Liu Bian then shouted.

Hearing this name, Manchao Wenwu felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.

"Chen is here!"

Ram Li walked out from the crowd.

"Cooperate with Qinglong, find out this matter, and give me an explanation as soon as possible!"

"Here!"

Because of the wide range involved, Liu Bian was afraid that Qinglong would not be able to do it alone.

and,

In terms of investigation and interrogation, Gong Yangli's ability is still higher than that of Qinglong!

Originally, Liu Bian planned to go south immediately,

Now that there is a disaster and it involves serious problems, Liu Bian decided to wait ten days before setting off.

Take care of domestic affairs first, then you can attack foreigners with peace of mind!

……

Chapter 440 The inside story of the disaster, the big house of the Zhen family participated

Wuji County, Zhongshan County, Zhen's family.

Heavy snow covered the luxurious courtyard, and the rockery and streams were full of thick snow, which looked extraordinarily chic.

No matter how cold it is outside, the warm air in the house is flowing, and you can't feel the slightest chill in just wearing a single shirt.

however,

Several people knelt on the ground, wearing thick padded jackets, but their bodies still couldn't get warm.

"Uncle, get up and talk."

"A man kneels on his knees and kneels on his parents. How can an uncle kneel down for his sister-in-law? If it gets out, no one will say anything nasty."

On the main seat, a solemn lady opened her lips lightly, with a little anger in her words.

Of the three people kneeling in front of her, the elder was her uncle-in-law, that is, her husband's elder brother.

The other two young men are the sons of the uncle-in-law, that is, her nephews.

There is also a middle-aged woman who is Si's wife, the official wife of her uncle.

The uncle's family knelt in front of her with faces full of fear.Those who didn't know thought she was vicious, but in fact, the family was embarrassing her at the moment.

"Di Fu, you can help our family."

"This matter has attracted the attention of the imperial court. If you refuse to help, all the men of the Zhen family will be arrested and investigated by the imperial court. The Zhen family will never be seen again."

"You can't bear to see, the Zhen family is broken, right?"

Si Fu knelt on the ground with snot and tears, but refused to get up.

As soon as she cried, Zhang's heart softened immediately.

When she married into the Zhen family, she already regarded herself as a member of the Zhen family.

Everything he did now was for the Zhen family.

It's a pity that she gave birth to five daughters, all of whom were of national beauty, but she failed to leave a male for the Zhen family, while the uncle's family gave birth to four males.

My son-in-law is mediocre, so he is not expected to be an official.

Therefore, after Zhen Yi's death, the Zhen family no longer had an official status, and they all relied on the Zhang family to manage the Zhen family's business and barely supported it.

after that,

When the emperor came to Zhen's house, he valued the five daughters of Erfang very much, and sent them all to study at Imperial College.Since then, the Zhen family has been in full swing, becoming the largest merchant family in Jizhou and even Hebei!

Officials from all over the country fawned on him one after another, and officials from aristocratic families visited him every day.

At this time, the eldest son proposed to adopt the youngest son to the second wife, so that the second wife would not have any offspring.

Mrs. Zhang was naturally happy when she heard it, so she said a few good words for Erfang in front of Prime Minister Zhongshan. The four sons of Erfang were recommended as officials one after another.

However, the eldest room was reluctant to adopt the child who had worked so hard to bring up to the second room.

So he used various reasons to prevaricate, and he did not adopt him for a long time.

Of course, Mrs. Zhang is not a narrow-minded person, and did not pursue this matter.

The two families lived in peace and harmony.

However, the calm was completely broken by a big snowstorm.

Just now, Da Fang suddenly dragged his family and found her crying, begging her for help.

And brought over the youngest son who "has a lot of opportunities every day", and immediately adopted him!

After some understanding, Mrs. Zhang knew what the whole family had done!

Their family now has two county magistrates and one county magistrate.

Even the elderly uncle, relying on the Zhen family's relationship, became the Cangcao of Puyin County.

However, these two county magistrates did not do good things, and secretly played a trick of corruption. Most of the food and money that should have been in the county government warehouse went into their own pockets.

In addition, Zhen's firm was used to launder money.

Because of the special relationship between the Zhen family, everyone did not suspect them, and everything was done very covertly.

Without this snowstorm, no one would have found the treasury empty.

Now it happened,

Bao Hong, the governor of Jizhou, reported the matter to the imperial court, and locked himself in a prison car, waiting for the imperial court's punishment.

To know,

Bao Hong is an old group of generals who followed His Majesty to conquer the world, and even he couldn't protect himself, so the eldest son of the Zhen family naturally panicked.

They thought that someone above would protect them.

Now, I can only ask Di Fu for help.

Because they vaguely know the relationship between Di Fu and His Majesty.

"Uncle, aunt, the only way now is to surrender."

Just when Zhang was in danger, an eleven or twelve-year-old girl standing behind her suddenly spoke.

The youngest daughter of Erfang, Zhen Mi.

Her five sisters are all studying at Luoyang Imperial College. They came back this time to give birth to their mother. They didn't expect to encounter such a thing when they first entered the house.

Zhen Mi is very smart,

She knew His Majesty's attitude towards corrupt officials, and if she surrendered, she might be spared death.

"Little Mi, do you know how many people died this time? More than 3000 people."

"In Puyin alone, more than 600 people died, more than 600! Surrender yourself, isn't that the same as jumping into the fire pit?"

"You have stayed in Luoyang for so long, and you will always know some high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Hurry up and find a way for uncle."

Zhen tenon said in a painful voice.

His wife, Yang Shi, came forward on her knees and took Zhen Mi's hand, "Little Mi, you are the smartest in our family. Do you know that uncle and aunt love you the most, and you must find a way to save her?" us."

Playing the emotional card has always been what their big room is best at.

Zhen Mi said calmly,

"Auntie, His Majesty's Jin Yiwei will definitely investigate this matter to the bottom, and those who are involved in this matter will inevitably be involved."

"Rather than being found out by His Majesty, it is better to admit your mistakes."

"You surrender yourself, and the Zhen family will contribute money and efforts to relieve the victims and make up for your mistakes. You are not the main culprits, and I believe His Majesty will give you a lighter punishment."

With this remark,

Zhen Yu was stunned on the spot, he looked at Zhen Mi in panic, and stammered, "You... how do you know, we are not the main culprits!"

From the very beginning, he took all the problems in Puyin County on himself.

Zhen Mi just came back, how did she see through it at a glance?

"First of all, my uncle and my brothers don't have the ability to evade taxes, seize official food, and change business taxes. Every quarter, the state and county will send people to check."

"Secondly, there was such a serious disaster in the north. The governor did not send people to rescue the disaster immediately. Instead, he reported the matter to the court and locked himself up. This shows that he does not want to rescue, but he is incapable of rescue. .Even he can’t do anything about it, there must be state officials involved.”

"Combining the above two points, it shows that this matter is very involved. Uncle and several elder brothers are very likely to be making money for others without knowing it."

Zhen Mi's calm analysis stunned Zhen Yu and the two sons next to him.

Is she really, just a 12-year-old girl!

No, you have already joined Jinyiwei.

They were afraid of Jin Yiwei's methods, so they didn't dare to surrender.

"No! Absolutely not!"

"Don't turn yourself in!"

Zhenten shook his head desperately, and walked towards Mrs. Zhang on his knees, "Miss, please save our family. Only you can save our lives now."

Zhen Mi's words woke him up: If he turns himself in, he will definitely die!

……

Chapter 441 Skynet Huihui, the real mastermind behind the scenes

"Uncle, why can't you surrender yourself?"

Seeing Zhen Tenon's terrified look, Zhen Mi frowned.

She can be sure that as long as they are willing to surrender and the Zhen family contributes some money, there will be no problem in saving their lives.
