Chapter 798: Your Highness, Why Is He Here?
Chapter 798
"Your Highness, the lower officials thought what Duan Changshi said was true. His Royal Highness the King of Jin has only been away from Beijing for less than a month, so he will ask him first, or send people to continue to Beijing on the one hand, and send people to inquire about His Royal Highness the King of Jin...... "Xu Youjun thought about it, and also felt that Duan Shaojun's words were very reasonable, but after seeing Li Youwen's expression, he simply stood up and took a break with the mud.
"This method is more secure than that of the younger brother, Your Highness." Duan Shaojun didn't think there was anything, it was better to be safer, but Duan Dagongzi always felt that since the first batch of messengers sent out had not come back yet, this second batch of messengers might have gone and not returned.
"The lower officials think that if they send messengers again, it is better to let them keep a low profile and be safe, otherwise, if they are hindered by someone with a heart, maybe His Majesty will not see his face, and he will even take his life
。 ”
"This, that's unlikely, isn't it?" Xu Youjun jumped up in shock. "Your Highness's messenger, who else dares to stop it? Even if it was Zhao Linfu, he didn't have the courage. ”
"Then dare to ask Brother Tai, how do you explain the fact that the messenger has been gone for more than ten days and has not returned?" Duan Shaojun rolled his eyes and said angrily. These words directly blocked Xu Youjun speechless.
"Okay, then do it, I'll send a letter to my little uncle and ask if there's anything going on." Li Youwen thought about it, and now she is afraid that she can only use this method.
Li Youwen has always been a man of action, and since she had agreed so much, she simply wrote a letter directly to Yanmo, and after summoning her own soldiers to confess, she asked them to send the letter out quickly. However, after thinking of Duan Shaojun's previous reminder, Li Youwen specially told the soldiers who were going to go to Beijing to report the news to be low-key, and not to reveal their identities for no reason.
As soon as the matter here was disposed of, Chen Lushi came to the big tent with a very angry face, followed by two subordinates holding the account book. "Your Highness, the official business has been verified, and there are big problems in the account books of the five counties and eighteen counties this year, and the taxes are at least thirty percent less than the real records."
"How much less?!" Li Youwen was so shocked that she stood up directly on the couch, looked at Chen Lushi in front of her with a dumbfounded face and asked.
"Your Highness, according to the account books collected by Duan Gongzi, compared with the account books taken by Chen Tingshi, although we have only finished the account books of the previous year, but the difference in the amount is really terrifying, and it is a full thirty percent less."
Li Youwen's narrowed eyes flickered with coldness. "The total amount of taxes in Yunzhou is converted into money, which is about 300,000 taels, and if you add 30 percent......"
"In other words, just last year, Chen Tingshi and others embezzled nearly 100,000 taels?" Xu Youjun's expression was sluggish, his eyes were straight, and he was directly lying in a big groove in his heart. His salary is only two or three hundred taels a year, but Chen Tingshi and others embezzled the money they could earn for hundreds of years within a year, how not to shock Xu Youjun.
"Good, good, good. Originally, I thought that Yunzhou officials were Qingming, but it turned out that Qingming was actually on this ......" Li Youwen took the account policy handed over by Chen Lushi, and after comparing the position outlined with a red pen at the beginning, there was no longer any doubt. "Come on, bring Chen Tingshi, Zhao Changshi and whatever Sima to Ben Shuai for Ben Shuai."
Seeing Li Youwen's pretty face, Duan Shaojun knew that this woman who was dedicated to the country and the people was already really angry.

"What does Your Highness mean, if you don't see us, you won't see us, why are you still letting a few of us stay here, it's already dark now. There hasn't been any news yet...... Qian Sima said restlessly, walked to the tent from time to time, lifted the curtain and looked outside, and soon retreated back to continue sitting.
"What are you anxious about, the matter of military aircraft is not trivial, and it is nothing to slow down. I'm afraid, His Royal Highness has ulterior motives for doing this......" The longer Zhao Changshi stayed in this tent, the more panicked he became, but at least it wouldn't be like Qian Sima.
"The soldiers will block it, and the water will flood the earth......" Chen Tingshi took a sip of tea, and after thinking about it, his eyes fell on Zhao Changshi, who trusted the resourceful Zhao Changshi more than Qian Sima's idiot. Brother Zhao Xian, otherwise, the old man will go back to Yunzhou with Qian Sima first, here, you can stay, if His Royal Highness asks, he will say that Yunzhou has a lot of government affairs, and the old man will come to visit tomorrow. ”
"W-is this appropriate?" Zhao Changshi saw Chen Tingshi's gaze, and quickly understood what Chen Tingshi meant, the three of them did their best, and there was no one in Yunzhou to preside over the overall situation, not to mention that Chen Tingshi's nephew was also imprisoned in Dabin by Duan Beijia
But the question is, I am just a second-in-command in Yunzhou, can I stay more effective than you Chen Tingshi?
"Brother Xian doesn't have to worry too much, the old man's move is to test His Highness, if His Royal Highness has the heart to see the old man, he will definitely say it, if he is not willing to see the old man, what good is the old man staying?" Chen Tingshi didn't sell it either, and explained to Zhao Changshi
。
"Since the adults think it's okay to deal with it like this, then the lower official will stay." Zhao Changshi rolled his eyes helplessly, compared to the stupid Qian Sima Lai, it was indeed the most suitable for him to stay.
However, Chen Tingshi had just agreed with Zhao Changshi, and before he could get up, he saw that the curtain was lifted, and Li Shenjin, who had just led them over to wait, walked into the big tent with a strange expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"Please hurry up and come over, Your Highness is waiting for you in the big tent of the Chinese army." Li Shenjin looked at these three people, and it seemed that these three people didn't know that what they had done over the years had been pulled out by Duan Shaojun's kid in just ten days.
"Your Highness is free? That's just right, and I have to bother Captain Li to lead the way. Hearing that Li Youwen wanted to see herself and others, Chen Tingshi, who was originally nervous in his heart, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Since His Highness is willing to see himself and others, and he does not avoid seeing them, then at least it shows that His Highness does not want to tear his face yet, or rather, what Duan did was definitely not His Highness's intention.
After a lot of effort, Chen Tingshi and others came to the outside of the big tent of the Chinese army, sorted out the official robes and official accounts on their bodies, and Chen Tingshi took the lead and went straight to the big tent of the Chinese army.
After the three of them saluted Li Youwen, Chen Tingshi cleared his throat and was about to speak, but he heard Li Youwen's cold voice. "Chen Tingshi, the three of you came together to find Ben Shuai, why did you come together?"
Chen Tingshi stood up, and Chen, who was in his sixties, put on a sad and indignant expression and stood in Li Youwen's Chinese army tent to make a generous statement. "Your Highness, Weichen is here, I hope that His Royal Highness can control Duan Beijia, Yunzhou is the place where Zuo Yu Linwei eats, over the years, it is not easy to be peaceful, but since Duan Bei arrived in office, he has been doing misdeeds all day long, making the people of Yunzhou complain, and he is blackmailing businessmen in order to bribe...... Well? ”
The reason why the words were cut off was because Chen Tingshi saw that the curtain of the back tent of the Chinese army's big tent was gently lifted, revealing a handsome face, which was the Duan person who made Chen Tingshi so angry that he almost had a myocardial infarction.
Duan Shaojun opened the curtain of the tent and walked out of the back tent with the stunned expressions of Chen Tingshi, Zhao Changshi and Qian Sima, and then looked at Chen Tingshi with a smile, as if Fang Chen's words had nothing to do with his half copper plate.
"Chen Tingshi, why don't you speak?" And Li Youwen couldn't help frowning when she saw Duan Shaojun coming out, this guy said before that he wanted to hide behind and watch the play, why did he come out again? However, Li Youwen didn't bother to pay attention to this Duan someone, and raised her chin at Chen Tingshi and said.
"Your Highness, why is he here?" Chen Tingshi looked at Duan Shaojun with a smile and a little stunned, looking at himself with a pair of shrewd and somewhat schadenfreude eyes, and couldn't help but skip a beat of his liver and said towards Li Youwen.
Li Youwen raised her eyebrows, picked up the teacup in front of her, took a sip, and looked at Chen Youde and Chen Shidao with a look of surprise and doubt. "What's the matter, Ben Shuai, who is here, and you still need to report to Chen Tingshi?"
“…… Naturally not, but Your Highness, the lower officials are looking for a section to seek justice. Chen Tingshi's heart was horizontal, and a pair of triangular eyes glared at Duan Shaojun fiercely.
"Justice? I said Chen Tingshi, I don't know if you are seeking justice from me on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of people in Yunzhou, or on behalf of the officials of the five counties and eighteen counties of Yunzhou. You have to make this clear, otherwise, Duan really doesn't know how to answer you. ”
