Chapter 386: The Truth Revealed
Hearing Xianyun's call, a group of people rushed from all directions, where Xianyun was located was a side courtyard of the Ghost Villa, and the ground of the side courtyard had been dug out by Xianyun Dozens of floor tiles.
Under the dug floor tiles was a thick layer of lime, looking at Xianyun's excited expression, all the Xuantian guards were inexplicable.
"I said Xianyun, what are you so excited about?" Sun You came to the hollow space that was dug up and turned around a few times, "You want to say that there is something down here?"
"No, don't you think the floor tiles here are different from the ones outside?"
"Different?" Sun You thought for a moment and patted his head, "By the way, the bricks here are newer than the ones outside, if the floor tiles outside were laid three years ago, then the floor tiles here are less than a year old." Haha, Xianyun, it's really yours to find such a small difference. Brothers, dig out all the tiles and see what is hidden underneath. ”
Lu Sheng's eyes swept over, this side courtyard was about less than forty square meters, and the entire ground was paved with brand-new red bricks. There was a slight thought in his mind, and his eyes suddenly burst with essence.
Squatting down and taking out two floor tiles, the internal force surged, and the red bricks in his hand instantly shattered.
When the debris was sprinkled, a gold brick appeared in Lu Sheng's palm.
"Shhhh looked at the red bricks on the ground one by one in horror, there are thousands of red bricks here, if that's the case, that is to say, there are thousands of gold bricks here?
"Xianyun, how did you find out?"
"Back to my lord, my subordinates have been practicing hard work all year round, so their kung fu is deeper than that of ordinary people. When his subordinates entered this partial courtyard, they felt that the floor tiles under their feet were a little uneven.
The floor tiles in other places are very flat, but here the floor tiles are paved high. So I suspect that the floor tiles here are not laid by professional masters.
Plus the floor tiles here are newer than the ones outside, so I suspect there's something hidden underneath the tiles. After the subordinates tentatively dug out one or two floor tiles, they felt that these red bricks were much heavier than normal red bricks, either filled with lead or gold. ”
Lu Sheng nodded appreciatively, "I really didn't misunderstand you, Jiang Zhe spent a lot of thought and brains to hide these gold bricks. But I didn't expect you to find it without much effort. If he meets you, he is unlucky. ”
"This ability of students is a class axe in front of the teacher. ”
"If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have found out for a while, you packed up all the gold bricks and transported them back to Xuantian Mansion, these gold bricks should be enough for the people of Chuzhou to tide over the difficulties. ”
After Lu Sheng finished speaking, he turned around and walked out. The case of stealing and selling official grain can be said to have been solved so far. But Lu Sheng's heart was full of doubts.
Could it be that Lu Xiangyang really did this case because of money? A person who has been poor for decades should have been accustomed to a poor life, how could he suddenly be tempted by wealth?
This doubt, Lu Sheng needs Lu Xiangyang to answer it personally.
Jumping forward, Lu Sheng's figure skimmed through the void and rushed towards Anqing Mansion.
Taishou Mansion is still so busy. Although the locust plague has been successfully passed, how to make the people of Chuzhou successfully transition to the next grain harvest has just begun.
There are too many problems to deal with every day, and too many tasks to assign every day. Chuzhou almost stopped all construction and made every effort to deal with this disaster.
Because of the excessive pressure, He Xingzhi instantly felt old. Not only is my heart tired, but my energy is also much worse than before.
If he was in his current state of mind, He Xingzhi was sure that he would never have mustered up the courage to start Chuzhou's new policy. I'm too tired to move.
Fortunately, with Lu Xiangyang's help, with so much busy work in front of him, if it weren't for Lu Xiangyang to handle most of it, He Xingzhi doubted that he would die directly on the desk.
Three years ago, he was unable to work for three days and three months for the New Deal, but now, working for three hours in a row, he feels unbearable.
It's old......
He Xingzhi raised his head and glanced at Lu Xiangyang, who was writing hard beside him. He Xingzhi is ten years older than Lu Xiangyang, and now, he feels that Lu Xiangyang is twenty years younger than him. Lu Xiangyang has skills, ability, and virtue.
In Chuzhou, Lu Xiangyang's prestige is no longer under him, and even before the start of the new deal, Lu Xiangyang's name in the hearts of the people is louder than that of He Xingzhi.
After all, He Xingzhi is a shoucheng, and Lu Xiangyang is an iron-fisted platform.
"Isn't it time to retreat? If this matter is successfully passed, if the court has made a conclusion about its own merits and demerits, should I sue the old man and return to his hometown?
The recommendation of the next Taishou is still good for Lu Xiangyang. The New Deal is halfway through, and although it is a pity to let go at this time, it is on the right track after all. Now that his physical strength is exhausted, it should be a good thing for Chuzhou to retreat.
The only new deal that can't be put down should be the most reassuring to be entrusted to Lu Xiangyang's hands. Lv Xiangyang and Lu Sheng...... These two people are the sun of Chuzhou...... And I'm already dusk......"
Thinking of this, the corners of He Xingzhi's mouth were slightly hooked to reveal a kind smile.
"Lord Taishou, what are you thinking of so happily?" Suddenly, Lu Xiangyang's words interrupted He Xingzhi's contemplation.
"Nothing...... Chuzhou suffered this catastrophe, originally thought that it would be a catastrophe, but I didn't want to pass it so smoothly...... Looking back now, although it was walking on thin ice, it was finally a thrilling ......"
"That's right, adults should be happy. Thanks to the strategizing of Lord Chu and Lord Lu, the people of Chuzhou are blessed!"
"It's a pity...... People are getting old......" He Xingzhi shook his head with a wry smile, "In the past, I could finish all these copywriting in two hours, but now, it's almost four hours." I have to admit that I'm old......"
"Why did Lord Taishou say that?" Lu Xiangyang raised his head in surprise and showed surprise, "Taishou is only sixty-two years old this year, right? Dayu Nineteen Prefectures, which Taishou is not in his sixties and seventies? How can the adults say that they are old at this time?"
In a few years, you will be able to join the Central Cabinet......"
"This kind of thing happened in Chuzhou, and I didn't dare to think about joining the central cabinet. Being able to retreat with his whole body is already a great grace of the emperor. But ......"
"But what?"
"In recent days, I have felt that my energy is not exhausted, and these days I have been thinking, should I say goodbye to my old age and return to my hometown to retire for the rest of my life? I have never given up halfway through the ups and downs of officialdom in my life, and I am unwilling to let go of the new policy in Chuzhou halfway.
But old age and decay are inevitable...... After thinking about it, the new policy of Chuzhou should still be entrusted to those who can rest assured.
There are too many people staring at the fat in Chuzhou, if there is a wine bag and rice bag, the old man would rather occupy this pit than let his hard work go to waste.
Yaozhi, who has worked with you all these years, knows that you are a person who is willing to do practical things and capable. It's just that you're forced to succeed, and sometimes you can't reach it if you want to hurry. ”
"What Lord Taishou said is that the lower officials have been officials in six places, but they have also committed the problem of not being able to reach the speed and leaving a lot of people to talk about. ”
"This point, Lord Lu is better than you, it's hard to believe that Lu Sheng, who has such a smooth wrist and plans everything before acting, is only in his early twenties and the age of the crown. ”
"Perhaps, this is what the world often calls a prodigy, otherwise how could he get such a high position at such a young age?"
"Hehehe...... He's a genius, and you're a capable official. If you say, how about I recommend you to be the Taishou of Chuzhou?"
"Click-"
He Xingzhi's words landed, and the pen in Lu Xiangyang's hand suddenly fell. Looking at He Xingzhi's smiling expression, Lu Xiangyang's heart suddenly swelled with monstrous waves.
"Your Excellency, ...... What do you say?"
"Don't you think you can't believe it? hehehe...... Ten years ago, you were already a Chuzhou Daotai, if you hadn't been in office for only four years, plus you would have been ...... by you Forget it, everyone is already ...... Do not say.
I was lucky enough to fill a vacancy, and this occupation will delay you for ten years. In the past ten years, I have seen your actions in my eyes, under strict governance, strict self-discipline, Chuzhou has handed you a blessing to the people of Chuzhou. ”
"Don't say that, my lord, the lower officials have neither a background nor a background, and being able to do the Taoist platform is already the peak, and a state is too guarded, not only needs the emperor's hand-picking, but also needs the consent and approval of the cabinet center.
In today's court, staring at the position of the Taishou is like the stars in the sky. As long as one side of the force raises a slight objection, this Taishou candidate will definitely be left behind. If the adult really doesn't want the good situation in Chuzhou to go down the drain, the adult should stick to it for a few more years.
Xia Guan believes that the new policy of Chuzhou will be completed within five years, and the time of the bureau is the time when the adults will enter the center to worship the prime minister. ”
"I don't want to, I don't want to...... I was a little nervous before, and I always felt that something was going to happen, but I felt better when I chatted with you like this.
Don't talk about it, don't talk about it, there's still a lot to deal with, do things, do things......"
"My lord, Lord Lu is here, do you want to bring Lord Lu in?" Outside the door, the officials of the Taishou Mansion quietly came to report.
"Then what are you waiting for, please come in, Lord Lu has been elusive these days, it seems that the case of tracking down the mastermind behind the scenes is a bit eyebrow-raising. ”
When He Xingzhi said this, the pen in Lu Xiangyang's hand paused slightly.
From this point, it can be seen that He Xingzhi's trust in Lu Sheng, as soon as the locust plague in Chuzhou ended, Lu Sheng immediately used the power of the whole state to track down the case, so many days, He Xingzhi never cared and never asked. If you want to change someone else, you don't know how many times a day you don't know how many times a day.
Soon, Lu Sheng pushed the door in, and seeing that He Xingzhi and Lu Xiangyang were there, Lu Sheng's face showed a smile.
"Hello Lord Taishou, good Lord Lu. ”
"Lord Lu's face is full of joy, it seems that this case has eyebrows?" He Xingzhi hurriedly stood up and motioned for Lu Sheng to sit down, and then ordered someone to serve tea to Lu Sheng.
"It's a bit eyebrow-raising, although the mastermind behind the locust plague has determined the power of the other party, but this case is serious and needs to be reported directly to the emperor. And the mastermind behind the scenes has fled, and there is no way to find it.
However, the case of the theft and sale of official grain has lived up to expectations, and it has finally been investigated. ”
"So, there is no connection between the theft and sale of official grain and the locust plague?"
"There is still a little connection, at least the official food that was stolen and sold ended up in the hands of those people. Thinking that the purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes is to raise food, and then when the locust plague is together, they can use the large amount of food in their hands to plot misdeeds.
However, because there has never been a riot in Chuzhou, and the Three Towns Army has always been in a state of readiness, the black hands behind the scenes are afraid that they will not dare to move, so they will die down. ”
