Ding Qilin smiled and shook his head, and said a little helplessly: "I can't help it. Every time I meet someone stupid, I will inevitably be made stupid."
"Secret investigation... imperial edict..." Deng Yulin stiffened up, his eyes widened, and then he swayed, and was about to faint. Zheng Zuoyang winked, and two guards came over to help Deng Yulin. Deng Yulin's face was pale, his eyes were closed tightly, and he looked like he wouldn't wake up for a while.
"Send the person to the wing and keep him under guard. No outsiders are allowed to meet him," Zheng Zuoyang ordered. While looking at the boy who came with Deng Yulin, he gestured, "Take this boy with you too." , quietly, don’t let the news leak out, tell the outside world, Long live the Lord has summoned Master Deng, and will not go back for a while. "
"Yes, I obey." The two guards were so busy carrying Deng Yulin down.
"How are you doing over there?" After the guards left, Ding Qilin and Zheng Zuoyang talked in the pavilion, "How much has been discharged now?"
"Anqing is not a pure land," Zheng Zuoyang shook his head and sighed. He handed the booklet in his hand to Ding Qilin and pointed at it, "Look, the amount of money embezzled in Anqing is small compared to Jiangning. It’s quite a lot, but the number of people involved is not inferior.”
Long before leaving, Lu Zhishan gave the two men a secret investigation of corrupt officials in various places during the Southern Tour. The route of the Southern Tour was also designated based on secret reports from the past few years. Ten days ago in Jiangning, more than thirty people A corrupt official was raided and imprisoned. Ten days later, Ding Qilin and Zheng Zuoyang teamed up to investigate Anqing's officialdom.
"It's true, especially there are more officials below the sixth rank than Jiang Ning," Ding Qilin took a sip of tea and nodded, while flipping through the booklet, he sighed, "If Long Live Master sees this, I'm afraid he will do it again." Long Yan was furious. "
"No, Long live the Lord has been mentally prepared early in the morning, and he personally drew up the southern patrol route." Zheng Zuoyang shook his head, while twitching his lips sarcastically, and said, "Dali's treasury has been empty for many years, and even the heroes of southern Xinjiang have Even the pension money for the surviving family members cannot be paid out, so this idiot has been living happily. "
Ding Qilin refilled the tea for him, patted the back of his hand and said, "Brother Zheng, please don't lose heart. Shouldn't we catch these moths one by one now?"
Zheng Zuoyang took a sip of tea, and when he spoke again, he regained his usual kindness. He looked at Ding Qilin with a smile: "Let's stay up for two more nights to finish all this work. It's time for the Long Live Lord and the Queen to come back. We can almost send these corrupt officials to jail before June.”
"Absolutely," Ding Qilin nodded, looked at the thick black clouds in the sky, and said to Zheng Zuoyang with a smile, "I'm afraid there's a heavy rain here in Anqing, but I don't know if it's sunny and sunny over there in Suzhou."
Zheng Zuoyang smiled and had nothing to say, and drank the Biluochun in the cup in one gulp.
~~~~~~~
May 28, the second year of Tianding
Suzhou.
Tiger Hill.
It was really sunny and sunny in Suzhou at the end of May. It was not too hot and it was very cool and comfortable.
In a deep courtyard, Lu Zhishan and Mu Nanzhi were lying under the loquat tree and taking a nap. Lu Zhishan was sitting on a huge rocking chair, and Mu Nanzhi was lying in his arms, clinging like a cat. At this time They both fell asleep, a thin cashmere blanket wrapping them together.
It has been three days since they came to Suzhou. They came to Suzhou secretly from Jiangning. The emperor's guard of honor went to Anqing in great force. Princess Jing'an and Du Heng naturally followed them to Suzhou, but yesterday they went boating on Taihu Lake. Mu Nanzhi was too lazy to move. Since she moved into this courtyard three days ago, she had not gone out, not even Lu Zhishan. The loquats were ripe at this time, so the two of them sat in the courtyard eating loquats. When I feel sleepy, I take a nap under a tree.
