But this is the way in this world, the three of them became tigers, and the speed of rumors spread was much faster than the speed of refuting rumors, and the king of Pingjiang began to ask the court for help, and on the other hand, he began to pin his hopes on Shangjia, and killed more than a dozen grain merchants who raised the price of grain in one go, which stabilized the situation.

At the same time, he finally found out that Zheng Qian was filling his pockets, secretly greedy for military salaries, and privately embezzled military rations and sent them to Yungui, as for the disaster relief food that should have been sent to Yungui? Naturally, he was greedy and exchanged for white silver.

This back and forth, Yunnan's disaster relief funds plus the military salaries in the northwest, this is the account of four or five million taels of silver!

These people ..... It's so greedy!

Are they going to rebel?!

Even if Cui Minglou has been in Jinyi Wei for a while, he has seen enough absurd and bizarre things, but he is still shocked by this incident and doubts the truth he heard, after all, it is too tortuous and shocking.

If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, if he hadn't heard and seen it these days, he would have found it hard to believe that such a thing was happening.

Su Lianqiao seemed to see through his thoughts, so he sneered: "What's so strange about this? In the previous dynasty, the powerful minister Gao Song only dared to be greedy for disaster relief funds in one province and two provinces? He dared to sell a few cities to Wara in private, what he did at that time was far more excessive than today's Tao Ge Lao, besides, this is far away, far away, not to say, it is said that it is Chen Ge Lao during the period of the first emperor, at that time, almost Jiangsu and Zhejiang became their Chen family's territory, everyone was proud of Chen Ge Lao, in the final analysis, it was not driven by interests? ”

Cui Minglou quickly figured it out.

In fact, there was no need for him to wonder what these people thought to do such a thing, because people are separated from their stomachs, and you never know what kind of heart some people have under their skin.

He snorted: "So the reason why Lu Ziqian is holding you is because you know all this?" ”

Su Lianqiao felt disgusted when she mentioned Lu Ziqian, she subconsciously pursed her lips, and her face showed an expression of disgust.

After a while, he spoke again: "When he first went to the northwest, he was forced by the Lu family to have no way out. It was my father who saw that he had some skills and was clever, so he recommended him to the prince, and he was able to get a chance to get ahead. Before that, he had lived in my house for a while......"

At that time, Master Su looked at Lu Ziqian very pleasing to the eye.

After all, although Lu Ziqian is not the descendant of the Marquis Chang Yong's mansion, he is also a member of the Lu family, and looking at his talent, plus he also has some skills, Master Su really loves Lu Ziqian.

Lu Ziqian also repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Lord Su for his cultivation, and even proposed to Lord Su and asked to marry Su Lianqiao.

Cui Minglou didn't know that there was such an inside story here, and when he heard that Lu Ziqian had a marriage contract with Su Lianqiao before, he felt outrageous for a while than when he heard that the military rations in the northwest had been misappropriated.

This also means that Lu Ziqian is simply scheming, and may even have been instructed by Tao Yuan to sneak into the Northwest Army and win the trust of the Su family and King Pingjiang, he just uses the Su family as a springboard.

Later, Su Lianqiao was a little tired, and his mood was not very high, and he smiled: "Later, you can guess that the prince found out the truth of the matter, knew that Zheng Qian colluded with Taoyuan and Lian Ping, and knew that it was already extremely dangerous, so he wrote the collected evidence into a secret letter and handed it to Kong Bingsen and my father......"

At that time, the situation was already tense, and it was a life-and-death situation.

Therefore, the king of Pingjiang could not be absolutely assured of his confidants, so he made two preparations, and prepared two copies of the secret letter, one for Kong Bingsen, and the other for General Su, and asked them to take the secret guards out of the city to the capital and the nearby Dengzhou to ask for help from the Wei family.

But the news was learned by Lu Ziqian.

Zheng Qian detained Kong Bingsen's young son and mother in advance and forced Kong Bingsen to submit, so Kong Bingsen did not send the letter.

But Kong Bingsen is also a cunning and shrewd, he knows in his heart that if he doesn't hand over the secret letter, Zheng Qian and they will still have scruples and fears, and they won't dare to jump off the wall in a hurry, but once the secret letter is handed over, then Zheng Qian will definitely kill people to prevent future troubles.

So he didn't hand over the secret letter, but tricked Zheng Qian into hiding the roadmap of the silver and Zheng Qian's token from Zheng Qian's henchmen.

Later, the Warats entered the city and slaughtered the people and officials in the city.

Zheng Qian took the opportunity to eliminate dissidents, and Kong Bingsen also knew that it was impossible to have a chance to report Lu Ziqian and them, so he simply took refuge in the Warat people and left Da Zhou.

As for General Su's side, when he was about to deliver the letter, he was intercepted and killed by Lu Ziqian.

General Su was forced to have no choice, and before he died, he handed over the secret letter to his daughter, telling her to live well, tell the court the truth, and avenge the grievances of the crown prince and the king of Pingjiang, as well as the soldiers who died in the war, and the innocent people who were involved.

After saying that, it was already the middle of the night.

The Qinglou has always been more lively the later it is.

At this time, the lights outside were bright, and the sound of silk and bamboo was loud, but there was dead silence in Su Forsythia's room.

Only the occasional crackling candle flicker, startling people back to their senses from time to time.

Cui Minglou opened his mouth: "Lu Ziqian just wants to get a secret letter, so he treats you like this?" ”

is also a man, Cui Minglou feels that he can't understand why some men can look down on their feelings so lightly and so cheaply, as if their sincerity is not worth mentioning at all, but they can weigh a few catties and a few taels to know how much to sell.

Especially, people who have really liked each other can still be cruel to each other to this extent.

It's really even more despicable than Chen Shimei.

Su Lianqiao smiled.

She looked at Cui Minglou and knew that he was uncomfortable, so she laughed softly: "You are very good, the princess has told me again and again, I hope that when you grow up, you will be able to stand up to the sky and protect the people like the prince." But then after the prince had an accident, you were taken to the capital, over the years, I have heard a lot of your deeds in the Qinglou, and I thought that you really became a gentleman, a son and brother who only knew the sound of dogs and horses, but now it seems that you have become an upright person as the princess and the princess wanted. ”

That's good, there are too many people in this world who don't look like people.

She has no hope for human nature, and feels that every man is hateful, dignified and has a jackal heart, but now looking at Cui Minglou, she vaguely feels that what her father and the prince insisted on back then made sense, because even if there are wicked people like Lu Ziqian in this world, there will never be a shortage of people with justice in their hearts.
