Chapter 391 387: No Tolerance

The eldest lady's expression changed, and she told Princess Fukang her suspicions, saying: "If there is really a conspiracy in this matter, we still need to be careful."

"I have asked people around me to go back to Yancheng to investigate this matter. It is of great importance and cannot be taken lightly. However, according to the information I have received before, it is not for Song Shangshu. It is possible that an accidental fire happened by chance. . However, it’s hard to say whether there were any accidents when transporting tax grains to the capital after the fire."

The eldest lady's heart is racing. The incident at Baozhuang Tower is not over yet, and now something like this happens again. The Song family is really having a bad year this year. She must go to the temple to burn incense some other day.

After sending Princess Fukang away, the eldest lady waited for Song Nanzhen to find him when he returned home. She told him what had happened and finally said: "Third brother, no matter whether the matter is directed at you or not, you must be careful."

Song Nanzhen's anger surged to the top of his head, "How dare you hide such a big thing like the burning of the granary? These dog officials are really bold. Sister-in-law, this is not just a matter of taxing food. The granary affects the people of the place. If the granary is burned down, what will the people do in the coming year? ?”

There is seed grain left in the granary.

The eldest lady didn't understand this very well, but seeing the third brother's expression turned ugly, she said, "What are you going to do about this matter?"

"This matter must not be tolerated!" Song Nanzhen said firmly, "I will report it to the two prime ministers immediately."

"Wait a minute." The eldest lady looked at the third brother and stopped him. "This matter is what Princess Fukang said. You can't drag the princess into the water."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I know what to do." Song Nanzhen didn't dare to stop for a moment, turned around and walked out.

A local granary is related to thousands of local people. How can this group of people bully the superiors and conceal the truth?

The eldest lady didn't know whether this was good or bad. After returning home, she immediately wrote to her husband and asked him to come back overnight.

When Mr. Song received the letter, he was already not far from the capital. He drove all night for two consecutive days and finally arrived in Beijing.

Song Nanyong returned to Beijing and could not take care of his wife and children. He immediately called his younger brother, and the two brothers closed the door to discuss the matter.

"What do the two prime ministers say?" Song Nanyong looked at his younger brother and asked.

"Brother, the left and right prime ministers have different opinions, and the regulations have not been finalized yet." Song Nanzhen was helpless. He was just the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he could not intervene in how the matter was reported.

"The Right Prime Minister has agreed with His Majesty for more than two years, but the Left Prime Minister is doing things differently. It seems that the Left Prime Minister wants to protect Yancheng." Song Nanyong said.

Song Nanzhen sighed when he heard this, "How can we protect those bitches!"

"You can't do things for an official just based on your own selfish desires. It's only because the local officials kept the matter at Yancheng Granary a secret. There must be something inside. Have the two prime ministers sent people to investigate?"

"We have sent people quietly out of the capital to go to Yancheng."

Song Nanyong breathed a long sigh of relief, "In this case, you don't have to worry about it."

"But……"

"Nothing but!" Song Nanyong said firmly, "Third brother, what you can do has been done, and the rest is beyond your control. The Song family is being watched in the capital, so you have to be careful. "

Song Nanzhen was just worried about the local people. He knew that what his elder brother said made sense, so he finally nodded, "I listen to him."

It seemed that he had to see if he could prepare an extra supply of grain so that if it was needed over there in Yancheng, he could get it here. Unfortunately, the Ministry of Revenue also had no surplus food, so he had to think of other ways.

If officials fail to perform their duties, what will happen to the people?

After Song Nanyong gave his instructions to his brother, he didn't stay any longer and went directly back to his wife. He changed his clothes and said to his wife, "Come back to your in-law's house with me."

The eldest lady was stunned, "At this time?"

"My father-in-law and I have important matters to ask. It would be too intrusive for me to go there by myself."

The eldest lady understood, "Then I will prepare some prayers. Master, please sit down and take a rest first. Arrangements will be made soon."

The elder nodded, "Excuse me, madam."

The eldest lady glanced at him and said, "You and I, an old couple, are talking about this."

After saying that, the eldest lady raised the curtain and went out. The eldest gentleman then slowed down and leaned on the soft pillow. He hurriedly walked slowly along the way. He was really old and tired.

When the eldest lady came back after making arrangements, she saw that her husband had fallen asleep. She hesitated and then gently woke him up.

The elder man opened his eyes to calm down and looked sideways at his wife, "Are you ready? Let's go."

The eldest lady immediately followed her husband and said to him: "I have asked someone to go back to her parents' home to report a message first. You don't have to be in a hurry. Let's go there slowly."

The eldest man nodded and got into the carriage with his wife. The carriage started rolling. He looked at the other party and said, "The matters in Yancheng are big or small. The two parties on the right and left have different opinions. Although my father-in-law is in the Ministry of Rites, the six departments are working in the same place. It is inevitable that if you are caught in a whirlpool, you will be involved. I will say hello to my father-in-law first, so that my father-in-law can be prepared."

The two couples talked slowly and soon arrived at Jiang's house.

The eldest wife's eldest brother was waiting outside the door in person. The newly appointed Ning Anbo could not wait patiently. Who would have thought that his sister could still be the uncle's wife at such an old age.

They hadn't seen each other for many years, and the eldest man was very happy to see his uncle. The two of them walked in, chatting and laughing, followed by the eldest wife and sister-in-law.

The eldest man went to pay his respects to his mother-in-law first. Mrs. Jiang was very happy to see her son-in-law and said to him: "Your father-in-law hasn't come back yet, and he has already sent him a letter. It will come soon. Please sit down and rest." Is it hard to go back to Beijing? You should rest at home for a few days before coming back."

The elder respected his father-in-law and mother-in-law very much. When he heard what his mother-in-law said, he opened his mouth and said: "In the past few years, I have been working as an official outside. It is rare for me to show my filial piety in front of my father-in-law and mother-in-law. I feel ashamed to say it. I am lucky to have my father-in-law and mother-in-law's understanding. "

Uncle Jiang listened at the side and said: "My parents know your thoughts, so there is no need to feel guilty. Now that you have returned to Beijing and been knighted, this is a great event. We will have a good drink later."

The whole house was full of joy. Jiang Shangshu came back at this time. As soon as he entered the door, the elder immediately came forward to salute. Jiang Shangshu supported his son-in-law and said with a smile: "It's good to come back. It's good to come back. Nothing." Came here after a few days of rest? Did you come back overnight?"

After saying this, Jiang Shangshu's eyes changed a little, and he raised his eyes to meet his son-in-law's eyes.

Weng and son-in-law didn't say anything else, they talked with Mrs. Jiang for a while, Jiang Shangshu took his son-in-law to the front study, and sent his son to prepare the banquet.

Uncle Jiang knew at a glance that his father must have something to say to his sister-in-law, so he avoided it wisely and went to discuss with his wife about hosting a banquet.

Jiang Lun took his son-in-law into the study, and said directly: "Tell me, what happened?"

The old man raised his eyes to look at his father-in-law, "Father, in the past two days, can you find any difference between the left and right sides and the past?"

The second update is over, what a cutie.
