Chapter 429: Heart palpitations
Wanting to distinguish a few words for himself, looking at Emperor Chongming's cold and hard face, Qian Weizhen couldn't open his mouth, so he could only complain in his heart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It happened too suddenly, and there were still account books for the first three years in the house in Minxiang. Nowadays, not to mention the re-creation of false accounts, how to return the account books to the household department has become a big problem.
The household department is facing an unprecedented investigation, and Qian Weizhen is not only worried, but also has a little luck in his heart. Thinking that with the connections he has accumulated over the years, he finally throws out one or two substitutes for the dead, and there is no big problem, and he can always turn big things into small things and small things.
Who would have thought that the next morning, Chen Rujun reported the list of officials who participated in the household inventory, and Qian Weizhen was like cold water poured on his body, from the top of his head to his heels.
Not to mention that the officials in the core part, as well as the small officials who wrote and copied on the periphery, were all drawn from the local government by Xia Ge Lao and Chen Rujun, and a considerable number of magistrates from Lishan Academy were now all in place.
If you say that Qian Weizhen is an acquaintance, it is not nothing, Wuxi Taishou Wu went to Beijing to report on his work last time, and was left in the court by Emperor Chongming, and also asked Chen Rujun to arrest Zhuangding, and the list is impressive.
The transfer of more than a dozen local officials entered Beijing quietly without a hint of news.
Liu Ben stood on the Jinluan Palace, looking at Qian Weizhen's calm appearance, and his heart turned over like a river and a sea.
As the leader of the Jiangyin Gang, Liu Ben's qualifications are ranked behind Qian Weizhen and he sits firmly in the second place. Over the years, with their maintenance of the Jiangyin area in Beijing, they have established a good network of relations and firmly controlled the politics and economy of Jiangyin.
Most of the local officials on the list entered Beijing from Huaizhou, and Jiangyin was the only way to go, but they had not heard any clues before. It's either that the local officials are too careless, or that Emperor Chongming's move is simply aimed at Jiangyin.
Liu Ben was clever and kept his mouth shut, and took a neutral attitude towards the household department. He also wanted to wait and see, whether this was Emperor Chongming's career of cutting off money and being really a person, or would it harm the interests of the entire Jiangyin Gang.
Anyway, we must hand over the news quickly, so that the group of people in the Jiangyin area can take precautions and keep their eyes bright.
Looking at Chen Rujun dominating the court, a strategizing appearance, Liu Ben was afraid and hateful, and his intestines turned around, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.
The DPRK and China are impregnable, and it is no longer possible for them to meddle casually. Liu Ben thought about going back, so he asked his wife Da Sticky to repair the book, so that his niece Sticky Yixian could firmly watch Chen Rujun's daughter. Let's take a look at what this daughter of the old mansion has done in Yangzhou, and who she contacts on weekdays, in case Emperor Chongming has any backhands in Jiangyin.
After thinking of countermeasures, Liu Ben deliberately delayed a few steps back when he retreated, and walked with Qian Weizhen. After a brief eye contact, both of them read something from each other's eyes, quite tacitly.
Seeing Liu Ben's figure gradually disappear at the end of the road, Qian Weizhen helped Zhu Lan to sit next to a rockery. The noon sun was brilliant and hot, but Qian Weizhen felt that the top of his head was shrouded in cold, and the feeling of palpitations was one after another, and the pain made sweat droplets the size of beans appear on his forehead.
I took out a life-saving pill from my close-fitting purse and put it in my mouth, and the bitter and astringent taste slid down Qian Weizhen's throat, and it took a while to come to my senses.
For a moment, Qian Weizhen's heart was like ashes. The wind of investigation returned, and there was a great tendency to blow more and more fiercely, and he had been immersed in officialdom for decades, and he knew very well that this was the beginning of his downfall.
The previous wishful thinking was all in vain, and when he had to spend a lot of money to deal with the officials involved in the liquidation, Qian Weizhen knew that he could not do it at all. This group of people are all the henchmen of Xia Ge Lao and Chen Rujun, and they were ordered to enter Beijing secretly, and naturally oil and salt did not enter, and only these two pavilion elders were the first to look forward.
Not only that, these more than ten officials lived in an outer hall specially arranged by Emperor Chongming at the same time, and they went in and out all day long.
The account books of the household department over the years were piled up in the large study room of the outer hall, and Wu Taishou roughly flipped through a few books, and found a few appropriations to go to Wuxi. Wuxi's money and grain income and expenditure are like an imprint in their own brains, and they don't need to be verified to conclude that Wuxi has never seen these silver taels.
Wu Taishou sighed, Qian Weizhen really had the power to cover the sky in the court in the past, and dared to openly record things that were not in the account books of the household department, and the fact that he was greedy for ink at will has surfaced.
Qian Weizhen naturally won't sit still, and asked his henchman Ah Cheng to contact Xuanshuang for him to find out the news, and the chief manager has already changed his face, and the past friendship has been written off.
The chief manager's friendship with himself, as well as the secret conversation between the monarch and the minister he heard in the imperial study, are probably a good show to invite the king into the urn, just to relax his vigilance and have a better one.
If there is a regret medicine in the world that can be sold, Qian Weizhen must not spend a lot of money to buy one pill.
It was also after several years of tasting the sweetness from the military salary, the cautious heart at the beginning gradually became more greedy, and it should not be after the border city, and then the military salary for three years was moved.
This old man looks rough, but who knows that he is thick and fine, and the military salary for several years has been checked clearly, and it is handed over to Emperor Chongming's desk in black and white. The newly appointed secretary of the military department is majestic, and the rough people under his hands echo it, and under the banner of asking for the lives of the border soldiers, he has a great momentum of sleepless with the household department.
The fierceness of the investigation caught many ministers of the DPRK and China by surprise. Some ministers who had been in close contact with Qian Weizhen in private were all in a hurry, for fear that they would be taken into the water by accident.
What Qian Weizhen can do now is to erase the things of the past, and if there is less handle in the hands of Emperor Chongming, there will be one more way to live.
Seeing that the court couldn't intervene, Qian Weizhen made up his mind to take advantage of his sword to resolve the affairs of Yangzhou invisibly.
Calculating the schedule, Mr. Hou should have arrived in Yangzhou a long time ago, and he should have sent the results of the processing to Pegasus, but Qian Weizhen did not receive the news here.
There was already a fire in the front yard, and it was necessary to keep the backyard safe and sound, Qian Weizhen was afraid that Mr. Hou would make a mistake on the way, so he went to pick up the second passer.
Mr. He, who went out on the second road, went straight to the Liang family in Wuxi, and when he asked, he knew that he had never seen Mr. Hou here, let alone Qian Weizhen's handwritten letter, so naturally he did not go to Yangzhou to pay the silver.
Not only that, but the Liang family also tried to get a word out of Mr. He's mouth, so is there a problem with Huitong Bank? The original transaction with Huitong Money Bank, to say the least, there are millions of taels of turnover every year, and the Liang family does not dare to bet on Huitong Money Bank with their savings over the years.
However, the squeeze of five or six million taels of silver made the Liang family so cautious, and Mr. He asked carefully to know that a rumor had already been blown from Yangzhou to Wuxi, saying that the big man behind Huitong Qian Zhuang had fallen, and Huitong Qian Zhuang was already in danger.
