. "Mother, tell me, what illegal things did my uncle do to manage the account for my father?"

Deng Xiu'er saw Mrs. Liu's head split, Mrs. Liu was stunned, and said angrily: "You kid also listen to outsiders' nonsense? Who can't trust their own relatives? Your uncle takes care of your father's accounts, and if he doesn't think about your father wholeheartedly, how can he do something that is not good for your father? ”

"Mother said can't it? Daddy was also detained just now, and you still say you can't? ”

"What?" When Liu E heard this, she was so shocked that she almost fainted, and said in a trembling voice: "What are you talking about, your father was also detained?" Didn't your dad mean ...... Didn't it mean that the case involved his relatives, so he had to recuse himself from the house and rest in the back house for a few days, why was he detained, and what was the crime? ”

Deng Xiu'er said angrily: "How does my daughter know what to do?" I only know that this matter has a lot to do with the Sizhou Treasury, and my father was detained because of this incident. Mother, my uncle is the best with you, I won't hide anything from you, tell your daughter quickly, what did my uncle do? Otherwise, not only the uncle would not be able to save them, but even the father would be implicated and imprisoned. ”

Mrs. Liu was so shocked that her face was pale, her lips were blue, although she had read poetry and books for a few days, after all, she was a country woman, how could she have any knowledge, her husband had only heard of it for a few years, Deng Zuyang had not done anything, this official lady had learned a commanding style, but her mind did not have considerable experience, she suddenly encountered a big disaster, only knew how to cry to her husband, and now even her husband who leaned on the pillar in her heart was also arrested, Mrs. Liu was completely out of idea in a panic, and was scolded by her daughter, and even forgot to be angry.

She muttered to herself, "This...... This ......, how could Shuchen do anything unfavorable to your father? Treasury ...... Shu Chen just used the tax and silver taels in the treasury to release some money from Liu Zhong, and when he heard that the price of grain had risen, he also used it to buy a batch of grain, so as to make a difference from it......

Deng Xiu'er listened and said in disbelief: "That's the tax paid by the local government, which is to be relieved of the imperial court, and the part of the reserve is to be used to deal with the flood and drought relief of the local life money, brother-in-law, he ...... He took all the money from the treasury and released the money? ”

Mrs. Liu was annoyed: "You girl knows how to complain, you said where did you come from with your brocade clothes and food, food and clothing, mansions, and servants and maids, and only rely on your father's official affairs in the past two years?" ”

"That's not the second uncle'......"

"What second uncle, is it easy for your second uncle? At the beginning, your father and I had nothing to rely on, thanks to the help of your second uncle, now that your father is developed, he should naturally return the favor, how can I ask your second uncle to take money to fund our family every year, and besides, your father is a big official, and now he has to rely on relatives to help? Don't you feel ashamed to kill someone? ”

Deng Xiu'er said angrily: "So you let your uncle go to make money?" Especially for the purchase of grain, my father strictly forbids speculation and raising prices, and the uncle is a big tent of the government office, and the brother of the prefect's wife even goes to store grain? ”

Mrs. Liu was annoyed and said angrily: "Like a big profiteer like Uncle Zhou Wang, he has accumulated grain and grass like a mountain, and how much benefit has he earned from it?" How much money can your brother-in-law make by making a little fuss? This benefit is cheap and has made the big traitor who is against your father earn, and I don't see how the court can help others, why can't we even make these few pennies? It is true that your brother-in-law embezzled the money from the treasury, but it is not that the silver taels will not be returned. ”

Deng Xiu'er was so angry that she trembled: "Mother, misappropriating the treasury money without authorization, even if it is returned, it is a big crime to be dismissed from office and demoted to the common people, do you know?" ”

Mrs. Liu only said that it was not a big deal to borrow and repay, who knew that there were so many stinky rules in the government, and it was so unreasonable, she said timidly: "At the beginning...... When your father first arrived in Sizhou, Uncle Zhou Wang manipulated the Sizhou grain market and united with the Sizhou gentry to make it difficult for you to be your father, and your father had no choice but to use the treasury money to let your cousin make money, so that you had the capital to make your second uncle a Sizhou grain gentry and balance the arrogance of Uncle Zhou Wang? How did my mother know that he made me unable to ......?"

Speaking of this, she finally panicked: "Is this really a big crime?" Daughter, how is it good now, how should it be good now? ”

Deng Xiu'er stared at her for a long time, and then paused: "You foolish mother! ”

Mrs. Liu panicked: "Daughter, where are you going?" ”

Deng Xiu'er paused and said coldly: "Mother and brother-in-law Ming repaired the accounts and privately appropriated the treasury silver, Daddy trusted his uncle too much and always kept it in the dark, if King Wei asked, Daddy would definitely deny it." The prince of Wei already has the evidence in hand, and if his father denies it, he will inevitably anger the king of Wei even more. The daughter rushed to the king of Wei now, explained the truth to the king of Wei and her father, and begged the king of Wei to ...... Beg him to raise his noble hand and let his father go......"

Deng Xiu'er walked away, and Mrs. Liu stood in a daze, sitting on the chair with her buttocks, unable to stand up again.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Deng Zuyang went to the ship to meet Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei, and heard him ask about the affairs of the treasury, so he naturally refused to admit it. Although the treasury is in the hands of his brother-in-law, he is absolutely reliable of his own people, but he still checks the treasury accounts according to the rules and schedules, and even the physical objects are regularly inspected, it can be said that the treasury accounts are never inconsistent with the real thing, he was shocked and angry in the face of the accusations of the king of Wei, and now even he has doubts in his heart, doubting whether the king of Wei deliberately framed him, but the real purpose is the dispute between the kings in the court.

Zhao Dezhao saw that he was obsessed, and he was not in a hurry to interrogate, he now had countless cases in his hands, and those key people were suddenly all arrested and locked up in the rice warehouse, one person and one warehouse, which made people look close, and they could not communicate with each other, the dragons in Sizhou were leaderless and chaotic, and he had countless breakthroughs to pry into, how could he spend effort on Deng Zuyang.

Deng Zuyang was inexplicably placed under house arrest in a cabin, still at a loss for the whole thing, when there was a soft knock on the hatch door, and a scribe slowly paced in.

Deng Zuyang sat up from the couch and recognized that this person was Murong Qiu, a staff member who was traveling south with the king, so he arched his hand suspiciously: "Mr. Murong? ”

Murong Qiudrunk smiled slightly: "Deng Futai doesn't have to be polite. ”

Deng Zuyang asked, "What does the prince have to say?" ”

Murong Qiu was drunk and said: "The prince is very busy, you live here for the time being, it is very safe, and there will be no further decisions about you for a while, hehe...... Anyway, are you still a member of the court appointed by the court and shepherd, if the will of the court is not granted, you will still be an official, and the prince will not dare to be too difficult for you. ”

Deng Zuyang smiled slightly: "Deng has a clear conscience, he just can't wait for the truth to be revealed soon, but he is not afraid of anything embarrassing." ”

Murong Qiu's eyes lit up and he smiled, "That's a good point." Not...... The old man went south with the king of Wei, Chitose, and was appointed by Zhao Xianggong, which ...... Deng Futai doesn't know yet, right? ”

"Zhao Xianggong?" Deng Zuyang couldn't help but be stunned.

"Yes, it's Zhao Xianggong. Hehe, Deng Futai was exceptionally promoted from the county order of the first and third class counties to the prefect of Sizhou, which was the result of Zhao Xianggong's repeated recommendation in front of the official family, Zhao Xianggong admired Deng Zhifu very much, Deng Zhifu was young and promising, capable of doing things, and as for private morality, it was naturally not a problem. Now there are some Xiaoxiao who are hiding Deng Futai's nonsense, and Deng Futai insists that he doesn't know about it, which is very good......"

Deng Zuyang said angrily: "Mr. Murong, what are you talking about? It can't be fake, it can't be fake, Deng really doesn't know it. ”

Murong Qiudrunk showed an intriguing smile on his face, and said meaningfully: "It's good if you don't know, it's good if you don't know, it's better for Deng Futai to bite this sentence and don't let go, the rest, don't say too much, now there are too many people with ill intentions, once there is something wrong with the words, if it falls into the ears of those who have a heart, it will make a big fuss and use the topic to play." At that time, if Zhao Xianggong is also in an embarrassing situation, how can Governor Deng be worthy of his Bole? As long as you deal with it carefully, Zhao Xianggong will naturally take care of you. ”

Deng Zuyang suddenly realized, endured it for a long time, and then exhaled and replied in a deep voice: "Deng understands!" ”

"It's good to understand." Murong Qiu bowed his hand and said, "It is not advisable for the old man to stay here for too long, so he has taken his leave." ”

Listening to the news reports, Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei, couldn't help but let out a long sigh, he had been worried about it, afraid that Yang Hao used such a stormy means, but still couldn't get any credentials, at that time not only Yang Hao was unlucky, he was just promoted to the king of Wei, I am afraid that he will be cut down to appease the resentment of the officials and gentry, fortunately, the seemingly unbreakable defense is actually connected by one illegal gain, once the head is arrested, the network is paralyzed, and people who surrender against the water abound, A lot of evidence has been collected, and those admirers can't just sort out the existing evidence, and it is not possible to do it in a moment.

He is now every time he sorts out a part, he will report a part of the Pegasus to the Jingshi, this time out, his Wei King Zhao Dezhao is discerning, shrewd and capable of an evaluation can no longer run, even his teacher Zong Jiezhou is a sincere and serious person is smiling, what is he unhappy about? But I don't know why, he just can't be happy, a hazy shadow always lingers in the bottom of his heart, but the sound of the piano still flows like a spring in the bottom of his heart, after this incident, can he see the slender woman like the moon, like the ink rhyme and the fragrance of the book?

Yang Hao was reporting the matter to him: "Chitose, according to Liu Shuchen's confession, Xiaguan has led people to carefully inspect the treasury with Guo Guan, the boxes of official silver in the treasury are only true if they are placed on the top layer, and some of them are lead ingots at all, and even more, go deeper, go high, many boxes with seals, there is not even any silver in them, all of them are bricks and tiles......"

Zhao Dezhao couldn't help but shoot the book case when he heard this, and said angrily: "It's really bold, Deng Zuyang also said that he didn't know, if he really didn't know, such a foolish official should also rejoin him, otherwise Sizhou really doesn't know how much to rot under his rule." What happened to the Guancang side, there are many extremely important witnesses imprisoned there, and we have limited manpower, except for the guards and official ships, the number of people who can be mobilized is limited, and we can only rely on the local servants, and how many of them still collude with those profiteers, it is not yet known, if there is a mistake, it will be passive. ”

"Yes, the prince can rest assured, the lower officials also know that there must be their people among those errands, but they must be used everywhere to arrest people, investigate cases, ask for evidence, and interrogate, and these local officials cannot do without them, so they are imprisoned in the official warehouse, one by one, and the guards are all standing outside in five steps and one post, so that they monitor each other, even if some of them are accomplices with them, they cannot do anything to let them go. After a while, Xia Guan went to the official warehouse, and according to the existing evidence, he promoted the prisoners, specialized in one person at a time, and broke them one by one, so that they could no longer attack and defend the alliance. ”

"Well, what Yang Yuan made seems to be reckless, but in fact it makes a lot of sense, this king is very relieved, with you ......"

As soon as he said this, a faint singing voice came: "The phoenix returns to its hometown and travels all over the world to seek its phoenix." When I haven't met anything, I don't know what to do! There are beautiful ladies in the boudoir, and the room is poisonous to my intestines......"

This song is very subtle, if ordinary people hear it, they will never care, Zhao Dezhao heard it in his ears, but he jumped up like an electric shock, and lost his voice: "Phoenix seeking a phoenix?" ”

"Huh?" Yang Hao is a duck listens to thunder, he doesn't understand, he doesn't understand, and when he saw him jump up without forgetting, he couldn't help but look at him in surprise.

Zhao Dezhao walked quickly to the side of the cabin, pushed open the window and looked at the shore, the green willows on the causeway, the green grass Feifei, and the curling singing became much clearer: "What is the fate of the mandarin ducks, and the beard and the cheeks soar together!" The phoenix and the phoenix are from me, and they have to be entrusted with the tail as a concubine. Friendship and harmony, who knows each other in the middle and night? Both wings are flying high, and I don't feel that I think about making Yu sad ......"

Zhao Dezhao clenched his fists, and his face turned red: "It's her, it's her ......, she wants to see me?" ”

Zhao Dezhao turned around, and was about to rush to the hatch, Yang Hao coughed, bowed down and said: "Prince, the prince's status is precious, at this very moment, in order to prevent someone from jumping off the wall in a hurry, it is safer to stay on this official ship, please take the court and the common people first, and don't let the lower officials and others panic." ”

Zhao Dezhao looked back at him angrily, Yang Hao stood calmly, his expression was calm, Zhao Dezhao was finally discouraged, lowered his head and said: "That's it, please ask the envoy of the Yang Academy to go and ...... for this king." Bring the singer into the boat for the king. ”

"The subordinate obeys." Yang Hao answered and walked out. The dock under the official ship was heavily guarded, and no one was allowed to enter unless it was an official on the ship, so Yang Hao went down the gangway to the shore and walked towards the grass with the singing.

Deng Xiuer couldn't get on the boat, she wanted to use her singing voice to lure the King of Wei down, she and the King of Wei had a secret relationship, although they did not understand each other, but there was a tacit understanding in their hearts, she believed that the King of Wei would meet her, but she didn't want to come but the Yang Hao who bit when she saw people in Sizhou, Deng Xiuer didn't know that he was coming on the order of the King of Wei, and didn't want to see him, so she caught and sought him in the grass, sang a few words in another place, and then quickly changed positions, just wanted to call the King of Wei down, in her mind, can she save her father is not a word of the King of Wei?

Yang Hao couldn't catch up, he couldn't help but be angry and funny, he suddenly lowered his body, quickly hid his figure, and quietly dived in one direction, Deng Xiuer sang and never left the official ship, but just these few places, to the grass, sure enough, Deng Xiuer tiptoed to sneak in, and when he saw that no one was around, he stood still, looking at the official ship and opening his mouth to sing the song "Feng Xi Feng Xi".

As soon as the word "phoenix" came out, a strange Yang Hao version of "Flying in a Dream" behind her suddenly sang: "Who is singing, warming the loneliness." The white clouds are still blue sky, and tears are drifting. Hiding alone in that vast expanse, I saw the noble prince on the ship in the distance, yo, yo, yoe, oh, yes! Miss Deng? ”
