For the political whirlpool of the upper echelons of the empire, Chen Sheng is not keen to sweep in. From the letter to him, he also read the relevant information. The teacher did not object to him getting very close to Fusu and Meng Yi, but the teacher made it very clear that the emperor was still very young, and only loyalty to the emperor was the best choice.

Chen Sheng praised the teacher's words very much. Regardless of the dynasty, the emperor would not like his ministers to get too close to his sons. You know, the emperor himself is the boss who pays the ministers, and the employees have a hot fight with the boss's son, which will definitely arouse the vigilance of the boss. You know, there are a lot of princes who look down on the throne, and if they collude with these ministers, then the emperor's throne will be a little dangerous. Even the First Emperor, who has the heart of the world and rules the world, is also suspicious when he sees his ministers and princes so familiar, but at the moment he still has a place to rely heavily on his ministers, so he has been holding back the dissatisfaction and anger in his heart.

Nothing happened for a few days. More than a dozen modified barges entered Huaishui from Surabaya, and then turned around and headed south, heading towards the jurisdiction of Jiujiang County. Although the emperor toured the north, the government affairs did not fall behind, and batches of government decrees were issued, and the counties of Jiujiang County, Changsha County, and even Huiji County were closely investigated. Under the leadership of Wei Yu, the Heishui Pavilion regained its great power when it was lurking in the Six Kingdoms in the past, and quickly investigated the suspected magistrates, and at least more than ten suspicious county commanders, dozens of county officials, and county lieutenants were involved in this turmoil. Without exception, these people were all officials of counties and counties near the river, and they were bribed by Zhang Liang with a lot of money to cover Zhang Liang's grain fleet.

Meng Yi, who got the definite information, naturally would not easily let go of these moths who led the Great Qin Yulu but cooperated with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms. Wherever the fleet went, the Praetorian guards went out on a large scale to arrest all the officials who committed dereliction of duty, and the Qin law was strict, and these officials who committed crimes would inevitably not have good fruits to eat.

As the officials caught more and more, a clue quietly surfaced.

When the imperial court appoints and dismisses local officials, it is not a very casual thing. Every official position above the county order level is recommended by the minister, agreed by the prime minister's office, and finally appointed and dismissed by the emperor. What is involved is the result of the game between the forces of the imperial court. Therefore, every official has an obvious imprint of a certain force behind him.

Discovering this clue, Meng Yi began to struggle.

Because these evidences are all pointed out to Lord Li Si in the nearest court, under one person and above ten thousand.

However, Meng Yi knew very well that Li Si had no such motivation to do such a thing at all. Although Li Si is not very powerful, he is still very far-sighted in politics. The Empire's Southern Expedition is a big matter, it is a matter related to the safety of the Empire, and it will last for generations, and Li Si, who is keen on fame and fortune, naturally hopes that the Empire's Southern Expedition will succeed, and when the time comes, he will also be able to leave a strong mark in the history books. So it's certainly impossible to be confused about this kind of thing. He Li Sigui is the prime minister, and he will never lack money! Besides, the collection and dispatch of grain and grass was originally something that Cheng should do, and if he did not continue to do grain and grass, he would have been held responsible. If the army was defeated, the emperor would surely be angry with him. At that time, his position as prime minister will come to an end. So Lees didn't have any incentive to do such a thing.

But judging from the arrested officials, these officials happen to be the descendants of Li Si's forces, although they are not the core, but they can be regarded as some rising stars in Li Si's camp. Some were originally Li Si's small officials who followed him when he was running in the Qin State, and some were even descendants of Li Si's family, and they were promoted by Li Si before they were assigned to serve as officials in various places. When something like this happened, Li Si couldn't escape the blame.

"According to my thoughts, Prime Minister Li Cheng is estimated to have been hacked." Chen Sheng poured the tea into his mouth and smacked his lips. The tea is light and fragrant, and after entering the mouth, a heart-warming sensation is exuded. This top-quality tea, he also drank it for the first time. "This black man is not small, he dares to give eye medicine to a foreign prime minister."

Across from him sat Ling Suyun. Only the eldest lady of the Ling family would carry things like tea and snacks on the road. The caravan materials taken away by Ling Fengdu, Meng Yi had already sorted them out and returned them to Ling Suyun, and the Ling family caravan continued on the road, but Ling Suyun made his own decision and followed Chen Sheng and the others south. This is not because of Chen Sheng's charm, but because Zhang Liang hired her Ling family's fleet, and with her help, when he went all the way south, he could get some useful information from the Ling family's shops scattered all over the country. And Ling Suyun's original intention was to arrest Ling Fengdu who dared to detain her. With Ling Suyun's character, if she doesn't arrest Ling Fengdu back to the family and punish her with clan law, she can't vent the anger in her heart, nor can she deter the uncles and brothers in the family who have ghosts.

Ling Suyun's attitude towards Chen Sheng has changed a lot recently. Although Chen Sheng had a bad impression on her before, after Chen Sheng saved her life and got out of the tiger's mouth, Ling Suyun's opinion of Chen Sheng had changed a lot. In addition, Chen Sheng has the identity of Wei Yu's personal disciple, which also makes Ling Suyun look at Chen Sheng with a high eye. Chen Sheng's vision and knowledge are not low, so when the two of them have nothing to do in this small cabin, they just drink tea and chat. Meng Yi and Fusu are not as idle as the two of them, whenever the fleet arrives at a place, they have to arrest and interrogate, and they are very busy, and only occasionally when things encounter a bottleneck, they will ask Chen Sheng. Judging from Fusu's performance, Chen Sheng also found that Fusu was not a mediocre person, he liked to use his own brains to figure out a way when he encountered problems, but he couldn't think about it anymore, so he would ask for help from others.

Ling Suyun smiled indifferently. Her skill in making tea is really not bad, watching Chen Sheng drink the tea in one gulp, her brows furrowed, and she said distressedly: "This tea is not drunk like this!" Taking a sip of tea, Ling Suyun said: "There are many capable people in the empire, Prime Minister Li Cheng has been an official for many years, and he has made a lot of enemies in the government and the opposition, and there are really many people who dare to harm him." After thinking about it, Ling Suyun said a little distractedly: "Besides, this matter may not be specifically aimed at Prime Minister Li Cheng, you look at the problem, it is too one-sided." ”

"Oh?" Chen Sheng couldn't understand why Ling Suyun made such remarks, so he had to stare at Ling Suyun's eyes.

Seeing Chen Sheng's hot eyes staring at his face, Ling Suyun's face was hot, and he said angrily: "What do you see, there are no flowers on my face." ”

When Chen Sheng saw Ling Suyun's coquettish appearance, his soul flew to the sky, and he sighed straightly: "How can flowers be so beautiful!" ”
