Si Chen was brought in by the guards from the back door of the Zhenguo Mansion.

He has been to the Zhenguo Mansion twice, so he has an impression of the Zhenguo Mansion.

The guards took him to a courtyard and told him to wait in the courtyard, and after about half an hour, one of the attendants came over and said that the master wanted to see him.

Si Chen stood up, and his mood unconsciously became nervous.

The attendant led him to a small courtyard in the front yard, "The lord is in the house, son, let's go in." ”

The attendant pushed open the door and motioned for him to enter.

Si Chen didn't think much about it and walked in.

As soon as he walked in, there was no one in the room, and when Si Chen was curious, there was a slight movement behind an eight-open screen in the room.

Confused, Si Chen heard a slightly low voice from behind the screen, "Why do you want to see me?" ”

The voice was very low, and there was a hint of hoarseness that made Si Chen's eyes flash a trace of doubt, "Grandpa Guo is infected with the wind cold?" ”

"Ahem."

There was a slight coughing sound from behind the screen, which was considered to be a response to Si Chen's question.

Si Chen's eyes were full of concern, "It's winter now, Grandpa Guo should pay attention to his body." ”

"Yes."

Si Chen's fists in his sleeves clenched slightly, and he was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Xiaguan boldly intercepted Grandpa Guo today, because he wanted to report Ma Zhi, the county official of Qingyang County, Kuncheng, to Grandpa Guo. ”

"What are you going to report him?"

"After the lower officials found out that he had discovered gold mines in Qingyang County, he concealed them and did not report them to the imperial court, mined the gold mines privately, and even murdered all the insiders."

When Si Chen's words fell, the room fell into an eerie silence, so quiet that Si Chen could only hear his own heartbeat beating wildly.

I don't know how long it took, but the person behind the screen said in a deep voice: "How did you learn about this?" ”

"Returning to China, Xiaguan is the county magistrate of Sheephorn County, which is adjacent to Kuncheng and Qingyang County, after the ground moved, Xiaguan immediately launched a disaster relief operation for the people, but because of the distance between the location, Sheephorn County was affected relatively little, and soon, the people of Sheephorn County were properly resettled."

Si Chen paused before continuing: "After properly arranging the affairs of Sheephorn County, Xia Guan took people to Qingyang County to help, but overheard Ma Zhi's conversation with his cronies. ”

"After the earthquake occurred in Kuncheng, the emperor immediately sent people to Kuncheng to carry out disaster relief operations, why didn't you explain the situation to these officials sent by the emperor? And the city guard of Kuncheng, can you tell him about this? ”

Si Chen didn't know what to think, and his eyes gradually turned scarlet.

"Returning to China, after Xia Guan found out that something was wrong, he immediately found the city guard of Kuncheng and asked him to take care of this matter, he obviously agreed, and let Xia Guan go back to manage other things in Giethoorn County without worrying, but not long after Xia Guan returned to Giethoorn County, there were many accidents in a row, and Xia Guan's sister was also lost."

One day, Si Chen received a letter, and the person who wrote the letter threatened him to let him rot the gold mine matter in his stomach, and if he dared to mention this matter again, he would let his sister and all his family members die without a place to be buried!

Si Chen was angry in his heart, he had never mentioned this matter to anyone except to inform the city guards of Kuncheng, and now that the matter had been leaked, he suspected that there was something wrong with the city guards of Kuncheng.

Almost all of the people sent by the imperial court to Kuncheng for disaster relief were with the city, and he didn't dare to gamble anymore, not only worried about the safety of his family, but also worried that he would be secretly solved by these people, and no one would know about the gold mine anymore.

"Xiaguan pretended to promise them on the surface and let them let go of his sister, but the other party was very cunning and never handed over Xiaguan's sister, and even Xiaguan's mother almost had an accident on the street."

At this point, he also realized that even if he was really willing to let this matter rot in his stomach, those people would definitely not let him go.

So when those people relaxed their vigilance, he settled his parents at home, and then disguised himself in Beijing, but he was still discovered by the other party, and sent people to chase and kill him all the way, if he hadn't been lucky, he hid in a caravan to the capital, he would have confessed on the way.

Hearing about the queen in advance, he also wanted to go to find the queen, but in the end he still felt that the queen was the master of the middle palace, this was a matter of the previous dynasty, she couldn't stretch out such a long hand, so she could only give up, and if she didn't give up, he couldn't do it, after all, the queen was not what he wanted to see.

"It's really good that the lower officials can meet Grandpa Guo, and I ask Grandpa Guo to bring this matter to the emperor, and those people must not be allowed to covet the country's things!"

Si Chen's words fell, and the room fell into a long silence again.

Si Chen felt that it was probably Yasukuni Gong who doubted the truth of his words.

He was about to say that he had evidence in his hand, when he heard Grandpa Guo speak first: "This official already knows about this matter, and it is difficult for you to go all the way to Beijing to file a complaint, you can rest assured, this official will never tolerate those who are bold and reckless." ”

Hearing Grandpa Guo say this, Si Chen exhaled a big breath.

"Thank you Grandpa Guo, as long as those people can be punished as they deserve, it is nothing for the lower officials to do this."

"By the way, does anyone else know about this besides you?"

Si Chen wanted one of his cronies to know, but the matter was too wide-ranging, and the little official had already resigned, so he didn't want to involve him anymore, so he said that no one knew about it except him.

"Well, if it is inconvenient for you in the Guogong Mansion, this official will first ask someone to send you to other courtyards, and when things progress, this official will let people inform you."

"Thank you, Grandpa Guo."

The person behind the screen called someone in and took Si Chen out of the Yasukuni Mansion through the back door.

After Si Chen left, the talent sitting behind the screen slowly walked out, he was wearing a gray official robe, and his appearance was five or six points similar to the Yasukuni Gong, and it was by no means the Yasukuni Gong himself.

After a while, an attendant walked in and whispered, "Master, the person has been sent out." ”

Chu Min's eyes sank slightly, "Solve it, clean it up." ”

"Yes."

"Send a message to Kuncheng again, let Ma Zhi be careful, if it is known again, he won't have to do it."

"The little one understands."

The snow in the capital is getting heavier and heavier, and when you open the door in the early morning, you can see that there is snow everywhere.

Since Xiao Shen ordered to continue to reduce the expenses in the palace, their meals have changed from the previous four dishes and one soup to three dishes and one soup, but the amount is still enough.

Zhou gently pushed open the door and walked in, "Niangniang, everything is ready, you can leave at any time." ”
