Chapter 223 VS Favorite Concubine System Thirty-Eight
Half an hour later, in the imperial study. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Bi has already listened to the two of them, and he understands the whole story clearly, which is really shocking!
Among the people involved in this deerskin account book, Wei Jiyang is the lowest-ranking official, no wonder the wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and the case was closed in a hurry!
It turned out that the people involved were so huge, and nearly two percent of the officials in the court were involved, and even Prime Minister Hu Zhanxiang had a stroke, and on the way to the palace just now, someone wanted to intercept and kill, what a boldness!
Li Bi threw all the things on the imperial book case to the ground, trembling with anger, and did not speak for a long time.
Lord Lu and He Shouyi both knelt in front of the bookcase and did not dare to raise their heads.
"Check, give me a thorough investigation, check one by one! You will now draw up a list of people who are not in this deerskin account book, your Dali Temple is the chief judge of this case, I want to see what happened to the officials of the Southern Tang Dynasty now, whether they are so unbearable!"
The two knocked on the leader's order, flipped through the account book in the imperial study, drew up a list, and listed four people in less than a quarter of an hour, one was Zhu Xiangchen, the young secretary of Dali Temple, and the other three were military generals Chen Zhijing, Lou Ximing, and Duan Chuyong.
Li Bi looked at the list and nodded, after all, from the three products, he could still call up a few useful and familiar to him, it was not easy, rubbed his swollen temples, and handed the deerskin account book and Xuanyuan mirror into the hands of the two.
"I give you fifteen days, I want to see the results, all these officials involved you have the right to investigate, anyone who exceeds five hundred taels of silver can be arrested and tried, if there is resistance, you can use Shang Fang's sword to cut it first!
Let Chen Zhijing, Lou Ximing, Duan Chuyong, and the three of them each lead 500 forbidden troops to protect your safety, I don't believe it, and I can't stop this trend of corruption! Okay, you can stand down! Gonggong Cao gave Shang Fang the sword and the imperial decree. ”
After the two knelt down again, they retreated, when did He Shouyi see such a battle, as soon as he came out of the imperial study, his legs were a little weak, and he almost fell, Gonggong Cao hurriedly helped people up and sent the two out.
Out of the palace gate, the people sent by the Xiaoyao Mansion were still waiting, and Lord Lu felt a little relieved.
Walked up to the two and bowed, "Two, please tell King Xiaoyao, Lu thank you for your rescue!"
The two of them replied with a humble salute: "My lord's thanks, I will bring them, the prince said, today's interception is just the beginning, if you want to be safe, as long as the case is thoroughly investigated and the root cause is investigated, all crises can be resolved! ”
As soon as the words fell, a bunch of people came out of the palace gate, led by Chen Zhijing, who was dressed in silver armor, and walked in front of Lu Shiming and Lord Lu with the sound of metal colliding.
"Lord Lu, I will send you back to Dali Temple in the end!" Chen Zhijing hugged his fists and saluted.
Lord Lu's eyes were full of gratitude, "Thank you General Chen for your protection!"
Chen Zhijing nodded, and turned sideways to signal Lord Lu to get into the car.
Arrived all the way safely to Dali Temple, Chen Zhijing began to arrange the defense around Dali Temple, eager to pull down even a fly to check it, that night Lord Lu Shiming will all the Shaoqing and Temple Cheng in Dali Temple, all summoned to the hall to read out the emperor's holy decree, everyone was extremely surprised and shocked, but saw the Janissaries around Dali Temple knew the seriousness of the situation.
Most of the nobles and officials in Beijing knew about it the next day, and everyone in the heavily guarded Dali Temple was eager to go around, so as not to provoke right and wrong.
How can the Liu brothers not understand, this is because of the failure of last night's assassination, look at this posture Dali Temple should have some evidence, otherwise how can the emperor be so angry!
Qingguo Mansion Study.
Liu Chengjing sat on the top, Liu Chengchun and Liu Chengqiu paced back and forth, every time they came back, they were shocked, just now there was news from the palace, saying that Wei Jiyang's private account book was mentioned in the imperial study, Liu Chengchun was stupid!
At first, he did hear Wei Jiyang say that there was an account book, but when Wei Jiyang was rescued, he didn't even return home, how could he hide the account book?
Besides, his people have already searched all Wei Jiyang's homes, but they have not found the so-called account books!
Who is there, Liu Chengchun doesn't know everything, but he still knows part of it, the key is that he should not appear on it less, after all, in order to ensure that some juniors of the Liu family can enter the officialdom smoothly, a lot of dredging was carried out, which involves a lot of gift money exchanges, and no one knows how much of these can appear on Wei Jiyang's account books!
Liu Chengjing slapped the table, and the two of them trembled, "Who sent someone to intercept and kill Lu Shiming?"
Liu Chengchun stood with his hands in his hands, "I sent someone to intercept and kill, I didn't expect this Lu Shiming to be on guard and let him escape!"
Liu Chengjing said gloomily: "Why don't you send people to send more masters at one time to solve the problem thoroughly? What should I do now that the emperor has even sent out the Praetorian Guard? What should I do if you tell me?"
When he said the last sentence, Liu Chengjing had already choked Liu Chengchun's neck.
Seeing that Liu Chengchun's eyes were protruding and it was difficult to breathe, Liu Chengjing let go of him, Liu Chengchun fell to his knees, coughing constantly, panting, just now he thought that Liu Chengjing was going to strangle him, and the feeling of being extremely close to death made him afraid.
Liu Chengqiu didn't dare to help his brother up, he was in a hurry, knelt down and hugged Liu Chengjing's legs, and prayed: "The second cousin brother also wants to contribute to the Liu family, his heart is good, and what he wants to do now is not what he wants, you have to save him!"
Liu Chengjing closed his eyes, sat on the chair as if he was out of strength, and said lightly after a long time, "Get up!"
Liu Chengjing squinted his eyes and began to order: "From today onwards, shut the door and call yourself sick, don't go to court for the time being! I will let the Queen Mother come forward to protect you, don't do useless work, assassinate or something, it's too late for you to throw yourself into the net!
The two said yes, Liu Chengjing rubbed the white jade wrench on his finger, and his cold gaze made the two of them tremble, they really felt scared, and they swore that they would not dare to do it again.
"Think about who is in the accounts of all the people who have passed through Wei Jiyang's hands? How much is the money? If the law does not blame the public, I don't believe that the emperor is going to sanction all of them? If all the officials involved are dismissed, can the emperor still be called the emperor?" Liu Chengjing seemed to have figured out something, no longer too excited, and leaned back on the chair and drank tea leisurely.
