Chapter 138: Hurricane Dong Li
Chen Wangshu listened to this voice, his body shook, and a song of female champions echoed in his mind.
Isn't this big Chen Chaomo a woman as an official?
Just this voice, tactful as a nightingale, crisp race yellow oriole, beautiful as a lark! is the favorite pelican lady of the official family, and her singing songs are not so beautiful when she was a child.
Chen Wangshu turned his head to look, only to see that everyone looked at the man standing by the door. He looked young about eighteen or nineteen years old, his skin was as white as snow, his lips were purple as grapes, and his eyes were like eagles in the sky.
He is not like Snow White, but like Snow White's stepmother.
Although it is good-looking, it doesn't look like a good person at first glance. It's hard to imagine that such a beautiful sound came out of this person's mouth.
Yan Jue noticed Chen Wangshu's gaze and quietly came over, "Dong Li is the leader of the previous subject, and when he was a junior scholar, he was only sixteen years old. It is a rare talent in the world. His father, Dong Cheng, used to be the imperial history, but once he went out of the city, he disappeared. ”
Chen Wangshu looked at Yan Jue in surprise, "Do you know him?" ”
Now it was Yan Jue's turn to be surprised, "You don't know him?" He has a long feast with your brother, and he is a close friend. ”
Yan Jue said, his voice was a little aggrieved, "When you quit your family, your brother still intends to let Dong Li marry you!" ”
Chen Wangshu came to his senses at this time, and carefully looked Dong Li up and down, he was tall, especially with a pair of long legs, and the same group of old men stood in the same hall, and his waist was simply on someone's chest.
Yan Jue looked at her like this, and couldn't wait to slap herself and tell you to talk more! He thought, quietly stretching his legs.
Chen Wangshu felt a squeeze under his feet, and looked over angrily, "What are you doing with your legs stretching out?" ”
Yan Jue thumped his legs, "The legs are too long, they have been shrinking before, and they are numb." ”
…… The corners of Chen Wangshu's mouth twitched, why didn't I see your legs numb before!
"His lips are too purple, I would think that he was poisoned, and I can't help but fight poison with poison!"
Yan Jue almost didn't hold back, if it weren't for the fact that it wasn't a suitable scene for laughing now, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to cross his waist and laugh out loud.
"What does Dong Yushi have to play? If it doesn't matter, it's not too late to play tomorrow morning. ”
The official opened his mouth heavily, and the voice outside the words was, don't be boring, Lao Tzu just wants to take advantage of auspicious things to listen to people pat on the back! But there are so many uninteresting people, jumping out one after another, and the dishes are cold!
Dong Li seemed to be blind and deaf, and said directly, "Minister Dong Li, the evidence of the third prince privately opening mines and reselling illegal salt is conclusive. And by transporting illicit salt, the ill-gotten gains were laundered. ”
The third prince was startled and immediately jumped out, "Dong Li, you are grandstanding!" What kind of private salt matter, Xiling has already said, she doesn't know anything. ”
Chen Wangshu looked at Chen Xiling, only to see her hand grabbing the corner of her skirt, tightening it, and after a while, letting go again.
Although Dong Li's voice was delicate, his speech was loud and imposing.
"The third prince has no right to interrupt at will, please respect yourself. Since Dong dares to go to the book, he has real evidence. If Dong finishes speaking, the third prince still has the power to refute, and it is not too late to speak. ”
"As a prince, you should be shocked when things change, you really shouldn't be."
The third prince opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but Dong Li treated him like an official, completely ignoring his statement and mood, and took out the evidence by himself.
He pulled a scroll from his bosom and pointed at it.
"This place, called Pingshan, is in Lin'an. This Pingshan has no scenery and no birds, it is a barren mountain, and it is not famous. The official family still remembers that three years ago, someone played a concert and said a strange thing. ”
"It's about a village on the outskirts of the city, the water source is polluted, and its water is bitter, like Coptis chinensis. There was a pungent smell on the nose. The imperial court sent people to check, but there was no solution. ”
"The crops in the fields in the village are also yellow and young, and they cannot produce them. Villagers struggle with water and are reluctant to leave their homes. So the local parents asked the imperial court, hoping to allocate funds to relocate the people of this village collectively. ”
The official nodded, "This is true." At that time, the demand was huge, and it was too greedy. I rejected it, but instead set aside another piece of land for them to live in. ”
Dong Li hummed softly, "That village is at the foot of Pingshan Mountain, and the person who went to deal with this matter at that time was His Royal Highness the Third Prince." The people were reluctant to move the ancestral graves, and there was a disturbance for a while. The court was annoyed, and in the end, it was the Third Highness who knew about it and moved it with reason, so they moved away. Because of this incident, the official family also rewarded the third prince and rewarded him with a peacock feather coat. ”
Hearing him remind him like this, the people in the court obviously thought about it.
Chen Wangshu looked at Yan Jue and whispered: "There is such a thing, the peacock feather coat, Chen Xiling still wears it." ”
But that time, the third prince actually secretly gave money to all the village households at the foot of Pingshan, and sent soldiers from the palace to move the graves of the villagers. He was so willing and dealt with it quickly. ”
"It's because when he went, he found that this Pingshan is a salt mountain."
"Before the water source incident in Pingshan Village, there was a time when the dragon in Lin'an Mansion turned over. Because of this, Pingshan collapsed in many places, polluting the underground water source, and the well water was salty and bitter, and the crops were burned to death. ”
Dong Li's momentum was like a rainbow, and he continued, "The third prince found out about this and did not report it. Instead, he asked the officials to close Pingshan and prevent people from entering and leaving, so as not to suffer from the poisonous water. ”
Many of the people in the main hall nodded.
That's true, because Pingshan is an unknown broken place, many people have never been there at all, and there are no people there, so the mountain will be closed. At that time, no one objected, and even thought, don't make a noise, don't let people know that there are such unpeaceful ghost places in Lin'an.
"The three princes monopolized Pingshan and sent people into the mountains to mine salt......"
"You talk nonsense! You're just talking nonsense! The third prince blushed and shouted loudly.
He glanced at Gao Xianggong, but saw Gao Xianggong bowing his head, looking at his toes, and didn't say a word.
The third prince was shocked in his heart, and shouted again, "I dealt with the matter of Pingshan, but I don't know what happened after the mountain was closed." ”
Dong Li glanced at the third prince and said seriously, "Your Highness doesn't have a bad memory. Please don't interject at will. ”
He said, and then continued, "Then the four families of King Zhou and Liu Yang sold illicit salt in bulk." Among them, Chen Xiling, the third princess surnamed Zhou, is an old acquaintance, and she came forward. The Wang Liu family is the relatives of the Wang family of the side family of the third prince, and the Yang family ......"
Dong Li said, glancing at Gao Xianggong, "The Yang family is the concubine of Gao Mu, the younger brother of the noble concubine. The official family, please see, here is the testimony of Li You, the steward sent to Pingshan by the three princes, as well as the testimony of the Zhou Dong family, and the testimony of the Liu family. ”
Among them, Li You provided an account book, which is when the Three Princes' Mansion will ship and when the money will be recovered. The official family can see it at a glance. ”
