Qiang Jin Jiu - Chap 224

The rain and rain suddenly stopped, and Liang Jianshan’s boots were full of mud spots. He stepped into the door with a robe angle, and the officials waiting in the office of the Ministry of Ministry were already waiting. He heard the rain outside stop abruptly, took out a handkerchief and wiped off the thin sweat on his face, and said simply: “Let’s count.”

The sound of the abacus twitching inside the room suddenly crackled, as if it were a proper shower, and it fell down again in the office.

Liang Minshan held the cabinet ticket and sat on the teacher’s chair, reopened the eight city books that had been piled up, and buried his head for recalculation. He calculated well and knew the taxes, and the posting speed was fast, but for the sake of stability, he still had an abacus and pen and paper near him.

It was raining all night in the Hubu office, and during that time, only the escorts went in and out to make refreshing tea for everyone. However, in the noise, the queen mother remained awake all night.

The incense burner was burned in the hall, the queen mother turned the beads, and leaned on the couch to be kicked by her aunt. There is no one else in this hall. The queen queen removed Dong Zhu, and her eyes closed with false eyes.

“The commander has already breathed with Fuman,” Aunt Liaoyu said quietly, “There should be some movement on Chu Jun’s side.”

The queen queen opened her eyes slightly and said, “Today’s discussion at Mingli Hall, Chu Jun also interjected. The family looked at Kong Boran and treated her feelings, and she really became a student.”

“It wasn’t all that Xue Yanqing taught,” said Aunt Liaoyu in an orderly manner. “She’s raised outside the palace. How can I understand government affairs?”

“I don’t know whether to advance or retreat, regardless of priority. She wants to get involved in the administration of politics, and she must have that confidence. Today Qi Zhuyin refused to promise the family of grief, but nothing more than that Xue Xiuzhuo has a retreat. They are anxious to count the remaining food in the eight cities,” He looked at his hand wrapped around the beads. “Just leave it alone.”

The lights were slightly dim, and the queen mother looked at her with ease, without panic.

***

Liang Qiaoshan grew more and more frightened. He dialed the abacus several times in the noisy abacus sound, but the result was just like his mental calculation. Dancheng’s grain storage at the Ministry of Re-examination had no problem. According to the amount of surplus grain, it was estimated that It is the most abundant granary in Da Zhou now.

How did that happen?

Liang Yanshan pushed away the abacus and stood up, again holding the sweat on his face with a papa.

***

Pan Yan leaned on a chair, his face paled by the candlelight. He was kept here for a few days, and the wrinkled robe corners showed the family’s wolves. He dangled his spirits and looked at Xue Xiuzhuo with tired eyes.

“When you inspected the tax of Bachengtian at the beginning of the year, you also knew the details of their granaries.” Xue Xiuzhuo was also very tired. He covered his eyes with a damp patch for a while and recovered a little, “Has the granary in Bacheng been vacant?”

Pan Yan answered in silence.

“Accept it,” Xue Xiuzhuo changed his name to Pan Yan. “You let Yao Yuanzhuo away because you still have good thoughts, you are not Wei Huaigu, so why bother conscientiously to do business for them? Dancheng starved to death last year. Many people, if the court cannot rebuild the fields and return to the people, Dancheng will still starve to death next year. ”

Pan Huan slipped between his throat, he raised his head slightly, staring at the dark roof.

“Qi Zhuyin has repeatedly entered the capital to seek troops, Qidong’s garrison has not been able to send troops at this moment, and the 12th part of the Biansha has hit Bianjun,” Xue Xiuzhuo’s **** eyes showed struggle, as if tortured, he said, “Instead, I need food.”

I don’t know where to fly out of the moth, rested on the window, and flew away again in the long silence, towards the night. It wandered in the night, passing by the swift carriage. The carriage stopped in front of the house, and Hung Hom lifted the curtain. Hua Xiangyi had already jumped down.

“husband……”

Hua Xiangyi carried her skirt and ran after entering the gate. The **** in her hair was adorned with pearls, shaking violently during the run. Breathing, she walked through the complex vestibule and promenade, ignoring the surrounding exclamation, and ran into Qi Zhuyin’s courtyard.

Qi Wei was talking to the servant, and suddenly he saw Hua Xiangyi running over. He was startled and thought it was an assassin. He shouted, “Protect the marshal!”

The soldiers in the courtyard drew their swords when they were in a hurry, and the knife light flickered, and the pearls shaking with the fragrance of flowers set off against each other, covering the Lingyue Moon Frost. As soon as Qi Zhuyin opened the door, she was splashed with pearls. Hua Xiangyi hurriedly supported her hair, exuding a thin sweat in her slightly rapid breathing.

“The Dancheng granary is empty, no matter how much Dancheng surplus grain is re-examined by the Ministry of Households,” Hua Xiangyi still dangled her skirt and looked at Qi Zhuyin, “… all are obstacles.”

Qi Zhuyin gave Huaxiang Yi the caught **** and looked at Qi Wei.

Qi Wei immediately stepped back, turned around and was discharged from the hospital, calling someone to report the news to Liang Yishan.

At this moment, it was almost three moments before the ugly time. When the second hour of Yinshi, all the court officials would be ready to wait outside the palace gate.

***

Pan Xi was completely silent after Xue Xiuzhuo said the sentence. He was a poet who had read poetry and had no way to look directly into Xue Xiuzhuo’s eyes. He gazed at the roof and saw old signs of years of disrepair on the beams, and those parts that were not covered by the new paint were bare, covered with fine insect eyes, and utterly messed up.

Pan Yan sat here, but felt the wind. He silently counted the bug eyes and killed himself with a blunt knife in the silence. He understood that Xue Xiuzhuo’s expression might be just a disguise, but he also understood that what Xue Xiuzhuo said was true. The silence he spent in his cell was not all about avoidance.

“I ask you,” Pan Yan turned his head dully, and finally faced Xue Xiuzhuo squarely. He said, “Why do you kill Yuan Zhuo?”

Xue Xiuzhuo leaned on the back of the chair and looked directly at Pan Yan.

“You want to help Li’s, and Haige also wants to help Li’s. You supported Tianchen Emperor together and replaced Hua Siqian,” Pan Yan moved his shackled hand to the table, “but you He also killed Emperor Tianchen for Chu Jun … Xue Yanqing, you are hiding in the tide, I can’t tell whether you are loyal or treacherous. ”

Pan Xi needs an answer. Xue Xiuzuo can wash away the part that he is not accommodated by the gentleman on this question. As long as he gives Pan Ji a reasonable reason, he can win a great victory tonight.

But Xue Xiuzhuo said: “I killed Yao Yuanzhuo because he should kill.”

He didn’t seem so straight because he stayed up all night, sitting opposite, and even willing to loosen his buttoned robe.

“The family always thought that this court is still their world, but as early as the last time of Yongyi years, they have lost control of the carriage. Look at your father, if the family is strong enough, then why is he here? The attack between the family and Hanmen hit both ends of the first mouse? The defeat of Xiande’s mid-year soldiers made me understand one thing, “Xue Xiuzhuo raised his finger and pointed to the ground. Siqian thought that he could play the Amur in the east, but in fact he was just a walking dog trapped when Amuer watched Da Zhou. The most ridiculous thing was that when Hua Siqian died, he thought he was holding the chain. People. ”

“The teacher and I watched the rise of the North King, and Tieqi became a valiant master in the Northeast, but they were not used by the Li family. Their surname was Xiao. No matter how loyal Xiao Fangxu and Xiao Jiming were, they would no longer accept it The generals from Batu, they call themselves wolves, and also call themselves iron walls. Yes, they are indeed iron walls, but they also blocked Badu while blocking the sand cavalry. If it is not too late Emperor Guangcheng would dissolve the North Rail Rider as early as the end of Yongyi, and they were actually under the Li’s army when they were called Luoxia Cavalry. Did n’t Xiao Fangxu understand? But he still refused to surrender his military power. , He believes in himself, he may not be wrong, but he can’t control the gradually solidified iron rider. ”

“A lot of people are suspicious, but who can ensure that such a large and powerful army will always have a sober command? Even Xiao Fangxu himself knows well. Sitting here does not require verbal commitment and personal trust, but rather Really weighing and restraining. Xiao Fangxu knew long ago that he had to surrender a son to his concubine. The teacher looked for suitable opportunities to take into account the friendship and face of the North, but before the teacher did anything, Hua Siqian would fill the gap. The loss of Zhongbo Liuzhou to Amuer resulted in Xiao Chi’s entry into the capital becoming a heart disease in Lidu and Libei. ”

“Do you understand? There are scorpions from the desert in the water. Amur is relying on them to stir the situation and make Dazhou rot and stink, but the family pretends to be deaf. The teacher and I have supported Li Jianheng after a lot of hard work. Ascended the throne, hoping that Li Jianheng could clean up the chapel, but he was a complete waste. ”

“Yao Yuanzhuo’s reputation has accumulated in a terrible place, but it can never be used by his grandmother. If I don’t kill him, he will definitely be used by others. If you leave Yao Yuanzhuo for the so-called righteousness, you can now see the world famous The tide is flowing to Zhongbo, and he is planning for Shen Zechuan. ”

Xue Xiuzhuo paused for a long time and said without expression: “I’m neither loyal nor treacherous.”

What exactly is he?

he does not know.

When he was enlightened, he was taught by Mr. Changzong that he could be a gentleman. He praised Qi Huilian in the past few years and even had exchanges with Qi Huilian. He thought that Qi Huilian could understand his ambitions, but Qi Huilian refused. He respected Hai Liangyi and was willing to be driven by Hai Liangyi. Even today, he still calls Hai Liangyi a teacher, but Hai Liangyi firmly believes that Li Jianheng can become emperor under his own guidance-Xue Xiuzhuo can’t wait. He wants to be able to Open up the chaotic monarch, if not, he can only be Bo.

He didn’t need pity or justification, he was willing to pay double the price for everything he had done. He has only one life, and he bet it on the dusk of the big week. No matter whether it is the dawn he expects after dark, he is willing to work hard.

This is Da Zhou and his last chance.

Pan Yan raised his hands and covered his face at the table. After a long time, he said, “I knew that Wei Huaigu was doing fake accounts when I was the servant of the Ministry of Housing, and that there was a problem with Dancheng field tax.” He revealed Eyes with fine wrinkles, “But my name is Pan Yan, I can only …”

Pan Yan didn’t go on, he rubbed his face hard.

There was a rush of footsteps outside the cell, Pan Yan and Xue Xiuzhuo sat quietly, listening to the noisy approach, at the last moment the door was opened.

“empty.”

Pan Yan said tiredly.

“Eight cities are empty.”

Xue Xiuzhuo stood up arrogantly, sweeping the fatigue in front of the eunuchs behind his back, clasping his neckline, nodding slightly at Pan Mao, saying: “Thank you.”

There was a shadow outside the cell. Pan Xue said suddenly when Xue Xiuzhuo was about to leave: “You have done your selfish desires and are no longer tolerated by ordinary people. As you said, what you want here is trade-offs … What else can you do for Chu Jun? Pinned? ”

Xue Xiuzhuo glanced and did not answer.

Pan Yan seemed to understand something. He watched Xue Xiuzhuo leave. The jail door closed in a “squeak” sound, leaving him alone to sit here, and the small window on the side showed a thin morning light, but did not shine on Pan Mao.

Pan Yan did his best.

***

Pan Xiangjie turned over the boxes and looked for the ledger. The old books accumulated at the bottom of the box were all sharp weapons for him! When he woke up, he heard the wind and wanted to burn everything before Xue Xiuzhuo arrived.

Yong Yi Nian, Xian De Nian, Tian Chen Nian!

Pan Xiangjie bundled these accounts neatly. He knelt down in front of the box, pulled the rope with his bare hands, and threw all the books into the copper basin.

Too much, he can’t burn it alone.

Pan Xiangjie was so anxious that his mouth was filled with sour water. He never thought that his mouth was his own son. He has been driven to an end-he can’t stop there!

“Yong Yinian …” Pan Xiangjie read his account along his fingers, “The flower family … Han’s …”

Everyone is here, Pan Xiangjie is ecstatic. As long as everyone is here, his Pan cannot die. Suddenly the running sound of military boots broke into the courtyard, Pan Xiangjie tightened his books, stood up holding the box, and walked to the door tremblingly.

Here comes Han Yan.

Pan Xiangjie forced to calm down, covering his wide sleeves, and said to Han Kun: “It’s not that far, can’t the queen mother be able to bear it? The method of abandoning the car to protect the car is by no means the best policy! Xue Xiuzhuo and the family are incompatible. Today is to cut off our Pan family. No one can run away. ”

Pan Xiangjie pretended to be confused all his life, followed Hua Siqian and Wei Huaigu as head turtles, kneeling and begging for mercy at the chapel, but now he can speak clearly and fluently.

Han Zheng holding on to the handle, said, “You lie down at this moment, and leave room for everyone to breathe. Who dare not miss your kindness? I guarantee you will not die, and you will have a chance to revive your fandom in the future.”

Pan Xiangjie saw the knife approaching step by step, and couldn’t help raising his voice: “You killed me today, but you are forcing Xue Xiuzhuo to step up! Dancheng is gone, how many days can Lucheng be spared?”

“Stop talking nonsense!” Han Yan also sweated a little, and he waved his hand. “The queen mother knew that you would leave a retreat for yourself. This account is a mess, you must remember clearly and burn the yard!”

Pan Xiangjie held the door, watched his family members cry, and shouted in a messy situation: “These accounts, I have let Cheng Zhizhen copy them, you burn it! You killed me at this moment, these accounts will still fall into Xue Xiuzuo’s hands ! ”

“Pan Yu’s treason has become a reality,” Han Zheng pulled out his sword. “Isn’t he secretly letting away Yao Wenyu? Yao Wenyu is now Shen Zechuan’s conspirator! The evidence of your collaborating with the Treasury is convincing. Believe? He is the fine work of Shen Zechuan staying in Badu! ”

Pan Xiangjie fell to the ground while shoving, and he shouted, “Rabbits and dogs cook … birds do their best! I’m a walking dog for Gan and Gan, and I ended up with these endings today! Han Ye, I’m dead today, you How long can I live again! ”

Han Yun brought the Badaling waist card and couldn’t wait any longer. He walked towards Pan Xiangjie in the midst of a sudden rise in fire, and was about to cut with a knife. Unexpectedly, Qi Wei behind was faster, and instead of going around the promenade, he directly ran across the roof, swooped down from the top, and rolled out with Han Han.

Taking this opportunity, Pan Xiangjie suddenly held up his ledger and shouted toward the entrance of the courtyard: “Master, save me!”

Han Zheng struggled and threw out the waistband of the Eight Camps, and shouted, “At the foot of the Son, the army is the big one! Qi Zhuyin’s soldiers stopped at the suburbs. How dare they obstruct my behavior in the Eight Camps?”

“I asked the commander to catch the criminal. There is a ticket from the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and a command from the Ministry of Military Affairs. Why not?” Xue Xiuzhuo opened his robe and said sternly, “Put the fire and take it with Han Han!”

Han Xun said, “I am the Queen Mother, do you dare?”

The eight major camps in the courtyard immediately drew their swords and hurriedly approached Xue Xiuzhuo.

Qi Zhuyin relied on the scabbard to open the blade, and later said, “Since the Eighth Battalion is the capital, it is the emperor’s army. Chu Jun wants me to come to help with the case, but you want to listen to the Queen Mother?”

Han Yan originally thought that Pan Xiangjie was cheating himself, but who knows that Qi Zhuyin really came! He dared to kill before Xue Xiuzhuo came. He fought to hold the eight camps and could threaten the cabinet. However, Qi Zhuyin’s soldiers and horses stopped outside the city, and he would definitely suffer.

Han Yan was short, and gritted his teeth, saying, “Naturally … let Chu Jun arrange.”

The Badaying knife returned to its sheath, watching Qi Zhuyin’s relatives enter, and took Pan Xiangjie and Han Yan away. The fire did not last long, and it was easily extinguished. Xue Xiuzuo waved the smoke and picked up several unburned books.

***

The queen mother was surprised and heard that Xue Xiuzhuo took the ledger and couldn’t help falling down on the couch. She frowned and hated, “Pan Xiangjie is a jerk!”

In order to survive, Pan Xiangjie dragged everyone into the water!

“Where’s Chu?” The queen mother resumed calmly. “Well, Xue Xiuzhuo has the ability to break the net with Aijiayu. Then let him see if the” True Son “in his hand is hard enough.”

The queen queen said that he had smashed the beads and threw them into the burning copper basin, splashing countless soot.

***

After Han Yan was caught, he closed his eyes and slept. He faced the wall and ignored anyone, and Zhun Xue Xuezhuo was afraid to move himself. Pan Xiangjie regained his old appearance, sitting across the table with his sleeves and sobbing.

“Explain … explain …” Pan Xiangjie wiped his tears. “But first told me to eat rice, Yanqing, I was very hungry.”

This old slipper is trying to delay time, holding the account book to queen the queen mother, waiting for the queen mother to get people.

Although Liang Zhishan manages taxes, he has also seen these criminal trials, knowing that these old guys are not good at trial. He boiled for a night, sipped two cups of tea, and after being inspired by Xue Xiuzhuo, he said, “It takes time to cook the noodles and dishes, and the old man speaks slowly.”

Pan Xiangjie saw Liang Maoshan as if he was not angry, and only said, “Chong Shen and Cheng Zhi are familiar with me,” he touched his belly, and said with a sad expression, “you can’t be hungry at home. It’s a mess. ”

“How can I let the boss take the trouble,” Liang Minshan put the tea, “You just answer me. I counted Dancheng surplus grain yesterday and found that the barn owl was full. You tell me if you bought it elsewhere before the household review. Grain as a surplus? ”

“Where do I manage the grain?” Pan Xiangjie spread his hands innocently, as if he was in a hurry. “I am in charge of the Ministry of Labor! For details of these grains, you can ask Dan Cheng’s grain supervisor or Pan Yi.”

“I asked a long time ago,” Liang Minshan opened the booklet and showed it to Pan Xiangjie. “They all explained. You sold the food to Yan Heru. Dancheng sold it, and the other seven cities sold it, right?”

“I don’t even know Dancheng’s account. How do I know the rest of the seven cities?” Pan Xiangjie knows that there are ten things in it that Liang Minshan took out to slap himself. He said, “Since they have all explained, Yanqing, what are you doing?” Submit it to the Cabinet and give Yuan Fu a look. ”

Xue Xiuzhuo said: “We have to discuss the matter in the early days, and we will report it immediately.”

Pan Xiangjie heard him report, and could not tell the true and false for a while.

Liang Minshan found the ticket of the Ministry of Justice from his sleeve and said, “How else can you invite the boss to us? Naturally, it is in accordance with the law and the Ministry of Justice has approved it.”

Pan Xiangjie stared at the ticket for a while.

Xue Xiuzhuo got closer, looking at Pan Xiangjie, and said, “When the adult took charge of the Ministry of Work, when the Xiande Nianguangou case occurred, I saw that the embankment of the Kailing River was well repaired, indicating that the adult was also doing practical things, and he was willing to share his concerns. I did n’t come here for the adult. He was very good, and he did n’t get to the point of killing. Pan ’s was just a problem with his account. Let ’s make it clear that there is room for everything behind. ”

This is telling Pan Xiangjie that if he hesitates again, there is no room for it.

Pan Xiangjie sobbed, pulling his beard, and said to Xue Xiuzhuo, “I really don’t know where.”

Xue Xiuzhuo said: “It seems that Dancheng is Pan’s ‘private city’. You deceived the court and colluded with the Ministry of Pan Pan to embezzle the people’s land in Dancheng, falsely report the land tax, and resell the official food. Snakes and rattles killed hundreds of people, all of which you Pan alone took care of. ”

Pan Xiangjie was so frightened that he saw Xue Xiuzhuo really come and hurriedly said, “Yanqing …”

“The account book, confession, and all the original texts were copied and reported to the Cabinet,” Xue Xiuzhuo ignored Pan Xiangjie. “It’s all right for those who corrupt the law, copy and pay taxes, and cut all over!”

“The ledger hasn’t been sorted out yet!” Pan Xiangjie stood up, he shook his hands and said, “Yanqing, Yanqing! Let’s talk in detail, I haven’t explained yet!”

Xue Xiuzhuo turned back.

Pan Xiangjie can only say, “In this account–”

The prison door behind Xue Xiuzhuo suddenly opened, and the pen post followed, standing up, wondering what happened. Xue Xiuzhuo turned back, seeing the **** in the palace, can not help but sweat.

The little **** was out of breath, afraid to look directly at the courtier, kneeled down on the ground and hurriedly took a few steps on his knees. He said, “Master, lord! Chu Jun fainted suddenly when he came up, Yuan Fu urgently adjusted the doctor, now also……”

Just one step away.

Xue Xiuzhuo’s hands and feet were cold, and his account book was sweating coldly. Pan Xiangjie immediately shut up and sat back.

Fighting snakes and playing seven inches, the queen mother is really difficult!

Xue Xiuzhuo fell off the account book and squeezed a voice between his teeth: “Enter the palace.”
