After the floods in the Shaoyang area last year, the imperial court allocated funds for disaster relief, but the actual amount in the hands of the county guard Deng Zhen was far from enough.

Deng Zhen reflected upward, but was lightly blocked back.

He is not stupid as an official, and after thinking about it like this, he understands that he is tired of it.

Deng Zhen had the heart to report the matter, but the few twists and turns he sent were difficult to listen to. The excerpt was sent out for a long time, but he couldn't wait for a reply from the imperial court, but he waited for a few assassinations and a visit to Shaozhou.

His fold was obviously passed on by bypassing the state capital, why did it fall back into the hands of the assassin?

Deng Zhen's heart sank, I am afraid that this court has been occupied by this gang of moths.

He was terrified, he could not care about his own life, but there were dozens of people in the Deng family, and he had to take care of it.

And this Shaoyang, after the flood, it is the time to use people, money and food, if his parents are gone, how will the people live in the future?

Deng Zhen thought about it, so he had to give in to the other party for the time being, and went to Shaozhou Assassin's Mansion.

The Shaozhou assassin Shiben didn't want to make too much trouble, otherwise the guard of a county would be assassinated and killed, and it would inevitably attract the attention of the imperial court.

Seeing that the other party was interested, he gently turned the page.

In order to envelop Deng Qian, he also gave him a lot of benefits.

Turning his head, Deng Zhen took out all the money to help the people.

After the Shaozhou assassin knew about it, he only smiled sarcastically, as long as this Deng Zhen no longer did useless work, let him stay in this son for the time being.

However, in the past year, Deng Zhen has not been obvious on the surface, but in private he has been more cautious in investigating this matter and recording everything he has mastered.

He thought that when the time came, he would have to risk his life to expose it, and he would inevitably find out these moths of the court.

Which Cheng thought, but the other party was unwilling to stop there.

Due to the drought and then floods last year, although crops were planted in the spring of this year, a locust plague broke out again in the Shaoyang area.

Although the government led the masses to hunt and exterminate locusts, it still had little effect. If this continues, this year's harvest will inevitably plummet.

Deng Zhen couldn't, so he had to go to the court to ask for money again.

Naturally, this piece was sent out early, and in order to prepare for emergencies, the food and money prepared by the imperial court were also allocated early.

It's just that the layers are scraped down, and there is only a layer of fur left.

Deng hated that after nearly a year, he had almost checked the evidence.

In this case, he had to be alone.

As early as the New Year's Festival, the wife of the family took advantage of her mother's illness to return to her hometown to visit relatives, and took several children back to her mother's house in Bozhou, where she has not returned for more than half a year.

This Bozhou belongs to the twelve states of the northern land, and it is under the rule of the king of Zhenbei, and Deng Zhen believes that the hand of Shaozhou Thorn Shi and the people behind him cannot be stretched so long.

When there was corruption again this year, he sent his eldest son to Beijing secretly with the chapter and account books.

Deng Zhen didn't have too many friends in Beijing, and after thinking about it, there was only one He Lingjiang who had a little bit of origin. And he sees him as a person in the world, and he should be honest and credible.

Therefore, he asked Deng Yi to hand over this thing to He Lingjiang, and then asked her to think about it to the sky.

Deng Yi wasn't sure how credible this He Qi Lady was, but at this point, he had to give it a go.

"This is the account book that my father wrote down with all his painstaking efforts, and He Qi Niangzi can take a look."

He Lingjiang stretched out his hand to take it, and then opened the account book to take a closer look.

With the movements of her hands, she couldn't help but sink slightly, even if she expected it, but the huge amount of money and food involved in Shaoyang's corruption, and the number of people, still shocked people's hearts.

Due to the limited amount that Deng Zhen could find, the names of the people involved in the account book, except for the Shaozhou Assassin History, the rest of the official positions were not obvious, but He Ling Jiang knew that there must be someone after him.

And this person must be in a high position in Yingdu, so that he can easily stop Deng Zhi's twists and turns!

He Lingjiang closed the booklet and his eyes sank slightly: "I know about this." After I have consulted with my father, I will give you an answer. ”

She swept over the wounds on Deng Yi's body: "Your trip didn't go well?" ”

Deng Yi brushed the placket on his chest and nodded heavily: "I set off secretly, it was smooth at the beginning, but I could do it halfway, but somehow I leaked my traces and attracted assassination." ”

Speaking of this, he became more and more depressed: "The guards around me are also there to protect me......"

The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became solemn, and He Lingjiang didn't know how to comfort him for a while.

However, since he was assassinated, it means that the matter has been leaked, not only him, but also the Shaoyang County guard Deng Zhen is also very dangerous......

"He Qi Niangzi, you said that my grandfather ......" Deng Yi couldn't help but redden.

He Lingjiang thought about it, and still opened his mouth to persuade: "I had a face-to-face with Deng Junshou last year, and at that time, it seemed that Deng Junshou had a long life, and he would not die for no reason. I think that even if it is dangerous this time, he can turn the situation into a safe ......"

She is a famous Xuanshi in the world, as soon as these words came out, Deng Yi's heart suddenly felt relieved.

"I hope that Grandpa will be safe and sound."

The carriage stopped leisurely in front of He Mansion, and He Ling Jiang ordered someone to take Deng Yi to the guest courtyard to rest, and he went directly to He Xiangshan's courtyard.

He Xiangshan was still in the yamen at this time, and the scholar in front of the door saw her and hurriedly invited her into the study: "Lord Lang Xu will come back soon, if the seventh lady has something, you can wait here first." ”

In this study, everyone who can enter and exit it at will, except for the Song family, is also one of her.

He Lingjiang nodded, and went into the study.

When He Xiangshan came, he saw her holding a booklet and reading it seriously.

He waved away the servants beside him, walked to the throne and sat down: "What is the important matter for Ling Jiang to come today?" ”

"There is indeed something to discuss with Grandpa." He Lingjiang handed the account book to him, and then told him about Shaoyang's affairs one by one.

He Xiangshan frowned slightly after hearing this: "In this way, do you want to listen to the saint?" ”

He Lingjiang nodded: "My daughter has this plan, after all, the Deng father and son came thousands of miles to find each other, for the sake of this matter, I can't ignore it." ”

"It's just ......," she hesitated, "there may be other forces involved in this matter." If my daughter does this, she will inevitably make enemies for our He family again. ”

He Xiangshan couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "If you say that you make enemies, you won't do it?" ”

"Of course not." He Lingjiang shook his head, "Corruption involves a lot of money. It is impossible for a daughter to ignore it, and I believe that Grandpa is the same. It's just, ...... the hell I'm worried about?"

He Xiangshan sighed and smiled helplessly: "I, I know that you won't care." In that case, I'll take care of it. ”
