The Rescue Of The Tragic Villain Is In Progress!

A6 C175 - Dong Linhou is in Danger!!!

Jingzhou is a plain and low land, and it is close to the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. Heavy rains lasted for several months, and among all the prefectures, Jingzhou was the most severely flooded. It can be said that many animals' bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crow for thousands of miles. Neighboring prefectures and counties were unable to provide support, so the imperial court could only allocate 300,000 taels of silver and 10,000 shi of rice grain for disaster relief.

However, the imperial envoy Zhen Yuanzhong, who was responsible for escorting the disaster relief money, died suddenly of a serious illness as soon as he arrived in Jingzhou because he was not accustomed to the climate. Immediately afterwards, the disaster relief money and food that had been escorted disappeared out of thin air.

Later, the imperial court sent people to conduct a thorough investigation, and it was discovered that local officials, motivated by the wealth, poisoned the imperial minister and embezzled the disaster money. At that time, many people were implicated, and Rong Zhengqing was also arrested and imprisoned. Of course, this is just external rhetoric, and no one knows the truth.

Rong Xuan only knew that the government officials almost turned Jingzhou upside down but could not find the batch of silver. In the end, they could only settle the matter with hundreds of heads falling down. But how could disaster relief money from Jingzhou Prefecture appear on a beggar out of thin air?!

Rong Xuan looked down at the pile of blood-stained papers again and found that one of them was a secret letter written by Zhen Yuanzhong to the emperor. He said that after arriving in Jingzhou, he opened the seal to count the silver coins, but found that the box was full of sand and stones. There's something more about it. The handwriting at the back is hurried, as if it was written in a very urgent situation. The bloodstains were dark, probably some time old.

Rong Xuan put it away and looked at another piece of paper, only to see a wanted notice with an image of Rong Zhengqing with a shittty looking beard. He couldn't help but tighten his fingertips:

Who is that beggar?! What does he want to do?!

Rong Zhengqing happened to be passing by the front yard and saw a man standing at the door but not coming in. He went to check suspiciously and saw that it was Rong Xuan. He was immediately overjoyed and slapped him hard on the shoulder: "You bastard, why did you come back late?!"

This sudden voice startled Rong Xuan. He hid the paper behind his back with a conditioned reflex. When he realized it was Rong Zhengqing, he breathed out unnoticeably: "Father, you scared me to death."

Rong Zhengqing noticed his hiding behavior and glanced behind him suspiciously: "What are you hiding secretly?"

Rong Xuan looked around and saw that no one was paying attention. He immediately pulled Rong Zhengqing towards the inner courtyard, his voice solemn: "Let's go into the house and talk."

The Jingzhou disaster relief money case can be said to be a thorn in Rong Zhengqing's heart. It not only caused the death of his former colleagues, but also caused his wife and children to be separated, and he was forced to become a prisoner and a desperado. Suddenly, he was shocked when he heard that a beggar had stuffed a letter left by Zhen Yuanzhong into Rong Xuan's arms for no reason.

He took the letter and read it quickly, and couldn't help but look sad: "Yes, it is indeed Master Zhen's handwritten letter, and it has his personal seal on it. He was originally ordered to escort the disaster relief banknote to Jingzhou, and the certificate signed for verification was him. He wrote it because his right hand was ailing, and his pen marks were crooked and shaky, making it very hard to read."

Rong Xuan frowned: "Then this thing should be regarded as Zhen Yuanzhong's last writing. Why did that beggar give me such an important letter?"

Rong Zhengqing couldn't figure it out. He just felt that the other party seemed to be coming for him, or to be more specific, he was coming for the Jingzhou disaster case: "...could it be that he found out that I was a wanted criminal by the government, so he wanted to frame me and accuse me?"
