"When Min Feng first arrived in Jiangnan, he stayed in Yingnanfu for several days, during which he only inspected the Yingnanfu embankment twice. He and the officials of the Ministry of Industry ate and drank in Yingnan Mansion, with beauties as companions, so happy. ”

When the emperor said this, the corners of his mouth hooked up a sarcastic smile.

Xia Qing's heart sank when he heard this, this must be Gu Chengyu's black state, otherwise the emperor would not know about this at all.

When Gu Chengyu was ordered by the emperor to rush to Jiangnan, Xia Qing had a bad premonition in his heart. Therefore, he gathered his cronies overnight to discuss how to deal with it.

And wrote a letter that night and sent it to Jiangnan, didn't Min Feng receive his letter? Otherwise, why do you act so carelessly?

Min Feng and Hu Maoshen walked forward together before, and it was okay to act arrogantly.

He still knows a little about Hu Maoshen, even if the other party is not an official of his own lineage. But Hu Maoshen didn't dare to offend him. Therefore, as long as Min Feng is not excessive, Hu Maoshen will only open one eye and close one eye.

Besides, Li Taixing, the prefect of Yingnan Mansion, frequently showed favor to their Xia family last year, and he guessed that the other party wanted to abandon the original owner and join his disciples instead. It's just that he thought this person was too cunning before, so he ignored it all the time.

Hu Maoshen didn't dare to pursue it, and Li Taixing would only stutter, Min Feng went to Jiangnan just to be promoted in the name of justice.

It's a pity that he made a lot of calculations and missed a little. He didn't expect that the disaster in Changtianfu would become so serious, and the emperor overrode public opinion and sent Gu Chengyu to Jiangnan.

Gu Chengyu has long stood on the opposite side of himself, and this time he went to Jiangnan, didn't he take the opportunity to seize the handle of himself and Min Feng?

"Your Majesty! Weichen said before that Min Feng has been in officialdom for less than three years, and he has compiled documents in the Hanlin Academy before, where have you ever seen such a scene? The flood in Changtianfu is a major event, and if Min Feng is sent there, he is afraid that he will not be able to do anything. Even Gu Shaoqing may not be able to complete this important task, right? ”

Who is Xia Qing? In a moment, he calmed down. In fact, this is not a big deal at all, even if the emperor wants to punish Min Feng, there is no valid reason.

How many days have you been in Jiangnan? It's still early! However, the emperor was furious again, and he still decided to wait for him to return to the house, so he asked his cronies to go to Jiangnan to warn Min Feng.

I don't know what He Zhongkuan is doing, he has ordered him to watch Min Feng before, make suggestions on the side, and make correct guidance. If there was anything wrong with Min Feng, he immediately wrote to him.

It's just that now the emperor has received the news, but he is still kept in his bones, how can people not be angry?

Xia Qing thought about it like this, and he was also very dissatisfied with He Zhongkuan. I plan to wait until I come back and think of a way to cure this person.

In the past few years, he has relied too much on He Zhongkuan, and he has seen He Zhongkuan a little fluttering. It's just a staff member, and you really think you're a character?

"Let's not talk about incompetence for the time being, it's just that Min Feng accepted a bribe of one hundred taels of gold, do you know?"

The emperor stared at Xia Qing tightly, and in his old triangular eyes, his eyes were still sharp.

Xia Qing was shocked when he heard this, and accepted bribes? A hundred taels of gold?

His face sank like water, you idiot. When can't you reach out, but at this time?

"What? A hundred taels of gold? Is this Min Attendant really so greedy? As soon as I arrived in Jiangnan, I actually started to make money? I don't know what to say, this matter must be punished severely! ”

"I heard that this Min waiter is from a poor background, and it is normal to meet Qian Yankai. Ay! No, this man shouldn't have been sent in the first place. This official has objected before, you see, now ......"

"Where is the excuse to be born poor? Is there still a shortage of officials from poor backgrounds in our DPRK and China? If you don't say anything else, let's just say that Gu Shaoqing, isn't she also from a farmer? Why didn't people take the opportunity to make money? ”

The hall instantly whispered, and there was a buzz. A few of them didn't think it was a big deal, and even moved out of Gu Chengyu for comparison.

It's okay to make comparisons, but he still said it very loudly, and he had a lot of contempt for Min Feng in his words, which made Xia Qing angry enough!

Xia Qing blew his beard and glared in front of him, he glanced behind him, knowing that it must be these old acquaintances, who would stab him from time to time on weekdays.

Now that this has happened to Min Feng, they will not let go of the opportunity to ridicule him.

Xia Qing forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, now was not the time to pursue these.

"Your Majesty! How could Wechen know about this? It's just that Weichen has a few doubts, and he also asks the emperor to solve his doubts. ”

The emperor bowed slightly, and the smile on his face separated from the flesh and skin, making Xia Qing look at it and feel bottomless.

"Your Majesty, I don't know where this news came from, but there are witnesses and physical evidence? Otherwise, if you don't want to frame anyone, you will frame whomever you want. Besides, who is the bribe-giver? What is the purpose of the other party? ”

The emperor snorted coldly, he really didn't cry when he saw the coffin.

"The person who gave the bribe was Li Taixing of Yingnan Prefecture, and the human and material evidence was there, but he had not been escorted back to Beijing for the time being. You don't need to know where you got the news. As for the purpose, it is very simple, it is related to the leakage of the embankment of the Yingnanfu River. ”

……

"My lord, there are more and more victims outside the city, the villain and Ming Yan went to inspect just now, and many of the victims have been cut off, and even the wild vegetables in a radius of ten miles have been dug up. The two soup kitcheners in the city are no longer visible today. ”

Mingmo hurriedly entered the study and reported with a very solemn face.

Gu Chengyu got up from the circle chair, pondered for a moment and asked, "Is the price of rice in the city expensive again?" ”

Mingmo nodded, "Two days ago, brown rice was thirty wen a catty, but today it has risen to forty wen, and the people are still rushing to it." As soon as the rice shop opened, the people flocked to it, and within a moment, the rice shop was emptied. ”

Jiangnan is rich, and the land is even more fertile. The climate here is warm, rice is mostly grown, and the grain production is much better than that of the northland.

Therefore, every year, the grain in the south of the Yangtze River is transported to other remote state capitals through the Tianya River, which is one of the most important transportation in the Dayan Dynasty.

According to previous years, after paying taxes, the rest should still be enough for your own consumption.

Of course, those who are poor and whose family is only two acres of land are excepted.

At this time last year, the price of brown rice was 8 wen a catty, and now it has risen to 40 wen a catty. And the price of grain in other state capitals has also increased, but it is not as serious as Hangtianfu!

"Or is it the door opened by those two rice shops?" Gu Chengyu touched his chin, and the plan in his heart gradually took shape.

"Exactly, only those two opened their doors to sell rice, and the rest of the rice shops not only did not sell rice, but when the villain asked people to investigate, they also found that they were storing a large amount of grain. Among them, Xia's rice action was the largest, and they even went to the countryside to encourage those people to sell grain. ”
