"No, my lord, why doesn't this sound like a good thing to me?" Zhou You said a little speechlessly.

Hearing what he said, Di Renjie and the others couldn't help laughing even harder, and Ruyan on the side also stared at Zhou You angrily, warning him not to speak so casually and unrulyly with his uncle.

They were laughing and talking, when suddenly the voice from the side caused them to turn their heads and saw a few ragged men begging for food in front of a food stall. The leader of the man was holding a little girl in his arms, saying what Went to Beijing to file a complaint and spent all the money, Zhou You frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang couldn't help looking at each other, but at this moment, amidst the sound of gongs, there were officials from Dali Temple passing by, causing those men to rush over, and the leader handed over the little girl in his arms After giving it to his companion, he stopped the driver and filed a complaint.

However, the official in the sedan chair didn't even get out of the sedan chair. After taking a look at the pleading paper from the accompanying deacon, he threw it out..

"What a big air! What kind of an official should an official be if he doesn't accept complaints from the people and ignore the grievances of the people?" Ruyan couldn't help but frowned and said angrily.

Zhou You shook his head lightly, and told Qing Yu, the maid who was standing beside him, to call the tenants who came from Yangzhou to complain, and ask the owner of the nearby food stall to get some food for them.

Di Renjie also waved to the leader Caohu, motioned him to come and sit down, and then asked him what they were going to sue.

Hearing that Cao Hu Fang Jiu said that he would sue the Yangzhou Water Transport Yamen, let alone Ruyan, even Di Renjie, Li Yuanfang, and Zeng Tai showed surprise and surprise.This is the people suing the government, how much injustice is it?

Fang Jiu and the others are water households on both sides of the Hangou Canal of the Grand Canal. They are responsible for maintaining the river and dredging the canal.

However, according to Fang Jiu, this Yangzhou canal transportation yamen is a place that eats people and does not spit out their bones. Those officials eat and drink with the money issued by the court to protect the canal, and hardly spend it on protecting the canal. The pay of the water households was such that the Han Ditch was in disrepair for a long time, and the river was full of silt and hidden reefs, making it very dangerous to sail.

Especially in the past two years, strange incidents have occurred in Hangou. As long as the Jianghuai salt and iron transfer ships pass through Hangou, the boat capsizes and people die. This has happened more than a dozen times.

After the incident, the imperial court sent people to investigate several times, but they were all bought by local officials. After some investigation, they only said that the Hangou channel was silted up, so they just prevaricated and dealt with it. The thief conspired to seize the official salt, so that many Cao households on both sides of the strait were arrested and tortured, but they couldn't find a ugly Yinmao.

But strange things still happen, as long as the salt ship is transported to Shendu through Hangou, it will capsize.The government had no choice but to let the Cao households go back.Then it was said that there were ghosts under the water in Hangou, and many monks and Taoists were invited to do it, but it was also useless.

At the beginning of the year, the imperial court sent Li Han, a doctor of the Ministry of Water, to investigate.This Li Han is different from the previous officials who only used money to prevaricate things. He really did a special investigation. Maybe he really found something, but he also caused his own death.

It was precisely because Li Han went to the Cao households to investigate the situation, and they told the truth that they offended the Yangzhou Water Transport Yamen, stopped paying the Cao households, and said they let the Cao households fend for themselves.

Those grain households went to the yamen to protect the grain, but they were said to besiege the yamen with the intention of rebelling. They were arrested and killed by the officers and soldiers. sue.

"Damn it! These dog officials are deceiving people too much!" Ruyan couldn't help but angrily said: "Then this Li Han didn't report these things to the court? Could it be that he went to your Caohu's house to inquire, Is it just to deal with errands, do superficial work?"

Before Fang Jiu could speak, Zhou You shook his head and said, "This Li Han is upright, not a person who likes to do superficial work. Moreover, he is already dead. On the surface, he hanged himself."

"Hanging himself?" Di Renjie, Li Yuanfang and the others looked at Zhou You in surprise again. Subconsciously, Di Renjie wanted to ask something more, so he glanced at Fang Jiu at the side, and asked something casually, then took his certificate and looked at it. , he said that he accepted the case, and then asked Zeng Tai to arrange a place for them to live in first.

Zhou You directly ordered Qingyu and another maid to help settle Fang Jiu and the others in the Yuelai old shop diagonally across the street. After the tenants thanked and left, Di Renjie looked at Zhou Youlian seriously and asked: " Zhou You, is the inner guard already investigating this matter?"

"That's right! Your Majesty has already ordered the internal guards to investigate this matter secretly. My subordinates have also found out some things, and found that the water here is very deep! Not only Yangzhou officials, but also Jianghu forces seem to be involved. "Zhou You lowered his voice and continued: "Take Li Han's death as an example, saying that he hanged himself, but the stool used to hang himself was still a foot or two away from his feet! In the room where he lived, there were Huge amounts of paperwork were burned."

Immediately afterwards, Zhou You sneered again: "There is also the so-called 20 taels of silver found at the scene of the crime based on the letter of the counter shop that said he was corrupt. Let me ask, what kind of power is able to give such a large amount of 20 taels of silver to you?" What about him? This undoubtedly shows that Li Han's death is not simple!"

"Oh? It seems that there is really a ghost in Yangzhou!" Di Renjie raised his eyebrows and nodded thoughtfully, "Based on what you said, the shipwreck in Hangou is not accidental, but man-made?"

"This point is almost certain, and my internal guards have roughly determined the whereabouts of the official salt. It's just that it is still to be found out who are the bold and lunatics who planned the capsize of Hangou and secretly robbed the official salt. But there is no doubt that Yangzhou's officialdom is definitely not clean, and there are definitely not a few people who have been dragged into the water," Zhou You nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou You said: "Furthermore, according to the inside guard's informant, it is not only these Yangzhou Cao households who have entered Beijing this time, but also the officials of the Yangzhou Water Transport Yamen, and Lu Jiying, the magistrate of Shanyang County. The goals seem to be different."

"If I'm not mistaken, the yamen servants of the Yangzhou Water Transport Yamen should have come to find Fang Jiu and the others, right? But Lu Jiying, the county magistrate of Shanyang, secretly left Shanyang and rushed to Shendu, could it be..." Di Renjie murmured as he spoke.

"Uncle, could it be what is it?" Ruyan even asked, and then said to Zhou You angrily: "Do you know the purpose of that Lu Jiying coming to God's Capital? What's the matter?"

Zhou You smiled noncommittally: "I do have some guesses, but what exactly Lu Jiying is going to do in the gods will not be confirmed until the internal guards investigate and confirm."

"However, Li Han died in the Shanyang Hotel, and this Lu Jiying was the first to arrive at the scene of the crime. Therefore, I guess the reason why Lu Jiying came to the capital must be related to Li Han's death relationship. Perhaps, he may not know anything inside," Zhou You continued.

Di Renjie couldn't help but nodded and said: "This is for sure! If not, there is no need for him to sneak to the capital of God."

While the two were talking, they saw a group of Qianniu guards galloping towards them amidst the sudden sound of footsteps. The leader, General Gu, saw Di Renjie and Zhou You, immediately got off his horse and ran over, saying, "Old Di Ge, Mr. Zhou , Your Majesty hastened to call, please enter the palace as soon as possible!"
