Chapter 424: Don't dare to obey the edict
Deng Jian looked around.
The juniors looked at him one after another.
At this time, it was already the middle of the night, the oil lamp was rising, and the jumping lights were reflected in Deng Jian's bloodshot eyes, shining brightly.
Deng Jian thought about it and said with a serious face: "How much money did the Cui family take?" ”
A junior brother was silent for a moment, and hurriedly lowered his head and turned over the account: "The Boling Cui family and the Qinghe Cui family, the two families have taken a total of 720,000 yuan. ”
"Seven hundred and twenty thousand?" Deng Jian stared at this junior, looking very dissatisfied.
"Well, that's the amount, there's nothing wrong with that." The junior nodded firmly.
Deng Jian shook his head: "No, it should be 723,252 guan." ”
He counted the numbers better than anyone else.
The students were silent for a while.
In the eyes of some, this is just a minutiae.
Deng Jian said angrily: "How much is this?" He gritted his teeth and continued: "I took the money, in the name of credit, but in fact...... Is there really a debt on credit? The accounts were calculated very clearly, and they also did the account books on credit, which was a few years ago, and there was no way to calculate it clearly. And also...... The witnesses involved, as well as the original guarantor, because of their age, the vast majority of people have also passed away. To some extent, the Dou family has been defeated, and those in the know ...... None of it is clear. But they said they owed it, and they owed it. ”
When Deng Jian arrived here, he raised his head, and he raised his head: "It is natural to repay debts." But how could the Cui family lend such a large amount of money in the first place? This is simply to swallow up the wealth that should not belong to their family by raiding the house. To this day, I only have one sentence to say, so many accounts need to be checked, and I can't figure it out without a few years of hard work. Our manpower is far from sufficient, and even if there is abundant manpower, it is difficult for them to make any flaws in their accounts. Herein lies the problem. ”
Deng Jian pointed to the mountain of account books.
He continued: "Therefore, we can't follow the rules, and if we follow the rules, we will fall into the big net they weave, and we will not try to find out the truth for the rest of our lives." So...... I only have one thing in mind, and there is only one thing, and that is ...... The money has to be returned. Why did they take this money? Why? Just because they are the family of Zhongding, just because their surname is Cui? Cui Jia...... It's the first to start with them. We're not criminal officers, we're collectors, and if we want to understand who we are, then everything will be easy, and we have to get the debt back. I sent the driving sticker, they didn't respond, it doesn't matter, they don't come, we will go by ourselves. ”
Deng Jian paused for a moment and said, "We now have two hundred and twenty-seven people, is it enough to go to Cui's house?" ”
That Wu Neng frowned and shook his head: "Senior, I'm afraid it's not enough."
Deng Jian is still very authoritative in the eyes of the juniors.
In the university hall, under the environment of your daily hard study, people do not worship a prominent family background, not a beautiful title, not the huge wealth with a lot of money, where people worship the top students! And Deng Jian is precisely the top student among the top students, and the battle chicken among the top students.
Deng Jian immediately said: "How many people are in the Cui family?" ”
"There are more than five hundred tribes, this is only Chang'an, if the tribes of Boling and Qinghe Cui are combined, I am afraid that there are only seven or eight hundred."
Deng Jian asked again: "Is there a way?" ”
"It's not that there's no way." Wu Neng thought for a while and said: "There is one thing, it is a project led by Mr. Li of our Xueli Research Institute, called artillery, this thing is extremely powerful, in the school, there are four doors, I saw it with my own eyes at the time, the power is not small, but I don't know if Mr. Li is willing to borrow it." ”
Deng Jian said very calmly: "There is no need to borrow, the ancestor said that the manpower and materials of Erpigou are all deployed by me, and the key question is whether you will use it." ”
"I've seen people use it." Wu Neng patted his chest and said, "Remember." ”
So Deng Jian said: "You go and get the cannon, we will assemble, and then let someone send a driving sticker first." Take my warrant and let the guards make it easier. ”
Deng Jian said solemnly: "I will bear the consequences, so be it." ”
"Whoa."
Students, it's never been a big deal.
And they all agreed, and went their own way.
…………
At dawn, the morning fog had just lifted, and there was a dampness in the air.
After several driving stickers were sent to Cui's family, the Cui family, of course, did not respond.
In the Cui family's opinion, if it is a response, it will be stupid.
They are not afraid of this matter at all, so many people in the world have taken a share of the Dou family's corpse, and not only the Cui family has benefited, so why be afraid?
Cui Zhizheng even thought it was ridiculous.
It's just that......
When the porter rubbed his eyes at dawn and opened the middle door, he was surprised to find that there were many scholars outside.
These scholars, with scarves and shirts, and health care around their waists, and a huge brass cannon, were pulled by horses.
The people outside were silent, as if they were waiting for something.
When the porter saw this, he was immediately startled and hurriedly went inside to tell him.
Menzi said anxiously: "Ah Lang, it's not good, it's not good, it's not good, there are many scholars outside......"
"It's just a scholar, what are you afraid of?" Cui Zhizheng said disapprerovingly, he was actually a little annoyed, this Deng Jian is obviously a kraft candy, which is very annoying.
Menzi said with a bitter face: "But they surrounded our mansion. ”
"Don't be afraid, they don't have a will, the old man dares to say it, Your Majesty will never give them such a bold will, as long as Your Majesty doesn't want the world to be in chaos......" Cui Zhizheng sneered indifferently.
If it was because of Cui Yan's matter, he would have been really worried.
But for the sake of the Dou family, he didn't have the slightest fear.
This money, I took it...... But it wasn't taken by the Cui family, there were too many people involved, and he Li Shimin didn't dare to do anything, unless...... Caught the real evidence.
But...... How can we grasp it with real evidence? You must know that the Dali Temple and the Criminal Department in the world, who know the most about the criminal law, do not know how many masters who are proficient in the law and order, and even the laws are formulated by these people, can there be any mistakes?
Cui Zhizheng laughed mockingly, and then said calmly: "Gather the subordinates and guard the mansion for me." Soon the imperial court will get the news, this Deng Jian ...... He's dead. ”
"Whoa."
Immediately, Cui Zhizheng calmed down and asked his brother Cui Zhengxin to come, and the two set up a chessboard to play against each other.
Cui Zhengxin said: "Big brother, this person can't be a madman, right?" ”
Cui Zhizheng's eyes fell on the chessboard, motionless, but he said calmly: "It's okay, it's just a Hanlin, and if you make such an excessive move, you can't spare him." You must know that this Deng Jian is so bold and reckless, it is not our Cui family who is in a hurry, this court is only afraid that many people will jump their feet, look at it, soon the will will come. ”
Cui Zhengxin listened to it and felt reasonable.
How many people in the DPRK and China have benefited, and now there is only one Deng Jian, so bold, if the Cui family is soft, they are only afraid that they will be more anxious than the Cui family.
This Deng Jian...... I'm in a big trouble.
Cui Zhizheng said again: "What's more, there is only a group of Confucian students outside, and there is nothing to hinder it, I have asked Cui Wu to lead people to guard the door, if they dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool, they will teach them to look good." ”
Cui Zhengxin smiled and said, "Yes." ”
So he stared intently at the chessboard.
…………
Early this morning, Li Shimin arrived at the Xuanzheng Hall as usual, Fang Xuanling and the others had already arrived, and they were seated separately, as usual, there would be a small-scale morning discussion to sort out the affairs of the world and make sure that there would be no mistakes.
Li Shimin sat down, looked at Fang Xuanling and the others, and said, "Is there anything wrong with Zhuqing today?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji smiled: "Since Your Majesty ascended to the pole, the government has been harmonious, and the world is peaceful, even if there is something, it is just a trivial matter." ”
Li Shimin smiled.
Fang Xuanling glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji speechlessly.
To tell the truth, Fang Xuanling is a little disdainful of the eldest grandson Wuji, so he will discuss the matter, and he has to say something about what he has and does not have.
At this time, Li Shimin said: "Even if the world is peaceful, how can there be no trouble?" If there is nothing to do, what do you want the Son of Heaven and the court to do, this year's autumn grain, it should be harvested, this should be paid attention to, and the agricultural time must not be delayed. ”
Fang Xuanling bowed.
In fact, although Li Shimin had a smile on his face, behind this smile, he couldn't help but feel a little troubled.
The matter of raiding the Dou family greatly surprised him, and he was still resentful in his heart, of course, Li Shimin was still sensible, and he knew that this matter was very tricky!
At this moment, a eunuch came: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty ......"
Li Shimin looked up.
The eunuch said in a low voice: "It's terrible, Qin sent Deng Jian, with a group of people, to surround the Cui family." ”
"Huh?" Li Shimin looked at the eunuch with a puzzled expression: "Who is it with you?" ”
"A group of university readers."
Fang Xuanling and others, you look at me, I look at you.
Li Shimin frowned: "What is this going to do?" How could this be true, didn't I ask him to check the money and food? What is he doing at Cui's house? Summoning the decree, let him come to see me, and South Korean Gong Chen Zhengtai will be called together. ”
This ......
The atmosphere in the hall became a little tense.
No one knows what kind of fame is being done this time.
It's just that...... Obviously, Deng Jian's approach is unsightly.
After a while, another eunuch came and said, "Your Majesty, Dali Temple Qing Sun Xianggong asks to see you." ”
"Your Majesty, the secretary of the criminal department and the squire ask to see me."
"Your Majesty, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites asks to see me."
"Your Majesty......"
One by one, the ministers seemed to be unanimous, and they all rushed to the outside of the palace to wait for Li Shimin to receive them.
Li Shimin immediately knew what was going on. He glanced at Fang Xuanling and the others: "It's early in the morning, why is it so lively?" Then Deng Jian, why hasn't he come yet? ”
But then, another eunuch hurried over: "Your Majesty, Deng Hanlin...... Deng Hanlin ......"
Li Shimin said lightly: "Say it." ”
The eunuch hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Deng Hanlin said that he was busy and had no time." ”
Li Shimin: "......"
What happened today really made Li Shimin feel incredible, he never imagined that someone would be so bold as to suddenly refuse even his summons?
So Li Shimin frowned and said, "What did he say?" ”
The eunuch trembled, and seemed to feel a little strange, and stammered: "He...... He said...... I have no time today, and I dare not give an edict! ”
Li Shimin suddenly felt a big loss of face, and couldn't help but say angrily: "These people have teamed up to deceive me, can he dare to deceive me even if he is a Deng Jian?" ”
Li Shimin also wants to save face!
If you have no time today, and you dare not say anything that you dare to obey, will anyone be summoned to see you in the future, and you can say that you are not free today, so you will not come to see you?
Fang Xuanling, Eldest Sun Wuji and others were also surprised, in fact, their impression of Deng Jian was quite good, after all...... Their son Zeng and Deng Jiannai were classmates, and learned from the mouth of the eldest grandson Chong and Fang Yiai that this Deng Jian was a very gentle person, and he was also very helpful on weekdays, and was willing to teach his learning experience.
But where did they think that this Deng Jian ...... It's such a thorn.
At this time, Li Shimin said with a cold face: "What about Chen Zhengtai?" ”
That's when ...... Chen Zhengtai came in a hurry to get married.
Chen Zhengtai was obviously a little anxious, knowing that the matter was getting bigger, and after entering the hall, he saluted breathlessly: "Erchen has seen Your Majesty." ”
Li Shimin glanced at Chen Zhengtai and frowned: "What is Deng Jian doing?" ”
"Erchen doesn't know." Chen Zhengtai met Li Shimin's gaze with an innocent face and said, "Erchen really doesn't know. ”
Li Shimin's temper was a little bad today, so he said with a stiff face: "I don't know? Do you know that he took the people from your academy and ran to Cui's house. ”
"Ah......" Chen Zhengtai said with a surprised look: "I can't imagine that he would do such a thing?" Your Majesty, at this point, he is not like me. ”
Li Shimin was speechless, waved his hand and said, "I don't want to hear your nonsense here, I want to know now...... Why did he mess up like this? I asked him to investigate the case, not to let him learn to be on the street and make a storm in the city. ”
Chen Zhengtai thought for a while, and then said, "Actually...... Last night, Deng Jian sent a letter to the students. ”
"Letters?" Li Shimin said keenly: "What kind of letter, take a look at it." ”
Clearly, there is something crucial in this epistle.
Li Shimin now feels as if things are a little out of his control.
This is obviously a very frustrating thing for a son of heaven.
Chen Zhengtai did not hesitate, and immediately took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin took it, opened it and looked down...... There was silence.
He was silent for a long, long time, reading the letter over and over again, frowning sometimes with anger, sometimes with a sigh, his brow furrowed deeper, and sometimes his breath became short......
In the end, Li Shimin showed a wry smile and said, "Zhang Lishi." ”
Zhang Qiandao: "The slave is here." ”
"Take the letter, read it, read it to everyone." Li Shimin sat down, and the whole person was in a trance.
Zhang Qian carefully observed Li Shimin, and then bowed his head: "Huh." ”

The first chapter, the second chapter will come soon.
