Chapter Twenty-Five: When the Yellow Sand Is Lonely

Capital City Brocade Song.

"I'm so!" Ji Haide threw Su An's letter to the ground: "That rebel! How can such a thing be done! ”

The eldest son Ji Ziyu, who was standing on the side, looked at his father's appearance and knew that his younger brother must have done something "rebellious" in his father's eyes. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, picked up the letter and read it roughly.

The Ji family has two sons, the eldest son is named Ziyu, the second son is named Ziyan, Ziyu is resourceful, and Ziyan has a style.

This is a limerick poem passed down privately by the noble girl of Xi Kingdom, but it is very consistent. Ji Ziyu's every move has a strong bookish atmosphere, but it is not as rigid as a bookbag, but reveals calm wisdom.

This all-round bearing is absolutely unattainable for ordinary people, and it is no wonder that Ji Ziyu is the dream person of countless noble women of the Xi Kingdom.

After reading the letter, Ji Ziyu saw that his father's mood had calmed down, so he smiled and said, "Congratulations to my father." ”

Ji Haide glared at his eldest son, who was not shocked: "Your younger brother actually launched a mutiny in Taihe County, and such a rebellious thing happened, what is there to congratulate?" ”

Ji Ziyu smiled faintly: "My brother is doing this, which is equivalent to controlling part of the border defense in the northern part of the country." In the current situation of the Wang family, it is not a bad thing for my Ji family to do this. And..."

A glimmer of light flashed in Ji Ziyu's clear eyes: "Even Lord Su supports his younger brother in power, we just need to join forces with Lord Su to make my brother's military power justifiable, and when the time comes, the emperor will be far away, who knows what happened to Taihe County in the past?" ”

Ji Haide sighed when he heard this: "Although there is a gap between my father and Na Su'an, I will not miss a big thing because of this." It's just that Su An was exiled by the saint, and the Ji family cooperated with him, I'm afraid that he will be implicated, right? ”

"Definitely." Ji Ziyu looked at his father with a faint sense of weakness. My father was cautious all his life, but his views on some things were very limited because of this:

"Father might as well think about it, Su Fu said that his house was raided and Su Fu was exiled, but didn't my father feel any difference when he went to raid his house himself? And the 'exiled' Lord Su went to Taihe County to take up a post, isn't there anything strange about this? ”

Ji Haide pondered for a moment, and immediately got up: "For my father, I will enter the palace to face the saint, so that your brother's military power will become justified." ”

Ji Ziyu bowed his head and watched his father leave.

But I never expected that Ji Ziyan's appointment letter had not yet arrived in Taihe County, and a major incident occurred in Taihe County.

The wind is coming!

Taihe County is located in the north, there is no vegetation around the county, in the dry weather of spring, it loves to blow strong winds, and the wind is mixed with sand and dust, every time it is menacing, and often destroys buildings, but it has never been so violent!

The strong wind kicked up a thick layer of sand and dust, rolling up the whirlpool close to Taihe County, unlike the previous destroyed buildings, this time, as long as you get close to the wind, you will be sucked in by the strong whirlpool, and many people have died because of it!

For a time, the people of Taihe County did not dare to go out, so they could only hide in the house. And the homes of those who lost their loved ones, the white flags that were hung were torn apart by the strong wind.

Taihe County is bleak.

"My lord, Captain Ji asks to see you."

Not long after he came to Taihe County, a natural disaster occurred, and as the new county official of Taihe County, Su An paced in the study a little anxiously.

Hearing the sound of the little guy, Su An hurriedly said, "Quickly invite Captain Ji in." ”

Ji Ziyan got permission and strode in.

is different from the eldest brother Ji Ziyu, although Ji Ziyan is also handsome, he has more of a general's style, and his every move is a little more bold and aggressive.

After meeting Su An, Ji Ziyan didn't talk nonsense, and directly surrendered his hand and requested: "I hope that Lord Su can go to the book and ask for disaster relief." ”

Speaking of this, a faint bitterness flashed on Ji Ziyan's face: "After all, my name is not right..."

"I know." Helping Ji Ziyan up, Su An Zhengse said: "Before the disaster relief funds are allocated, we should also discuss how to minimize the losses." ”

The two of them sat down, and you and I discussed it word by word.

"What? There was a natural wind in Taihe County, with heavy losses and casualties? ”

Su Wu looked at Zhili in disbelief: "The news is reliable? ”

Zhili nodded, and quickly added: "Miss Gu also sent news that the master and the lady are fine. ”

"That's good." Su Wu sat down and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss." A trace of hesitation flashed in Zhili's eyes: "Miss Gu also sent someone to say that the Holy Lord already knew about this matter and allocated 100,000 taels of disaster relief funds. However, this amount of money was dispatched by the Wang family, and according to the Wang family's temperament of plucking feathers, I am afraid that when I arrive in Taihe County, there will be little left. ”

After that, Zhili took out a thick account book and presented it: "Miss Gu said that this account book records all the accounts collected by the Wang family and those involved in the Wang family and the ridiculous things they have done. ”

Su Wu's heart sank. How long has it been, Gu Qingge can't hold it anymore, does he want to use this appropriation incident to overthrow the Wang family in one fell swoop?

Taking the thick account book, Su Wan casually flipped through a few pages.

"In March of the seventh year of Jiaxi, Wang Xiao's nephew Wang Zhe received bribes under the pretense of offering a birthday gift for the queen mother."

The name of the official who sent the bribe was written below, and the last line caught Su Wan's attention: "A total of 200,000 taels of silver were bribed." ”

Su Wu couldn't help but gasp.

This natural disaster in Taihe County, the emperor only allocated 100,000 taels of silver, and Wang Xiao's nephew Wang Zhe collected 200,000 taels of dirty money at one time!

Su Wan continued to look down:

"In the first month of the eighth year of Jiaxi, Wang Yin, a disciple of the Wang family, was ordered to pay tribute to Huaguo, but he paid tribute privately."

The names of the embezzled tributes are then listed below.

"In August of the eighth year of Jiaxi, the sister-in-law of Mrs. Youxiang robbed the people's daughter, but the woman did not obey and was destroyed."

Written below is the woman's name and the woman's family.

There are even murders!

The more Su Wu looked at it, the more frightened she became, and when she closed the account book, she felt that the account book in her hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

In order to make his knife sharper, Gu Qingge really had nothing to do, and even dared to take such a secret thing to himself.

Thinking of her parents who were far away in Taihe County, Su Wu frowned slightly.

knew that the disaster relief money would be embezzled, which would inevitably affect the lives of his parents, but he could only watch this scene happen, and he had to take advantage of it!

I feel that I am really unfilial...

Youyou sighed, thinking that it would take a while for the Wang family to be greedy for disaster relief, Su Wan looked at the dazzling account book in her hand, and suddenly her heart moved.

In the blink of an eye, dusk fell.

Zhili looked at Su Wu in the room, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.

It has been four hours since Miss Morning received the account book given by Miss Gu, and she has not even eaten during this period.

Zhili hesitated, whether to go in and persuade the young lady to rest, so he listened to Su Wan's call: "Zhili." ”

Zhili hurriedly walked in.

Su Wu got up, put away the thick stack of things on the table, and said, "Accompany me to the Heavenly Book Pavilion." ”
