Han family achievements

Chapter 200 Loyal and treacherous
Listening to Liu Bian's questioning, Fu Wan said, "Judging from the report of the investigation, the suspicion is very high."

He was not involved in the case, and he spoke very easily, but he couldn't stand the sun and was sweating profusely.

Liu Bian glanced at the memorial again, his eyes were indifferent, and his mind was quick to care.

The "New Deal" has been implemented for nearly a year, and autumn grain is an important node for him to test the results!

No one can destroy it!

"check!"

Liu Bian raised his head to look at Fu Wan, and said in a deep voice: "Yushitai, Xingcao, and Hucao are investigated separately, let me find out as soon as possible!"

"The minister leads the decree!" Xun Yu quickly raised his hand and said after he finished his bow.

Liu Bian was still worried, and said, "About the autumn tax, Hu Cao needs to make a careful overall plan, and I want to see the actual grain entering the warehouse!"

A trace of seriousness appeared on Xun Yu's old-fashioned face, and he said, "The minister leads the decree!"

Liu Bian took a deep breath, waved his hands, and said, "You guys go."

After speaking, he strode out of the palace.

Xun Yu and Fu Wan didn't let go until Liu Bian walked away.

Fu Wan, who originally thought it had nothing to do with him, realized the seriousness of the matter, looked at Xun Yu with a smile, and asked tentatively, "Xun Shangshu, what do you think of this matter?"

Xun Yu looked at Fu Wan and was silent for a while, then said, "Zhongcheng, is there only this impeachment memorial?"

Fu Wan was stunned for a moment, slapped his forehead, and said, "I'm confused, I'll go back and check."

Seeing that Fu Wan was walking in a hurry, Xun Yu frowned imperceptibly.

He had a clear premonition that this matter was extraordinary!

Liu Bian left the palace and went straight to the North Temple Prison of Huangmen.

With a blank expression on his face, he entered the innermost 'secret room', looked at a pile of official documents, playbooks, letters, etc., and waved away the nervous Si Cheng.

Liu Bian looked at the letters, official documents, and memorials, and gradually had a clear understanding of the situation in Jing, Yang, and Jiaozhi.

"Yan Liang also came out?"

"This Zhang He is really not simple."

"How did Yu Jin get to Lujiang..."

"Shi Xie is the prefect of Jiaozhi... Shi Yi is also the prefect of Hepu, Shi Wu is the prefect of Jiuzhen, and Shi Wu is also the prefect of Nanhai... Good guy, among the nine counties of Cozhi, the Shi family occupies four of them..."

"Yuan Shu is recruiting Shi Xie?"

Liu Bian watched and talked to himself, leaned back subconsciously, and sat back abruptly.

He forgot that this was not his study.

After thinking carefully for a long time, Liu Bian sorted out these official documents and playbooks, sealed them in the alley box again, got up and left.

Pan Yin followed closely behind, constantly looking at the North Temple Prison of Huangmen from the corner of his eye.

It was the first time for him to come here since Huangmen North Temple Prison was moved outside the palace. The place was dark and gloomy, and the people inside were sneaky, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Liu Bian returned to the palace and went straight to Yong'an Palace.

Tang Ji hadn't woken up yet, and the two little ones were fast asleep. Liu Bian stayed with her until dark, saw that she was still awake, and left quietly.

When he came to the study room, Liu Bian ate something casually and began to review the playbook. He didn't let out a sigh of relief until he finished processing everything. He looked up and saw that the sky was getting brighter, but he didn't feel sleepy.

After taking a sip of herbal tea, Liu Bian thought about some situations in Jiangdong again.

Sitting quietly for a while, his eyes flickered slightly, picked up a pen, and wrote the word 'Shi Xie' on the paper.

The Shi family's influence in Jiaozhi is too great, and almost half of it is their Shi family's territory.

"Should be put to good use..."

Liu Bian leaned on the chair, rubbed the jade pendant in his hand, and said, "Xu Yan."

Xu Yan, who was dozing off, was startled suddenly, woke up, and hurried forward, saying: "The villain is here."

Liu Bian glanced at him and said, "Speak to Zuo Li and order him to let it out that the imperial court wants to change Jiaozhi to be Jiaozhou and Shi Xie to be the governor of Jiaozhou."

"Yes, the villain will do it now." Xu Yan responded, turned around and left quickly.

Liu Bian looked at the word 'Shixie' in black and white, and after a while, he turned to the map on the wall beside him and landed on the 'Julu' of Jizhou.

Huangfu Jianchang and Zhao Yun's behavior of stealing the house objectively stimulated the Black Mountain Army, and the situation in Jizhou will become more severe.

"Ying Shao, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun..."

Liu Bian stared at the 'Julu' and whispered to himself.Then his eyes moved and landed on Qingzhou. After staring for a long time, he said in a low voice: "Cao Cao..."

Before he knew it, Cao Cao had rapidly grown into a force to be reckoned with!

For the next three days, Liu Bian would either handle government affairs in Jingfu Hall, or spend time with his wife and children, and his life was relatively easy.

That night, Chen Gong's mansion.

Chen Gong, who is in his early thirties, has been very energetic and accomplished a lot since he took office as the Luoyang magistrate. The evaluation from the government and the opposition is rarely positive among Luoyang officials who have a negative score.

But at this moment, he was not at all happy. He was sitting in the gazebo in the backyard with a solemn expression, concentrating on annotating "Zuo Zhuan".

The weather was hot, and his head was sweating more and more, as if he didn't notice it, every stroke was meticulous.

"Master." At an unknown time, a servant stepped forward quietly and said in a low voice.

Chen Gong kept drawing, and said, "What is it?"

"Henan Prime Minister Zhao Bi is here," said the servant.

Chen Gong raised his head sharply, then looked at the handwriting that was smudged by accident, but ignored it, and hurriedly said: "Please hurry up."

The servant responded and ran out of the pavilion.

Chen Gong's breathing became short of breath, his eyes were cold, and a ruthless look flashed across his eyes.

Not long after, a 45-[-] middle-aged man came over under the guidance of a servant, and his steps were quite eager.

"I've met Brother Chen." Zhao Bi approached, raised his hand solemnly and said.

Chen Gong didn't hold back, raised his hand, motioned for him to enter the pavilion, and said, "Brother Zhao, please."

Zhao Bi nodded, and the two sat opposite each other, but neither of them spoke for a while.

Henan Yin is both a place name and an official name. Henan Yin was originally called Henan County, with Luoyang and Henan counties under it.Luoyang governs the capital city and Henan governs the royal city.

And because Luoyang County is within the capital city and has a special status, it is difficult for Henan Yin to rule, so Henan Yin has served as the captain of Sili in all dynasties.

In terms of official system, Henan Cheng is higher than Luoyang Ling.

Zhao Bi and Chen Gong looked at each other for a while, as if mustering courage, opened their eyes wide and said: "Brother Chen, after my investigation, the missing more than 5000 shi of grain should have been corrupted by the species."

Chen Gong was not surprised, and said: "How did the five thousand stones of grain disappear? Why didn't Han Bin, the captain of Zhisu, ignore it?"

Zhao Bi struggled, his brows were tightened and loosened repeatedly, and he said after a while: "I don't know the details. Brother Chen, don't pursue it. I can discuss it with Zhong Ji, and let it go. He won't impeach you anymore, you. And don’t get entangled.”

Chen Gong had already seen that Zhao Bi's expression was not right, and his face gradually became dull, he said: "I don't believe that Brother Zhao is in the same league with them, even if I think about it, Brother Zhao has something to hide, if I don't force Brother Zhao, just pretend that Brother Zhao didn't come tonight. "

Zhao Bi looked surprised, and quickly said: "Brother Chen, it's good to be an official in the same dynasty, and you are safe and sound, isn't it? You should know that Zhong Ji was recommended by the prime minister, and he was personally named and placed in Henan Yin. You can't beat him." .”

Chen Gong shook his head, and said: "It's not that I don't understand. It's because Brother Zhao can't see the situation clearly. The Shangshutai, Yushitai, and Ertai are all watching this matter, and they keep sending people to investigate. Yesterday I was called into Shangshu After questioning for an hour, do you think this matter will be resolved?"

Zhao Bi looked even more hesitant, hesitant to speak.

It was natural for Chen Gong to be investigated. As a Shangguan, the imperial court had to do nothing to impeach Zhong Ji.And in the same way, the imperial court will not listen to one-sided words.

People from Yushitai, Li Cao, and Xun Cao came to Henan Yin one after another, and the officials, big and small, were questioned seven or eight times. This kind of "grand occasion" has not been seen for many years.

Chen Gong looked at him, slowly picked up the teacup, and took a sip.

Seeing that Chen Gong had no intention of backing down, Zhao Bi's face changed for a long time, finally sighed, and said, "That's all. I'll tell Brother Chen clearly, the Yellow River flooded, and there were countless victims. The five thousand stones were used for disaster relief." gone."

Chen Gong was startled again and again, he had thought of many possibilities, but he hadn't thought about this one!

Immediately, he said: "The disaster relief is under the coordination of the imperial court, and it is a serious crime to embezzle the autumn grain that has not been put into storage!"

Zhao Bi smiled wryly, and said: "Wait for the autumn grain to be put into the warehouse, and then allocated from Taicang. It will take at least a month or two. We can afford to wait, can the victims of the disaster afford to wait?"

Chen Gong's expression moved, some words that he wanted to reprimand, but he couldn't say them when they came to his lips.

Changing places, perhaps, he will do the same!

Seeing Chen Gong's intentional expression, Zhao Bi said anxiously: "Brother Chen, let's stop this matter, otherwise, it will be those disaster victims who will suffer. As parents and officials, we cannot just sit idly by."

Chen Gong frowned, and said, "I'll check it out myself tomorrow."

Zhao Bi nodded repeatedly, and said, "I'll go with Brother Chen. I know Brother Chen has already collected some evidence, so don't report it for now. It won't be too late to make a decision after you meet Henan Yin."

Hearing that Zhongji had become Henan Yin, Chen Gong frowned even more, and said: "Brother Zhao, please go back, I won't send you far away."

Zhao Bi was worried that Chen Gong would change his mind, so he didn't dare to say more, and said, "Brother Chen, rest early."

"Wait, why did he plant it on me?" Chen Gong asked suddenly with a calm expression.

Zhao Bi was full of bitterness, and said: "It's a last resort. Henan Yin was worried that brother Chen would hinder him, so he pre-empted the attack, but there is no evidence, it's just to delay the time."

Chen Gong was noncommittal, with an indifferent expression.

Zhao Bi smiled apologetically, raised his hand, turned and left.

When he walked away, a staff member came over and said with a gloomy look: "Dong Weng, I think there may be something inside this matter."

Chen Gong let out a sigh of relief, and said: "Finally, I have some clues. I will go to the victims' side tomorrow to have a look."

The staff glanced at him, and said in a low voice: "Dong Weng, do you want to go to the North Temple Prison of Huangmen?"

Chen Gong was brought to Beijing by Zuo Li, and was put under house arrest for quite a long time, so he has more or less relationship with some people in Huangmen North Temple Prison.

When Chen Gong heard the words, he thought about it again and again, and said: "It's not too late to see it tomorrow."

But the aide said: "Dong Weng, Zhao Bi came here tonight, it seems to be peace, more like a final warning. I am worried, there may be changes."

Chen Gong was naturally aware of it, showing hesitation on his face, and said: "The matter of Qiuliang is not only for Shangshutai, His Majesty also attaches great importance to it. If it is really as Zhao Bi said, Shangshutai and His Majesty will be in a dilemma."

The staff was stunned for a moment, and said: "If it is true, what is Dong Weng going to do?"

Chen Gong's eyes sank slightly, his face showed determination, and he said: "If he does not spare himself for the sake of the victims, so what if I, Chen Gong, fight for him?"
