Dayong Nu sentenced to death

Chapter 138

"It's a natural disaster, but according to Master Huizhi, the Ninglanxia Dam on the upper reaches of the Minjiang River broke its embankment, which is something else."

As soon as Yan Yun finished speaking, Su Rao asked, "Why does he know this?"

"Because his surname is Cheng."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Jifeng's face changed slightly, and he looked at Yan Yun in shock, "Surnamed Cheng? If I remember correctly, the foreign capital Shui Cheng who was killed by furious refugees for embezzling embankment silver was also surnamed." Cheng, is there any relationship between these two?"

"Huizhi's original name was Cheng Zhao, and he was the younger brother of Cheng Nan, the former foreign capital. After four years of Qianding, the Cheng mansion was destroyed after the flood in Yunzhou. At this point, all thoughts are lost, and I shaved my hair to become a monk, and this past was also buried."

Countless people were killed and injured in the flood in Yunzhou, and countless houses were destroyed. After the disaster, hunger and plagues were rampant, like a purgatory on earth.

This is not only the death of Yunzhou, but also the death of the entire court.

Yan Yun also felt heartbroken when he first heard about it.

Su Rao is different from him, she is the one who really experienced that disaster. At that time, her father was weak, caught cold and plagued by epidemics, and almost failed to survive...

If it's a natural disaster, it's fine, if it's a man-made disaster...

Her eyes froze suddenly.

But the anger is the anger, she is still rational, "What is Huizhi trying to do with Song Daiyan's account books?"

Their presence was an accident.

If there is no such accident, in what direction will the situation develop?
"He wants to threaten Song Daiyan with this, and let him go to the court to thoroughly investigate the corruption case."

The appearance of their group made him change his mind.

Su Rao sneered when she heard the words: "Naive."

He thought that seizing the account book meant seizing Song Daiyan's weakness. Unfortunately, how could someone like Song Daiyan be threatened by him?

It's just a waste of life.

"You little girl speaks too harshly, but what you say is the truth."

Zhou Jifeng said with emotion: "If there is really a problem with that case, the people involved must be big shots in Yunzhou."

"Speaking of this case, I have some impressions."

"Yunzhou is rainy, with dense waterways, and has been plagued by floods all year round. To solve this problem, the imperial court specially approved a large amount of money to build the Ninglanxia Dam. However, the year after the completion of the dam, it encountered unprecedented heavy rain and collapsed immediately. "

Zhou Jifeng spoke very softly, and his slowly rising and falling tone seemed to be telling a story, "At the beginning, the imperial court threatened that the existence of this dam would keep Yunzhou peaceful for several years, so that the counties and counties in the lower levels relaxed their precautions against floods, and eventually a catastrophe occurred. disaster."

"At that time, I suspected that someone had tampered with the dam. Later, when the imperial court issued an order to inquire about crimes, several officials were implicated. The most serious crime was this Foreign Capital Shuicheng."

"He once came to Qing County to check the river, and I have met him a few times."

"What do Master Zhou think of this person?"

Su Rao asked.

Zhou Jifeng thought about it carefully, and said after deliberation: "Humble and gentle, good at speaking, but in this officialdom, there are always two skins, who can see through the other."

"Master Yan intends to inspect the southern border this time. If you have any doubts, you can check it out. Although they are all old cases, so many people can't die without knowing why."

"Master Zhou said that the officer will pay more attention to this case."

"Yunzhou is not peaceful. If your lord encounters any trouble in the future, if there is a place where the lower officials can help, just ask."

"Then thank you, Mr. Zhou."

The old and the young looked at each other and smiled, then slowly raised their heads, and all looked at the smiling and compassionate Buddha statue.

Dim light came in through the gap in the window and fell on several people. Zhou Jifeng smiled and sighed softly: "Fortunately, it was you who came."

There are countless officials in the imperial court, but if they want to withstand this layer of pressure and reorganize the filthy officialdom, it is not a decree that can be done.

You must have a firm heart, a bright mind, and be sympathetic to the kindness of the people.

And...a powerful backer!

These conditions are indispensable, and the young man in front of him has everything.

Yan Yun pursed his thin lips when he heard the words, and looked at the Buddha statue that he used to see almost every day, unexpectedly saw a trace of tenderness from that always compassionate and indifferent expression.

Perhaps it is not the Buddha who has changed.

but him.

Out of the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the light-colored figure next to him. The woman raised her chin slightly, and looked up at them, with a smile on her lips but with curiosity, carelessness, and indifference...

And a hint of imperceptible... ridicule!
If so, Yan Yun also felt that this picture was particularly vivid, as if it had injected a touch of spring into his dull and lonely life for several years...

He narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly, and said in a low voice, "Yes, fortunately I'm here."

Zhou Jifeng glanced sideways at him, then at Su Rao who was not far away from him, thinking of the rumors in the market, a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

After the turmoil in Yunzhou is over, it's time for Shengjing to have some fun.

It's a pity he can't see his old bones.

The Qing County government office was busy with affairs, and the ins and outs of the two murder cases had been investigated clearly. Zhou Jifeng didn't want to stay for long, so he bid farewell to Yan Yun after a rough lunch, and led the yamen servants back.

The security in the temple was lifted, and the pilgrims could move freely, but because the abbot died, it would be difficult to hold the Buddha Festival, so they left the mountain one after another when they got the news.

In the Garan courtyard.

The monk brought lunch, and Su Rao and Yan Yun had just picked up the chopsticks when Zhu Yan walked in quickly, "Report to my lord, there is a reply over there."

"Say."

"Mu Tianfeng's body is gone."

After Zhu Yan finished speaking, he took a careful look at his master's expression, but it was a pity that he was neither sad nor happy as usual, and there was no disturbance.

"understood."

As he spoke, he picked up some root vegetables and started eating.

Su Rao pressed her forehead lightly, and seeing the solemn atmosphere in the room, she smiled and said: "It is said that good fortune lies in misfortune, and misfortune lies in blessing. When Mu Tianfeng died earlier, the clue of the foreign country was completely broken, and a large number of fine iron And the whereabouts of the gold ore are unknown, and we are still worried about it, can't we look down again now?"

"That's right."

Zhu Yan immediately agreed, "That guy is chasing us so hard, and he is trying to find the account book. It is strange to say, why is he, a foreigner, so obsessed with this account book?"

He said it casually but hit the point.

The account book records Song Daiyan's account of setting up a private mine and sharing profits with the nobles in Shengjing City. What's the use of him coming?
Threatening Song Daiyan?
What can a person who has lost his status as a county prefect and become a prisoner have anything to do, but if it wasn't for Song Daiyan, then his goal...

"Maybe it has something to do with that nobleman in Shengjing."

Su Rao fiddled with the rice grains in the bowl with chopsticks, and after she finished speaking casually, she took a spoon and poured some mushroom soup into the rice...

Rice grains swell when exposed to water, making them full.

full……

Zhu Yan accidentally caught a glimpse of this bowl of soup and rice, and couldn't help but roll his Adam's apple. Why does this thing look familiar...
