Chapter 683

And these officials had more or less participated in the corruption of tax silver.

"Hey, have you heard?"

"I heard that among those corrupt officials, quite a few are Confucians."

A rough man drinking small wine sat by the wine table and said to his companion.

These people, in their lives, couldn't stand those scholars.

Usually, they were arrogant and looked down on them.

Now it seems that they have angered His Majesty, and finally, they can kill their prestige.

"Brother, did you hear it wrong? Confucian school?"

The companion on the side asked in disbelief.

These brothers seemed to be specially drinking in the tavern, and there were two plates of side dishes on the table.

Taking a bite of the side dish, the look on his face couldn't be hidden at all.

Excitement and pride hung on the face of the person before.

15 "Why, brother can lie to you?"

"You don't know."

"I heard that their Confucian school is good at using that set of statements to fool people."

"This time, several of the corrupt officials killed were students who joined the Confucian school."

A look of pride appeared on that person's face.

"Where did the villain come from, talking nonsense here."

A person dressed as a scholar seemed to pass by the tavern, heard this person's words, walked in directly, and scolded him.

This table of people were ordinary people struggling at the bottom of life.

Scholars naturally had a higher status than them, and when these people saw the scholar coming in, awkward looks appeared on their faces.

But the disdain and arrogance in the scholar's eyes seemed to sting one of them's eyes.

"Did I say it wrong?"

"I heard that among the people killed recently, quite a few are disciples of your Confucian school."

"My Dawei Escort Agency has traveled north and south for so many years, what haven't I heard."

That person stood up directly, his barbaric temperament released, making the scholar step back involuntarily.

"Stop talking nonsense."

"The Confucian school does things with its own plans."

A flush of color slowly appeared on the scholar's face, seeming to be angered by the big man's tone.

"Bah!"

"I haven't read so many books, but I also know what should be taken and what shouldn't."

"That silver was specially sent for the people to use."

The big man directly spat disdainfully.

The noise here seemed to attract the attention of some people around, and some people gathered around one after another.

"It's just groundless news."

"His Majesty hasn't spoken yet, how do you know the truth of this news?"

A flash of firm light flashed in the scholar's eyes.

As long as this matter has not been certified by His Majesty, everything is false news.

"This person must be stupid, the news has already spread throughout Xianyang City."

The people at the wine table looked at each other, and immediately mocking looks appeared on their faces.

And the scholar obviously saw the looks on everyone's faces, and his whole face was immediately flushed red.

"Wild people, I won't see you."

After speaking, he flicked his robe and turned and walked out of the tavern.

But as soon as he left, the rumor that Confucian disciples were unreasonable immediately spread.

By the time this matter reached Fu Nian's ears, the entire Xianyang City had already spread.

When Fu Nian learned of this news, his face changed drastically immediately.

A flash of disbelief flashed in his eyes.

He had never let anyone touch this disaster relief silver.

Ever since His Majesty raised this silver, he had realized that this silver was the top priority.

When the silver was sent over, he even told those people not to touch this matter.

How could it be that most of the corrupt officials were from their Confucian school.

"Someone, call Zhang Liang over for me."

Fu Nian immediately raised his head and said to the servant beside him.

Because Zhang Liang was unwell, he had been recuperating in the room during this period.

When the servant walked into the room, Zhang Liang was practicing calligraphy.

"Young Master, Master invites you."

Zhang Liang stopped the pen in his hand, the ink pointed on the paper, and a good masterpiece was ruined.

But he didn't even look at the words he wrote, but put down the pen, turned around and walked out.

"Senior Brother, did something major happen?"

Usually, for some small things, Fu Nian would come over personally.

This time Fu Nian was so hurried, letting people call him over, obviously something major happened.

"Do you know that in the Northwest, many of our disciples have been implicated."

A solemn look appeared on Fu Nian's face.

"What's going on?"

A flash of disbelief also flashed on Zhang Liang's face.

He clearly remembered that the Senior Brother had already reminded those people not to touch this silver.

Why would such a thing happen?

"This is the key to why I called you here."

"For these people, I am not sure about others, but I can be sure about Wang Chongming."

"He would never touch this silver."

"But now Wang Chongming's name also appeared on the list, this matter is obviously unusual."

Fu Nian frowned and said.

A serious look also appeared on Zhang Liang's face.

"Watching Zhang Han will not easily let go of those corrupt officials."

"I remember Wang Chongming was assigned to Longxi Commandery, did other 910 officials appear on it?"

Zhang Liang frowned and asked.

"Did not appear."

As early as when he heard the rumors, Fu Nian immediately had people find out this list.

Getting the answer, Zhang Liang fell into silence.

The whole thing looked extremely weird.

"Senior Brother, I am prepared to go to the Northwest personally to find out the truth."

"This matter can be big or small, it has already implicated the reputation of our entire Confucian school."

"If this matter is decided like this, I'm afraid more things will happen later."

Zhang Liang frowned and said.

He had felt a feeling of a storm coming before.

But that was just a shallow feeling, now his feeling deepened suddenly.

It was like a large net appearing above his head.

He felt that he was wrapped in it by someone.

"Even if you can find out the truth, what can you do?"

"Since Wang Chongming's name has already appeared on the list, Watching Zhang Han will definitely not let him go."
