! ”

"Wronged, wronged!" Cang Jingyu screamed loudly, "Flower making table, who did you listen to about this nonsense?" Xia Guan has never done it, he has not done it! ”

"Haven't done it?" Hua Shana laughed when she heard this, and said with a smile: "If you don't see the coffin, you won't cry, right?" The master who sold the military rations for you has already been recruited, and the confession is in the hands of the official, and the shopkeeper of the business who turned the best polished rice into aged old rice for you has also been recruited, and the confession is also there. These two people, under the protection and escort of Goshha under the command of this official, have secretly left Changsha and are rushing to Qiyang, if you want to confront them in court, this official can give you this opportunity. ”

After that, Hua Shana bowed to Dai Wenjie next to him, Dai Wenjie understood, smiled and took out two signed confessions, walked to Cang Jingyu to show them, and after seeing the two confessions, Cang Jingyu also peed his crotch on the spot, and quickly kowtowed desperately to beg for mercy, "Lord Tai spare his life, Lord Tai spare his life, the lower official should die, the lower official should die, beg the Lord of the Taiwan to raise his noble hand and spare the life of a dog." ”

"Spare your life, of course." Hua Shana suddenly slowed down, and said with a smile: "As long as you honestly do something for the official, of course the official will open up and spare your life." ”

"Please instruct the lord of the Taiwan Order, the lower officials must do their best, do their best." Cang Jingyu hurriedly kowtowed and agreed.

"It's very easy, just tell us how many bribes you have paid to Wenge in the past two years, how many gifts you have given, and tell the truth." Hua Shana said lightly: "By the way, the old man also knows that during the period when you were in charge of the Hunan Minting Bureau, you reduced the brass fineness of the copper coins by half to make huge profits, and Wenge also participated in it, so I honestly explained this matter, and by the way, I handed over the secret account of the Hunan Minting Bureau, and the old man spared you from dying." ”

Cang Jingyu's whole body trembled, and he finally understood why Hua Shana took such pains to trap such a small five-grade prefect - open the gap from himself and clean up the Wenge!

After waiting for a while, Cang Jingyu didn't speak, and Hua Shana asked again, "What?" Don't want to live anymore? Do you want to die rather than keep your master, Wenge? ”

"Lord Zhangtai, it's not that the lower official wants to die, it's that the lower official said it, and he will definitely die." Cang Jingyu cried directly and kowtowed.

"You know, in these things, you are not clean, and honestly confessing is also a dead end." Hua Shana smiled and said: "But the old man can guarantee that you will not die, and the old man can go up to the fold to intercede for you, and ask the emperor to read for your meritorious service, spare your life, and pardon you from death." ”

"Han Shangshu Zhao Guang of the Criminal Department, Manshang Shulin Kui, are also old friends of the old man when he was in the capital, and the relationship is quite good, don't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, the old man opened his mouth, when they discuss the crime for you, they will naturally show mercy to your subordinates. Those Zhongtang of the Military Aircraft Department have no grievances with you, and of course they will not deliberately fight with the Criminal Department for the sake of rectifying you. ”

Cang Jingyu trembled and hesitated in his heart, but he still didn't dare to open his mouth to betray his master Wenge, and he didn't dare to fully believe Hua Shana's promise - few of these big people really knew how to speak.

"Still won't say?" Huashana smiled again and said, "Okay, if you think that keeping Wenge will save you, then you can give it a try." Today, only the suppression of long-haired bandits is the most troublesome, the old man truthfully played your embezzlement of military rations, you see that under the emperor's anger, does Wenge have the ability to save your head? ”

Speaking of this, Hua Shana, who has always been gentle, smiled fiercely, and said: "Also, in order to thank you for making the old man's efforts in vain, at that time, the official will also say hello to Zhao Guang and Lin Kui, and tell them to be ruthless, in addition to cutting off your head, you will also send your whole family to Ningguta to be enslaved by the armored people, and you will not be pardoned!" ”

"Lord Cang, your two daughters are sixteen years old and the other is thirteen years old, you don't want them to live a life of being brides every day and changing grooms every night, right? To put it indecently, their mothers and relatives are afraid that they will also serve men with them on a kang, countless men! ”

Listening to Hua Lao's vicious words, Cang Jingyu, who had already peed on his crotch, completely collapsed, collapsed on the ground and cried, "Lord Tai spares his life, Lord Tai spares his life, the lower official recruits, the lower official recruit......s anything!" ”

…………

The evidence that was enough to directly bring down Wenge was finally in hand, but after Cang Jingyu was escorted down to the hall, Hua Shana did not have any joy on his face, but instead knocked on Erlang's leg and looked at the sky outside the hall thoughtfully, and Dai Wenjie next to him saw the strangeness, so he asked, "Yu Zhong, what's wrong?" If you are not happy when you succeed in the matter, you are worried or you still can't defeat Wenge? ”

"No, the emperor has made it clear in his reply to my secret fold that as long as he gets real evidence, he will move his style."

Hua Shana shook his head and said, "The old man is thinking about the comfort pavilion and thinking about him. Wenjie, you said that this time the excerpt on the consolation pavilion asked to exchange positions with Wenge, do you really care about the old man? Or is there something else going on? ”

"It's probably both." Dai Wenjie replied truthfully: "Wu Futai covets military power, of course he wants to curry favor with the emperor and the imperial court, and take the opportunity to fight for the opportunity to take over as the governor of Huguang. But I can see that Wu Futai also sincerely respects you, otherwise, with his skills and backers, it is not impossible to get rid of your shackles and forcibly take charge of the army. ”

Hua Shana was silent, and after being silent for a long time, Hua Shana suddenly sighed and said with a wry smile: "Wenjie, do you dare to make a bet with me?" What if Weiting knew that the old man's condition had actually improved greatly, and the first official document sent was to ask for the expansion of Fubiao again under the pretext that the emperor had approved him to buy three steamers? If not, the old man lost to you the famous painting "Ink and Bamboo Picture" of the Song Dynasty, and if so, you only need to lose to me the "Visiting Friends in the Snow Village" of your family heirloom from the previous dynasty. ”

"Don't bet! I am not so stupid to lose, and I will give you "Visiting Friends in Snow Village" for nothing! ”

Dai Wenjie shook his head resolutely, and asked curiously: "Yu Zhong, then do you agree this time?" ”

Hua Shana didn't answer, but sighed again, and muttered: "If the comfort pavilion is really without dissent, it will be the pillar of my Qing Dynasty and the eternal minister who rebuilt the society, otherwise, the old man is the sinner of the Qing Dynasty through the ages, and he is destined to be stinking for thousands of years." ”

After saying that, Hua Shana, who had been holding on, felt the pain in the forehead corners on both sides and wanted to explode, and the world was spinning, and she couldn't breathe for a long time. (To be continued.) )
