Luan's return today

Chapter 29 Everyone should pay the price for what they have done

"I'm Jiang Yue, and I'm the capital water department in Jiangnan this time." Jiang Yue revealed her identity, then stood up, and revealed the official seal, "Don't worry, I will investigate this matter myself. As you said, I will definitely give an explanation to Jiangnan."

Su Ze's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it, "Jiang Yue? Princess Zhaohua? The general who just quelled the war?"

Jiang Yue nodded.

Su Ze's heart was surging. He admired Jiang Yueduo, and there were many heroic deeds of her marching and fighting at home. How could he not be excited to see a real person now.

"Since you are a general, you must know what you say. Su believes in you!"

Jiang Yue smiled slightly, "Go back to Jiangnan with me during this trip. I will investigate the matter in front of you, but I will let Li Xing change your appearance for you, so as not to startle the snake."

Su Ze also understood this truth, thinking that after someone finally punished those corrupt officials in Jiangnan, there was no one who would not agree, so he nodded quickly.

"Also, how many things have you robbed from other people, and how much is it in taels of silver?"

Unable to hold back, Su Ze turned his face to the side and cautiously stretched out three fingers, "Ahem... three... 3000 taels..."

When Jiang Yue heard it, she accidentally choked on her saliva and coughed violently, "3000 taels?"

Su Ze was even more ashamed of Jiang Yue's reaction, but still nodded.

"You guys have done some great things!" Jiang Yue couldn't help muttering, then turned her head and shouted, "Mingyu."

Ming Yu and Jiang Yue had already cultivated a tacit understanding. With a dark face, he took out a 3000 tael bank note from the room and handed it to Su Ze, "Here!"

"This is?" Su Ze didn't understand what it meant.

Jiang Yue took a sip of tea and said lightly, "I'll give you half a month to use the 3000 taels to compensate those who were robbed by you, and apologize to them in person."

"A man should know what to do and what not to do. You have gone astray in this matter. No matter how they treat you, you should admit that this is the consequence you should bear for yourself. .”

Su Ze didn't refute, he nodded, he did make a mistake in this matter.

Seeing Su Ze nodding, Jiang Yue continued, "I didn't give you the 3000 taels. It's just based on what you said. You have come to this point and have nothing to do with the imperial court. This is the imperial court's account for you."

With a sudden turn, Jiang Yue's tone was severe, "If this officer finds out that the facts are not what you said during this trip, then you will naturally have to bear the consequences."

After Su Ze heard this, he immediately raised his hand and swore to the sky, "I, Su Ze, swear to the sky, if there is even half a lie, I will make everything wrong in my life, and everything will not go my way after I die."

Jiang Yue nodded, "After this matter is over, I will come to Jiangnan, and I will ask Lixing to pick you up outside the city."

Su Ze responded, and went out with the silver taels.

Jiang Yue kept staring at Su Ze's back, and did not look back until he disappeared around the corner.

After the test just now, Jiang Yue believed half of what Su Ze said. At least the remaining 20 dans of food did not reach the people in the south of the Yangtze River, but how could the food disappear out of thin air?
Jiang Yue's fingers kept twisting her sleeves, her mind spinning rapidly.

A terrible idea suddenly popped up in her heart, could it be corruption?Moreover, there are quite a few corrupt people, otherwise they would not have been completely concealed, and they would not have heard a single bit of news from Beijing.

Where did this food disappear from?Has it never been shipped to Jiangnan?Or was it received by officials in the Jiangnan disaster relief?

"General, Li Gu is here."

Suddenly Mingyu's voice appeared in Jiang Yue's ear, Jiang Yue regained consciousness, put away the expression on her face, and said please hurry up.

She wanted to go to Li Gu when she was in better health, but she didn't expect that Li Gu came to visit her first.

"Master Jiang, you finally woke up, are you in good health?"

Seeing Jiang Yue wake up, Li Gu smiled and walked towards him enthusiastically. During this day's relationship, he already knew from Li Xing and the others that the benefactor in front of him was surnamed Jiang.

"It's not in the way anymore." Jiang Yue gave her a kind smile, "Master Li doesn't have to be so ignorant. My name is Zhao, just call me Ah Zhao. I don't know if Mr. Li's affairs can be handled properly?"

"That's fine, since that's the case, Azhao, don't call me the boss anymore, I'm older than you, so just call me Brother Li." Li Gu was not polite, he was very easy-going, "Most of them have been dealt with, and the boat has been repaired, so we can set off today."

Jiang Yue nodded, and the two of them chatted about some daily life, but Jiang Yue clearly sensed Li Gu's absent-mindedness, and saw that his face was a little hesitant, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if there was something difficult to say.

"Brother Li, is there something embarrassing for you? But it doesn't matter."

Seeing Jiang Yue speak like this, Li Gu clenched his fists and made up his mind, so he no longer twitched and spoke directly.

"Azhao, I just don't understand why you let the water bandit leader go? Don't you want him to harm other people again?"

Li Gu was worried that Jiang Yue might misunderstand him, so he hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean anything else, you saved our boat crew, so naturally it's up to you to decide how to deal with these bandits, I just can't figure it out."

When Jiang Yue heard this, it turned out that this was the case. She thought that when Su Ze went out just now, she happened to meet Li Gu.

She poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Li Gu, made a gesture of invitation, and then slowly opened her mouth, telling Su Ze's identity and what happened.

Of course, Jiang Yue only picked and picked and said something, and things like those Jiangnan officials should naturally remain silent.

When Li Gu heard it, he understood instantly, and said with emotion, "So that's the case, I didn't expect that the bandit leader is actually from the Jiangnan Su Family Embroidery Workshop, but the disaster happened, so I can't blame him."

After knowing the reason, Li Gu no longer entangled with this matter, and instead mentioned, "We can leave at any time. I don't know where Ah Zhao needs to go. Brother Li can send me a ride."

After listening to Li Xing's persuasion, Li Gu did not intend to continue to Danyang County, and was going to return home. He is also a person who knows how to repay him. to the destination.

"Since that's the case, thank you Brother Li first, we are planning to go to Jiangnan."

Hearing Jiang Yue's answer, Li Gu hurriedly persuaded, "It's absolutely impossible to go here, Azhao, you also know that there are frequent floods in the south of the Yangtze River, and people like Su Ze have fallen into such a field, what are you doing?" Why can't you think about it, go to that place."

Er...Jiang Yue didn't know how to explain to Li Gu, she couldn't just tell someone her real identity when she saw someone, besides, she had told Li Gu's pseudonym just now, wasn't this a slap in the face?
