Chapter 569 Complaint

Si Chen was brought in by the guards through the back door of Zhen Guogong's mansion.

He has been to Zhen Guogong's mansion twice, so he has an impression of Zhen Guogong's mansion.

The guards took him to a courtyard and asked him to wait in the courtyard. After waiting for about half an hour, a servant came over and said that the master wanted to see him.

Si Chen stood up after him, unconsciously becoming nervous.

The attendant took him to a small yard in the front yard, "Master is in the house, son, go in."

The attendant pushed open the door and beckoned him to enter the house.

Si Chen walked in without thinking too much.

As soon as he walked in, there was no one in the room. Just as Si Chen was curious, there was a sudden slight movement behind an eight-fold screen in the room.

Bewildered, Si Chen heard a slightly deep voice from behind the screen, "Why do you want to see me?"

The voice was very deep and hoarse, causing a trace of doubt to flash in Si Chen's eyes, "Did the Duke suffer from the cold?"

"Ahem."

There was a slight coughing sound from behind the screen, which seemed to be a response to Si Chen's question.

Si Chen's eyes were full of concern, "It's already a cold winter, the Duke should pay attention to his health."

"kindness."

Si Chen's fists clenched slightly in his sleeves, and after a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and said, "The officer boldly intercepted the Duke today because he wanted to report Ma Zhi, the magistrate of Qingyang County, Kuncheng, to the Duke. "

"What are you going to report him for?"

"The lower officials discovered that after he discovered a gold mine in Qingyang County, he did not report it to the court without telling the truth. He mined the gold mine privately, and murdered all the insiders."

Si Chen finished speaking, and the room fell into an eerie silence, so quiet that Si Chen could only hear her own heartbeat beating wildly.

I don't know how long it took before the person behind the screen said in a deep voice, "How did you find out about this?"

"Grandpa returning home, the next official is Sichen, the county magistrate of Yangjiao County, which is adjacent to Kuncheng and Qingyang County. After the earthquake, the next official immediately launched a disaster relief operation for the people, but because the location is relatively far away, Yangjiao County The impact was relatively small, and soon, the people in Yangjiao County were properly resettled."

Si Chen paused for a while before continuing: "After properly arranging the affairs in Yangjiao County, the subordinate officer took people to Qingyang County to help, but overheard Ma Zhi and his cronies At that time, the subordinate officials paid attention to the conversation, secretly followed them to the location of the gold mine, and found that they were really mining the gold mine privately."

"After the earthquake in Kuncheng, the emperor immediately sent people to Kuncheng to carry out disaster relief operations. Why didn't you explain the situation to the officials sent by the emperor? And the city guard of Kuncheng, can you tell him about this?"

Si Chen didn't know what to think of, and his eyes gradually turned scarlet.

"My lord, when I found out that something was wrong, I found the city guard of Kuncheng as soon as possible and asked him to take care of this matter. He agreed on the surface, and let the official go back to manage the rest of Yangjiao County. Don't worry about anything, but not long after Xiaguan returned to Yangjiao County, many accidents happened one after another, and Xiaguan's younger sister also disappeared."

One day, Si Chen received a letter. The person who wrote the letter threatened him that he would let him keep the matter of the gold mine in his stomach. The family members died without a place to bury them!

Si Chen was filled with anger and resentment. Apart from telling the city guard of Kuncheng, he never mentioned this matter to anyone. Now that the matter was leaked, he suspected that there was something wrong with the city guard of Kuncheng.

Almost all the people sent by the imperial court to Kuncheng for disaster relief stayed with the city guards. He didn't dare to gamble anymore, not only worried about the safety of his family, but also worried that he would be solved secretly by these people. Nobody knows anymore.

"On the surface, Xiaguan pretended to agree with them and asked them to release his sister, but the other party was very cunning and never handed over Xiaguan's sister. Even Xiaguan's mother almost had an accident on the street. .”

At this point, he also realized that even if he really wanted to let this matter rot in his stomach, those people would never let him go.

So while those people were relaxing their vigilance, he settled his parents at home, and then went to Beijing in disguise, but he was still discovered by the other party, and sent people to chase and kill him all the way. If he was not lucky, he hid in a In the caravan heading to the capital, he had already explained on the way.

He heard Yaotong advance the Queen's matter before, and he also wanted to go and find the Queen, but in the end he still felt that the Queen was the lord of the palace, and this was a matter of the previous dynasty. It's okay not to give up, after all, the queen is not something he can see whenever he wants to.

"It's really great for the next official to meet the Duke of Guo, and I also ask the Duke of Guo to report this matter to the emperor, and we must not let those people covet the things of the country!"

Sichen finished speaking, and the room fell into a long silence again.

Si Chen felt that it was likely that Lord Yasukuni was doubting the authenticity of his words.

He was about to say that he had evidence in his hands when he heard the Duke of the State speak first: "I already know about this matter, and it is difficult for you to go all the way to Beijing to file a complaint. Don't worry, I will never condone those who act recklessly." people."

Hearing what Grandpa Guo said, Si Chen let out a big breath.

"Thank you, Lord Guo, as long as those people can be punished as they should be, it's nothing for a subordinate to do this."

"By the way, who else knows about this besides you?"

Si Chen wanted to know that one of his trusted servants knew about it, but the matter involved too much, and the servant had already resigned, so he didn't want to involve him anymore, so he said that no one knew about it except him .

"Well, it is inconvenient for you to be in the Duke's Mansion. I will send you to another courtyard first. After the matter progresses, I will let you know."

"Thank you, Duke."

The person behind the screen called someone in, and led Si Chen out of the Yasukuni Mansion through the back door.

After Si Chen left, the person sitting behind the screen came out slowly. He was wearing a gray official robe, and his appearance was somewhat similar to that of Lord Yasukuni, but he was definitely not Lord Yasukuni himself.

After a while, a servant came in and whispered: "My lord, the person has already been sent out."

Chu Min's eyes were slightly heavy, "It's solved, clean it up."

"yes."

"Send a message to Kuncheng again, and tell Ma Zhi to be more careful. If people find out again, he doesn't have to do it."

"Small one understands."

The snow in the capital is getting heavier and heavier. When I open the door in the morning, I can see white snow everywhere.

Since Xiao Jin ordered to continue reducing the expenditure in the palace, their meals have changed from four dishes and one soup to three dishes and one soup, but the portion is still sufficient.

Zhou Qing pushed open the door and walked in, "Your Majesty, everything is ready, you can leave at any time."
