Su Wen's gaze swept across the people in the Martial Supervisor Division, and finally landed on Xue Wanjun.
He was riding on a horse with an indifferent expression on his face.
It seemed that he was not at all curious about Lu Qingcai's death, but just exchanged everyone's arrangements with that master.
The team entered Yong County.
The next morning, we started our journey back to Kyoto again.
Su Wen didn't do anything.
He can't do anything either.
He is just a deacon of the Supervisory Division.
Want to investigate Lu Qingcai's death? Why
All the way to the outside of Lizhou, it was different from when I came.
In the countryside, most of the bones have disappeared.
The rancid smell has also dissipated.
When the spring rain falls, everything exudes vitality.
As if everything has passed.
Not a trace was left.
Walking all the way, delicious food and drink, local officials wholeheartedly entertained.
The people in the city were full of hope for the new year. When Su Wen left Lizhou, he even had the illusion that this was not a county where rebellion and famine had just happened. Everyone was smiling happily.
After going out to Kyoto, Su Wen felt a little homesick.
After returning to the capital, Su Wen and others finished their work reports, and he returned home immediately.
Ningshuang at home arranged for someone to cook Su Wen's favorite meals. On this day, Su Wen drank a lot of wine and talked about Journey to the West many times.
At noon the next day, Su Wencai pulled himself out of the warm and fragrant nephrite.
Go straight to the prime minister's mansion.
"Daddy! Daddy!"
As soon as Su Wen entered the door, he shouted loudly.
Su Changqing rubbed the center of his brows, walked out of the room, looked at him and said angrily, "What are you yelling about?"
"I have something to ask you!"
Su Wen entered the room, father and son sat down, Su Changqing asked casually: "Ask what?"
"The disaster in Lizhou! What's going on?" Su Wen looked serious.
Su Changqing smiled and said: "The disaster situation in Lizhou? It's over. This morning, Mufeng Yuanchun in Lizhou has submitted a memorial. The disaster situation in Lizhou is urgent, and there is a faint tendency to riot. All ministries can only give priority to comforting the people in the counties and counties. To ensure the stability of the counties and counties, the disaster relief Chen Bingzhong embezzled and embezzled the relief food, causing riots among the victims. Some of the martial arts sects took the lead, and rebels appeared, looting everywhere, massacring the people, and the county magistrates led the army to resist. When Wu Yuhu arrived, the front was invincible, the rebels fled in a hurry, and there were countless casualties. Afterwards, they turned into rioters, and there was no serious problem. Everywhere was recounting the loss of population. In order to prevent the land from being barren, they are organizing manual farming as soon as possible to fight for taxes this year. Still paid on time and in full.”
Su Wen looked at Su Changqing, did his father really know nothing
Su Wen was a little excited: "But from my point of view, the turmoil in Lizhou is clearly the result of the collusion between the government and the aristocratic families, together with those martial arts sects, they put on a big show together! They annexed land wantonly, bought and sold the young and strong population, It caused countless tragic deaths of the people, and then passed the rebellion to blame the lost population on the rebels to cover up the fact that their disaster relief was not good. What kind of natural disaster is this? It is clearly a man-made disaster!"
Su Changqing's face did not change the slightest expression.
After Su Wen finished speaking, he looked at Su Wen and asked with a smile, "Then, where is your evidence? Are there any witnesses?"
In one sentence, Su Wen was left speechless.
Su Changqing sighed, and said: "This matter has been out of control since Chen Bingzhong's death! They have already completed the layout, even if what you said is the truth, can you still catch them?"
"Those young men bought by the aristocratic family!" Su Wen thought of another breakthrough.
Su Changqing shook his head and said, "One is willing to buy and the other is willing to buy. Can you prove that they are connected with the government?"
"Go find some disaster victims! There are always victims who escaped from Lizhou and survived!"
Su Changqing shook his head and said: "What do the victims know? They know that the government didn't give them food! But now you ask the people in Lizhou, which one is not lucky that the government did the disaster relief properly? If you can get a hundred victims to testify, Lizhou will There are 10,000 people testifying to those officials, with so many people, who will His Majesty trust? In other words, who can His Majesty trust?"
Su Wen tried his best to think about the flaws in it: "In the martial arts sect, there are always clues! And the cause of the death of Lu Qingcai, the magistrate of Yong County, may also be a clue!"
"Clues? Most of the martial arts sects that participated in the rebellion in Lizhou have been wiped out, but if you find them, they will testify for you? Where do you go to find clues? The Hong Sanqian you captured alive, They didn’t bring them back either. Among the officials, Lu Qingcai was already dead, and just after you left, his son tried to steal the corpse and set it on fire, but was discovered, and he lit the fire himself, and burned all the corpses of their father and son.”
Su Wen suddenly realized that his father seemed to know everything. Moreover, Lizhou has covered up all the clues.
"But what I said is the truth!" Su Wen felt helpless.
Su Changqing said indifferently: "But the court wants to talk about evidence!"
"This matter is over." Su Changqing's words made Su Wen fall into deep disappointment.
"Hehe, this big week really sucks!" Su Wen couldn't help but said.
Su Changqing laughed, shook his head and said: "I always thought that my son is not someone who cares about the world, how can he go out and feel compassionate."
Su Wen smiled wryly: "It's not that I feel compassionate, but I just can't see it."
Su Changqing sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "If you can't see it, make yourself stronger, otherwise you will only be able to watch forever."
"What about you, as Prime Minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, do you want to watch?"
Su Changqing said in a deep voice: "That's right, I can only watch this matter, the evidence is gone, and I can't do anything without evidence."
As he spoke, he looked at Su Wen and asked, "Why do you think Wu Kunhu spared Hong Sanqian's life?"
"Huh?" Su Wen frowned, he really hadn't thought about this question.
After careful consideration, Su Wen shook his head, unable to make up his mind.
"Because Wu Kunhu doesn't know whether the person behind Hong Sanqian wants to kill him or keep him. That tiger is a thief. He doesn't do things that offend others, so he spared Hong Sanqian's life." , but took Wu Lie away, which means that he doesn't want to get involved in this matter."
Su Wen gritted his teeth and said, "Wu Kunhu is the number one person in the ninth rank! Is he so scrupulous when he is a great general?"
Su Changqing shook his head slightly and sighed: "Ninth rank status... No matter how strong it is, it's just status. If you don't enter the heavenly position, you will be a floating cloud. Even a master of the heavenly position has grades, let alone him with a ninth rank?"
"And he's not scrupulous, it's just that it has nothing to do with his interests, and it's not his duty. He won't ask for trouble."
Speaking of this, Su Changqing looked at Su Wen and said with a smile: "But you performed well this time, Your Majesty should be quite happy!"
