Chapter 363: Feng Wuji Arrives
Lu Xiangyang's words were natural in He Xingzhi's ears, because supervising officials at all levels is the authority of the Daotai. In the more than ten years since Lu Xiangyang took office, no one at all levels in Chuzhou dared to take bribes.
Lu Xiangyang left office three years ago, and there was no Taoist platform in Chuzhou, and officials at all levels began to drift a little. Last year, it happened to be the time when Chuzhou's reform was developing rapidly. Maybe some people think that the Xuantian Mansion of Taishou Mansion is focusing on reform and will not notice their movements, which is why they are so bold.
But these words fell on Lu Sheng's ears, but it was a little ugly, after all, supervising the civil and military officials was also within the scope of Xuantian Mansion's authority. If the Daotai is not there, Xuantian Mansion should take over.
But in an instant, Lu Sheng was also relieved. Because he subconsciously wanted to maintain a good relationship with the Taishou Mansion, Lu Sheng tried not to put his hand into the jurisdiction of the Taishou Mansion. This has led to such a big mistake now, which Lu Sheng also admits wrong.
"The only thing to do now is not to discuss whose fault is to blame, but how to find and fill in the gaps. Lu Xiangyang said again.
"Yes, we have to carry out the supervision of the rest of the granaries in secret, and we must count how much has been sold by those corrupt officials and corrupt officials. This matter is too big, and it must not be hidden from the imperial court, so He Taishou, you should report it to the emperor. ”
Lu Sheng's words suddenly made He Xingzhi have the urge to sell batches.
"The last thing is the most important thing, which is to recover the stolen and sold official grain, such a huge amount, it is absolutely impossible for them to transport it silently. I have already inquired about the exit checkpoints, and there is no record of the situation of the large quantities of the Food for the Heavenly Grain Store.
If the official food is recovered, then there is no danger, if it can't be recovered, He Taishou, we will both wait for the punishment. ”
Lu Sheng's words barely gave He Xing any leeway, and when such a serious thing happened, there was no way for him to retreat. Of the three people present, the only one who could leave was Lu Xiangyang.
In seven days, He Xingzhi set up a secret inspection team to inspect the granaries in Chuzhou one by one.
But the results of the inspection made He Xingzhi's heart cold. Lu Sheng's estimated amount is still less, and the grain that was really resold by the government was 30 million stones. What does this mean? The granary in Chuzhou is 30 percent empty.
What kind of quantity is this? This is enough to wash the officialdom of Chuzhou in blood from top to bottom. As soon as this case came out, the prefect and the county order of the Taishou couldn't run away even with the county lieutenant.
The grain road officials were sent batch after batch, and Xuan Tianwei took turns to interrogate day and night, but except for a ghost owner as an intermediary, there was no progress at all.
Where did the official rations that had been sold go, how did they transport them, and who handled them? They didn't even know what they were doing. They just need to arrange themselves to be on duty on a specific night, and then sleep with their heads in their heads. The next day, the grain was gone.
Then, just sit back and wait for the money to be collected.
As for how the food is used, they don't know anything. Even, before they entered the Xuantian Mansion, they didn't know that what they were buying was the Food for Heaven Grain Shop.
The dirty silver was confiscated by Xuan Tianwei in batches, but what could this silver be compared to the missing 30 million stone grains? Lu Sheng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and he didn't close his eyes for seven days and seven nights.
Dragging his tired body, it was already midnight when Lu Sheng returned to Yuzhu Villa. Lu Sheng came back quietly without alarming anyone.
But even if he returned to his long-lost home, Lu Sheng was still worried about the case of official food in his heart. The Xuantian Mansion has been trying to pry open the mouths of those corrupt officials, and even if they are tortured, they still do not get useful information.
According to the confessions of those corrupt officials, there is only one nether owner as an intermediary. Who is the other party, how did they transport the official grain, who did they sell it to, and where did they go?
As for why these corrupt officials easily believe in the easy submission, in addition to the temptation of silver, the ghost owner also has evidence of their previous corruption and bribery.
There is a saying that flies don't bite eggs, and before they stole and sold official food in large quantities, they actually secretly sold official food. It's just that this number is very small, and it can't shake the foundation of Chuzhou.
But the importance of official grain is the first class in Chuzhou, so even if it is stolen and sold 1,000 stones, once the East Window incident occurs, it will be severely punished. Since the handle was caught by the ghost owner, they could only comply.
Ghost Owner...... But Xuan Tianwei has been inquiring privately for so long, and he has never heard of such a person as a ghost owner.
So Lu Sheng concluded that this person was either just a code name, or a certain force secretly did it.
"Yuzhu, are you back?" a cold voice interrupted Lu Sheng's musings. Although Lu Sheng's return did not alarm anyone, he definitely couldn't hide it.
"Well, Yan'er, come in. ”
The door was slowly pushed open, and Lu Sheng was surprised to see Bu Feiyan slowly walk in with a basin of water. The faint white smoke of the water basin, and the face of the non-smoker who gave way looked dreamlike.
Looking at Lu Sheng's haggard face, a trace of heartache flashed in Bu Feiyan's eyes. The martial arts are so high that Lu Sheng's realm can no longer make Lu Sheng feel tired from ordinary fatigue. Unless it's really a huge pressure that makes Lu Sheng look so haggard.
Bu Feiyan gently put the basin on the table, squeezed the towel and handed it to Lu Sheng, "Wipe your face." ”
"Oh!" Lu Sheng's movements were a little stiff, not that he was flattered, but Lu Sheng never thought that the Ice Spirit Sword Immortal, who was like a fairy, would one day hand himself a hot water towel like a little woman?
The power of love is really powerful and terrifying. Bu Feiyan's face was indifferent, as if she had done it for granted.
Seeing that Lu Sheng finished washing his face, Bu Feiyan slowly squatted down again to take off Lu Sheng's shoes, Lu Sheng hurriedly supported Bu Feiyan and shook his head with a smile.
"I don't need this, I'll do it myself. These days...... You've been waiting for me?"
Bu Feiyan's cheeks were slightly red, since he agreed on the marriage date with Lu Sheng, Bu Feiyan was indeed easy to blush, and shook his head slightly, "I rarely sleep at night, basically meditating until dawn." ”
Lu Sheng can't deny it, who made him so lazy and almost never practiced, but what is even more unacceptable is that such a lazy guy's martial arts are still improving so fast.
"Do you want me to help?" Bu Feiyan cleverly didn't ask Lu Sheng what had happened recently, why he didn't come back for seven days in a row.
"Not for the time being, I can't be with you in the last few days......"
"It's okay, the days to come are still long. Take care of yourself, don't get too tired. I feel...... You're not in good shape right now. ”
"How could it be? If that bastard dares to jump out and stand in front of me, I promise to beat him energetically for three days and three nights. ”
Watching Lu Sheng wash his feet, Bu Feiyan picked up the basin again, "You have a good rest, I'm leaving." ”
At this moment, Lu Sheng, who was hot in his heart, had the urge to open his mouth to keep it, but he didn't say it in the end.
Bu Feiyan left, Lu Sheng also obediently went to bed, in a daze, the spring dream was traceless. When a knock on the door woke Lu Sheng up, Lu Sheng's anger was still very strong.
"Childe, Childe, are you there? I heard Miss Yan say that you came back last night?" the housekeeper Qin Bo's voice was still calling outside the door.
There are subordinates in Yuzhu Villa, but these subordinates are all good families. It was Lu Sheng who posted the recruitment notice, and was personally selected by Lu Sheng after the interview.
Qin Bo used to be the housekeeper of a large family, but later the family's business went bankrupt and all the family business was sold. But fortunately, that family still has a little conscience, and for the sake of Qin Bo who has been working hard with him for decades, he changed Qin Bo's good status when he went bankrupt.
Uncle Qin, who had been unemployed at home for a year, happened to meet Lu Sheng to recruit people. In the past two years, Uncle Qin has kept Yuzhu Villa in good order, and there has never been a little mistake.
When he opened his eyes, he stared at the snow-white gauze tent, "It's just a little bit...... That's it......"
Lu Sheng got up angrily and came to open the door with his clothes dressed, "Uncle Qin, son, I only came back when I was ugly, and I have only slept for less than two hours now!"
Lu Sheng looked at the still somewhat dim sky and drank it grumblingly.
"Childe forgives the sin, the villain doesn't know when Childe will come back. It's just that Feng Gongzi came early in the morning, saying that he had something important to see the adult, and the villain looked at Feng Gongzi's face This matter seems to be very important, so ......"
"Feng Gongzi?"
"Yes!"
Qin Bo's eyesight, Lu Sheng still believes it very much. Nodding, he went back to the house to wash up, and then went out again and walked to the living room. After Lu Sheng left, the two maids immediately entered Lu Sheng's room to make his bed.
This day is truly depraved.
Feng Wuji was half-lying on the chair without any image, his legs crossed and shaking like a telegram. If this guy is given a sofa, Lu Sheng dares to guarantee that he can lie down in the standard posture of Ge You.
"I said Feng Wuji, you don't disturb people's dreams early in the morning, right?"
Hearing Lu Sheng's arrival, Feng Wuji hurriedly sat up straight and stood up, "I'm afraid it's disturbing people's spring dreams, right?" I said no wonder you were able to refuse your little sister ruthlessly back then, it turns out that you already have Bu Feiyan." ”
Maybe it's the relationship between his peers, maybe it's Feng Wuji's really no taboos, he seems to show that kind of bohemian appearance to anyone. Say whatever you want, joke about it, whatever you want. But for such a person, Lu Sheng couldn't be angry.
It has been half a month since Feng Wuji came to Chuzhou, and his style of doing things is one word, fast! As soon as he and Lu Sheng finalized the development of real estate, he immediately ordered people to move in a hurry.
A few days later, he went to Taishoufu again and proposed to cooperate with Taishoufu to build roads. In ancient times, building bridges and paving roads was a great act of kindness, and that was the first standard of behavior for the people to think of great benevolence. But in Feng Wuji's advanced strategic vision, the road was built for his future business empire to run through the entire Chuzhou.
When Lu Sheng learned about Feng Wuji's actions, although he looked like he didn't care about himself, he was very impressed in his heart. Sure enough, none of the Storm Palaces were straw bales, and Feng Wuji was afraid that he would have to open a commercial one.
According to the information Lu Sheng obtained, Feng Wuji should be very busy now, he should be recruiting a construction team to set up an infrastructure madness company, why did he suddenly come to find him?
