Chapter 39 Flickering(1/2)

He was overjoyed? How big was Li Xian's eyes wide? The ministers below were almost rebellious, or were he overjoyed? He asked, "Where did the joy come from?"

Old Wei said, "I congratulate Your Majesty on the first joy, and the grain price storm will be calmed."

Li Xian was stunned at first, and then came over to knowingly.

I don’t know how much food this group of bold people in Huazhou has hoarded. But they have invested nearly two million in marriage money, and they hoarded it when the price of grain is between 20 and 40. You can imagine how much food will be. It will be an astronomical figure. Even if some other aristocratic families participate, they still dare to ask for food because of this case? The appearance of these foods will be of great help to disaster relief and calm the price of food. Of course, the court immediately gained huge wealth.

In the past, there was nothing to do with these people who hoarded goods and were too involved. Unless hunger was everywhere, the court would not allow them to forcefully calm the price of food. Now with this step of chess piece, you can play whatever you want.

Although his qualifications are mediocre, this simple truth will still be thought of.

It's a blessing in disguise.

Old Wei said again: "The second happy prince has only been released for a few days. He has made this achievement. Your Majesty has successors, and the country has successors."

In fact, Old Wei knew that not only him, but many ministers knew it. It was impossible for Li Chongjun to seize this strange case by virtue of his desire to draw silk and cut. If he had this ability, he could turn his hands around in the harem and turn his hands into rain.

Lao Wei said this from the bottom of his heart.

Li Xian asked the secretary-general Yang Kuo and the Taichang Qing Wu Chongfu to be the guests of the crown prince. Li Chongjun followed them and became worse and worse, and they were ignorant. For this matter, the left son Zhichen Yao Ting also advised Li Chongjun to make reforms. He did not blame him for the complaint, and did not accept it.

Lao Wei is often worried about this. After all, he is still very serious in his orthodox thoughts. It is just because he was ordered by someone a few years ago that he was disheartened and didn't want to care about too many things. No matter what conflicts Wang Hua's ideas have with them, Lao Wei absolutely believes in it. Those who are close to Mo Mo and those who are close to Chi are walking with Wang Hua. It is a good thing for the prince's growth.

The other ministers heard Lao Wei say this and said together: "Congratulations to Your Majesty."

In fact, some people can spit out fire in their eyes, but they dare not speak out.

When Li Xian heard this, he thought it was the case. He immediately said, "I sent an order to Huazhou. I liked the prince's couplet and asked him to continue to work hard. There were also two thousand elite soldiers to help the prince solve the case.

"Your Majesty, no." Old Wei became anxious when he heard this.

Although he was not in charge, his eyes were all sharp. Why did Wang Hua ask the Weizhou Governor to assist? How could this big case be if no one in the court supported him? Now he has sent two thousand soldiers, all of whom were transferred from Luoyang. Will it be credible? It is possible that the transfer will be worse.

But this cannot be said explicitly. He continued: "Your Majesty, since the prince did not ask the court to send reinforcements in the memorial, it means that he has control over the overall situation. If you send troops now and waste financial resources, it may be unfair.

"Wei Qing said that." Li Xian felt it was reasonable and cancelled the idea, but he still sent an imperial envoy to encourage Li Chongjun. Of course, he was not so confused that he didn't know the role of Wang Hua. But now Wang Hua intends to give the credit to his son, why not do it? It is difficult for his son to not be close to him yet?

After the court scattered, the ministers gathered together. Things were far from what Li Xian imagined. If the case expanded, it might affect the political situation of the court again. Some were discussing how to use it, while others were discussing how to avoid it.

But in Huazhou, the trial continues.

Li Chongjun didn't know, but Wang Hua and Teng Teng Tsai knew that the sooner the case was settled, the better. If it was delayed, many changes would occur. Otherwise, some of the officials in Huazhou would not have not spoken until now, such as the governor.

Interrogation overnight.

Although some officials still stick to their "bottom line", more officials were frightened by the scene of eating living people outside the city. And they also knew that the master behind the scene was Wang Hua, who rolled through the battlefield of tens of thousands of people, and even dared to do the attack on Luoyang. It was really possible that they would be dragged out of the city in anger and let the hungry people eat alive.

Therefore, the breakthrough continued to expand. In fact, the truth of the case was heard the next morning.

The earliest ones had nothing to do with the officials of Huazhou. First, after last autumn, when they saw a large number of cotton seeds being bought, Hao Pengfei found Cheng Gong's family and persuaded him hard. It was reasonable for him to choose Huazhou. Huazhou is the boundary between the Grand Canal and the Yellow River, and it may reach seven or eight million people in the east and north. If the food is short, they all rely on the Yellow River or the Grand Canal to mobilize. There are nearly 100,000 troops from Youzhou to Hedong. Originally, the food shortage was very large, and cotton was planted in many places, so the geographical location of Huazhou became more important.

The Cheng Gong family was moved, but still not. The financial resources of his family joined forces with Hao Pengfei and would inevitably become a vassal. Moreover, it was a big move and the manpower was a little thin. Later, they found the Fei family. As for the Shangguan family, they did not participate until April. Then they pulled officials from all walks of life in Huazhou into the water.

As for the curse of Liu Zhubo, it was because Liu Zhubo knew some of their movements and advised him. But he didn't care at that time. In spring today, the price of grain has not risen, but he has seen a trend. The Baima County Magistrate, who was also involved in this matter, was very happy, so he wasted extravagance and a spring festival. Thanks to the Yellow River and the canal, which gave him this opportunity to make a fortune.

But the finance office used during the spring festival was from the county treasury. Liu Zhubo once again argued with him, and he was indeed angry.

But at this time no one was interested in killing him. After all, he was a court official and was not far from Luoyang. If he died and there was no good explanation, the court would inevitably pursue the case and might pay attention to their actions.

But before this, Liu Zhubo saw that the price of grain had risen and began to secretly investigate with some friends. This was the origin of the notes Wang Hua got. But at this time, a big net was formed in Huazhou. Liu Zhubo's actions quickly let them know. First, they used Yushan, but it did not work. Later, the county magistrate of Baima County directly pointed out the advice, but it still had no effect. So he bribed a friend of Liu Zhubo. He learned about everything about Liu Zhubo and knew that he had mastered very important evidence. Only then did he have murderous intentions.

Of course, how to kill is a key point. At this time, Hao Pengfei accidentally heard that Liu Zhubo was arguing at the Spring Festival. So he came up with a curse and killed people. He first released a wind saying that Liu Zhubo was disrespectful to the river god, and then made a water bag to incense. This strange curse case began to happen.

Later, the price of grain rose day by day, and at the end, the group was stunned. Of course, they hoarded a lot of grain at this time, but how did they do this grain? So in the name of the Chenggong family, they summoned some big families to Huazhou, including Taiyuan Wang, Fanyang Lu, Rongyang Zheng, Qinghe Cui, Qianyan Cui, and Zhaojun Li. In addition to these families with strong backgrounds, such as Xiezhou Wei, Xiangzhou Lu, Beizhou Zhang, Yingzhou Xing, Dingzhou Shou, etc., they also greeted each other.

Everyone became interested when they had money and made money, but some families were hesitant, not because they considered the people, but because they were too much of anger and would attract the attention of the court. But at this time, these people vaguely revealed that someone had arranged the affairs of the court for them. Of course, some families were still hesitant. Compared with the previous famous families, the participation was not strong. However, there were more people involved, and some food was transported out and capital was collected. They once again excluded Hao Pengfei, an outsider.

When Hao Pengfei saw that it was not good, he heard that the court sent Wang Hua to provide disaster relief, so he calculated and gave me two million yuan. Well, I'm leaving. At the current price of grain, his request was not excessive. After raising money, Hao Pengfei disappeared from Huazhou.

When Wang Hua heard about this, he pointed at the group of officials and scolded: "You stupid pigs!"

Extremely angry.

If this group of people were insatiable, they might take the opportunity to take Hao Pengfei down and at least intercept his original capital of one million guan. Now it is all good, but it will make him run away after only half a year.

But someone in the court was covering him and asking. He said he didn't know that only the governor of Huazhou knew, but they knew that this person was very powerful, including the curse case, which was not too far from Luoyang, but Luoyang was not alarmed at all. Also, they had stockpiled so much food that they should have been careful in the past checkpoints. However, under the cover of this person, the court still had no news.

In the end, I have to pry the mouth of the governor of Huazhou.

Still not admitting it, it is not easy to punish him. Of course, Li Chongjun could kill him, but after all, it also attracted criticism, making this industry imperfect. He found Wang Hua again, and Wang Hua whispered in his ear.

Li Chongjun left happily. He came to the governor again and whispered a few words. Okay, don't say anything, I will take you to Luoyang. It's very suitable for the procedures. But I will let the prison car pass by the victims. As for what will happen to these victims, I am not sure.

He didn't even have a chance to reply, so he ordered someone to do so. The prison cart was taken out of the city, and four or five soldiers were guarding it.

That's equivalent to saying to this group of angry refugees. Come on, I'm not on guard here.

Not far from the victims, and seeing the victims stand up one by one, the governor was scared. He shouted, "You guys are cruel, I'll tell me."

Since it was easy to ask, I took it back.

Li Chongjun looked at him with a smile, very happy.

The governor looked at Li Chongjun with sarcastic expression and said, "Your Highness, do you really want to hear it? Don't you regret it?"

"Why do you regret it? You won't falsely accused my father and the person behind the scenes?"

"Actually, you don't need to ask me, just ask Mr. Wang."

"A joke, what you did, can you want to frame Mr. Wang?"

"No, I just want to say that since Mr. Wang wanted to transfer troops from Weizhou, he already knew who he was. Why do you need to ask me?"

.This is even more strange. He doesn't transfer troops from Weizhou, can he transfer troops from you? I'm afraid you dare to kill the lonely one.

"Okay, I'll just say that the person behind the scenes is King Dejing. All our income will be handed over to King Dejing. Don't believe it. You can carefully review the account book to see if there is a 10% income. You can store it in addition to the book. Ma Ziliang is all from King Dejing, so you have the courage to swallow a portion of the disaster relief supplies privately. Do you know now? Come on, I'll cover it to see if you have the ability to arrest King Dejing. Also, I'll tell you that the governor Teng has a close relationship with King Xiang, which is the real reason why Mr. Wang dared to transfer the Weizhou army."

Li Chongjun ignored him and ran away and looked for Wang Hua, feeling in his heart.

It turns out that Wang Hua was ordered to use the gun. Even Lao Wei didn't like this feeling, let alone the young and competitive him.

After finding Wang Hua, he said, "Sir Wang, you have known for a long time that the person behind the scenes is King Dejing, who deliberately plays with the lonely ones, right?

Wang Hua looked stunned and said, "Your Highness, how could you say this?"

"The governor said everything just now

"You said the person behind the scenes is King Dejing. No, right?

"Don't pretend to behave, I will ask you again, why did you specifically ask the Weizhou Governor to assist?"

"It's very simple. Weizhou is closest to Huazhou. And I also heard that the governor of Huazhou is related to King Dejing, and the governor of Weizhou is very close to the prime minister. "I sent so many people to delete it, it would be strange if I don't know. In this case, is it beneficial for me to ask the governor of Weizhou to assist?

There is a little reason to say. "Let me talk about the Crown Prince, is it that my conflict with King Dejing or the conflict with King Xiang?"

It's also reasonable.

"Also, I just knew that he was the one of King Dejing, but I didn't expect that King Dejing would also participate. Now I don't understand. Since King Dejing became emperor, he has rewarded countless times. Now he wants money and people, and has power. What else does he need to do with so much money? Does he want to rebel?"

When Li Chongjun heard this, he couldn't help but think about it. Wei was not good to him, and Wu Sansi was very close to Wei. He was very disgusted with Wu Sansi. This sounded a little reasonable.

He suddenly slapped the table and said, "Sir Wang, your words are very reasonable. Not only will he accumulate a lot of wealth in this way, but he will also cause chaos in the country so that he can take advantage of it. Maybe he did everything he did to sell the blood-speaking camp.

Mr. Wang, think about it again. Since he dared to ignore the life and death of more than 100,000 people and betray thousands of soldiers in the Blood Camp, it is not surprising.

He in turn asked Wang Hua to think about it.

After hearing this, Li Hong and Mu Zili took the excuse to go to the room to get things, but actually covered their mouths with handkerchiefs, almost making them laugh so hard that they couldn't even get angry.

Wang Erlang is too good at fooling people. This prince is too funny.

But Wang Hua couldn't laugh, and he turned pale when he smiled. He still said seriously: "Your Highness the Crown Prince. This may not be the case. Perhaps King Dejing just likes money and blinds his subordinates. As for the matter of the Blood Character Camp, there is no evidence, and you can't talk nonsense."

Speaking of this, he deliberately changed the topic. Anyway, he got the confession and asked Li Chongjun to find a handle. It was enough. He said again: "Since King Dejing has come out, the relevant personnel involved should have basically found out. Either King Dejing's subordinates participated in helping Huazhou to deceive the court. This requires the cooperation of King Dejing, which has exceeded your and me. Another thing should be done below

There are still many incidents. There are major families involved, many merchants, as well as some participants who are not outside Huazhou City, as well as grains that have been transferred to various places. Within the seventeen states, they were arrested immediately and the grains were collected. After the seventeen states, they need to report to the court and ask the court to issue an edict to order the states to arrest them.

However, some families, indirectly participate, are difficult to arrest, but this time, with this major case in hand, it is difficult not to bleed.

This was a serious matter, so Li Chongjun had to go down and arrange it. But he asked the pen clerk to immediately write a memorial to report to the court. Wu Sansi could not escape anyway. As for how his father arranged it, it was his father's business. He did not have the right to punish him. Thinking of this, Li Chongjun's face was even more angry.

There is another thing. It is a more important matter. Wang Hua was afraid that Li Chongjun would not do it well, so he and Li Chongjun came to Cheng Gong's house. Cheng Gong's house is now in chaos, and many people have been arrested in prison one after another, while the outside army has not yet been disbanded.

After all, it was not the seven surnames and ten families. The huge machines of the imperial court started to destroy it, and it could be wiped out in an instant. Looking at the desolate look, Wang Hua thought of the Cao family in Jiangnan. However, they did not go in. Instead, they came to the grain cellar covering an area of ​​dozens of acres not far away.

Dozens of huge grain cellars emit dazzling light under the sunlight.

Wang Hua sighed. They are so arrogant, aren’t they afraid of angering the people? Haven’t they ever thought that once the heavens are angry and people are resentful, they will be even saddened to rise up all over the country?

But Chinese history has been around for thousands of years. I understand this principle, but if I spread it to myself, I don’t know it. Or if I know it, I will think that it’s not me alone anyway.

Wang Hua stood up and walked in with Li Chongjun.

Officials are already counting the weight of the grain, including some disaster relief supplies from the Mu Court, and they must be placed out to store them separately. Wang Hua and Li Chongjun waited for a while, and the officials took the account book over.

Wang Hua was a little disappointed. If they intercepted and obtained the food in other ways, it turned out that there were nearly 6 million stones. But later, I heard that the court sent Wang Hua to come and deal with it immediately. Now only about 2 million stones are left. I don’t know how many can be recovered.

Li Chongjun was also a little disappointed.

Wang Hua comforted: "It's already a lot, and it can solve the urgent needs of the court. There is always better than not, and it doesn't require the court to spend a penny."

Li Chongjun smiled.

When it was time for lunch, everyone was so tired that they didn’t sleep well the night before and almost didn’t close their eyes last night.
