Wu County Pedestrian Office.

Since Zhang Liang was only a pedestrian and did not have his own official office, Zhang Li ordered someone to clean up an ordinary house for Zhang Liang and a few people to handle political affairs.

Zhang Li is a sensible person, knowing that Zhang Liang came to Jiangnan with an edict, he naturally knows that Zhang Liang is deeply valued by me, and Zhang Liang's advice to him every time is quite effective, so he surrenders his identity from time to time to come to Zhang Liang for advice. After a long time, the two also fell in love, and Zhang Li often came to bring them some food and the like.

At this time, Zhang Liang and Bailingmu and Xiao Wu were discussing how to transport silk from Minzhong County to Wu County.

The white-collar wood complained about this matter, complaining with a bitter gourd face.

"This Minzhong County is good, with high rice yields and high-quality silk yields, but there is no way to transport them out. The heavy mountains and dense forests, it is not an exaggeration to describe, let alone take the caravan, you can't walk two miles empty-handed! I almost didn't give my life there on this trip! ”

"I can't understand what they're saying, and it's still a half-hearted person to bring an interpreter. Once in the north of central Fujian, it was hard to find someone to spend the night, and they compared for a long time, and I understood that it was for us to eat, and he was still thinking about why we were going to dig out dung! I'm mad at me! ”

"Hahahaha......"

Zhang Liang and Xiao Wu couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed out loud holding their stomachs. Since coming to Jiangnan, they have seen too many anecdotes, and Zhang Liang is not so old-fashioned.

Seeing this, the white-collar Mu was speechless.

Finally, the two finished laughing, and Zhang Liang also recovered his clever temperament, and said with a smile: "I will tell Your Majesty in next month's report on this matter, and see whether Your Majesty is ready to build a straight road or take the sea." ”

Xiao Wu suddenly thought of something, restrained his smile, and frowned at Zhang Liang.

"My lord, why haven't we heard a reply to our report to Your Majesty last month?"

Zhang Liang also restrained his smile and frowned: "Also, calculate the time, it should have arrived ten days ago." His Majesty is extremely concerned about Jiangnan, and it takes half a month to report back and forth every time. ”

Zhang Liang was so smart that he immediately became suspicious and said to himself: "It can't be that he was discovered, right?" ”

Bai Lingmu looked at the appearance of the two and asked curiously: "What kind of report?" ”

The white-collar Mu had just returned from Minzhong County, and he didn't know that Zhang Liang and Xiao Wu had gone to Changsha County, so naturally he didn't know what Zhang Liang said in the report.

Xiao Wu detailed how they discovered Feng Tuo's crimes in Changsha County for the white-collar wood.

The more the white-collar Mu listened, the more frightened he became, and when Wu finished speaking, he was already so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

"You mean, what we saw in Changsha County earlier was fake? No, is it that the emperor has seen all illusions in the past ten years? It's incredible, hasn't anyone ever found out before? ”

Zhang Liang frowned and said: "The first time we went to Changsha County and this time I went to Changsha County with Xiao Wu, Feng Tuo waited at the county border early and accompanied him all the way, and he didn't give us a chance to act alone at all." Thinking that the imperial court sent people to come before, he also responded in this way. ”

"It's just that I've always wondered why Changsha County was able to produce as much grain as several large grain-producing counties before the implementation of Zhancheng rice and new farming tools. So this time, in the middle of the night, Xiao Wu and I sneaked out to investigate those places we hadn't been to. ”

"I don't know if I don't check, after our secret investigation, Changsha County has ten rooms and nine emptiness. The prosperity we saw along the way was an illusion created by Fengtuo! After more than ten years of oppression, Qianshou couldn't believe the people from the imperial court for a long time, so no one sued the official! ”

Xiao Wu continued: "When we went back, we were discovered by Feng Tuo, who only said that the place we went to had just been hit by a disaster, but behind the scenes, he sent a team of soldiers to the place we secretly investigated. Master Zhang Liang and I only brought more than 20 people, and we were afraid that he would have bad intentions, so we used the excuse that something would happen and went back to Wu County overnight. ”

After returning, Master Zhang wrote a report on the situation in Changsha County and sent it to His Majesty overnight. But now, more than half a month has passed, and I still haven't received a reply from His Majesty. ”

The white-collar wood was also a little curious.

"It stands to reason that the reports to Your Majesty are sent to Xianyang as soon as possible, and Your Majesty is extremely diligent and will not press the reports not to deal with them. Could it be that the messenger of the recital had an accident halfway through? ”

Xiao Wu shook his head: "Unlikely." From Huiji County to Xianyang, all the way is the hinterland of Daqin, even if there is a situation, the confessor will be sent over after the post house is clear. ”

The white-collar Mu frowned and said, "Then it can only be ......"

Zhang Liang raised his head, his eyes were as clear as water, and then said, "Then it can only be done by someone on purpose." ”

The white-collar wood still couldn't believe it. Interception? Who has the guts? Who has this idleness? This thing is waste paper in the hands of ordinary people, and interception is a felony, who will touch this mold? Unless......

The three of them looked up in unison and looked at each other.

Unless this man has something to do with the retribution! Feng Tuo!

Just when the three of them thought at the same time that the report might be intercepted by Feng Tuo, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door.

Xiao Wu turned sharply and drew his sword from the shelf next to him.

Zhang Liang hurriedly stopped.

"There are guards in our courtyard, the guards are not blocked, they are definitely not thieves, don't panic."

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Li strode in and shouted, "Lord Zhang, I heard that Lord Bai is back, I came to see you." ”

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Xiao Wu holding a sword in both hands, facing him.

Zhang Li was taken aback, and exclaimed: "Xiao Wu, what are you doing?" ”

Zhang Liang hurriedly took a few steps forward, pressed down the sword in Xiao Wu's hand, and said with a smile: "Lord County Shou, don't panic, Xiao Wu is practicing sword play." ”

Zhang Li gently patted his chest, made a frightened expression, and exhaled.

"I was scared to death, I thought you were going to stab me!"

Zhang Liang looked around at no one, and said in a low voice: "No one has assassinated Lord Junshou, but someone is going to kill Liang!" ”

Zhang Li frowned, seeing that Zhang Liang didn't seem to be joking, he waved his hand and pushed the guards away.

"Why did Lord Zhang say this?"

Then Zhang Liang brought his speculations about the three of them to Zhang Li.

After hearing this, Zhang Li got up and said angrily: "This Feng Tuo has always been hypocritical, but no matter what, I never imagined that he would even dare to deceive the emperor!" Don't worry, Lord Zhang, if you are assassinated in Huiji, I, Zhang Li, will die with you! ”

Zhang Liang hurriedly reassured: "Don't be excited, Lord County Guard, these are just our guesses." However, this matter is not only related to my Zhang Liang's life, but also related to the life and death of the 100,000 Qianshou of Changsha County. Liang has a plan, the county keeper can listen carefully......"

After Zhang Li left, the white-collar Mu looked at Zhang Li's direction and couldn't help but sigh: "Lord County Shou is really temperamental!" ”

Zhang Liang smiled and did not speak.
