Chapter 64: Candidates
Zhao Gao and Hu Hai in the next cell heard the conversation between Li Si and Ran Fang, and they all had some thoughts in their hearts.
Especially Zhao Gao, the flood in Surabaya County is not a secret to him, and when this kind of thing happened in previous years, he would also mix it up, just to make such a profit.
It's just that he didn't expect that this Li Si would come to ask Ran Fang in person.
No matter how you look at it, it's weird.
And he also heard Ran Fang's proposal just now, if he really did it according to Ran Fang's method, then this road would be blocked in the future.
After all, it doesn't matter if the victims eat a little, they will die if they die!
But the victims of the disaster have become workers, and it will be different!
Once the deduction is restricted, it will definitely gather to make trouble!
As long as it is noticed, it is an endless amount of trouble!
If you want to make money again, it's not a little bit more difficult!
Cutting off people's financial means is like killing your parents!
This Ran Fang is too hateful!
"Second son, your chance has come!"
Hu Hai was stunned for a moment, he was still thinking about the tea that Ran Fang said about making money just now, and suddenly heard Zhao Gao's words, he couldn't keep up with the speed.
"What chance, sir?"
Knowing that Hu Hai couldn't count on it, Zhao Gao secretly scolded a fool in his heart, and then glanced in the direction next door to make sure that no one came before he spoke.
"If you go to Surabaya County for disaster relief, you must have someone from the imperial court."
"Since Ran Fang has a solution, then this matter is the same for anyone who goes, as long as it goes, it is a good opportunity to get credit!"
"The second son doesn't want to fight for it?"
"Now that Fusu Gongzi is still in prison, His Majesty will definitely not let him out, this kind of thing to comfort the victims, it is most appropriate for you to go."
Listening to Zhao Gao's analysis, Hu Hai also nodded.
Indeed, every year there is a disaster in the local area, and the county warden of Surabaya County has long had a way to deal with it, and every time the officials who go to the disaster relief come back safe and sound, then there is no problem in going by themselves.
However, when he saw that he was now in prison, he said with some embarrassment, "Yes...... I'm also in Xianyang Prison now, how can I get out? โ
Zhao Gao smiled slyly at him and whispered: "Second son, don't worry, it is estimated that the slave and maid will be able to go out in the next few days, and then the slave and maid will help you fight for this opportunity." โ
"As long as you agree, the rest of the slaves and maids will take care of it for you."
Hearing this, Hu Hai's heart was suddenly moved inexplicably!
In this world, Zhao Gao is really thinking about himself.
"Sir, this Xianyang Prison ...... How can you and I get out? โ
Zhao Gao shook his head and didn't say anything.
I couldn't help but think of Li Si coming to him that day, when Li Si must have heard some rumors and came to warn himself.
In the past few days, His Majesty should have investigated clearly, and that incident has nothing to do with him, at most, he is not strict in disciplining Hu Hai, so he will not be locked up for too long.
In addition, with Li Si maneuvering around, such a big thing happened in the court, it was natural for him to go out, and there was no need to think about it at all.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Hu Hai didn't chase after him, anyway, he had always believed in Zhao Gao's words.
Sure enough, the next morning, someone from the palace came to Xianyang Prison, and took advantage of Ran Fang and Fusu's training to personally welcome Zhao Gao out of the side door.
Following the people in the palace and walking through the familiar road, Zhao Gao knew that he really came out this time.
This time, he must be cautious and will not give Ran Fang another chance to grasp his handle.
When he came to Zhangtai Palace, Zhao Gao didn't have time to look at the other people in the hall, so he knelt on the hall with a "bang", and the tears in his eyes didn't have time to wipe away, so he opened his mouth in a trembling voice: "See-Your Majesty-"
"Thank you Your Majesty for sparing the lives of slaves and maids, and I will stay by Your Majesty's side in the future and protect Your Majesty with my life!"
"Your Majestyโthe slave misses youโ"
If an outsider is here, hearing the sadness in his words, there is even an urge to burst into tears.
But Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the high platform, didn't seem to hear what he said, and sat there without the slightest expression on his expression, which made people unable to guess his thoughts.
He just watched like that, Zhao Gao knelt on the ground and his body kept twitching, looking like he was crying.
After a while, his voice slowly came from the high platform, and he said in a very flat tone, "Get up." โ
Such a tone made Zhao Gao's heart skip a beat.
He didn't expect Ying Zheng to be so cold, as if he couldn't hear the remorse in his words, and he couldn't feel Ying Zheng's "trust" in him.
But he still stood up respectfully and said in a loud voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty! โ
After saying that, he stood there, not daring to say a word.
Now he couldn't figure out Yingzheng's thoughts, so he had to focus on Li Si who was standing there, but he didn't get any information.
He glanced at the other ministers, and when he saw Lang Zhongling Ma Guanglu, he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart.
Why is this person here?
Just when Zhao Gao was puzzled in his heart, Li Si walked to the middle of the main hall.
"Your Majesty, the minister has personally gone to Xianyang Prison and has already obtained a solution to the flood in Surabaya County."
As he spoke, Li Si said the words of Ran Fang in Xianyang Prison to Ying Zheng word for word.
In fact, it was mainly said to the ministers present, after all, this matter eventually had to choose one person to go to Surabaya County, which was a habit in previous years.
After speaking, Ying Zheng frowned slightly and looked at the few people in the audience.
There are so many ministers in the court, but they can't compare to Ran Fang alone.
It's sad, it's a pity!
Thinking of the corruption that Ran Fang said yesterday, Ying Zheng's eyes couldn't help but become a little colder.
In previous years, these people have participated in flood relief.
"I won't pursue the past for the time being, just know what you know."
Hearing this, everyone present was shocked.
Although these words are plain, they make people sweat coldly.
Especially Li Si, he knew that Ran Fang's words yesterday could not be concealed from Ying Zheng, if Ying Zheng investigated the corruption case, he was afraid that many people would be involved.
Ying Zheng saw the appearance of everyone in his eyes, and his heart was slightly cold, but he also knew that now was not the time to argue about this matter, and the top priority was disaster relief.
"The disaster of the flood can be solved, can this person choose the secretary?"
Ma Guanglu immediately stepped forward and bowed down and replied, "Your Majesty, although the disaster in Surabaya County is a bit troublesome, it is not the first time that it has happened, and the minister thinks that someone who is familiar with the local situation should be sent. โ
"Therefore, the minister recommended Taicang to order Xu Yuwen, Lord Xu!"
Ying Zheng glanced at Xu Yuwen and didn't seem to be particularly satisfied with this person.
He glanced around the officials in the hall and asked, "Are there any other candidates?" โ
Now that they have an understanding of Ying Zheng, since they have asked so, they are not satisfied with the current candidate.
Thinking of this, Zhao Gao took a step forward and said very respectfully: "Your Majesty, there is a candidate for the minister." โ
