The chief minister left the palace and went to the King of Chu's mansion. He talked to the nanny for a while before telling Yuwenhao. The emperor disagreed with this matter and told him not to mess around. Just keep a good meal investigation and deductible persons.

Yuwenhao first responded that improving food is something that must be done immediately. It also depends on who is so hateful that he even had to deduct the patient's food and medicine money.

Little did he know that this investigation would have been a shock. The investigation made him stunned. His third uncle Su Dahe was in charge of the patients in Leprosy Mountain.

This Su Dahe is a mediocre person and serves as a member of the Ministry of Revenue. He has finally obtained this position. He has not made any progress after working for many years. Although he has not been promoted for many years, he has not been promoted for many years.

When setting up the Lefeng Mountain, no one was willing to take care of it. He volunteered to take on the job and build a house on the mountain. He then sent someone to guard the mountain. He cooked, and the court allocated 1,000 taels of silver every month. It was used for food and various expenses on the mountain. As for purchasing other medicinal materials, it was reimbursed on the order. The life was caused, and the funeral expenses were 10 taels per person.

At that time, there were more than a thousand people in Leprosy Mountain. One thousand taels per month was enough, because the daily necessities that should be purchased in the early stage were already available, and this thousand taels was just the expense of food and subsequent clothing.

Now there are only three hundred people left. According to the food like steamed buns and steamed buns on the mountain, one meal a day, which costs about ten taels of silver a month, and there is still surplus.

This matter was managed by Su Dahe from the beginning, so it was not difficult to investigate all of it. Yu Wenhao ordered someone to secretly take the account book back home to check it out.

That night, he, Tang Yang and Xu Yi and others calculated until midnight.

When he finished the calculation, Yu Wenhao's face turned black and he was so angry that he threw all the accounts on the ground, and said angrily: "It's outrageous. In the past five years, Mafeng Mountain has actually spent one million taels of silver. What does the Minister of Revenue do for food? Didn't he go to review it?"

Xu Yi was also shocked, "The house in Lefeng Mountain is costing 200,000 taels. How is this possible? That is a row of low houses. The most expensive one is the wages. There is not even a brick. All of them are made of wood on the mountain. The place is originally dense forests, but a flat land is made after logging. The wood cut out is also used for building houses. The most expensive one is artificial. How can it cost 200,000 taels? The 20,000 taels of silver are too much."

Tang Yang picked up the account book and folded it, and said, "What about the wall? It covers an area of ​​more than 50 acres. It costs a lot of walls alone. Are the walls also wooden buildings?"

Xu Yi angrily said, "But you can get it down. There are more than fifty acres of land. There are more than ten acres of land in total. A large row of short bungalows are built densely. The walls only encircle the two sides of the northwest of the main gate. Three hundred taels are enough. The rest face cliffs and dense forests on the other side. How much money do you have to get?"

Tang Yang was very surprised, "Is this what the Ministry of Works does? Didn't the Ministry of Works accept it?"

Yu Wenhao said coldly: "It was all done by Su Dahe. He hired errands. The Ministry of Works only found craftsmen to handle the inspection. There was no acceptance. It was very hasty at that time. After the construction was completed, it would be sent to someone immediately. Where would the Ministry of Works go up to see it?"

Tang Yang was stunned, "Then Lord Su is too brave, right? Are you not afraid of being exposed? Among these expenses, the monthly silver of 1,000 taels is used for food, and there is already surplus silver, as well as medicines, bedding, silver charcoal, fire candles, etc., are all about 2,000 taels, and the Ministry of Revenue will give it to you? Didn't ask?"

Yuwenhao's eyes were filled with rage, "How could it be exposed? If Lao Yuan hadn't said he wanted to treat them, would anyone go to the martyr Mountain to see? Will anyone know that they only eat a bunch of steamed buns every day? Will anyone know that they are not even as good as dogs? After a few years, all people die, and there is no way to investigate all this. The silver will be safe. How good is the plan to make a wishful thinking."

Tang Yang shook his head, "It's really too much. What's the bad money to make? I have to take these money to support my life? It's really a killing person, it's better to kill them before, so I won't be tortured little by little in the past few years, and I'll be tortured to death by being cold and hungry. No wonder so many people jumped over the cliffs."

Yuwen Hao's face was as dark as iron, "Su Dahe doesn't have such courage, and if the Ministry of Revenue does not investigate and review all the funds, he will definitely be scruples."

Tang Yang nodded, "Your Highness is right, I'm afraid your grandfather has come forward."

There are not many people in the Su family who can be afraid of now, that is, Marquis Su.

Su Hou is the father of Concubine Xian and the younger brother of the current empress dowager.

Su Hou is now working in the military headquarters, the commander of the Light Che, but he really doesn't have much ability. He has never really asked the court for his contributions. He is now offering people a gift because his sister is the current queen mother and his daughter is a virtuous concubine.

He has not been highly valued in the past two years, which is also the reason why Concubine Xian is very anxious. Concubine Xian just thought that Yuwenhao could promote the Su family as the crown prince. The Su family has a large family and many nephews. If half of them can become officials in the court, what kind of force would it be?

Tang Yang whispered: "Your Highness, if you move the Su family, you are afraid that it will not only be the Xian Concubine, but also the Empress Dowager."

Yu Wenhao said lightly: "If you can't get through, you have to get through. Tomorrow, you will call Su Dahe to the palace. I will ask him privately first. If he admits, take him to his father and ask him to spit out the silver. If he doesn't admit it, he will communicate with the Ministry of Personnel and do it first."

"Yes!" Tang Yang knew that there was no mercy in this matter.

Yu Wenhao thought for a moment and then ordered Xu Yi, "You go to Su Hou's Mansion and invite Su Long over."

Xu Yiyi was stunned, "So late?"

"Yes, he is a night owl and didn't go to bed so early."

Xu Yi got the order and went there immediately.

After only half an hour, Mr. Su brought Mr. Su over. As expected, he was not sleeping yet. He was dressed in a graceful dress and was still drunk. He entered the door and said, "If it's not important, even my cousin has no mercy."

Yu Wenhao didn't say anything, and threw the account book and Tang Yang's summary book to him, "Look at it for yourself and see what your third uncle did."

Mr. Su opened the account book and said that he was particularly sensitive to numbers. He could find problems even if he saw ten lines at a glance. After reading the account book, he looked at Tang Yang's summary book and was amused and crying, "What's going on? Is the patient's money deducted? Is he sleeping soundly at night?"

"You have no idea about this?" Yuwenhao asked.

"I know nothing!" Mr. Su sat down, his face not very good-looking, "When will I ask about family affairs?"

"Guess, is my grandfather involved in this matter?" Yuwenhao looked at the slightly annoyed face of Mr. Su. Mr. Su was a capable person, and he was full of enthusiasm and wanted to serve the court but could not do the trick.

His father died early, and their orphans and widows were naturally suppressed. Therefore, they have not obtained any official position seriously, but have just taken a free position in the Imperial College.

When Mr. Su heard Yu Wenhao’s question, he smiled bitterly, “If my grandfather had participated, it would not be that difficult for you to deal with. Have you ever thought that the people in the palace would participate?”
