Chapter 32: Panic
Over the years, Zhao Tai has been the most outstanding spy in the Tingwei Mansion, and Zhang Jun was also embarrassed and sad after hearing Feng Bao's report. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Hey! Don't blame yourself too much, people have already done a good job if they can come back safely! Zhao Tai is bold and experienced, and I believe that he will be able to save the day in the end. ”
Although Zhang Jun didn't have much hope for Zhao Tai to get out of danger, he was worried that Feng Bao would blame himself too much and leave too much shadow in his heart, so he comforted him.
"Let's hope so!" Feng Bao echoed in his heart, and then reached into his arms, took out something wrapped in cloth from it, respectfully presented it to Zhang Jun, and said solemnly: "My lord! This is the ledger of that mine, please take it! ”
Zhang Jun took over the account book that Zhao Tai and Feng Fei had worked so hard to get, Xu Wu's mine was a black mine, which was accidentally discovered by Zhang Jun in the process of sorting out the archives of the Tingwei Mansion after taking over the Tingwei Mansion.
The mine has been reported several times, but there is no record of the investigation in the Tingwei Mansion. And the people who reported it all disappeared strangely afterwards, Zhang Jun felt that there must be something greasy in it, so he sent Zhao Tai and Feng Bao to investigate.
"What the hell are these people trying to do! Did they want to rebel by mining such a huge iron ore? ”
Zhang Jun opened the ledger and hurriedly glanced at the contents inside, and was immediately startled by the shocking data.
"My lord, judging from the clues that Brother Zhao and I got in Youzhou for more than a month, a large amount of iron ore dug in this mine was shipped to Jizhou, and I'm afraid it's not that simple." Feng Bao said worriedly after recovering.
After listening to this, Zhang Jun nodded in agreement, and a storm of worry came to his mind, the Yellow Turban Rebellion had just subsided, could it be that there was another **** brewing? God, can't you leave a way for these troubled people to live?
A deep sense of powerlessness struck, and Zhang Jun suddenly felt tired.
"Your Excellency, your Excellency!" Feng Baolian shouted a few times before he woke up Zhang Jun, who was in thought.
Then he flipped through several pages and pointed to a piece of data inside and said again: "My lord, please look at this, this mine controlled by the Zhuo family firm has millions of dollars used to bribe Zhang Gong every year, and with the relationship between Zhang Gong and Zhang Rang, I am afraid that it will be inseparable from Zhang Rang, which is why they have been able to run amok in Youzhou over the years, but the previous court lieutenant has let it go." ”
Zhang Jun was shocked when he heard this, and looked at the place Feng Bao pointed to, which indeed clearly stated the specific amount of money bribed to Zhang Gong, which finally brought him a surprise. With this, we will be able to rectify this group of eunuchs who have brought disaster to the country and the people.
(Youzhou, more than half a month ago.) )
The bearded man patiently listened to the housekeeper's report in the study, and he had already vented his anger in the past few days, although the Black Wind Village captured Zhao Tai, but the account book was not recovered in the end. In the face of such an unfavorable situation, the bearded man decisively made the decision to close the Xu Wu mine, evacuate the personnel, and destroy the evidence as much as possible to remedy it.
"Tell Black Wind Village not to kill that Zhao Tai for me first! Let them send someone to bring him here for me, dare to ruin Lao Tzu's good deeds! Lao Tzu wants him to experience what it means to be truly alive and dead! ”
When the bearded man said these words, he glared fiercely at the tiger's eyes, and his beard was all open, looking hideous and terrifying. The butler, who knew his cruel methods, felt a chill behind him, and hurriedly agreed before preparing to go down to do something.
"Come back! By the way, I sent someone to send a letter to Zhang Gong's villain, telling him the seriousness of the matter, and after receiving so much money from Lao Tzu, it was time to contribute to Lao Tzu. Hey... ”
After the housekeeper stopped and listened to the order, he quickly flashed out of the study, for fear that he would be called back if he walked slowly. Only the arrogant laughter of the bearded man was left, constantly echoing in the study.
(Time back to the present)
In the Han Palace, Zhang Gong almost trotted all the way towards Zhang Rang's side hall, his expression was nervous, and his head was already covered with sweat.
"Godfather, godfather!" Zhang Gong stumbled into Zhang Rang's side hall, and frightened Zhang Rang, who was resting, and the palace maids waiting on the side jumped.
"Bastard, don't you see our family resting? What do you want to do with such recklessness? Zhang Rang, who was frightened awake, was very unhappy and scolded.
Zhang Gong, who was scolded, didn't dare to say a word, he gently wiped the sweat on his head with his sleeve, panting non-stop, and when Zhang Rang finished scolding, he knelt on the ground with a plop and cried: "Godfather ancestor!" You've got to save me this time! Otherwise, my son, I'll be finished. ”
Zhang Gong's humble appearance looked at Zhang Rang's brows tightened, but he still said calmly: "What can scare you like this!" You just say, our family can't collapse on this day! ”
Zhang Gong snorted and cried out the matter in detail.
Zhang Rang was furious when he heard half of it, rushed forward and kicked Zhang Gong hard, and scolded: "You stupid, you don't know how strict the imperial court's control over iron ore is!" Have you ever thought about their intentions in mining iron ore privately? You don't know anything, and you dare to take money from others at the risk of killing your head. What's the use of me asking you to come, you idiot! ”
Zhang Rang kicked this very hard, Zhang Gong threw himself on the corner of the table next to him, his forehead was broken, and blood flowed. But he couldn't care about the injury on his head, he hurriedly rolled over and crawled to Zhang Rang's feet, hugging Zhang Rang's thigh and refusing to let go.
"Let go first. You sit down there for me and go on. ”
After all, Zhang Gong is a person who has been with Zhang Rang for many years, and he is very filial on weekdays, seeing that he is already such a pitiful appearance, the anger in Zhang Rang's heart calmed down a little. The tone of his voice was not as harsh as it had just been.
Zhang Gong realized Zhang Rang's psychological changes, let go of Zhang Rang's feet and continued to finish.
Zhang Rang, who returned to the main seat and sat down, asked after listening to Zhang Gong tell the whole story: "So, the ledger may have fallen into Zhang Jun's hands now?" ”
Zhang Gong had a bloody face, and a palace maid was helping him bandage his wounds at Zhang Rang's signal. Hearing Zhang Rang's question, he said without hesitation: "Godfather, this can't be wrong!" That person had already brought someone to pass the word, and found the token of the Tingwei Mansion on the person named Zhao Tai. They all brought this to me! Believe it or not. ”
Zhang Gong took out the token and handed it to the palace maid, and the palace maid carefully handed the token to Zhang Rang.
Zhang Rang made sure that the token was correct, and he also knew that this matter was a little tricky! If this matter is not handled well, it will make them uneasy again. He doesn't have the strength to lose his temper at Zhang Gong anymore, these things are useless, and finding a way to save himself is the right way.
Zhang Rang thought about it for a long time, and finally said under Zhang Gong's ardent expectation: "You go and ask Jian Shuo to come over, and say that I have something important to discuss!" Remember to be respectful to me. ”
