" I can't tell you that," Chen Jingge said slowly." But it's because of these seeds that Fengyang County now has fertile paddy fields."”
Liu Bowen nodded and said," I believe that a new sprout will grow soon. At that time, His Majesty will reward you!"”
"I just want to get back to Fengyang County as soon as possible. The people of Fengyang County are waiting for me."”
" Don't worry," Liu Bowen said slowly." We'll have a result in seven days at most. Besides, I'm sure you won't be greedy for personal gain."”
Chen Jingge looked deeply at Liu Bowen. He didn't expect him to trust him so much.
"Lord Liu, why are you so confident in me?”
Liu Bowen glanced at him and said slowly,""That's because you can manage Fengyang County so well. If you want money, you don't need to take bribes!，Why risk being skinned?"
Chen Jingge was so impressed by this man! His words were clear and logical, and he even unknowingly praised himself.
After that, Chen Jingge chatted with Liu Bowen for a while before he left.
As soon as Liu Bowen left, Zhu Yuanzhang sent someone to pay his respects. Chen Jingge didn't say anything and sent him away.
That night, Baiqi said that there were many people watching the place.
Chen Jingge guessed that these people were arranged by Zhu Yuanzhang. On the surface, they were to protect him, but in fact, they were to monitor him.
He could tell from what had happened last night that Chen Jingge's subordinates were not ordinary people. He had to tighten his surveillance.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, five days had passed. Chen Jingge once again went to court.
This time, all the officials were present.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang's face was still covered by the curtain.
This made all the officials look at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was covered by the curtain, in confusion.
Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly,"Today, I invited all of you here to tell you about Fengyang County. This year, Fengyang County's harvest is 2.8 million stones."”
As soon as he said this, the ministers discussed.
"Where did Fengyang County get so much food?”
"This Fengyang County is really not simple! The county magistrate of Fengyang County was indeed a talent!”
Just as they were whispering to each other, they suddenly saw a county magistrate in official robes.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke again.
"However, Fengyang County is only handing over 130,000 dans to the Imperial Court!”
Hu Weiyong immediately stood up and said,""Your Majesty, although Fengyang County has a good harvest, they only handed over 130,000 catties of grain. Your Majesty, please punish the Fengyang County Magistrate for taking bribes and bending the law.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the officials in the court lowered their heads and said,"I request that the Fengyang County Magistrate be brought to justice for his corruption.”
When Chen Jingge heard this, he almost cursed.
I didn't provoke you, but you shouted loudly to punish me! I think you want to take the entire Phoenix Sun City for yourself! It was to fill his own pockets!
"Your Majesty, have you investigated this matter thoroughly?”Liu Bowen stepped forward and asked.
Hu Weiyong, who was next to him, said sarcastically,"Lord Liu, you want to protect a treacherous official? His Majesty the Emperor had also said that he had only handed over 130,000 dan.”
"We still need to investigate this matter thoroughly before we can make a decision," said Liu Bowen indifferently. Moreover, His Majesty did not say that he was corrupt.”
Hu Weiyong said angrily," Lord Liu, I don't believe that you can't tell what's going on here. Are you really colluding with the Magistrate of Fengyang?"“
When Chen Jingge heard that, he felt uncomfortable.
Chen Jingge never thought that this official would frame him and Liu Bowen. This made him curious.
He walked to the front on the left.
In an instant, Chen Jingge thought of two words-Prime Minister!
Thinking about it carefully, wasn't this Hu Weiyong?
Chen Jingge silently thought to himself that this man was indeed as strong as he had said!
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice rang out again.
"I've already investigated this matter. Fengyang County's magistrate, Chen Jingge, has already stored all the grain that was confiscated into the warehouse. The quantity is also meticulous and there are no signs of corruption.”
This time, all the officials were confused.
If you aren't greedy, why don't you hand it over? Instead, he wanted to leave the food behind?
If no one investigated, they might be charged with corruption and skinned alive!
"Chen Jingge, why did you do this?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.”
Chen Jingge had no choice but to step forward and say,""I'm doing this for the sake of the world. If I hand it all over, I'm afraid someone will find out about it!”
All of a sudden, the officials in the court attacked him!
"What are you talking about?" Hu Weiyong asked. Do you mean that if you hand it over, someone will frame you?”
Chen Jingge knew that the other party was here for Fengyang County, so he didn't care about the other party's gaze. He said bluntly,"Firstly, I'm worried that some people will take their money for themselves. Secondly, I'm worried that some people will use this opportunity to suppress the grain prices and make it difficult for the people.”
