Chapter Eighteen: Emperor Jianzhang Wrath

Probably not. The Governor's Office and the Yinchuan Camp are two completely different departments. Besides, the relationship between civilian officials and military attachés has always been very bad.

But Li Su would not gamble on a chance.

Li Su looked down from the second floor and didn't see such a familiar figure. He must have left. Li Su felt a little disappointed.

He was still a little annoyed. At a certain moment just now, he actually thought that Si Ning was here to find him.



After Si Ning finished eating, she discounted Luzhu and they left immediately. She didn't want to see Li Su.

If by then he thinks that she came all the way to Yinchuan just for him, then she will be furious to death.

In the next few days, Si Ning was afraid of meeting Li Su again, so he did not leave the house.

Knowing that Si Yunlan was very busy these days regarding the Yellow River matter, Si Ning couldn't disturb him, so he could only hold it in the room and fume, but she couldn't hold it in anymore.

Si Ning had been waiting for a reply from the capital, thinking that he would return to the capital as soon as he received the reply. But what he didn't expect was that before he received a reply from the capital, something big happened in Yinchuan.

Because there was someone waiting at the city gate, Songbai waited for a group of soldiers to enter the city at night, and then surrounded the governor's mansion.

Because Li Su acted quickly, he did not cause any commotion in the city. Si Yunlan only found out about it the next morning.

"What! Li Su captured Liu Yuan?" Si Ning looked at Si Yunlan in shock, "How could he capture Liu Yuan?"

Did he also know about the Yellow River? Si Ning frowned and thought, no, he couldn't know, otherwise what happened in the previous life would not have happened.

"I guess it's related to the illegal salt case."

Liu Yuan didn't know that Li Su had come to Yinchuan, but Si Yunlan knew that he was just investigating the illegal salt case.

"Yes, yes, that should be it." After listening to Si Yunlan's analysis, Si Ning nodded. This reason was the most reasonable.

"I just didn't expect this Yinchuan governor to be so courageous. He is related to both the illegal salt case and the Yellow River corruption case. This kind of person should be killed to serve as a warning to others!" Si Ning said fiercely.

In his previous life, Li Su was promoted after returning from a business trip, which means that in his previous life, he also solved the illegal salt case and captured Liu Yuan.

However, the Yellow River corruption case was not discovered in the previous life. Si Ning's eyes dimmed. Was it not discovered? Or was it someone who pressed the sky with his hand?

"Cousin, is there any news from the capital?"

Their letter has been sent for several days, but there is still no news.

"It takes three days to get from Yinchuan to the capital at a fast pace. Let's wait a little longer."

What Si Ning didn't know was that the court had been turned upside down because of their letter.

After Si Qili received Si Yunlan's letter, he immediately submitted it to Emperor Jianzhang. After reading it, Emperor Jianzhang Long Yan was furious.

Floods in the Yellow River have always been a concern for the imperial court. After Emperor Jianzhang succeeded to the throne, it became even more important. Some people dared to touch the money used to regulate the Yellow River.

After Emperor Jianzhang read it, he summoned all the ministers to the palace.

Emperor Jianzhang sat on the dragon chair and looked at the ministers in the palace with pale faces and said nothing.

Prince Chu Huaiyan stood beside the dragon chair, frowning slightly.

I thought to myself, what happened? Why did my father look so ugly?

The atmosphere was condensed, and the ministers lowered their heads, trembling with fear.

Emperor Jianzhang looked at their quail appearance, snorted coldly, picked up the book on the table and handed it to the prince.

Chu Huaiyan took the folder and opened it. He frowned and his expression changed. How dare they?

Emperor Jingwen didn't say anything. He stood up, took the book and threw it away.

"Jiang Shangshu, Lin Ge Lao." Emperor Jianzhang looked at the two of them coldly.

"I'm here."

"I'm here."

"Take a good look at this booklet."

"Yes, yes." Jiang Ge was already covered in sweat, and he stumbled before picking up the folder on the floor.

The other officials around looked at His Majesty and pointed out the two of them. They looked at their noses, their noses and their hearts, and kept silent.

After Jiang Ge read the contents of the brochure, his face suddenly turned pale, frighteningly white. He knelt down with a plop and said, "Your Majesty, I am guilty. Please punish me."

"Oh?" Emperor Jianzhang's eyes were cold, "Punishment? What crime is Aiqing guilty of?"

"My Majesty is not strict. I didn't expect Lin Jingdan to be so courageous. He actually dared to take bribes and bend the law. Please punish him." Jiang Ge tried his best to restrain himself from trembling.

This Lin Jingdan is really harmful to people. If you say you are corrupt, then just be corrupt. Who would have thought that he is so courageous? He is so greedy. Even if he is corrupt, he still lets people catch him. This is not asking for death.

Even if he wants to die, he can't die with him.

"The emperor is not strict?" Emperor Jianzhang's eyes sharpened, "You think it's enough for you to say that the emperor is not strict! Don't tell me this, go tell the people along the Yellow River.

Your Majesty is lax! You can just say so!"

"I am guilty." Jiang Ge hurriedly lowered his head and kowtowed, "But the corruption of the Yellow River was indeed committed by Lin Jingdan alone, and I did not know about it."

Lin Gong was now in his mid-fifties, considered an advanced age. He tremblingly stepped forward and took the fold from Jiang Ge's hand.

After reading it, I looked very ugly, rolled my eyes, and fainted.

"Mr. Lin Ge!"

"Mr. Lin Ge?"

Su Yumao, the eunuch beside Emperor Jianzhang, glanced at Emperor Jianzhang's face and said, "Come here, please carry Mr. Lin Ge down quickly and send him to the imperial doctor."

After Mr. Lin Ge was carried off, Jiang Ge was still kneeling on the ground. He cursed in his heart that Lin Gong, an old man, was the only one who could pretend to be pitiful.

"Yinchuan County Magistrate Si Yunlan published an article to impeach Lin Jingdan for embezzling Yellow River construction funds and repairing the dams with rotten wood and yellow mud. What do you think, ministers?"

Si Yunlan, many of the ministers looked at Si Qili, who didn't know that Si Yunlan was his son.

Someone among the ministers who were not dealing with Si Qili stood up.

"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. I think you should not listen to one side's words. You should send someone to investigate and bring Lin Jingdan back to the capital first." He Yuntan said with his hand.

"Your Majesty, it is precisely because this matter is so important that the words of the Yinchuan County Magistrate can be trusted. Otherwise, how could he, a small magistrate, dare to falsely accuse Shangguan." Fan Shucheng retorted.

"Your Majesty, this matter must be investigated and punished severely, but there must be solid evidence for everything. Otherwise, it will be difficult to convince the public." Liu Bin said with a look of embarrassment.

"Your Majesty, I second the proposal."

The rest of the ministers and workers seconded the proposal.

Emperor Jingwen sat on the dragon chair and watched them coming and going, feeling chilled, "Yinchuan is really a good place.

First there is the illegal salt case, and then there is the corruption case. Since you all want evidence, go and see for yourself."

"Si Qili."

"I'm here." Si Qili came out.

"Let's make arrangements. I'm going to Yinchuan to have a good look. I'll take Jiang Ge and Lin Gong with me."
