The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1041 Change of Face

"I thought that I had been in the officialdom for half my life, and thought that I had seen a lot. Now that I met Governor Sheng, it was indeed an eye-opener!" General Rong snorted angrily.

Sheng Yuan didn't take it seriously. She rarely competed with others verbally. As long as the other party cooperated, it didn't matter.

Unfortunately, General Rong could not be persuaded by just a few words: "I am just the city defender of Zezhou Prefecture. Government affairs are not within my scope of responsibilities. Governor Sheng can just go to the government office and consult with the governor himself. I cannot accompany him!"

"Oh? The turmoil last night was just government affairs in Fucheng? Isn't that obvious?!" Sheng Yuan ignored the other party's intention to see off the guests and asked, "Theft of weapons is not a trivial matter. If the gangsters succeed, they will definitely turn against Fucheng with swords. Even if Fucheng ends up If we take him down, the matter will definitely go to heaven, and the court will definitely punish him for dereliction of duty. But who knows, by then, the general will be able to survive alone?"

"Governor Sheng, don't threaten me! Although the ordnance depot suffered losses, they were very small, and they were all old weapons. Just those few swords can't do anything!" Old General Rong thought of the report he received not long ago, and he was not satisfied He panicked, "Only a few boxes of copper coins were lost from the tax bank, all of which were donated by powerful people."

Speaking of being powerful, General Rong deliberately increased his voice in order to make Sheng Yuan's head clearer.

"But this time I asked someone to replace the newly purchased grain!" Sheng Yuan laughed and sneered, "They attacked on three fronts, false and true, but here in Fucheng, even their shadows were caught. How lucky are they? ? Don’t you know that there are two reasons for this, and it is normal to push for an extra mile; what if the focus next time is on ordnance or tax money?

The imperial court has always been very tolerant of the local garrison. Even the Ministry of Household Affairs is closely monitoring the allocation of funds for the garrison and guard. General Rong's family has a big business, so he does not take these three melons and two jujubes seriously. He just throws away a bow today and loses a bow tomorrow. Crossbow, if a little adds up to a big thing, if it continues, I'm afraid there will be many troubles! "

Sheng Yuan's words were very clear, and General Rong's face became more and more stern when he heard the last word.

The atmosphere in the hall gradually became oppressive as the two sides competed with each other's words.

"That's enough!" General Rong blushed and shouted loudly, interrupting Sheng Yuan's words.

"I, Shengyuan, have received the grace of the Holy Spirit to patrol Zezhou. I appease the place on behalf of the imperial court. I have provided relief to the people for the Holy One. I have purchased grain and transported it thousands of miles away. I do not want to be robbed by bandits. I want to pursue the investigation, but the government officials are incompetent. The garrison generals abide by their duties." , I tried to persuade them in every possible way, but no one accepted them; I wanted to guard against the slightest mistakes, but no one spoke lightly, and I was trapped in the realm of passing the buck, with no ambition..."

How dare you!

General Rong really wanted to point his finger at Sheng Yuan and scold her for being shameless!

"General Rong." Sheng Yuan saw that after he interrupted her, he was just talking about luck and seemed to have no intention to continue talking, so he simply picked up what he had said before and continued to persuade him, "Since ancient times, loyal words have been offensive to the ears, but what I said , I think the general can tell whether it is alarmist or not.

He didn't react at first, and he was still wondering if this girl from the Sheng family was not smart. Why did she keep saying "What's going on with Chen Shengyuan?" as if she had returned to the imperial palace. !

But when he heard what happened later, he suddenly realized, good guy, this Sheng Wenzhen is not smart at all, she is so good at it!

They were telling him the contents of the memorial in front of him in front of him. What they were talking about was the contents of his impeachment in the future!

threaten! This is the threat!

"..." Hearing this, General Rong narrowed his eyes, and a pair of sharp eyes roamed back and forth on Sheng Yuan's face.

Since the floods receded, the city has stepped up patrols, and everyone entering and exiting the city must be registered. I would like to ask, how do those bandits transport old grain in and transport new grain out? Where are the stolen ordnance items hidden?

General Rong, all the clear evidence shows that the bandits are insiders. If you just let them go in this main city, how can you sleep so soundly like a tiger or wolf lying on the side of your bed? "

Sheng Yuan had no pressure on this, lightly dusted his sleeves, and told him: "Of course, if Old General Rong insists on having his own way, there is nothing I can do. After all, I hold the post of governor, not governor. But in this case, then Don’t blame me for not saying hello and finding another foreign aid.”

foreign aid? !

General Rong immediately thought of a map near Nandi. After a tour, he locked the Hanzhou Prefecture.

Not to mention that it is the closest to Zezhou, but the young garrison general, his surname is Lu. Thinking of this, no matter how unwilling he was, General Rong could no longer remain indifferent.

Although he didn't quite understand the temperament of this girl from the Sheng family, he knew her father's temperament. The Yongxing Marquis was a playboy who could be said and done, and it was impossible to say that his daughter would be better than his predecessor.

If Sheng Yuan was asked to mobilize the Hanzhou Prefecture garrison, it would be a small shame for him, a local garrison general. I am afraid that his action of standing still would be neither wrong nor wrong in the eyes of the court and the emperor.

Thinking of this, General Rong shook his molars to adjust his mood, and then suddenly changed his face in a second. The face that was originally so tight that there was no wrinkles suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha, niece, I'm kidding you. ! How can we, the uncle, help you if you need help? "

His laughter was like thunder, making Anyu's ears hurt.

However, Sheng Yuan was not affected and changed her attitude. She changed her previous aura and said with a gentle smile and a humble attitude: "Of course my nephew knows how hard Shi Bo has worked so hard. Now that he has the help of his uncle, I think Fucheng will be able to recover soon." Clear skies!”

"..." Anyu saw that his sister Yuan also changed her title. If he hadn't lost his memory, the scene in front of him seemed to have returned to the time when they first met.

This, this...it was clear that the two of them were about to fall out just now, but in the blink of an eye, the two of them were talking happily, without any resentment at all, as if their relationship was really good!

An Yu, who was shocked and speechless, silently gave a thumbs up to his previous idea.

Sure enough, compared with the two people in front of him, he is really not suitable for officialdom!

……

"Sister Yuan, we both know that the food exchange was not done by bandits at all." On the way to the government office, Anyu whispered to Sheng Yuan in the carriage.

The second batch of grain shipped was indeed new grain, but it was shipped in the same batch as well as old grain that the caravan had purchased cheaply along the way, and I originally wanted to make a supplement.

Just after arriving in Fucheng, the caravan received arrangements to replace new grain with old grain and transport it into the warehouse.

Because this relief grain was purchased by the governor Sheng Yuan, and the first batch of grain that arrived before was all newly harvested, so this time, the warehouse guard did not check it carefully and directly signed for it as new grain.

Previously, the escort sent by the emperor said that they had not taken action, but that they did not have time to make a fuss and did not take the opportunity to expose the Chen Liang matter.

"You said Commander Lin and the others didn't take action, so guess who discovered that the food had been exchanged?!"
