Chapter 10: I've got some lemons
Daming Palace Flying Frost Palace.
"Big friend, can the green doctor go back?" Lu Cheng has a small plan, the evidence must be collected quietly, public opinion must be slightly guided, and the people's anger is aroused, and someone always has to go to peace, right?
Wei Zhongxian replied, "It's already back." Everyone, but do you need to pass on the green doctor to bring things over? β
Lu Cheng said: "Let her go to the Flying Frost Hall as soon as possible, I have something to explain." β
"No."
However, after a short time of tea, the green doctor had already arrived outside the Flying Frost Palace.
Wei Zhongxian reminded: "Everyone, the green doctor has arrived. β
Lu Cheng said: "Got it, let her in." β
When the green doctor came in, Wei Zhongxian withdrew some of the chamberlains and palace maids with great eyes.
Lu Cheng asked the green doctor solemnly: "Is it possible to be sure that the Great Zhou People's Daily has spread to every county in the Great Zhou?" Does Da Zhou Min Bao have a wide readership base in each county? I will hear the truth! β
The green doctor replied without a heart: "Don't dare to deceive everyone, the green doctor is willing to guarantee with his life, and the Dazhou Minbao has spread to every county in Dazhou." Judging from the newspapers taken from each county, the foundation of Da Zhou Minbao in each county is very solid! β
"Good! I want all those who read or listen to the Da Zhou Minbao to know a story! β
"Everyone, please command."
"Tell the story of a corrupt official who embezzled disaster relief materials and displaced the people in the disaster area. tells a story about the smell of wine and meat in Zhumen, and the frozen bones on the road. Tell the last series, and every day has to have a powerful story. For example, in the twenty-first year of Zhanghe Jiangling, I think it is very suitable to make up a story, so that the people of Jiangling can empathize! This month, I have to put such a story on the front page every day, do you understand? β
"Green Doctor understands that everyone can rest assured that as soon as tomorrow morning, the storyteller in Kyoto will be telling the new story, and the newspaper reader in the newspaper reading hall will also read the new story. For seven days at the latest, new stories will be told on the streets of the entire Great Week. β
Lu Cheng smiled and encouraged the green doctor: "Do a good job, and when the Great Zhou Minbao is made public, that is, when you turn from dark to light, you can officially step into the officialdom." β
The Green Doctor's eyes instantly bloomed with a light called ambition, and even her tone of allegiance was full of energy and hope: "No." Green Doctor will do its best to run the Dazhou People's Daily and become the throat of everyone in the world! β
Following.
"Hey, have you heard? Today, the storyteller of the drunken night building told a new story. β
"Heard! Heard! That high-ranking official named Yan Shen is really not a thing. β
"No, their house is luxuriousβwhat's the point? By the way, it is 'white jade is a horse made of gold, and pearls are like earth and gold are like iron.' β ββ
"Yi Zi eats, the world is the most sad, if it weren't for the corrupt official Yan Shen who was greedy for disaster relief materials, why would it be like this!" The sympathetic and resentful look of the man who spoke could not be more obvious. With such a strong empathy, I'm afraid it's not some unknown experience.
There was a Xiucai with a bit of yearning in his eyes, and his mouth was indeed muttering: "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road...... β‘β
"Bai Sanniang's family is really miserable, the family was originally considered to have a small foundation, but once a natural disaster, it was destroyed. If the relief is delayed, it is a starvation to death! β
ββ¦β¦β
At this time, some people hidden in the crowd saw that the atmosphere had almost been set off, and further incited: "Isn't there a snow disaster in Liaoyang this year, what if there are officials like the corrupt official Yan Shen to reach out to the disaster relief materials for the victims?" β
This question is like a spark that ignites a cannonball. There was a lot of talk in the crowd.
"Yes, what if a corrupt official reaches out for relief supplies? It's not impossible! β
"That's right! That's right! What if the corrupt official not only stretched out his hand, but also continued to be his high-ranking official like Yan Shen in the story? That's really...... Alas! β
ββ¦β¦β
Seeing that the people were a little depressed, some people hidden in the crowd continued to incite: "Don't be afraid, today is a good emperor who dares to speak up for the people and angrily criticize Liu Yushi." As long as we unite ......"
"Yes, we can go to the people's letter and sue the royal court, and we must not let corrupt officials go unpunished."
"Corrupt officials cannot be allowed to go unpunished."
"Corrupt officials must be brought to justice!"
Some people hidden in the crowd, seeing the excitement of the crowd, smiled slightly and then retired.
Today, many officials and powerful people in Kyoto have received news about the excitement of the masses.
The hearts of the principals of some mansions are pounding, and they feel that something is wrong. These are not very sensitive to smell, and they are hurriedly sent to their own children.
"Quick, quickly send a message to Saburo, this trip must not be stained with oil and water."
"Hurry up and tell Gorou ......"
ββ¦β¦ Hopefully, it's still too late! β
And some of those who are more sensible are to send people to find out how much their children are greedy, and to talk to some families who are also greedy with their children.
Whether your own children can be guaranteed or not, I'm afraid it depends on how well it operates.
Others with a keen sense of smell breathed a sigh of relief. Secretly proud, probably escaped.
But they were still not very reassured, so they sent some more people to give them more important advice.
The first line from Kyoto to Liaoyang is going to be very busy.
No matter what kind of thoughts, spies, reports, warnings, etc., there will definitely be more people running around the line from Kyoto to Liaoyang.
β¦β¦
The disaster relief team has already walked to the capital city of Shanbei County (each county has a capital city, which is higher than the county seat and is the economic and cultural center of each county. When I arrived in Fucheng, according to the "convention", of course, I had to take a rest.
Someone has already received a letter from home. But there are always people who claim to be smart, and they feel that they are the smartest people in the world, and the old man in the family is simply old and dare not fight, so he makes such a judgment.
There are also some timid people who choose to stop.
There are also some people who see others making a lot of money, and they choose to join with red eyes, holding a fluke mentality, they are gambling, and they don't blame the public for gambling. But they forgot that the Son of Heaven was angry and ambushed millions of corpses.
The main envoy Gao Xuan was told by countless elders before he set off, and he was told to listen to the deputy envoy this time, and he went to brush up on his merits. There is also an explanation to him, the disaster relief water in Liaoyang is too deep, and the Chengze Hou Mansion is not bad for money, and you are the son of the Chengze Hou Mansion, don't be greedy for small money and lose your future.
Originally, Gao Xuan was disdainful of greed, but he attended a three-day banquet in Chencang Mansion City, and he was dragged into the water.
Today he received a letter from home, he is not a stupid person, he can feel the chill of Sensen from the letter. What to do, what to do if he gets his hands dirty...... Gao Xuan was extremely regretful, why didn't he follow in the footsteps of the two deputy envoys in the first place? Why did he go to the banquet? Why did he just get involved in the gregariousness? Gao Xuan was also panicked, he was the timid wave, he didn't continue to participate in the banquet in Shanbei Mansion City.
β¦β¦
The atmosphere in the Flying Frost Hall was very serious. Because, the detectives of the East Factory came back with a message.
Lu Cheng was not surprised to see that Wei Zhongxian's expression was not very good-looking, she knew those greedy bureaucrats too well, she said: "Big companion, let's say, who are the people who have touched their hands?" β
"Back to everyone, there are really a lot of people who have their hands touched. Yan Song, Zheng Shu, Dong Yi, Qu Yuanfeng, Ding Xuewen of the Ministry of Etiquette, Kong Song, Wang Pu, Xin An, Bai Jialin of the Ministry of Etiquette...... Also, there's ......"
The sound of Lu Cheng knocking on the desk continued, unaffected by Wei Zhongxian's stoppage.
Lu Cheng urged: "Why don't you continue to report?" Don't spit it out, report! I came to see which powerful family had shocked my companions. β
"Yes...... It is the son of Gao Shizi of the Chengze Marquis Mansion. β
"Gao Xuan?" Lu Cheng repeated, and at the same time, the sound of her knocking on the table stopped.
Lu Cheng asked, "The prince of the Chengze Marquis Mansion is not short of greedy ink, right?" β
"Back to everyone, according to the report, Gao Shizi participated in the three-day banquet in Chencang Mansion City, and it seems that he was dragged into the water......" Wei Zhongxian tried to excuse Gao Xuan, after all, he was the nephew of the Queen Mother.
This situation is not conducive to the mother-daughter relationship between Jinshang and the Queen Mother! If one is not handled well, I am afraid that it will not cause a gap between Jinshang and the Queen Mother.
"What about the Queen Mother's nephew?" Lu Cheng interrupted Wei Zhongxian's exculpation, she didn't plan to go down the stairs.
Lu Cheng dipped his hand in the teacup, which had already cooled, and wrote down a number.
Then she instructed: "Companion, just limit this number, and if you exceed this number, continue to collect evidence and continue to follow up." If you don't exceed it, give them a letter to their family. Multiply the number of their greedy ink tenfold, and tell their family that they can catch people if they want to, just make up the number of their greedy ink. As for Gao Xuan, let's see how lucky he is! If he is greedy for ink and exceeds the line I have drawn, then he will do his business and there will be no special treatment. β
Wei Zhongxian replied, "No." β
When Wei Zhongxian came out of the Flying Frost Palace, he took out a thick thread newspaper from his wide tweed cuffs, he flipped through the online newspaper, and finally found Gao Shizi, and then breathed a long sigh of relief.
Wei Zhongxian's steps were much lighter, and he began to instruct his subordinates to report to some people's homes one by one. The focus is on, if a family doesn't want to pay the money, mention that family, and some families are not qualified to be believed!
Kyoto Josawa Hou Mansion.
Cheng Zehou sent off the waiter who came to carry the letter with a smile on his face, and then he returned to the study and changed the door. Cheng Zehou was on the high chair, and his face suddenly became gloomy, like a Sichuan opera changing face. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the green tendons on his forehead protruded, and suddenly there was a "bang" sound, which was the sound of a cup being broken. At the same time, he scolded: "Rebel-"
Many of the mansion directors almost changed their faces in the same Sichuan opera, and scolded the same "rebel-"
But no matter how angry they are, the money they should take out is indispensable.
They were relieved, feeling that the other part of the people who didn't even have the qualifications to ransom people was really miserable. They are still living in the trepidation of the unknown. Thinking like this, they are a lot happier when they pay for it, and they also alleviate some of their distress. Forget it, let's think of it as a financial disaster!
In the end, Lu Cheng made a lot of money, and the inner treasury was full of a lot. Lu Cheng had just seen so much silver in the Flying Frost Palace, and when she was in front of her, her eyes were already green, and she couldn't help but think, this sheep is so fat!
"I admit that I have some lemons, how can the family be richer than me? Mu, Mu! Someday ......"
