The sun shines on the boats on the river, and also shines on the glorious palace, and the bright yellow palace looks more magnificent, and the momentum is compelling, sweeping away the gloom that has been stored for a long time.

Gonggong Lin was lying in the yard again, enjoying the summer sunshine, feeling full of energy, he liked spring, summer, and sunshine.

I took a sip of tea comfortably, put the teacup on the desk, picked up the file and looked at it carefully, looked at it, got tired, and fell asleep unconsciously.

Bai Gonggong walked slowly, walked to Lin Gonggong, looked at him, couldn't help shaking his head, and signaled, a little eunuch came over quietly, moved a chaise longue, and then brought a teacup and teapot.

Father-in-law Bai sat down, took a sip of water in the same comfort, and looked up at the sky, the bright sunlight was dazzling. He couldn't help but squint his eyes, and wondered again in his heart, why this Lin Gong Guild liked this, what was so comfortable about it.

I picked up the file on the coffee table, looked at it a few times, and then became serious.

"When did this arrive?"

"Just arrived. Father-in-law Lin replied with his eyes closed, and Father-in-law Bai smiled: "You are not asleep." ”

"Sleeping in the spring is the wish of my life, but it's a pity,... , alas, I can't sleep!" Gonggong Lin sighed, looked at the emerald green on his head, and sighed faintly: "The trees want to be quiet, the wind does not stop!

Bai Gonggong nodded: "Assassinate Feng Xiao and provoke the Dongying people;

"Liu Han has made a great contribution this time," Lin Gonggong said with his eyes closed: "If he hadn't dealt with it properly, I'm afraid that Jiangnan would have been in chaos, and the new tax system would be terminated immediately. ”

"Who did it? Did Liu Han catch the murderer?" Bai Gonggong hurriedly flipped through the file.

"Alas, this is the only fly in the ointment," Lin Gonggong was expressionless: "He sent someone to follow, but he lost it." ”

"Is it really lost?" Bai Gonggong frowned and asked, after being here for a long time, it is natural to have a question mark on everything, and to question everything at first.

Gonggong Lin did not answer, his silence was an attitude.

Bai Gonggong flipped through a few pages and took out a page, which recorded Liu Han's whereabouts and remarks these days.

"He's got one of our people around him?"

"This is nature," Gonggong Lin's voice was a little floating: "After all, this Liu Han's origin is not clear, and before he completely understands his origin, the necessary precautions are still needed." ”

Father-in-law Bai nodded slightly, and Father-in-law Lin's voice floated again: "However, with Liu Han's shrewdness, I'm afraid I guessed it." ”

Father-in-law Bai nodded again, and couldn't help but feel some doubts in his heart.

However, judging from his actions in Jiangnan, this person is still loyal to the imperial court, but there are still some doubts. Lin Gonggong said.

"Oh, what are those things?" asked Grandpa Bai.

"No," Gonggong Lin shook his head slightly: "There are some things that we have to look at again." ”

"Since there are still doubts, you dare to hand over the tiger guard to him?" asked Bai Gonggong puzzled.

"Since there is a suspicion, it is better to put it by your side and stare carefully than to put it far away. Father-in-law Lin said slowly.

Bai Gonggong nodded again, and the secret report recorded Liu Han's words and deeds very clearly, what he did, what he said, what decisions he made, and even the two great masters who came to Yangzhou together.

Gonggong Bai carefully read the file again, and he was still puzzled in his heart, he did not see any doubts, in Yangzhou, he got along very well with Gu Wei, and did not fight for power at all; in the case of handling the Tianning Grain Warehouse, he rushed to attack Wu County overnight, both in terms of means and thoroughness, which was commendable, so what are the doubts? He didn't even have a full pocket, he was actually a clean official and a capable official.

A big case like this is a fat shortage, and if the officials handling the case do not take the opportunity to loot, based on the knowledge of Bai Gonggong, there is almost no such thing.

Bai Gonggong turned his head to look at Lin Gonggong, Lin Gonggong seemed to be asleep, he wanted to speak and stopped, and finally sighed softly, put the file down, and leaned back in the chair.

seemed to be asleep, suddenly felt that there was movement around him, and hurriedly opened his eyes, Maizi was saying something, seeing him wake up, Lin Gonggong smiled: "Let him be quiet, I didn't expect it to disturb you." ”

Father-in-law Bai rubbed his eyes, Wheat hurriedly waved his hand, a little eunuch quickly sent warm water and towels, Father-in-law Bai wiped his face, looked up at Father-in-law Lin and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect to fall asleep." ”

"Spring sleep is difficult, human nature," Lin Gonggong smiled slightly: "It's just right, let's talk about the next arrangement, wheat, send a message to Jiangnan, let Liu Han send back the stolen goods and money as soon as possible, and those fields and manors will be turned into silver as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, with this silver, the court has passed. Bai Gonggong breathed a sigh of relief, a great victory outside the Saiwai, a reward promised by the imperial court, but the imperial treasury was empty, and he couldn't take out this silver at all, so he had to rely on this raid to fill the deficit.

Gonggong Lin also nodded, get through this pass, the court can have a comfortable life, Gonggong Lin drank two sips of tea, looked up at Gonggong Bai and said, "Sheng Huai's matter can be solved." ”

"It's been suppressed for so long, the time has come?" Bai Gonggong was a little puzzled, Sheng Huai's case had been under control, and the Tingwei Mansion had passed two sessions, and then it was suppressed and not allowed to be retried.

"Wheat, tell me about the new news. Lin Gonggong said, and Maizi stepped forward: "Ancestor, I just received the news that Sheng Huai's mother died, but Sheng Huai did not report it. ”

Bai Gonggong was stunned at first, and then woke up: "Hide your mother's funeral! This is a big unfilial piety." ”

Hiding the funeral and not reporting it is a big crime in the Great Jin, not only will you be dismissed from office, you will be ruined, you will also be despised by Shilin, and your descendants will not be able to raise their heads because of this.

"How do you know?" Bai Gonggong asked in wonder, "Could it be that there is still eyeliner in Sheng Huai's house?"

Although Sheng Huai is a feudal official, he has not yet reached the level of specially deploying eyeliner.

"It was found in Yuzhou, Sheng's mother fell ill a few months ago, and died not long ago, and the coffin is still at home and has not been buried. ”

Father-in-law Bai frowned: "There is no evidence for this, but it can't be done." ”

"Back to the ancestors, this matter has been confirmed, Yuzhou secretly arrested the Sheng family, Sheng Huai's mother has been dead for more than a month, sent a letter to Sheng Huai, Sheng Huai replied to let the secret not mourn, this letter, Yuzhou has been obtained, is being sent to Beijing. Wheat replied.

Gonggong Bai was relieved at this time, and nodded with satisfaction: "This is heaven helping the court, this Sheng Huai is working against the court, hmph, Pan Lian can't protect him now." ”

Father-in-law Lin lay down again, the recliner was changed to a rocking chair at some point, he lay on the rocking chair, swaying gently, and his expression was very comfortable.

"Sheng Huai's case, will Pan Lian be implicated?" asked Bai Gonggong in a low voice.

Gonggong Lin didn't answer, and Maizi didn't dare to speak, Gonggong Bai smiled bitterly, this action has shown that even if Sheng Huai falls, Pan Lian is still as safe as Mount Tai.

If you want to bring down Pan Lian, it is absolutely not possible to rely on one Sheng Huai, and it can even be said that as long as the Queen Mother does not die, Pan Lian will not fall.

Wheat retreated silently, and he had to arrange the rest, and tomorrow there will be a royal historian in the court to impeach Sheng Huai and not report it.

Bai Gonggong looked around, fortunately, except for Maizi and Lin Gonggong, no one else heard his words, in the palace, not everything can be said, how did he make such a mistake.

Lying on the chair, Bai Gonggong felt that the sunshine was really comfortable.

But as soon as he lay down, a little eunuch came over to deliver the decree, asking Gonggong Lin to go to Shuxiangzhai immediately to see the driver.

Shuxiangzhai, is an elegant garden in the palace, every summer, the garden is splendid, the grass and trees are flourishing, the rockery is flowing water, the garden is cool, it is a good place to escape the heat.

When Emperor Taiding, if he didn't go to Hanshan to escape the summer, he would stay here, but he didn't come here for a few years when he was seriously ill.

In the first two years, the emperor didn't have the heart to avoid any heat, but this year he somehow remembered this garden and moved over.

Gonggong Huang, who was standing at the door, gave Gonggong Lin a look, and then let the two of them in.

In the room, the emperor sat cross-legged on the kang, with two piles of music neatly stacked on the bookcase in front of him, and Zhang Mengpan stood on the side in a regular manner.

Looking up and seeing Gonggong Lin and the others coming in, the emperor put down his pen and asked Wen Yan: "Jiangnan's Sheng Huai is sparse, impeached Liu Han, borrowed the case of the grain depot, wantonly arrested good people, and disturbed the place, Jiangnan is now in a depressed market, and the people's sentiment is turbulent, you can take a look." ”

As he spoke, the emperor threw a piece of music in front of the two of them, and Gonggong Lin silently picked up the music and opened it to read it carefully.

After reading, he handed over the song to Gonggong Bai, and then bowed down and said: "Back to the emperor, Sheng Huai is full of untruths, as far as the slaves know, the people arrested by Liu Han in Yangzhou were arrested according to the list given by the imperial court, and there was no expansion, and Wei Zhen, the transfer envoy of Yangzhou arrest, also confessed a lot of people, Liu Han caught some of them, and a few were not arrested. ”

"Didn't catch it? why?" The emperor frowned, and his face showed anger: "Did you accept other people's money and deliberately indulge!"

"This, he didn't dare. Gonggong Lin replied calmly: "If it is indulgence, he will not report to the palace," after a pause, he said: "This grain storage case, the most serious is the Yangzhou transfer warehouse, Wei Zhen has been in Yangzhou for ten years, is Tian Ning's cronies, after he committed the crime, Yangzhou involved many people, including cotton shops, silk shops, salt shops, jewelry shops, etc., even the Shi clan is no exception, including the Lu family, the Yu family, the Zhang family, all have to be arrested.

If this is the case, the whole Yangzhou will be paralyzed, so Liu Han decided not to investigate Lu Yuzhang and other scholars, but to fine, and arrest all the simple merchants, especially the several merchants involved in the huge amount of money.

If Lu Yuzhang is not arrested, it is to stabilize Jiangnan, Liu Han thinks that Lu Yuzhang and these families have deep roots in Jiangnan, as long as these three families do not have problems, Jiangnan will not be chaotic.

It is precisely for this reason that in Wu County, he let go of the Zhou family and the Gu family, Jiangnan will be intertwined in Wu County, and almost all the people in Wu County will be implicated.

The slave thought that Liu Han's handling of Wei Zhen's case this time was very proper, and he did not cause too much trouble. ”

When the emperor heard this, he turned his eyes to look at Pan Lian: "Pan Qing heard it, Sheng Huai is just alarmist and exaggerated, if Jiangnan is in chaos, why didn't Gu Wei report it, such an obvious thing, I didn't see it?!"

Pan Lian felt bitter in his heart, sighed softly, and looked up at the emperor: "Minister, old, alas!"
