Chapter 186: Corruption

As soon as Yan Qingyun said this, Sun Dongliang frowned, thinking that this Yan Qingyun was not upright, no matter how he spoke, he seemed to be talking to Xiao Shujun.

I thought that there must be something wrong with Yan Qingyun, and he must keep an eye on it. After all, framing Xiao Shujun for corruption, Sun Dongliang also used the upright Yan Qingyun to take advantage of it, if Yan Qingyun made a mistake in this step, it would not be good.

"According to the minister, His Royal Highness the King of Qin did not necessarily use the embezzled money elsewhere, not necessarily for the construction of the Qin Palace......" Sun Dongliang did not relent, he wanted to take this opportunity to arouse the emperor's suspicion of Xiao Shujun.

"Then General Sun said, where did the king use the embezzled money?" Xiao Shujun didn't want to argue about these non-existent things, but Sun Dongliang was really too deceitful.

"Okay, since there is no conclusive evidence for this matter, let's wait until there is evidence, and then talk about it, scatter the dynasty!" In front of everyone's eyes, Yan Qingyun, the head of the household, said that the matter was still uncertain, and it was impossible for the emperor to directly convict Xiao Shujun, or to express his suspicions like Sun Dongliang, no matter what, he was also the king of a country.

After the emperor finished speaking, he left first, and the ministers saluted and dispersed as birds and beasts.

Xiao Shuwei saw Sun Dongliang looking at himself and Xiao Shujun with a sneer, and stepped forward unconvinced: "General Sun had better be more restrained!" ”

"What does King Ning mean?" Sun Dongliang began to pretend to be confused.

Xiao Shujun saw that Xiao Shuwei went to Sun Dongliang for trouble, so he couldn't rest assured and followed.

When Sun Dongliang saw Xiao Shujun coming, he deliberately raised his voice and said: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor is suspicious of King Qin, what is the matter with General Guan Ben!" ”

blatantly provoked Xiao Shujun.

Of course, Xiao Shujun couldn't let Sun Dongliang speak quickly, and then said: "General Sun is so anxious to use the emperor's suspicion to deal with this king and make the crime of corruption against this king, is General Sun the sinner of that big corruption case?" Will this be in a hurry to find a scapegoat? ”

No matter how thick-skinned Sun Dongliang is, some people will still be uncomfortable when they tell the truth of their corruption in a speculative tone. Besides, looking at Xiao Shujun's eyes, he really suspected that the big corruption case was committed by himself.

Sun Dongliang thought that he must speed up the implementation of Xiao Shujun's charges, so that he and his father would be completely safe.

"King Qin doesn't have to be quick to talk to General Ben, let's talk with evidence." Sun Dongliang wanted to end this unfavorable dialogue as soon as possible.

"Since General Sun also knows that everything must be evidenced, then before the evidence is insufficient, don't slander the second brother of this king." Xiao Shuwei's words embarrassed Sun Dongliang.

Sun Dongliang saw that he couldn't talk about the two brothers, so he left in a huff, thinking that he would definitely make Xiao Shujun unable to turn over this time, so that not only would his and his father's corruption crimes not be discovered, but also his and his father's biggest enemies in the court would no longer exist.

Xiao Shujun and Xiao Shuwei were also ready to leave, who wanted to be stopped by Yan Qingyun.

"His Royal Highness King Qin, what happened to the court this morning really has nothing to do with the lower officials." Yan Qingyun hurriedly explained.

"This king knows, Lord Yan doesn't have to explain, it's better to investigate the case if you have this spare time." Xiao Shujun didn't want to say anything more to Yan Qingyun.

Yan Qingyun didn't know if what Xiao Shujun said was true or false, and was afraid that Xiao Shujun would continue to misunderstand him, so he hurriedly explained: "That Lord Qi really doesn't know what's going on, just now the lower official went to question him, he actually said that he wasn't sure if King Qin was corrupt, and he mentioned this matter in the court just for a while, and the lower official really didn't know what to do......" Yan Qingyun looked helpless.

"It's all said that Lord Yan doesn't need to explain, this king is tired, so he will go back to the house first." After that, Xiao Shujun left without looking back.

"It's really arrogant...... "Yan Qingyun grumbled on his tongue.

But after complaining, Yan Qingyun immediately came back to his senses, he really had to check it well, otherwise Xiao Shujun would really be implicated, even if it was really Xiao Shujun's doing, Yan Qingyun would find a way to keep Xiao Shujun, he had never encountered such a difficult case since he took office as the head of the household department, it was really enough for Yan Qingyun to have a headache.

"Second brother really believes that it's not that Lord Yan who is behind the troublemaker?" Xiao Shuwei was a little suspicious of Yan Qingyun, and on the way back, she couldn't understand why Xiao Shujun trusted Yan Qingyun so much just now.

Xiao Shujun nodded first, and then said: "This matter is obviously Sun Dongliang targeting us, and it has nothing to do with Yan Qingyun." Xiao Shujun saw it thoroughly.

"Why is it Sun Dongliang again?" Xiao Shuwei has had enough of Sun Dongliang having been making trouble with them.

"Maybe he was responsible for that big corruption case, and now he wants to blame me." Xiao Shujun said what he thought.

"What? But if he really did it, where would he spend all that money? Xiao Shuwei was a little confused.

"I don't know, if you really squander that money, it's a big deal, if you use it to secretly raise soldiers and forge weapons." Xiao Shujun analyzed.

When Xiao Shuwei heard this, she was shocked, such a large amount of money is enough to train and equip a group of well-equipped soldiers, and this is really a fatal detail on the day of the accident.

"So we have to quickly find out whether Sun Dongliang is the mastermind behind the corruption case as we said. And we have to guard against this, don't do it to us! Xiao Shuwei added.

These words were exactly what Xiao Shujun was thinking, and Xiao Shujun nodded in response.

Before, Xiao Shujun thought that it would be good to leave this matter to Yan Qingyun, after all, he was very experienced in handling this kind of corruption case. But now it seems that he has to intervene. Although the emperor is sorry for Xiao Shujun, Xiao Shujun can't ignore the safety of the emperor and the people of the world.

Although the emperor is mediocre for all to see, if someone like Sun Dongliang is allowed to take the throne, then the world will really be miserable.

For the sake of the people of Limin, Xiao Shujun still can't get out this time.

Back at the Qin Palace, Xiao Shujun first summoned Gu Liang in the study.

"This king now gives you a difficult task, to find out if Sun Dongliang has used money abnormally in any way. However, you must be careful not to be discovered, otherwise it is easy to be grabbed by someone and bite back. ”

"Your Highness, don't worry, the little ones will do it." Gu Liang's favorite thing is this kind of challenging task, and his blood is already boiling just by hearing it.

Similarly, Xiao Shujun believes in Gu Liang's ability to do things, and he also likes to hand over challenging things to Gu Liang to do.

As soon as Gu Liang left, Xiao Shujun was about to read the book, but heard a knock on the door.

"Enter." Xiao Shujun thought that it was the maid maid who brought him refreshments, so he didn't look up.

But as soon as the person came in, Xiao Shujun sensed that it was Qin Kexin with his spare eyes, and quickly raised his head to greet him with a smile, his eyes full of doting, "Why is the princess here." ”

"I heard that His Royal Highness entered the study to discuss matters in the morning, and I thought that His Highness would not have time to drink a sip of water, so I came to send some tea and pastries to His Highness." Qin Kexin put the tea and pastries on the table as she spoke, and this time Ruoxue was left outside by Qin Kexin and brought in by herself.

Hearing Qin Kexin say this, Xiao Shujun really felt very thirsty, picked up the teacup that Qin Kexin brought in and drank it all, and then said, "Isn't the princess thinking about this king?" Xiao Shujun never forgot to tease Qin Kexin.

"Your Highness, don't make trouble!" Qin Kexin said shyly.

Xiao Shujun likes to see Qin Kexin like this, Qin Kexin often wears a pink dress when she enters the Qin Palace, every time she blushes with shame, the pink halo on her face is reflected with the moisture long skirt, Xiao Shujun looks straight every time.

"I heard the conversation between His Highness and Gu Liang just now." Qin Kexin put away her shyness and said with a straight face.

Xiao Shujun's expression was not as relaxed as just now, and this time he couldn't hide it from Qin Kexin.

Qin Kexin knew that Xiao Shujun didn't want to worry about herself, but Qin Kexin just wanted to help Xiao Shujun, so she said: "Your Highness doesn't have to worry, I can help Your Highness but feel more at ease, Your Highness will definitely be more worried if you hide everything from me." ”

When Xiao Shujun heard this, he had no choice but to compromise, "Then you promise this king, you can't act impulsively without the permission of this king in the future, so as not to hurt yourself, and discuss everything with this king." ”

"I know, Your Highness has said the same thing many times. I'm going to discuss it with Your Highness this time. Qin Kexin's attitude softened.

"Oh? So what does the princess want to discuss with this king? When Xiao Shujun said this, he was extremely spoiled in both tone and expression, and if Yu'er saw it, he would laugh again, causing Qin Kexin to blush.

However, at this time, Qin Kexin always felt that Xiao Shujun didn't believe that he could say anything, but Qin Kexin thought, it stands to reason that after all the previous things, Xiao Shujun should have realized his talent, how could this be......

No matter! Qin Kexin thought to herself, it would be good to say what she thought, so she said: "Just now I heard that His Royal Highness asked Gu Liang to investigate what is strange about General Sun's money, so I thought of the Guozhang Mansion. ”

"The Governor's Mansion?" When Xiao Shujun heard it, he also became colorful.

"Yes, General Sun is the son of the Guozhang, so is the abnormal place of the Guozhang Mansion the abnormal place of General Sun?" Qin Kexin continued to analyze.

Xiao Shujun nodded, thinking that what Qin Kexin said made sense, and motioned for her to continue.

"I don't know if Your Highness still remembers the bowing conference organized by Sun Wan'er before? That was the first time I had entered the Imperial Palace, and His Highness also went to participate. ”

"Is it the bow meeting when the princess was locked up by Sun Wan'er?" At the mention of that time, Xiao Shujun could only think of Qin Kexin being locked up by Sun Wan'er.

Qin Kexin was speechless, thinking that he had mentioned such an embarrassing thing at this time, and it was not all because of Xiao Shujun that he was locked up.

However, Qin Kexin didn't want to waste time on this topic, so he resisted his urge to give Xiao Shujun a punch and continued: "No, that's right, that's it!" ”

Xiao Shujun just wanted to laugh when he saw Qin Kexin like this, but in order not to affect Qin Kexin's next analysis, Xiao Shujun couldn't help it......

"That was the first time I went to the Guozhang Mansion, and I found that the Guozhang Mansion was so magnificent and luxurious, and even a bow field was a small and half the size of the Qin Wang's Mansion, didn't Your Highness think it was strange?" Qin Kexin recalled the surprise he felt when he first went to the Guozhang Mansion.
