To be honest, the palace is very big, with beautiful scenery, simple, majestic and dignified architecture.

Li Chengfeng saw a group of ministers chatting around a lake.

So Li Chengfeng led the big black dog and went there.

"Erbai, let's go and see where those ministers are playing and what they are doing!"

"Woof woof!"

The big black dog ran happily in front.

Under a huge willow tree, Wei Zheng saw Li Chengfeng leading a big black dog. His heart suddenly skipped a beat.

No way, when did the Eighth Prince get a dog?

And why does this dog look more and more familiar?

Isn't this the dog that bit the emperor's butt the night before yesterday?

When Wei Zheng saw it, he immediately panicked and decided to leave the place.

However, Li Chengfeng said: "Zheng Guogong, why are you running? You ran away when you saw me coming? Is there something wrong in your heart?"

"Uh, that's not the case, Eighth Prince. I suddenly remembered that I still had some trivial matters to deal with at home, so I wanted to go home!"

"Woof woof!"

The big black dog barked twice, and Wei Zheng suddenly trembled in fright.

"By the way, Mr. Zheng, where are they doing?"

Li Chengfeng looked at the group of ministers on the left.

Wei Zheng smiled and said, "Aren't you discussing national affairs?"

"Discussing national affairs? What is that?"

"This, the eighth prince, is telling the truth! Recently, corrupt ministers have appeared in the court! The emperor sown a hundred thousand gold relief gold, but it disappeared?"

"What? There is such a thing? Come on, take me over and have a look!"

"Okay, Eighth Prince!"

Although Wei Zheng still had lingering fears about the big black dog next to Li Chengfeng.

But then I thought about it, that is a national matter. If the Eighth Prince can solve this difficult problem, it will be a good thing for the country!

And the emperor will not be angry because of it.

If they fail to detect the corrupt official, in the end, the emperor will be angry and it will be them and the ministers who will suffer the consequences.

One hundred thousand gold disappeared?

How could this kind of thing happen in the palace?

…

As soon as Li Chengfeng walked up to the ministers, he heard their discussions.

"Hey, was it that corrupt official who stole one hundred thousand gold?"

"Those are ten big boxes. It's impossible to steal them overnight and disappear?"

"So, we have to discuss this matter in the long run. We can't let it reach the ears of the emperor. Otherwise, the emperor will blame me, and I can't afford it. That would be a crime of beheading!"

The person who spoke was none other than Fang Xuanling.

On that day, Li Shimin moved 100,000 gold from the treasury and handed it to Fang Xuanling to handle the South-to-North Water Diversion project.

Fang Xuanling has always kept this money in his own house.

Then he and Du Ruhui made long-term plans to discuss the South-to-North Water Diversion project.

The state funds have been distributed, and once the money is available, the only thing left is to collect labor force.

But just last night, Fang Xuanling went home and opened those boxes.

All the gold in the box turned into stone?

Not a penny left?

One hundred thousand taels of gold disappeared?

At that time, Fang Xuanling felt like dying.

This is the budget money issued by the emperor to relieve the victims and deal with the "South-to-North Water Diversion" project.

The person who manages the money is Fang Xuanling.

But at this moment, all the money was stolen?

If the emperor learns about this and gets angry, Fang Xuanling will definitely lose his life.

Fang Xuanling originally thought that the thieves would not come to the palace.

But this was exactly the opposite of what he thought. The thief seemed to have known that Fang Xuanling had put money into his backyard.

Wait until Fang Xuanling goes south to Chang'an City to inspect the people's situation.

That thief directly used a civet cat to exchange for the prince, and actually turned the gold into stone and stole all 100,000 gold?

"Hey, Mr. Lai Guo, you must help me! If the thief cannot be found, I am afraid that my head will fall on the ground this time and I will definitely die!"

Fang Xuanling's face looked very anxious.

Du Ruhui sighed heavily, and the ministers on the side also sighed and shook their heads, with very regretful expressions on their faces.

After all, none of them want to see something like this happen!

"Oh, why not, while the emperor still doesn't know that one hundred thousand gold has been stolen, let's all pool together some money and give it to Liang Guogong to help the victims!"

Du Ruhui let out a long sigh.

Because he is also involved in the South-to-North Water Diversion Project.

One hundred thousand gold disappeared, the emperor blamed it, Du Ruhui will also be punished.

On the side, Hou Junji let out a long sigh and said: "How can I have so much money? I can only give out 2,000 gold at most. Our total money is only more than 10,000 gold. How can we collect 100,000 gold?"

ah?"

"I do know that one person can come up with so much money! But he will definitely tell the emperor about it!"

"Who?"

"Zhao Guogong's eldest son, Sun Wuji! Zhao Guogong's sister is the queen. The three generations of Zhao Guogong were important ministers of the Tang Dynasty, so the emperor's reward to his family has long exceeded one hundred thousand gold! But Zhao Guogong is an upright person. If this matter reaches Zhao Guogong

If he hears it, I’m afraid he will definitely tell the emperor! After all, if we do this, it is considered a crime of deceiving the emperor!"

"Oh, but what can we do?"

Fang Xuanling sighed heavily again.

Immediately afterwards, Li Chengfeng walked over with a big dog, and old man Wei Zheng was still following Li Chengfeng.

Li Chengfeng smiled, looked at the ministers, and said, "Hey, everyone is here! I heard everything you said!"

"Ding, the surprise from Fang Xuanling has a naughty value of 20!"

"Ding, the fear from Du Ruhui has a naughty value of 22!"

"Ding, the shock from Hou Junji, the naughty value is 20!"

When Hou Junji saw Li Chengfeng coming?

He immediately stepped forward and said with a gentle smile: "Hey, why are you here, Eighth Prince?"

"Why can't I come? I saw so many of you ministers gathered around here to enjoy the scenery. I thought you were reciting poems, but I didn't expect that you were actually discussing a partnership. If my father's term expires? Humph, you are bullying the emperor.

The crime is the crime of beheading, you are so brave!"

After Li Chengfeng finished speaking, the ministers were shocked.

Fang Xuanling quickly knelt down and said to Li Chengfeng: "Eighth Prince, I really have no choice!"

"If I don't do this, I might really lose my head!"

"Yes, Eighth Prince, all the 100,000 gold distributed by the Emperor to Duke Liang to help the victims was stolen? If this matter reaches the ears of the Emperor, he will definitely be very angry!"

Du Ruhui was also pleading for Fang Xuanling.
