Chapter 180: Lord Zhang is an honest official
As he spoke, his tone was extremely sincere, as if he was being kept in the dark, Shen Yunchu also knew that this was a trick, she would do it, and said with a smile: "My lord, please speak." ”
Zhang Zhouyi hesitated for a moment before saying: "Here's the thing, as soon as the old man arrived in Belvedere yesterday, he heard that the magistrate of Lizhou had bent the law for personal gain, and what was the private ...... Forehead...... The beauty tax, and the increase in the local official tax, can there be such a thing? ”
Shen Yunchu looked at him and nodded lightly in his nervous and puzzled eyes: "What my lord has heard, it is not a rumor, the lower officials have dismissed Wu Yong, the magistrate of Nali Prefecture, from his post to be investigated, and sent a letter to His Majesty to explain this matter, waiting for His Majesty to decide." ”
As soon as he heard this, Zhang Zhouyi immediately slapped his legs, frowned, and scolded angrily: "This bastard boy! It's really the name of his damnation, Wu is useless! the bastard! ”
Listening to his righteous indignant tone, Shen Yunchu didn't answer, just calmly picked up the tea, lowered his eyes slightly, avoided his afterglow, and only felt funny in his heart.
After being silent for a long time, seeing that Shen Yunchu was not in the trap, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Zhang Zhouyi's eyes, and then it was fleeting, but it did not escape Bai Yuheng's eyes on the side, and he also sank his eyes.
Then, Zhang Zhouyi's tone paused slightly, and then continued: "But Wu Yong is really a simple-minded person, he doesn't have any thoughts, I'm afraid he was being used, in the old man's opinion, there must be something strange about this matter, what does the little niece think?" ”
Shen Yunchu heard this, and couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore, she put down the teacup, thoughtfully, pretended to have a solemn expression, and said: "Is this matter his fault or someone deliberately bewitched, I think when His Majesty's thorough investigation comes down, everything will come to light, and now what you and I say may not be the truth." ”
"Besides, Wu Yong, as a local official, even if he was bewitched by others in this matter, then how could he not be at fault? Since you are a parent and an official, you should think about the people everywhere. ”
"The people are the foundation of the country, I think that Wu Yong has also studied hard for decades to have today's career, not to mention that he knows the ancient and modern, at least he has read a few sage books, if he doesn't understand such a simple truth, he can still be bewitched by that kind of thing, and those pickled things are in the same stream, then the books of the sages in the past few decades have really been read into the dog's stomach?"
When she said this, she smiled brightly, and even spoke softly, so that people couldn't hear the slightest irony, as if she had never doubted Zhang Zhouyi and this matter at all.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that with Wu Yong's belly of fat and his chin that is about to lift to the sky, how can he be a person who has studied hard for decades, and that official position was bought by the family by begging Zhang Zhouyi.
Shen Yunchu's words were ugly, which was tantamount to scolding Zhang Zhouyi with a secret poke, but it made people with weak hearts unable to find half a reason to refute.
Zhang Zhouyi's face immediately sank, and the smile on his face couldn't be hung up after all, and he couldn't even pretend to be kind on the surface.
Shen Yunchu hooked his lips, picked up the teapot on the side, personally poured a cup of tea for Zhang Zhouyi, and said, "I heard that Wu Yong is Lord Zhang's nephew. ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Zhouyi's face became even more ugly, he opened his mouth, and he didn't know what to say for a while, admitting no, not admitting no.
Shen Yunchu just glanced at him, his tone was slight, and he continued: "But I think that Lord Zhang is an honest official and is deeply loved by the people, so he can't do this kind of pickled thing. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Zhouyi barely squeezed out a smile, which was a little ugly, but he still tried to maintain and maintain his image, but he only replied vaguely: "Of course, of course." ”
Then he raised his eyes and glanced at Bai Yuheng, who was sitting on the side and never said a word, and the ugly smile on his face was instantly a little unbearable, and he immediately felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
After only a little silence, he still got up slowly and said, "It's not too early at this hour, the old man should go back, and there are still a lot of official affairs to deal with, so I also took the time to come out and take a look." ”
Seeing this, Shen Yunchu also hurriedly got up to send him off, but before he could take a few steps, Zhang Zhouyi waved his hand to stop: "Lord Shen stays, don't send it, get busy with your go." ”
"Master Zhang, let's go." Shen Yunchu smiled slightly, and saw him off, until he walked out of the camp tent, Shen Yunchu put away the smile on his face.
After waiting for a while, Shen Yunchu turned his head and went in, sat in the camp and drank tea, then heard Bai Yuheng chuckle and said, "Do you know why he came to you today?" ”
"The probe is ready to overturn the case." Shen Yunchu held the tea bowl without raising his eyelids, and when he said this, his tone was also light.
Bai Yuheng chuckled, and his heart was one step ahead of the words that came out: "My daughter-in-law is so smart, I didn't find out before, and she is still an official." ”
Shen Yunchu's hand scraping the tea foam paused slightly, raised his eyes to look at him with some dissatisfaction, shook his head helplessly, and listened to him again: "Then what are you going to do next?" Need my help? ”
Shen Yunchu didn't answer, only looked at him with some hesitation, he smiled, his eyes were full of pampering, after thinking about it, she said: "They will definitely destroy the evidence left before when they turn over the case, I need to find those evidence." ”
Bai Yuheng nodded thoughtfully: "What do you say." ”
Shen Yunchu thought for a moment, sorted out his thoughts a little, and replied: "Regarding the beauty tax, as far as I know, half of the girls who were levied before are missing, and I think that if I can find those girls, I will definitely be able to prevent them from overturning the case." ”
"Furthermore, regarding the matter of local official taxes, they have collected so much privately, they will definitely not eat all of them, and they will definitely share the spoils, in order to avoid disputes afterwards, in this way, there must be an account book, as long as the account book can be found, the case will be solved."
Listening to her words of conditioning, Bai Yuheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's all tricky work." ”
He looked at her, with an unclear smile in his eyes, Shen Yunchu's eyes sank, and he just wanted to refute him: Didn't you ask me to say it?
Before she could say anything, she heard Bai Yuheng's cheerful voice: "I'll just say that my daughter-in-law trusts me the most, and I will do such an important thing." ”
"She must like me, otherwise why don't you let someone else do it?"
"She's definitely fond of me, my damn charm."
Shen Yunchu: "......"
She admits that looking at the entire Sheng'an, Bai Yuheng is definitely an outstanding existence, and as for the charm or not, it is definitely not a problem to fascinate thousands of girls.
But although this kind of thing is obvious, it is always another feeling for him to say it himself, Shen Yunchu sighed helplessly, when is this voice a head?
Sometimes I often don't want to hear him make two mistakes, but sometimes I wonder if she really loses this ability, will she also not be able to hear Gao Zhiyi's heart, so she is still a little reluctant in her heart.
