Chapter 28, a little confused
Capital.
Eunuch Li hurriedly took Lord Cao and others into the imperial study room.
In the imperial study, the emperor's expression was not good-looking, and the eldest prince and the second prince were silent.
Lord Cao and the others didn't understand why the emperor looked very bad and nothing happened recently.
The emperor handed the memorial on the case to Eunuch Li, who took it to Lord Cao and the others for reading.
After seeing the above content, Lord Cao and his friends also changed their expressions.
We looked at each other, and at this time, no matter whether it was the opponent or something, we were in the same mood, something big was going to happen.
"Your Majesty, this matter..." Lord Cao didn't know how to speak.
The official silver who had been looking for for seven years suddenly appeared, but was discovered in Baoze Mountain. This is a far cry from it?
"Sun Liangzhi has found all the official silver, not only 400,000 taels."
Not only four hundred thousand taels?
Everyone looked at each other. At that time, there were only 400,000 taels missing, so how could it be more than 400,000 taels?
"Prince, how many have Lord Sun found?"
"Forty-five thousand taels of silver are all official silver for the seventh year of Jingjia." The emperor said, "You said, what did you do at that time?"
"Prince forgive me." Seeing that the emperor was angry, Lord Cao and others, including the eldest prince and the second prince, all knelt down.
When the emperor was angry, no matter what happened, it was always right to kneel down and apologize.
The emperor calmed down, how should he calmed down? The evidence of the investigation was clear. At that time, Li Han only embezzled 500,000 taels, and in Li Han's other courtyard it was indeed 100,000 taels. What happened to the extra 50,000 taels?
In the seventh year of Jingjia, the imperial court distributed disaster relief funds to the south of the Yangtze River because of the flood. As for military pay, few people dared to embezzle military pay.
"Liang Guancai, come and talk to me, how did you investigate at the beginning?"
There was only Liang Guantao who was responsible for investigating Li Han's corruption case, and the other one was who had retired and returned home.
Liang Guancai stood up tremblingly, sweating profusely, but he didn't know how to answer.
"Don't calm down." The second prince stood up, "The most important thing now is to investigate how the official silver appeared on Baoze Mountain in the northwest. Jiangnan was completely different from the northwest. How did the criminal Li Han transport the official silver there?"
"Father, my son thinks this is a bit strange." The eldest prince also came out and said, "Why did Chu Xun find the official silver as soon as he arrived in the northwest?"
As soon as the words were finished, the emperor had already slapped the table, which scared them to kneel down again.
"You want to say that this matter is related to Chu Xun?" The emperor was so angry that the eldest prince still had some thoughts on it now.
"Father, my son has no intention, it's just."
"Just what? Who was the one who asked Chu Xun to go to Baoze Mountain?"
The eldest prince was speechless.
The second prince and the others couldn't speak either.
The second prince proposed the idea to let Chu Xun go to Baoze Mountain, but everyone agreed and supported it.
The emperor did not want to kill Chu Xun, so they naturally wanted to send Chu Xun as far as possible.
"Uncle calmed down." Lord Cao looked up carefully, "The most urgent task is to quickly investigate the truth of that year. Li Han refused to admit his crime until his death, but now the official silver was discovered in the northwest. I am afraid there is another hidden truth in this."
Upon hearing this, Liang Guancai and others lowered their bodies and dared not speak, but they cursed Cao Dexin halfway.
What did he mean? Do he mean to say that the emperor convicted the wrong case and wrongly accused Li Han?
You know, the emperor ordered the killing of Li Han's whole family.
But unlike the anger they imagined, the emperor was not angry.
The eldest prince and the second prince were also surprised and secretly looked up and found that although the emperor looked ugly, he did not look angry.
In fact, no one knew that when the emperor ordered the execution of Li Han, hesitated because of Cao Dexin's persuasion and even wanted to take back his life. Unfortunately, the people below were too efficient.
When he knew that the official silver was found in the northwest, he knew that Li Han might have been wronged.
So although Cao Dexin's words would make him extremely embarrassed, he was not angry.
northwest.
Although the official silver has been dug up, Sun Liangzhi still let people protect the scene so that the people sent by the capital could not start if they wanted to investigate.
But Tang Shu felt that there were no clues in this pit. If you want to tell me the clues, the most likely one was the small wooden box and dagger they dug, but her sixth feeling was that those two things should have nothing to do with the official silver case.
While waiting for people to come to the capital to investigate, the river project was not suspended, but the ground was overturned, but the matter of turning the ground was delayed.
But it was not because of the official bank case, but because of the overturning workers who thought digging rivers was more profitable, so they all wanted to dig rivers.
Tang Shu didn't stop him. Anyway, it was not easy to turn over all the land here. Improving the soil bag is also a step-by-step project.
but.
"It was Wang Wei who sent someone to hand over the words." Chu San said.
"Hmm? Are you saying that they didn't voluntarily dig the river?" Tang Shu was surprised. Is there any operation?
Chu San nodded slightly.
Tang Shu held her hand. Because the weather was getting colder and colder, her hand had frostbite now, so he would always hold her hand and give her warmth. "They want to cause trouble for me, and now they can only do it from this aspect."
"It's too late to start." Tang Shu was speechless, "Did he think we were going to complete the transformation of Baoze Mountain in one go? I think we know the impossible."
"Maybe it was because the wind had passed," Chu Xun said, "I didn't make any trouble before, because the emperor showed his special treatment for you."
Tang Shu nodded suddenly, "I understand. He felt that the emperor would not always pay attention to me, and now he has nothing to do. Maybe the wind in the capital has stopped, so he started to take action."
That really brings blessings from the emperor.
"That's right."
"But he should be worried about himself now. He still has the strength to cause trouble for us. He is a little confused about the primary and secondary." Tang Shu was very regretful, "You said he is like this, can this person last for a long time?"
"Who knows?" Chu Xun said with a smile, "Madam wants him to lose his official position?"
It seemed as if she thought that he could make Wang Wei lose his job.
"No, he is not an important person, and it has nothing to do with me whether he is an official or not." Tang Shu said, "Besides, even if he loses his official position, the second prince and the others can still send people over when they turn back. They will also be in trouble, and there is no difference."
