Twin Brocade

Chapter 661 An uproar

"Trash! It's all trash!"

Haifeng locked his arm, but it couldn't stop Hong Ziliang from jumping and yelling.

"Since this batch of grain is related to the warehouse, it is not a trivial matter." Quan Moxian said in a deep voice: "Take down all the relevant people and ask Mr. Hong to help investigate the case."

Although Hong Ziliang has no official position, he has always been the son of Si Nong Siqing.Don't treat him the same as others before the evidence of the crime is proven.

"What if I don't cooperate?"

By now, Hong Ziliang had given up struggling, and simply put his head on the line, and started to play a rogue.

"Personal evidence and material evidence are all there." Quan Moxian's voice was not loud, but he could not refute: "Young Master, you have to accompany us to the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment."

"I'm not going!" Hong Ziliang came to his senses suddenly, and asked, "Did you already know about it, and that's why you set up this trap?"

"What do you think?" Quan Moxian smiled faintly.

Looking at his smile, Hong Ziliang yelled: "Ah! It's you, it's you! I said what's going on, why did Duanduan almost catch fire? This is all your fault, right?"

Quan Moxian spread his hands and said nothing.However, his demeanor said everything.

If this trap hadn't been set, how could Hong Ziliang come to the warehouse and be caught by him?If you don't catch it right, even if the batch of grain is found out, and the evidence is found to be related to him, he can deny it in every possible way.

The Hong family is not in the heart of Emperor Qinglong now, but they are veterans after all, and their influence in the court is still there.In order to get rid of the guilt and keep himself, Si Nong Siqing will inevitably mobilize all his forces.

At that time, it is not impossible to even bite Quan Moxian back.

Therefore, Quan Moxian must hit the target with one blow and not give the opponent any chance to come back.

Hong Ziliang didn't realize it until now, it was too late!

"The warehouse almost caught fire?" Quan Moxian brushed off his sleeves, and said, "Eldest Young Master is too careless. If such a large amount of food is burned, can you bear the responsibility?"

Seeing his expression, Hong Ziliang gritted his teeth with hatred.

But his coming here was originally a secret itinerary, and he didn't bring many people.All of this will be wiped out in one go, and there is not even anyone who can bring the letter back to the government.

Hong Ziliang was not stupid either, and at this moment, he felt something was wrong in his heart.

Since Quan Moxian had already grasped the news, he even set up a trap for him to take advantage of, not just for his batch of grain.The fear in his heart has changed from fear of his father knowing about this matter to fear of his father being implicated by him.

It's not how noble his character is, it's just that there is no hair left, and how can the skin be attached?Without the Hong family, Hong Ziliang is nothing.

Seeing the cloudy and uncertain expression on his face, Quan Moxian smiled lightly and said, "Eldest Young Master, please."

He left behind the staff who guarded the warehouse and re-registered the grain here.

This warehouse was not originally a special granary, and the ventilation and moisture-proof measures were poor.The weather has been hot recently, and the grains placed at the bottom have shown signs of mildew, which is very distressing to see.

As Quan Moxian and his party returned to the Yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the case of Hong Ziliang hoarding food spread, causing an uproar in Luoyang.

Food has always been the lifeblood of people, not to mention that the capital has just experienced a situation where food was almost out.Even the grain merchants in the city dare not openly stockpile grain, let alone the son of an important minister who is in charge of the national granary.

On such a topic, a slight disturbance can make the crowd excited.

There was no need for Quan Moxian to do it deliberately, when he stepped into the punishment department, the news was already overwhelming.

"What did you say, Quan Moxian went to the southern suburbs, and seized the food stockpiled by the Hong family?" Gu Shangshu frowned, looking at Jiang Langzhong.

"Yes, my lord." Jiang Langzhong said with a serious face, "I don't know where he got the news from, so I'll catch one." In this way, Quan Moxian's reputation will be completely reversed because of this incident, and he also said indefinite.

What he caught was a country moth, and the seizure of this batch of grain meant that the people's rations had increased.

Perhaps, this batch of grain will not be used for disaster relief, nor will it be released, and perhaps it will eventually be shipped back to the warehouse.But the people in the capital didn't care about so many details. They only knew that Quan Moxian was a good official who helped them find food.

If it is said that the cases that Quan Moxian was in charge of in the past benefited only the few sufferers, the influence was limited.Then this time, as long as the common people heard about this incident, they would feel that they had benefited from Quan Moxian, and they would remember his kindness.

People always follow the crowd. When everyone says that a person is good, they all feel good.

Just like before, they didn't see what was going on between Quan Moxian and Princess Baochang, but since everyone said so, it didn't prevent them from developing rich associations.

A young official who lost his wife, and a princess who had shown affection for him before, left countless spaces for imagination between the two, allowing people to talk about it after dinner.

Coupled with the push behind the family and Guan Jinghuan, Quan Moxian's reputation became worse and worse.

However, this time, the common people received Quan Moxian's favor in a disguised form, who would have the nerve to spread such rumors about him again?
The truth of this can be understood with a little thought.

Gu Shangshu's complexion became darker, and said: "The Hong family committed suicide, but gave him a great contribution for nothing!"

"Then, do you want us?" Jiang Langzhong asked cautiously.

He was not reconciled.

Quan Moxian's qualifications are obviously much lower than his, but he is at the same rank as him without any effort.If this case is completed, can anyone shake his position in the Ministry of Criminal Justice?

With a good official voice and outstanding ability, Jiang Langzhong didn't have the confidence to compete with him.

For now, the only way to do this is to destroy his contribution before this matter has become a reality, or snatch it and turn it into his own.

Gu Shangshu naturally understood the meaning of his words.

Whether it is to grab credit or destroy it, time is running out, and a decision must be made as soon as possible.

Gu Shangshu rubbed his brows and said: "It cannot be destroyed." As one of the third-rank officials in the court, he was very aware of Emperor Qinglong's fear of Si Nong Siqing.

Such a great opportunity happened to replace Si Nong Siqing.If he sabotages it, Emperor Qinglong will only consider him to be on the side of Si Nong Siqing. What good will this do for him?

King Ruyang has been imprisoned, he didn't think highly of him back then, and now he has no intention of taking part in this troubled water.

"Then, the subordinate will lead someone to take over this case?" Jiang Langzhong said, "Just mention Quan Moxian's name in the paperwork you handed over."

This is also a common method in the officialdom. If the boss wants to grab the credit of his subordinates, he only needs to take over the credit lightly, and finally mention the name of the person who deserves the credit in the memorial.

Even if the people above know, they won't be too harsh.After all, after all, the name is still there.
