Guo Dan's stunned eyes made Wanli feel a little weak inexplicably, and it was really the feeling of being a thief, only to feel that he had stolen something from Guo Dan, and couldn't help but glance at Zhang Whale.

Zhang Whale understood it, and immediately sneered: "Of course this box is yours, but the silver in this box is not yours." ”

Guo Dan first glanced at Zhang Whale in surprise, and then said with a look of admiration: "I didn't expect that the overseer even knew this, and this silver was indeed not mine." ”

"You admit it?"

Zhang Whale was also a little stunned, as the overseer of Dongchang, he had interrogated many prisoners, but he had never seen such an honest person, he could only say that this kid didn't play cards according to the routine!

Guo scratched his head honestly and said with a shy smile: "I am a little confused when the overseer said, this silver is not mine, so why should I admit that it is mine, even if I admit that it is mine, but the owner of these silver will not admit that it is mine." ”

Zhang Whale was a little dizzy by him, and after a while, he asked, "Since it's not yours, why is this silver in your hands?" ”

Guo Dan sighed: "Here's the thing, these silvers are all Zhou Feng of Jinyulou and Cao Da ...... of Yunxiao Tower, and they put them here for the time being. ”

I knew you kid would say that. Zhang Whale sneered a few times and said, "Do you want to say that you are planning to expand your little tooth shop recently, and they want to participate in it?" ”

As the boss of the Ming intelligence system, there is not much he can check on this matter, and he has already found it clear.

Guo Dan suddenly looked at it again: "The Overseer is really powerful, even he knows this clearly, Guo Dan's worship of the Overseer is really like a surging river, ....... endlessly." ”

"You don't talk much here, Gu Zuo said him."

Zhang Whale snorted, interrupted his words, and wondered in his heart, did this kid know that he was already destined to be at stake, and he would not be able to protect his head at any time, and he was too lazy to go around in circles with Guo Dan, and he was about to be dizzy, pointing at Guo Dan and saying: "You bold boy, in front of Your Majesty, you dare to pretend to be stupid and stunned, and you are untrustworthy, these silver are clearly your use of the canonization ceremony to raise donations, and fill your pockets." As far as you are concerned, how can you hide it from the Governor, I think you must have secretly agreed to Zhou Feng and their requests, and then asked them to hand over the silver to you in private. ”

This is really not what he forcibly framed, although he found out about the shares, but he really didn't believe it, because this way of collecting money is too sneaky, he doesn't dare to put it at home, there must be a cat in it, with his years of experience, he believes that Guo Dan is trying to fill his own pockets, and he has seen a lot of this kind of routine.

When Guo Dan heard this, he couldn't help but look at Zhang Whale in amazement.

"You have nothing to say." Zhang Whale sneered, and immediately said to Wanli: "Please also ask Your Majesty to hand over this matter to the minister for investigation, and the minister promises that within three days, the investigation will be clear." ”

Wanli looked a little hesitant, glanced at Guo Dan, and saw that he was speechless, a little disappointed, thinking, it seems that this matter is as Zhang Whale said, but he still wants to give Guo Dan a chance, after all, he still likes Guo Dan very much, and said: "Guo Dan, now that this person has obtained the stolen goods, what else do you have to say." ”

"Your Majesty, grass people--- poof--- hehe... Hehe... Sorry, poof, the grass people can't help it, haha---。 ”

Guo Dan said as he spoke, and suddenly burst into laughter.

Wanli and Erzhang were stunned.

Is this kid crazy?

It seems that the skill of the overseer of the East Factory has increased a lot, in the past, those people had to go crazy after entering the East Factory, but now they are good, they haven't entered yet, and this person is crazy.

It's a pity that such a young talent!

"What are you laughing at?"

Zhang Whale was very unhappy and pointed at Guo Dan and reprimanded.

You should be on your knees and begging for mercy.

"I'm sorry, Overseer, but I... Give me some more time... Ha ha! ”

Guo smiled lightly and tears came out, and he couldn't stop at all.

Damn it! Zhang Whale was so angry that the corners of his eyebrows jumped, and he immediately said to Wanli: "Your Majesty ........" ”

Wanli raised his hand to stop Zhang Whale from continuing, and said with a gloomy face: "Don't be impatient, now that the stolen goods are obtained, he can't run, and there is no need to rush for a while, and let him laugh for a while, I want to hear what he is laughing at." ”

"Many... Thank you, Your Majesty... Forgive the rudeness of the grass people. Guo Dan bit his lip and said vaguely.

"You keep laughing!"

Wanli gritted his teeth and glared at Guo Dandao.

He was really annoyed, this is really a very serious matter, can't you be serious, make the atmosphere so embarrassing.

Guo Dan couldn't help but restrain a little, and if he laughed again, something might happen, so he hurriedly said with trepidation: "The grass people just didn't hold back for a while, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." ”

Wanli waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about these first, I just want to hear it, what are you laughing at?" I don't think it's funny. ”

Guo glanced at Zhang Whale and said, "Overseer, I... This one... Hehe.... ”

Zhang Whale really wanted to beat this guy to death, he felt that Guo Dan's laughter was humiliating him, after all, he was reasoning seriously, not talking about cross talk.

Wan Li said suddenly: "You don't say it quickly." ”

"Yes."

Guo Dan wanted to cry without tears and said: "The grass people just think that this silver is inevitably too little, which is not quite in line with the value of the grass people, and I am afraid that no one will believe it when I say it." ”

"A little too little?" Wanli was puzzled: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Guo Dan bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, there is only a total of 10,000 taels of silver here, and the grass people just use their brains casually, and they don't just earn so much, can the grass people take risks for this money, hehe......" ”

Speaking of the back, he couldn't help but laugh again.

Wanli's face was already very ugly.

Dare to be affectionate for a long time, we are too petty.

10,000 taels of silver, you can't even look down on it.

Zhang Whale's face was even more iron-blue, and the thick rouge powder could not cover it. "You're really a little kid! But you can't fool me with this lie, if it's 100,000 taels here, you can say the same! ”

"One hundred thousand taels..." Guo Dan thought for a while, nodded and said, "This can be considered." ”

"Presumptuous."

Wanli finally got mad, pointed at Guo Dan and said, "You haven't come from the truth soon." ”

Guo Dan was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, and said with a wronged face: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the grass people are really wronged, and this matter is actually related to Your Majesty." ”

Wanli frowned and said, "Something to do with me?" ”

"Hmm."

Guo Dan nodded aggrievedly and said: "Your Majesty still remembers that the grass people once mentioned to Your Majesty that because the grass people's tooth line is too small, the task given to the grass people by His Majesty cannot be completed as soon as possible, and I hope Your Majesty can allow the grass people to expand the scale of the tooth shop." Inside, you were there at the time. ”

Zhang Cheng nodded slightly.

Wanli also said: "Of course I remember, but what does it have to do with this silver?" ”

Guo Dan replied: "After His Majesty allowed the grass people to expand the tooth shop, the grass people suddenly found that the money in this house was not enough, so they thought of looking for partners and asking them to invest money in our tooth shop, so that the expansion could be completed as quickly as possible." But because it was on the eve of the canonization ceremony, the grass people also thought about waiting for the canonization ceremony to come later.

At that time, the grass people only mentioned this matter to a few businessmen who had close contacts with the grass people, but where did they think that after they knew about it, they had to stuff the silver to the grass people, hoping to settle this matter earlier, but the grass people were not a casual businessman, the grass people still hoped to be able to choose partners carefully, so the silver was set as sincerity gold, so far, this silver is really not the grass people's, it can only be said that it is a deposit, they can still get it back at any time. ”

"Nonsense."

Zhang Whale scolded angrily, and said: "If this silver comes from the open, why do you hide it and participate in the small courtyard in the west of the city, instead of putting it at home, there are 10,000 taels here." ”

Guo Dan smiled bitterly: "That's because my family's silver vault was occupied by those donated silver, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, I asked them to put the silver in the small courtyard in the west of the city, and I signed a contract with those merchants, which was clearly written." If Your Majesty and the Overseer do not believe, the grass people can have the contract fetched. ”

"Your Majesty, his words must not be trusted."

Zhang Whale first bowed to Wanli, and then pointed at Guo Dan and said: "It is said that you businessmen are cunning and changeable, and now I can be regarded as knowledgeable, this is clearly an excuse that you have prepared in advance, how can there be such a coincidence, the people who give you silver are precisely the businessmen who participated in the canonization ceremony, and what do you have to stuff the silver for you, listen to what you say, it is simply ridiculous." I think there must be something shady in this. Your Majesty, you have seen a lot of such things, and many people who are corrupt and pervert the law have tried all kinds of ways to cover up the fact that they have embezzled and accepted bribes, and they are much more clever than this kid's statement. ”

Wow! Even if it's a lie, how can I still come up with evidence, you rely on one mouth, and even say that I can't be trusted, it's really worthy of being from Dongchang, whether it's black or white, it's all up to you. Guo Dan admired Zhang Whale's face a little, whatever words came out of his mouth, it was like the real thing, this is a talent.

Of course, he also knew that once he entered the process of the East Factory, it would really be Zhang Whale's final say, and it would be impossible to come out again.

Wanli nodded slightly, and said: "The factory minister is reasonable, this is too much of a coincidence, and besides, you are just expanding the tooth line, and those people give you as much as 10,000 taels of silver for the fortress, if you can't explain this clearly, then I can only deal with it impartially." ”

Guo said lightly: "Your Majesty, it's not that the grass people don't want to explain, it's just that the grass people think that Your Majesty and the Overseer have not done business, and the relationship between this, even if the grass people explain, I'm afraid that Your Majesty and the Overseer will be difficult to understand, so it's better to see is believing." ”

"Seeing is believing?"

Wanli looked at Guo Dan inexplicably.

Guo Dan nodded, and said: "Last night's canonization ceremony has ended, and the task of the grass people is also completed, so the grass people will order someone to let out the wind early this morning, saying that our Kou family tooth shop plans to raise funds for expansion, maybe we don't have to wait until tomorrow, there will be many businessmen with money to come to the door this afternoon, vying to cooperate with our tooth shop, definitely more money than here." ”

Wanli looked surprised when he heard this, and said, "Is this true? ”

Guo Dan said: "The grass people were summoned into the palace by His Majesty just after the order, but the grass people have absolute confidence, if Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send someone to Yaxing in the afternoon to have a look, and then the truth will naturally be revealed." ”

Wanli saw that Guo Dan was so confident, he couldn't help but believe a little, and at the same time his heart was also very hurt, I am a dignified emperor, for 20,000 taels, I think about fighting wits and courage with Xu Mengxi's old man every day, but this guy is just a small businessman, just put a word out, and people rushed to send him money.

I really hurt Longzun!

"I don't believe you have that ability." Wanli snorted, and said to Zhang Cheng: "Minister, you will go over and see it in person later, and I will allow you to ride out of the palace." ”

Zhang Cheng hurriedly said: "The minister obeys the order." ”

He thought to himself, it seems that His Majesty is still biased towards Guo Dan.

Although the emperor said so, he didn't let Zhang Whale go, in fact, this matter should have been handed over to Dongchang to investigate, it can be seen that Wanli is also very aware of what Dongchang usually does, he is preventing Zhang Whale from framing him, which can also be seen that Wanli does not want to punish Guo Dan in his heart.

Guo Dan suddenly said: "Prime minister, when you go later, can you not let others find out." ”

Zhang Cheng was stunned.

Wanli was curious: "Why is this?" ”

Guo Dan sighed and said, "The grass people are just afraid, those businessmen will mistakenly think that this matter is blessed by His Majesty's halo when they see the prime minister, which will cause more people to come and send money to strive for cooperation with the grass people." Everyone is a businessman in the capital, and this is not a look down, but the grass people are not a casual businessman, and if they choose this or not that, it will offend people. ”

Speaking of the back, his face was a gloomy mist.
