Ming Ting

Chapter 82: showdown

Views:

After these high-ranking officials entered, the door was quickly closed, and various voices gradually sounded inside. I don't know if it was far away or other reasons, but I didn't hear it very clearly.

Zhou Zheng, these princes stood outside the door, motionless, and crossed with the guards, very neat and regular.

The blue veins on Zhou Zheng's head were still beating, but his heart gradually calmed down. Instead of looking at Li Hengbing, he raised his ears and listened to the sound inside the door.

He couldn't hear exactly what he was saying, but he could feel someone beating the table, roaring, and ministers arguing for reason. The voices alternated in turn, which meant that they didn't want to give up.

It didn't take long for those voices to disappear, and there was only one voice that kept saying something, vague, unclear, and still audible very angry.

Then, the voice became even more angry, as if it was smashing something, banging.

Without waiting for Zhou Zheng to think carefully, his face suddenly changed slightly, and a group of Jinyiwei rushed up, standing at the door, holding an iron rod.

There was a leader of the inner supervisor, staring coldly at the closed door with an angry expression on his face.

But these people did not rush in, and the angry voices in the door seemed to have stopped. Not long after, another voice rang. Zhou Zheng couldn't hear what was being said, but it seemed to go well without the smell of gunpowder.

Zhou Zheng stood at the door with his face as usual, and he shook his head secretly. Although I don't know what happened, but in a word, there is something wrong. Ten days and a half months may not stop, I just don't know if Zhejiang Road will be affected.

As far as major events are concerned, the supervisor will never be absent. Regardless of whether you are really dedicated to your country or trying to make your name clear, you can do it!

I don't know how long the palace gate was opened again, and these adults came out in groups, walking and talking.

Zhou Zheng looked at these people and watched them leave and walk away.

The two people who walked out at the end suddenly stopped and talked at the door.

One of them said: "It's not that I don't give money, it's that I really have no money, don't you know the wealth of the treasury?"

Another said: "You said that there is no money, but the floods of the Yellow River this summer have caused public grievances and hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced. If we don't repair them, what can we do next year?"

"You ask me, who do I ask me? The treasury's money is in Yuanfu's hands, you ask him to go and ask for it..."

"My eldest man, you are so pitiful and pitiful, and you approve 200,000, but 200,000. I don't want more than 200,000. I will repair the river for 200,000 so that the victims can return to their hometown..."

"... I really don't have any money. Let's go. Cao Yun owes 180,000 taels of silver to the Ministry of Household. If you want to come back, you will give it to you, otherwise you will kill me, and I can't help..."

After this person finished speaking, he waved his hand and left. The other hurriedly chased after him, still begging.

Zhou Zheng looked at the two people running after you one after the other, his eyes were a little confused.

The Yellow River burst, there was a great flood, countless victims, such a major thing, just like this in a few words, do nothing

Zhou Zheng wanted to wait for Huang Liji, but Huang Liji never came out, as if he had followed the emperor.

Not long after, the Palace of Qianqing closed slowly, and Hu Qingzheng breathed a sigh of relief, and walked over and said in a low voice: "Let's go, let's talk about it later."

Zhou Zheng also opened his eyes today. He glanced at Li Hengbing who had already turned around, ah, like when he came, lined up, starting from the front of the Qianqing Palace, returning to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and after hitting the Mao, they returned to the classroom.

It's not time to get off work, everyone has to wait. But there was no meal for a day, and more than forty classrooms were busy.

Yao Tongshun was going in and out, arranging meals for Zhou Zheng and reporting various news.

Zhou Zheng did not sigh with emotion about the collapse of Da Ming's official governance, but was thinking about Li Hengbing's affairs, his eyes faint like a deep sea, shining with subtle brilliance.

For a while, Yao Tongshun saw that Zhou Zheng was still thinking about eating while he was eating. He already knew what was going on before the Qing Palace. He approached and whispered: "My lord, this matter should still be discussed with Li Yushi, otherwise it is. The result of both losses."

In Yao Tongshun's view, Zhou Zhengneng has shown sufficient ability to settle the case of Deng Wengu. No matter how deep the background is, Li Hengbing will not face life and death because of a single sentence. He should be settled with a meal like an officialdom, and then work hand in hand to promote and make money together.

Suddenly Zhou Zheng's chopsticks stopped, and he raised his head abruptly, looking at Yao Tongshun, his eyes piercing.

Yao Tongshun was startled, and then cautiously said: "My lord, did the villain say something wrong?"

Zhou Zheng put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth, his expression was very calm, and he said, "You are right. At this time, it's time to talk frankly."

Yao Tongshun watched Zhou Zheng stand up with joy and surprise on his face, and he quickly said: "My lord, don't be impulsive. All kindness is more important."

Zhou Zheng didn't seem to hear him. He left the classroom and went straight to Li Hengbing's classroom.

Yao Tongshun was very worried, but didn't dare to follow. He could only stand at the door and watch Zhou Zheng approach Li Hengbing's class room.

Li Hengbing was eating, the clear soup was lacking in water and there was no oiliness at all.

He saw Zhou Zheng walking to the door and said nothing, and continued to eat, as usual.

Zhou Zheng didn’t report anything. He walked straight in and came to Li Hengbing’s table. He glanced at his food and saw a string of Buddhist beads on the table. He looked at Li Hengbing’s face and said, “I’ve got a demon in my heart. Can't be saved."

Li Hengbing paused his chopsticks, then put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, raised his head and looked at Zhou Zheng, and said lightly: "Are you here for a showdown?"

Zhou Zheng looked at him with a gloomy look and said, "If you want to harm me with your ability and means, you can come directly, a fatal move, why are you so detour?"

"I'm testing you." Li Hengbing replied casually, his gloomy expression diminished, and he became more majestic and upright.

Just like Zhou Zheng saw him for the first time, Zhou Zheng was a little surprised at his directness, and said, "What will test me?"

Li Hengbing stared at Zhou Zheng, like a tiger ready to go, his voice was as sharp as a sword, and said: "Li Shi has sent you money and power, can you stand the money in front of power and wealth? Heart? You said before that I only donated three hundred taels. It is selfish and has no intention of serving the country... What about you, with so much money in hand, how much do you plan to donate to the court?"

"Because of this?" Zhou Zheng's eyes flickered. If he did so many things just like this, wouldn't it be abnormal

Li Hengbing said: "Yes, you can answer my question."

Zhou Zheng couldn't see the truth or falsehood of his words from Li Hengbing's face, he pondered for a moment, and said, "Don't donate anything."

Li Hengbing looked surprised, and said, "Don't donate anything?"

Zhou Zheng raised his head and looked awe-inspiring, and said: "If I donate a hundred taels to the court, less than a dozen taels can be implemented. I can directly donate to the generals on the front line. I can buy food and supplies for them... If there is a national crisis. , I will take up arms to defend the city, rather than smash the jade, never bow to my knees, kneel and kowtow to call a slave..."

Li Hengbing listened, silent for a while, and suddenly said, "I can do it too."

Zhou Zheng looked at him, but shook his head, and said, "If you come out of the imprisonment, it means that you are not such a person. Don't lie to yourself."

Li Hengbing's face suddenly sank, his eyes widened and bloodshot, his eyes were extremely cold and staring at Zhou Zheng, and he said word by word: "You know these words of you will kill you!" (End of this chapter)
