Chapter 141 Angry
The large house behind Xinlong Money House is Feng Yichen's residence.
Feng Yichen read the account book while listening to his subordinates' reports.
"Yesterday, the Tenth Highness came out of Liujing Pavilion and went back to the mansion directly, but never came out again. He didn't go out until this morning. He met His Highness Nine while on the street patrol. He was pulled to the Ministry of Revenue by His Highness Nine. He stayed in the Ministry of Revenue for about an hour and returned to Shuntian Mansion."
"No other abnormal behavior?"
"Last night, Prince Lu of the Prince of Pingnan's Mansion and Prince Zhou of Duke Cheng's Mansion visited His Highness Ten, and they came out soon."
"Where is Zhen Ri'an?"
"He entered the tenth prince's mansion yesterday and never came out. The young man sent someone to stare outside."
"It seems that Zhen Ri'an's foothold is on the tenth prince's mansion. In that case, the chessboard should be in the tenth prince's mansion. Have you found the arrangements of the tenth prince's mansion?"
The subordinate shook his head: "The young man didn't dare to get too close. The guards in the tenth prince's mansion are very skilled in martial arts, and they are above the young man."
Feng Yichen closed the account book and rubbed his temples. This matter is not easy to deal with!
I originally wanted to find Zhen Ri'an's place to steal the chessboard, but it seemed that this plan would not work.
In Shuntian Mansion and Xiao Qian's office room, the three of them were silent after reading the booklet brought back by Xiao Qian, and their hearts were as if thousands of horses had passed by.
The booklet records the tax items and numbers of Jiangling County a year five years ago, which are very detailed.
Everyone in the Dasheng Dynasty knew that five years ago, the vast majority of the two sides encountered floods and killed more than 100,000 people.
Xiao Qian knew more. He remembered that the court allocated several funds to provide disaster relief and issued a series of tax exemption and tax reductions to allow the victims to recuperate. However, from the booklet, the court's decrees were not implemented in the local area. The government made a name to impose violent taxes, completely disregarding the lives and death of the people. What's even more hateful is that officials from Guangdong and Guangxi repeatedly requested the court to allocate funds. Who did these silver end up in the hands of whom? Officials from Guangdong and Guangxi? Ministers of the Ministry of Revenue, or King Zhao, who has a deep foundation in the Ministry of Revenue, is chilling.
This is also the reason why Zhang Boqian was framed and died in prison.
Those people cannot let Zhang Boqian live.
"Xiao Qian, what are you going to do?" Lin Yanyan's eyes were cold. These corrupt officials who deceived their superiors and subordinates deserved death.
"It is natural to investigate, but this matter is very important and cannot be handled by Shuntian Mansion. I have to report it to my father."
"I really didn't expect that a prostitute's murder would actually involve a huge corruption case." Lu Zhaonan realized that if this was investigated, it would be a change of the situation in Guangdong and Guangxi, and not only Guangdong and Guangxi, but the entire court would be greatly shocked.
"This matter must not be leaked. I think Bihan's case will be settled first." Lin Yanyan suggested.
Xiao Qian nodded: "No further ado, I'll go find Lord Ji, Yan Yan, and Zhen Ri'an. You don't need to use this identity again in the near future. I'll let someone pull the nail outside and leave later."
Lu Zhaonan was confused: "What nail?"
Xiao Qian said: "Miss Bihan sent by Feng Yichen, rather than saying that she died at the hands of Qiu Rong, she died at the hands of Feng Yichen. Qiu Rong was just Feng Yichen's chess piece. This nail has been following me since I left the mansion and is now set to guard outside the government office."
"Where is Feng Yichen's origin? You dare to follow me." Lu Zhaonan took a few days to work, but he knew nothing about the subsequent situation.
"The head of Xinlong Money House."
Lu Zhaonan: Uh... Rich people, collusion between officials and businessmen?
Xiao Qian called Guan Sheng and gave a few instructions in Guan Sheng's ear. Guan Sheng took his brothers out of the government office, found an excuse to arrest the person Xiao Qian described, and threw him into the prison without interrogating or asking.
Stay inside!
The nails were cleaned up, and Lin Yanyan asked before leaving: "What's wrong with your hand?"
She really wanted to know how she hurt him.
Xiao Qianwei smiled: "It's okay, I just twisted it."
"It's really okay?"
Xiao Qian moved his finger and said, "Do you think this seems to be something wrong?"
I just don’t know if scars will be left after it is cured. He has scar removal medicine, but he doesn’t want to use it. It’s good to keep it as a souvenir.
Seeing that his fingers were moving as usual, Lin Yanyan felt at ease. He would be cured if the injury was not serious. Otherwise, he would be really disgusted. It would be ridiculous to take off other people's clothes when he was drunk. If he wanted to get rid of his hands, what should he do if he couldn't marry a wife?
Lin Yanyan stopped asking and pretended not to know anything, so as not to be embarrassed and leave in a hurry.
Xiao Qian immediately entered the palace with Lord Ji.
The emperor read the booklet, his face was calm and could not speak for a while, his beard was shaking and he was so angry.
Lord Ji and Xiao Qian stood there with their heads down. Without looking, you could feel the pressure released by Long Yan after being furious, which made people feel suffocating.
After a long time, the emperor said angrily: "The court's salary has raised such a group of traitors, rioters, ministers, thieves, sons."
The last four words pop out from the cracks of teeth.
He thought he had opened up his own way of speaking, and with the seven towns, the Siru, who had omnipresent eyes, monitored all officials, could be more honest, but he didn't expect that he would join forces to deceive him and play him as a monkey. This was five years ago, and who knew how many dirty things they had done in the past five years. If it weren't for the carefulness of the child Lao Shi and Yan Yan, I wonder if this old case would have been seen again, and the emperor would have been deceived.
Cao Quan was shocked and his head lowered. He had been serving the emperor for thirty-seven years, and it was the second time he saw him so angry.
The last time was the queen's death.
"Inquiry, we must investigate strictly. The orphans must strictly deal with these borers and rats, and no one will be left."
Lord Ji and Xiao Qianmo remained silent. The emperor wanted to investigate, but did not say who asked him to investigate. It would be better for the emperor to speak up himself.
"Ji Aiqing."
"I'm here."
"I want you to go to Guangdong and Guangxi, not as an imperial envoy, but as a demoted person."
Lord Ji said seriously: "Minist, follow the order."
He understood the emperor's intention, and the whole country and Guangxi were in a mess. If he went there as an imperial envoy, he would probably not find out anything. Instead, it would be easier for an exiled official to act.
"This trip is dangerous. I will send two masters to you, follow your orders, and give you the Sword of Shangfang to allow you to act cheaply. You should pay attention to safety."
"I will never refuse to die." said Lord Ji.
The emperor waved his hand and asked Lord Ji to retreat first.
"Lao Shi, you are very good." The emperor spoke.
"My son is just doing his best." Xiao Qian said modestly.
"You have solved Bei Dixi's crime and your father did not reward you. Do you have any complaints?"
Xiao Qian said: "The father is safe and the mountains and rivers are safe, so my son is satisfied."
