Dr. Tea brought the newly brewed tea one by one into Zhang Yue and Lu Huiqing's private seats.
Tea is new tea, and so are the utensils.
Lu Huiqing was very knowledgeable about tea ceremony. He studied tea every day and drank tea when gathering with his colleagues. He hated drinking and was not very fond of women.
Zhang Yue and Lu Huiqing drank several cups of tea and had almost figured out Wei Duanzhi's affairs.
According to the content, Zhang Yue is not afraid that Lu Huiqing will lie to him, because as an official at their level, integrity is a very important card.
At that time, 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. At the same time, she would verify whether his words were true.
According to what Lu Huiqing said, the guard Duan deliberately scrapped the 490,000 variegated bows that were in good condition, which was a heinous crime.
But for all warehouse supervisors, this kind of thing is normal.
All the treasury offices in the imperial court were full of fat vacancies, and they were regarded as imprisoned by the powerful sons. However, the manufacture of weapons was used to commit corruption and embezzlement of materials. Generally, they were not investigated, but if they were investigated, it would be difficult for any officials to escape.
But why did Lu Huiqing want to investigate this matter?
Because after he was sentenced to arms supervision and formulated the bow-making procedures, to be honest, he had improved the production process by several levels, and the yield rate was extremely high. However, Wei Duan's greed for money went too far, and the bow made by Lu Huiqing actually turned out to be
They also turn it into inferior goods for profit.
How could Lu Huiqing let him go?
Zhang Yue asked: "How many of these 490,000 bows have been dismantled so far?"
Lu Huiqing said: "More than 300,000 pieces have been demolished, and now there are only more than 100,000 left."
Zhang Yue asked: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Lu Huiqing glanced at Zhang Yue and said, "I am in charge!"
Zhang Yue suddenly realized that Lu Huiqing must have known that Wei Duanzhi had done this, but he had kept it secret before. Now that he was in power, he revealed the matter and took revenge.
Zhang Yue laughed secretly in his heart when he thought of how Lu Huiqing had met Zeng Bu and scolded him halfway after he was appointed as the governor.
Lu Huiqing said: "The weapons supervisor was previously judged by Lu. If something happened, the officials would not ask Lu to deal with it, but would find a trustworthy and neutral person. Du's integrity and character are known to everyone in the court. Now,
Now that you have returned to the DPRK, nothing could be better for you."
Zhang Yue said: "Brother Jifu, Wei Duanzhi is just a person on the stage."
Lu Huiqing said: "Exactly, Lu has full authority to claim this case. All I need to do is provide me with circumstantial evidence. This is the only risk."
"This matter is just a personal complaint by Mr. Lu, and he will never be implicated in it."
Zhang Yue was stunned after hearing this. If Lu Huiqing used the rhetoric of national justice, he would still have a question mark. But when Lu Huiqing said personal grudges... then he meant it sincerely.
Zhang Yueze said: "I just promise Brother Lu."
Lu Huiqing was surprised and said: "Why don't you verify my words?"
Zhang Yue smiled and said, "I have always trusted Brother Jifu."
Lu Huiqing smiled, and Lu Heqing, who was standing beside him, also laughed.
After saying this, Zhang Yue drank the remains of a cup of tea on the table and said "good tea."
Lu Huiqing turned to Lu Heqing and ordered: "Go back and ask Li Ji to deliver several baskets of new tea from my house to Du's house."
Lu Heqing said yes on the side.
Zhang Yue smiled and thanked him and then said to Lu Huiqing: "Brother Jifu, we have been officials for a long time. It is inevitable that there will be bumps and bruises. Sometimes we have to be merciful and merciful. To be honest, I want to ask you to let me go."
Zeng Zixuan."
Lu Huiqing's eyes showed murderous intent after hearing Zeng Bu's name.
Lu Heqing on the side also thought, Zhang Yue actually wants to protect Zeng Bu? How can he agree to this?
He watched how his brother responded.
Lu Huiqing said calmly: "Why are you so familiar with Zeng Zixuan? You actually want to protect him?"
Zhang Yue said: "You also know that after the death of Duke Ouyang, all the members of the family dispersed. Brother Zigu is the one who misses old friendship the most. Brother Jifu, you know I miss old friendship the most. This time Zhang was promoted to Hanlin bachelor's degree, and his younger brother Zi Xuan came to visit him.
Please leave it to me."
"Zixuan is an honest man. Once 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, has a lot of money, 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 had a complete upper hand over Zeng Bu in the battle of the city, and when he was about to kill them all, Zhang Yue actually asked him to let Zeng Bu go after hearing Zhang Yue's words.
He said solemnly: "Du Zhi, you know that Lv is someone who says what he means, so he seems to be a bit straightforward. Fortunately, he keeps his word."
"Since you opened your mouth to protect Zeng Zixuan, then take this as my reward."
"Thank you so much, Brother Lu. It's really a pleasure working with you."
Lu Huiqing said: "To each other."
Zhang Yue immediately left the tea shop.
On the side, Lu Heqing asked Lu Huiqing anxiously: "Brother, why did you agree to Zhang Yue's matter? If Zeng Zixuan stays, there will be endless troubles. What if he turns his back and bites us back?"
Lu Huiqing glanced at Lu Heqing and said, "Then are you going to acquit 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 will abolish it either today or tomorrow. Sooner or later he will be punished."
Lu Huiqing said: "I know, have you read Zheng Xia's lieutenant? Feng Sanyuan is my biggest worry now. Don't offend Zhang Duzhi before Feng Sanyuan is dismissed as prime minister, you know?"
Lu Heqing lowered his head and said, "It's my brother. But I'm really not willing to let Zeng Zixuan go like this. Back then, he had the support of Mr. Wang and he was very proud in front of his brother..."
Lu Huiqing said: "Yes, I don't know what tricks Zhang Duzhi used, but now Wang Xianggong also values him. This man is extremely versatile. Today, even Zeng Zixuan has been recruited to his account. Let's take a look at him and talk about it later."
…
There is no reason for this.
Zhang Yue was furious after reading the materials Li Ji sent him.
Even though half of the 490,000 variegated bows were of poor quality, they were enough to equip an army of 200,000 people, so they were all classified as inferior by this person.
Wang Anshi was infamous, and all the money he collected was wasted by these morons. These people are extremely corrupt. If such corruption is not severely punished, there is no way to calm the summer and control the Liao Dynasty.
Zhang Yue thought of this and glanced at Li Ji. He was a Yin official and was now in charge of the economic management treasury.
In the name of delivering tea, he secretly brought more than a dozen bows into the Zhang Mansion. These were all inferior bows that were to be scrapped by Wei Duan's test. However, after Zhang Yue inspected them, he found that these bows were all intact.
In addition, the evidence collected by Li Ji is conclusive. This person is also an official. It seems that Lu Huiqing is quite knowledgeable.
Zhang Yue asked: "How do you think we should touch Wei Duanzhi?"
Li Ji said: "If we do this rashly, we will definitely scare the snake and allow Wei Duanzhi to prepare after school, burn the account calendar, and forge books to help him get away with it. So I thought I would find some other excuse first to get Wei Duanzhi away."
Take it down. Then we will send our people to take over his affairs and expose his crimes, so that this matter can be solved once and for all."
Zhang Yue said appreciatively: "Your idea is very good, so I will act in your own way."
"Thank you Duanming for your compliment."
Zhang Yue pointed to several baskets of spring tea lying aside and said, "Thank you to Lu Da Shen for the good tea."
