Cheng Dong walked very fast, Cheng Yi trotted all the way until he reached the door, and then caught up with Cheng Dong. She pulled Cheng Dong's clothes and asked, "Xiao Dong, what are you doing here!" ”

Cheng Dong turned around and said, "Sister, I advise you to leave here too, and don't continue to be with people like Su Hao." ”

"Why? Why can't you tolerate him? Cheng Yi asked.

Cheng Dong said: "The ancients are cloudy, and the thieves are not separate!" I'm an upright scholar, how can I be in the company of the eunuchs. ”

"He's not a eunuch!" Cheng Yi explained in vain that she slapped Cheng Dong out of extreme anger in her parents' mourning hall just now, and now that the anger has subsided, it is difficult for her to say anything serious to Cheng Dong. Although she can be regarded as a person who has read some books, she is still far from Cheng Dong, and if you want to be reasonable, she is definitely not Cheng Dong's opponent.

"Sister, one day, I will let you see through his true colors." Cheng Dong said and walked away in great strides. He knew that it was impossible for him to pull his sister away, not to mention, now that he had just embarked on his official career, he had no power, and he couldn't take care of his sister, so since Cheng Yi was willing to stay by Su Hao's side, he didn't bother to say anything more.

"Xiao Dong, Xiao Dong!" Cheng Yi shouted a few times at Cheng Dong's back, and suddenly felt that it was dark in front of him, and his body involuntarily fell backwards.

"Sister Cheng Yi, what's wrong with you?" The singer called.

"Xiaodong...... He's gone. Cheng Yi muttered with tears in her eyes.

"This white-eyed wolf, let's go!" The singer scolded heartlessly.

"I thought that with Xia Shushen's matter, he should be able to know what Bachelor Su is, and I also hope that he can settle his old suspicions with Bachelor Su. Who knows......"

"Sister Cheng Yi, I said don't care about it, I've seen a lot of people like your younger brother. They just feel that they are the most correct in the world. Can't look down on anyone else. You don't expect to reason with this kind of person at all, and reasoning is in vain. Fortunately, now that he has grown up, I heard that he has become an official, so you don't have to worry about him, just stay by Lord Su's side in a down-to-earth manner. Geling said.

Cheng Yi said: "Xiao Dong treats Master Su like this, how can I stay here." Geling, do you think I should ask Master Su to resign and go back to my hometown to farm for a living. ”

Ge Ling said: "Sister Cheng Yi, you can't listen to your bastard brother and want to abandon Master Su too, right?" ”

"Of course not. Master Su treats me like a mountain. How dare I have such a thought? Cheng Yi said, "I just feel that I don't have the face to stay." ”

Ge Ling said: "You are really confused, since you think that Master Su is kind to you, you should stay and repay the kindness." Lord Su is now short of manpower, you are so capable, resign at this time, isn't it to dismantle Lord Su's platform? ”

"This ......" Cheng Yi was speechless, she patronized the contradiction between Cheng Dong and Su Hao, forgetting that she was still Su Hao's right-hand man. As the singer said. If she resigns at this time, it will really mean to tear down the stage.

"Sister Cheng Yi, you have done your duty as a sister by bringing your bastard brother to adulthood. From now on. He takes his Yangguan Road, you take your single-plank bridge, and the two of you have nothing to do with each other. Master Su is kind to you, I think it's ......," the singer said. There was a hint of banter on his face.

"What do you think?" Cheng Yi asked.

Ge Ling put her mouth to Cheng Yi's ear and said, "I think you should simply be a concubine for Master Su." So you have a trust for the rest of your life......"

"What are you talking about!" Cheng Yi's face suddenly turned as red as the morning glow, and she raised her fist and was about to beat the singer to hide her shyness. The singer had expected this, and after the previous sentence was finished, the person had already jumped a few steps away. Cheng Yi rushed towards Ge Ling, Ge Ling turned around and ran, and the two girls ran back to the backyard with a smile.

"Alas, as the saying goes, one woman is equal to 500 ducks, and these two women are really more noisy than 1,000 ducks." Su Hao witnessed the scene of the two girls fighting, and shook his head helplessly.

The news brought back by Cheng Dong did not turn the situation around the Runing nest case. Su Hao used a lot of conspiracies and tricks when arresting those suspects, these things are a big rebellion in the eyes of the officials, but for the old foxes such as Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping, it is nothing. In public, of course, they want to flaunt something like righteousness, but years of political experience have taught them that it is impossible to succeed without conspiracies. In the face of such a complex situation, Su Hao was able to find a unique way and open up the situation, which is a very outstanding performance.

"I didn't expect such a bad thing to happen under the rule of the lower officials, thanks to Bachelor Su's discernment and the decisiveness of the two elders, so that the traitor was finally brought to justice, and millions of Li people were spared. The lower official was deceived by the traitor and had the grace of the saint, and when the matter was over, the lower official would ask the saint to resign and blame him for his crime. ”

In the public court of the Qincha camp, Liu Qichang, the prefect of Runing, faced Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping, two cabinet scholars, with a look of shame. The case of the previous stage has been concluded, and a large number of merchants, Haoqiang, and state and county officials who participated in the murder of the common people have all been thrown into prison vans and will be escorted back to the capital in a few days to be severely punished. Liu Qichang quickly pulled himself out of the case as early as when he saw that the momentum was not good, and he flatly denied that he had anything to do with illegal businesses such as Huguang Qianzhuang, and only said that he was deceived and only took responsibility for negligence.

"Governor Liu's words are serious." Wang Xijue coughed lightly and said, "People are not sages, how can they be infallible, the methods of these traitors to harm the people are also extremely hidden, and it is inevitable that Governor Liu will not be able to see through it for a while, so there is no need to mention this resignation." ”

Liu Qichang saw that Wang Xijue had the intention of exculpating himself, and hurriedly followed Wang Xijue's words and said: "Wang Ge Lao Mingjian, the lower officials also saw that the people of Runing were living hard, and hoped to attract more merchants to seek some benefits for the people. However, no matter what the original intention of the lower officials is, since they have done something wrong, they should be held responsible, which is also something that the lower officials are willing to do. ”

"It's good that Governor Liu has this self-blame, this matter of Runing Mansion still needs to be taken care of by Governor Liu, you can't pick on it halfway." Wang Xijue said, speaking of this, he seemed to have thought of something by accident, and asked Liu Qichang: "By the way, Governor Liu, I remember that the year before last, Runing Mansion reported to the imperial court, saying that it had encountered a major drought that had not been encountered in a century, and eighty percent of the fields were lost, begging the imperial court for relief, how was this matter dealt with later?" ”

"...... the year before last" Liu Qichang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Wu Boxing who was sitting on the side with his eyes. Disaster relief has always been the responsibility of the household department, and the year before last, it was Wu Boxing, the left attendant of the household department, who escorted relief grain to Runing. As for the whereabouts of that batch of relief food, there are quite a lot of cats, which naturally cannot be mentioned to Wang Xijue and others.

"At that time, the imperial court allocated 100,000 loads of grain for relief to the victims, and Wu Shilang knew this matter best." Liu Qichang said lightly.

Wu Boxing nodded, and said to Wang Xijue: "Scholar Wang, the year before last, the household department did allocate 100,000 quintals of grain to Runing, which was personally sent by the lower officials and signed by the Liu Governor's Mansion. ”

"Oh, 100,000 quintals...... What about the grain? Wang Xijue had a smile on his face, as if he was chatting, but the wit in his words made Liu Qichang break out in a cold sweat.

"Naturally, the food was distributed to the victims." Liu Qichang replied stubbornly.

"Oh? Is Governor Liu sure? Wang Xijue pressed step by step.

Liu Qichang felt a chill in his heart, and Wang Xijue asked this question, obviously prepared. If you answer incorrectly, you may be caught by Wang Xijue, and it will not end well.

After receiving the 100,000 quintals of grain sent by Wu Boxing, he only took out 20,000 quintals of grain and distributed them symbolically, and the remaining 80,000 quintals were directly transferred to a merchant called Fushan Grain Store. In the year of the great disaster, grain was more expensive than gold, and with these 80,000 loads of grain, Toyama grain store was exchanged for land in the hands of tens of thousands of farmers.

This time, the Toyama Grain Store was also raided by the soldiers of the Kanyu Battalion, and many account books fell into Su Hao's hands. However, Liu Qichang believes that Su Hao can't see anything famous from those account books. There is no mark on the grain, there is no difference between the grain bank's own procurement and the grain sent by the imperial court for disaster relief, why can Su Hao determine that Liu Qichang transferred the disaster relief grain to the grain bank?

Liu Qichang pretended to be a memory, and quickly recalled the story in his mind, and after making sure that there were no flaws left, he replied: "Back to Wang Ge Lao, these 100,000 loads of grain naturally cannot all be distributed by the lower officials. These grains were distributed to the people by the officials of the prefectures and counties after they were brought back by each prefecture and county. As for the ...... Are you sure that the lower officials think that there may be corruption and deduction in individual prefectures and counties, but as far as the entire Runing Mansion is concerned, these grains should be distributed. ”

"The distribution of disaster relief grain needs to be signed by the lieutenant chief, and the prefectures and counties should collect the signed books for future reference, and Governor Liu only needs to issue an instruction to let the prefectures and counties send the books of the year for inspection." Wu Boxing reminded slowly.

"What Wu Shilang said is extremely true." Liu Qichang said, "Actually, the lower officials had inspected those books at the beginning, and they also asked some lieutenants, and they all said that what was contained in the books was true. If Wang Ge Lao has doubts about this matter, the lower officials will ask people to collect the books of various states and counties for Wang Ge Lao to inspect. (To be continued......)
