Lu Yuan looked at the two documents on the desk with a complicated expression, one from Chang'an and the other from Pingyao.

Lu Yuan didn't expect that Wang Wengui's matter would be able to cause such a big storm in Chang'an City, let him preside over the investigation of Wang Wengui, what kind of joke, he ordered a Xinyang to investigate the Weishui River, this is digging a pit to bury him!

I definitely didn't offend the emperor, so why did the emperor make such a holy decree Lu Yuan frowned slightly, and suddenly remembered that the six doors of the head-catcher who lived in his mansion and had not yet left was honest.

"Butler, go and ask Wang Zhutou to come over. Lu Yuan commanded, and then said: "Forget it, I went to see him in person, and now that my identity has been confirmed, he is also my Shangguan, how can there be any reason to let Shangguan come to see Xiaguan." ”

Wang Mang looked at Lu Yuan with a leisurely face, and said with a smile: "Lord Lu, we will be comrades-in-arms in the future, and please Lord Lu Haihan for the previous matter!"

"Wang Zhutou, the Ming people don't say dark words in front of them, what's going on with this official, I think it should be clear to Wang Zhutou. Lu Yuan said directly: "The official only asked Wang Zhutou what conditions were needed to get the official out of this matter." ”

Let Lu Yuan investigate Wang Wengui, on the surface, it is Lu Yuan's investigation, but in fact, behind Wang Wengui is the river yamen, and the energy of the river yamen is not something that Lu Yuan can solve at all, so this matter is to let the Pingyao Lu family and the river channel yamen behind Lu Yuan wrestle their wrists from the beginning, and the Pingyao Lu family does not want to and does not want to make this knife.

Wang Mang smiled and said coldly: "What Lord Lu said, this head catcher doesn't understand, this head catcher does everything according to the holy decree, I don't know when Lord Lu is going to start investigating Wang Wengui." ”

"You ......" Lu Yuan's face turned red and angry.

"Lord Lu, please start the investigation of Wang Wengui's corruption as soon as possible in accordance with the holy decree. Wang Mang ignored Lu Yuan's face and continued: "Xinyang is also in the Weishui River Basin, presumably Lord Lu should have a lot of evidence of Wang Wengui's corruption here. ”

"There's nothing here. Lu Yuan's eyes were glazed.

"Is there really nothing?" Wang Mang laughed and said: "Lord Lu must not make a mistake about himself, with Lord Lu's current identity, everything he says is responsible, although the head of Xinyang River's beware of this catcher has not been inspected on the spot, but some rumors among the people have been heard, and some things we still don't want to say so clearly." ”

"Folk rumors, but chasing the wind and shadows, are not believable. Lu Yuantie said with a blushing face.

"Groundless wind may not be without cause. Wang Mang's expression turned cold, and he said: "Lu Yuan, this head catcher thinks that your Lu family has been loyal and good for generations, and I haven't heard what you said today, but you'd better think about it, who are you?"

"I'm ......" Lu Yuan didn't speak sullenly, for a long time, then he slapped the table, glared at Wang Mang fiercely, and said, "Say, what do you want me to do?"

"It's not what you want to say, but what do you want to do?" Wang Mang's face turned clear instantly, and he said with a smile: "The holy decree says very clearly, you are the organizer of this matter, I am the assistant, and you have to make up your mind about what to do." ”

Sponsorship of fart!

Lu Yuan scolded in his heart, where is this host, this is pushing me into the fire pit!

That's right, legally speaking, Wei Changhong, the chief river envoy of the river yamen, has now been imprisoned in the prison, and the authority of the river yamen has also been reclassified into the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Yu Wenkai temporarily serves as the chief river envoy, but the problem is that the river yamen has thirteen river envoys, remove Wei Changhong, the Chang'an river envoy, and twelve river envoys are in office, in addition, the river yamen also has two deputy chief river envoys, one is Wei Changyou, the Nanyang river envoy, on the one hand, this person is Wei Changhong's younger brother, and must avenge his brother, on the other hand, this person is resident in Nanyang City, under the protection of the four major families in Nanyang, and cannot be easily touched, and one is Nangong Zhe, the envoy of the Shenmu River, now serving in the southern counterinsurgency army, even more shadows are not touched.

As for Wang Wengui involved in this case, through the channels of the Lu family in Pingyao, he had already received the news that after this person escaped from Xinyang City, he first went to Chang'an to find Wei Changhong to complain, which is also the reason why Wei Changhong fired at Lu Yuan in the court, and then Wei Changhong was unlucky and went to prison, Wang Wengui ran out of Chang'an in fright, ran to Nanyang, and went to Nanyang River to make Wei Changyou.

Now let Lu Yuan host the arrest of Wang Wengui, and also use Wang Wengui to set off a big case in the river yamen, how can it be so easy?

Seeing Lu Yuan sitting there sullenly, Wang Mang knew that this matter was indeed quite complicated, even if he let people be so pitted, he would not be happy in his heart.

After a long time, Lu Yuan clapped his hands, Lu Yuan's housekeeper walked in with a small box, and then retreated, Lu Yuan pointed to the box and said, "Wang Zhutou, what you want is here." ”

"Here?" Wang Mang glanced at the box, and said in his heart, isn't this product desperate and ready to bribe me? Although it is a bit strange for the emperor to accept bribes from his ministers, but ......

"Well, here it is. Lu Yuan's expression was a little silent, and he said, "Do you remember the first time you went to Xinyang City and came to my mansion to see me talking to Wang Wengui?"

"Huh?" Wang Mang was absent-minded, still thinking about whether the emperor should accept bribes from his officials.

"That time, Wang Wengui actually came to me to talk about the reinforcement of Xinyang River. Lu Yuan said lightly: "Wang Wengui is going to take out 10,000 taels of silver from the river money to repair the river embankment, and ask me to sign it." ”

"This is a good thing, building the river embankment for the benefit of the people, but I saw that the two of you did not seem to have a pleasant conversation at that time. Wang Mang's mind turned and he frowned.

"It's a good thing!" Lu Yuan said angrily: "The money is real, and the account is also true, but Wang Wengui didn't plan to repair the river embankment at all, he just wanted to set up a project to get the river money out, and afterwards, he and I divided the account with three or seven, I three and he seven, you say, can I sell my conscience for a mere three thousand taels of silver?"

"......" Wang Mang just wanted to ** Lu Yuan, but he never expected to get such exciting news from Lu Yuan's mouth, this is not just a lack of conscience, this is simply digging into the corner of his Wang Mang!

"I know you don't believe it. Lu Yuan pointed to the box on the table and said: "Here are the accounts of Xinyang County's river repairs over the years, and there are two accounts in it, one is reported to the imperial court, which is the same as the accounts reported to the imperial court by the river yamen, and the other is the real account, which is read by my own people." ”

With a wry smile, Lu Yuan continued: "I have been here for three years to serve as Xinyang Ling, frankly speaking, seeing these things, it is really shocking, you don't know how bad the river of Xinyang River was three years ago, it is even worse than tofu dregs, I spent three years, spent one-third of Xinyang City's budget, and subsidized a lot of silver from home, which strengthened Xinyang River's vigilance......"

Wang Mang listened to Lu Yuan's talk about the renovation of the Xinyang River, his brows furrowed deeply, until this moment, Wang Mang knew that the corruption of the river yamen was far from being as simple as he thought, and it had reached such a shocking point.

"Ding......

The system's prompt beeps suddenly.
