Chapter 82: The Roof Leak Suffers from Overnight Rain (2)
What is strong, that is, what I want is, you have to give if you don't give it, as for whether it is useful or not, it is not something that a subordinate of you can decide, of course, you can not do it, then the consequences, you also have to bear it yourself, the third master's actions are obviously a good interpretation of the core of the definition of strength, and this is the situation that Hongqing is happy to see.
Reason? It's very simple, Shandong is the home of others, if you don't behave stronger, then you don't have to do anything, it's better to just wash and sleep, especially when the current situation is very unfavorable to the third master's side, you need to show a certain amount of strength, otherwise how can you suppress those old officials, as for those confessions, it is really useful to say it, not that Hongqing said to prevent future rupture, but this kind of circumstantial evidence may really come in handy for the third master to break the game next, but the third master does not ask, Hongqing didn't want to break it.
"Heda, go and invite you!"
Hecao Yamen and granaries are in one place, although they are not connected to each other, but separated by more than 30 steps, but not far from the wharf, that is, a stick of incense is not enough to walk away, the third master father and son are surrounded by the entourage, and they will not be able to reach the burning granary in a short time. There was not the slightest hope of extinguishing the fire, and seeing that the situation was not right, the third master's face immediately pulled down, tilted his head sideways, and snorted gloomily.
"Wow!"
The scene was in chaos, it was obviously not easy to find where Ru Fu was, Hedda couldn't help but feel a little numb, but since the third master had given the order, Hedda didn't dare to slack off a little, so he hurriedly responded, and led people to rush to a chaotic fire.
Heda has been gone for a long time and has not returned, the fire has been completely out of control, the third master's originally iron blue face is as black as the bottom of a pot at this time, fortunately, the city is deep, but it has never come out, but his face has been twitching, obviously has reached the limit of patience.
"Lord Wang, my subordinates are incompetent, I couldn't find Lord Ru, only Vice President He Chen Qidong was there at the scene, and my subordinates have brought him here."
Just before the third master was in a violent rage, Heda, who was ordered to go to find someone, finally led several officials to squeeze out of the chaotic crowd, but seeing that he walked quickly in front of the third master, one hit a thousand, and said with a shameful face.
"Bring it here!"
As soon as he heard that he couldn't find Rufu, the governor of the river, the third master's eyes instantly became sharp, and the corners of his mouth were picked, as if he wanted to scold Heda, but at the end he still endured it, and just squeezed out a cold sentence from between his teeth.
"Chen Qidong, the deputy general manager of the lower official, knocked to see the prince."
According to the Qing system, the governor of the river hangs the title of squire of the Ministry of Works, although it is only the second grade, but it is a member of the special Jane, directly responsible for the emperor, and the rest of the people are not allowed to interfere with the administration of the governor of the river without authorization, which is also where Rufu dares to despise the third master, the Qin Cha brother's confidence, but the deputy chief river is different, just from the three products, although he is also a well-known high-ranking official in the local area, but he is just an ordinary person, and he is not a member of the special Jane, and he has no qualifications to pose in front of the third master. Especially at this time, when there was a big fork in the Yamen, Chen Qidong didn't dare to lose his courtesy, this time he heard the third master call Xuan, and hurriedly rushed to the front, and bowed his head, and several Taoists who followed him saw this, and they all knelt on the ground.
"Chen Qidong, this king asks you, how did this fire start, huh?"
The third master was on fire at this time, how could he give the officials of the river a very good look, and he didn't call up, so he let the officials kneel there, and asked with a cold face.
"Back to the prince's words, the lower officials have already returned home from work, and they only rushed to the fire when the fire started, but I really don't know how the fire started."
There is only one governor in charge of the affairs of the Hecao Yamen, as for Chen Qidong, although he has the title of deputy chief river, he is actually just an errand, and he really can't afford the anger of the third master, but seeing that Chen Qidong's body trembled like a pendulum, he stammered and replied.
"Rubbish! Who is in charge of the granary? ”
The granary was burned, and the direct evidence of the third master's pinch of Rufu was almost gone, and it was difficult to complete the old man's secret order, and the heart was already raging.
"Back to the prince's words, Lu Xian, the Taoist of the lower official Caosi, is the granary that should be in charge."
The third master scolded like this, and the few Taoists kneeling behind him were a little panicked, and after looking at each other, one of the Taoists stepped forward on his knees and replied carelessly.
"Lu Instant? This king asks thee, "How thou hast managed this granary, and why there is such a great fire?" ”
The third master has really had enough of the bird's breath of the Hecao Yamen during this time, and when he has a seizure at this time, he is really ruthless, and he doesn't have a good voice at all.
"Lord Wang, although the granary is in charge of the lower officials, but this has always been, the lower officials can't manage the affairs of the granary, it is all the granary supervisor Damatai monopolized, this person is the servant of Lord Ru, only listen to the dispatch of Lord Ru, not the lower officials can be directed, as for the fire, the lower officials have just rushed from the city, I really don't know the details, and please ask the prince to know the details."
The granary caught fire, as a Cao Si Taoist, Lu instantly knew that the big crime was inevitable, and he couldn't wait to pull people into the water, so he wouldn't help others cover it up, so he bit Ru Fu, the governor of the river, to death, obviously planning to let the third master go to a lawsuit with Ru Fu to reduce his own guilt.
"The high-ranking officials of the imperial court raised you, is this how you wait? Hmph, a bunch of rubbish! Where is your blessing? ”
Seeing that he couldn't talk to these officials who couldn't manage things, the third master had completely lost his patience, and he was going to wrestle with Ru Fu.
"Back to the prince's words, Xia Guan and the others have not seen Lord Ru since they came, maybe they should still be in the back office."
Hearing the third master ask about Ru Fu, Chen Qidong was obviously relieved, obviously thinking that the third master would have a fight with Ru Fu, so as to avoid this embarrassing training, so he hurriedly replied.
"Heda, you will immediately lead people to the Yamen, even if you mention it, you will also bring your blessing to this king!"
As soon as he heard that the granary was about to burn down, and Ru Fu hadn't seen his face yet, the third master couldn't help it, his eyes widened in annoyance, and he let out an angry roar.
"Wow!"
Seeing that the third master was so angry, Heda didn't dare to delay a little, ordered more than a dozen personal guards, and hurriedly rushed towards the yamen of the river trough not far away.
There is a problem, there is definitely a problem! With such a big movement, the yamen of the river trough is nearby, how could Ru Fu not react, at such a time, he didn't even show his face, this is obviously abnormal, could it be ......
When the third master attacked the officials of the Yamen in the river trough, Hongqing just listened quietly, but the more he listened, the more he felt that the taste of this matter was wrong, and when Heda was ordered to rush to the yamen, a possibility suddenly appeared in Hongqing's mind, which immediately made Hongqing's face change, and almost blurted out, but fortunately, he had strong self-control, which was barely endured, but the vest was cold for a while.
"Lord Wang, it's not good, Lord Ru has died in the back office, and his subordinates have closed the scene, please make it clear!"
Sure enough, as Hongqing expected, Heda went fast and came back faster, but when he saw him rushing out of the yamen and rushing to the front of the third master, he couldn't take a breath, so he hurriedly said something.
What an eighth master, his heart is really ruthless enough, this is not a broken tail of a gecko, but a strong man who has broken his wrist, hey, amazing, it seems that the next drama is not good to sing, and we have to find another way, otherwise, I am afraid that our father and son will have to be planted in this pit!
Although he had guessed Rufu's death before, but after hearing Heda's confirmation, Hongqing still couldn't help but palpitate for a while, and knew more about the cruelty of seizing the heir, but at this moment, Hongqing didn't plan to say much, just stood quietly aside, and his brain was running at high speed.
"What? How so, say! ”
The third master originally planned to take advantage of the granary fire to find Rufu first, and then showed the holy decree, took advantage of the situation to take down Rufu, and strictly interrogated, so as to follow the vine and find the melon, and in one fell swoop cracked the huge case of collusion between Shandong officials and officials, but he didn't expect Rufu to die, and the third master's hope obviously fell into the void again.
"The prince was angry, when his subordinates arrived, Lord Ru had died in the back hall, and there was a suicide note left at the scene, and his subordinates did not dare to act rashly, and asked the prince to check it himself."
Rao is Heda is bold and bold, and he was really a little embarrassed to be caught by the third master in the chest, and his face turned pale in an instant, but he didn't dare not answer, so he could only explain in a low voice with a bitter face.
"Humph! Let's go, wait for this king to enter the palace together! ”
Hearing that there was a suicide note at the scene, a glimmer of hope surged in the heart of the third master, and he was no longer embarrassed by Heda, and after snorting heavily, he pushed Heda away, waved his hand and exhaled loudly, and strode towards the Hecao Yamen first.
Daddy, Daddy, it's all at this time, you still pin your hopes on that bullshit suicide note, hey, it's a pity, that thing is 100% a Xibei goods, it's not worth a look at it at all, not to mention anything else, just the ruthless people like the eighth master, since they have already made a move, how can they easily leave clues for your old man, this matter really has to be taken care of!
Hongqing had already seen the third master's thoughts at a glance, and couldn't help but bury the third master in his heart, but he didn't plan to wake up, just shook his head slightly, and silently followed behind the third master......
