"What? Master Du, is there something unspeakable, huh?"

Looking at Du Moliang's flustered face, the third master suddenly felt relieved in his heart for a while, how could he let Du Moliang pass the pass easily, he didn't leave Du Moliang room to think at all, and hurriedly asked.

"Ah, no, hehe, the prince laughed, wasn't the grain burned? The specific reason is that the lower officials are under investigation and are under investigation......"

Du Mo had a ghost in his conscience, and when he heard that the third master was holding on to the granary, the fear in his heart suddenly rose, but it was impossible for him to admit it like this, but after seeing his eyes roll wildly a few times, he smiled dryly and prevaricated.

"It's really all burned? Are you sure? ”

As soon as he heard Du Moliang respond like this, the corners of the third master's mouth twitched, revealing a sarcastic smile, but his words never relaxed at all.

"This ......"

Seeing the third master smiling weirdly, Du Moliang couldn't help but hesitate, and he didn't dare to tell the truth for a while.

"Huh?

How could the third master let Du Moliang just mess around, his face turned cold, and he snorted from his nostrils.

"Lord Wang, it is indeed burned out, and the lower officials have a survey document as evidence."

Being forced by the third master like this, Du Moliang has been forced into a corner, and there is no way to retreat, so he can only be ruthless and tough.

"Burned out? Hahaha...... it's burned out, Qing'er! ”

As soon as Du Moliang said this, the third master suddenly laughed, and Du Moliang's face changed wildly with laughter, but he didn't dare to make any more excuses, but the sweat on his forehead was already flowing down like a waterfall, but the third master didn't pay attention to it anymore, but calmly named Hongqing's name.

Yes, Dad, you're selling us again, aren't you?

This disaster relief incident is basically Hongqing behind the scenes, but Hongqing doesn't plan to be in the limelight, just because his limelight is big enough, and if he goes out, then he will really become a bird, but the third master has been named, even if Hongqing is reluctant, he can only roll his eyes, flash out quickly, bow down humbly, and hurriedly respond to the promise.

"Qing'er, Du Zhentai claims that the grain has been burned out, so you should go and point out Master Du, what is this granary?"

The third master didn't care what Hongqing's careful eyes were thinking, waved his hand, and commanded arrogantly.

"Yes, the boy obeys."

Since he couldn't hide, Hongqing didn't bother to bother, and after responding respectfully, with a twist of his feet, the person had already turned around, and glanced at the embarrassed Du Moliang with an indifferent face, but did not talk to him directly, but turned his gaze to the anxious A Jintai, and bowed very politely and said: "Lord Ah invited, the little nephew has something to ask." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, what does the little prince command, please speak up, the lower officials should do it."

Hongqing is not an ordinary prince of the palace, but he has the name of Beizi on his head, as far as the title is concerned, compared to A Jintai, it is higher than the old and young, how dare A Jintai be arrogant in front of Hongqing, so he hurriedly returned the salute, and replied very politely.

"The little nephew heard that Lord Ah once weighed the ashes of the granary, and I don't know what the number of points is?"

At this moment, since it was not a greeting, Hongqing was not polite, and went straight to the point.

"There is indeed this matter, the day after the fire, Xia Guan has already been weighed over the ashes, and the income is about 3,800 catties less than some, this is all on the record, if the little prince needs it, Xia Guan can let people go and get it."

Since accepting that strange order, Ah Jintai has not been thinking about the intention of the third master's move, but at the moment, he still hasn't been able to figure it out, and at this time he heard Hongqing ask about it, although the answer was fast, but the doubt and curiosity in his eyes could not be concealed.

"That's not in a hurry, what Lord A said, the little nephew can still be trusted." Facing A Jintai's puzzled gaze, Hongqing did not rush to explain, but smiled and saluted, then stood up straight, looked around at the group of Shandong officials who were dazed and didn't know why, and didn't say much, just clapped his hands, and then saw Heda leading several palace guards, carrying a small copper basin of rice, poles and scales and other things from behind.

"Little prince, everything is ready, please let the little prince know."

Heda ignored the commotion of the officials in Shandong, and after directing everyone to prepare everything, several big people walked in front of Hongqing, bowed, and reported neatly.

"Well, let's get started."

In the face of Heda's request, Hongqing didn't say much, but nodded indifferently and ordered.

"Wow!"

Heda respectfully agreed, waved his hand, and the palace guards who had already been ready immediately heard the order, but saw that a guard raised his hand, he had poured a small scoop of oil into the copper basin, and the other person lit the flint and lit the pine ming used to light the fire, and his hand shook, and the burning pine ming had flown into the copper basin. Carefully swept the ashes in the copper basin into a small cloth bag, handed it to a guard holding a rod scale waiting aside, and only weighed it, and the catties and taels came out unmistakably.

"Little prince, two catties of white rice have been burned to ashes, and the income is eight taels and four coins."

As soon as the results came out, Hedda turned to face Hongqing and said in a loud voice.

"Hmm."

Hongqing did not comment on the results, but waved his hand and motioned for Heda to retreat, but he paced a few steps forward, came to the panicked Du Moliang, and said with a faint smile: "Lord Du can see clearly, two catties of grain are burned, and you can get ashes of eight taels or four dollars, in other words, one catty and two is the ash of four taels and two coins, and how much ash should there be for 30,000 stone grains, huh?" ”

"This, this, this ......"

Hongqing's words have been said so clearly, how could Du Moliang not know what the flaws revealed by his own side are, and he really didn't know where to lie for a while.

"Master Du's magic may not be up to par, it's okay, I'll help you calculate it below, it should be more than 1,512,000 catties of ash, but the three granaries were burned, and there were only more than 3,000 catties of ash, even if it was all ashes of grain, I'm afraid it would be less than 100 stones? Where does the rest of the food go? Please also ask Master Du to teach me. ”

Hongqing didn't plan to let Du Moliang have a reason to weave at all, smiled coldly, and asked again and again.

"This, this, the lower officials, the lower officials really don't know, maybe the subordinates and others have made a mistake in the investigation, after the lower officials go back, they will definitely be severely punished, and they will definitely ......"

Stealing and selling the country's grain stocks, especially during the catastrophe, is definitely a heinous crime, for the sake of his life, Du Moliang refused to give in, besides, he didn't think that Hongqing could really take it down with such a hand, so he avoided the mistake and pushed it to the wrong place, hoping to pass the current level with this, and then take care of the rest.

"Mistaken? Hey, I'm afraid it's not the people who are wrong, but you, Lord Du? ”

Hongqing was so easy to deceive, and before Du Moliang finished speaking, he had unceremoniously interrupted his nonsense.

"You ......, why did the little prince say this, although the subordinate official position is low, he is also an official of the imperial court, it is not easy to slander, and please respect the little prince!"

Seeing that the situation was not right, Du Moliang didn't dare to let Hongqing force him to ask endlessly, so his face sank, and he took out the shelf of the local magistrate, and pretended to be angry.

"Well said, I really can't Nadu Da He in the next place, but someone can."

Hongqing was not moved by Du Moliang's bluff at all, smiled sarcastically, applauded playfully, stabbed Du Moliang mercilessly, and then turned around, bowed to the third master, and saluted: "Father, the child is fortunate to live up to his mission, everything is clear, and I ask my father to preside over the overall situation." ”

"Well done, come on, put a signal!"

The third master was quite satisfied with Hongqing's performance, but he didn't talk nonsense, and after praising him, he didn't pay attention to the uneasiness and commotion of the officials below, waved his hand, and gave the order with pride.

"Whew...... Boom! ”

As soon as the third master gave this order, one of the palace guards standing beside him responded loudly, and as soon as he raised his hand, a signal salute flower had already risen into the air, exploding a red glow in mid-air.

"Lord Wang, ...... you are"

As soon as the ceremonial flowers exploded, the officials of Shandong, who were already frightened, suddenly became even more confused, as the governor, Ah Jintai was a little unstable, and he hurriedly took a step forward and tentatively asked half of the words.

"Don't worry, wait a while, the truth will be revealed."

Although the third master has no good impression of A Jintai, the prince's disciple, he still has to stabilize the situation at this time, and he is a little polite between his words, but he has no intention of revealing the mystery.

"Look, there's movement in the east!"

"Huh? What's going on? ”

"Where did the carriages come from?"

……

Waiting and waiting, since the signal fireworks exploded, it was already a stick of incense time has passed, stunned to see no movement, Shandong officials can not help but be suspicious, just when they are full of doubts, there are sharp-eyed people to see the east avenue suddenly rolled up a puff of smoke and dust, there are several carriages are galloping towards the direction of the dock, the scene is like a frying pan like the noise of the noise.

Whew...... it's finally here, it's okay!

Hongqing was small, so he couldn't see the movement in the billowing smoke, but as soon as he heard the discussion of the officials, he already knew that what he was waiting for was what he was waiting for, and his heart hanging in the air immediately fell to the ground......
