The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 976 Looking for a Backer

If this matter is reported to the public, Qian Huichun will naturally be exonerated from part of the crime, and will be able to make meritorious deeds.Maybe the imperial court will be lenient and spare his life.

But the matter involved a lot, and he was actually involved.Even though he only drank the soup for those silver coins, he still stretched out his hand after all.

If the court pursues it, then he himself has to bear the blame!

At that time, what is the difference between severity and severity?And because of the flood, the crime was added to the crime, and finally counted and punished!
What's more, if he opened his mouth, those officials would not spare him.

He was afraid that before the imperial court had time to investigate, he would have already died at the hands of others.

If you expose, he will die; if you don't expose, he may die as well.

Chen Zhao is Qian Huichun's confidant, of course he understands what the adults are hesitating about.

Because back then, when the lord was cooperating with those people, it wasn't that he didn't accept the benefits.

"My lord! You have to think twice! If you don't expose it, we will be very guilty!"

Chen Zhao was a little anxious, so he couldn't help reminding.

"Then if we expose it, we can be exempted from responsibility? This matter has implicated those court officials in the capital. If we really expose it, those ministers will not let us go. Maybe we will die faster!"

Chen Zhao suddenly realized what he said, and broke out in a cold sweat.

yes!He still thinks too simply.

Just now he always thought that the adults were timid and didn't dare to go too far, and the little money he got was not worth mentioning compared to those people.

But he overlooked one point, those people are all ruthless people.

If they said it, would they still be able to live?

Just as Chen Zhao wanted to speak, he suddenly thought, "That's not right! My lord, even if we don't say anything about this, those people won't let us go!"

Chen Zhao was anxious, and stared at Qian Huichun, as if Qian Huichun was his life-saving straw.

"Of course I understand that when the capital finds out about this, they will definitely be on pins and needles. As long as we live, they won't be able to sleep at night. Therefore, we must find a backer."

Qian Huichun has a plan, but he has a flood at this moment, who dares to protect him from those high-ranking officials in Beijing?

No one dared to take such a big risk to protect him!Besides, it is of no benefit to protect him at this time, on the contrary, it will cause trouble for the upper body.

"My lord, have you already found a backer? At this juncture, who will support us?"

Chen Zhao's heart suddenly relaxed, and he knew that the lord would definitely be able to think of a way.

"You also understand our current situation. If we don't pay some price, how can we find a way out? Backer? Being able to be our backer is naturally because we have something we can use."

Qian Huichun said earnestly.

He originally wanted to keep this item for promotion in the future, but now he has to take it out.

In the middle of the night, there was a flapping sound of wings, and Ming Yan hurried forward to check.

Now that Fei Ge passed on the letter, it could only be Ding Shiliu and the others from Jiangnan.

The lord ordered Ding Shiliu and the others to go to several state capitals in the south of the Yangtze River, for the Tianya River.

Two days ago, the adults had ordered Ding Shiliu and the others to draw a map of Linjiang.

My lord was waiting to use it urgently, but Jiangnan is about 2000 miles away from the capital.

Among them, the mountains and gullies are steep and the rivers block the road. The real calculation is far more than 2000 miles.

What's more, the difficulties and obstacles on the road are immeasurable, so we can only use flying pigeons to pass letters.

Even homing pigeons have to fly for three days to reach the capital.

The bamboo tubes on the feet of the pigeons were removed, and the pigeons were given water and food.

Ming Yan opened the bamboo tube and found that it was indeed a map of Linjiang.

"My lord! There is news from Jiangnan!"

My lord said that as long as it is a letter from Jiangnan, no matter how late it is, you must report it to him immediately.

Ming Yan lit all the candles, and the room suddenly brightened up a lot.

Gu Chengyu unfolded the note in his hand and found that it was the map of Changtian Mansion.

Changtian Mansion is close to the lower reaches of the Tianya River. If there is a place where the embankment is most likely to burst, it is naturally Changtian Mansion.

Gu Chengyu followed the note, while carefully recalling and comparing the map at the prince's place, while drawing.

Although what he saw at the prince's place before was fairly detailed, it was definitely not as comprehensive as what he had in hand now.

After all, this copy was copied on the spot, so it must be more accurate than the prince's.

On the third day, after his dismissal, as soon as Gu Chengyu returned to the mansion, Ming Yan hurried into the study.

"My lord! Another letter!" After a while, Ming Yan came over with a note.

Gu Chengyu thought it was a map of another state capital, so he quickly took it.

When he opened the note, Gu Chengyu's face suddenly changed.

I saw the above writing: "The lower reaches of Changtianfu broke the embankment, submerged several villages, and hundreds of people died in the flood!"

There were only a few words, but the content in them horrified Gu Chengyu, who did not expect what he was worried about to happen.

Gu Chengyu frowned and pondered, wondering if the emperor had any news now.

He only received the map yesterday, and news of the flood came today, so it can be seen that the two messages were not long apart.

It was still because of the delay on the road. Although it was a letter sent by Feige, it still took three or four days.

Maybe the palace has already received the news, because the prefect of Changtian Mansion should pass the news to the capital as soon as possible.

"Get ready for the carriage and go to Yin's Mansion!" He had to go to Yin's Mansion to inquire about news, but he couldn't enter the palace at this time.

Because the palace will be locked when the time comes, unless the emperor personally summons him, he cannot enter at all.

Even if you have an urgent matter, you have to wait for the notification.

Moreover, Gu Chengyu's rank is low, so those people must have been procrastinating if they just went to the gate of the palace to hand over the sign, so they didn't have to waste a lot of time.

It's better to let Yin Kun pass the sign. Since this happened, it is natural to send officials to Changtian Mansion to preside over the overall situation.

He was in such a hurry to enter the palace because he wanted to satisfy his conscience!

The carriage headed towards Yin's mansion, but halfway there, Gu Chengyu suddenly changed his mind.

"Go to the gate of the palace, I want to pass the sign to enter the palace!"

Gu Chengyu's eyes were dimmed, and it took a lot of talking to find Yin Kun.

Ming Mo drove the carriage carefully through the crowd, there are quite a lot of people in the market now.

After a quarter of an hour, the carriage finally stopped at the gate of the palace.

Gu Chengyu jumped out of the carriage as soon as the carriage stopped.

Holding the tooth card in his hand, he stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Please inform me, I have something important to report to the emperor!"

Seeing this, the two guards guarding the palace gate looked at each other.

One of them took the tooth card and found that Gu Chengyu, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, was written above, and an official position was written below, which was the Chancellor of Zhan Shifu.

Gu Chengyu is quite polite to these two, but don't underestimate these two guards.

If you don't have any financial background, it's not easy to get into the Jingwei Command and Envoy Division.

Although these two are just bodyguards, they are most likely collateral descendants of a family in the capital.
