The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family Chapter 631

Luanyu is a big shot, a third-grade master.

His great-grandfather was the emperor's tutor in the previous dynasty. The Luan family had lived in Beijing for a long time, and the scholarly reputation was passed down to the family. After the change of dynasties, two generations of the Luan family had never entered the imperial court through the imperial examination. It was not until Luanyu's generation that several brothers entered the officialdom one after another.

Because he was neither a friend nor a clique, and specialized in the emperor's orders, he was deeply trusted by the old emperor.

 Luanyu was a royalist through and through and never took sides.

  In other words, he is His Majesty's confidant.

 Otherwise, he wouldn't have been sent to deal with the private mining issues in Xizhou.

 The three kings gathered in Leshan Mansion to discuss matters, which was an opportunity that Luanyu had been waiting for for a long time.

 He was about to take this opportunity to thoroughly investigate whether the so-called "private mine owner" had any connection with the King of Qi.

The people working under him have dispersed, and before they can follow the clues to find useful evidence, they first get a piece of news that is not sure whether it is true or false.

 There is also a private mine in Xizhou!

This coal mine is located near the junction of Xizhou Prefecture and Leshan Prefecture.

　　It was guarded by private soldiers and excavated by people brought in as slaves.

There was a severe drought in several prefectures in Qishan last year, and many people fleeing the famine fell into it.

Luanyu made a quick decision and went to check it out in person.

Look at the open-pit coal mine!

"...There were two private mines in front of us, and now there is another one. I dare to ask King Qi, is it true that no one in Xizhou Mansion noticed it? I saw with my own eyes that those private soldiers were fully armored and had swords on their waists, openly enslaving the good people of our court. They shouted, beat and scolded, whipped and punished. Sometimes corpses were dragged out and buried in pits. They treated human life as child's play and had no regard for it! It's annoying! It's hateful!"

“It just so happened that the troops of the three kings arrived, so I recruited them temporarily.” Luan Yu snorted coldly, and his sharp eyes fell on the King of Qi and the King of Ying in turn. "All the bandits have been arrested. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed immediately."

"I will interrogate the remaining bandits all night long, and I will definitely find out those who ignore the laws and disciplines of the country!"

He explained in a hurry: "Lord Luan, I really don't know anything about this. As long as there are some clues about this kind of behavior, I will not forgive you!"

"Xizhou shoulders the responsibility of guarding the border. There are often rebellions in Xirong, and Beirong is also restless. It is inevitable to focus on one thing at the expense of the other, and let the bad guys take advantage of the loophole to do such evil things in Xizhou. I am ashamed! I am responsible for the oversight, and I will definitely I will report it to His Majesty and apologize!"

“Master Luan, are the victims rescued from the mine still safe?” King Qi asked worriedly.

"It's very difficult to survive without having enough food, clothing or warmth." Master Luan looked at him coldly: "Most people can't travel far, so they have to stay nearby in Guanzhou, where Gufeng is stationed. .”

When Magistrate Pang heard this, he immediately said with emotion: "The victims are pitiful. They left their hometown and suddenly encountered this disaster. They almost died! Fortunately, Mr. Luan made a decisive decision to save the people from the fire. Otherwise, if he had to wait two more days, I don't know how many more lives would have been wasted!" "

 Officials in Xizhou were caught off guard. No one expected that a private mine in Xizhou would be exposed again at this time.

Wang Zhifu came to his senses quickly and gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty is busy with many things and cannot take care of everything at the same time. This is all our fault..."

"It's you who are stupid and incompetent!" Magistrate Pang seized the opportunity and severely attacked his opponent: "Xizhou's internal affairs are unclear, how can we take care of Leshan at the same time! Let's talk about the private mine. If you dare to recruit private soldiers and do such a bold thing, the person behind it will definitely... It's not simple! Where did the swords and armor come from? If you are not rich enough to be able to reach the gods, you are protected by someone who is an official!"

"You are spitting blood!" Wang Zhifu said angrily: "Xizhou and Guanzhou have been at war with the barbarians all the year round, and the people are also brave. They can go into battle to kill the enemy with a sword. To protect themselves, almost every family hides soldiers. Where do the swords come from? It is no longer possible. After all, as for the armor, the same principle applies. The border troops of the two prefectures fought with the barbarians, resulting in countless casualties. After the war, it was common to lose some soldiers and armor. If you are interested in smuggling mines, you must plan for it early. Selling smuggled coal should make a profit. There are a lot of them, and they may be advantageous with money, but it is absolutely impossible for us and other officials from Xizhou to protect them!"

"We have received the emperor's order and served as an official. How dare we betray the emperor's favor! What is the intention of Pangda people who are eager to accuse us?" Wang Zhifu spoke sharply like a sword: "Just now, Lord Luan said that Gu Feng was stationed at the border. How could it be such a coincidence that the place is so nearby? Gu Feng had not sent people to guard the border area in the past few years, so why did he suddenly send people? This winter is especially cold, and there are only a handful of people coming and going from Guanzhou Prefecture and Leshan Prefecture. Why has this boundary stone been moved? What can be left to defend it?"

"I'm afraid Guanzhou has discovered that coal mine a long time ago!" Wang Zhifu was very resourceful, and he was also very ferocious in throwing dirty water. "Xizhou Prefecture is vast, and the people all live around the city and are rarely scattered. Therefore, it is very difficult to find mines that can be mined. Guanzhou took in a lot of people from the disaster last year. Those who fled the famine did not know the road and took a wrong path. They found the coal mine. It's not impossible, given the large number of people involved in the disaster, no one will notice it even if there are a few, compared to me in Xizhou, you Guanzhou are more like the so-called people behind the scenes!”

“After all, we in Xizhou have not tried to gather the victims!” Mr. Wang added another sentence in reply: “We are both important border towns. Swordsmen and armor can come out of my Xizhou, but how can we know that they can't come out of Guanzhou!”

Yan Yu took a deep breath.

 Those who can be officials or high officials are really awesome!

 She was so focused that she was afraid of missing a wonderful word.

 “Xiaoer!” Suddenly she heard her uncle calling her.

Yan Yu turned his head and his eyes widened.

 Hey guys, so many notes!

Yan Huaiwen quickly explained to whom it should be sent.

Yan Yu turned into a hard-working bee and shuttled flexibly in the hall.

"The matter of today's private mine has not been verified yet, so my lords, please don't say anything more. Since Lord Luan is here, I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter." After reading the note, the King of England said slowly: "It's getting late. Let's discuss the affairs of Leshan Prefecture.”

He didn't wait for the adults on both sides to speak, and turned his head to look at King Qi, "Now it seems that everything in Xizhou is complicated and cannot be sorted out in a day or two. The affairs of the Leshan government are also not idle. King Qi has intentions, I'm afraid Powerless!

At the beginning of Guanzhou, Beirong was pacified, and in spring, although all kinds of businesses are waiting for prosperity, Guanzhou has many capable officials, who are well-organized and have a lot of help in government. I, the king, can leave with peace of mind and work together with the gentlemen of Leshan Prefecture to govern the country. Leshan.

As for the bandits hiding in the mountains, the Guanzhou Army happened to be free, so they entered the mountains wherever they came and wiped them out one by one. "

The King of England spoke earnestly: "You and I are fighting out of good intentions. We cannot bear to see the people of Leshan suffer from bandits. Whether it is the Guanzhou Army or the Xizhou Army, as long as they can destroy the bandits and make the people of Leshan peaceful, it is not the same."

Once the banditry in Leshan is eliminated, there will be no need for you and me. We will go back to where we came from.

 Just tell the truth and tell your selfishness face to face.

 I, the King of England, am almost out of food, so I would like to ask you, King Qi, if you are willing to fight with me!

　　It takes too much effort for an official to speak. He has to correct it again and again, but it can be considered as a correction~
