Chapter 81: In the palace, 100,000 gold was stolen?
To be honest, the palace is large, the scenery is beautiful, and the architecture is quaint and majestic and dignified.
Li Chengfeng saw that on the edge of a lake, there was a group of ministers chatting around there.
So Li Chengfeng led the big black dog forward.
"Erbai, let's go, let's go and see, where those ministers are playing!"
"Wow!"
The big black dog was running happily in front.
Under a huge willow tree, Wei Zheng saw Li Chengfeng leading a big black dog? He felt a pang in his heart.
No, when did the Eighth Prince get a dog?
And this dog, how can it become more and more familiar the more you look at it?
Isn't this the dog that bit the emperor's ass the night before yesterday?
When Wei Zheng saw it, he immediately panicked, and he simply wanted to leave this place.
However, Li Chengfeng said: "Zheng Guogong, what are you running?" Run when you see me coming? Is there a ghost in your heart? ”
"Uh, this, no, the eighth prince, the old minister suddenly remembered that there were some trivial matters to deal with at home, so he wanted to go home!"
"Wow!"
The big black dog barked twice, and Wei Zheng was suddenly startled.
"By the way, Zheng Guogong, where are they doing?"
Li Chengfeng looked at the group of ministers on the left.
Wei Zheng smiled and said, "Isn't this discussing national affairs?" ”
"Discussing national affairs? What's that? ”
"This, Eighth Prince, is really not hidden! Recently, there have been corrupt ministers in the court! The emperor sowed 100,000 gold of relief gold, but it disappeared? ”
"What? How can there be such a thing? Let's go, take me over and see! ”
"This, okay Eighth Prince!"
Although Wei Zheng had lingering feelings about the big black dog beside Li Chengfeng.
But after thinking about it, it was a national event, and if the Eighth Prince could solve this difficult matter, it would be a good thing for the country!
And the emperor will not be angry because of it.
If they fail to find out the corrupt official, in the end, the emperor will be angry and suffer from the guilt, it will be them, the ministers.
100,000 gold gone?
How could such a thing happen in the palace?
……
As soon as Li Chengfeng walked to the side of those ministers, he heard the discussion of those ministers.
"Alas, what kind of corrupt official stole 100,000 gold?"
"That's ten big boxes, can't you steal them overnight and disappear?"
"Therefore, we have to think about this matter in the long run, and it can't reach the ears of the emperor, otherwise the emperor will blame it, and the old man can't afford it, it's a crime of killing his head!"
The person who spoke was none other than Fang Xuanling.
On that day, Li Shimin took out 100,000 gold from the treasury and handed it over to Fang Xuanling to handle the 'South-to-North Water Diversion'.
Fang Xuanling has been putting this money in his own house.
Then he and Du Ruhui discussed the matter of 'South-to-North Water Diversion' in the long run.
The state money has already been issued, and with the money, then all that remains is to levy labor.
But just last night, Fang Xuanling went home and opened those boxes to take a look.
All the gold in the chest turned to stone?
Not a penny left?
100,000 taels of gold missing?
At that time, Fang Xuanling was in the mood to die.
This is the budget money sent by the emperor to relieve the victims and deal with the 'South-to-North Water Diversion' project.
And the person who manages this money is Fang Xuanling.
But at this moment, all this money has been stolen?
If the emperor learns about this and becomes angry, Fang Xuanling will definitely not be able to protect his head.
Fang Xuanling thought that thieves would not come to the palace.
But this is exactly the opposite of his thoughts, the thief seems to have known that Fang Xuanling put the money in his backyard.
Waiting for Fang Xuanling to go south to Chang'an City to inspect the people's situation.
That thief directly made a move to exchange the tanuki for the prince, and actually turned the gold into stone directly, and stole all the 100,000 gold?
"Alas, Lai Guogong, you must help me! If you can't find out the thief, I'm afraid that the old minister will die this time, and his head will fall to the ground! ”
Fang Xuanling's face was very anxious.
Du Ruhui sighed heavily, and the minister on the side also sighed and shook his head, his face very regretful.
After all, none of them want to see such a thing happen!
"Alas, it's better to take advantage of the fact that the emperor doesn't know about the theft of 100,000 gold, let's make up some money and give it to Liang Guogong to help the victims!"
Du Ruhui sighed.
Because of the 'South-to-North Water Diversion' project, he also has a part.
100,000 gold disappeared, the emperor blamed it, and Du Ruhui also had to be punished.
On the side, Hou Junji sighed and said: "How can the old minister have so much money, the old minister can give up to 2,000 gold, why do your money add up, it is only more than 10,000 gold, where can I make up 100,000 gold?" ”
"I know one person can come up with that much money! However, he will definitely tell the emperor about this! ”
"Who?"
"Zhao Guogong Sun Wuji! Zhao Guogong's sister is the queen, and Zhao Guogong's three generations are all important ministers of the Tang Dynasty, so the emperor's reward for his family has already exceeded 100,000 gold! But Zhao Guogong is upright, if this matter reaches Zhao Guogong's ears, I'm afraid he will definitely tell the emperor! After all, if we do this, it is already considered a crime of deception! ”
"Well, but what's the solution?"
Fang Xuanling sighed heavily again.
Immediately afterwards, Li Chengfeng walked over with a big dog, and the old man Wei Zheng was still following behind Li Chengfeng.
Li Chengfeng smiled, looked at those ministers, and said, "Yo, everyone is here!" I've heard what you're saying! ”
"Ding, the surprise from Fang Xuanling, naughty value +20!"
"Ding, fear from Du Ruhui, naughty value +22!"
"Ding, the shock from Hou Junji, naughty value +20!"
When Hou Junji saw Li Chengfeng coming?
He immediately stepped forward and smiled gently: "Yo, why are you here, Eighth Prince?" ”
"Why can't I come? I saw so many of you ministers, gathered here to watch the scenery, I thought you were reciting poetry, I don't want to, I actually are discussing in partnership, if the term expires my father? Hmph, the crime of bullying the king is the crime of killing the head, you are really bold! ”
After Li Chengfeng finished speaking, the ministers were taken aback.
Fang Xuanling hurriedly knelt down and said to Li Chengfeng: "Eighth prince, the old minister really has no choice!" ”
"If the minister doesn't do this, I'm afraid the minister will really lose his head!"
"Yes, Eighth Prince, all the 100,000 gold that the emperor distributed to Liang Guogong for relief to the victims was stolen? If this matter reaches the ears of the emperor, it will definitely make the emperor angry! ”
Du Ruhui was also interceding for Fang Xuanling.
But Li Chengfeng shook his head helplessly and said, "But do you think that if you do this, you can hide from my father?" You underestimate my father too much, don't you? ”
