"Let's wait until Xiao He'er comes back to talk about everything."
Chen Kan made the final decision, and Zhu Zhanji nodded thoughtfully and said no more nonsense.
Chen Kan ignored him and stood up and walked out of the room, leaving the entire private room to Zhu Zhanji.
After all, Zhu Zhanji is still a little young and does not see things comprehensively.
Of course, growing up in a honeypot, it's normal for you to be unable to react to the sinister nature of people's hearts for a while.
Chen Kan brought him out this time to speed up his growth.
Seeing Chen Kan going out, Zhu Zhanji sat down where Chen Kan was sitting just now and began to think deeply.
Chen Kan's intention was obvious. This matter would ultimately be left to him to resolve.
Otherwise, there was no need for Chen Kan to remind him just now.
Since he was reminded, it was to make him think.
Having known Chen Kan for many years, he knew exactly what kind of person his teacher was.
Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanji suddenly stood up, found a pen and paper, and began to write and draw on the paper.
The art of distinguishing information from big data is a required course for Chen Kan.
That is, using massive amounts of information to infer the truth of the facts.
Of course, big data is what Chen Kan calls it. People in the Ming Dynasty prefer to call this skill the calculation of gods and the measurement of impermanence.
Not long after, the information Liu Guang just said appeared on the paper.
Tanzhou officialdom, Tanzhou garrison department, Liu Guang...
According to Liu Guang, the entire military and political circles in Tanzhou are in ruins. The commanders and government officials are colluding with each other, and there are deep connections behind it.
Since the situation in Tanzhou is like this, how can a small garrison commander like him have the opportunity to come to them and complain?
Zhu Zhanji did not rule out the possibility that Liu Guang was very capable and could avoid the attention of everyone in Tanzhou's military and political circles.
But if Liu Guang was really capable, why didn't he make arrangements with his family before coming?
Could it be that he planned to sacrifice his whole family in exchange for stability in the military and political circles of Tanzhou?
If Liu Guang was really such a saint, it would be impossible for him to take the initiative to ask for protection for his family after meeting Chen Kan.
After sorting out the cause and effect of the matter, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but smile bitterly.
No wonder the teacher just called him a fool.
It's really not wrong.
He is indeed an idiot. When his head gets hot, he even forgets the simple truth that listening to both sides will lead to enlightenment and listening to others will lead to darkness.
Leaning back on the chair with some lack of interest, Zhu Zhanji casually tore up the paper on the table and threw it into the trash can nearby.
With the current information, the truth he could piece together was limited, not to mention that many things were just guesses by him and his teacher.
What if Liu Guang is really a saint?
What if he is really dedicated to serving the country?
It's not impossible.
After sitting for a moment, Zhu Zhanji stood up, patted his butt and walked out of the room.
The teacher is right. The most important thing at the moment is to stay put and wait for the information from Hedi's investigation to come back before taking appropriate measures.
As for whether Zhu Zhanhe could investigate the truth, he had no doubts at all.
Just like he has some unknown power in his hands, with the teacher's temperament, it is impossible not to prepare anything for Xiao He'er.
Zhu Zhanji walked out of the room and saw Chen Kan already holding Fengyang and playing there as if nothing was wrong. He thought for a moment, then turned around and walked out of the room.
...
Three days passed by in a flash. During these three days, Chen Kan basically stayed in the restaurant, which can be called the reincarnation of the house god.
The family members and servants of the Hou Mansion were informed by Chen Kan that except for necessary purchases, they basically stayed at the door without leaving the door.
Zhu Zhanji, on the other hand, has been mysterious for the past three days, and he rarely sees anyone even when eating.
Chen Kan knew that he still used some of the power Zhu Di gave him, but Chen Kan had no intention of stopping him.
Again, Zhu Zhanji has grown up. If a person wants to grow, he cannot just grow older.
The fact that he is so concerned about this matter can be regarded as part of his growth process.
Zhu Zhanhe went out for three days and never came back.
Although a group of people were confused, they stopped asking questions after learning that Zhu Zhanhe went out under Chen Kan's order.
It was not until the afternoon of the third day that Zhu Zhanhe returned to the restaurant where Chen Kan was staying with a plainly dressed woman and a little girl about eleven or twelve years old, with a dusty look on his face.
"Teacher, Liu Guang's family members have been brought here."
After Zhu Zhanhe handed over the women and children he brought back to Yun Cheng, he came to pay orders to Chen Kan.
Chen Kan casually handed the letter he had just written to Zhu Zhanji, who was waiting on him. He raised his head and looked at Zhu Zhanhe, who looked tired. He nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Zhu Zhanhe grinned, shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
Chen Kan didn't say much. He turned to Zhu Zhanji and said, "Send someone to deliver the letter to Your Majesty."
Zhu Zhanji nodded and trotted out with the letter, not knowing who he was going to arrange to deliver it.
Zhu Zhanhe looked at Zhu Zhanji's back and couldn't help but wonder: "Teacher, why does the elder brother seem so worried today? Did you scold him?"
"Nothing."
Chen Kan smiled and returned Zhu Zhanhe's words intact, and the master and apprentice immediately looked at each other and smiled.
Not long after, Zhu Zhanji left and returned.
Chen Kan got up and took the two of them into a completely closed room.
Chen Kan sat down on the main seat and said calmly to Zhu Zhanhe: "Tell me what you have found in the past three days."
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Zhanji subconsciously sat up straight before Zhu Zhanhe opened his mouth.
Zhu Zhanhe glanced at Zhu Zhanji in surprise, the confusion in his eyes getting deeper.
However, he did not delve into what was wrong with Zhu Zhanji, and said loudly: "Teacher, according to the disciple's investigation in the past three days, what Liu Guang said is basically true. The Tanzhou government and the garrison department are both in bad condition. At the root of the matter, in addition to empty wages, there are also a series of corruptions in Tanzhou, such as concealment of tax returns, false reports of floods, collusion between officials and businessmen, etc."
Chen Kan nodded, with no expression on his face.
Zhu Zhanji became angry all of a sudden and couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said: "All the officials in Tanzhou, including the garrison chief Changkun, should all die."
Zhu Zhanhe did not respond to Zhu Zhanji's nonsense and continued: "Tanzhou is indeed in ruins, but fortunately they have not chosen to target the people at the lowest level, so Tanzhou can still maintain the illusion of prosperity for the time being."
As he spoke, Zhu Zhanhe suddenly laughed.
While laughing, he said: "And just like this, they are actually able to maintain it for three years, which is quite capable."
Hearing Zhu Zhanhe's laughter, Zhu Zhanji was immediately dissatisfied and said: "How long has it been, and you can still laugh?"
"What's going on with Liu Guang? You should tell me quickly."
Zhu Zhanji urged dissatisfiedly, and Zhu Zhanhe stopped trying to be too pretentious and continued: "If the teacher is really good at predicting things, then Liu Guang does have a problem."
After hearing Zhu Zhanhe's words, Chen Kan still had no expression on his face.
Whether Liu Guang has any problems or not, you only need to look at his behavior towards his family.
When Zhu Zhanhe brought his wife and child in just now, his wife and child's eyes gleamed obviously, and the little girl felt even more afraid of him.
In addition, Liu Guang's wife and children were so plainly dressed that they looked like an ordinary farmer's family.
A fifth-grade garrison commander may not be a big deal in the capital city, but in the local area, he is definitely a noble person who is worthy of the heavens.
It is really a fantasy that the family members of a noble person are dressed like this.
Therefore, this result is not unexpected.
Zhu Zhanhe flattered Chen Kan a little, and when he saw that Chen Kan had no reaction, he continued: "In addition to having a daughter with his first wife, Mrs. Xu, Liu Guang also has an illegitimate son outside, who was born in a brothel. Born to a geisha, the illegitimate son had been fostered by him in a merchant's family. Not more than one person in Tanzhou knew about this matter, so he came to complain without even caring about his wife and children. "
When Zhu Zhanhe said this, Chen Kan showed a little interest on his face and asked: "Since no more than one person knows about the fact that he has an illegitimate child outside, it means that Tanzhou or Someone knows that Liu Guang doesn't care about the life and death of his wife and daughter, so it's impossible that he doesn't care about the life and death of his son, so why did he come to complain?"
Hearing Chen Kan's question get to the core of the question, a look of admiration suddenly appeared on Zhu Zhanhe's face.
"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from the teacher."
Zhu Zhanhe smiled slightly, and before Zhu Zhanji could continue to urge him, he continued: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have thought that a mere garrison commander could use such methods."
"What means, you should tell me quickly!"
Zhu Zhanji was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and showed great dissatisfaction with Teacher Zhu Zhanhe's betrayal.
Zhu Zhanhe shook his head and said: "The illegitimate son is also a cover-up trick of Liu Guang. The person Liu Guang really cares about is the aunt he raised in Yongding County. According to the news from the spies, Liu Guang and the aunt are together. He raised two sons and one daughter, and the two sons are studying in a private school."
After waiting for a long time, Zhu Zhanhe finally told the truth.
As soon as the truth came out, Zhu Zhanji was so shocked that he was tender on the outside and tender on the inside.
"This, this, this... are you sure this is Liu Guang's handiwork?"
Zhu Zhanji pointed at Zhu Zhanhe incoherently, his face full of disbelief.
Zhu Zhanhe smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, when I first learned the truth, I couldn't believe it, but it is the truth."
Zhu Zhanji's eyes widened and he murmured: "Is this the work of a garrison chief?"
After hearing Zhu Zhanhe tell the truth, Chen Kan was also a little surprised. He did not expect that a small garrison commander could have such a method.
False and false.
This Liu Guang turned out to be someone who had read the Art of War.
Putting aside his surprise, Chen Kan continued to ask: "Have you found out why Liu Guang came to complain?"
Hearing Chen Kan's question, Zhu Zhanhe nodded hurriedly and said: "It is most likely due to uneven distribution of the spoils. According to the information reported by the spies, the annual money and food for the nine garrison divisions under Tanzhou are divided between the five cities' military and horse divisions. Distribute them, and then Chang Kun collects them and takes care of all aspects.
However, the nine garrison departments in Tanzhou still support 3,000 old and weak people. The rations for these 3,000 old and weak people are distributed by the nine garrison departments on a quarterly basis. This quarter, it happens to be the turn of the Qixian garrison department where Liu Guang is located.
Liu Guang was originally going to distribute money and food, but Chang Kun pocketed the money and food that was supposed to be distributed, so Liu Guang had to pay for it out of his own pocket.
Because of this incident, Liu Guang held a grudge against Chang Kun, but he just suffered from the lack of opportunity for revenge. Until we came to Tanzhou, Liu Guang finally found the opportunity, so he came to complain without hesitation. "
The matter finally came to light, and Chen Kan couldn't help but show admiration on his face.
"So, this Liu Guang is really a talent."
Zhu Zhanhe echoed: "This Liu Guang is indeed a talent. If he hadn't met you, teacher, and it had been someone else, he might have succeeded and gained both fame and fortune."
After Zhu Zhanji heard the truth discovered by Zhu Zhanhe's investigation, he couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said: "What a national thief, he still wants to do such a deception."
