Chapter 296: Ye Buxiu (9)
Qian Si became even more angry as he spoke, and his expression looked like he was going to eat Zhao Lan.
"I don't like to hear what you say, Lord Qian, don't you know, almost all the workers who dredge the river come from the vegetable market stalls outside and the criminals in the prison, those who kill pigs and slaughter cattle, are the main force of the dredging project, from them to spend a little money to buy something, you can get the most accurate information, it is much better than going to the underground river so blindly to find out, right? What's more, only in this way can we know the real destination of the disaster relief funds allocated by the imperial court every year. "Zhao Lan said the head of the way.
"I know, I know, I know, just because you have such an idea, I ran into a thief, and my five hundred taels of silver were stolen like this" Qian Si said with a depressed expression, looking at the eyes of the emperor, he only felt that Qian Si even had the words "want to cry without tears" written on the tips of his eyebrows.
"Lord Qian, you're too stingy. Who in the whole world doesn't know, as long as you have a lot of money, it is a rich country, why are you pretending to be poor? A mere five hundred taels of silver is not even a dime a dozen to you, what is there to feel sorry for? Zhao Lan said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Seeing this, Emperor Xi said in his heart that these two people are really a pair of living treasures, but the two of them insisted on their own words, and said that Emperor Xi's head was confused: "Can the two adults stop first?" I don't know what you're talking about now, but is it very relevant? ”
"Ma'am, of course it is. We were going to go to the underground river to investigate the current situation, so we went to the street together, but I didn't think that Lord Zhao had to make a difference, and my money was stolen. If you steal it, you steal it, and Lord Zhao still killed him and didn't admit that it was because of him. It's a good thing, the money is gone, the things haven't been found, and the underground river has not been visited. If you want to go to the underground river again, I'm afraid you will have to let the soldiers open the way, otherwise the city will be full of people, wouldn't it be very troublesome? ”
"Listening to Lord Qian, it seems that you were planning to take a look at it before?" When Emperor Xi heard this, he finally understood a little.
These two adults didn't want to startle the snake, they just wanted to secretly investigate the origin of the matter, but Shattered Leaf City was unfamiliar to them, and it was really difficult for them to find some clues easily.
"I can't talk about micro-service, I just want it to be easier to collect some evidence, whether the disaster relief funds in the past three years have been implemented in the hands of these people, naturally you have to get the most real thoughts from their mouths, Lord Zhao should also mean this, right?"
"Lord Qian is right, but Lord Qian, we know very well, do you dare to swear to us on a guarantee ticket, and say that this embezzlement of disaster relief funds has nothing to do with you?" Zhao Lan said, and actually began to dig a pit, he said as he smiled, that smile looked very sinister and cunning.
Qian Si couldn't help but explode when he heard it: "Hey, I said, Lao Zhang, what you said is over, we have been officials in the same dynasty for so many years, don't you know what kind of person I am?" I do love money more, and I really can't control myself, but I have never touched the money related to the people's livelihood. Lao Zhao, you are just squirting people with blood. ”
"You naturally understand in your heart whether to swallow this stolen money, and I'm not confused, this account is not something you can say with your mouth. Whether you participate or not, we will see later. But I can remind you, Lord Qian, if this matter really has anything to do with you, I will definitely not show mercy, and I will definitely report the amount to Your Majesty truthfully. What Zhao Lan said was very righteous and righteous.
"Lao Zhao, I can tell you, if you want to say so, then my words will be put here first, if I find out that you are implicated, I will definitely deal with it impartially and report it to Your Majesty." Qian Si was also angry when he listened, and his tone was hurried, and the spittle stars began to fly.
Seeing that the two of them were talking and talking again, Di Xi couldn't help but laugh dumbly on the side.
After a long time, these two are a pair of living treasures. can be described like this, but Di Xi understands that these two people's thinking and ideas are very organized, and they are very shrewd, they are by no means the kind of people who are ordinary mediocre, but from the appearance of one is fat and the other is not fat, one is honest and honest and the other is willing to do anything for money.
It's especially interesting for the two of them to get together.
"Two adults, let's not argue, whether the embezzlement of disaster relief funds has anything to do with the two of them, the investigation still has to be investigated, the two adults said is this reason? Isn't it a joke for outsiders to fight in the nest now? Emperor Xi estimated that these two people were not stupid, so it would naturally save trouble if he mentioned it like this.
Indeed, after hearing this, Zhao Lan and Qian Si actually said in unison: "Isn't it?" It's all Lao Zhao/Lao Qian who has to cause trouble. I said what about you, what are you pointing the finger at me? ”
The two of them said the same thing, and they also stretched out their hands to compare with each other, their movements were extremely synchronized, and Emperor Xi looked at it, and he was even more happy.
"Two adults, it's early in the morning, since things are delayed, it's better to have some breakfast first, it's not easy for you to do things with an empty stomach." Emperor Xi pulled the two away quietly, although he was asking for their opinions verbally, but at the moment he spoke, he greeted more than a dozen maids, and dragged the two out without saying a word, so that they didn't want to eat, and they had to pad their stomachs a little.
Although these two people are very good at mixing in front of each other, they really eat, and they are silent, only to hear the sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding endlessly, thinking that they are really hungry after they have pounced on the air and rice and water in the early morning.
Seeing that the two of them were no longer noisy, Di Xi breathed a sigh of relief, beckoned the two of them not to be polite, and after continuing to eat, he blessed the two of them slightly and withdrew.
"Where is Ye Buxiu?" After leaving Zhao Lan and Qian Si, Emperor Xi immediately returned to his original appearance, and it was not polite to call Ye Buxiu's name at all.
Everyone in the mansion said that Emperor Xi was Ye Buxiu's newly married wife, so naturally they didn't dare to offend, even if they saw Emperor Xi's domineering appearance, they didn't dare to complain for half a lifetime.
"Mrs. Hui, my lord will go to the underground river before dawn today."
Hearing this, Emperor Xi nodded: "Got it, by the way, where do you usually work in the mansion?" The adults are not here, so I have to help clean up, so that the adults don't have to waste time looking for information when they come back. ”
Emperor Xi casually asked to see Ye Buxiu's daily office, and when the maid heard this, she naturally responded and took Emperor Xi to the back garden of Ye Mansion.
