Chapter 805: Finding a Backer
If this matter is reported, Qian Huichun will naturally be exempted from some of the guilt, and he will also be able to make meritorious contributions. Maybe the court will open up and spare his life.
But the implications were widespread, and he was involved. Even though he only drank a soup, he still stretched out his hand after all.
If the court investigates it, then he himself will have to bear the responsibility!
What is the difference between weight and weight at that point? And because of the flood, the crime is added to the crime, and the final punishment is combined!
What's more, if he opened his mouth, those officials would not spare him.
I'm afraid that before the court has time to investigate, he has already lost his life at the hands of others.
If he is exposed, he will die; If he doesn't expose it, he may die just as well.
Chen Zhao is Qian Huichun's confidant, of course he understands what the adults are hesitating about.
Because when the adults were in cahoots with those people, he didn't take advantage of them.
"My lord! Think again! If we don't expose it, we will be held accountable! ”
Chen Zhao was a little anxious, and he couldn't help but remind.
"Then if it is exposed, we will be exempted? This matter implicates those court officials in the capital, if we really expose it, those ministers will not let us go, and we will die faster! ”
Chen Zhao suddenly realized when he said this, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
That's right! He still thought too simply.
He had always thought that the adults were timid and didn't dare to go too far, and the little money he got was nothing compared to those people.
But he ignored one point, those people were ruthless.
If they had said it, would they have survived?
Chen Zhao just wanted to speak, but suddenly thought, "That's not right! My lord, if this happens, even if we don't say it, those people won't let us go! ”
Chen Zhao was in a hurry, staring at Qian Huichun, as if Qian Huichun was his lifeline.
"Of course, this official understands that when the capital knows about this, they will inevitably have to sit on pins and needles. As long as we live, they won't be able to sleep at night. So, we have to find a backer. ”
Qian Huichun has a plan, but he is involved in the flood at this time, who dares to protect him from those big people in Beijing?
No one would dare to take such a big risk to protect him! Besides, there is no benefit to protect him at this time, on the contrary, he has to get into trouble.
"My lord, have you found a backer? At this juncture, who will support us? ”
Chen Zhao's heart was suddenly relieved, and he knew that the adults would definitely be able to think of a way.
"You also understand our current situation, where can we find a way out without paying some price? Patron? can be used as a backer for us, naturally because we have a place to use. ”
Qian Huichun said earnestly.
He originally wanted to keep this thing for future promotions, but now he has to take it out.
Late at night, a fluttering sound of wings sounded, and Ming Yan hurriedly stepped forward to check.
Now there are flying pigeons who have passed the book, and it can only be Ding Sixteen from Jiangnan.
The lord ordered Ding Sixteen and they went to several state capitals in the south of the Yangtze River for the sake of the Tianyajiang River.
Two days ago, the Lord had already ordered Ding Sixteen to draw a map of Linjiang.
The adults were originally waiting for it to be used in a hurry, but Jiangnan was about 2,000 miles away from the capital.
Among them, the mountains and ravines are steep, and the rivers block the way, which are really far more than 2,000 miles.
What's more, the difficulties and dangers on the road are immeasurable, so you can only use flying pigeons to pass on the book.
Even carrier pigeons have to fly for three days to reach the capital.
The bamboo tube on the pigeon's feet was removed, and the pigeon was fed water and food.
Ming Yan opened the bamboo tube and took a look, and found that it was indeed a map of Linjiang.
"My lord! The news from Jiangnan is coming! ”
The adults said that as long as it is a transmission from Jiangnan, no matter how late it is, you must report it to him immediately.
Mingyan lit all the candles, and the room suddenly lit up a lot.
Gu Chengyu unfolded the note in his hand and found that this was the map of Changtian Mansion.
Changtianfu is close to the lower reaches of the Tianya River, if you say where it is easiest to break the embankment, it is naturally Changtianfu.
Gu Chengyu followed the note, while carefully recalling and comparing the map of the prince's place, and depicted it.
Although what he had seen at the crown prince before was quite detailed, it was by no means as comprehensive as the one he had now.
After all, this one was copied on the spot, and it must be more accurate than the prince's.
The next day, after the dismissal, as soon as Gu Chengyu returned to the mansion, Ming Yan hurriedly entered the study.
"My lord! It's another letter! After a while, Ming Yan came over with a note.
Gu Chengyu thought that this was a map of other state capitals, and hurriedly took it.
When he opened the note, Gu Chengyu's face changed suddenly.
I saw what it said: "The embankment in the lower reaches of Changtianfu burst, flooding several villages, and hundreds of people died in the flood!" ”
There were only a few words, but the content of them shocked Gu Chengyu, but he didn't expect that what he was worried about still happened.
Gu Chengyu frowned and pondered, I don't know if the emperor has gotten any news now.
He had only received the map yesterday, and today the news of the flood came, which showed that the two messages were sent not long apart.
Or because of the delay on the road, although it is a flying pigeon to pass the book, but it will take three or four days.
Maybe the palace has already received the news now, because the prefect of Changtian Mansion should be the first to deliver the news to the capital.
"Prepare the carriage and go to Yin's mansion!" He had to go to Yin's Mansion to inquire about the news, and he couldn't enter the palace at this time.
Because the palace will be locked at the hour, unless the emperor personally summons him, he can't enter at all.
Even if you have a hundred thousand urgent matters, you have to wait for the report.
And Gu Chengyu's grade is low, just go to the palace gate to hand over the sign, those people must also be procrastinating, and they don't have to delay a lot of time.
It's better to let Yin Kun hand over the sign, since this has happened, then naturally we have to send officials to Changtian Mansion to preside over the overall situation.
He was in such a hurry to enter the palace, he just wanted to be worthy of his conscience!
The carriage went to Yin's mansion, but halfway down the road, Gu Chengyu suddenly changed his mind.
"Go to the gate of the palace, I want to hand over the sign into the palace!"
Gu Chengyu's eyes were slight, and it took a lot of trouble to find Yin Kun.
Mingmo drove the carriage to shuttle carefully in the flow of people, and there are many people in Xiafang City now.
After a quarter of an hour, the carriage finally stopped at the palace gate.
As soon as Gu Chengyu waited for the carriage to stop, he jumped out of the carriage.
He took the tooth card in his hand, stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "I'm tired of reporting, this official has something important to tell the emperor!" ”
Seeing this, the two guards guarding the palace gate glanced at each other.
One of them took the tooth card and found that Gu Chengyu, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, was written above, and an official position was written below, which was the Zhan Shifu Mansion.
Gu Chengyu was quite polite to these two people, but don't underestimate these two palace guards.
If you don't have any background, it's not easy to enter this Jingwei Command Envoy.
Although these two are just guards, they are most likely the side children of a family in the capital.
