Just half a year before the second five years were coming, a letter carrying Luo Zhizhou's five years of filial piety was finally delivered to Luo Zhizhou.

Although you are far away, I have always remembered your wishes. When the time has not come, don't act rashly. Now coincides with the stability of the situation, and the five-year debriefing is imminent, I deeply feel that if you can always accompany the king's side, you will be able to share the worries of the king and become the pillar of the country.

The letter doesn't seem to promise anything.

But when Luo Zhizhou received this letter, his hands suddenly began to tremble violently, and Douda's tears fell one after another on the crumpled letterhead.

He Luo Minxing can finally return to Yudu and face a new life in the approaching year.

Since the day of the fight, Luo Zhizhou has left all the affairs of Wuzhou to his subordinates, and basically does not ask, but is busy cleaning up the family property he has accumulated in Wuzhou in the past ten years.

finally returned to Yudu, and Xiang Ye naturally had to pay respects.

In addition to this, there are also relationships that need to be re-touched.

After such a rough calculation, and then removing the cost of settling down in Yudu again, there is not much left of the family property he has accumulated in Wuzhou over the years.

His heart hurt like blood, but he couldn't save a penny of the money.

So he sold everything he couldn't take away into cash, and just waited for the day to come and set off for Yudu.

But seeing that all this has come to fruition, it is just a foot away, and the cooked duck has already reached the mouth, and it actually flew out again.

That year, Emperor Jing's old injury recurred, and he was bedridden, so he only appointed the Zhizhou Huiyu of Suzhou and Quanzhou to report on his work, and was received by the second prince.

This will is like a thunderbolt on a sunny day and snow in May for Luo Zhizhou.

But what else could he do?

Seeing that he is almost at the age of not being confused, the champion of the same department who stayed in Yudu back then has already served as a servant of the imperial history platform, and the list of eyes has just been promoted to the servant of the ministry a year ago, but he is still the Luo Zhizhou ten years ago.

In the next five years, he will not be confused by more than four, and will go to know the destiny of heaven.

At that time, even if you transfer back to Yudu, how interesting will it be?

Although he can't compare with Xiangye, does he want to let him return to Yudu in the year of knowing the destiny of heaven to be a petty official who waits for the Buddhas?

Think about it again when he left Yudu, except for those few old ministers who were standing tall, most of the rest were not confused.

But what about him, even if he goes, he can't go to the inner hall, at most he is just a five-grade petty official who listens to propaganda outside the hall.

It's better to stay in Wuzhou like this, just the annual tax can have a lot of silver, and it is also a party to the state, and it is also the master of Wuzhou.

Since then, he has almost stopped thinking about returning to Yudu, and his subordinates have become even more unscrupulous.

Originally, he was still looking forward to returning to Yudu one day, but he didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

So he didn't dare to make much moves, except for the money sent to the Ye Mansion every year, and then saved a few points, and finally saved a lot of money.

But seeing that Yu Du can't go back, and his unsuccessful sons are getting bigger and bigger, he has to plan for himself, and when he returns to his hometown in the future, he can also be a comfortable squire to take care of his old age.

So since then, Luo Zhizhou has begun to collect money unscrupulously.

Within a few years, his people became more and more mellow, and his family background also jumped up exponentially.

The only thing that remains unchanged is the treasure that is sent to Yefu every year.

It's just that in the past, it was to return to Yudu, but now it is to be able to survive peacefully until the time to return to his hometown.

"So you came here just for this Luo Zhizhou?"

He roughly told the story of Luo Zhizhou, but Yue felt a little incredible after listening to it.

To put it bluntly, this Luo Zhizhou is just a corrupt official, who can come in person after working thousands of miles away, and he also used Niu Zhong to do his work on him in advance.

"Luo Minxing is naturally not worthy of letting me do it personally, but the string of moths behind him, as well as the silver he has swallowed over the years, I want him to spit out a lot of it for me."

As she spoke, her tone became more and more ruthless, and it seemed that things were really not as simple as she imagined.

It seems that Wuzhou is really about to change.

"That ... How much silver did Luo Zhizhou swallow to make you angry like this? ”

"Huh."

He tugged at the corners of his mouth, smiled coldly, and then continued.

"Luo Minxing's small treasury, I'm afraid it's about to catch up with the size of the national treasury."

"What?! How could a small Zhizhou gather so much silver?! ”

"Oh, Wuzhou was originally a place of good weather and abundance. But in the hands of Luo Zhizhou, it has become a place where natural disasters occur every year and the people are struggling to make a living. The imperial court not only reduced taxes every year, but also allocated funds for disaster relief several times, but the people were still poor and could not even afford to eat. So where did all this food and money go? ”

"You mean ... All that money went into Luo Zhizhou's hands?! ”

He relied on the high ground and the height of Wuzhou, and it was difficult for the court to take care of it, and he had almost become the emperor of Wuzhou. The imperial court decreed that Wuzhou's taxes should be reduced and reduced every year, but when it reached the ears of the people, the taxes not only did not reduce or exempt, but doubled. Not only that, Luo Minhang also lied about the disaster every year and defrauded the imperial court of disaster relief funds. Taxes, plus disaster relief funds, not only Luo Minhang, but also this group of damn moths in Wuzhou, I will never let them continue to do whatever they want. ”

"But... Didn't any news leak out before? Since the imperial court is allocating disaster relief funds every year, there are always people watching the whereabouts of the silver and grain, how is it possible... ”

Yue seemed to be a little hesitant, but she really didn't understand how they did it, such a big thing could be concealed.

"Yes, there are people watching. Such a good thing as disaster relief, which time did Ye Shuoguang fall. Just send a few cronies over for a walk, and a large amount of disaster relief money will fall into his hands. When I returned to the imperial court, I didn't tell the truth, but every year I said that Wuzhou was hard, and Luo Minxing, the governor of the state, was not easy, and there was hard work without merit, should I give him a liter as appropriate. Fortunately, my father has always had reservations about Luo Minxing, and later Ye Shuoguang always spoke for him, so my father was even more disliked, so he never agreed to this matter. ”

As he spoke, he had a sarcastic smile on his face.

If Luo Minxing knew that he had been thinking about it for so many years, and that he had cut off all possibilities many years ago, would he regret that he had chosen the big tree of Ye Xiang in the first place?

"So, Your Majesty already knows about Wuzhou?"

Yue originally wanted to say that since he had known it for a long time, why would he let Luo Minxing be arrogant so far, but when he heard her question, he shook his head.

"My father didn't know about Wuzhou. It's just that many years ago, when Luo Minxing was named on the gold list, his father saw that this person was so happy and complacent, but he was just sorry that he was young and full of wealth, but he was also a manufacturable material, so he sent him to Wuzhou. I thought that he would be able to exercise outside for a few years, and if he could grow, he would be transferred back to Yudu to be reused. But in those years, the court was turbulent, so naturally he couldn't take care of him. Later, he threw himself under Ye Shuoguang, and his father was originally hindered by Ye Shuoguang's face, and promised to let him return to Yudu to make up for his idle position. But before the will was made, I heard a lot of rumors. This time, his father was even more displeased, and naturally he had no intention of letting him return to Yudu. ”

"So in this case, in fact, Your Majesty can't be regarded as ignorant of the affairs of Wuzhou?"

"I heard some rumors, but firstly, there was no evidence, and secondly, it hindered Ye Shuoguang's face, so I turned a blind eye. Unexpectedly, Luo Minxing not only didn't know how to restrain, but was so mad. If Niu Chong hadn't ventured to Yudu to see me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known that the matter in Wuzhou had reached such a serious level. ”

"That cow weighs it...

"Niu Zhong is the magistrate of Mo County, a subordinate county of Wuzhou, although he is unwilling to join the same stream with Luo Minxing, but he has been swallowing his anger, until a year ago, Luo Minhang increased taxes again, and the people of Mo County have reached the point where they are hungry and the people are not able to make a living, so he secretly went to Yudu to ask to see me."

"So you were planning this a year ago?"

"It's really easy to get Luo Min to die, but his life is not worth mentioning in the first place. I want to slay all the damned moths behind him, and the money they swallowed, and I have to spit it out in its original form. Therefore, he must die in a famous and prestigious manner, and he must also confirm the name of this big corrupt official in order to truly achieve my goal. ”

"So you have to get the list and ledger in Niu Chong's hands?"

"Yes, it's a pity that I'm still too late after all, and I was imprisoned by Luo Minxing first."

"But since Luo Minxing knew that Niu Chong had something in his hands that wanted his life, why didn't he just snatch it, but instead imprisoned Niu Chong's father?"

He suddenly sneered, and a look of contempt flashed in his eyes.

"Luo Minxing's courage is very big, but his brain is not so bright. He probably thought that Niu Zhong was secretly collecting these things for self-preservation. Rabbits will jump over the wall when they are in a hurry, not to mention that Niu Zhong is such a big living person. And Niu Zhong has always been filial, if he forces Niu Chong to be anxious, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not do anything that will hurt both sides and break the net. That's why he imprisoned Niu Chong's father, ostensibly taking good care of the old man, but in fact, it was to contain Niu Chong. In this way, he not only lost a good reputation of being compassionate to his subordinates and being kind-hearted, but also made Niu Zhong dare not act rashly. ”

"So he still doesn't know that Niu Zhong is just succumbing to him on the surface, but he is actually doing things for you?"
