This prince is going to heaven

Chapter 594
night.

After Chu Yue fell asleep, Wen Ruyan left Chu's house alone again, and returned to the small courtyard where Su Bai and others lived.

In the room, Su Bai and Wen Ruyan were sitting at the table, Ji Yuan was sitting in the distance with Erlang's legs crossed and fingernails on, Ji Ning also sat on the other side after bringing the new tea, and listened carefully to their conversation.

"You mean you can get that account book?" Su Bai poured a cup of tea, took a sip and asked.

Wen Ruyan nodded.

"How could he let you see such a private account book? You have only been in the Chu family for nearly half a month, so did you make him believe that?" Su Bai still felt a little unbelievable.

Wen Ruyan thought for a while, then replied: "Because he wasn't worried that I would tell the truth at all. If these country gentry and rich men dare to do something like this, they must be sure. If there is no instruction from those above them, they will I wouldn't have the guts to do that."

Su Bai suddenly understood: "That's right, if you don't feed the corrupt officials above, they will naturally not be so bold. Even if you know the inside information, who can you turn to to complain? It must be the one who was beaten by Chu Yuanwai." Idea?"

"should be."

"But you are not an ordinary person after all. Others dare not complain, but you are different. As long as you announce your identity, how dare members of Chu not tell the truth? At that time, you will follow the clues and catch them layer by layer. Come to think of it. It shouldn't be a problem."

Wen Ruyan shook his head, and said, "You are thinking too simply. What I want to do is to wipe out all the corrupt officials in Jingzhou. No one will be left behind!"

"Isn't this evidence enough? They are all grasshoppers on the same rope. If you catch them upwards, none of them will be able to escape!"

Wen Ruyan smiled wryly, and said: "You have been wandering outside all year round, and you don't understand the ways of the officialdom. If it's really that simple, why should I be so worried?"

Su Bai snorted coldly at that time: "You seem to understand what I said."

"Although they are all grasshoppers on the same rope, what if the rope breaks in the middle?"

"Ok?"

"If those high-ranking people make a big promise to those low-ranking people, do you think the people below will insist on killing the ones above? You must know that everyone has their own family, parents, wives and children. If Those people above promised their parents, wives and children a lifetime of wealth, so why should those below drag them to die together?"

Hearing what Wen Ruyan said, Su Bai suddenly understood.

This is really the truth. If the matter really develops to this point, and those people below get the promise they deserve, how can they still confess to the people above?It is estimated that they will bear all the crimes, in exchange for their parents, wives and children to live a lifetime of wealth.

"But if this doesn't work, what else can we do?"

Wen Ruyan thought about it carefully, and then asked Ji Yuan who was at the side: "What about the news that I asked you to go to Jingzhou City to inquire?"

Hearing Wen Ruyan's question, Ji Yuan quickly took out a list from his pocket and handed it to Wen Ruyan.

"Your Highness, these people above have always been rejected by the Jingzhou officialdom. I have also inquired around their homes. These people are indeed good officials. They are upright, so they can't lift their heads when they are suppressed. .”

Wen Ruyan glanced at the list, nodded in satisfaction, and said: "If there is darkness in this world, there will naturally be light. The officials in my Great Zhou Dynasty are not all corrupt and corrupt. In the future, Jingzhou will still have to rely on these people."

"From what you mean, you already have an idea?" Su Bai asked in surprise.

Wen Ruyan didn't answer his words, but continued to ask, "What about Governor Jingzhou?"

As soon as Wen Ruyan asked about this, Ji Yuan immediately became angry, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, don't count on that old guy, he is old now and doesn't care about anything, although His rights were not emptied, but he turned a deaf ear to everything in Jingzhou. This old guy was really afraid that he would end badly if he offended those superiors in the capital during the last period of his tenure, so he It caused the entire Jingzhou officialdom to become a mess."

Hearing what he said in such detail, Wen Ruyan looked at Ji Yuan in surprise and asked, "How do you know so clearly?"

"Liu Qinghe, a young scholar in the Governor's Mansion, resolutely resigned from his position because he couldn't understand his inaction."

"Liu Qinghe?"

"That's right, although this person has abandoned his official position, he is still being pushed out. I ran into him being bullied in the city that day, so I helped him out. He told me these words himself."

Hearing this, Wen Ruyan and Su Bai's expressions changed immediately.

"Can you tell him your identity?"

Wen Ruyan was really worried that this Liu Qinghe was also a barb released by those people in Jingzhou. If Ji Yuan accidentally revealed his details, it would be a disaster.

Ji Yuan pouted helplessly, and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I've been with you for so long, how could I be so stupid?"

"That's good."

"However, please rest assured, Your Highness. I inquired about this Liu Qinghe later. Not only the neighbors around, but also anyone who knows him, who would not say that he has people in his heart and is upright? I think this person should be fine."

Wen Ruyan nodded.

Seeing that he didn't answer his question for a long time, Su Bai said again, "Honestly, have you thought of a solution?"

A smile slowly appeared on the corner of Wen Ruyan's mouth, and he said thoughtfully: "The people of Jingzhou are in such a catastrophe, I think Yanjing will allocate money to relieve the disaster immediately."

"You want to make a fuss out of this?"

"That's right, these people made wishful thinking, forcing the people to starve themselves, and then asked the court for money. If the money is in their hands, can they still spit it out?"

Su Bai was a little puzzled: "But they already know that you have arrived in Jingzhou, and they will still stretch out their hands to covet Mo's money?"

Wen Ruyan just sneered at the time, and said: "People die for money, birds die for food, they have planned for so long, how could they let go at this last moment?"

"But if you don't show up, how can you get the account book of the disaster relief bank?"

"This requires the help of our Governor of Jingzhou!" Wen Ruyan's face was unpredictable.

"But didn't Ji Yuan already say that he is old and doesn't want to make a fuss again before resigning?"

"This, but he can't help it."

"Are you going to force him?"

"Hmph, officials who don't do anything like this are more abominable than those corrupt officials. The emperor trusted him, so he handed over a state to him to govern, but this old guy cherishes his feathers, and forcibly ruined the entire Jingzhou. It has become what it is now, like this, how can I give him a way out!"
