Chapter 104
Sheng Yixuan fell into a brief moment of thought, his eyes deep and focused. After a while, he slowly said, "That's enough. Zheng Ling, when you go to court tomorrow, you must present these evidences to His Majesty and report the relevant circumstances truthfully."
Zheng Ling was still young, looking no more than twenty years old. He was wearing a black robe, his black hair was neatly tied up with a silver crown, his face was as white as jade, and he looked like a weak scholar.
Hearing what Sheng Yixuan said, Zheng Ling seemed quite anxious, but he still forced himself to remain calm and asked in a steady tone: "Your Highness, we have worked hard for a long time and finally placed me in the Ministry of Revenue. If I report this matter directly to the emperor, my identity will be exposed, and they will never trust me again.
As a result, it will be even more difficult to place our personnel in the Ministry of Households in the future. Your Highness, are you really determined to do this? ”
Sheng Yixuan sat at the top, took a sip of the hot tea on the table, glanced at the remaining tea, and asked: "Is this the best pre-rain Longjing? The tea soup is clear and bright, and the aroma lasts for a long time. Accompanied by a faint floral scent, it lingers at the tip of the nose, with a long-lasting charm. Take a sip gently, it is really fresh and refreshing, with a quick aftertaste, and your mouth is full of saliva."
When Zheng Ling heard the prince change the subject, he felt something was wrong and quickly knelt down and said, "Your Highness is the grandson of the emperor's son. I dare not neglect you for suddenly visiting my humble home. This is Longjing tea picked before the Grain Rain this year. The tea leaves at that time, moistened by the spring rain, are the best."
Sheng Yixuan stood up, walked forward a few steps, helped Zheng Ling who was kneeling on the ground, patted Zheng Ling on the shoulder and said: "I know your loyalty, but Zheng Ling, you know that while we are sitting here drinking the best pre-rain Longjing tea, the disaster victims in the resettlement sites of various temples are not getting enough food.
At the beginning, the grain allocated by the Ministry of Revenue reached the hands of the victims quickly, but the follow-up grain did not arrive on time. Now the victims are having to eat rice soup mixed with soil and stones. If it goes on for a few more days, the victims will have no rice to eat, and the five grains will be
But I was assassinated. If someone hadn’t rescued me in time, I might be a corpse now…”
Zheng Ling's face was filled with anger and confusion: "What exactly do these people want to do? Are they really planning to deceive the Emperor and kill people? The victims are still outside the city. If they do this, aren't they afraid of causing a larger-scale riot again?"
Sheng Yixuan said with a gloomy face: "Yes, this should be their plan. Get rid of me, so that the group is leaderless, and then insert their own people.
They attempted to deceive the emperor, block the flow of information, and then kill people. Prince Lu has worked in the Ministry of Revenue for many years, and this time his father has arranged him to be in the Ministry of Revenue to be in charge of disaster relief matters. If he fails to allocate sufficient money and grain in time, he will be severely punished. Therefore, he chose the most extreme means to solve the problem. ”
Then, Sheng Yixuan said in a heavy tone: "Each resettlement site is closely guarded by the army. The King of Lu is likely to sacrifice most of the victims to save himself. Those women, children, the elderly, the weak and the disabled will be the first victims. After all, they cannot resist and will not cause a riot. Therefore, they will inevitably be executed first."
After hearing this, Zheng Ling's eyes became more and more solemn, and he replied solemnly: "This matter is too serious, so the secret investigation can only be put aside for now. Although it will be difficult in the future, there will always be opportunities.
Your Highness, rest assured. I have a heavy burden on my shoulders. The lives of so many disaster victims depend on me. I will go through fire and water and do everything I can to make this happen.
Your Highness should not be involved in this matter. Just leave everything to me. ”
Sheng Yixuan nodded and said, "Okay, then I will wait for your good news. When you bring money and food to the victims, my condition will be relieved. Okay, this matter has been settled, I will leave first and wait for your good news..."
Afterwards, Zheng Ling personally escorted Sheng Yixuan out. He bent down respectfully, clasped his hands together and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, take care." Sheng Yixuan nodded slightly, then turned and left. Zheng Ling stood at the door until Sheng Yixuan disappeared from his sight, then he slowly closed the door and returned to the bedroom.
After entering the bedroom, Zheng Ling did not rest, but immediately sat down at the desk, lit a candle, and began to write memorials all night. He carefully organized and analyzed the evidence he had collected previously, and listed them together in an orderly manner so that he could better report them to the court. Every piece of evidence was carefully selected and organized by him to ensure that nothing was missed.
At the same time, Sheng Yixuan was walking alone on the road, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. Suddenly, he felt a fishy and sweet taste in his throat, and blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
Sheng Yixuan's personal bodyguard Ye Laoer quickly took out a black silk handkerchief, supported Sheng Yixuan, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Ye Lao Er asked quickly: "Your Highness, are you okay? Doctor Yin said that you are not allowed to use internal energy..."
Sheng Yixuan took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a few pills, paused for a moment and said: "Let's go back to Fu'an Temple and wait for news."
Then, like ghosts, several people merged with the blackness and disappeared into the endless blackness...
…
At the beginning of the morning hour, Ruhe was already beside the bed, massaging Yin Zijin's breasts.
Yin Zijin hummed comfortably, squinting her eyes, feeling the tightness of the bra.
