Chapter 197: The Book of the Household Department

"The new Hubu Shangshu is no longer used by the general, in order to avoid trouble, the general now orders you to clean up all the clues about the general's corruption, the general knows that you are the old man of the household, these things will not be difficult for you." Sun Dongliang commanded.

When Lord Qi heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "General Sun, rest assured, this matter must be done clearly." "Such a good opportunity to make a fool of myself, Lord Qi doesn't want to miss it. However, Lord Qi now looks so imperative that he hasn't seen Xu Wei yet.

Seeing Lord Qi's promise, Sun Dongliang was very satisfied. "If you let it go, there will be a generous gift when it is done."

These people used by Sun Dongliang are nothing more than for money or power, Sun Dongliang can understand this, so he takes these people in his hands.

After receiving the assurance, Lord Qi also retreated satisfied, and returned to the household department to start his action.

knew that Wei Chiyan wanted to defeat Xu Wei, who wanted to bring down Sun Dongliang, and Xu Wei himself was an upright person, so he couldn't see that the household department in charge of him was hiding dirt and dirt, so the first thing he did when he took office was to thoroughly investigate Sun Dongliang's bad deeds for so many years.

So I found out all the files and account books about Sun Dongliang in the household department and wanted to check them. Xu Wei didn't hide it at all when he did these things, but did it blatantly, so he was not afraid of someone telling Sun Dongliang that after all, he was a person with the backing of King Qin.

However, in the process of checking, Xu Wei found that there were a lot of account books that recorded Sun Dongliang, and many of the account books were not in the right time, and they were all disconnected from the middle.

"Which of you took the account book of this household, thank you and hand it over, don't let me search it one by one." Xu Wei immediately asked in the household department.

The ministers sitting underground were all stunned, not knowing what Xu Wei was referring to, only the nervous expression on Lord Qi's face bought him, and Xu Wei had all this in his view, but Xu Wei did not immediately ask Lord Qi's words, but kept a hand.

If you find out Lord Qi now, you may not find evidence that he hid Sun Dongliang's account books, but instead startle the snake, Xu Wei wants to find a way to wipe out Lord Qi and those account books.

Xu Wei knew that Lord Qi had taken the account books, and he would definitely hand them over to Sun Dongliang at night, so Xu Wei took his subordinates and personally guarded the gate of the Qi Mansion.

Sure enough, as Xu Wei expected, in the middle of the night, Lord Qi really sneaked out of the door, still holding a package in his hand.

Xu Wei immediately made a decision, and with a wave of his hand, his subordinates went up to suppress Master Qi.

"Who are you? I don't let go of this yet. Lord Qi, who was already weak-hearted, was frightened by the few people who suddenly rushed out.

"Where are you going if you don't sleep in the middle of the night, Lord Qi? Xu Wei slowly walked out of the shadows.

Seeing that it was Xu Wei, Lord Qi was even more frightened, and said tremblingly: "Xia Guan sleeps, I can't sleep, so get up and take a walk." “

"Really? What is in the hand of Lord Qi? "Xu Wei laughs at Lord Qi's reason for making up too clumsy, who would go out of the house in the middle of the night? However, if there is no physical evidence in the hands of Master Qi, it is really difficult to convict him.

Seeing Xu Wei staring at the things in his hand, Lord Qi subconsciously hugged and said: "It's nothing, it's all useless calligraphy and paintings, I want to lose it, I lose it, I lose it......"

"Lord Qi is really good, he can't help but take a walk at night, and he also took the opportunity to lose calligraphy and painting. It just so happens that I want to study calligraphy and painting recently, so it's better for Master Qi to give me these, it's a pity to lose it. "Xu Wei deliberately played with Master Qi.

Hearing Xu Wei say this, Lord Qi was so frightened that his soul was gone, how dare he give the things in his hand to Xu Wei, so he prevaricated a few words and turned around and wanted to run, but he didn't take two steps, and was caught back by Xu Wei's men.

"Give me what you have." This time, Xu Wei became serious and no longer talked to Lord Qi.

But Lord Qi still refused to take the initiative to hand over the package in his hand, and had no choice but to order his subordinates to take the thing down.

Xu Wei took the package that his subordinates snatched and opened it, and as he expected, it was the important pages that he was missing when he checked Sun Dongliang's accounts in the household department, but Master Qi stole them out from time to time, and now he wants to send them to Sun Dongliang.

"This is the calligraphy and painting that Lord Qi said he wanted to lose? Lord Qi is afraid that he is mistaken. Xu Wei looked at Lord Qi, who was already a little unstable at this time.

Lord Qi himself knew in his heart that those who helped the corrupt were guilty of the same crime as the corrupt people, and they were going to lose their heads, and now that his deeds were exposed, Lord Qi was very afraid, so he even knelt on the ground and begged Xu Wei for mercy.

"Lord Xu, the lower official lost his mind for a while, and he was coerced by General Sun to make the next mistake, and I ask Lord Xu to give the lower official a chance."

Xu Wei originally wanted to directly escort Lord Qi away so that he would not tell Sun Dongliang that he knew about him letting Lord Qi steal and destroy the evidence, and then deal with Lord Qi when the matter was over, but Xu Wei thought about it, this might startle the snake, and if Sun Dongliang knew that he was already investigating him, he would definitely make another move. So Xu Wei thought of a way to get the best of both worlds.

"This official is willing to give you a chance to make up for your mistakes, but it's up to you whether you can grasp it."

"Lord Xu, please say, the lower officials are willing to make up for it." Lord Qi was afraid of losing his head, and of course he was willing to seize this opportunity.

Seeing that Lord Qi was still sincere, Xu Wei said: "If you go and tell Sun Dongliang that this evidence has been destroyed by you, instead of letting Lord Ben take it, even if you make up for it." ”

Xu Wei thought in his heart that in this way, Sun Dongliang would relax his vigilance against corruption, and Wei Ruyan would go about the next thing.

"Okay, Xiaguan promises, Xiaguan will go and tell General Sun tomorrow that the evidence has been destroyed by me." Lord Qi is a person who forgets his righteousness for the sake of profit, and now his life is of course more important than the money given by Sun Dongliang, so of course he agreed.

Xu Wei nodded with satisfaction, and let Lord Qi in, because he was not at ease, he sent his subordinates to watch secretly, for fear that Lord Qi would make some moves in secret, and it would be a big deal if he betrayed himself at that time.

However, Xu Wei was too worried, Master Qi, a timid person like a mouse, would not gamble with his life, and the next day he obediently went to Sun Dongliang to tell Sun Dongliang that he had destroyed the evidence that was unfavorable to Sun Dongliang.

"Didn't General Ben ask you to bring that evidence to General Ben?" Sun Dongliang is afraid of accidents, so he is careful everywhere, and he will not feel at ease if he does not see those evidences with his own eyes.

Before Lord Qi came, he had thought about how to deal with Sun Dongliang's problem, so he replied calmly: "Xia Guan took these accounts and hid them in the household department, thinking that he would come back to the general when he went home at night, who would think that if the household department lost something that day, everyone would be checked, and Xia Guan was worried that those accounts would be discovered, so he found a remote courtyard and burned those accounts, and the general was relieved that those accounts were now ashes." ”

When Sun Dongliang heard this, he thought that this Lord Qi was still a mechanism, so he didn't care so much.

"Let's go get the reward." Sun Dongliang ordered Guan Xing to take Master Qi to receive the reward.

Lord Qi was naturally very happy when he saw that he didn't have to lose his head first, and secondly, he still had money to take, so he followed Guan Xing to get the silver taels.

Sun Dongliang has made a lot of money over the years, and it is natural to give more to send someone like Lord Qi who knows his secrets.

With the account book snatched from Lord Qi, Xu Wei came to the Qin Palace.

"See His Royal Highness King Qin." Xu Wei saw Xiao Shujun for the first time.

"Don't be polite, I often hear Mr. Wei mention you." Xiao Shujun responded that from Wei Chiyan's mouth, Xu Wei was a talented, honest and resolute person, so Xiao Shujun also had a good impression of Xu Wei.

"This is evidence of Sun Dongliang's corruption that Lord Qi helped me find, and it saved me a lot of things." Xu Wei handed over the account books to Wei Ruyan.

"Lord Qi?" Xiao Shujun seems to have the impression that this Lord Qi seems to be Sun Dongliang's person.

Xu Wei explained the ins and outs to everyone.

"It turns out that Sun Dongliang guessed that we had to check the accounts." Qin Kexin caught the information in Xu Wei's words.

Wei Ruyan didn't have time to think about anything else, so he quickly opened those account books and looked through them, all of which were evidence of Sun Dongliang's wanton spending in the household department.

"Even holding a family banquet has to spend hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in the household department, this is not corruption, what is even more infuriating is that so many people in the household department have turned a blind eye to this matter!" Wei Chiyan said resentfully.

Hearing what Wei Chiyan said, everyone became curious, and they took the account book over to read it, and everyone who finished reading it couldn't help but sigh that Sun Dongliang had embezzled a huge amount.

"With such a large amount, the crime of embezzlement alone is enough to cause Sun Dongliang to be convicted of death, not to mention privately casting weapons and secretly raising soldiers." Qin Kexin sighed with emotion, thinking that there were such big moths in the imperial court, how could it be good. It's just that the emperor's most trusted person is still this moth, otherwise they wouldn't have the courage and strength to do so many bad things.

Yu Chiyan also felt the same, seeing that his great revenge was about to be avenged, the light in Yu Chiyan's eyes could not be dispersed for a long time.

"So what are we going to do next?" Xiao Shuwei asked on the side, now at this critical time, only Xiao Shujun's thinking may be the clearest.

"The first thing to do now is that everyone must not startle the snake, and must behave as if nothing happened in front of outsiders." Xiao Shujun began to deploy.

Everyone nodded, and they were all willing to obey Xiao Shujun's arrangement.

Xiao Shujun continued: "Tomorrow morning, this king will take these evidence of Sun Dongliang's corruption to the early dynasty, and immediately expose Sun Dongliang's ugly face in front of the emperor and ministers. Anyway, it's up to the king what to do next. ”

Of course, everyone believes in King Qin's ability, and they all believe that Xiao Shujun can make everyone's work hard for so long have a beautiful ending. Especially Wei Chiyan, he has been waiting for this moment for more than ten years, he is willing to believe you Xiao Shujun, and Xiao Shujun will not let him down.
