After rebirth, I found out that the tyrant's white moonlight is me

This matter fermented the next day.

Because this incident happened two days ago, and it was only submitted to the Emperor Tianjing case now, Zhi Susi, who was mainly involved in the case, had already obtained almost all the evidence they should investigate when he reported it.

Hearing that Emperor Tianjing's face was not very good at that time, he immediately announced Wen Yu to enter the palace.

Wen Yu had already known the news from Xie Miao before, but she didn't pay much attention to it.

In fact, Xie Qian also understands that the reservoir has been built for a long time, and it is basically impossible to go back to the specific process of the year. Impossible not to take responsibility.

Xie Qian and Chu Lingyue wanted to enter the palace together, but Wen Yu told them to wait in the Chiling mansion.

No matter how anxious they are, they can only wait at the house.

Wen Yu didn't come back from the palace until it was dark.

As soon as Xie Qian saw her, he went up to meet her: "Mother Concubine, how are you?"

Wen Yu didn't let it go, and said directly: "Your Majesty said that the Suicheng Reservoir has been in disrepair for a long time, and now it has accidentally caused a catastrophe. This is something no one wants to see. The responsibility for ineffectiveness is to order the Red Order Army in Suicheng to deal with the aftermath of the water disaster, and Xie Wuya, as the commander of the Red Army Army, will be fined for one year, and military merits will not be recorded during the fine period."

In fact, this punishment is nothing to them, even if there is no such punishment, the Suicheng Chiling Army will still take on this matter; and Xie Wuya's military merits are already nothing by now.

And it didn't put a bigger label on the Chiling Mansion, such as cutting corners to make profits, etc., but just said that the supervision was not effective.

But when Xie Qian and Chu Lingyue heard this, their faces changed.

Xie Qian frowned: "I will be fined on the spot today? What about the others?"

Wen Yu glanced at him, then shook his head: "Nothing else."

Neither gave the Chi Lingfu a chance to argue, nor held other ministries accountable.

The Chi Ling Mansion was directly asked to bear this responsibility in a muffled voice, and then the matter was exposed like this.

"Why?" Xie Qian raised his eyes, and there was some boyish impulsiveness in his expression, "Why should we take the blame? Should the Chiling Mansion make wedding dresses for others? And how many problems are there behind this incident? , His Majesty can’t see it? No matter how big his hand behind Susi’s Weiyun Mansion and Sikong’s Mansion is, it can still surpass Da Chu’s law, and can he cover the sky with one hand?!”

Wen Yu sighed: "You also know that this matter involves a lot. Pull out the carrot and bring out the mud. Who knows if the court will be overthrown after a thorough investigation. How can your majesty not understand."

Xie Qian said stubbornly: "Since you understand, why don't you clear it up?"

Wen Yu said: "In such a big country and court, who can eradicate all the lesions? What His Majesty is doing now is the most stable choice so far."

"It's just passing by with one eye turned a blind eye," Xie Qian couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty has always acted like this. For so many years, our Chiling Mansion has been less responsible for him because he thinks it's troublesome." ?”

"Day and night," Wen Yuwen gave him a serious look, "Speak carefully!"

Xie Qian closed his mouth unwillingly, but there was still anger between his brows and eyes.

Wen Yu took a long breath, as if she wanted to let out her own dissatisfaction: "Okay, let's leave this matter as it is. I'll send a letter to ask your sister to return to Beijing."

Seeing this, Xie Qian also understood that he was not the only one who complained at this moment. Emperor Tianjing and his mother and concubine were brothers and sisters in name after all, and his mother and concubine might be even more unwilling in their hearts.

But Emperor Tianjing is the master of this country, so what can they do.

Wen Yu told him again: "Go back first, don't do anything else."

"understood."

Then they bid farewell to Wen Yu, but Xie Qian didn't notice that Chu Lingyue didn't say a word until they left the house and got into the carriage.

Chu Ling lowered his eyes, Xie Qian couldn't see the emotion in his eyes clearly, but he could feel that he was suppressing his temper at the moment, and his whole body was full of cold breath.

Just when Xie Qian was about to say something, Chu Lingyue suddenly looked at him: "Your Majesty won't investigate, I will."

Xie Qian raised the corner of his mouth and smiled at him, but didn't comment.

Chu Lingyue felt distressed in his eyes, touched Xie Qian's cheek with his fingertips and said, "You don't have to smile if you're not happy."

Xie Qian leaned over and put his face on Chu Lingyue's shoulder: "I'm not unhappy, it's hard to say."

Probably... a little weak.

Chu Lingyue caressed his back: "This matter won't just die down like this."

Xie Qian said: "But even if we find out about this matter, if His Majesty is unwilling to listen or read, what can we do?"

Xie Qian asked casually, Chu Lingyue opened his mouth, but was stunned.

What he knew since he was a child was that as a child of the Chu family, he had to do everything for the continuation of the Chu family, and he had to protect the Chu family's majestic imperial power from any infringement at all times.

But he never thought about what he should do when the imperial power was contrary to what he wanted?

Seeing that he didn't speak at this time, Xie Qian guessed that he must also be embarrassed, so Xie Qian said: "Don't want to be unhappy, okay?"

Perhaps Chu Lingyue was a little out of his mind at this time, and suddenly confided something in his heart: "But this matter is related to the Chiling Mansion, how can I not think about it?"

Xie Qian was taken aback: "Did you want to investigate because of our family?"

But as soon as he asked the words, he realized that he had thought less.

Based on Chu Lingyue's usual thoughts, Xie Qian thought that he was so concerned because this matter really touched the stability and face of the Chu royal family.

But now it seems that their Chiling Mansion and Shenshu Mansion have shared weal and woe, so it is normal for Chu Ling to care more.

Therefore, Xie Qian did not continue to wait for an answer.

But he didn't know that his second question gave Chu Lingyue a second blow.

Chu Lingyue blinked, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

He got angry when he heard about this yesterday, but he didn't think about the reason behind it.

Now that I think about it, the reason why he was angry at that time didn't seem to be all because of the involvement of the Chu family and the Chiling Mansion.

At that time, a picture flashed through his mind, that is, if there is a real famine, the fields in the northern border will be cracked and the grains will not be harvested, and the people will be skinny and have no way to survive. It seems that it is easier to die than to live...

Therefore, he was angry at the time because those people put their interests above all people.

But he had never thought about it before.

Even sometimes when he heard Xie Qian take the responsibility of the entire northern border on himself between words, he neither understood nor agreed with him in his heart. It's just because I subconsciously feel that Xie Qian will be unhappy after talking about it.

So when did he become such a person?

The more Chu Ling couldn't figure it out, he felt faintly in his heart that he seemed to be breaking out of some kind of ideological cage, and was about to enter a wider world.

After that, the two of them didn't talk about it anymore, and after returning to Zishuo's mansion, they both seemed to have their own concerns, so they took a rest early.

Silent all night.

And in the next few days, Xie Qian went to Dianmao as usual, and after Xie Miao returned to Beijing, the two of them did not continue to discuss this matter, and when they heard it mentioned by others, they just laughed it off.

It seemed that their Chiling Mansion had really silently acknowledged this matter.

In the blink of an eye, April is coming, and Gu Chenwei is going to serve in the Imperial Academy, and at the same time, Zhuang Zhiyuan is also going to Yumasi.

Xie Qian inquired about the news, and heard that Zhuang Zhiyuan went to Yumasi on his first day, cursing and cursing while washing horses and picking manure, and the smell on his body was so strong that he could smell it a foot away.

Zhuang Zhiyuan persisted for five days.

On the sixth day, the person Xie Qian sent out to follow came back and reported that Zhuang Zhiyuan had arranged for someone who looked eight times like him to replace him, and that Zhuang Zhiyuan's convoy that had entered Beijing would not be here today. Leave Beijing and return to Yanshan City.

Xie Qian nodded when he heard the words, then found an excuse to leave the Dianke Division, and went to the North Gate Liuting to guard in person.

Fortunately he came early, just after noon, Zhuang Zhiyuan's carriage had already left the city.

Xie Qian saw the timing right, he seemed to be able to see only a shadow in a flash, and when he looked again, the other person was no longer there.

He sneaked in from the rear of the Shonohara carriages and got under one of the carriages.

Xie Qian listened intently from the bottom and confirmed that there was no living thing in the carriage, so he freed one hand and took out a dagger from his waist. There is also a layer of defensive tactics on it.

Fortunately, Xie Qian has practiced well recently, so he broke the tactic in two or three strokes, and then with a light swipe, the bottom of the carriage was scratched through.

Xie Qian originally wanted to remove the two planks so that he could go in and find out, but maybe he scratched deeply and tore through the bag in the carriage. The particles rustled down.

Xie Qian reached out to take a handful, and it turned out to be full of new rice!

Although this was within Xie Qian's expectation, seeing such a situation at this time, he still couldn't help but feel angry.

Later, based on the principle of innocence, Xie Qian endured his anger and sealed the hole, then moved lightly and slid out from under the car.

After going out, he hid behind a tree and watched Zhuang Zhiyuan's convoy drifting away with his own eyes, his brows gradually became serious.

But when he turned around, he found that Chu Lingyue was standing not far behind him and looking at him.

Xie Qian was taken aback, as if he hadn't expected why he appeared here, but before he could ask, Chu Lingyue took the lead. When Chu Lingyue looked over, there was still a teasing smile in his eyes: "Didn't you say you don't care about it?"

"I didn't say it!" Xie Qian blinked, feeling a little embarrassed, and then he asked, "What about you? What are you doing here?"

Chu Lingyue said: "Investigate the case, as I said before, I will continue to investigate."

This was the truth, Xie Qian was choked so speechless, he stared at Chu Lingyue for a while, and then couldn't help laughing, Chu Lingyue looked at him with a smile on his face.

Xie Qian thought, even if they can't do anything right now, they still need a clear mind, after all, not everything can be done perfunctorily.

Xie Qian walked over, and then showed him the handful of rice in his hand: "Here, Zhi Susi and the dealer will jointly play a game."

A few days ago, Xie Qian sent out to follow the five collectors who bought the five expensive ancient paintings in Ming Cui Xuan, and sent back news, saying that they had been following for a long time, and finally came to the result. They all have one thing in common. They are either fellow villagers in the southeast of Weiyun Mansion, or former disciples of Zhisu Mansion. Anyway, they have more or less secret relationships with these two prefectures.

Xie Qian said: "They are clearly acquaintances, but they still conduct transactions through Ming Cuixuan, and the transactions are so secretive, it is hard not to make people suspect that they are not laundering money."

Chu Lingyue nodded when he heard the words, obviously he also came to a common conclusion.

Speaking of this, Xie Qian suddenly changed the subject: "I got some news through the Chiling Mansion, but I got some news through Lingxi Miscellaneous News, how about you? How did you find out?"

Chu Lingyue almost choked when he suddenly heard him mention the Lingxi Zabao, and managed to stabilize his expression.

But Xie Qian automatically understood it as mysterious, and he just mentioned it casually, without insisting on getting an answer, he said: "It seems that the people in your Shenshu Palace are more powerful than I imagined. "

After finishing speaking, he continued to mention the previous matter. He carefully analyzed the situation at that time. The food washed away by the water in Suicheng was old rice that was about to rot, but these rice came from the granary in the suburbs of Beijing.

The suburbs of Beijing are still under the jurisdiction of Changfujing, and Beijing is no more crowded than other places, and there are countless people with high official ranks who can enter the granary. Zhisu Mansion does not have the courage to pile so much rotten rice in the granary Because the rice in the granary is purchased from rice merchants from all over the country every year, and distributed according to the actual situation, it is impossible for there to be so much rotten rice.

Xie Qian thought over and over for a long time, and finally came up with a suspicious place - the long line of carriages that followed Zhuang Zhiyuan when he entered Beijing a year ago.

At that time, Xie Qian was dazzled by his big golden carriage, but he never noticed how much grain and rice he could hold if the remaining carriages were all emptied.

Xie Qian didn't know why Gu Chenwei didn't tell him about it at the time, and he didn't know if this was Gu Chenwei's last repayment to the dealer, but later Gu Chenwei also told him that the rice in Suicheng was rotten rice. So he didn't want to worry about what Gu Chenwei was thinking anymore.

Xie Qian said: "The banker is a big business in the local area, and the rotten rice hoarded in his hands is bound to be indispensable, but it is a pity to throw away the rotten rice, and it can also generate ill-gotten wealth."

The Zhuang family sent rotten rice to Beijing in exchange for the good rice collected by the Zhisu Mansion. The Zhisu Mansion must have gained a lot of benefits from the Zhuang family.

Such a cycle is really a good deal for both of them.

"Zhuang Zhiyuan also endured it and waited until the limelight passed before leaving Beijing with these blood and sweat."

Chu Lingyue narrowed his eyes: "They can't swallow it this time."

Xie Qian was noncommittal, and then asked: "However, I have never found out where the Zhisu Mansion hid this batch of new rice. It is impossible to hoard it in the granary in the suburbs of Beijing so blatantly."

"At Xing'an Inn."

The more Chu Ling said this, Xie Qian understood in an instant, and at the same time he felt deeply that he was careless.

Zhuang Zhiyuan has been living in the Xing'an Inn since he entered Beijing, but with Zhuang Zhiyuan's character, he is obviously not such a peaceful person.

Furthermore, since the Sun family and the Li family have a connection of interests, the Weiyun Mansion must also be involved in this matter, and the Weiyun Mansion used to be in charge of the Gyeonggi patrol, so they want to transport these things to the An Inn without anyone noticing. It couldn't be easier.

Xie Qian was a little annoyed, thinking that he had forgotten this, but at the same time he was also puzzled: "How do you know?"

"Find someone to find out what Qin Xiang said in Xunxiang Pavilion."

"It's Tan Xiang again, this Li Pingfeng has stumbled a lot on her, she really misleads others with her beauty."

The more Chu Ling couldn't hear Xie Qian's praise of others, she couldn't help but said, "Is it beautiful?"

Xie Qian glanced at him with a smile, and said sweetly, "You are even more misleading."

Chu Ling felt that no matter how much she listened to, she couldn't get used to Xie Qian's sweet words, and at this moment, she couldn't help but her ears turned red.

Then Xie Qian went up to pull him back, and said as he walked: "Zhuang Zhiyuan's convoy will definitely pass through Suicheng when they return to Yanshan City. It's hard to find a hair."

But Chu Lingyue said: "The Chiling Mansion should not come forward, I will handle this matter."

Xie Qian seemed to know what Chu Lingyue was worried about. He smiled and said, "Is there any difference between you and I? At that time, they will be arrested over there, and the capital will be the big one. By then There are so many places for you to deal with."

The more Chu Ling thought about it, the more she thought about it, so she stopped arguing with him.

Then Xie Qian said: "Our husband...well, if we are of the same heart, its benefits will cut through gold."

Chu Lingyue's ears are good at this time, and he is more willing to listen to Xie Qian's good words than to be shy, so he asked: "Husband what?"

"……nothing."

"What exactly?"

"nothing!"

"Tell me."

Xie Qian glared at him, and became angry from embarrassment: "Husbands are of the same mind! Husbands are of the same mind! Let's go!"

"Okay." Chu Lingyue finally laughed, and for the first time revealed the tip of the iceberg of what he had said to Xie Qian, "I hope that your heart will always be like mine."
