Chapter 16: Encounters
After Shuoshan inquired clearly, he immediately rushed back to the yamen and told Si Yunlan everything he had heard.
In the study, Si Yunlan sat on the chair with a serious face, but he didn't expect this matter to be true.
What he didn't expect was that Lin Jingdan embezzled the construction money privately, and the previous ministers who were responsible for building the embankment actually embezzled the funds allocated by the imperial court to a greater or lesser extent.
He understands the truth that when the water is clear, there are no fish, but he didn't expect them to be so bold, especially Lin Jingdan, who only used rotten wood and yellow mud, according to this cost, he embezzled at least seventy percent.
"Go and call the county lord." Si Yunlan commanded.
"Yes, my subordinates will go."
When Shuoshan went to call Si Ning, she was still taking a nap, and last night Si Yunlan took her to the most famous restaurant in Yinchuan City for a meal, during which she drank a lot of wine, plus the journey was tiring.
I didn't get up in the morning, but I hastily ate lunch at noon, and then went to sleep again.
Dew dropped back from the door, walked lightly to the bed, and called her in a low voice, "County Lord, County Lord wake up, the eldest young master is looking for you." ”
In fact, after sleeping for so long, Si Ning had already woken up, but he just didn't want to move.
So as soon as the dew drops called her, she opened her eyes, and Si Yunlan called her?
Si Ning's eyes suddenly lit up, it couldn't be Lin Jingdan's matter, right? Si Yunlan's movements are so fast?
With something in mind, Si Ning quickly got dressed and went out of the door, Shuo Shan waited outside the door, saw Si Ning come out, and stepped forward to salute.
"Shuoshan has seen the county lord."
"Shuoshan, I haven't seen you for some days, but you've grown a lot stronger." Shuoshan has been by Si Yunlan's side since he was a child, and of course Si Ning recognizes him.
"Lord Law's memory is hanging." Shuoshan said with a smile, "Childe asked me to invite the county lord to the study, and I have important matters to discuss." ”
"Let's go."
Hearing him say this, Si Ning was even more sure of two points in his heart, and his pace couldn't help but be two points faster.
Si Ning arrived at Si Yunlan's study under the leadership of Shuoshan, she was in a hurry, so she walked a few steps and directly pushed open the door of the study.
Si Yunlan was reading a book, but when he heard a loud noise and raised his head, he saw Si Ning's face enlarged in front of his eyes, he hurriedly leaned back, and said helplessly, "It's still so frizzy." ”
Si Ning didn't care about arguing with him at this time, "Say it quickly, did you find something?" ”
Si Yunlan didn't respond to her, but looked at Shuoshan behind her and motioned for him to close the door.
After the door of the study was closed, Si Yunlan did not continue to sell Guanzi, "I have already sent Shuoshan to investigate, and the matter is as you expected, Lin Jingdan embezzled the construction funds of the imperial court, and the materials used for the construction were rotten wood and yellow mud." ”
"Rotten wood and yellow mud!"
Si Ning was not happy to find out about Lin Jingdan's corruption, but she felt a chill on her body, it turned out that the bursting of the Yellow River was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.
Lin Jingdan, it turns out that he is the culprit who caused everything in his previous life.
"Then what are you waiting for, arrest him immediately, I will take him back to the emperor's uncle to deal with."
As long as she thinks of the fate of Daddy, Auntie, Uncle and Grandmother in her previous life, she really wants to kill her with her own hands, but she knows that she can't.
Lin Jingdan is Lin Ge Lao's son, and she can't leave a handle for him to catch.
"Aning, things are not as simple as you think." Si Yunlan got up to comfort Si Ning and asked her to sit down first.
"Fraud and shoddy construction are not something that Lin Jingdan can do alone, and the local officials are not fools.
Only by netting all the people on Lin Jingdan's interest line can we give His Majesty an explanation. ”
Lin Jingdan was in charge of building the embankment and recruited so many migrant workers in various places, but he didn't believe that the local officials knew nothing about the matter, and since they were silent, the matter must not be simple.
After Si Yunlan finished speaking, Si Ning's mood gradually stabilized Xia Li, she was thinking about what Si Yunlan said just now, yes, he was right, it would definitely be impossible for Lin Jingdan to do it so seamlessly alone.
There must be someone behind him who is hiding it for him, helping him in the dark, so many county orders can't be ignorant, they ......
Wait, suddenly Si Ning paused, she looked at Si Yunlan who was sitting opposite, and said faintly, "You are also the county commander, or the county commander he is responsible for building the embankment section......"
"Si Ning, you can't talk nonsense about these words." Si Yunlan glared at Si Ning, "Although I am the county commander of Yinchuan, Yinchuan still has a history of assassination, and not everything is under the control of my county commander." ”
"Thorn history? Does that mean that Yinchuan Thorn Shi and Lin Jingdan are in a group? ”
"It's not stupid." Si Yunlan glanced at him angrily, "Whether it's a group or not, he must know about it." ”
"That's not a gang, I'll just say that he is so blatantly corrupt, how can he not be discovered, it turns out that he has already opened up the relationship."
Si Ning was angry in her heart, as long as she thought about the fate of everyone in her previous life, she couldn't wait to arrest all the people involved and divide the five horses.
"Since they all know, then what are you waiting for, why don't you arrest them all quickly."
The sooner we catch it, the sooner the dam can be rebuilt, and the time is pressing.
"Catch? Do you catch it or do I catch it? ”
This girl is always so impatient, sometimes, things can be done without being in a hurry, and the more anxious she is, the slower she should be.
"Don't worry, I've already written an excerpt to my father, and my father will tell Your Majesty what happened in Yinchuan, just your little arms and legs, let's stay honest." Si Yunlan glanced at Si Ning angrily.
"Don't act rashly, when the time comes, you won't have a place to cry."
Although Si Ning was still anxious to deal with them as soon as possible, she also knew that what Si Yunlan said was right, and she couldn't act rashly.
"So what am I doing?" Si Ning came to Yinchuan for Lin Jingdan's business.
She was prepared for difficulties when she came, but she didn't expect everything to fall out the next day, and she was at a loss.
"Didn't you just come to Yinchuan to play, I'll ask Shuoshan to take you to Yinchuan for a good visit, there are a lot of interesting places here, enough for you to play for a few days."
He estimated that he would be busy for the next few days, and he must not have time to watch her, so he had to find something for her, lest she have to do anything when she is idle.
"Okay." Si Ning is not a person who can't listen to persuasion, since everything has been investigated, then she will wait.
……
On the second day, Si Ning waited for Dew to go to Yincheng with nothing to do, and the guards only took Shuoshan, who was familiar with Yinchuan.
"This Yinchuan looks quite prosperous, and it deserves to be plugged into the south of the Yangtze River."
……
On the second floor of the inn, Li Su saw a familiar figure through the half-open window.
"Is that her?"
