Efforts to kill the enemy is not as good as the full level of tea art

After Zhang Hong was arrested, the entire General's Mansion was immediately searched, and a large number of letters between him and his former governor of Yingzhou were found from the mansion.

It turned out that long before the outbreak of the Northern Xinjiang War, the governor fell into the abyss of deficit.In order to eliminate officials, the Ministry of Households strictly required all deficit personnel to make up their accounts. The governor of Yingzhou had no choice but to find ways to collect money, and even his party members were implicated.And because of his wife's relationship with the governor of Yingzhou, Zhang Hong was also extra careful.

The years of war in Kuangshi gave the governor and Zhang Hong's people a chance to breathe, and Zhang Hong also made a lot of personal gain by reselling military rations in private.Seeing that he could avoid being picketed by the court with the last sum of money left, suddenly a prairie man contacted him.

"This Zhang Hong, I don't know whether he is telling the truth or trying to shirk responsibility."

Wang Rong shook his confession and sighed repeatedly: "I keep saying that those prairie people contacted him. He said that when he was shopping in the market one day, a group of people who looked like a caravan stopped him. This The group of grassland people knew all the activities and plots between him and the governor of Yingzhou, and even the specific amount of money owed. Zhang Hong said that he was scared to death at the time."

Zhuo Yue frowned: "So the prairie people took the opportunity to blackmail Zhang Hong and let him steal the firecrackers? This doesn't make sense at all. Although he resells the military rations, it's almost an open secret, and it can't be regarded as his trick. In the end, the debt owed That sum of money is not much, why should he take the risk?"

Wang Rong sneered: "Brother Zhuo, the debt is tens of millions of taels. Do you think you can make it up by reselling a few batches of grain and grass?"

Zhuo Yue was stunned.

"Do you know what 'slaughtering fat sheep' is?" Wang Rong sneered, "It's a trick to corrupt personal morality. Use innocent people to replace those prisoners who were exiled in the original border. These innocent people are fat sheep. A fat sheep, At least it is worth a million taels of silver."

Zhuo Yue couldn't help but widen his eyes.

The frontier is cold and the environment is harsh. Those prisoners sentenced to exile in the capital are usually detained in the quarries near the northern border to work.The quarry was difficult, and the overseer beat people without restraint. Many people who were sentenced to life-long exile died in northern Xinjiang within a year.

However, if the prisoner is rich enough to afford a "fat sheep", their fate will be different.

The dignified governor of Yingzhou even connived at his party members by collecting gold and silver to "exchange the civet cat for the prince", which is simply lawless.If it weren't for the firecracker incident this time, the case of "Fat Sheep" might not have been brought to light. I don't know how many innocent souls wandered between the heavens and the earth, and how many vicious people got away with it.

Zhuo Yue was so angry that he clenched his fists and said in a hateful voice: "Lawless!"

"This matter is too involved. General Lou wrote a memorial overnight and sent it to the capital quickly, probably to alarm the Holy Majesty." Wang Rong looked solemn, "If Zhang Hong is also involved in the matter of 'slaughtering fat sheep', The prairie people can indeed threaten to move him."

Zhuo Yue frowned, and exchanged glances with Wang Rong, both of them understood each other's doubts at the same time.

This is the first time even they have heard of such a thing as "slaughtering fat sheep".

How did the prairie people learn about it?

Wang Rong patted Zhuo Yue's shoulder and said comfortingly: "Okay, anyway, Zhang Hong, a person who has been secretly collaborating with the enemy army, has been caught, and this matter will come to an end for the time being. I didn't expect to investigate a traitor and return him with mud and roots." The 'Fat Sheep Case' has been withdrawn, and some people have been busy recently."

Zhuo Yue nodded, did not bother Wang Rong anymore, and left.

He was very preoccupied, and while he was thinking about things, he was walking, but he was stopped by a person waiting outside without paying attention.

As soon as Zhuo Yue raised his head, he was stunned: "It's you?"

A Danzhu's face was pale, she didn't know how long she had been waiting in the cold winter, and now she forced a smile to him: "Zhuo Da—General Zhuo, can I have a word with you?"

----

At the same time, Fu Wang was also waiting in front of the post where Zhuo Yue lived.

He was still wearing the half-worn cotton jacket, with his hands in the sleeves, and he was looking up at a pair of frolicking sparrows in the treetops.He originally had a round baby face, with slender eyebrows and thin lips, even though he was delicate, he seemed a little arrogant and mean.

But he has lost a lot of weight in this year, and the line of his jaw between his head and jaw is getting thinner.And the thin facial features and such thinness unexpectedly complemented each other, the meanness of the son of gold and jade in the past was gone, only the coldness and indifference remained.

Like a flower drawn on paper, its shape is beautiful, but it is a half-destroyed work in the end.

"Brother Fu Wang?"

Fu Wang looked away, looked at Li Changxing who was standing on the steps, and slowly narrowed his eyes.

Li Changxing smiled slowly, with a relaxed and friendly expression: "Are you here to see Brother Zhuo? He's not here."

Fu Wang nodded: "Then I'll come back someday."

"It's okay, he should be back soon." Li Changxing turned slightly, "Why don't you come in and wait."

Fu Wang's eyes turned cold.He looked at Li Changxing and at the door behind Li Changxing, as if he was thinking about something.Li Changxing was not in a hurry, looked at him with a smile, and waited quietly.After a while, Fu Wang finally took a step and walked in slowly.Li Changxing smiled and closed the door behind his back.

"What kind of tea does Brother Fu Wang drink?" Li Changxing lit the small clay stove, "It's better to drink some hot tea in winter."

Fu Wang sat with a flat face: "You are the prince of the grassland, you better stop calling me 'brother'."

Li Changxing smiled: "Are you also a person who cares about this kind of politeness? Actually, it doesn't matter. The person I should really call brother doesn't look like a brother."

The water in the small tandoor was gurgling.

Li Changxing lifted the lid, and a puff of water smoke steamed up: "Why did Brother Fu Wang come to find Brother Zhuo all of a sudden today?"

"It's nothing, I have something I want to talk to him about. Actually, if it's not convenient today, you can do it another day."

"Oh." Li Changxing said with a smile, "Didn't Brother Fu Wang even write the letter to tell him to return home? If you don't see Brother Zhuo today, are you planning to leave without saying goodbye?"

Fu Wang paused.

His dark eyes looked at the front calmly, and after a while he raised his lips and smiled: "Third Prince, if you have something to say, just speak up. Even if you don't make this tea for me, I will answer any questions you have."

"How did you say that? I should have this bit of courtesy." Li Changxing sighed with a smile, "I just hope that Brother Fu Wang won't dislike my poor tea art. The tea I brew is bitter and unpalatable."

He raised his hand to pour boiling water into the teapot, and closed the lid with a "click".

"This pot of tea is not bad. Let's drink it three times." He ordered the teapot and looked at Fu Wang with a smile. Think about it word by word."
