In the last book, it was mentioned that the granary was stolen, and King Jing wrote a letter back to Beijing to ask for help.

Du Tianxiang said with a worried face: "Today's fiftieth birthday, King Han is wantonly manipulating, the treasury is empty, even if I intend to solve this dilemma, I estimate that there is not much money and food to the second brother." Since the second brother sent us a secret letter, I am afraid that he wants us to find a way. ”

Xu Hongyuan nodded and said, "Tianxiang is right. The birthday is imminent, and the second brother will not return one day outside, and there will be one more change in Beijing, and the money and food will not be too late as soon as possible. I don't have it next to me, there are nearly a million taels of silver, and it's useless to put it on my body, so let's relieve the second brother's burning eyebrows. ”

Xiao Han shook his head and said: "Money is important, but the most important thing is food, although I can let those few families raise food, how to transport it to Huguang is a problem, the capital is from Huguang even if it is a fast horse, it will take twenty days, not to mention the transportation of grain, far water can not quench the thirst of the near." ”

Du Tianxiang glanced at Xu Hongyuan and sighed in a low voice: "I took the silver to buy grain locally, what do you think of Xiaohan?" ”

Xiao Han still shook his head and said: "Huguang and Guangxi have been hit by disasters, if there is food, why bother the second brother to write to us, I am afraid that the surrounding provincial capitals will also be empty." ”

Du Tianxiang's face changed, and he said worriedly: "How is this good, Xiaohan, think of a way." ”

Update 49 Prevention before Xiao Han's eyes darkened, shook his head, and did not speak.

Xu Hongyuan frowned and said: "It's really not good, I can only send people to collect grain on the road while going south." ”

"No, it's a longer delay. If King Han intends to make things difficult, with just a few messages, our people will not receive a single piece of food. ”

Du Tianxiang sighed: "Without the follow-up food, the efforts in front of us will be wasted." A gentleman is a promise, and he is a lot of money. The second brother threw out the words, this will be the granary without food, and a few people can believe it, but they will only think that it is a trick of the officials to fool people. ”

Xiao Han continued: "In this way, it will be a great disadvantage to the second brother. ”

Xu Hongyuan put the teacup on a few legs, and sighed heavily: "I knew this was the case, we would have stocked up on some grain this summer, the wind and rain in the south this summer will be smooth, the grain will be harvested, and the price will not be expensive." ”

Du Tianxiang blatantly rolled his eyes at him, and said in his heart, isn't this nonsense.

For a while, everyone in the room was calm and silent.

……

Xin Yao, who had not spoken for a long time, sighed lightly and said, "I have grain in the south. ”

Du Tianxiang thought it was wrong, and said casually: "Cousin-in-law, how much food you can have, it's just one or two Zhuangzi to marry, and it's not worth it." ”

Update 49 Prevention before it happens, Jiang Xinyao said quietly: "I don't know the specifics, but last year I asked Fu Bo to buy three or four Zhuangzi in the south, plus the two Zhuangzi to marry, a total of five or six." First, I also asked my maid Dongmei to buy three or four Zhuangzi in the south for me, about 40,000 or 60,000 acres of land. ”

Xin Yao swallowed her saliva and continued: "What is planted is grain. ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Han's eyes.

Du Tianxiang's face was overjoyed, and he immediately jumped up: "How many?" ”

Jiang Xinyao hurriedly said: "I guess I can reach three or four granaries!" ”

Du Tianxiang was dumbfounded and said, "What are you buying so many Zhuangzi for?" ”

Xu Hongyuan echoed casually: "What are you doing with growing so much food?" ”

Xiao Han glanced at Xin Yao deeply, there was a slight wave in his eyes, and he did not speak.

Jiang Xinyao's face turned red, and she said unnaturally: "I grew up in the south since I was a child, and I like to eat rice in the south the most, so I think that the money is also put away, I bought land, I bought Zhuangzi, I am a landlord's wife, I have more food, and I will not be hungry in the future." ”

Xin Yao said that, seeing the three of them looking at her in disbelief, she fell to her feet and sighed: "The first Zhuangzi, I can't give birth to a silver because I put the silver in my hand, so I asked Dongmei to buy some Zhuangzi to make a living." Fu Bo's Zhuangzi, originally I saw King Han's people collecting grain everywhere, and I was anxious, I was afraid that the war would start and prevent it from happening, so I followed the trend and asked Fu Bo to buy Zhuangzi and plant grain. I'm thinking that one day, if the world turns upside down in this capital, there is no way for us to go, and everyone will not be left without a way to live. ”

… Du Tianxiang took a long breath and said: "Cousin-in-law, you think so far, you haven't handed it over yet, you are even ready to make a backhand, admire and admire." ”

Jiang Xinyao's eyes saw Xiao Han's uncertain face in the corner of her eyes, and she said a little weakly: "Hmph! Thankfully, I had the foresight to find food otherwise! ”

Xu Hongyuan said with a smile: "This is really a solution to the urgent need, Xiao Han, what do you think of the scheduling method?" Xiaohan? Xiao Han ......"

Xiao Han came back to his senses and immediately said, "Yaoyao hurriedly wrote a letter to Fu Bo and Dongmei, and the secret guard set off immediately. The grain in the south can allow the second brother to hold on for a while, and I will dispatch the grain in the capital, and then follow up. asked someone to summon the second brother and sent troops and horses to answer it. ”

Du Tianxiang said gloomily: "Jiangnan is the territory of King Han, and I am afraid that such a big movement of grain transportation will startle the grass and snakes, if King Han knows, he would rather burn it than let the grain be transported to the south to solve the second brother's urgency." ”

Xiao Han nodded and said: "The prefect of Suzhou Mansion is the second master of the Shen family, this matter needs to be discussed with the old fox, don't hesitate, I'll go to Shen Mansion first." Ah Yuan, you can do the food raising business. Tianxiang, the palace will not be peaceful these days, you stare at some, the grain is out of Beijing, you need to order it today, and the king of Han will not dare to do it, and this matter will be handed over to you. Yaoyao, how much cash does Qingfeng Hall have? ”

Jiang Xinyao lowered her eyelids and said, "Two million and seven hundred thousand taels, within two hours, I will raise three million taels." Send for it. ”

Xiao Han looked at Xin Yao quietly for a long time, with a trace of sadness in his eyes, and after a long time, he nodded and turned away.

After Xin Yao waited for the people to leave, she sat down in the chair, and sighed softly for a while: "With his cleverness, I'm afraid he can't hide it." ”

Jiang Xinyao, Jiang Xinyao, you shouldn't expose your family background, you should hide it.

Xin Yao supported her forehead with her hand, and her eyes darkened deeply.

The hole cards are exposed, this game of cards, it's not easy to play......"

At the time, four fast horses took advantage of the night to leave Beijing one after another.

This night, the man did not return home, Xin Yao touched the cold half of the bed, and sighed slightly in her heart.

……

The next morning, the emperor changed his gentle face in the past, and as soon as he sat down, he gently brushed the fine tea cup handed by the chamberlain, and the tea cup fell to the ground, and shattered in response, and all the officials in the palace secretly said that it was not good.

Sure enough, the chamberlain read out King Jing's 800-mile urgent secret recital, in which he clearly explained how Su Mingjie and the officials of Huguang and Huguang colluded with each other to embezzle money for disaster relief and silver, so that the people of hunger rebelled.

At the end, it is also known as Guangxi Jingnei, the granaries are empty, the granaries are empty, the village marries are not harvested, the people are displaced, they are starving to death, and even the tragedy of cannibalism occurs. The government refused to provide relief, and still demanded rent and forced taxes.

As soon as this secret recital was read, I saw Su Mingjie's face pale, his body shaking slightly, and the large particles of cold sweat falling to the ground.

His father, Su Kangping, looked at his nose and his nose, and his nose looked at his heart, not saying a word, but his heartbeat was like a drum.

Before the emperor spoke, he saw the Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the three masters of the Criminal Department came out one after another, saying that Shen Jun's ten-year account book had been recruited by the three divisions overnight to recruit hundreds of account inspection masters, and they had been verifying it for a day and a night, and they had been verifying without sleep. This is only the account book of Huguang for ten years, and if we want to further verify other provincial capitals, we need to check all the account books of the household department over the years.

The huge number made everyone's face change, and Sun Kai, the head of the household, knelt on the ground, shouting injustice again and again, claiming that King Jing was in order to eradicate his political enemies, so he announced his personal vendetta and slandered him. Seeing this, several officials of the household department echoed one after another, and the spearhead was unanimously pointed at King Jing.

But seeing that Shi Jie, the secretary of the Ministry of War, said coldly: "King Jing is far away in Huguang, and the affairs in Beijing are beyond the reach of the whip, and Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Criminal Department jointly check the accounts, it is difficult to do it, and even these three divisions have been returned to King Jing's door." ”

… As we all know, when the Empress Dowager was there, in addition to the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were all under the control of the Empress Dowager; After the death of the Queen Mother, these people were naturally taken over by the King of Han, and they obeyed the orders of the King of Han.

Sun Kai couldn't answer for a while, so he had to secretly cast his eyes on the silent King Han, but when he saw King Han's eyes half-closed and his face uncertain, he was immediately disheartened, and he fell to the ground in the dark.

The Emperor slowly got up, grief in his eyes.

"I have been on the throne for 26 years, although I am not a great talent, I have worked hard to make the country prosperous, and I am diligent in the people, but I also ask myself about food and clothing, I am diligent and pragmatic, conscientious, and dare not slack off for a day. However, my sons and courtiers do not show favoritism, do not avoid the powerful, do not sell their reputation, do not bend the law with corruption, and are honest and honest? ”

The ministers knelt down one after another and bowed to the ground.

"I am not the king of the country, but the minister is the minister of the country, and if the corrupt officials are not removed, the country will not be a country. Today, if I tolerate and nurture traitors, let them go, ignore the safety of the people, and ignore the society of the country, what face will he have to see his ancestors underground. ”

The ministers bowed three times and shouted: "Long live the emperor!" ”

The emperor's eyes swept over everyone sharply, and he said loudly: "Come on, take off the official hat of Su Mingjie in the Hubu Langzhong and Sun Kai, the Shangshu of the Hubu, and throw them into prison." Su Kangping, the secretary of the ministry, handed over the official seal, and made a decision when the matter was verified. If any of the officials in the lake are corrupt and pervert the law, they will be severely punished.

Lord Zhang, you have gone through two dynasties, for the official upright, the first emperor once praised you as a generation of loyal ministers, among the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, you are the oldest, this matter, by you led the three divisions to investigate thoroughly, the most able to convince the public.

Zhang Hua raised his head, his eyes were like torches, and he said with a full heart: "The minister's order!" ”

The emperor's gaze fell on Sun Kai, who was slumped to the ground, and after a while, his tone changed, and he said angrily: "Check, check it for me." I'm here to see who has the guts. ”

The Son of Heaven was furious, ambushed millions of corpses, and bled for thousands of miles.

In one day, the imprisonment of Sun Kai, the third master of the Su family, shook the officialdom of the capital, and the officials who were very close to Sun Kai and Su Mingjie were in danger, 1152 (Miss Jiang Si.. /0/602/)--
