Chapter 34: What is hidden

Li Shu finally couldn't hold back a little, "It seems that Madame doesn't believe in the lower officials, and on the surface, she invited the rank officials to come to check the old accounts of the Sun Mansion, but in fact, she listened to the rumors in the army, and believed the words of the lower officials to deduct the military supplies." ”

But I also know what I have done.

But Qiao Wei still didn't show it on his face, and asked lightly, "Oh? Where does this begin? ”

"Madame sent Youye here this morning, and it was also said that some people in the army had reported to Madame that the lower officials were greedy for ink and taxes, deducted military salaries, and killed two entourages in the house."

Well, it's time to talk about it.

Qiao Wei felt that such an imposing Li Shu was real, and the gestures at the beginning were really awkward.

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Qiao Wei still put on a tone that was neither salty nor light, and stared back at Youye, "That's what you said?" ”

Youye immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty, "The long history of the government has been obstructing in every possible way, refusing to let his subordinates invite the rank officer, and his subordinates are in a hurry, thinking that the rumors in the army are true, so Chang Shi is so weak-hearted, so he blurted out." ”

Qiao Wei glanced at Li Shu and said that he didn't say that he suspected anything, and that the people below had made their own decisions.

"But I've heard these claims lately, and I've never been able to verify them.

Since Lord Li is resting today, and I don't think I have arranged an official trip, then I will take me to the granary in the army to have a look. If the language in the army is excessive, I can also give my lord a personal witness, and when Wu Hou and the general come back, I will definitely severely punish those who are not honest, and return my lord's innocence. ”

Li Shu hesitated slightly, "The barracks are heavy, and the soldiers are all vulgar, I'm afraid I will collide with Madame." ”

"I'm not afraid, how can adults still look forward and backward, but it is easy to confirm the rumors from the outside world, and the official reputation of adults is not good."

This sentence was about to roast Li Shu on the fire, Li Shu was reluctant in his heart, but he had to respond, "Thank you, Mrs. Xiaguan." ”

-----------------

The wheels of the carriage went unhurriedly in the direction of the barracks, and Li Shu sat in the car with a face full of anger, "I used to underestimate her. ”

A daughter raised by a small family is so thoughtful.

"On weekdays, I look at the muffled voice, but when I made a move, I was caught off guard." Li Shu said hatefully.

Li Cheng has a different opinion, "It is precisely because she is from a down-and-out family like the Qiao family that she can climb to the Sun family and become a wife, which shows that her methods are clever." Brother has to guard against it! ”

Li Shuxin said, this is nature.

"She just relied on her appearance to get General Sun's blue eyes, if she didn't have her face......" Li Shu had a little calculation in his heart.

When Li Cheng heard this, he was shocked, but even if Li Shu made a decision, it was impossible to change it easily.

When they arrived at the granary, Qiao Wei and his party went to check, and the little official in charge of the granary opened the door of the granary very attentively and asked Qiao Wei to go to inspect it.

"I won't go in, Youye, you can take a few soldiers to see for yourself, be careful, don't get dirty, these grains and grass will be sent to the front line for the soldiers to eat."

Qiao Wei said that, and invited Li Shu to sit outside the opposite room, which had both eaves to shelter from the sun and rain, and could see at a glance what was happening in the granary.

Xiao Ye served the two of them fragrant tea and a small plate of snacks, Qiao Wei whispered, "I'm not used to drinking alcohol, but this fragrant tea has a different taste, and it can also clear your mind and feel at ease, adults can try it." ”

Tea is tea, but the trend of drinking tea also began to spread in the Jiangnan area of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but most northerners are not used to drinking tea, so there are not many types of tea that can be drunk.

Moreover, the boiling of tea in this era is really done by boiling tea leaves and cold water in a pot, and then placing it on the stove to boil, without any skill at all.

Qiao Wei drank the slightly bitter tea in the bowl, and still missed the modern tea ceremony in his heart, although the process was complicated, but it could indeed stimulate the sweet and fragrant taste of tea to a great extent.

Li Shu tasted it, "It's really novel." ”

Qiao Wei also seemed to be gossiping with Li Shu, "I heard that the adult was born in Runan, why did he move to Lujiang and stand?" ”

"Xiaguan was originally from the command of Yuan Gong, and followed the son of the Yuan family to Liu Xun, but Liu Xun was narrow-minded and did not like the old Yuan family.

Qiao Wei bowed slightly, Liu Xun was not a person who could tolerate people, and he was unwilling to reuse Liu Ye and his subordinates, so it was the same, the generals and scribes who were not from his own faction were all hesitant.

"Speaking of which, I have been in the Sun Mansion for several months, but I have never seen Mrs. Zhou's beauty, if you have the opportunity, you can invite you to see it."

Li Shu arched his hand and said, "This is the blessing of the clumsy Jing." ”

"A few days ago, I heard my mother say that the adult seems to want to talk about the marriage for the sister-in-law, I don't know if this is what Mrs. Zhou means or what the adult means?" Qiao Wei took a sip of hot tea and pretended to be inadvertent.

Li Shu was still pondering the meaning of this sentence, Qiao Rui had revealed some news to him before, which probably meant that after Qiao's mother went to see Mrs. Qiao, she was a little shaken about this marriage.

At this time, Qiao Wei mentioned this talk, I don't know if he was knocking on his meaning.

"Clumsy Jing said casually, don't mind, madam."

Qiao Wei said "um", "Since it is said casually, then there is no need to mention it again, the housemate has not yet arrived, if some words are said too much, it will be criticized when they are spread."

The Zhou family is a famous family, and my Qiao family is still a little worse in the end, and I really can't afford to climb it. ”

Li Shu can only say yes.

The sky was getting dark, and the sun was sinking very fast, and even the golden sunset dissipated in a few moments.

Finally, Youye and the others walked out of the granary and replied to Qiao Wei, "The subordinates and others have finished counting, there is enough grain and grass, and there is no shortage, so they can be sent to the front line in these two days." ”

Qiao Wei nodded and said to the general behind Youye, "Now that it has been investigated, it is the innocence of the adult, and the rumors in this army should also be revealed, do you understand?" ”

"What Madame said is that the subordinates understand."

Li Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief, "The reputation of the lower official can be regarded as preserved, thank you to Mrs. for clarifying this matter for the lower official, otherwise the lower official will not understand even if he has ten mouths, and he will be wronged in vain." ”

Qiao Wei said, "Those who are clear are self-purifying, which is not only wronged, but also the day when the snow will be revealed." For there is nothing that is hidden, that is not revealed, and that which is concealed, that is not revealed. ”

This is a warning to him and a reminder to him.

Qiao Wei led the group back to the house, and Li Shu's carriage also followed, but in a secluded place that he hadn't seen yet, Youye directly knocked out the little official who was guarding the granary, blindfolded his nose and dragged him away.
