Chapter 1095: It's hard to be a man
Mo Yiqing was caught between the two sides, and he was indeed in a dilemma.
She cried and begged: "Husband, my father and uncles are just a thought, and I have no intention of rebellion, I hope that my husband will let my father and uncles live for the sake of Aya to follow and assist the prince, and for the sake of the concubine." ”
Wu Zhengmuran looked at Mo Yiqing and said: "If it's just silver, I can show favoritism, but their hands are stretched too long, the military workshop, the life and death of the officers and soldiers of my Northern Expeditionary Army, they dare to stretch out their hands?" ”
"The husband blamed right, and the concubine promised that there would be no next time. When Aya found out about this three days ago, she had already confined her father and uncles to the mansion and waited for her husband to leave. ”
Wu Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and said abruptly, "Mo Lao is really kind and scheming!" The timing is also just right, marry you into the palace, and you will confess to the king, so that the king will have to cast a rat trap...... Hehe, it's a good calculation, and this king has been calculated. ”
Mo Yiqing was in a hurry when he heard this, and raised his head and said: "Husband must not think like this, three days ago, after Aya learned about this, he wanted to take down his father and uncles to surrender to his husband...... It was the concubine who desperately blocked it. ”
"Why are you holding back?" Wu Zheng said coldly, "Are you afraid that this king will kill your father and your uncles in anger?" In your eyes, and in your Aya's eyes, this king is a person who crosses rivers and demolishes bridges, unloads mills and kills donkeys? ”
"Nope! No! It's just a concubine...... Afraid. Mo Yiqing was so anxious that he would come out crying.
Looking at this pear blossom with rain face, Wu Zheng's heart softened, and he sighed and said, "Get up and sleep well...... On the day of his return, the king of Daiben will bring you a message to send your father and uncle back to prison and return all the dirty silver...... Let's talk about the rest. ”
Although Wu Zheng didn't want to accompany him back to the door after hearing the meaning of the words, Wu Zheng was relieved after all, at least the lives of his father and uncles could be saved.
When Mo Yiqing heard this, he was overjoyed, moved his knees, hugged Wu Zheng's leg and said, "Thank you, husband, the concubine must tell ...... Aya what her husband said." ”
However, at this time, Song An's voice sounded outside the house, "Young master, can you sleep?" ”
Wu Zheng said in a deep voice: "Xiao Anzi, don't look at what day it is...... I'll talk about it tomorrow. ”
"Young master, there is an urgent report."
Wu Zhengqiang held his temper and said, "Then come in." ”
Song An came in with his head down and stopped at the second entrance, "Young master, it's inconvenient for me to enter again, can I ask you to come out for a while." ”
Wu Zheng glanced at Mo Yiqing and said, "It's okay...... If you have something, talk about it. ”
Song An hesitated for a moment and said, "I just received an urgent report from the military workshop, and an assassin infiltrated the Mo family's transport truck fleet, intending to assassinate Chen Shoujie, the supervisor of the military workshop, and his son. ”
Wu Zhenghuo got up, and Mo Yiqing's face changed greatly.
"How is the life and death of Chen Shoujie's father and son?" Wu Zheng's face was terrifyingly gloomy.
"Back to the young master's words, Chen Shoujie is fine, his son Chen Qicai was injured in the arm, but his life is worry-free."
"What about the murderer? Can there be a live mouth? ”
"There were five murderers, four of whom were killed on the spot, and only one was captured alive, but after being caught, he also committed suicide by taking poison."
Wu Zheng glared at Mo Yiqing fiercely and was silent for a long time.
Mo Yiqing sat down on the ground in a dejected manner, her heart was cold, she knew that it was useless to say anything, things had developed to this point, and she couldn't say anything anymore.
Song An waited for a while, and saw that there was no response inside, "There are a total of 100 people in the Mo family's convoy, all of whom have been detained on the spot, please show the young master, how to deal with it?" ”
Wu Zheng slowly withdrew Mo Yiqing's gaze, walked back and forth in the room for a few steps, and finally spoke: "Let it go." ”
"Young Master......?"
"Do as I say!"
"Yes." Song An quietly retreated.
Wu Zheng took a long breath, then looked down at Mo Yiqing and said, "Sleep in peace, tonight...... The king still has something to do. ”
After speaking, Wu Zheng turned around and left.
Mo Yiqing's wail came from behind him, "Husband, ......!" ”
……。
Inside the small gray building.
This time, Wu Zheng was drinking tea.
The boiling spring water rushed down, and the tips of the green buds slowly flipped in a pool of light green.
Wu Zheng looked at it very seriously, so serious that Song An felt uneasy.
"Young master, tonight is a good day for you...... It's almost dawn, and if the lords and adults find out that you're not there, I'm afraid it will be another mess. ”
Wu argued: "Shut up...... You are a baby who has not grown up, what do you know? Can you be in love with others on the one hand, and on the other hand, you are thinking about killing or keeping your father and uncle? ”
Song An coughed dryly and closed his mouth.
"What's wrong with you?"
"I haven't checked it all yet, and I'm waiting for several groups of people to summarize it, but there are indeed some problems in the accounts of the Financial Secretary."
"How did you check it, didn't alarm others, right?"
Song An knew who Wu Zheng was talking about, and replied: "Probably not, I transferred more than a dozen students from the business school to routinely supervise the accounts of the Financial Secretary in the name of Master Zhang. ”
Zhang Huangyan's attorney does have the authority to routinely supervise the accounts of the Financial Secretary.
This is also the only yamen under the General's Palace, except for Wu Zheng, that can check and balance the financial secretary.
Otherwise, the Financial Secretary's power will be too great.
Wu Zheng sighed "hmm" and nodded, "You have brains, and things are done well...... So what to find? ”
"After only half a day of investigation, I found that there were many sums of money, which entered the shops and workshops under the Mo family of Qianzhuang under different names, and in addition, there were several sums of money whose whereabouts were unknown, and the amount was very large...... Although the exact number has not yet been summed up, it is estimated that it should be more than one million taels. ”
Wu Zheng heard this, his expression did not move, his eyes were still staring at the tea cup, and the tips of the green tea buds that had slowly stopped rising and falling.
After a long time, Song An saw that Wu Zheng didn't mean to speak, so he had to ask, "Young Master, will Mo Lao get involved in this matter?" ”
"You are asking the accounts of the Financial Secretary?"
"Hmm."
"No, it won't."
"Why does the young master ...... Can you be so sure? ”
Wu Zheng finally raised his head and leaned back in his chair, "If he really participates, you shouldn't find anything." ”
Song An suddenly said, yes, if Mo Zhinian really participated, with his power and ability, how could it be that the dozen or so boys in the business school could easily verify it?
Besides, don't be obsessed with wanting silver, and you don't need to use such a method, you can do it more seamlessly, and the way will be more complicated.
For example, hoarding some scarce raw materials and materials, and then using the policy of the Financial Department to slightly regulate and control it, is a profitable business, even if it is known, except for Wu Zheng, no one else has the right to blame, because the ups and downs of commercial taxes and tariffs are the scope of the Financial Department's purview, as long as it is not excessive, even Wu Zheng cannot be held accountable too much.
Wu Zheng said leisurely: "Do you know what I'm most worried about? ”
Song An didn't answer, just shook his head.
"What I'm most worried about is that the Mo family doesn't want silver ......." Wu Zheng picked up the teacup and drank it all, "There is no need to continue to investigate the matter of the military workshop, and we will go all out to track down the silver that the financial secretary does not know whereabouts." ”
"Yes."
