Step on a branch

Chapter 145
The state of the official roads in Gyeonggi and the lower prefectures, the grain output, and the general situation of the people have been sorted out by Ma Gui and his subordinates through Majia Mizhuang.

After all, he is in the grain business, and Ma Gui knows the location, storage, and general turnover of Da Zhou's granary.

They don't know much about city defense.

But even so, it was enough to send chills down the emperor's spine.

Grain storage is the foundation of a country.

If the people of Xiliang became ruthless and attacked and burned down several large granaries in Dazhou when the harvest was not ready, there would be no need for cavalry to march eastward, and the vitality of Dazhou would be severely damaged.

Da Zhou's lifeblood was tightly held by the Xiliang spies.

This made the emperor angry and afraid.

Looking at another spy, Daoist Xu, there was no mention in the brochure...

The emperor raised his head and asked, "Is your mouth so hard?"

"It's not being stubborn, it's just being stupid," Lin Fan explained, "You can't find out even if you ask him like that."

The emperor leaned against the back of the chair and asked coldly: "You mean, that Xizuo got drunk at the state teacher's place? When the third division met him, the state teacher knocked him unconscious?"

"Yes." Lin Fan said.

The emperor was so angry that he cursed and cast a glance at Eunuch Xu.

Eunuch Xu was terrified, guessed what the emperor meant, and withdrew to look for Master Deng.

Lin Fan said again: "Weng Ke and Hua Neishi earn money from middlemen to go on business trips. I think they should hand it over to each other."

Weng Ke went to the Jingzhao Yamen, and the servants in Hua were in charge of the palace, and the red guards did not exceed their authority.

The emperor agreed.

It was getting late, and the emperor got up and went to court.

He also didn't look for Eunuch Xu, and ordered another servant to host, and the group went to the Golden Luan Hall.

In the early morning, several elders had a quarrel over the issue of details.

Qin Yin still took the lead in the battle, and he opened his mouth to invite Ying.

The emperor gave them a headache from the quarrel, so he simply retreated.

When we returned to the Imperial Study, Deng Guoshi and Eunuch Xu were waiting.

Eunuch Xu went in to wait on him, and Deng Guoshi was called in after being left out for a quarter of an hour.

It has to be said that Deng Guoshi was very anxious at the moment.

What happened yesterday was a mistake from beginning to end.

He was caught off guard by Lin Fan and San Si.

If not, how could he let Daoist Xu get drunk in the house and was bumped into by Sansi?
Something went wrong, he held his breath in his heart, and gave Taoist Xu a whisk, who knew...

Who knew it could make people stupid!
Do not!
wrong!

Just that one blow can make a living person stupid, unless he is a fool in the first place!

Deng Guoshi once heard that the second concubine had been stupid for a few days. Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, it sounded very similar to Taoist Xu's situation.

Nine times out of ten, it was Lin Fan and Qin Luan's tricks.

But he couldn't say this directly to the emperor.

He couldn't make the emperor feel that his morality was no match for that little girl's film.

Of course, anxiety is nothing but anxiety, Master Deng did not panic.

He knew the emperor well, knew what he would face, and didn't have to worry about anything.

"Your Majesty," Deng Guoshi took a deep breath, and said, "Pindao took that detailed work back and interrogated him carefully. His mouth is very hard, even if he tried some methods, he still couldn't pry it open.

Pindao wanted to find another way. Instead of locking him up, he gave him a lot of alcohol every day.

Alcohol can mess up people's minds, and they will also lose their words after drinking. He refused to drink before, but after Pindao left Beijing, he probably relaxed and started to drink.

When Pindao returned to Beijing, he was already contaminated with alcohol and was in a mess.

It's a pity that it was yesterday before Pindao heard his slip of the tongue, alas!

Pindao really felt it was a pity, so he gave it to him, who knew he would be stupid!

Your Majesty, it is because of poor consideration and impulsiveness that...

I hope the emperor will punish me. "

As Deng Guoshi said, he knelt down and put his head deeply on the ground.

The emperor looked at Deng Guoshi coldly.

"Waiting for the secret to make a slip of the tongue after drinking", this statement is true or false, but if Deng Guoshi deliberately made people stupid, the emperor would not believe it.

Just like Weng Ke and Zhao Qi, no matter how angry he was, he wouldn't be so stupid as to believe that they had an affair with Xiliang.

One is one, two is two.

"Sentence?" The emperor said coldly, "What's the use of me doing a foolish job? You continue to work on it for me?"

Deng Guoshi shrank his neck and remained silent.

The emperor said again: "A secret work that needs to be beheaded. You eat and drink as offerings, and let people see it. Your national teacher has a thick skin, and I still want it!"

Deng Guoshi was honest and scolded for a quarter of an hour.

The more fiercely the emperor scolded, the calmer Deng Guoshi felt.

He knows that he is safe.

The emperor took the opportunity to beat him.

It is said that the rabbit is dead and the fox is cooked, but the rabbit is still alive and kicking, how can the fox be killed?

He is that fox, the emperor needs him.

When the emperor was satisfied with the scolding, he would tuck his tail and be honest for a few days. After a while, it was still a good day.

In fact, the emperor was not happy to scold.

He was beating and venting, but the anger in his heart did not dissipate.

He got up and strode out of the imperial study room.

Concubine Shun was resting with her eyes closed. When she heard that the emperor was coming, she quickly got up and tidied up her appearance.

The emperor has not come for many days.

In the past, she must have been happy, but today, Concubine Shun is extremely flustered.

Not daring to say a good word for Weng Ke, she trembled and pleaded guilty: "I was confused for a while, and I was greedy for money."

"Apology?" The emperor glanced at Concubine Shun lightly, "How many crimes are there, please take your time?"

He doesn't want to scold anymore.

Let these sinners scold themselves!
Concubine Shun was startled when she heard the words, she didn't dare to disobey her orders, so she could only bite the bullet and count each case one by one.

Weng Ke was confused, she didn't care enough about her father and brother, so she didn't know they did these things outside; the sisters-in-law came into the palace as soon as something happened, they were not calm enough, and they didn't trust the abilities of Chi Yiwei and San Si... …

The emperor didn't call to stop, Concubine Shun racked her brains, she had no choice but to talk to Zhao Qi from herself, even Hua's waiter delayed going to the yamen for a while, pleading guilty.

After the long speech, Concubine Shun was so worried that she wanted to cry.

What else can I blame?

Do you want to punish all kinds of crimes, big and small, over the years?
Fortunately, the emperor got tired of hearing it and walked away.

Concubine Shun slumped on the couch, dripping with sweat all over her body.

"Mommy," Concubine Shun asked, "I didn't say anything I couldn't say, did I? I'm so confused..."

"You know the emperor, hold your breath in your heart, and just feel comfortable," Yuan Nanny supported her, and said, "The second master is greedy for money and never collaborates with the enemy. The emperor is wise, and he knows."

In the imperial garden, the emperor walked through the corridor.

Head-on, he saw Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu seemed to be waiting here specially, and when she saw him appear, she hurried forward and saluted.

"What's the matter?" the emperor asked.

Concubine Shu sighed: "The concubine came to plead guilty to the emperor."

Hearing this, the emperor frowned.

There are so many people asking for sin today.

The two "forced" ones, the one who pleaded guilty was honest, the first one was honestly scolded, and the latter scolded himself honestly.

"What is the crime of Concubine Shu?" the emperor asked, "tell me."
