Chapter 43 The big pit dug for Zhou Zheng

Zhou Zheng glanced around and calmly came to the front of the room at the gate, took out the key, opened it and walked in.

As soon as he put down his things, he found something was wrong. Yesterday, Huang Shunzhou threw him a document. He put it on the table before leaving and locked the door. He also saw it.

Zhou Zheng felt thoughtful, put down his things, sat down on the chair, his face as usual, and his eyes looked outside the door with a deep look.

Not long after, Yao Tongshun quickly stepped in, holding a bunch of documents, just like yesterday, and said with a smile, "Civil Zhou, these are all documents about Huzhou Prefecture. You need to approve them and then send them out."

Zhou Zheng looked at the thick pile, looked up at Yao Tongshun, and said, "You said yesterday that there are only two keys in this room, you can get one handful of me?"

Yao Tongshun's face changed slightly, and he said, "Yes."

Zhou Zheng looked at Yao Tongshun's expression and silently said, "What was the document yesterday?"

Yao Tongshun lowered his head, with a hint of panic and said, "It is the Huzhou Prefecture's annual money and grain review document. Only after the Censorate can the Huzhou Prefecture escort the Huzhou Prefecture and send it to the national treasury, and the national treasury will also be inspected according to the documents."

Zhou Zheng immediately thought that Huang Shunzhou was his previous position, responsible for the supervision and censor of Huzhou Prefecture.

Zhou Zheng took his seal of the Censor and said, "In other words, without my seal, the money and food in Huzhou Prefecture cannot be included in the national treasury. If you miss the time, the court will pursue it..."

Yao Tongshun looked up at Zhou Zheng, then lowered his head and said, "That's it."

"It's just that?" Zhou Zheng's tone changed a little. If Huang Shunzhou just wanted to teach him a lesson, there were many ways to wear small shoes. This seemed too despicable and did not conform to Huang Shunzhou's identity.

Yao Tongshun's expression changed. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Censor Zhou, the villain is not sure about the matter here."

The water is deep.

Zhou Zheng saw that Yao Tongshun was not unclear, but was too clear, so he didn't dare to get involved.

Zhou Zheng looked at the seal in his hand, his eyes flashed slightly, and suddenly said, "What should I do if this document is lost?"

Yao Tongshun was startled and said, "According to the rules, if the official documents are lost or cannot be used, the Ministry of Education will issue a document to Huzhou Prefecture and ask them to report it again. It is just a round trip. It takes too long and it will be missed, and the court will blame it."

Zhou Zheng said 'yes' and said, "Do as the rules, and also, inform the prison guards that the door of my class room was intact, but the documents disappeared and asked them to investigate."

Yao Tongshun's expression changed slightly, his eyes were scared. After a while of difficulty, he still said, "Civil Zhou, you can post a document. If the Si Prison Secretary is alarmed, will the movement be too big?"

If the prison officials come to investigate, then the entire Zhejiang Dao supervisor and the officials are suspected. The scene will be quite ugly. Not to mention Yao Tongshun, the inconspicuous official, Zhou Zheng, the new supervisor, will definitely not be able to gain a foothold in Zhejiang Dao!

Zhou Zheng looked up at him and said, "If something happens to this document, you know the consequences more clearly than me, right?"

Yao Tongshun frowned, his face changed, and for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Civil Zhou, there will be no problem. As long as you pretend you don't know about this, no one will pursue it."

Zhou Zheng looked up at Yao Tongshun, his eyes filled with indifference.

Yao Tongshun was shocked and hurriedly said, "Censor Zhou, you just came, don't do anything randomly. The Censorate is much deeper than you think, don't be impulsive..."

Zhou Zheng looked at him, his tone as before, saying, "It's okay if you don't check it. You only have the key. Now that the documents are lost, I can say you stole it. As for the consequences, you will bear all of it. I can send you to the prison and the prison department now."

Yao Tongshun's face turned pale. Looking at Zhou Zheng's calm expression, for some reason, he felt a chill in his heart.

He is just an errand runner. Once he goes to the Si Prison Office, not only will this position be gone, but he will also have to lose his skin even if he doesn’t die!

Yao Tongshun has been in the Censorate for many years and has seen all kinds of people. He can see too much water depth and shallowly. Looking at Zhou Zheng's expression, he knew clearly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Censor Zhou wants to know what he wants to ask."

Zhou Zheng nodded lightly and said, "What do Huang Shunzhou want to do?"

Yao Tongshun's scalp was numb, and he turned his head to look outside the door, and had no intention of closing the door. He walked closer and his expression was blue and white before whispering: "Civil Huang is your ex. He took the benefits of Huzhou. There is something wrong with that official document... Also, you are the new Censor of the Supervisor. Huzhou Prefecture should have a heart, and it may have been embezzled by Censor Huang."

Zhou Zheng immediately understood, with a hint of mockery in his eyes, and then said, "What do he want to do if he stole that official document?"

Yao Tongshun's life and death are now in Zhou Zheng's hands. He has already said half of his words, so he naturally cannot hide it. He said: "Chief Huang may modify the date and put his seal on him when he is in office."

Zhou Zheng was puzzled and said, "The official document was still in his hands yesterday, why didn't he change it at that time?"

Yao Tongshun looked at Zhou Zheng with an inexplicable look on his face and said, "There is a problem with that official document. If the incident occurs in the future..."

Zhou Zheng suddenly woke up and couldn't help but sneer, saying, "Huzhou Prefecture is no longer under his control. I'm afraid it won't be if it is, it must be something! Once this matter happens, I will definitely be responsible for it! It's a good plan!"

Yao Tongshun dared not say anything, lowered his head, feeling entangled and uncomfortable.

First, his fate is in Zhou Zheng's hands, so he has no choice but to bow his head; second, he said too much today, and he may offend Huang Shunzhou. Huang Shunzhou has been in Zhejiang for many years and has accumulated a lot of power. If he were known, Yao Tongshun's life would definitely not be easy.

Zhou Zheng looked at Yao Tongshun, his thoughts were like lightning.

He didn't expect that the small Zhejiang Road, the ten censors, were so deep, and they were so carefully designed on the first day of work.

Zhou Zheng also understood why Zhou Qingli was so worried about his entry into the government. In this officialdom, he really ate people and didn’t spit bones. He might not know how to die even if he died!

Zhou Zheng's heart was churning for a while, forcing himself to calm down and think about the way to break the deadlock.

Huang Shunzhou obviously dug a big hole for him. He was already in the hole before he knew it, just waiting for the time to explode.

Zhou Zheng thought silently and suddenly said, "You just said that Huang Shunzhou has taken over the benefits of Huzhou?"

Yao Tongshun's face froze and said quickly, "This is just a villain's guess, there is no proof."

"The people from Huzhou are in the capital?" Zhou Zheng stared at Yao Tong.

Yao Tongshun didn't know what Zhou Zheng was going to do, and said, "At this time, there were people from all provinces and prefectures going to Beijing to handle the matter, and so did Huzhou prefecture."

Zhou Zheng smiled, smiling from the bottom of his heart.

Yao Tongshun looked at Zhou Zheng's smile, and felt chilled all over.

Zhou Zheng laughed because he knew how to break the deadlock.

Zhou Zheng quickly restrained his expression and said, "Let's do this. I have just taken office and have never met anyone from Huzhou Prefecture. If you go and tell them, just say that I will review their documents soon and tell them not to worry."

Yao Tongshun was still in horror, his mind was a little stiff, and he said in an unknown way, "But, hasn't the documents been lost?"

Zhou Zheng took out a document casually and said, "Go."

Yao Tongshun was a little dizzy and did not dare to ask more questions. He responded and hurried out and said, "I'll cook a pot for Jingshi Zhou to check."

Zhou Zheng nodded casually and looked at the document in his hand.

Someone in Huzhou Prefecture called for an unjust case and handed the complaint to the Censorate, asking Zhejiang Dao to send the Censorate to Huzhou for verification.

Zhou Zheng put aside. He had already thought of the final solution to this matter - such a "small matter". How could the Censorate send a Censor to inspect it from afar?

Yao Tongshun quickly brought a pot of tea and quickly retreated.

In a short time, he had already seen that the new censor he served was not as easy to fool as he thought!

Zhou Zheng is the new censor, and many eyes are staring at him.

Huang Shunzhou was even more so. His class door was closed tightly. There was an official in front of him. He bent over and whispered, "Sir, they have been in the class for a long time, and I don't know what they said."

Huang Shunzhou sneered and said, "What can a young boy say? It won't take long to know what disaster is like!"

The little official looked uneasy and said, "Sir, what if he really asked the Experience Department to re-issue the article?"

Huang Shunzhou's eyes suddenly turned red and said, "It is a serious crime to delay the entry of money and grain into the warehouse. I will submit a copy of him!"

The little official suddenly felt cold. If this small thing was involved and the emperor's disgust, he might put Zhou Zheng in prison in one sentence!

It’s not that there have been no past, it’s often there!

The minor official dared not ask, bowed without moving.

Huang Shunzhou glanced at him, his face was indifferent, and said, "You go first, I have a document later, you can send it to someone from Huzhou."

When the little official heard this, he said, "Yes."
