Text Chapter Ninety-Five: Tickle Powder
The civil officials are very powerful, and they can scold each other for 300 rounds on weekdays because of political discord.
Seeing that his colleagues began to scold Guo Feng, they were not to be outdone, and they all came up with their own posture of arguing with each other on the Jinluan Palace, and scolded Guo Feng for being bloody.
Some people even begged Shangguansha to leave Guo Feng in the history books, give him the name of a villain through the ages, and let him be notorious and stay in history for a long time, so that he could continue to be scolded by future generations.
This was in line with Liang Zheng's cronies, they just lit the first fire, and without adding firewood, they were condemned by everyone and began to burn with the momentum of a prairie fire.
Now they don't have to do anything at all, just follow everyone's posture and inadvertently insert a few words, and they can put everyone's goal on this crime.
Chen Wei nodded secretly, Liang Zheng's idea was really a clever plan, and without much effort, he put everyone's attention on other places.
Guo Feng's charge of traitor and collaborator with the enemy is estimated to be confirmed!
In the palace, Su Qingyun has been silent, he has a gut feeling in his heart that Guo Feng's crime is afraid that someone has imposed it, and the purpose is naturally to cover up the real murderer in the end.
So when everyone's condemnation was a little weak, he took the opportunity to open his mouth.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is not comparable in the name of the ordinary, and there is no conclusive evidence, so it is necessary to investigate it clearly, so as not to let go of the real murderer behind the scenes."
He looked like he was thinking about the court, and his expression was very solemn, which made everyone feel that they had just made some decisions.
Shangguan Cha pondered for a moment, "What the prime minister said is very reasonable, and I also feel that there is no evidence, so I can't be charged with this crime in advance, and I still have to find evidence." ”
He paused for a moment and spoke again.
"It's better to do this, I sent the eldest prince to investigate this matter clearly, and I must find out this matter clearly, to see if Guo Feng collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and sent all the embezzled military salaries to the Huns, what do you think?"
As soon as the holy mouth was opened, even if some people felt that this was a little inappropriate, they did not dare to refute it, and nodded their heads one after another, praising it as a good idea.
But Liang Zheng's cronies were a little apprehensive, lest they would be investigated and the truth of the matter would be found out.
After all, what correspondence with the Xiongnu and the knowledge of the Xiongnu dialect are all made up by Chen Wei at will, where will there be any evidence.
In the past few days, Shangguan Qian has been inspected by the emperor's decree to the places where the drought has been severe this year.
He usually pretends to be very gentle, humble and gentlemanly, and there is no trace of copper smell on his body, but in fact, he loves money very much, and what he sent to his hands was almost smoothly accepted, and naturally he turned a blind eye to some things.
Therefore, on this inspection, he was not thinking about how to do things for the people and speak for the people, but to help the local officials hide and bully their superiors and subordinates.
As soon as he returned to the capital, he didn't have time to return to the mansion, so he heard from his subordinates that he had been appointed by his father to thoroughly investigate Guo Feng's corruption case.
Shangguan Qian had already heard a little about this matter, because this was still discovered by Shangguan Yu, so he paid more attention to it.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Shangguan Yu has been in the limelight after the last few battles, and the people have supported him.
This is not something he is happy to see, the better Shangguan Yu's reputation is to the outside world, the more he threatens whether he can sit on the throne in the end.
Therefore, for the investigation of this case, Shangguan Qian has his own selfishness, firstly, he must find out something, so as to show his ability, and secondly, he is also greedy for the hundreds of thousands and twenty tenths that he has not found, if he finds out, he decides to take three or four percent first.
With such a purpose, Shangguan Qian naturally planned to find out.
Hussar General's Palace.
After Liang Zheng knew about today's conversation in the court, he had been thinking about what to do.
Originally, he thought that after giving Guo Feng the name of traitor and collaborator, the emperor would naturally not pursue the matter, but he didn't expect to send someone to investigate the case thoroughly.
He knew that if he really investigated, there would be no evidence for the crime against Guo Feng, where could he find out any correspondence with the Xiongnu.
In addition, Guo Feng's transfer to Yumen was actually planned by him, and it was not a self-recommendation at all, as soon as these were found out, he was a little dangerous.
He thought that he might as well start with Shangguan Qian and let him not pursue it too much.
But he hasn't had much contact with Shangguan Qian, lest he also have the same temperament as Shangguan Yu, so I'm afraid things won't be easy.
After a few last deliberations, Liang Zheng decided to deal with Shangguan Qian first and see what he was like.
There was a dark tide surging in the capital at this time, and Su Muwan's Qingcheng did not quiet down.
According to the originally set route, they came all the way from the southwest, and passed through several county seats.
All of them were warmly entertained by the local prefect, and then personally sent a few boxes of silver taels, and gave Su Muwan, the "special envoy", a lot of benefit fees.
Every time she received it, Su Muwan sent the dart bureau to send these silver taels to the Yuwang Mansion in the capital, and every time she came, she sent a few boxes to each place.
In this way, she has already sent back a lot, and the sum of those silver taels is probably more than the money in the treasury of King Yu's mansion.
Finally, they arrived at the capital city of Qingcheng, that is, Zhang Xun's brother-in-law, the jurisdiction of Qingcheng Taishou.
Because it is a mansion, it is very prosperous here, Su Muwan asked Mo Yan to find an inn, and prepared to repair it and make plans.
She was a little tired all the way, so she stayed at the inn to repair, Xiao Liu and Qingfeng went to the street to see what delicious special snacks were here, and Mo Yan Mo Yu was ordered by Su Muwan to inquire about the situation.
After Su Muwan took a shower and changed her clothes, she was a little hungry in her stomach, and she was about to ask the shopkeeper to prepare some food.
At this time, Qingfeng and the two people who went out to look for food came back first, but they also carried several medicine bags in their hands, and they didn't know what they contained.
Xiao Yanagi first spread out the food in his hand on the table one by one, and kept introducing it in his mouth.
"Princess, there are a lot of snacks here in Fucheng, you see this is a kind of flower cake that they specialize, the fillings in it are made of flowers, and it tastes delicious, you can taste it."
Su Muwan reached out and took a piece of cake, its skin was very white, and there was a faint fragrance of flowers.
took a bite, in addition to the petals, there were also some dried fruits and the like, which were full of sweetness, which was very suitable for Su Muwan's taste, and she directly ate the whole one.
Seeing that Su Muwan liked it, Xiaoliu and Qingfeng were very happy, this shop is a time-honored store here, and they waited in line for a long time to buy it, just to please Su Muwan.
Relieving the hunger in her stomach, Su Muwan asked casually while picking up the food sent by Xiaoliu.
"Qingfeng, why did you buy so many herbs again, is there any use?"
Along the way, Su Muwan became more and more glad for her decision to stay in the first place, and he used herbs to configure many kinds of pills, each of which could come in handy.
So as soon as she saw the medicine bag, she knew what kind of medicine Qingfeng was planning to dispense again.
Qingfeng scratched his head, smiled embarrassedly, and then said.
"Princess, there is a special herb called Ghost Star here in Fucheng, which is generally used to make ointment for trauma, but my father told me that it has another unknown use, that is, it can be used to make a kind of itch powder."
"Tickle powder?"
Su Muwan muttered the name and felt that it was a little interesting.
"Yes, this itchy powder, as the name suggests, touches a person's skin, it will make him itchy all over his body, and he can't help but scratch it, even if the skin is scratched out of blood, but the itch will not stop. And it lasted so long that you couldn't see anything afterwards. ”
Qingfeng explained to Su Muwan that the reason why he wanted to do this was also on a whim.
Hearing him say this, Xiao Yanagi hurriedly dropped the waist bag in his hand and wiped his hand on his body a few times, for fear that he would be hit by this.
"Don't worry, Sister Xiaoliu, it's okay to touch this ghost star directly, and it will only be made after some other medicines."
Seeing Xiaoyanagi's movements, Qingfeng said with a smile.
Su Muwan felt that this itchy powder could be put to some use, and when she returned to the capital, if Su Xinai came to provoke her again, she would sprinkle the powder on it and give her a lesson.
"Then Qingfeng, you can quickly configure it, maybe it will come in handy at some point." Su Muwan said to him softly.
Qingfeng nodded, as long as Su Muwan wanted it, he would definitely do his best to do it.
At this time, Mo Yan and Mo Yu, who went out to inquire about the news, also came back, and when she saw them, Su Muwan hurriedly asked.
"Did you find out what?"
"Back to the princess, we asked a lot of people along the way, the name of the Taishou of this city is Du Hua, he has always been honest and loves the people, and has a very good reputation among the people, his wife is the sister of Mrs. Zhang Xun, I heard that the two people have a good relationship, and often go out to walk on the street hand in hand. Moreover, his term of office is about to expire, and it is said that he will be transferred out of this place next year to become an official in the capital. ”
While reminiscing, Mo Yan told everything he knew.
The term of office he mentioned is a system of evaluating officials in the officialdom, and local officials, for a term of office every four years, will evaluate the merits of the person during his tenure as an official from the evaluation of the people, as well as the achievements made in the official position, and the evaluation of the immediate superior.
If you have a good reputation and get a first-class evaluation, you will be promoted, and you may even be transferred to the capital.
If the reputation is not good, if you get the last grade, most of them will be demoted to the most difficult place.
