Chongji's expression sank when he heard it, and the corners of his face twitched, as if he was holding back his anger.

But the officials and officials beside him were filled with righteous indignation, and they cursed one by one.

"I look at this Chen Palace, it's obvious that I'm looking for trouble!"

"Zhao Cheng has already personally persuaded him, this Chen Palace is going to go this way, what is his intention!?"

"Henan Yin tens of thousands of victims, does he want to watch them starve to death?"

"I think this Chen Gong is a person who sells his reputation and reputation, and this time he came, he must want to step on our Henan Yin to take the throne!"

Listening to their discussions, he shouted, "Enough! ”

Chongji swept over the crowd, turned around and strode away, and said, "If he wants to come, he will come, he is not allowed to move, so he will entertain!" ”

How could the crowd endure it, and chased after him: "Chong Yin, this Chen Gong is not good, we can't back down." ”

"Yes, if he forcibly stops it, tens of thousands of disasters will have no livelihood, but something big will happen!"

"Chongyin, at least you have to take precautions, right?"

"Yes, yes, at least find the person first, otherwise he will come wantonly, and I don't know how many victims will starve to death when the time comes......"

The seed series is deaf and deaf, and the dragon walks in a tiger's step.

At this time, the Chen Palace they were talking about followed the officials of Hu Cao to a post house.

Chen Gong wandered outside for a while, quietly went upstairs, and knocked softly on a door.

Zhong Yu, the right member of Hu Cao, opened the door, and when he saw that it was Chen Gong, he was stunned and said, "Chen County Order? ”

Chen Gong glanced left and right, raised his hand cautiously and said, "Outside the Zhong Yuan, the lower officials have something to ask for advice." ”

Zhong Yu was clear, let go, waited for Chen Gong to come in, poked his head out and looked left and right, and saw that no one had closed the door.

The two sat down, without any other politeness, Zhong Yu said: "Chen County's order is here for the five thousand stone grain?" ”

Chen Gong looked solemn and said, "Yes." Henan Yin impeached Xia Guan, and Xia Guan had to go this way. ”

Zhong Yu looked at him, hesitated, and said, "It's not a secret, Chen County Ling will know sooner or later." It is true that there are 5,000 stone missing from the big warehouse, and it is true that it was misappropriated for relief of the victims. ”

Chen Gong knew all this, he frowned, and said puzzledly: "Why use this way?" Henan Yin can do it openly? ”

Zhong Yu said: "We have all asked about these, the officials of Henan Yin are all in their mouths, and the disaster is like fire, and they are worried that the court will stop it, so they are making this decision." As for the impeachment of Chen County, it was because Chen County's refusal to open a warehouse to release grain, which caused them to be dissatisfied. ”

Chen Gong pondered carefully and said, "Hu Cao believes it? ”

Zhong Yu laughed and said, "Chen County Order, it's actually superfluous to ask about this. Henan Yin did not covet the autumn grain, and he had a meritorious service in helping the victims, and when this matter came to the top, most of it was a little reprimanded, and it was over. ”

The seed series opened the warehouse and released grain, which confirmed the reputation of 'benevolence for the people', if the imperial court dealt with it severely, what would the victims think? How can the officials of the world who are dedicated to serving the people behave in themselves?

Chen Gong took a deep breath, looked at Zhong Yu and said, "Don't hide it from Zhong Yuan, I think this matter is quite strange. ”

Zhong Yu thought for a while and said, "Chen County's order, in terms of Hu Cao, has no doubts. ”

Chen Gong's expression was calm, Hu Cao had no doubts, but he had more doubts in his heart.

The various behaviors of the series are too treacherous!

embezzled autumn grain for disaster relief and impeached him, but instead of pleading guilty, he deliberately delayed time, as if everything could have a reasonable excuse, but it was always separated by a layer, as if there was something hidden.

Zhong Yu put his hands on his knees, waited for a while and saw that Chen Gong still didn't speak, and persuaded: "Chen County Order, although you and I have no friendship, I still want to advise you, everything is peaceful." This matter will be settled as soon as possible, and it will be good with the court, with the kind of Yin and you, and it will be expanded wantonly, the court will be embarrassed, and Your Majesty's face will be damaged. ”

Misappropriation of autumn grain is a great crime, and it should be beheaded according to the law.

But if it is for the sake of 'relief for the victims', it is a different matter, and the court not only cannot blame, but also has to be rewarded.

Chen Gong forcibly suppressed the confusion in his heart, nodded slightly, raised his hand and said, "Thank you Zhong Yuanwai." ”

Zhong Yu obviously felt that Chen Gong still didn't believe it, paused, leaned closer, and said in a low voice: "The Yushitai side is already preparing to close the case and submit it." ”

Chen Gong's face changed, and he said, "Why are you in such a hurry?" ”

Such a big case, according to the practice of the imperial court, will not be fruitful without three or five months.

It's only been a few days?

Zhong Yu is the son of Zhong Xuan, and he is in Hucao, he understands the affairs of the court very clearly, sat back, and said with a smile: "Chen County Order, the matter of autumn grain, is the top priority of the imperial court, the day before yesterday the prince went to Yanzhou, yesterday the prime minister inspected the division, today, Hu Cao Xun Shangshu went to the state. ”

Chen Gong was stunned, this kind of thing, he naturally didn't deserve to know.

Silently groaning, he said: "Then, how will the imperial court deal with the matter of Henan Yin?" ”

Zhong Yu shook his head, pointed to the sky, and said, "That's something that the imperial court, or even His Majesty, can decide." ”

Chen Gong was uneasy, but he still took a deep breath, raised his hand and said, "If Chong Yin is indeed worthy of his heart, the lower officials will not chase after him." Thank you Zhong Yuanwai, after returning to Beijing, the lower officials will set up a banquet. ”

Zhong Xuan returned the salute with a smile and said, "Chen County is polite. ”

Compared with his father Zhong Xuan's unsmiling and cautious attitude, Zhong Yu is open to making friends, and it is convenient for him to be with others and himself.

When Chen Gong came out of the post house, he felt that something was wrong with this matter, and quietly probed around.

He did not return to Luoyang, but disguised himself again and infiltrated some places where the victims gathered.

In the evening, the almsgiving in the pergolas continued, not only with porridge, but also with bread, and it was full.

Chen Gong walked five places and ate seven meals, and his stomach was a little supportive.

Holding a bowl of gruel, he walked out of the disaster victim with the staff who rushed over, with a strange expression, and his brows were twisted all the time.

The staff was on the side, and said suspiciously: "Dong Weng has not been verified, Henan Yin is indeed releasing grain to help the victims, these days, the total number is one or two thousand stones, and there are ten and a half days, five thousand stones may not be enough, it is not the greed of the people who are in the middle of the series." ”

Chen Gong's brows twisted in pain, his eyes were very calm, and he said: "I always feel that something is wrong, I seemed to think of it just now, but now I can't remember it." ”

The staff looked at him, unaware.

After a long time, Chen Gong sighed and said, "That's it, let's go back." ”

In any case, this event has benefited the victims, and countless people are alive. Even if the series is selfish, it is more merit than fault.

……

When Chen Gong had not yet returned to Luoyang, Zhong Yu and other officials of Hu Cao arrived first.

Zhong Yu reported clearly in Hucao, and when he returned to the mansion that night, before he entered the door, a servant greeted him and said in a low voice: "Third son, the master is invited." ”

Zhong Yu said as he walked: "Father came back so early? ”

Tingwei's Mansion is very busy, Zhong Xuan usually goes out early and returns late, rarely at home, and their father and son haven't seen each other for a month.

The domestic servant responded and led Zhong Yu to the backyard.

In the backyard side hall, Zhong Miao was writing something, and under the light, his side face was solemn.

"I've seen my father." Zhong Yu knew his father's temperament, took a calm breath, and raised his hand.

Zhong Miao put down his pen and said, "Sit." ”

Zhong Yu lost his chatter and laughter in front of Chen Gong, and tried his best to remain calm and serious.

Zhong Miao closed the official document on the table and said, "What do you think about a trip to Henan County?" ”

Zhong Yu knew that the school examination was coming, he was nervous, thought about it quickly, and said: "Back to my father, although the seed series is not acting properly, but the intention is right, the child thinks that it should be a small punishment and a big commandment." ”

Zhong Xuan's expression was immovable, and he said, "I'm asking you, do you see anything else?" ”

Zhong Yu's heart tightened and turned rapidly.

When his father said this, it must have been something unusual, and there was something hidden in it.

Zhong Yu thought about it for a long time, but he still had no clue, so he had to raise his hand and say, "Please also ask my father to teach the child." ”

Zhong Xuan is not angry, this son is clever and knowledgeable, and he has no habit of being sloppy, and he is still satisfied overall.

Stretched out his hand and pushed the teacup in front of him towards Zhong Yu, Zhong Yu said: "First, the kind of compilation is right-hearted, why do you want to impeach Chen Gong in a book?" Second, there is no action beforehand, and there is no report afterwards. Thirdly, I have never seen such generous relief, and the victims of the disaster eat better than us. Fourth, the Yin family in Henan has always been kind and charitable, and this time, I didn't see half a figure. ”

Zhong Yu looked at Zhong Xuan, the corners of his face stiffened, and he felt a chill from the bottom of his heart, and his whole body was cold.

His father's four questions go straight to the point!

Why impeach Chen Gong?

Even if you want to provide disaster relief, why don't you report it to the court in advance, even if there is not a single script!?

Zhong Yu also went to those disaster relief sites, and he didn't think there was a problem at first, but now that he thinks about it, it's a big problem!

In the same way, why is it that only the government is giving money, and the big families have always won the name of benevolence at such times, so that they can't see any of them, right?

Zhong Yu quickly calmed down, took a calm breath, and said, "Father, this kind of stealing autumn grain, selling fame and reputation, and having sinister intentions, the crime is unforgivable!" ”

Zhong Xuan pushed his teacup again and said, "How do you think this matter will develop?" What to do? ”

Zhong Yu just picked up the teacup, hurriedly put it down, thought about it again, and said: "It should be verified by the Yushitai and dealt with severely." ”

Zhong Xuan looked at him and said, "Can you find evidence?" ”

Zhong Yu was stunned, thought carefully and again, and then fell silent.

He found it really hard to find evidence!

Zhong Yu now understands the trick played by the planters, using the disaster relief money and food donated by the family as the 5,000 stone grain. not only greedy for the 5,000 stone autumn grain, but also won a good official reputation of 'asking for life for the people' and 'sparing himself'.

The disaster relief is not over yet, and now that he has arrested the seed series, there is no evidence, and he can completely excuse himself and say that the disaster relief is not over, and the family's donation and the 5,000 stone grain autumn grain are far from enough.

He is not cooccult!

And when the relief is over, there will be nowhere to verify.

Zhong Yu thought about it, and his expression couldn't help but become solemn.

If you let the seed plan run away, and there will be a lot of learning from you, then the grain tax of the imperial court will be further eroded and corrupted!

But this matter is very tricky, the seed album is now in the middle of fame, and he can't be touched at all without evidence.

Zhong Yu thought about it, but there was still no good way, so he had to raise his hand and say, "Please also ask my father to teach me." ”

Zhong Xuan smiled rarely and said, "The imperial court is a righteous place, but it is also the most filthy place in the world. There will be no shortage of such people, and there will be more in the future. This kind of person will either be halfway or become a traitor. Tomorrow you go to Tocao, don't say much, let things continue to ferment. ”
