Chapter 117: The Yanzhou Incident - Investigation
He Lao Er went out from a small door in the backyard, and the two big men were waiting there, and when they saw He Lao Er coming out, they hurriedly greeted him and hugged him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
One of them asked, "This Zou Ji is confused, why do we still give him money every month." That's all the money that the two commanders took away from the adults. ”
He Lao Er smiled: "If you don't give him any money, what if he pokes things up?" We borrowed the skin of King Lu's mansion, but the small fight was repaid, and it was not possible to make a lot of money without the protection of the county order. ”
The man looked like he was being taught, and then asked, "Did the prefect collect any money?" ”
He Laoer's face was unfathomable: "Then I don't know, the officials of the fourth grade are not something that people like us can see." ”
He Lao Er then said: "By the way, the lord said today that the emperor's grandson will go to Yanzhou the day after tomorrow, so why don't you stay at home honestly these days and don't go out to make trouble." Did you both hear that? ”
The person who didn't speak just now said: "What kind of imperial grandson, can you still manage the affairs of Yanzhou?" ”
He Lao Er stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said: "That's a person who is more powerful than His Royal Highness King Lu, if you want the life of someone like us, there will be countless people who will come to kill us if you stretch out your fingers." I'm telling you, if you go out and get caught these days, I don't care. ”
The man said, "In addition to the emperor, is there anyone more powerful than King Lu?" ”
He Lao Er said: "You haven't seen this." This imperial grandson is the current emperor after the death of the emperor, do you think he is more powerful than King Lu? ”
Then He Lao Er saw that he was still muttering there, and said, "Don't mumble a few times, just remember things." ”
=============================================================
In the backyard of the county government, Zou Jile, who returned to the bedroom, took out the gold he had collected and carefully counted it, and then put it into the small box where he had saved money.
His wife, Ma, looked at him and stopped talking several times. Zou Ji looked back at his wife's expression and said, "I know what you're going to say; I just took some money, something. ”
His wife Ma Shi said: "Husband, I know that you were hit in Qingzhou before, but you can't give up on yourself like this." You just charge a little money, so many 'uncles' and 'second masters' in the county government are pointing at you for dinner, and the old people in your hometown are waiting for you to send money back. But all this money is unreasonable, how can I accept it with peace of mind. ”
Zou Ji, who was originally happy, suddenly said with a distorted face: "What hurts the heavens and harms reason, when I was the prefect of Qingzhou before, the king of Qi ** people's daughter, robbed the people's property, I reported to the capital, even if Your Majesty is not what about the king of Qi, it is okay to call him back to the capital to reprimand him, there is no follow-up at all; On the contrary, it was the King of Qi who knew about it and obstructed the affairs of the government office, and in the end, he was inferior in the three-year evaluation and was demoted to Ziyang Dangzhi County. ”
"I can see it through, there is no benefit to working for the old Zhu family, so I have to catch it if I can. Your Majesty will not reprimand King Lu, even if it is known, it will be fine, and you can rely on King Lu to collect money with peace of mind. I didn't do anything anyway. ”
============================================================
Early the next morning, Yunxi and his party got up one after another. Yun Xi let Qi Tai and them go out according to yesterday's arrangement, and he took a few guards to continue to "observe the people's feelings".
Around noon, Yoon-hee and a few people who had gone out to investigate the situation met at a medium-sized restaurant. After everyone was seated, the guys had all the dishes served, and the guard Qin Nan said: "Your Highness, we pretended to be a messenger soldier in Yanzhou City, and inquired about the situation everywhere seemingly at random, and found that everyone missed the former King Lu Huang very much, and they all said that although the King of Lu Huang was not in charge of Yanzhou for a long time, he was respected by all the people. ”
Another guard named Luo Bingzhong said: "The people said that these people who exploited the people under the banner of His Royal Highness King Lu appeared three years ago, saying that His Royal Highness King Lu gave an order to form a royal village, and then they began to rob the people's fields on a large scale, and now there are more than 3,000 hectares of land. ”
A guard named He Yong in the back said: "Three years ago, His Royal Highness King Lu was only four years old, so it was impossible to give any orders. ”
Another guard, Zhao Fu, said: "That's why they are guilty of falsely transmitting orders." ”
Yun Xi didn't hear the whispered discussion of these two people, he listened to another guard, Mao Chong, say: "If it is possible that the construction of the Huangzhuang is still the will of His Majesty, then it must be their private idea to build a courtyard and repair the house for the palace guards." ”
The guard Chen Xing said: "I inquired, there are hundreds of these evil men who came forward, and yesterday was only a small part, but the leader was the man from yesterday, and everyone called him He Lao Er." ”
After a pause, Chen Xing said again: "Today I am in the city, I have not seen any evil men committing crimes, and when I came to the place where I said yesterday that I would come to smash the guy today, I did not see any evil to smash." It's very strange. ”
Hearing Chen Xing say this, Qin Nan, Mao Chong, Luo Bingzhong and others thought for a while, and also said: "It's true that I haven't seen any evil guys come out today. ”
At this point, all those who could speak the Shandong dialect had finished talking and found out the situation for themselves. Yun Xi thought for a moment, but did not express his opinion, but said: "Today is the 29th, the third, sixth, and ninth days are the days when the yamen receives the people's complaints, and in the afternoon, Chen Xing, Qin Nan, the two of you and I will go to the county government to see how this magistrate named Zou Ji judges the case." ”
Then everyone started eating. Yun Xi had something in his heart, so he put it down after not eating much, and the guards saw Yun Xi put down the dishes and chopsticks, and they took two mouthfuls of rice and put down the dishes and chopsticks.
The group walked downstairs, and Chen Xing went to settle the bill. Yun Xi thought about it while walking, and suddenly heard Chen Xing say: "You are not a small restaurant anymore, why don't you accept treasure money?" If you want to collect treasure money, you have to add 20% of the price, how are you doing business! ”
Yun Hee looked back. The guy should have seen so many of them, and one by one they didn't look like ordinary people, and said patiently: "Back to this uncle's words, although the treasure money can be exchanged for food, but it has to be exchanged in Jinan Mansion, and we don't have it in Yanzhou Mansion. ”
"And now the official face has always exchanged money for four banknotes, but now is not the season in early spring when the consistent money is exchanged for four stones of grain, but the consistent money can buy five stones of grain, which is equivalent to the consistent money for five banknotes, and we do not count the treasure money at the price of the official face. The store was originally a small profit, and then according to the official price to collect treasure money to do business losses. We can't help it. ”
