"Left Prime Minister!"
"Left Prime Minister!"
With one word after another, a petty official hurried towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Upon hearing this, Left Prime Minister Su Yunqi hurriedly put down the brush in his hand, raised his head, and looked at the junior official running in front of him with a worried expression.
"What happened? Are you so panicked?" Left Prime Minister Su Yunqi asked.
The official was panting so hard that he hurriedly handed over the letter first.
As soon as he received the letter, Su Yunqi, the left prime minister, hurriedly opened the letter and browsed it hastily.
While Prime Minister Zuo was looking at it, the junior official tried his best to catch his breath and said: "This is a letter from the magistrate of Lenan Prefecture. As soon as I received it, the junior official did not dare to delay for a moment and hurriedly delivered it. "
After looking at it, Prime Minister Zuo frowned and looked at the junior official of the Prime Minister's Mansion in front of him: "Go and make a report. Call the Censor of Zuodu to come over."
"Hey, yes."
After answering, the junior official hurriedly went to invite him.
The Prime Minister Yang Youcheng on the side saw his benefactor so anxious and asked: "Prime Minister Left, something happened?"
Su Yunqi sighed, looked at Yang Youcheng, and handed the letter to him.
"This letter is from Lenan Mansion. The letter states that the relief grain transported by Lenan Mansion to Jinhua Mansion is suspected to have been robbed."
After hearing this and looking at the letter, Right Minister Yang Youcheng asked his benefactor Su Yunqi: "Who dares to be so bold? How dare he intercept the imperial court's disaster relief food."
Su Yunqi looked like he was caring for the people and said: "We have to investigate this matter before we know it."
After a while, I saw Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, walking over in a hurry.
"Prime Minister Zuo, are you looking for a subordinate?" Guo Yushi asked.
Su Yunqi nodded and handed the letter from the magistrate of Lenan Prefecture to Guo Yushi.
After taking it, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, looked at it hurriedly.
After reading this, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, looked a little angry: "Who dares to be so bold as to intercept the imperial court's disaster relief grain?!"
The left prime minister looked worried, sighed, and said: "Jinhua Mansion is a big mansion with many people in it, so the prime minister used the docking method. The food from the big mansion is used for disaster relief in the big mansion, and vice versa. Now the disaster relief food in Lenan Mansion Before it arrives, how can the people of Jinhua Mansion hold on for so many days at this moment?"
"It has been the middle of June since the Jiang Lai disaster occurred. It has taken such a long time, but it has only been reported today." Su Yunqi looked resentful.
"Therefore, this case is left to you to handle. The truth must be investigated strictly."
After hearing what Su Yunqi, the left prime minister, said, Guo Kang, the censor of the left capital, was a little reluctant.
I don't know whether it was because he was afraid of being attacked on the road or something else, but reading this letter made Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, feel a little uncomfortable.
"Prime Minister Zuo, please forgive me, but I can't do it. The Metropolitan Procuratorate has been busy with official duties in recent days, and it's hard for me to get away." Guo Kang, the censor of Zuo Du, said he was unwilling on his face.
Upon hearing this, Su Yunqi, the left prime minister, became a little anxious: "Can't do it? Since the official affairs are busy, let the censor of the right capital handle it. No matter what, you must go in person. I believe you. Besides, this has always been a big deal. When was the case not handled by you?"
Seeing the reluctance of the left prime minister, Guo Kang, the censor of the left capital, had no choice but to agree.
"Okay. I agree."
Hearing that Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, agreed, Su Yunqi, the left prime minister, smiled slightly.
"This case must be solved as soon as possible to give an explanation to the people of Jinhua Mansion. At the same time, Shangshu Cen, who is providing disaster relief in Jianglai, can preserve his reputation and provide relief with peace of mind."
"good."
After answering, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, was a little worried: "The person who dared to intercept the disaster relief food must not be a small person, and his suspicion is not only in Jianglai Province. I sincerely ask the left prime minister to give me a document to handle the case from the province."
Without thinking much, Left Prime Minister Su Yunqi agreed: "Okay. You go back and pack up first. I will send someone to bring it to you later."
"Okay. I will resign."
After saluting, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, hurriedly walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and walked towards the Ducha Yuan.
After delivering all the matters, big and small, to the censor of Youdu, he returned to the mansion in advance, packed up his things and set off.
…
"Sir, I heard that the imperial court sent Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, to investigate the case. Will we... do this?"
On the second floor of the inn near Xingyi Mansion, the words of the housekeeper Ye Kaichang came.
"What are you afraid of? It's just Guo Kang. Don't look at him investigating and closing so many cases. There's so much behind this that we don't know." Magistrate Ding said.
"Sir, are you saying... Guo Kang came up and tried to bribe him?" Guan Ye asked.
After hearing this, the magistrate Ding Weiang turned his head, looked at the housekeeper behind him, and sneered: "When will your brain be enlightened? You have made so much money in vain for this game that you have worked so hard to set up. , you said bribery is bribery?"
"Don't forget it. He is the censor of Zuodu. Only you can't see how he has made money, but there is nothing you can't imagine."
Listening to the master's words, Butler Ye lowered his head: "What the master said is absolutely true."
"In this case, go and get those four people..." Magistrate Ding started gesticulating.
Looking at the master's gesture, Butler Ye was really surprised.
"Master, this is all for... isn't it a bit?" Butler Ye was a little at a loss.
Seeing Butler Ye's unbearable look, Magistrate Ding said: "Now, the money has been earned. Guo Kang came down to investigate the case. If he finds out even a little bit, our lives will not be saved. All the money you earn goes into it in vain. Only by cutting off the grass and roots can you ensure peace."
"Master's teachings, I understand, little one. Let's go now."
Just when I was about to leave, Master Ding Weiang reminded me: "Be more agile and learn some tricks."
"Yes, sir."
Butler Ye just walked out and arranged for his own people to come.
Now, Butler Ye finally knew why the master didn't let him do this in the first place.
…
As soon as Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, arrived, he first went to Lenan Mansion to investigate.
Upon hearing the news that Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, had arrived, Yan Kangping, the magistrate of Lenan Prefecture, hurriedly came out to greet him.
"Guo Yushi, you are finally here. Please check quickly. The people of Jinhua Mansion are still waiting for food."
Hearing what Yan Zhifu said, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, sneered and began to investigate the case...
"Prefect Yan, please come with me one by one. This disaster relief food is suspected to have been intercepted, but how do you get this news?" Guo Yushi said.
Magistrate Yan looked at the master on the side, but what kind of official was the master? If he was asked to say something, it would seem disrespectful to Guo Yushi, so he had to tell everything he knew.
"That day, shortly after dawn, a government servant who claimed to be from Jinhua Prefecture hurried to the Lenan Prefecture's yamen and handed a letter to Xiaguan. At that time, the official opened it and saw that it was the handwriting of the magistrate of Lenan Prefecture. But this trace can be imitated by anyone, including government officials. So, the subordinates began to guess whether it was true."
"But I thought that the relief grains transported by Lenan Mansion to Jinhua Mansion were escorted by carefully selected government officials in this mansion, all of whom were highly skilled in martial arts. At that time, the subordinates were a little unbelievable. If anything happened on the way, there must be someone there. Should you survive and report back to the mansion? But it didn’t happen.”
Guo Yushi nodded and continued to listen.
"So I was dubious at that time and sent someone to check the whereabouts of the relief food. After checking for several days, I didn't see any traces along the way. Later, I thought, maybe I really encountered some big difficulties. This I couldn't come back. So I hurriedly reported it to the court."
After listening to what Yan Zhifu said, he looked at the busy officials in the yamen, analyzed what Yan Zhifu said, and then asked: "Please give me the identity information and age of the people who escorted the disaster relief food. , how many people are in the family, and when they were appointed as yamen servants, are also submitted to this court."
Guo Yushi's words sounded really troublesome, but who would dare not to do it? Magistrate Yan didn't even dare to hesitate and agreed: "Okay, I will order someone to do it now."
After speaking, Yan Zhifu looked at the master beside him. With one look, the master understood what Yan Zhifu meant and did it.
"Guo Yushi, you have come all the way here. You haven't had any food yet, have you?" Magistrate Yan asked.
Guo Yushi smiled slightly but said nothing.
"Guo Yushi, please wait a minute. I will give them orders right now."
"Okay." Guo Yushi responded.
Magistrate Yan hurried away and ordered the fire room to be set up.
At night, after eating, Guo Yushi sat alone in a room vacated by the Lenan Mansion Yamen and read the information.
Guo Yushi has read this sequence countless times.
But judging from these information, the government officials who escorted the disaster relief grains were not very suspicious.
On one side, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, was still investigating what caused the disaster relief grain and the Yamen servants who escorted the disaster relief grain to disappear. On the other side, Jiang Lai was standing on the mountain behind a house in the suburbs not far from Xingyi Prefecture. A dozen people were watching.
"Fei! We have made so much money, how do we spend it?" said the thin man with a sallow face.
There are four people in this family, three of whom are brothers and the other is the eldest brother's wife.
This thin man with a yellow face was ranked second, and the so-called Fei was the third.
"Listen to big brother."
The third child looked at the eldest brother, and the two of them looked at the eldest brother together.
At this time, the eldest brother's wife came over with food. Thinking about what they said just now, she curiously asked: "What are you three talking about?"
The second child smiled slightly and made up a lie: "It's nothing, sister-in-law. Our brothers did a big business yesterday and made a lot of money. We are planning how to use it."
Seeing the second child smiling so happily, seeing the third child sharing the same smile with the second child, and then looking at her husband's expressionless face, he asked: "Why don't you say anything? You are not happy after making money." Huh? Tell me, what kind of big business are you doing? "
Looking at the eldest son's appearance, the second son continued to make up: "Sister-in-law, what else could it be, an escort."
Upon hearing this, the sister-in-law looked at her husband with a worried look, and asked with concern: "Are you injured? Are you unhappy?"
Before he could answer, the sister-in-law was very worried and wanted to lift up her husband's clothes to see if there were any injuries. But her husband suddenly became angry.
"It's okay! It's so good!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the boss raised his head and looked at the virtuous wife who was frightened by his appearance. He quickly put away his temper and said, "I'm sorry, I've been tired these past few days. Didn't it scare you?"
The wife pretended to smile and said, "It's okay, it's okay."
Just as they were about to eat their food, the dozen men in black who were ambushing on the back mountain couldn't wait any longer.
The leaders nodded, and everyone flew to the house where there were only a few people, like flying clouds and mist, and gathered around a room.
As soon as they heard the noise, the three brothers quickly took out their long knives and stood in front of their sister-in-law, preparing to fight.
The sister-in-law was a little frightened by the actions of several people at this moment, but she did not dare to make a sound.
Suddenly, a door knocked over some uneaten food on the table to the ground.
Suddenly, men wearing black cloaks and holding long knives approached with murderous intent.
"Second child! Third child! Protect my sister-in-law!" As soon as the boss said this, he held the long knife tightly and rushed over.
"Okay!" The two of them responded, standing next to their sister-in-law Zhou, and beat each enemy when they came.
The sound of the collision of knives resounded in this inconspicuous house. My sister-in-law was so frightened that she didn't dare to say a word, and her heart was beating very fast.
How could the three of them resist a dozen powerful men in black? The boss's body had already been slashed several times.
The second and third children were also injured a little while protecting their sister-in-law.
However, none of the dozen or so unknown people have fallen yet.
Seeing that the three of them were exhausted, the man in black exerted all his strength and walked closer.
I saw that the three of them retreated further and further, retreating to the sister-in-law, surrounding her, trying to prevent the enemy from getting closer.
Knowing that he could not resist these dozen men in black, the boss wanted to know who they were.
Before he asked, he saw the waistband of a man in black exposed, with a snake head printed on it. The snake head did not look like an ordinary snake, it had been modified.
"Are you the subordinates of Prefect Ding?" the old man said.
The man in black in front of him smiled slightly: "It's so smart, but it's a pity that the money is not that easy to earn."
Before the boss could continue speaking, the knife mercilessly wiped off several people's necks.
Looking at the fairly good dishes on the ground, a man in black ate the dishes without hesitation.
Just took a bite, what a good guy, I foamed on the spot and went to the west.
Seeing this, the men in black around them stayed far away.
The leading man in black said: "Don't eat randomly! Stay away from these vegetables!"
