Chapter 456
Walking out of the door of the hall, the officials of the major yamen all bid farewell and dispersed.Only Sun Dan, Yang Yiqing and Zhang Cong were left.

Among the three, Sun Dan and Yang Yiqing are imperial envoys who have the power to deal with Huainan's government affairs on an ad hoc basis, while Zhang Cong is Yang Yiqing's deputy imperial envoy.

These three people can be said to be the core decision-makers of the Huainan Disaster Relief Leading Group.

Sun Dan: "Mr. Ge, I'll go out immediately to get the evidence, why don't you go to the post house to rest first?"

Yang Yiqing kept shaking his head: "This fact is unbelievable, and I still have some doubts. Before the truth is revealed, I can't believe it alone. I ask Jingyuan for your understanding."

Sun Dan knew that there was a reason for Yang Yiqing's words, so he didn't say much, but said quietly: "Old Man Ge's words are very true, dare not obey."

Yang Yiqing: "For the sake of fairness, for the sake of being responsible to the court and the people of the world, and also to be responsible to you, Wang Shu, and Gan Bida, I am staying here waiting for your evidence. Before you get your evidence, you cannot go to see me. Wang and Gan."

"Okay, I'll prepare the room for the adults now." Sun Danwei gave Zhang Cong a wink, Zhang Cong understood and blinked.

After Yang Yiqing was settled, Sun Dan didn't leave in a hurry, anyway, he was drinking tea in the study leisurely.

After a while, Zhang Cong walked in quietly.

"It's Bing's time!" Sun Dan stood up smiling, "Sit down quickly, sit down quickly. Didn't Yang Ge know you came here just now?"

Zhang Cong bowed deeply, and said joyfully, "It's been two years since we left in Tongzhou last time. Don't worry, Mr. Yang Ge didn't know when we came here just now. Besides, I, Zhang Cong, left Beijing that day When I was at home, I was panicked like a bereaved dog, and you were the only one who came to see me off. Although you and I seem to have political disagreements, we are gentlemen's best friends. Even if we meet, it doesn't matter."

The two sat down while talking and laughing.

There was no one around, Zhang Cong whispered: "Jingyuan told me to come here, there is no need to say anything, I know what to do. Isn't it just to make money from Wang Shu and Gan Bida, I can save it."

Sun Dan was overjoyed: "It's good for Bingyong to understand, this matter is easy, you just need to ask who was the person who went to Suining with Ganbida that day, and I will get someone to collect evidence."

Zhang Cong nodded and stood up: "Okay, don't gossip. If there is no accident, this matter is definitely the work of the two thieves, Wang and Gan. Although Zhang Cong has a bad reputation, he can't see this kind of villain. If it is not punished, what is the law of heaven? There are tens of thousands of innocent souls in Suining, but they are all watching with open eyes."

Sun Dan sighed: "Brother Zhang is wronged. On the surface, you are still Huang Jin's person, and you have a bad reputation. Once this matter is over, Bingyong will be completely torn with Huang Jin."

Zhang Cong smiled: "Zhang Cong bears Huang Jin's name as a man, which is already a self-defilement. If he can completely disassociate himself from him, he can do things in an upright manner. In the past two years, I have also figured it out when I was in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs in Nanjing. , I used to look forward and backward when doing things, which made things complicated. In fact, why do I have to think so much? I just do what I want, but I don’t want to be ashamed of my heart.”

"It's good to understand." Sun Dan gave a deep bow, "Please Bingyong."

In the hall, Feng Zhen was still staring at Wang Shu and Gan Bida, refusing to relax for a moment.

Because he was guarding them, the two of them couldn't talk, but their hearts were like ants on a hot pot.

After all, Gan Bida is a person who has experienced wind and rain, and he can still hold his breath, sitting on the chair calmly, not avoiding Feng Zhen's gaze, just looking at Feng Zhen.But Wang Shu couldn't sit still, he just walked around in the hall, still muttering something.

Gan Bida's eyes were dazzled by Wang Shu, and finally he couldn't bear to drink: "Master Wang, you should be quiet. You and I are innocent, so what are you afraid of?"

Wang Shu was annoyed, and secretly said: "You Gan Bida is so bold that you can even blow up the embankment. If this matter is found out, I, Wang Shu, will lose my head with you. There is a problem with the Suining river embankment, but then It’s not me, Wang Shu, who hacked the money alone. Ninety percent of it was taken by your Eunuch Gan to honor your superiors. If you really want to investigate, you will definitely find it on Eunuch Huang’s head in the end, and it’s none of my business. But you Gan Bida Wanting to please Huang Jin, he did this kind of ruthless action, and he didn't have to drag me into the water. Now that I'm locked up here, don't I just wait for my death? No, I have to get out from here today!"

Thinking of this, Wang Shu strode towards Feng Zhen.

Feng Zhen was a little surprised, and shouted: "Master Wang, Mr. Yang Ge has ordered that you and Eunuch Gan are not allowed to go anywhere."

"It's a joke, my lord is the governor of Nanhe Hecao. There is so much water outside and so many victims are waiting for relief. How could I stay here to play around with you. If something happened outside, who is responsible?" He shouted loudly: "Let open!"

Feng Zhen sneered: "What if I don't let it go?"

Wang Shu yelled: "Whatever your status is, a small soldier dares to stand in my way. Obstructing disaster relief is a death penalty. Don't think that I dare not deal with you!"

Feng Zhen "Teng!" stood up, untied the armor on his body, and pulled off his clothes, revealing the wounds on his chest, and shouted: "During the chaos of Huanhao, Feng Zhen's corpses and seas of blood came over. Think of yourself as a dead person. If Mr. Wang wants to leave today, he can only get out of my corpse."

Seeing the hideous scars on Feng Zhen's body, Wang Shu felt a chill in his heart and couldn't help taking a step back.

Just as they were in a stalemate, outside the door, Zhang Cong walked in: "How could this be so, ha ha."

Seeing him coming, Wang Shu knew that he was one of his own, and a look of joy flashed across his brows.He thought that Zhang Cong was here to rescue him and Gan Bida, and muttered, "This bandit ruffian is really hateful!"

"Master Wang, you are also angry. Don't be as knowledgeable as this soldier." Zhang Cong smiled and showed the imperial envoy's talisman, and said to Feng Zhen: "As the deputy envoy of the imperial envoy, I have something to ask Wang Shu and Eunuch Gan. General Feng, it's convenient."

Feng Zhen knew the relationship between Zhang Cong and Sun Dan, and knew that he must have come here for a purpose, but he still pretended to be very embarrassed: "This matter... do Mr. Ge and Mr. Sun know about it?"

"Bold!" Zhang Cong pretended to be angry, and shouted: "Feng Zhen, this imperial envoy is questioning you, what are you talking about, why don't you back down quickly."

"Yes yes yes." Feng Zhen pretended to be wronged and exited the hall nonchalantly.

After Feng Zhen went out and Zhang Cong closed the door with his backhand, Wang Shu hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Cong's sleeve: "Master Zhang, I know you belong to Eunuch Huang. Now it's time to be in a hurry. Quickly think of a way!"

Zhang Cong "Puchi!" With a smile, he shook off Wang Shu's hand, stroked his long beard, and said, "It's urgent, what's the rush? Just now Sun Dan said that the Yellow River embankment in Suining was blown up by you." , if that’s the case, then it’s really troublesome.”

Wang Shu shook his head again and again, calling Tian Qu: "Don't we die, how could we do such a thing?"

"Really?" Zhang Cong cast his eyes on Gan Bida: "Eunuch Gan, what about you?"

Gan Bida has been sitting calmly on the chair, and when Zhang Cong asked, he shook his head: "The flood in Suining is due to the fact that the peach blossom flood this year is too great. Things like blowing up embankments, even if we borrowed a hundred of our courage, we would not dare to do it." .”

"Hehe, that's it... just treat it as if I came here for nothing." Zhang Cong turned around, pretending to leave, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Actually, sitting here is not an option. I just heard Sun Dan said, they already have your direct evidence, and they are ready to arrest you. You should find a way to get it out quickly. Sun Jingyuan is very cunning and has a deep hatred with Huang Gonggong, so naturally he will not miss this opportunity I'm afraid that he will randomly arrest two people and record a statement to identify the two. When the time comes, Eunuch Huang will be fine, but I'm afraid that the two of you will be involved. The so-called picking bones in the egg, even if there is no bone in the egg, Once people are really messing around, it will be a mess."

Eunuch Gan was still unmoved, and just looked at Zhang Cong's back somberly.

But Wang Shu couldn't bear it any longer, and tugged at Zhang Cong's sleeve again: "Bingyong, walk slowly."

He turned his head and shouted at Gan Bida: "Eunuch Gan, Mr. Zhang is right. You can't wait to see me. How could you do this? Bingyong is one of your own. You brought so many people with you to Suining that day, and there were so many people. Miscellaneous, it is also possible that someone leaked the news.”

As soon as Wang Shu said this, Zhang Cong's body trembled: Sure enough, they did it.

A burst of anger rose from the bottom of Zhang Cong's heart.

To be honest, Zhang Cong supported the emperor in order to gain his own wealth and wealth by opportunistically.Although he was also very ashamed in his heart, he thought that although this matter had a personal moral disadvantage, it was nothing more than a dispute between the court's political opinions.After all, he was just greedy for power and position, and he still had a bottom line in his heart.

Thinking about what Wang and Gan have done, there is no bottom line.When Zhang Cong thought of the tens of thousands of people who died in the water, he wished to tear these two corpses into thousands of pieces.

Zhang Cong turned around abruptly and stared at the two of them fiercely.

When Gan Bida heard what Wang Shu said, he also stood up abruptly, screaming angrily: "Wang Shu, what are you talking about?" His face was already ferocious.

Zhang Cong finally calmed down, and said: "Who is going to Suining with Eunuch Gan?"

Gambida kept his mouth shut and did not speak.

Wang Shu yelled back: "Ganbida, if you want to wait to die, I will not accompany you. Bingyong is not an outsider, so you can tell the truth. It seems that you and I can't get out today. Waiting like this is not an option. .”

Zhang Cong also said: "Eunuch Gan, I also believe that you did not do that. However, you happened to go to Suining that day, and you encountered the breach of the Yellow River, but you can't explain it clearly. I'm afraid it's up to you." The people who went with their mouths were not strict, and they were beaten by Sun Dan, so it is better to find a way to inform them to avoid it. This officer can notify them on their behalf, and let them leave Huainan as soon as possible."

Wang Shu: "Eunuch Gan, please speak quickly, it's too late." He kept stamping his feet.

Gan Bida's face was uncertain, and he gritted his teeth for a long time and said, "It's Feng Huolong, the elder of the Cao Gang, and his four apprentices. I have some money tickets here. Please pass them on to them, Mr. Zhang, so that they can leave early." After speaking, He took out a large stack of money bills from his pocket and threw them on the table: "If Mr. Zhang sees him, he will say, as long as this limelight is avoided, I will guarantee him to be the leader of the Cao Gang."
