Regarding the question of his eyes, Gu Qingzhang chose to avoid answering.

The torrential rain wet his hair, Gu Qingzhang lowered his head and gasped slightly, brushing the broken hair back of his head with his hands, and after the agitated emotions calmed down, his eyes returned to deep black.

"Now the ledger is complete, but I don't understand a little," he said, "If it's just a land annex, then Qingxiao shouldn't be aware of these problems." ”

There should be a basis for what people do, if it is just a simple land annexation and hidden households, then why should Qingxiao be involved?

What was the starting point for her life?

Qingle looked hesitant, she said: "I was an orphan since I was a child, because I have a bit of color, so I was taken into the building by my mother, it can be said that if it wasn't for my mother, there would be no way for me to live." ”

"But if my memory is not wrong, I am afraid that Qingxiao did not enter the building of her own free will."

Lin Chonghan's mind was attracted by the six words "not voluntarily entering the building", and she couldn't care about Gu Qingzhang's eyes for a while, she took a few steps forward and asked: "What does it mean to enter the building involuntarily, she was sold by her father and brother?" ”

At this time, Gua Er had already dealt with the kidnapper's subordinates and re-set the carriage, because the rain was too heavy, so everyone had to get into the carriage to avoid the rain first.

After Lin Chonghan got into the carriage, he couldn't help but shiver, and a warm robe suddenly fell on her shoulder at this time.

She didn't have to look to know whose robe it was, she gathered it and didn't speak, but took out a fire breaker from the drawer and lit a small lantern on the wall of the carriage.

The rain was too heavy to hurry, so Gua Er also came in from outside, squatting on the carriage and rubbing his hands to keep warm.

Qingle wears few clothes all year round, and she doesn't feel how cold it is at the moment, she picked up Lin Chonghan's question in the previous sentence and replied: "If it was sold by my father and brother, it doesn't matter, how many poor women in the world come over like this." ”

"But the problem is," she sighed softly, exhaling a hazy white mist, "Qingxiao was forcibly taken into Xiaoyue Tower by Fang Chong's men. ”

Gu Qingzhang frowned: "This is forcing good people to become prostitutes!" ”

Qingle asked rhetorically: "Yes, but the world is so big, who can manage Fang Zhong?" ”

She seemed to be caught up in a long memory, and she did not speak for a long time, and there was silence in the carriage.

Gu Qingzhang leaned on the carriage, and he carefully pieced together the account book one by one according to the details of the silk before he began to flip through it.

Looking at it, his expression gradually became serious.

"On May 10 of the fourth year of Jian'an, Xuzhou Zhizhou had received 2,000 taels, and the party was allowed not to investigate the case of land invasion in Xuzhou; On August 7, the fourth year of Jian'an, the prefect of Nanzhili Taiping Prefecture collected 6,000 taels and allowed Fang to re-investigate the case of human trafficking in Nanzhili...... Six years of Jian'an...... Yun Fang re-intervened in the Suzhou scientific expedition ......"

Seeing now, Gu Qingzhang finally understood why the ledger should be divided into two, only the number of silver received and the number of events were on the same page, and this ledger was convincing enough.

He exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity, and the ledger in his hand weighed as heavy as a thousand pounds, weighing heavily on Gu Qingzhang's heart, how many families were broken and how many people were displaced?

He didn't dare to think about it.

"Gua Er, you let people-" Gu Qingzhang immediately changed his words halfway through speaking, his expression was extremely serious, "No, you personally take your brothers to the capital overnight, give this account book to Qi Si, and let him enter the palace to present it to Your Majesty." ”

"Be sure to remember," he pressed Gua Er's shoulder with his hand and looked directly at the other party, "The ledger must be placed close to you, the person is in the ledger, you know?" ”

Gua Er nodded vigorously: "Master Hou, don't worry." ”

He took off his robe, wrapped the ledger tightly, and put it on his heart.

"Brothers!" Gua Er whistled outside, then lifted the curtain and flew out of the carriage, "Go!" ”

Lin Chonghan was wrapped in clothes, and his ears heard the sound of horses' hooves and rain outside, as well as the sound of whistles and shouts.

"It's still pouring rain outside," she turned her head and asked Gu Qingzhang, "Are they physically able to afford to travel in the rain like this?" ”

Gu Qingzhang shook his head: "It's rainy in the south, they are all used to staying there, and they don't get in the way." ”

Lin Chonghan didn't say anything more, and the group stayed quietly in the carriage, waiting for the rain to stop.

At this time, Fang Zhong in Bozhou City was also anxiously waiting for news, and the heavy rain was ticking down the eaves on the green bricks, and it also fell on his heart.

"My lord, you don't have to worry," the henchman on the side persuaded him, "You are not unclear about the martial arts of the barbarian, even if Gu Qingzhang is from a family of military generals, but after all, he is too old to be more powerful than the barbarian." ”

Fang looked at him again and didn't speak.

He also knew in his heart that the barbarian was strong in martial arts, and it was impossible to miss this time, but he always had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Maybe it's raining too much.

"Your Excellency!"

A drenched servant rushed into the room in a hurry, he didn't even bother to salute, but said with a panicked face: "My lord is not good, the people who went with the barbarians, they are back-"

"Come back, come back, what are you fuss about?"

The servant gasped violently and said, "But they have returned with the corpse of the barbarian!" ”

"Boom—"

Staring at the broken teacup on the ground, Fang Zhong was like falling into an ice cave, his teeth were constantly fighting, and the barbarian died, indicating that Gu Qingzhang had already obtained the account book, and his status was precious, and he did not need to go through the cabinet to go through the cabinet, and he could go directly to the heavens.

He sat down in his chair and muttered with a pale face, "It's over, it's all over now." ”

"Your Excellency."

The henchman still wanted to speak, but Fang Chong raised his hand to stop him, and his whole person looked extremely haggard now.

He said dejectedly, "No need to say more. You've been with me for a long time, so run while you can still run. ”

"I can't leave."

*

Gua Er and his entourage ran sleeplessly for three whole days with the ledger before they delivered the ledger to Lian Jingzhi's desk.

In the afternoon of the same day, Long Yan was furious, and all the pen, ink, paper, and inkstones in the imperial study were swept to the ground, and the little eunuch who was waiting below was so frightened that he lay down and did not dare to move.

"I originally thought that land annexation was just an exception," Lian Jingzhi's chest continued to rise and fall with anger, "I didn't expect it to be so serious. ”

"The collusion between officials and businessmen, fish and meat in the township, has caused the displacement of hundreds of people, and even many people have become bandits!"

The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and his right hand trembled with anger: "...... I look at what is written in this account book, and I can even do such things as human trafficking and forcing good people to become prostitutes, who is this Fang Zhong who dares to do such a thing?! ”

Jixiang carefully picked up a cup of tea, tested the temperature with the back of his hand, and made sure that it was not hot before serving it to Lian Jingzhi.

He looked at his face and said, "Your Majesty, if the old slave is not mistaken, this Fang Zhong is probably a side branch disciple of Uncle Guangyuan's family." ”

Lian Jingzhi, who was holding the teacup, paused, he thought about it and put it down, and asked suspiciously: "A disciple of the side branches?" ”

Ji Xiang nodded: "It's indeed a side branch." ”

Because when Lian Jingzhi had not yet ascended the throne before, as a concubine, he was almost forced to a dead end by his concubine, so the dynasty paid attention to his concubine to a harsh point.

Even the imperial court has a clear rule that it is strictly forbidden to intermarry between concubines.

Lian Jingzhi didn't believe that Fang Chong's concubine could have such great ability and courage, and the only explanation was that he had someone behind him, or someone was borrowing Fang Chong's hand to do these things.

As for who it is, it is simply self-evident.

"The Four Princes share the world with me," Lian Jingzhi leaned on the back of his chair and waved his hand weakly, "Deal with Fang Zhong first, and then properly arrange those abducted and trafficked people." ”

"At the same time, let the officials redivide the land and return it to the people; The officials of Bozhou were all dismissed and exiled to the north, and the governor was killed with a cane. ”

As for Guang Yuanbo, Lian Jingzhi hesitated for a moment and then forcibly suppressed his thoughts, secretly warning himself that now was not the time.
