Chapter 82 Showdown

After these senior officials entered, the door was quickly closed, and various sounds gradually sounded inside. I don’t know if it was a distance or other reasons, but I didn’t hear it very clearly.

Zhou Zheng and other censors stood outside the door, motionless, standing with the guards, very neatly and ruling.

The blue veins on Zhou Zheng's head were still beating, but his heart gradually calmed down. He no longer looked at Li Hengbing, but raised his ears and listened to the sound inside the door.

He couldn't hear exactly what he was saying, but he could feel someone slamming the table and roaring, some ministers were competing with reason, and several voices alternated in turn, which made him feel that he didn't want to give in.

Not long after, the few sounds disappeared, and only one sound was left saying something, vague and unable to hear clearly, and you could still hear it very angry.

Then, the sound became even more angry, as if it was smashing something, bang bang.

Before Zhou Zheng could think carefully, his face suddenly changed slightly. A group of Jinyiwei rushed up and stood at the door, holding an iron staff in his hand.

There was a leader of the internship, staring at the closed door coldly, with an angry look on his face.

But these people did not rush in, and the angry voices in the door seemed to stop. Not long after, another sound sounded. Zhou Zheng couldn't hear what he was saying, but it seemed to be very smooth, without the smell of gunpowder just now.

Zhou Zheng stood at the door with his face as usual and shook his head secretly. Although he didn't know what happened, he was still a little bit disagreeable. It might not stop for ten days and half a month, but he just didn't know if it would be implicated in Zhejiang Road.

Any major event will never be absent. Whether it is really dedicated to the country or seeking a clear reputation, it is just right!

I don’t know how long it took, but the palace gate was opened again. The adults came out in groups of three or five, talking while walking.

Zhou Zheng looked at these people and watched them leave and walk away.

The two people who walked out suddenly stopped and started talking at the door.

One of them said: "It's not that I don't give money, it's that I really don't have money. Do you not know the treasury's wealth?"

Another said: "You said you have no money, but the flood of the Yellow River this summer has been so resentful that the people are still in full swing. Hundreds of thousands of people are displaced. If you don't repair it, what can you do next year?"

"You ask me, who do I ask me? The treasury's money is in Yuanfu's hands. Please ask him to ask..."

"My elder, you will be pitiful and poor. If you approve 200,000, you will be 200,000. I won't want it if you have more. If you have 200,000, I will build the river so that the victims can return to their hometown..."

"...I really have no money. Let's do this. Caoyun has owed 180,000 taels of silver from the Ministry of Revenue. If you want it, I will give it to you, otherwise you will force me to death, and I will have no choice..."

After the man finished speaking, he left with his hand. The other person hurriedly chased after him, still begging him hard.

Zhou Zheng looked at the two people who were chasing me, with their eyes a little stunned.

The Yellow River broke its mouth and caused a big flood. There were countless victims. Such a major matter was completely ruling and doing nothing?

Zhou Zheng wanted to wait for Huang Liji, but Huang Liji never came out and seemed to have followed the emperor.

Not long after, the Qianqing Palace slowly closed. Hu Qingzheng then breathed a sigh of relief and walked over and whispered: "Let's go, let's talk about anything when you have something to do."

Zhou Zheng opened his eyes today, glanced at Li Hengbing who had turned around, and said no, "I was like a Tathagata, and I lined up in front of the Qianqing Palace and dedicated to the Censorate. After the slap, I returned to my class room.

It wasn't time for the get off work, and everyone had to wait. But there was no meal a day, and there was a busy life in front of more than 40 rooms.

Yao Tongshun went in and out, arranged meals for Zhou Zheng, and reported various news.

Zhou Zheng did not lament the collapse of the Ming Dynasty's administration, but was thinking about Li Hengbing's affairs, his eyes as faint as the deep sea, with a hint of splendor.

After a while, Yao Tongshun saw that Zhou Zheng was still eating and thinking about his disobedience. He had already known what happened before the Qing Palace and approached him and whispered: "Sir, this matter should be open to the discussion with Yushi Li, otherwise it would be the result of both sides' defeat."

In Yao Tongshun's view, Zhou Zheng had shown enough ability to settle the Dengwengu case. Even if Li Hengbing's background is deep, he would not be able to live or die just by a word. He should be like a person in the officialdom, and then work together to get promoted and make money.

Zhou Zheng's chopsticks suddenly paused, raised his head suddenly, looked at Yao Tongshun with bright eyes.

Yao Tongshun was startled and then said carefully: "Sir, did the villain say something wrong?"

Zhou Zheng put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and looked very calm, saying, "You are right. At this time, it's time to have a frank talk."

Yao Tongshun looked at Zhou Zheng standing up, and his face was happy and then surprised, and hurriedly said, "Sir, don't be impulsive, harmony is the most important thing."

Zhou Zheng seemed to have not heard it, and left the class room and went straight to Li Hengbing's class room.

Yao Tongshun was very worried, but he didn't dare to follow him. He could only stand at the door and watch Zhou Zheng approach Li Hengbing's class room.

Li Hengbing was having a meal, with no clear soup and no oil at all.

He saw Zhou Zheng walking to the door, saying nothing, and continued to eat as usual.

Zhou Zheng walked straight in without telling anything, came to Li Hengbing's table, glanced at his food, and saw a string of Buddhist beads on the table. His eyes looked at Li Hengbing's face and said, "I have a demon in my heart, and the Buddha can't save him."

Li Hengbing paused his chopsticks, then put them down, wiped his mouth, raised his head to look at Zhou Zheng, and said lightly: "Are you here to show off?"

Zhou Zheng looked at his gloomy expression and said, "If you want to harm me with your ability and means, you can come directly. If you attack it, you will be fatal. Why are you so trampling around like this?"

"I'm testing you." Li Hengbing replied casually, his gloomy expression decreased, he became more majestic and upright.

Just like Zhou Zheng looked like the first time he saw him, Zhou Zheng was a little surprised at him and said, "What are you testing me?"

Li Hengbing stared at Zhou Zheng, as if a tiger ready to go, with a sharp voice as a sword, saying, "Li Shi sent you silver and power. Can you stand your true heart in front of the wealth? You said before that I only donated 300 taels, which is selfish and incompetent to the country... So what about you, how much money do you plan to donate to the court?"

"It's because of this?" Zhou Zheng's eyes flashed. If he just did so many things, wouldn't this be a pervert?

Li Hengbing said: "Yes, you can answer my question."

Zhou Zheng couldn't tell the truth from Li Hengbing's face, and pondered for a moment, and said, "Don't donate a single cent."

Li Hengbing looked a little surprised and said, "Don't donate a penny?"

Zhou Zheng raised his head and looked stern, saying, "If I donate it to the court, less than ten taels of 100 taels can be implemented, I can donate it directly to the generals on the front line, and buy food and supplies for them... If there is a national crisis, I will take up weapons to defend the city. I would rather break the jade than to be completely covered, and never bow down and kneel down and kowtow to call him a slave..."

Li Hengbing listened, silent for a while, and suddenly said, "I can do it too."

Zhou Zheng looked at him, but shook his head and said, "If you come out of the imperial prison, it means you are not like this. Don't lie to yourself."
