Kowloon wins

Chapter 110 Starting from the subtleties ([-])
The third master has been in a pretty good mood recently, nothing else, not to mention the fame and fortune in the Shandong case, and the eighth master who suffered a big loss had another fierce fight with the prince. The two important positions of Shandong Fantai and Taiwan are all in the bag. Not only that, while the two most powerful parties, the crown prince and the eighth master, are licking their wounds, the third master smoothly cleared up all the departments of the Ministry of Rites. , Although it is far from being able to control the whole department, Zhengyin Langzhong of each department has already replaced his third master's confidant, and given time, it will not be a problem to control the entire Ministry of Rites.

With all the power in his hands, the third master has more things to decide, and it is inevitable to be busy. No, today is so busy that it is almost dark before returning to the mansion, and hastily used it in the main courtyard After dinner, he and Princess Dong E briefly exchanged opinions on the affairs of the mansion, and then wandered to the study room in the inner courtyard as usual, but just as he turned the screen, he saw that Old Master Chen, Li Minquan and Hong Qing had all disappeared. Waiting inside, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

"The child kowtowed to the father and king."

Before the third master came back to his senses, he saw Hong Qing had already stood up, walked a few steps quickly, rushed to the front, and paid respectful salutes incessantly.

"Excuse me, did Qing'er encounter any difficulties?"

After all, the third master is a fine person. Although he was a little surprised, he soon came back to his senses, raised his brows, and asked with concern.

"Father is wise, there is indeed a matter for the child to be decided by the father."

Hong Qing knew her father was very shrewd for a long time, so she was not surprised when she guessed the intention of her sudden appearance in the study, and she didn't intend to go around in circles, so she stated her purpose directly.

"Well, then sit down and talk."

Although the third master has been busy rectifying the Ministry of Rites these days, he did not forget to pay attention to the movement at the other end of the Ministry of Industry. He knew that Hong Qing had integrated into the Ministry of Industry smoothly. He never commented, but he was very relieved in his heart, probably because he knew the meaning of the old man's sending Hong Qing to the Ministry of Industry. Hearing Hong Qing's words, he immediately guessed some fundamentals, and his spirit was immediately relieved. He was shocked, but he didn't rush to ask questions, but nodded gently, walked to the big seat above, flicked the hem of his robe, and sat down.

"Father, it has been more than three months since my child went to the Ministry of Industry to help with the order of the emperor Mafa. Thanks to the trust of the emperor Mafa, the child was lucky enough to gain a foothold. Although the envoy of Shuiqing in the palm of the capital is only half a month old, I have gained a lot, now, I have found out that Samuha's uncle and nephew have a lot of corruption in dredging the Tonghui River, and I dare not make a rash decision, so I ask my father to make a clear decision."

Now that the third master had already sat down, Hong Qing didn't dare to delay any longer, so she hurriedly bowed and pointed out the theme of this trip.

"Oh? Is this reliable? Do you have sufficient evidence?"

Even though Hong Qing's intention had been vaguely guessed beforehand, but when Hong Qing said the topic, the third master's heart couldn't help but twitched suddenly, his brows raised, and he hastened to ask questions.

"Returning to the father, the boy has received the Tonghuihe verification document for several days. He suspected that there was something strange in it, but he couldn't figure it out. After being pointed out by Si Li Lang Zhong Shen He, he knew the root cause. It happened yesterday. Manpower has been sent to investigate carefully, and it has been confirmed that the embankments on both sides of the Tonghui River from Yangzha Village to Gaolizhuang (now Zhangjiawan Village) are fake embankments, and the amount involved in this one alone has reached 10 taels The case is so huge that it cannot be decided without the father and the king."

The purpose of Hong Qing's coming here is to ask the third master to preside over the matter, since there is nothing to hide, so she briefly described the process of the matter.

"Fake it? How is this embankment faked? Qing'er will explain it clearly."

Although 10 taels of silver is not a big figure, it is enough to put Samuha, the prince's loyal lackey, into the sky prison. Naturally, the third master cannot be indifferent, but the matter is important, so don't ask clearly How can the third master be at ease.

"Father Wang Mingjian, according to the plan of the Tonghui River, the dams along both sides of the river must be built with two layers of stones. The dams are all fake, most of the sections are not built with stones, but earth embankments mixed with gravel, covered with lime glutinous mud, it looks brand new, but in fact it is rotten, once there is a flood, the dam will undoubtedly collapse!"

After Hongqing got the hint of sinking the river the day before yesterday, she had already dispatched Li Minxing and others to various parts of the Tonghui River, and secretly found out the realities of the embankments and dams everywhere. very.

"The thieves are rampant. If you dare to deceive the king like this, you think you don't care about the life and death of the people. You are really brave! How can I sit idly by, Master, Mr. Li, what can you two teach me?"

Although the third master is very selfish, he is not an unreasonable person. Hearing that Samuha dared to play tricks on the river defense, he immediately became angry. The prince behind Samuha lost his temper a lot, but in the end, he didn't dare to make a decision directly, but threw the problem to Chen and Li.

"Crazy ministers and thieves, everyone gets them and kills them!"

Old Master Chen was very straightforward, he expressed his attitude with just one sentence, and immediately shut his mouth tightly, without further explanation.

"The master is right, but this matter is too big and involves a lot, so Xiao Wang has to be more cautious. Does Zicheng have any good opinions on this matter?"

Although Mrs. Chen's words were concise and to the point, there was a hint of mocking the third master's indecision, and the third master couldn't help but be surprised at the moment, but facing the always rigorous teacher, the third master really didn't dare to complain , can only explain a few words with an embarrassed smile.

"Your Majesty understands, this subordinate thinks what the Master said is reasonable. How can you just sit back and watch such a shocking case and eliminate all the evil? Your Majesty is a sage king, and you will surely know the painstaking efforts of your Majesty for the people."

Li Minquan had already received Hong Qing's orders, so he would not contradict Hong Qing at this moment. When the third master asked, he immediately gave a firm answer.

"Well, Qing'er, what are you going to do?"

The third master actually knows very well that the old man sent Hong Qing to the Ministry of Industry to deal with Samuha. The reason why he was a little hesitant before was not because he was really afraid of the prince, but because he was worried that he would be besieged from all directions——Shandong case happened, The third master has completely offended the eighth master. Although there is an agreement, it is not completely broken, but the two are incompatible. The crown prince has an incomprehensible feud, and the coveted fourth master is on the side. The relaxed and good situation that the third master has worked so hard to fix is ​​obviously going to be disrupted again. Because of these considerations, the third master did not dare to make a decision lightly, but now seeing that Old Master Chen and Li Minquan had the same opinion, the third master no longer hesitated, nodded, and made a soft sigh, which was regarded as his agreement. The opinions of Chen and Li were not good, but they did not feel at ease because of this, so they turned their eyes to Hong Qing again, and asked a question after deliberation.

"Returning to my father's words, there is a common saying: to catch thieves and take stolen goods, and now the Ministry of Industry is full of snakes and rats. If there is no conclusive evidence, it may be difficult to touch Samuha. ..., and then you can follow the vines to find out the melons, and get things done in one fell swoop!"

Hong Qing had already considered the overall action plan, and now she is talking about it in a very clear manner.

"Okay, then it's settled, Qing'er will just let go of this matter, and Ama will fully support it!"

Upon hearing Hong Qing's detailed plan, the third master's eyes lit up immediately, he clapped the case excitedly, and gave a positive promise with pride.

"Father Wang Yingming!"

For such a big event, without the appearance and full support of the third master, it is obviously not enough to rely on Hongqing's personal strength. This is one of the reasons why Hongqing recruited the old master to work with Li Minquan. Another reason, naturally It is hoped that the third master can make further progress with this merit. Now that the third master has made a decision, Hong Qing's hanging heart has just fallen to the ground, and there is a sense of relaxation in the words of praise...

"Hey, little lord, you're here, I'm here to greet you."

At every moment, it was already past the time for the officials of various ministries to go to work, but it was not yet the official office time. The yamen of the Ministry of Industry was deserted. While he was enjoying himself, he suddenly saw Hong Qing leading a group of palace guards slowly approaching the gate of the yamen. Approaching, the big gift with a smile on his face is endless.

"no."

For Liang Mengzan, Samuha's dogleg, Hong Qing had never had a good impression of him at all, and was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. She just waved her hand and said something calmly, but her steps didn't stop for a moment, and she was still unhurried. He walked to the gate of the yamen.

"My lord, you won't go to school today?"

Liang Mengzan didn't seem to care about Hong Qing's neglect, and continued to pester her with a smile, making it clear that she wanted to find out about Hong Qing.

Oh, what a faithful dog, well, if you want to die yourself, then don't blame the young master for being merciless!

Hong Qing knew the details of Liang Mengzan a long time ago, but she was too lazy to learn more about him. She originally planned to settle the old score with him after Samuha was settled, but now she saw that she was so entangled. The meaning was already getting big, but it didn't happen on the spot, but he smiled lightly and said: "Today, Ben Beizi has something to go to Tonghui River, so the leader of the Laoliang squad took a few brothers to accompany Ben Beizi. It's all good once."

"This..., hehe, the little one should serve you, you should serve yourself."

Upon hearing Hong Qing's order, Liang Mengzan couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, but soon came to his senses, rolled his eyes, and already had other thoughts, but didn't say much. Instead, he agreed with a smile on his face.

"Well, Team Leader Liang, let's go and get ready. Ben Beizi will send someone to look for you before we leave."

Hong Qing didn't bother to talk to him any more, after giving her an order, she led a group of royal guards into the yamen without looking back.
