Chapter 1138
Zuo Song's butt hurts terribly now, but Nan Gongyan and Ji Qingxue have already arrived, making him lie down or stand up now.

"Zuo Song, have you thought about how to explain to me?"

After Nan Gongyan entered the room, he sat down impatiently, but Ji Qingxue beside her suddenly disappeared. She obviously came together, and she didn't know where she went.

Zuo Song knelt down with difficulty while clutching his buttocks. His movements were a little bigger, and the pain would be excruciating if he touched the wound.

"Your Majesty, forgive me! I really have nothing to do!" Zuo Song began to cry as soon as he knelt down, "This is what I have to do."

Nan Gongyan slapped the table vigorously, furious: "Nonsense! Embezzling disaster relief money, sending officers and soldiers to oppress the people, feeding the people moldy old rice, and making them have no place to shelter from the wind and rain? Are these forced? "

Maybe it was because Nan Gongyan's tone was too fierce, Zuo Song's body was trembling with fright.

"Emperor, Your Majesty, the lower officials are really forced to do nothing."

Nangong Yan's starry eyes were condensed: "Then you can tell me clearly, why are you being forced?"

"This... next, next official..." Zuo Song looked embarrassed, as if there was something unspeakable.

Seeing that he was hesitating, Nan Gongyan said sternly, "If you tell the truth now, I might be able to treat you lightly. If you keep hesitating and hiding something from me, I will immediately I order to kill your nine clans!"

The people of Zuo Song couldn't bear to be frightened. He said bitterly: "The emperor calm down. The officials say, the officials can say anything!"

"The emperor allocated millions of taels of relief money from the national treasury to relieve the victims. But when the relief money was in the hands of the officials, there were only 30 taels left."

Disaster relief money will be allocated in two layers, and it will become less and less.When we actually arrived in the disaster area, there were not many left.

Nan Gongyan looked at him sharply: "Is what you said true?"

Zuo Song kowtowed to him in a polite manner: "If you return to the emperor, what the subordinate officials said is true. The emperor has already visited the disaster area, and he must know the situation there well. Sometimes it is not because the subordinate officials are not I would like to save people, but the officials are really powerless."

Embezzlement of disaster relief money has happened in all dynasties, and it is not uncommon.Nan Gongyan himself was like a mirror in his heart, very clear.

But in the end, only 30 of the relief money was left to help the victims, and most of the rest was embezzled by those officials. How could Nan Gongyan bear it.

"It seems that I have to investigate carefully. So many people dare to embezzle 70 taels of disaster relief money right under my nose! They don't take the lives of the people seriously, or they don't take me seriously at all! "

"Pa" - the table suddenly cracked.

A good table was scrapped in Nan Gongyan's hands.

"You tell me everything you know, verbatim."

He really wants to know who it is, who looks like a person on the outside, but hides such evil bones inside.

Zuo Song hesitated for a while, but still told Nan Gongyan what he knew.

Every time he said a name, Nan Gongyan's frown deepened, like a bottomless ravine.

"These are the only people that I know are involved in this matter."

After finishing speaking, Zuo Song carefully gave Nan Gongyan a whoring look from the corner of his eye, for fear that he would suddenly lose his temper and cut himself off to vent his anger!
Nan Gongyan's mind kept revolving the names of those officials, and there were many important officials from the court who participated in them. The first one really took the courage of ambition.

"Hmph, if I hadn't been careful this time, I'm afraid you wouldn't even have the 30 left? This time I have to check it out, or you guys will be completely uprooted from the court!"

Can a tree thrive if its roots are broken?For the scar to heal, the carrion must first be gouged out.

"Your Majesty, I don't know if I should say something or not."

Nangong Yan said coldly: "Say!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty should not continue to investigate this matter further."

This time Zuo Song didn't avoid Nan Gongyan's gaze, instead he went up to him calmly and collided with him in the air.

Nan Gongyan was not furious because of his words, nor did he say anything else.

Nan Gongyan just turned the jade finger and raised his chin at him: "You continue."

"Actually, there is no need for officials to say anything, the emperor knows all about it. There are cliques in the imperial court for private interests, and officials and officials defend each other, especially the embezzlement of disaster relief money like this, which is very complicated."

"If the emperor wants to investigate this matter to the end, no matter what the result is, someone must bear the responsibility. But once the emperor investigates, this matter will involve a lot of people, and it is likely to shake the foundation of the court."

Zuo Song's words are very reasonable, there are too many people who bully their superiors and flatter their subordinates in the imperial court.

They are all trying to survive in the cracks, forming cliques, and constantly expanding their power.

Nan Gongyan wanted to find out about this matter, but he was afraid that at the end of the investigation, there might be only a few people left who could barely be considered innocent.

Zuo Song said very seriously: "You still need to think twice about this matter of the emperor."

Ji Qingxue walked in from outside the house, "Ah Yan, I'll go and search."

Zuo Song was stunned, finished searching?Did she go to search her own wing?
No wonder the master clearly said that both of them came back, but in the end he only saw the emperor here.

When she first entered the mansion, Nan Gongyan told Ji Qingxue to ask her to search when she arrived, so the two of them separated.

"How? Did you find anything?"

Nan Gongyan glanced at Zuo Song, who subconsciously hugged him.

The emperor's eyes are really terrifying!

That meaning seems to be saying: If you find something that shouldn't be there, I will immediately remove your head!

Zuo Song wanted to cry even more.

Ji Qingxue shook her head: "There are only a few things that can be put on the table in his book, and other places are very poor."

Zuo Song blushed: "I want to report to Empress Qi, the servants are indeed poor, and the few things that I saw in the past were given to me by friends. They are just used to support the scene!"

Ji Qingxue couldn't figure it out, isn't this Zuo Song a greedy person?How can you be so poor!

"Hey, do you like gambling or drinking flower wine?"

These two things cost money the fastest. Could it be that he spent the money he got greedily.

Zuo Song hurriedly shook his head and explained: "If you go back to your mother, at most one of the two things I love is drinking, and I really don't have any other hobbies."

"Then where did the money you greedy go?"

Zuo Song suddenly raised his fingers, with a serious face, "It's not a good thing for your majesty to step down from office, but this time, I dare to swear to God that I will never be greedy for a penny of the disaster relief money."
