Chapter 22: Evidence of Guilt
A person's understanding of relevant principles and knowledge is different from whether he can do well in practice. For some people, it is difficult to effectively transform theoretical knowledge into work ability; There are also some people, in the process of work, will be affected by personal emotions, emotional intelligence, etc., and do some things that they know should not do.
This is Zhao Xie's understanding of personnel in modern times.
In addition, in modern times, Zhao Xie has a more comprehensive understanding of ancient military and political aspects, and has also studied the employment methods of major emperors.
For talents, try not to promote too high all at once, and try to reserve room for promotion.
"Thank you, my king!"
Qian Yun was grateful, knelt down respectfully, and kowtowed to King Zhao.

Gong Zhi official office, Cao Wan worked on the spot, and questioned the corresponding personnel separately.
The steward was brought to Cao Wan.
Cao Wan looked at the manager with a stern gaze, which made the manager feel cold in his heart.
"Where's the ledger?"
"Lord Sikou, haven't you already seen the ledger?"
"Less garlic in front of this official" Cao Wan slapped the desk and said heavily: "What about the real ledger?" ”
If you just want to verify Gong Zhi's crimes, you don't have to ask for account books. Gong Zhi dared to deduct military salaries, it was impossible for one person to swallow all the military salaries he coveted, and Cao Wan had to find out the details of the military salaries. In particular, it is necessary to find out whether it is related to Chen Yu.
The chief manager quibbled: "My lord, all the accounts are written in order!" ”
His eyes flickered when he told lies, how could he hide Cao Wan's eyes.
"You don't cry when you don't see the coffin. Come! Punishment awaits! ”
Immediately, two officials took down the chief administrator, and someone else took the torture equipment and used it on the spot.
The governor did not have strong willpower, and in the face of the torture that made him extremely painful, he could not bear it at all, and it was not long before he confessed, and the official searched out the real account book on the spot.
Cao Wan checked the account book in detail, and now the truth was revealed. In the past two years, General Zhao has paid his military salary, which is only equivalent to seventy or eight percent of the military salary that should be paid. Gong Zhi accounted for a large part of the military salary, and the main book, account office, and general manager also participated in the partition.
However, there is no direct connection with Chen Yu.
Cao Wan immediately took down the main book, the account room, and the chief manager, and escorted them back to the prison of the Sikou Bureau.
The evidence is conclusive, and Gong Zhi can be arrested.
However, now that Gong Zhi has not returned, Cao Wan ordered someone to find his whereabouts.
——————
Cheng Anjun's mansion, Lu Tian and Gong Zhi came out of the gate.
A dozen soldiers each followed.
The two were in a very bad mood and walked to a corner to discuss.
"Humph! At a critical juncture, the general abandoned us! ”
"He doesn't care if we live or die! We're done! ”
It turned out that after the two were called by Chen Yu, Chen Yu told them that they could not have anything to do with each other except that they were promoted by Chen Yu. Even if they are found guilty, at most they will kill the two and raid their homes, and their families will have no worries about their lives, and Chen Yu will help their families again. If they dare to confess, their whole family will die.
"This is all done by the hateful Li Zuoche. If I can't live, he won't want to live. Lu Tian said viciously.
"And Cao Wan, a damn cool official, maybe they can really find out." Gong Zhi's heart was filled with fear.
The two were about to set off for their own head, when Gong Zhi's subordinates hurried over.
"General, it's not good!"
The two returned to the corner to make sure that their words could not be heard by others, and the subordinate said: "Cao Wan has arrested the chief manager, the master bookkeeper, and the account room, and seized the official office and mansion. ”
Both of them were shocked, this Cao Wan moved really fast.
Gong Zhi suddenly panicked, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
Lu Tian said: "Even if Cao Wan has the support of King Zhao, if there is no real evidence, he will not dare to do so." ”
At this moment, I suddenly panicked even more.
Lu Tian said: "Brother Gong, if you don't want to die, there are two choices. Either lead his subordinates to rebel and fight to the death; Either you can flee immediately, Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, or even Qi Guo, you can go to take refuge. ”
His head is more flexible than Gong Zhi's, and he is more ruthless.
Now that the army has returned to the capital, Gong Zhi can not have many troops under his control, and if you really want to rebel, your subordinates may not follow you, which is tantamount to sending you to death, he doesn't have the courage at all.
There is only one option to save his life, which is to leave the city immediately and flee, where can he still take care of his family.
Lu Tian took his entourage back to the mansion first.
Gong Zhi said to the soldiers: "General Ben can go back alone, you all go back!" ”
After the soldiers left, Gong Zhi rode directly to the west gate, and galloped away after leaving the city.

Lieutenant Office, Zhao Xie and Qian Yun talked for a long time, it was getting dark, and the officials went home from work one after another.
Zhao Xie is also going back.
Qian Yun's family is in Xiangguo, but he didn't go home, thanks to King Zhao's appreciation, he has to work overtime to do a good job.
It is now the end of October, which is the equivalent of November in the modern new calendar. When Zhao Xie came out at noon, the sky was still clear, and when it came to Shen, the weather turned cloudy, and the north wind was blowing at this time.
Zhao Xie walked out of the house, the north wind was blowing in his face, he felt a burst of coolness, and after coming out of the gate of the official office, he quickly got into the carriage.
The carriage body resisted the cold wind, and it was much more comfortable to sit here than to ride a horse, as long as it was not necessary, Zhao Xie tried not to ride a horse without stirrups.
At the gate of the palace, Cao Wan came here and asked to see King Zhao.
After the guards went in and passed the word, it was the eunuch Ling Li who came out.
"Cao Sikou, the king has gone to the lieutenant's office, and he hasn't come back yet! It's only been half a day since the dynasty was dispersed, and you are going to meet the king, could it be that there is progress in the case? ”
Although Li Zhen is a eunuch, his voice is full of anger.
Cao Wan replied: "If there is no progress, how dare you come to disturb the king." I have found out the evidence of Gong Zhi's crime, but unfortunately it was a step too late, and Gong Zhi had already fled from the West Gate first. ”
He sighed.
When the real ledger was found, Cao Wan ordered someone to find Gong Zhi, until the evening finally got the news.
Li Yan deeply regretted this.

In the palace, dinner has been prepared in the dining room.
At this time, Zhao Qian was standing at the door of the study, wearing a wool cloak, looking ahead.
Next to her was a palace maid holding a tiger fur cloak in her hand.
In front is the main hall of the upper dynasty, named "Dezheng Palace", after entering from the gate of the palace, passing through a small square is the Dezheng Palace, entering from the side of the Dezheng Palace, it is this study. To the left of the study is the garden, and from the right you enter, you will find the harem.
Zhao Qian was thinking that after eating together at noon, King Zhao hurried out of the palace, and he didn't have any extra clothes to bring, and he would definitely feel cold now.
Zhao Qian had learned about the morning court meeting from the inner servant.
Zhao Qian since she was sensible, she hoped that her future husband would be a productive person, when she was married to King Zhao, Zhao Qian felt honored to be able to marry the king, but gradually found that King Zhao was a weak person, and he had a trace of disappointment.
From half a month ago to now, King Zhao has undergone earth-shaking changes and has become so wise and martial, she is happy to have such a husband.
Yesterday, when Zhao Qian heard that her husband wanted to use the people of the hundred families, she had the idea of making a suggestion, but she couldn't help but say it at that time. At the court meeting today, the husband made up his mind, and Zhao Qian decided to say what she wanted to say yesterday.
The north wind blew on her body, blowing the cloak and blowing the flowing hair.
A palace maid hurried over.
"Queen, dinner is ready, do you want to eat?"
"Heat it up first, and then eat when the king returns!"
