Chapter 1285 Gentleman's Style

"The conditions are poor, please take care of me, my lords. I don't know if your lords are here, what advice do you have?"

After a brief exchange of greetings, Zhu Pingan invited Xu Hai and others into a shed on the East Lake construction site, poured tea for them in a porcelain bowl, and asked.

"Ahem, in recent days, there have been many memorials impeaching Mr. Zhu for colluding with grain merchants, driving up grain prices, and accepting bribes. We came to verify by the order of His Majesty." Xu Hai coughed and said to Zhu Ping'an.

The magistrate of Taiping County on the side was sitting on pins and needles, and his expression of constipation was even worse.

What? Impeach me for colluding with grain merchants, driving up grain prices, and accepting bribes?

Zhu Ping'an was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and glanced at the expressions of everyone in the speech field without any trace, and he understood it in his heart.

Well, looking at the mother-in-law's expressions on Mrs. Xu, Tan Zhifu, and Zhang Baihu's son-in-law, I think they should have completed the secret inspection and proved my innocence. By the way, they were shocked by my grades.

Oh, the magistrate of Taiping has such a constipated and pins and needles expression. Among the people who want to impeach him, there must be this magistrate of Taiping. He will be worried about his official career because the impeachment is wrong.

What are Lord Wang, Lord Zhang, and Peng Yushi? They looked at me with displeased but helpless expressions, probably they were ordered by someone to punish me for the crime of colluding with grain merchants and corruption, but they didn't Thinking that the impeachment was wrong, this trip was empty, so it's not easy to go back to work.

As for Zuo Zhen, it probably wasn't that the wind was in the wrong direction, and there seemed to be admiration in his eyes? ! Accidentally added a fanboy? ! This also proves from the side that Xu Hai and his party have verified my innocence and seen Jingnan's achievements.

It's my turn to act like this, no, it's my turn to show my demeanor.

So, Zhu Pingan twitched the corners of his mouth, smiled wryly, and confessed to Xu Hai and others: "Hehe, I think it is Ping An's behavior of defining high grain prices, which breaks the conventional practice and makes people misunderstood, so I am impeached." I thought they impeached Ping'an for the sake of the 100,000 people in Jingnan. However, the clear ones are self-cleaning, and the turbid ones are turbid. It's just for Ping'an alone, and everyone has to travel all the way from the capital. No matter how the superiors check, Ping An will cooperate unconditionally."

Zhu Ping'an fell behind, Xu Hai and others looked at Zhu Ping'an more appreciatively.

What is the style of a gentleman? ! What is a prime minister who can punt a boat in his stomach? ! What is aboveboard? !

This is!

I was impeached by others, and instead of defending myself, I defended the person who impeached me.

He has always used the heart of a villain to judge the belly of a gentleman, but Zhu Pingan can judge the belly of a villain with the heart of a gentleman.

Not to mention, Zhu Pingan also stated that he unconditionally supports cooperation with the inspection, and his attitude is so correct!

However Xu Hai and others did not appreciate it, Zuo Zhen was even more impressed by Zhu Pingan's generosity and gentlemanly demeanor.

Of course, the constipated expression on Taiping Zhixian's face became even worse, wishing he could find a mouse hole to get into

Well, the effect is good. Zhu Pingan took everyone's expressions into his eyes and secretly gave himself a thumbs up.

"Ahem, in fact, we have basically verified that the impeachment was wrong, and Mr. Zhu is innocent."

Xu Hai coughed and said softly.

"What? Has it been found out? You are really fast and resolute, discerning, safe and admirable."

Sure enough, Zhu Pingan knew it in his heart, but he showed a shocked expression at the right time.

Next, Xu Hai and the others further asked Zhu Pingan about the situation, and Zhu Pingan ordered the guards to go to the county government

Next, Xu Hai and others briefly talked about the investigation situation with Zhu Pingan, and learned more about the relevant situation. Zhu Pingan asked people to go to the county government to check the "Donation Agreement" signed by the shopkeeper Yang and others, and the "Donation Agreement" signed by the people when the donation was distributed. The "Donation Release Form" was taken and displayed in Xu Hai et al.

The "Donation Agreement" and "Donation Release Form" further confirmed Zhu Pingan's innocence, and Xu Hai also took several copies from them as evidence to enrich the materials for closing the case.

When Wang Meng and the others saw the "Donation Agreement" and "Donation Release Form", their faces turned black, and they cursed in their hearts. This little thief, Zhu Ping'an, is really treacherous. It turns out that he has been guarding against this day for a long time. With these "Donation Agreement" and "Donation Release Form", he has long been invincible.

Maybe, he is still looking forward to being impeached

Wang Meng and others thought bitterly.

I actually impeached such a person. Taiping Zhixian's face has long lost a trace of blood.

"Lord Zhu, we have traveled half of the south of the Yangtze River on this trip, and there are mourners everywhere. There are countless people who have died of hunger. Only your land is full of food and rice, and the people live and work in peace. It is full of vitality, like a paradise. How did you come up with the idea? Raise the price of food?"

Xu Hai and others asked curiously.

Zhu Pingan naturally had nothing to hide, and explained again what he had explained to the county clerk and the witch Ruonan.

"According to the local conditions, it is very fortunate that Jingnan can have Mr. Zhu." Xu Hai and others saw the actual situation in Jingnan with their own eyes, especially the contrast with other places, so it was easier and more profound to understand, and they couldn't help nodding.

"Master Zhu, you have such a good method, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Tan Lun said with half praise and half blame.

"Fufu, since ancient times, when disasters such as floods and droughts occurred, the first priority was to stabilize food prices. This has been a conventional practice. Raising food prices breaks the conventional management and is contrary to common sense. It's just me One person, one person speaks lightly, I mentioned it to you, will you believe me?"

Zhu Pingan replied with a wry smile.

Tan Lun nodded when he heard the words. If Zhu Pingan had mentioned it to him at that time, he would never have believed it. Maybe he would blame Zhu Pingan for his absurd nonsense and not taking the life and death of the people seriously.

Also, before the flood happened, Zhu Ping'an had sent himself an official document reminding him of the flood. Put it on the shelf, in short, it was Zhu Ping'an who mentioned it. I didn't respond to such a criminal record. It's normal for Zhu Pingan to stop talking. How can I have the right to blame Zhu Pingan.

"Master Zhu, when I go back to Taizhou Prefecture, I want to imitate you in defining food prices in Taizhou Prefecture and carrying out work-for-relief matters. I would like to ask Master Zhu to enlighten me on the key points and matters that need attention."

Tan Lun cupped his hands and said to Zhu Ping'an.

"The Fu Zun's words are serious. Even if the Fu Zun doesn't say anything, Ping An will speak up. I have drawn up a draft of the relevant proposal document, and I am preparing to submit it to the Fu Zun after being corrected in the near future. The precautions and so on are all listed in the proposal."

Zhu Ping'an hurriedly got up and returned the salute, taking out a folded official document from his arms, and handing it to Tan Lun with both hands.

"Proposal for Taizhou Government to Define Grain Prices and Relief with Work"

Tan Lun took it over and took a look. Just looking at the title of the document, he knew that what Zhu Pingan said was true, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed of what he had just thought.
