Chapter 125

: Suzhou and Zhejiang Province's Danger

It doesn't matter if Wang Ren plays tricks in the river bank in the river bank. But once it rains like this, causing the water level to surge and causing the river bank to burst, it would be a mistake, and it is naturally not necessary.

At this moment, when Zhao Yunan said that this huge Nanjing Prefecture Warehouse could not send out ten thousand stones of rice, Tan Zong felt that there was nothing to say except that he felt that this man was greedy and had no art.

You should know that such the most basic reserve grains must be retained by government officials in various places. Now that it is gone, it must be the escort that the escort will sell them while the new grain prices are high. And this man's idea is to wait until the rice price falls and then buy it back to make a profit. Jieshikan reported a lot of rice, but because of the high selling price, he made a lot of money invisibly.

Such things are very common in later generations. Generally, Shangguan turns a blind eye when he knows it. As long as he gives him enough filial piety and ensures that there is no problem. If something goes wrong, then these Shangguans will naturally be unpolite and will cut their wounds directly. In the end, the money will eventually go into Shangguan's pocket.

Therefore, Tan Zong really has no favoritism for this guy next to him - he is too greedy! Now that he encounters such a natural disaster, even if Zhao Yunan doesn't pull you out, he is afraid that Wang Ren will pull you out to placate the back. Sooner or later, it will be a word of death!

Na Oshi was already frightened. When Tan Zong came, he moved out the sarcastic poem that sarcasticly "self" and could no longer stand up and fell to the ground with a thud. The tents fell into the ground in an instant, burying half of the man's body.

"Half of my body fell into the ground, tsk, a sign of death!" When Tan Zong saw this, he sentenced this guy to death without any mercy.

Zhao Yunan rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Nonsense, I know he is dead. But I don't want him to die yet, so I want him to get the rice and grain for me first." After that, Zhao Yunan lowered his head and said to Nashi: "Do you hear it clearly? If you can get the food back for me within half a day, I will pardon your death penalty and sentence you to exile only."

"It's better to die." Tan Zong rolled his eyes when he heard this and whispered inwardly. In Tan Zong's eyes, exile was a life-long suffering. It was really worse than a pig or dog, and it was far better to be happy when he died.

Who would have thought that the Abbottress seemed to have received a pardon and knelt down in front of Zhao Yunan and shouted: "The villain thanked the prince for not killing, and the villain thanked the prince for not killing."

Tan Zong saw it, but he couldn't help but be stunned. He felt that this man was indeed very greedy for life and fearful of death. He interpreted the old saying that the old saying was better than to live without a good death.

After the guards took the guard out, Zhao Yunan stood up from his position. As soon as he stretched out his waist without any image, there was a burst of noise all over his body, which made Tan Zong feel silence: I don’t know how long this prince has been sitting, but he just stretched out and there was such a strange phenomenon. It was really exaggerating.

Zhao Yunan was unaware of anything and asked the guards outside the door to prepare breakfast. Then he took out two rolls of paper from his sleeve and handed them to Tan Zong solemnly: "The news came from Zhejiang and Suzhou governments this morning that the two places were overwhelmed by heavy rains in the country and had broken many dams. Especially most of Jiangsu and Zhejiang were surrounded by floods, and the water level of Taihu Lake also rose sharply due to heavy rains in recent days, which seriously threatened the safety of Suzhou City. Now the situation of these two places is only worse than that of Nanjing, and there are already signs of instability among the people."

(Note: In ancient times, Jiangsu and Zhejiang refer to the area of ​​southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang. This initially was taken from Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province in the Yuan Dynasty and was borrowed here.)

"Is the message accurate?" Tan Zong asked casually, but without waiting for Zhao Yunan to answer, he had already unfolded all the two rolls of paper and read them seriously.

"The news was sent by the Supervision Office with several carrier pigeons. The three consecutive portions were exactly the same. It should be impossible to make a mistake." Zhao Yunan sat down at the tea table, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and actually started to drink it himself. But the expression on his face was not relaxed at all, but was very solemn.

Originally, he thought that the heavy rain only seemed to endanger the surrounding area of ​​Nanjing, but he didn't expect that Suzhou and Hangzhou were in general, and even worse than Nanjing. This really caught Zhao Yunan off guard. The reason why he ran to the government office to check the accounts of the warehouse early in the morning was to see if Nanjing Prefecture could transfer grain to alleviate the disaster situation everywhere.

Unfortunately, things went against my wishes. The guards of the warehouse department actually stole the materials in the warehouse and sold them very little, leaving only some old iron ingots - this is something stored many years ago, and it is the remaining materials left for the troops stationed in various places when they exchanged weapons.

As he was talking, the guards there had already brought a large plate of breakfast: although there were only buns, steamed dumplings and soy milk, the portion was very large, and it seemed that even Tan Zong had prepared a copy.

"I'm really hungry when I say it." Zhao Yunan ignored Tan Zong, and really started eating when he said it, and even swallowed it voraciously, as if he hadn't eaten for a day.

In fact, yesterday, Zhao Yunan rushed to the camp that Cheng Gaowen said, so he didn't have time to have dinner. After luckily escaped from the disaster, he cooked a midnight snack in the kitchen and was missing because many people including Cheng Gaowen were missing. Then, he didn't have enough rest early in the morning because of the news from Suzhou and Hangzhou, and he didn't have time to eat breakfast, so he was hungry until now. Therefore, he really didn't eat for a day, so it would be strange if he was not hungry.

Tan Zong had eaten it, but Zhao Yunan was naturally not willing to refuse it after being kind, so he picked up a bun with chopsticks and bit it slowly. But he kept thinking about it. These thoughts were about the disaster in Nanjing and Wang Ren, but more of them were focused on political struggles - this was also a reflection of the evil nature of people in the officialdom.

The situation is still very obvious now. Since all the dams of one prefecture and two prefectures were broken, it can be said that Wang Ren's crime could no longer be escaped. Even if the old master Wang in the capital became the chief minister, it would be difficult to have the skill to turn the world back. In addition, he captured the Han family's servants and the ship boss and his crew in one go, which means that he had the most direct witness - although the whereabouts of Han Li, the manager of the Han family, Cheng Guweng and a group of employees of the Ministry of Works, were unknown, but this evidence was undoubtedly enough.

As long as the Han family lets go, the Han family will definitely be ruined. Then the terrifying Domiro domino effect will inevitably appear in the entire Nanjing city. The Wang family, Chen family, Jiao family, and Hua family, the powerful Jieshi family in Nanjing city cannot escape. As for the final outcome, it naturally depends on the idea of ​​the prince Zhao Yunan.

However, as the so-called case of many nests in the officialdom, and the disaster of Wang Ren in Nanjing was like this, how could the two states be clean? Especially now it can be clearly proved that the river embankment case involved Suzhou and Hangzhou. Therefore, once Wang Ren collapsed, the prefects in Suzhou and Hangzhou would definitely not be spared. The collapse was almost a foregone conclusion.

The only difference is the order of the attack: should we first attack Suzhou and Hangzhou and then slowly attack Nanjing City, or should we capture the thief and capture the king first, and rely on the evidence in our hands to directly arrest Wang Ren!

This is indeed a problem, and it is a big problem, and the root of all this will fall into the hands of Zhao Yun'an, the chief of the river embankment case. Tan Zong naturally only has one suggestion in this matter. At most, he is a participant, and most of them are executors. To put it bluntly, he is still a senior errand runner.

The room fell into silence for a moment, but immediately there were ignorant people who came in. This person was Wang Ren, the governor of Nanjing Prefecture who was just thinking about how to defeat him.

"Prince, I'm late, I hope the prince will atone for his sins." Wang Ren looked frightened when he spoke, and his face was extremely ugly. I don't know if it was because he learned some news. But his eyes were red, his face was tired, and his hair was withered, but he couldn't deceive anyone. Obviously, the Nanjing prefect didn't sleep well yesterday, and he didn't even sleep all night.

Zhao Yunan glanced at Wang Ren with a slight smile on his face, but his biting half a bun made Tan Zong laugh. If he hadn't known the identity of this master, he wouldn't have believed that a prince, the most favored prince, would have been so virtuous. In addition to being handsome and luxurious in his clothes, how different can Zhao Yunan be from those people in the market at this time!

Zhao Yunan looked ignorant, obviously deliberately trying to hang Yidian, the prefect who had been sentenced to death by Tan Zong. Naturally, Tan Zong would not go to join in without any worries, so he also bit the bun bite in one bite.

Wang Ren was so angry that he wanted to leave immediately. However, Zhao Yunan came to the government office early in the morning to check the account of the warehouse and report the company. No matter how busy he was, he would not have to come and inform him, otherwise he would not give Zhao Yunan face. If this matter was spread, even if Wang Ren escaped from this disaster, he would not have any good ending in the future. Even if Master Wang knew about it, he would not dare to use him again, and at most he would stay in Nanjing until death.

But Wang Ren was indeed anxious at this moment, because early this morning, two bad news came from the villa that almost made him feel ashamed.
