Chapter 766: A Whole Hall of Gold
"Really?" Zhu Shou sneered, and directly drew his knife to Sui Ming's shoulder, "It doesn't matter if you admit it or not, since General Ben said so, there is evidence." ”
Sui Ming pretended to be calm, he didn't believe that Zhu Shou really had his own evidence. What's more, even if Zhu Shou has evidence, what if he bites him to death and doesn't admit it, what can Zhu Shou do with himself?
"Aiqing, what are you doing?" The change came so quickly that the emperor hadn't reacted to what was going on.
"Can't the emperor see that Weichen is eradicating traitorous ministers for the emperor?" Zhu Shou said coldly.
The emperor has not even figured out what is going on, why did Prime Minister Zuo become a traitor in the mouth of the general? Could there be any misunderstanding in the middle?
"Sui Aiqing has always been my right-hand man, could it be that Aiqing you misunderstood?" the emperor said.
"Your Majesty, you must be the master of the old ministers. Although the old minister is only a civil official, but he can't help the general to spread wild on the head of the old minister, if the general doesn't give the old minister an explanation today, then the old minister will get justice for himself even if he is splashed with blood on the spot today. ”
"Don't worry even if you want to die, General Ben will always convince you. Come, bring the witnesses. "It is obviously the main hall of the last dynasty, but now it has become a public court for trials. But the person who is now trying the case is Zhu Shou, who has just captured King Su.
These people didn't dare to speak out even if they wanted to stop it, so they could only watch Sui Ming, who was obviously the prime minister of Zuo, being forced by Zhu Shou to kneel on top of the hall.
"General, the witnesses have been brought. ”
The witness Zhu Shou mentioned was a young man in his twenties, dressed in brocade clothes, but his face was vain, and at a glance, he knew that he was overindulgent.
"Uncle, you need to save your nephew. As soon as the young man saw Sui Ming, the prime minister of Zuo, who was kneeling on the ground, he immediately pounced. Ask Sui Ming to save him.
"Lord Sui, don't you want to tell General Ben that you don't know who this person in front of you is? Zhu Shou said.
Sui Ming sneered, "This is my nephew from my own family, how could I not know him?"
"Since Lord Sui admits that he knows, it's good. ”
"Come on, take out the secret letter on Sui Huajiang's body and show it to everyone. Zhu Shou said.
The entourage immediately grabbed Sui Huajiang, and then took out the secret letter from Sui Huajiang's arms.
"Does Prime Minister Zuo want to say that this secret letter on Sui Huajiang was designed by General Ben to frame you?" Zhu Shou said.
Sui Mingzheng had this meaning, but it was just a secret letter collected from his nephew, what could it say? As long as anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was a false accusation against himself.
"The general also knows that this secret letter is not credible, how can he bring it to the saint in a daze, isn't it a sudden joke?" Sui Ming was obviously a lot more relaxed when he knew that this secret letter was found from his nephew, who had no achievements.
"This is not necessarily, because someone who is smart is mistaken by cleverness, and handed this secret letter to the person General Ran Ben will not suspect the most. But it was precisely because of this person who would not make General Ben suspect the most that he fell into General Ben's hands. Otherwise, how could General Ben get this secret letter?"
Zhu Shou opened his secret letter in front of Sui Ming, "Lord Sui, can you see that this secret letter was written by you?"
Sui Ming knew at a glance that this secret letter was written by himself, but hadn't he already handed over this secret letter to be burned at the beginning? How could it appear in Zhu Shou's hand?
"The general is really funny, judging from the handwriting, this secret letter is indeed the general's. But there are not a few people in this world who are familiar with the handwriting of the original picture. Therefore, nine times out of ten, this secret letter was imitated by someone imitating the handwriting of the original image. Sui Ming said.
Zhu Shou sneered and glanced at Sui Ming, "I see, by the way, my subordinates are looking for the address in this secret letter, guess what we found?"
Sui Ming wanted to plug his ears, but reason told him that he must not do this.
"I wonder where the general found something?"
"Bring it up. Zhu Shou said.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Shou's personal soldiers rushed in, and carried a total of 388 large wooden boxes into the main hall. Fortunately, the main hall is spacious, otherwise I am afraid it would not be able to accommodate so many wooden boxes.
"Aiqing, what's in these boxes?" the emperor asked.
"Since the emperor wants to know, why don't you open it and take a look yourself?"
Of course, the emperor didn't have to open it himself, when the waiting eunuchs uncovered the lids of the wooden boxes one by one. The Emperor's eyes were about to pop out.
There are at least 2,000 taels of gold in each box, and imagine that 388 boxes are more than 700,000 taels of gold.
How could such a large sum of money be in Zhu Shou's hands?
"Aiqing, what's going on?"
"Weichen doesn't know what's going on, but if the emperor really wants to know what's going on, you might as well ask the prime minister. Maybe the Prime Minister knows what's going on. ”
"Sui Aiqing, what's the matter with all this gold?"
How could Sui Ming not know that these were all bribes he had received over the years, and among them was the 100,000 taels of gold that King Su gave him. It's just how did Zhu Shou find these?
"Emperor Mingjian, the old minister really doesn't know what's going on. General, the old minister doesn't know where you have looted so much people's fat and people's ointment to frame the old minister. But don't you want to use this trick to deceive the public. The emperor won't believe your nonsense. Although Sui Ming's heart was dripping blood, he knew it very well. I can't admit that this gold is my own. Once he admits that the gold is his own, he will also be convicted of corruption and bribery. What's more, there is still a rebellion against King Su, and I am afraid that it will be a big crime of the nine clans if you are not careful.
"In this way, Prime Minister Zuo is adamant that this gold has nothing to do with you, Prime Minister. Zhu Shou said.
"Nature has nothing to do with nature. Sui Ming said.
"Since Prime Minister Zuo said that this gold has nothing to do with you, then General Ben is also relieved. Your Majesty, now that the army is short of food, since this batch of gold is ownerless, Weichen begged the emperor to allocate this gold to the military supplies. ”
More than 700,000 taels of gold are all classified as military supplies, and I am afraid that only Zhu Shou can open this mouth. But no one dared to speak out against him.
Especially since even the emperor thinks that since this gold was found by Zhu Shou himself, it is naturally up to Zhu Shou himself to decide what to do with it.
"Then follow the general's words. The Emperor said.
Sui Ming couldn't believe it, how could the emperor give all the gold to Zhu Shou so easily?
