Prime Minister

Chapter 870 Exchange
Inside the tea shop.

Dr. Tea brought the freshly brewed tea one by one into the private seats of Zhang Yue and Lu Huiqing.

Tea is new tea, so is the cup.

Lu Huiqing is very knowledgeable about the tea ceremony. She thinks about tea on a daily basis and also drinks tea when meeting with her colleagues.

After Zhang Yue and Lu Huiqing drank several cups of tea, they had almost figured out what happened to Wei Duanzhi.

Among them, Zhang Yue is not afraid that Lu Huiqing will lie to him, because being an official has reached their level, integrity is a very important card.

Back then, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty took Luoshui as an oath, which represented integrity, but it was destroyed by Sima Yi.

But generally speaking, Lu Huiqing didn't need to lie to herself, and at the same time, she would check whether his words were true.

According to what Lu Huiqing said, Wei Duanzhi deliberately scrapped 49 varicolored bows in good condition, which is really a heinous crime.

But as far as the treasury supervisors are concerned, such things are very common.

All the treasury affairs of the imperial court are fat and vacancies, and they are regarded as imprisoned by the powerful children.Corruption and embezzlement of materials through the manufacture of military weapons are generally not investigated, but as long as they are investigated, it is difficult for officials to get away.

But why did Lu Huiqing want to investigate this matter?

Because after he was sentenced to military weapons supervision and formulated the bow-making procedures, to be honest, he has improved the production process several grades, and the yield rate is extremely high.But this Wei Duanzhi was too greedy for money, and he turned the bow made by Lv Huiqing into an inferior product for profit.

How could Lu Huiqing let him go.

Zhang Yue asked, "How many of these 49 bows have been dismantled?"

Lu Huiqing said: "More than 30 sheets have been dismantled, and now there are only more than [-] left."

Zhang Yue asked, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Lu Huiqing glanced at Zhang Yue and said, "We are in power!"

Zhang Yue suddenly realized that Lu Huiqing must have known about Wei Duanzhi's doing this, but she had been holding back before, and now she revealed the matter in order to be in power, and took revenge fiercely.

Thinking of how Lu Huiqing met Zeng Bu and yelled at him halfway after he was in power, Zhang Yue secretly laughed in his heart.

Lu Huiqing said: "It was Lu who sentenced the Military Weapons Supervision before. If something happened, the officials would definitely not ask Lu to deal with it, but find a trustworthy and neutral person. Duzhi's integrity is well known throughout the court. Now You have returned to the court, and this matter makes you happy."

Zhang Yue said: "Brother Jifu, Wei Duanzhi is just a person on the table."

Lu Huiqing said: "Exactly, Lu has the sole right to advocate this case, as long as he can help me with circumstantial evidence, it's just a risk."

"This matter Lu is just reporting a personal grievance, and will never get involved."

Zhang Yue was taken aback when he heard this. If Lu Huiqing used the rhetoric of national righteousness, he would have to put a question mark, but Lu Huiqing said that he had a personal grievance... then it was sincere.

Zhang Yue said: "I promise Brother Lu."

Lu Huiqing asked in surprise: "Du Zhi, don't you want to verify my words?"

Zhang Yue smiled and said, "I have always trusted Brother Jifu."

Lu Huiqing smiled, and Lu Heqing, who was standing beside her, also smiled.

After Zhang Yue drank a cup of residual tea on the table, he said good tea.

Lu Huiqing turned to Lu Heqing and said, "Tell Li Ji to send all the baskets of new tea from my house to Duzhi's mansion."

Lu Heqing said yes from the side.

Zhang Yue thanked with a smile and said to Lu Huiqing: "Brother Jifu, we have been officials for a long time, and it is inevitable that there will be bumps and bumps. Sometimes we have to forgive others and forgive others. To be honest, I want you to let me go." Zeng Zixuan."

When Lu Huiqing heard Zeng Bu's name, murderous look appeared in his eyes.

At the side Lu Heqing also thought, Zhang Yue actually wanted to protect Zeng Bu?How can this matter be agreed.

He watched how his elder brother answered.

Lu Huiqing said indifferently: "Why do you know Zeng Zixuan very well? You want to protect him?"

Zhang Yue said: "You also know that after the death of Ouyang Gong, all the disciples of the sect were separated. Brother Zigu missed the old love the most. Brother Jifu, you know that I miss the old love the most. This time Zhang was promoted to a Hanlin bachelor, and his younger brother Xuan came to pay a visit. Please trust me."

"Zixuan is an honest man. Since he asks me to do something, I will help him to the end. Don't let the honest man suffer, right? Brother Jifu, the prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach, so how about allowing him this time?"

Is Zeng Bu an honest man?
Lu Huiqing wanted to laugh a little.Can an honest person be an official?
Now he has gained the overall advantage over Zeng Bu in the Shi Yisi case, and when he was about to kill him, he actually asked him to let Zeng Bu go after hearing Zhang Yuezhi's words.

He said with a sullen face: "Duzhi, you know that Lu is a person who has something to say, so he seems a bit straightforward, but fortunately, he keeps his word."

"Since you spoke to protect Zeng Zixuan, then this matter should be regarded as my reward."

"Then thank you, Brother Lu. It's a pleasure working with you."

Lu Huiqing said: "Each to each other."

Zhang Yue left the teahouse immediately.

Lu Heqing said anxiously to Lu Huiqing: "Why did you agree to Zhang Yue's matter? Zeng Zixuan said that if he stays, there will be endless troubles in the future. What if he turns around and bites us back?"

Lu Huiqing glanced at Lu Heqing and said, "Then you go and punish Zhang Duzhi for me? He is not Zeng Zixuan."

Lu Heqing lowered his head when he heard this, and said, "Brother, Zhang Duzhi opposes the Market Change Law, and if he abolishes it either today or tomorrow, he will be punished sooner or later."

Lu Huiqing said: "I know, have you read Zheng Xia's complaint? Feng Sanyuan is my serious worry now. Don't offend Zhang Duzhi before Feng Sanyuan is dismissed, you know?"

Lu Heqing lowered his head and said, "It's brother. It's just that I'm not reconciled to letting Zeng Zixuan go like this. Back then, he was backed by Wang Xianggong, so he was very proud in front of his brother..."

Lu Huiqing said: "That's right, Zhang Duzhi didn't know what kind of tricks he used, and now Wang Xianggong also values ​​him. This person has a lot of opportunities, and today he even recruited Zeng Zixuan to his account. Let's see him later."

……

Outrageous.

Zhang Yue was furious when he saw the materials Li Ji sent.

Even though half of the 49 varicolored bows were of poor quality, they could still equip 20 troops, so they were all classified as inferior by this person.

Wang Anshi was notorious all over his life, and all the money he collected was ruined by these moths.These people are extremely corrupt, and if such huge corruption is not severely punished, what is the talk of Pingxia to control the Liao Dynasty.

Zhang Yue thought of this and took a look at Li Ji. This person is a Yin official, and now he is in charge of the economic management treasury.

In the name of delivering tea, he secretly brought more than a dozen bows into Zhang's mansion. These were inferior bows that were determined to be scrapped by Wei Duanzhi.But Zhang Yue inspected and found that these bows were intact.

In addition, judging from the information collected by Li Ji, the evidence is conclusive.This person is also an official. It seems that Lu Huiqing is quite knowledgeable.

Zhang Yue asked: "How do you think we are going to move Wei Duanzhi?"

Li Jidao: "If you move it rashly, you will definitely startle the snake. Let Wei Duanzhi prepare for his spare time. Burning the account calendar and forging books can help him get rid of the crime, so the lower officials thought that they should find another reason to arrest Wei Duanzhi. Take it down. Afterwards, we will send our people to take over his affairs, and then expose his crimes, so that the matter can be resolved once and for all.”

Zhang Yue appreciatively said: "Your idea is very good, so act according to your way."

"Thank you Duan Ming for your appreciation."

Zhang Yue pointed to a few cages of spring tea beside him and said, "Thank Lu Dashen for the good tea for me too."
