Chapter 15

Long Zhantian frowned and said, "Shui Ning Country? You're going in the wrong direction. Shu Ning Country is in the southeast direction. You can go straight along the road ahead and pass the border of Morning Star and Moon Shadow Country. !"

Yu Suiyan almost didn't jump up, and said in surprise: "Wrong way! No way! I've been walking for six or seven days!" She thought about it, and remembered the attitude of the man in the farmhouse on the outskirts of Beijing when he showed the way. Obviously, he misled her.

A smile flashed in Long Zhantian's eyes, and he said, "If you go, it will take a long time, so you should go on a horse! Not far ahead is Riyan Kingdom. Let me pick a horse for you, okay?"

Rain nodded along with smoke.Following Long Zhantian to the military camp of Riyan Kingdom, seeing that the people there respected him very much, they knew that his status was not low, but they didn't care too much. They picked a fine horse and took some Long Zhantian for her. Prepared dry food and water, set off for Shuining country.

The two met by chance, and this time they parted, they both thought that it would be difficult to meet each other again. What they didn't expect was that the wheel of fate had quietly started, and she and him would meet again in the near future...

To the southwest of Morning Star Country is Moon Shadow Country, a powerful country.Its area is the largest among the four kingdoms. Its products are rich, its society is stable, its country is rich and its people strong, its prosperity is prosperous, and its faction is thriving. All this is due to the good governance of the country by the king of Moon Shadow Kingdom, Fengying Sheng.

In the Jinluan Hall, Feng Yingcheng sat lazily on the dragon chair, condescending, with a smile that was not a smile, staring coldly at the ministers who dared not look up, and said slowly: "Since the king took the throne, he has allocated a large number of people every year. Why will there be floods this year with money to build embankments?" The words sounded casual, but there was a sense of deterrence in his tone, and everyone who was familiar with him knew the anger in his words.

For a long time, the hall was silent, and no one dared to say a word.

Feng Yingcheng raised his eyebrows, sat up slightly, and said in a loud voice, "Prime Minister, what's going on?"

The old prime minister who was named was shocked, hurried out of the queue, and said frightenedly: "Return to your majesty! This year, the south has been raining continuously, and the flood season is ahead of schedule. Unprepared, the river broke its embankment. This... this specific matter needs to Ask the Ministry of Industry!"

Feng Yingcheng waved his hand, and the old prime minister hurriedly retreated to the queue, secretly wiped away the cold sweat that broke out, and kept muttering the wise saying that being with a king is like being with a tiger.

Feng Yingcheng glanced at the trembling Shangshu Fang Xin, smiled wickedly, and said nothing.

Fang Xin, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, stood up in a hurry, knelt down on the ground, and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, although it is the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry to repair dikes and dams, you have to contact the Governor of Rivers for specific matters. I..."

Feng Yingcheng snorted coldly in the dark, and said in a deep voice: "Governor of Xuanhe Road!" The eunuch on the side took the order and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has an order, and Governor of Xuanhe Road, Liang Rufu, will have an audience!"

Soon, Liang Ru's mansion went to the hall, knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "Liang Ru's mansion, the governor of Chenhe Road, kowtowed to His Majesty the king, long live my king, long live, long live!"

Feng Yingcheng smiled darkly, and said softly: "Pingshen! Liang Rufu, today the river broke its embankment, thousands of plowed fertile fields were turned into swamps, and tens of thousands of people were displaced. As the governor of the river, you did not fulfill your duties and caused a catastrophe." , are you guilty?"

Liang Rufu just stood up, when he heard the words behind him, he hurriedly knelt down again, and explained: "Your Majesty, there are frequent rains in the rainy season this year, and the river water is high. What a crime!"

Feng Yingcheng smiled, and said softly: "The rains are frequent and the river is high. It is indeed a natural disaster. The lonely king can't blame you!" It is your fault that the money for building the embankment was full of private pockets, and the embankment was not strong enough and collapsed for thousands of miles? Liang Rufu, you are so courageous!"

Liang Rufu's complexion immediately turned pale, and he kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged! I dare not dare even if I have the guts, there must be some villain who framed me, Your Majesty please investigate!"

Feng Yingcheng curled his lips mockingly, the murderous look in his eyes was fleeting, and said evilly: "It seems that you will not give up until the Yellow River! The lonely king will convince you! Of course, the lonely king will not let you go on the road alone There will definitely be someone to accompany you!" He glanced around his highness and ministers, and said softly: "When the lonely king learned about the river breaking the embankment, he asked someone to secretly investigate the cause, supervise the censor Liu Ting, and tell everyone what you have investigated. minister!"

Liu Ting stepped out, glanced coldly at Liang Rufu, and said respectfully: "I report to Your Majesty, I followed His Majesty's instructions and went south in person to find out that Liang Rufu, the governor of the river, had embezzled more than 30 taels of silver during his five years in office. , of which [-] taels were used to manage Fang Xin, Minister of the Ministry of Industry..."

Before Liu Ting finished speaking, Fang Xin stood up, glared at him, and cursed: "Liu Ting, you...you are so brave to frame me in front of His Majesty!" Yingsheng knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, don't listen to Liu Ting's one-sided words! He...he is framing the old minister!"

Feng Yingcheng nodded, and said with a smile: "Yes, there is indeed such a possibility!"

Hearing what Feng Yingcheng said, Liu Ting was startled, raised his head, and looked at the Venerable Wan Cheng who was sitting tall in surprise.

Feng Yingcheng took everyone's expressions into his eyes, and said with a smile, "Where is Guo Shoujing, the imperial guard?" Not far away, Guo Shoujing knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully: "Guo Shoujing is here, long live my king! "

The officials looked at Fengyingcheng in puzzlement, Fengyingcheng suppressed the smile on his face, and said coldly: "Guo Shoujing, tell the results of your secret supervision of Liu Ting, and let all the ministers listen!"

Guo Shoujing said loudly: "Yes! I was ordered by the king to secretly supervise and monitor Yushi Liuting. He is upright and the facts he investigated are true!"

At this time, Liang Rufu and Fang Xin were already paralyzed on the ground, their eyes glazed over, and they could no longer quibble.They didn't ask Feng Yingcheng for forgiveness, because they knew how cruel and ruthless their king was.

Feng Yingcheng returned to his previous lazy look, and said with a half-smile: "Come here, put Liang Rufu and Fang Xin into the sky prison, and wait for their punishment. Their family property will be confiscated, and the family will be sent to the frontier. Liu Ting is upright and honest. Just and selfless, promote Liu Ting, the inspector and censor, to be the governor of the river, thoroughly investigate this matter, and all officials involved in corruption will be strictly investigated and dealt with! The imperial guard Guo Shoujing is effective in doing things, rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, and promoted to a rank! Retire!"
