Chapter 188 Where Are You Going?
Then, Zhou Zhi told the truth about the cause of the matter.
The other party not only embezzled the food provided by the court for disaster relief, but also had various degrees of corruption and bribery in recent years. The reason why it has not been found out is because someone above helped cover it up.
It can be seen that Zhou Zhi has chosen to fight to the death, and he should not even care about the face of his boss, Li Hongxiong.
Seeing Zhou Zhi slandering him like this, Li Hongxiong couldn't bear it anymore and jumped out to retort: "Zhou Zhi, don't frame me. I have never been to Huzhou, and I have never embezzled a cent of the disaster relief funds this time!"
Zhou Zhi glanced at Li Hongxiong with a look of disdain, then looked at Gu Chen and said: "Your Majesty, there is a ledger in my warehouse, which clearly records the bribery records that I have given to some big officials in Kyoto over the years, whether it is gold, silver or jewelry. , or grain and cloth, all recorded in great detail."
Anyway, he can't survive now. He can pull as many as he can into the water.
Anyone who steps on the horse will have a hard time!
Gu Chen ordered Liu Yun to go to the warehouse to find the account book, then turned to look at Li Hongxiong, "Master Li, I will naturally find out if what he said is right, but before returning to Kyoto, Master Li may need to stay in the county." It’s time to go to the office.”
"Prince Zhuang, Zhou Zhi is clearly framed this time, you can't listen to his side of the story!"
Li Hongxiong still wanted to explain a few words, but Gu Chen no longer wanted to argue with the other party, so he directly sent someone to bring the other party down and take good care of him.
....
After Zhou Zhi and Li Hongxiong were imprisoned, Qingshui County quickly returned to normal. Villages from all over the county could come to the county to receive corresponding grains, and grain prices gradually came down.
"Hey! How are you doing with your affairs? When are we going back?"
In the county government office, Nangong Yue broke into the room where Gu Chen was staying and asked without hesitation.
It had been more than half a month since he came to Huzhou. If he didn't go back, Gu Che would definitely go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask for someone.
Gu Chen raised his head and glanced at the other party, "The handover is almost done. I can leave the day after tomorrow at the latest."
After taking Zhou Zhi and Li Hongxiong into custody, Gu Chen used the opinions of the people to re-elect individuals to maintain order in the Huzhou area. The other party's name is Wang Boling. He was also an official in the county government before. His ability seems to be pretty good for the time being, and he is also very concerned about disaster situations and patients.
Of course, this may have been done to him by the other party, but Gu Chen can't control that much now. When the time comes to return to Kyoto, you can then nominate suitable officials to serve as the magistrate of Qingshui County.
After hearing Gu Chen's reply, a hint of surprise flashed in Nangong Yue's eyes, "Can Tian Tian leave?!"
"Um."
Gu Chen nodded, then slowly stood up from the table and walked towards the door.
"Where are you going?"
Seeing Gu Chen stand up, Nangong Yue asked curiously.
Gu Chen said: "Go out for a walk."
Nangong Yue's eyelashes fluttered, and then she replied: "I'll go too!"
Although Gu Chen does not continue to restrict her freedom now, she is only allowed to move within the county government office. Instead of staying in the house, it is better to go out for a walk to change her mood.
After spending this time together, Nangong Yue felt that she had some knowledge and understanding of Gu Chen.
To put it simply, as long as you don't take the initiative to provoke the other party, or deliberately provoke trouble with him, the other party will probably not care about you. And the other party didn't have to target her because of the different positions between the two families.
Soon, Nangong Yue followed Gu Chen into the city.
After this period of control, Qingshui County is now more lively than before. The officials on duty have taken their responsibilities seriously, taking the initiative to help with disaster relief, distribute food, and maintain order. Refugees are no longer driven outside the city and can go to designated places in the city to beg for porridge. Prices in grain stores and other stores have gradually returned to normal levels.
"This Qingshui County is quite lively."
Looking at the bustling crowd around her, Nangong Yue couldn't help but comment. Then she looked at Gu Chen in front of her, "By the way, do you have anything to do when you come out?"
Gu Chen said calmly: "It's nothing."
In fact, he just came out for a walk and didn't think about anything else. After all, he wouldn't be staying here in a few days.
"oh."
Looking at the other party's stinky face, Nangong Yue was too lazy to ask any more questions and went shopping on his own.
"Brother, brother!"
At this moment, a sweet sound like a bell came from the front. When Gu Chen looked up, he saw Coyotito running towards Gu Chen quickly with his short legs.
Gu Chen touched Xiaozizi's head, then looked at Erya and Zhang Erniu who were following him, and said, "Why are you free to come to the county town today?"
Erya looked at Gu Chen and hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head nervously.
Zhang Erniu, on the other hand, laughed heartily and replied: "Xiaozizi said that she hadn't been to the city for a long time, and then I heard that you were in the county, so she insisted that I bring her over to have a look."
Coyotito quickly took Gu Chen's hand and asked curiously: "Brother, will you still go to the village to play with me?"
Gu Chen smiled at Coyotito and said, "Maybe I won't be able to come. I will be leaving Qingshui County in the next few days."
Coyotito didn't understand what Gu Chen said, and asked doubtfully: "Brother, where are you going! When will you be back?"
Gu Chen comforted him softly: "I don't know yet. If I have time in the future, I will definitely come back to see you."
Zhang Erniu quickly interrupted and said: "Gouzi, my lord must be busy with something important. Don't be like this."
Hearing Zhang Erniu's reminder, Xiaozizi immediately restrained himself, his mouth bulged, and he said with some disappointment: "Okay!"
Seeing Xiao Wuzuzi's sad look, Gu Chen smiled and comforted him: "By the way, didn't I buy you nice new clothes last time? I just have time now. I'll take you to a nearby cloth shop. look."
Coyotito's eyes flickered for a moment, but he quickly concealed it, "Brother, I don't want it anymore. I don't look good in new clothes, but I look good in my current clothes."
Looking at the sensible little girl in front of him, Nangong Yue couldn't help but say, "Don't worry about his money. This guy has a lot of money, so just buy it."
When asked by Nangong Yue, Xiao Xiaozi immediately looked at the veiled young lady next to him, and a lot of doubts arose in his heart.
Who is this big sister?
Looks so beautiful!
Why is she walking with her brother?
At this time, Gu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, brother is not short of money. Come on, I will take you to choose some good-looking clothes."
"I...brother, this is not good! My grandpa..."
"fine."
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Chen interrupted directly, then looked at Erya behind him and said, "Erya, you and Coyotito also come and take a look."
