Hu Kaishan scratched his head.

Indeed, after following Fang Jifan, he found that the world has changed.

In the past, I saw too much being rich and unkind, and seeing too many officials protecting each other and oppressing good people.

But now...everyone is full of enthusiasm. People who see him are all greeting him with care. He used to be called the unruly Hu Kaishan, but now he is called Hu Zhuangshi.

People who saw him used to sneer at this dog-like thing; now, the first sentence is, have you eaten? are you hungry?

Hu Kaishan is not stupid, but he is used to the coldness and warmth of people. At the beginning, those people who forced him to go up the mountain and become a bandit, now they all have a pleasant appearance, which makes him not used to it.

He was taciturn, and he didn't respond to whatever Fang Jifan said.

Fang Jifan put away these posts, invincible... really lonely.

………………

An urgent report was quickly sent to the inner court.

In the Prison of Rituals, Xiao Jing's eyeballs were about to drop as he held this hot secret report.

There is news.

News from Qingzhou Prefecture.

The catastrophe in Qingzhou Prefecture caused hundreds of people to be killed and injured, and countless people were displaced. The prefect of Qingzhou did not want to rescue the disaster, but took this opportunity to secretly evacuate the stored grain in the treasury of Qingzhou Prefecture, claiming that it was destroyed by the heavy rain. After that, These grains are on the market and sold at high prices.

"..." Xiao Jing never imagined that this person was so courageous.

What's even more frightening is that at the same time, the chief envoy of Shandong Province has also been dealt with. It is said that this heavy rain has fed many people.

But the one who made Xiao Jing's face pale was Liu Mao, the eunuch who was in Shandong. Cover up for Wu Jiang.

The whole Qingzhou government teamed up to deceive others, Xiao Jing had seen a lot about the world, so he didn't think it was any surprise, but the problem was that his godson was also bribed.

Naturally... this is not terrible news.

Under the report, it was also mentioned that three years ago, the warship of Beiwawei was patrolling the offshore area, and was attacked by Japanese pirates, killing more than a hundred people, injuring countless people, and sinking two ships. Perhaps, it has something to do with some wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River who colluded with Japanese pirates, but Wu Jiang, the prefect of Qingzhou, unfortunately, came from a certain wealthy family.

In this way, things seem to be on the mend.

It is impossible for a magistrate to have such superpowers. This is because behind him is a big family.

And this family, because of colluding with some overseas thieves, has obtained huge profits. It is almost conceivable how rich the ice and charcoal tribute sent to the capital is. So, why did this prefect Wu get so much money? It is not surprising that many people appreciate it.

These people obviously know more or less that Wu Jiang is not very clean. Although he received money and praised him a lot, no one is so bold as to promote this person. Otherwise, once this Wu Jiang incident happens, Wouldn't I also be implicated by it?

Xiao Jing's eyes were dim, and he read the memorial deeply.

He began to hesitate.

Everything is as Fang Jifan and the prince said.

I guessed it right.

But the question is, should I report the report, the news inside is too terrible, His Majesty will be furious, and when the time comes...

If the concealment continues, then...everything will be safe and sound. After all, except for the factory guard, no one would dare to reveal such things.

Xiao Jing hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth, and must expose it, this is a hidden danger of the country, if the factory guards do not report it, His Majesty will really be kept in the dark forever.

After all, Xiao Jing still couldn't bear it, he couldn't bear His Majesty being fooled like a fool.

It's just...he glanced lightly at the little eunuch standing on the side: "Call someone, go to Shandong first, and look for Liu Mao, the guarding eunuch."

Hearing Liu Mao, this little eunuch who didn't know the inside story smiled. Liu Mao is the son of Eunuch Xiao, and he is extremely filial. He usually collects treasures in Shandong. Those who work in the factory, more or less, have some advantages.

"After finding Liu Mao, tell him a word, and say that we said it ourselves." Murderous intent flashed in Xiao Jing's eyes: "Before leaving the palace, we told him to be careful, the money that should be taken, I want to take it. If I shouldn’t take it, I will never touch it. Some things, we already know, let him... figure it out for himself!"

The little eunuch's smile gradually disappeared, and he looked at Xiao Jing in horror.

Xiao Jing got up and hurried to the Nuan Pavilion.

……………………

Emperor Hongzhi was trembling.

Looking at the memorial with straight eyes, I feel cold all over my body.

Wu Jiang is actually such a person, and from the Ministry of Officials, to the Shandong Chief Envoy, to the guarding eunuch, and even the local commander...these people are all hiding things.

Corrupting ink, deceiving the emperor, harming the people, and even...colluding with Japanese pirates!

Emperor Hongzhi felt cold. He never expected that a mere Wujiang, the magistrate who was praised by everyone, would be such a treacherous person.

Snapped!

Emperor Hongzhi took the case.

Xiao Jing prostrated himself on the ground: "Your servant will die forever."

"What does it have to do with you?"

"After all, the servants are in charge of the East Factory, and they couldn't detect it beforehand. The factory guards should be the eyes of His Majesty.

The eyes are His Majesty's ears, but..."

"It has nothing to do with you!" Emperor Hongzhi said, "Speaking of it, except for one Wu Jiang, no one else is guilty. Do you know what the most terrifying thing is? The most terrifying thing is that when a person does evil, the benefits he obtains , sent a gift, while the others were watching coldly, keeping a distance from him, watching him harm the people, holding the ice and charcoal that everyone was taking, and various New Year's gifts. After all, this treacherous person should die naturally, but what about the others? The others have nothing to do with it, they didn't promote this treacherous person, respecting charcoal and giving gifts are just as they should be They can say that they have also mistrusted such a traitor, you say, you talk about it, I can kill a Wujiang with one order, copy his home, and destroy his family, but what should I do with other people?"

Emperor Hongzhi was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

He trembled all over.

Yes, this is the crux of the problem.

A Wujiang is so easy to deal with. If one order goes down, the family will be wiped out, but what about the onlookers, those 'overlooked' people?

Xiao Jingdao: "Other servants dare not say it, but the guarding eunuch Liu Mao, he is a servant in the palace, he dares to do this, the servant has already ordered him to kill himself."

"As for the others..."

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and smiled wryly: "Yes, another Liu Mao has been disposed of. I'm afraid there is also an internal response. Also, there are all commanders and envoys. Are there no people involved in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the Fujian chief envoy? If we look further, these people, don't they have no relatives and old friends? There are also quite a few people in various ministries in the court who have received Bing Jingtan's respect, and many people have said good things about him."

Emperor Hongzhi put his hands behind his back: "What should I do? Should I deal with it together? Wouldn't it be the case of Emperor Taizu Gao punishing Hu Weiyong? Tens of thousands of people are involved? Can I do it?"

Xiao Jing was silent.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "In recent years, the Japanese pirates have become more and more rampant, and even the Japanese pirates have harassed the southeast coast. The Japanese pirates are always suppressing more and more, and they are becoming more and more blatant, and now I understand that it is not the Japanese pirates that are scary, but the people's hearts."

Xiao Jing's eyes were red: "The person involved in this matter is the guarding eunuch. This Liu Mao was recommended by the servant girl. Please punish him. Your Majesty, throughout the ages, there have been countless such things..."

Emperor Hongzhi sighed and waved his hands: "I...is not as good as the prince! Even the prince can understand things, but I can't understand!"

"His Majesty……"

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were red: "Call the prince and Fang Jifan."

"Do you want to send the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials..."

Xiao Jing wanted to say something.

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand: "First announce the crown prince and Uncle Xinjian!"

It's really not as good as a prince.

Zhu Houzhao knew that there was something strange behind it only after reading the memorial.

I think self-righteously, how diligent I am, but in fact, in this palace, I still lose sight of it after all.

Emperor Hongzhi's heart skipped a beat.

How did the prince see it?

All of a sudden, Emperor Hongzhi understood.

It's because... the crown prince did it himself.

He went to Lingqiu County to provide disaster relief, make water, and even go up the embankment himself.

He has personally experienced this flood incident, so he naturally knows it well.

The ridiculous thing is that people like Wu Jiang don't even know what water control is all about, and they just want to lie to others. Therefore, they even make up their own water control memorials, which are full of loopholes.

However, Emperor Hongzhi actually believed such a memorial full of loopholes.

The reason why I believe it is precisely because, apart from the river under the Jinshui Bridge, the lake in the back garden, and at most, a moat, I know almost nothing about the so-called flooding of the river.

Unity of knowledge and action!

Deep in Emperor Hongzhi's heart, a thought popped up.

Isn't this... the unity of knowledge and action?

Real knowledge comes from practice, without personal experience, without real experience, and the so-called sage's way of teaching alone is just reading yourself as a fool.

Prince, this point... is actually much stronger than his own father.

Emperor Hongzhi sullenly said, "Send it quickly!"

"Slaves, obey the order!"

Xiao Jing didn't dare to hesitate any longer.
