Within the tea shop. Dr. Tea brought the freshly brewed tea into Zhang Yue and Lu Huiqing's seats one by one. Tea is new tea, and so are the lamps.
Lu Huiqing was very knowledgeable about tea ceremony. He studied tea every day and drank tea when gathering with his colleagues. He hated drinking and was not very fond of women.
Zhang Yue and Lu Huiqing drank several cups of tea and had almost figured out Wei Duanzhi's affairs. According to the content, Zhang Yue is not afraid of Lu Huiqing lying to him, because at their level as an official, integrity is a very important card.
At that time, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty took Luoshui as an oath, which represented integrity, but it was destroyed by Sima Yi. But generally speaking, Lu Huiqing didn't need to lie to herself. At the same time, she would verify whether his words were true.
According to what Lu Huiqing said, this guard Duanzhi deliberately scrapped the 490,000 variegated bows that were in good condition, which was a heinous crime.
But for all warehouse supervisors, this kind of thing is normal. All the treasury offices in the imperial court were full of fat vacancies, and they were regarded as imprisoned by the powerful and influential children.
When it comes to embezzlement and theft of materials through the manufacture of weapons, they are generally not investigated, but once investigated, it is difficult for officials to get away with it.
But why did Lu Huiqing want to investigate this matter? Because after he was sentenced to arms supervision and formulated the bow-making procedures, he has honestly improved the production process by several levels, and the yield rate is extremely high.
But Wei Duan's greed for money went too far, and he turned the bow made by Lu Huiqing into a bad product to make money.
How could Lu Huiqing let him go? Zhang Yue asked: "How many of the 490,000 bows have been dismantled so far?" Lu Huiqing said: "More than 300,000 bows have been dismantled, and now there are only more than 100,000 left." Zhang Yue asked: "Why not earlier?" Say?" Lu Huiqing glanced at Zhang Yue and said: "We are in power!" Zhang Yue suddenly realized that Lu Huiqing must have known that Wei Duanzhi had done this, but he had been holding back before, but now he is in power. Expose this matter and take revenge severely.
Thinking of how Lu Huiqing had scolded Zeng Bu when he met him on the way, Zhang Yue laughed secretly in his heart.
Lu Huiqing said: "The weapons supervisor was previously judged by Lu. If something happened, the officials would not ask Lu to deal with it, but would find a trustworthy and neutral person. Du Zhi's integrity and character are well known to the whole court. Now, You have returned to the court, and this matter cannot be better for you." Zhang Yue said: "Brother Jifu, Wei Duanzhi is just a person on the table." Lu Huiqing said: "Exactly, the reason for this Lu has full authority to claim that all he needs to do is provide me with circumstantial evidence, that’s all the risk."
"Lv is just complaining about this, and he will never be involved in it." Zhang Yue was stunned after hearing this. If Lu Huiqing used the rhetoric of national justice, he would still have a question mark, but Lu Huiqing said that it was a personal grievance... …That’s sincerity.
Zhang Yueze said: "I just promised Brother Lu." Lu Huiqing said in surprise: "Why don't you verify my words?" Zhang Yue smiled and said: "I have always trusted Brother Jifu." Lu Huiqing smiled, Lu Heqing, who was standing beside him, also smiled.
After finishing speaking, Zhang Yue drank the remains of a cup of tea on the table and said "good tea." Lu Huiqing turned to Lu Heqing and said, "Go back and ask Li Ji to deliver several baskets of new tea from my residence to Du's residence." Lu Heqing said yes.
Zhang Yue smiled and thanked him and then said to Lu Huiqing: "Brother Jifu, we have been officials for a long time. It is inevitable that there will be bumps and bruises. Sometimes we have to be merciful and merciful. To be honest, I want to ask you to let me go." Zeng Zixuan." Lu Huiqing's eyes showed murderous intent after hearing Zeng Bu's name.
Lu Heqing on the side also thought, Zhang Yue actually wants to protect Zeng Bu? How can this be agreed to? He looked at his brother's answer.
Lu Huiqing said calmly: "Why are you so familiar with Zeng Zixuan? You actually want to protect him?" Zhang Yue said: "You also know that after Ouyang Gong passed away, everyone in the family dispersed, but Brother Zi Gu missed the old friendship the most. Ji. Brother Fu, you know that I miss my old friendship the most. This time Zhang was promoted to a bachelor's degree in the Imperial Academy, and his younger brother Zi Xuan came to visit and asked me to entrust him."
"Zixuan is an honest man. Once he asks me to do something, I will help him to the end. Don't let honest people suffer, right? Brother Jifu, the prime minister, has a lot of money, how about allowing him this time?" Zeng Bu is Honest man?
Lu Huiqing wanted to laugh a little. Can an honest person be an official? Now he had a complete upper hand over Zeng Bu in the battle of Yisi, and when he was about to kill them all, Zhang Yue actually asked him to let Zeng Bu go after hearing Zhang Yue's words.
He said calmly: "Du Zhi, you know that Lv is someone who says what he wants, so he seems to be a bit straightforward. Fortunately, he keeps his word."
"Since you opened your mouth to protect Zeng Zixuan, then this is my reward."
"Then thank you so much, Brother Lu. It's been a pleasure working with you." Lu Huiqing said, "To each other." Zhang Yue immediately left the tea shop.
Lu Heqing on the side said anxiously to Lu Huiqing: "Brother, why did you agree to Zhang Yue's matter? If Zeng Zixuan stays, there will be endless troubles. What if he turns against us and bites us?" Lu Huiqing glanced at Lu Heqing and said, "Then Are you going to avenge Zhang Duzhi for me? He is not Zeng Zixuan." Lu Heqing lowered his head when he heard this and said: "Brother, Zhang Duzhi opposes the market change law. He will abolish it either today or tomorrow. Sooner or later he will. I want to offend you." Lu Huiqing said: "I know, have you read Zheng Xia's lawsuit? Feng Sanyuan is my biggest concern now. Before Feng Sanyuan is dismissed as prime minister, don't offend Zhang Duzhi, you know?" Lu Heqing lowered his head and said. : "It's my brother. It's just that I'm not willing to let Zeng Zixuan go like this. Back then, he had the support of Wang Xianggong, and he was very proud in front of his brother..." Lu Huiqing said: "Yes, I don't know what tricks Zhang Duzhi used. Now Wang My husband also values him. This man is extremely versatile. Today, even Zeng Zixuan has been recruited to his account. Let's take a look at him and talk about it later."... This is not true.
Zhang Yue was furious after reading the materials Li Ji sent. Even if half of the 490,000 variegated bows were of poor quality, they were enough to equip an army of 200,000 people, so they were all classified as inferior by this person.
Wang Anshi was infamous, and all the money he had collected was wasted by these morons. These people are extremely corrupt. If such huge corruption is not punished severely, how can we talk about peace in the summer and control of the Liao Dynasty?
Zhang Yue thought of this and glanced at Li Ji. He was a Yin official and was now in charge of the economic management treasury. In the name of delivering tea, he secretly brought more than a dozen bows into the Zhang Mansion. These were all inferior bows that were to be scrapped by Wei Duan's test.
But after Zhang Yue inspected them, he found that the bows were all intact. In addition, the evidence collected by Li Ji is also conclusive.
This person is also an official. It seems that Lu Huiqing knows people quite well. Zhang Yue asked: "How do you think we are going to touch Wei Duanzhi?" Li Ji said: "If you do it rashly, you will definitely scare the snake and let Wei Duanzhi prepare after school, burn the account calendar, and forge books to help him. He was not guilty, so I thought I would find another reason to capture the guard Duanzhi first. Then I would send our people to take over his affairs and expose his crime, so that this matter could be solved once and for all." Zhang Yue appreciated it. Authentic: "If your idea is good, just do it your way."
"Thank you Duan Ming for your compliments." Zhang Yue pointed to several baskets of spring tea lying aside and said, "Thank you to Lu Da Shen for the good tea."
