The conditions are simple, so please bear with me. I don’t know what your honours have to say about your presence here?”
After a brief exchange of pleasantries and salutations, Zhu Pingan invited Xu Hai and the others into one of the sheds at the East Lake construction site, poured them tea in porcelain bowls, and asked archly.
“Ahem, in recent days, there have been a number of consecutive sangs impeaching Lord Zhu for colluding with grain merchants, jacking up grain prices, and accepting bribes, and we have come to verify this at the behest of His Holiness.”Xu Hai coughed and said to Zhu Pingan.
On the side, the governor of Taiping was sitting on pins and needles, his constipated expression worsening.
What? Impeach me for colluding with grain merchants, inflating grain prices, and accepting bribes?
Zhu Pingan heard, slightly stunned for a moment, without a trace of sweeping the expression of the people in the speech, his heart is already clear.
Well, look at Lord Xu, Tan Zhifu, Zhang Baifu this vice mother-in-law to see son-in-law expression, think they should be already secretly verified, and has proved my innocence, by the way, also by my achievements to shock to ……
Oh, Taiping magistrate this look of constipation, such as sitting on pins and needles expression, think impeachment of their own people, must have this Taiping magistrate, this will be because the impeachment is wrong, and worry about his career ……
What is this Lord Wang, Zhang and Peng, they have a look at me but can not help me expression, about they are instructed to cure me Zhu Pingan collusion grain merchants, the crime of corruption, but did not expect the impeachment error, resulting in a trip to run a blank, not good to go back to deliver it……
As for Zuo Zhen, this goods about not the wind direction is not right, the eyes seem to be admiration? Unexpectedly more a fan brother? This also proves from the side, Xu Hai and their line has checked my innocence, see Jingnan’s achievements.
So ……It’s my turn to pretend, no, it’s my turn to show poise.
Thus, Zhu Pingan pulled the corners of his mouth, smiled bitterly and arched his hand to Xu Hai and the others and confessed: ”Oh, I think it is Pingan’s act of defining high grain prices that breaks the regular practice and makes people misunderstand and not understand, so they will impeach me. I thought that their starting point for impeaching Ping An was also for the sake of my 100,000 people in Jingnan, right? However, those who are clear are clear and those who are turbid are turbid. Just for the sake of Ping An alone, tired of all of you on the police all the way from the capital travelling, Ping An’s fault also. Regardless of how the superior officer verifies, Ping An will unconditionally co-operate.”
After Zhu Pingan’s words, Xu Hai and the others looked at Zhu Pingan with a more appreciative gaze.
What is the style of a gentleman? What is a prime minister’s belly? What is being bright and open?
This is!
To be impeached yourself and not defend yourself, but defend the person who impeached you.
It’s always the gentleman’s heart that counts, but Zhu Pingan can count on the gentleman’s heart to count on the little man’s heart.
Not to mention, Zhu Pingan also stated that he unconditionally supported the verification, and his attitude was so correct!
How can Xu Hai and others not appreciate, Zuo Zhen is even more convinced by Zhu Pingan’s generosity and gentleman’s style.
Of course, Taiping magistrate face constipation expression even more, can not wait to find a mouse hole to drill in …….
Well, the effect was good, Zhu Pingan took the expressions of the crowd into his eyes and secretly gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.
“Ahem, in fact, we have basically verified it clearly, the impeachment was wrong, Lord Zhu is innocent.”
Xu Hai coughed and said softly.
“What? It’s already been checked out? Your superiors are truly thunderous and clear-sighted, Ping An admires them.”
As expected, Zhu Pingan’s heart was clear, but on his face, he duly showed a shocked expression.
Next, Xu Hai and the others further learned about the situation from Zhu Pingan, who ordered the officer to go to the county office to bring the
Next, Xu Hai and the others talked to Zhu Pingan about the investigation situation, further understanding of the situation, Zhu Pingan asked the county government to go to the county office to get the “Donation Agreement” signed by Shopkeeper Yang and others, as well as the “Donation Distribution Form” signed by the people when distributing the donations to be shown to Xu Hai and the others.
These “Donation Agreement” and “Donation Release Form” further confirmed Zhu Pingan’s innocence, and Xu Hai also took a few copies of them as evidence to enrich the materials for closing the case.
Wang Mang and others saw this copy of the “Donation Agreement”, “Donation Release Form”, but also the face black, the heart of the slander, Zhu Pingan this little thief is really treacherous, it turns out that he has long been preventing this day, there are these “Donation Agreement”, “Donation Release Form”, he has long been invincible.
Perhaps, he is still looking forward to being impeached ……
Wang Meng and the others thought hatefully.
I actually impeached such a person ……There was not a trace of blood on the face of the governor of Taiping for a long time.
“Lord Zhu, we came over on this trip, walked most of Jiangnan, elsewhere are all sad and desolate, starving and dying of countless people, only your land grain and rice is sufficient, the people live and work in peace and happiness, a piece of vitality, just like a paradise in the world. How did you come up with this method of raising grain prices?”
Xu Hai and the others asked curiously.
Naturally, Zhu Pingan did not hide anything and explained the same thing he had explained to the county magistrates and the demoness Ruo Nan again.
“Adapting to the local conditions, applying strategies according to the time ……Jingnan is fortunate to have Lord Zhu.”Xu Hai and the others had seen the actual situation in Jingnan with their own eyes, especially with the contrast with the outside world, it was easier and deeper to understand, and they couldn’t help but nod their heads repeatedly.
“Ta-Jen Zhu, you have such a good method, why didn’t you tell me earlier?”Tan Lun said in a half-complimentary, half-chastising manner.
“Prefect, since ancient times, when disasters such as floods and droughts occur, the first priority is to stabilise the price of grain, this is already a well-established practice. The law of raising grain prices breaks the routine management and goes against common sense. I’m only one person, I’m not a man of few words, even if I mention it to you, will you believe me?”
Zhu Pingan smiled bitterly and returned.
Tan Lun nodded at his words, if Zhu Pingan had mentioned it to himself at that time, he would never have believed it, and perhaps would have chastised Zhu Pingan for his absurdity and nonsense, and for not taking the people’s deaths and lives seriously…….
Also, when the flood occurred before, Zhu Pingan once submitted to himself a reminder of the flood occurred in the official documents, but at that time due to their own in the boot camp, and the government officials did not Zhu Pingan’s reminder as a matter of fact, will be on the shelf, in short, that is, Zhu Pingan mentioned, their own side did not respond to ……With such a precedent in place, it was normal for Zhu Pingan to stop advancing, and where was one’s qualification to chastise Zhu Pingan.
“Zhu Taoyuan, I go back to Taizhou, want to follow your definition of Taizhou grain prices, as well as to carry out the matter of food for work. I would like to ask Your Excellency Zhu to give me some advice on the key points and matters that need attention.”
Tan Lun arched his hand and said to Zhu Pingan.
“Your Excellency is overstating the case, even if Your Excellency does not say anything, Ping An will still give his input. I have already drawn up a draft of the relevant proposed instrument and am preparing to submit it to Your Excellency after axing it in the near future, in which the precautions and so on are all set out in the proposal.”
Zhu Pingan busily got up and returned his salute, saying that he took out a folded official document from his bosom and handed it over to Tan Lun with both hands.
The Book of Proposals for Defining Grain Prices and Providing Food through Labour in Taizhou Prefecture
Tan Lun took a look at it, and just by looking at the name of the document, he knew that what Zhu Pingan had said was true, and could not help but be ashamed of what he had thought just then
