Yu Jun

Chapter 432 Room Value

"Don't drink water." Wu Jin took the water bag from Cheng Ting and placed it under the seat.

Cheng Ting yawned loudly and sat next to Wu Jin, feeling reassured: "I didn't sleep all night last night, and Hui Ran kept me awake. He asked me to go out and watch the door and tell Xiao Huang to sleep for a while."

Wu Jin sat next to him and listened to his complaints. Although the sun had not yet risen, the ground was already getting hot. Coupled with the hot Cheng Ting, he was sweating while sitting in the carriage.

He listened to Cheng Ting's trivial household affairs and imagined the joys, sorrows and joys between the couple getting along day and night. It was not all about you and me, but also bickering and quarrels over daily necessities. Even the dog in his house was very lively.

It was equally lively outside the carriage, and the voices of the people on the street were like boiling porridge, ringing in the ears, reminding people of the prosperous and peaceful scene.

There was also a lot of noise in the duty room outside the palace gate.

The duty room was not divided into east and west wings, but a large duty room, in which all the civil and military officials could be accommodated. There was an imperial chair in the middle of the room. No one dared to sit on it. At the bottom of the imperial chair, there were several armchairs facing each other on the left and right. Huang Yunshu Sitting across from Cheng Taishan, both of them were in high spirits and full of anger.

Huang Yunshu didn't smile at all and asked directly: "Zheng Chongzheng, the price of rice is almost as good as that in the disaster years. For the sake of our friendship, I will return the note to you when you go back." Consider it carefully."

"Who the hell wants to be romantically involved with you! I've told you eight hundred times that this batch of grain was bought by the spies sent to the capital of Jokhang to take advantage of others!"

"Spy or not, it's all your mouth. How can I know the truth?"

Cheng Taishan was so angry that he couldn't even speak. He slapped the table hard. The other people in the check-in room were trembling with fright. They stepped forward to break up the fight, but were afraid of hurting Chi Yu. Cheng Taishan's hand was quite strong. Even if he didn't hit, It doesn't feel good even if you rub it.

"I told you it's a spy! A spy! I've made it clear to you about the spies, so I might as well go to Fufeng Mountain and tell the world who the spies are!"

Huang Yunshu immediately said: "Then you have to convince me."

Cheng Taishan spread his hands: "How can I convince you that I'll send you over there to see for yourself?"

"I don't care about this. Anyway, the money spent from my person, Huang, must be clearly accounted for!"

Cheng Taishan made him so angry that he was speechless. He had never been so depressed in his life. He wanted to beat Huang Yunshu up, but it was impossible. In the end, he swallowed his anger and leaned back: "You know nothing!"

There was no ice basin in the check-in room, and he was sweating profusely from the heat. He reached out and pulled hard on his clothes, picked up the tea on the small table and took a sip, spitting out a tea stem.

Nomad Qing and Zhong Tao, who were affiliated with Chongzhengyuan, also glared at Huang Yunshu and the others. Yin Nan sat in his chair and wandered around, making the atmosphere on duty even more embarrassing.

Qi Wenbing quietly slipped out and looked outside.

Hou Fuzhong followed him out and asked in a low voice: "Why hasn't Wu Xiang come yet?"

It seems that with the arrival of Wu Jin, the contradiction between the civil and military houses will be eliminated.

Qi Wenbing shook his folding fan wildly and loosened his clothes. Before he could say anything, there was the sound of a carriage rolling over the bluestone. He ran a few steps outside and saw two forbidden soldiers moving horse stools. Needless to say, I also know that it is Wu Mansion's carriage.

He hurried into the check-in room: "Master Wu Xiang is here."

There was a sudden silence in the room, and the tense atmosphere relaxed. Everyone knew that Wu Jin was well-dressed and did not dare to slack off no matter how hot it was. He hurriedly put on his right-angled turban and smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes.

Huang Yunshu was afraid that Cheng Taishan would complain first, so he ran out the door first and looked at the carriage.

The carriage had stopped, and officials came out in an endless stream, standing upright. Then a hand opened the curtain, and it was Cheng Ting who emerged from inside. Cheng Ting jumped directly to the ground without using the horse stool. When he looked up, he saw his sworn enemy - Qi Wenbing, the former professor of arithmetic and arithmetic in the state.

"Deputy Ambassador Qi——"

Just as he was about to say hello warmly, he saw Cheng Taishan coming out of the check-in room and looking at him coldly and fiercely. It was obvious that as long as he dared to embarrass himself, Cheng Taishan would dare to ask him to become a monk on the spot.

He immediately turned into a saw-mouthed gourd, stood beside the carriage with his tail between his legs, and lifted the curtain for Wu Jin.

Wu Jin got out of the carriage and stepped on the horse stool with one leg. Like Huang Yunshu and Cheng Taishan, he also had a right-angled futou, a purple round-necked wide-sleeved blouse, a white jade leather belt around his waist, and black leather boots. Although he was sitting on The carriage came, but his clothes were not messed up and his face was clean.

He did not look at his colleagues who were bowing and saluting, but first looked at the gate of the city tower and palace. On the ridge, a huge bright moon was sinking. At this moment, heaven, earth and the palace intersected. There were nine hundred and eighty-one golden nails in the vertical and horizontal directions. Shine.

Behind the city tower, there is a majestic palace, a jade hall with golden horses, a gorgeous watch supporting the sky, and a spiritual flag shining on the water. It is the place where the Daqi'an State is established and where the queen receives her destiny.

Wu Jin withdrew his gaze, turned around and went to the direct room with his colleagues. Huang Yunshu once again got ahead of Cheng Taishan and followed Wu Jin loudly.

Wu Jin walked and listened. After listening, he sat down in the Taishi's chair, comforted Huang Yunshu with a few words, and asked Cheng Taishan to go down and tell him about the spies in detail.

Everyone fell silent, sitting or standing, listening to what he had to say.

"The tabloid arrived last night. The Wude Department of Jokhang reported that Lü Zhongnong, the envoy of the Third Department, used his power to embezzle 40% of the tax revenue from ten states. He also used clever names to engage in excessive corruption and hid more than ten treasuries of gold and silver. The Emperor of Jokhang was furious and handed Lü Zhongnong over to Wude. The interrogator will report it directly to Zhao Zhan. His Majesty already knows about this matter. If your Majesty asks, you should be aware of it."

The man on duty looked surprised. He put aside the dispute between Huang and Cheng and pondered Wu Jin's words carefully.

Lu Zhongnong is a veteran of the Three Divisions and has never been reported to have engaged in any harsh behavior. Wu Desi suddenly reported this. Is it a false accusation, or does Lu Zhongnong really have so much gold and silver?

Someone asked the question in their mind.

Huang Yunshu shook his head: "False accusations are of no use to Dazhao. If Wudesi dared to report, he must have obtained evidence, but it was too sudden."

Cheng Ting's mouth was as fast as Huang Yunshu's. Standing at the end, his voice was very loud: "Now they have money in the treasury!"

Rough words are not rough.

Cheng Taishan looked solemn: "The Jokhang Emperor's move is to regulate the officialdom, enrich the treasury, and save the people's hearts. I'm afraid the next step is to equalize taxes and servitude, which is not a good thing for us."

Wu Jin nodded: "Don't worry too much. This will enrich the country but not the people, and it will be too eager for success. Using the Wude Department too much will make the monarch and his ministers more discordant. The rules of the court and the civil and military officials are all controlled by the Wude Department." In the hands, it will be effective in a short period of time, but as time goes by, the disadvantages will appear.”

Everyone nodded, knowing that they had some knowledge of the matter. When His Majesty asked, they would not be left in the dark about everything.

The copper bell rang in the palace door. The hour had come. The palace door opened. The civil and military squadron in the duty room kept silent. Under the leadership of Wu Jin, they walked out of the duty room, divided into two rows, and walked slowly into the palace.

　Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. I wish my readers a smooth New Year and good wishes. I will also take a day off tomorrow to celebrate the New Year with peace of mind.
