When Chen Hanshi woke up, he only felt that the world was spinning, and he had a headache, and he called a few Leyou, only to remember that he was poured wine by Zhou Yulan yesterday, and he drank too much unconsciously, and then he didn't know what to do, so he passed out directly.
Chen Hanshi secretly scolded himself in his heart, in the business field for so many years, this has never happened in this situation, why is he drunk?
"Fun!"
Chen Hanshi screamed a few more times, and Le You hurried over, holding a bowl of sobering tea: "Master drink some first, otherwise you will have a headache all day." ”
"What happened yesterday?"
"Later, the master drank too much, and the Xiangye left, but you promised to leave Miss Zhao behind." Leyou is truthful.
"I—I promised?"
"You promised." Leyou nodded, "I also took Xiangye's hand and said that I must take good care of Miss Zhao." ”
Chen Hanshi patted himself: "My head, ouch, I left a fine work in my own house..."
"The fine work left by the master may not have any effect on you, master."
"Leyou, it's not impossible to give him the account book for the past two years, but the loopholes of corruption are too big, once it is exposed, Your Majesty will definitely order a thorough investigation, a little bit of investigation, you have to find out the case more than ten years ago, you know, the case more than ten years ago, it can't be mentioned, how many heads can I get off?" Chen Hanshi sighed, "I have thought of many possibilities, Han Fu sent someone to threaten me, or borrowed a knife to kill people, or the national teacher felt that I knew too much and wanted to do something to me, but I never expected that the first person to come to me turned out to be Zhou Yulan." ”
"Master, this hurdle must be passed. I estimate that Xiang Ye will report to the national teacher about the fake accounts made by Kong Youhuan, the household servant, and wait for the national teacher to come to us to get the account book, do you give it or not? ”
"Kong Youhuan, he's not a bad guy, he's a villain, he's a villain in the eyes of money, he just wants money, and the national teacher generally won't ask about things that don't have anything to do with the party. Although there is Han Fu behind Kong Youhuan now, he only started to launder money for Han Fu two years ago, and I didn't report this matter to the national teacher, now Han Fu's actions are getting bigger and bigger, I think that as soon as this matter comes out, the national teacher will definitely investigate it thoroughly until Han Fu is found. Chen Hanshi looked into the distance, "It's just that there are countless ministers involved in Han Fu's line, and everyone is in danger, what real things can be found?" ”
Leyou waited for Chen Hanshi to get dressed, and Chen Hanshi asked, "Where did Zhou Yulan know about Kong Youlian?" ”
"I don't know who told him, I'm also very strange, according to a person like Kong Youhuan, he must be cautious in doing things, how could he let Xiangye catch this tail?" Fun Road.
"Zhou Yulan does have some ways, I have to be careful when talking to him in the future, and you have to remind me that I can't get drunk in front of him anymore." Chen Hanshi said seriously.
"Got it, sir."
"In a few days, the court will be in chaos, look at it, soon, the Tang family, the Kong family, and even the Zhou family will come to the door."
"That's... Does the master want to let Xiangye know your identity? ”
Chen Hanshi raised his eyebrows: "What is my identity?" What status can I have? I'm just a businessman. ”
"Yes." Leyou nodded.
As Leyou said, Zhou Yulan went to the Zijin Pavilion on the same day to report the matter of Kong Youhuan, the household servant, to the national teacher, and submitted the bills for the month that Kong Youhuan borrowed from the Tang family's money bank, showing that Kong Youhuan had withdrawn a total of 70,000 taels of silver in this month, and the use was unknown.
The national teacher looked at the pile of bills, was silent for a while, and said, "Seventy thousand taels of silver? ”
"Yes, it's just for a month. I haven't checked anything further, I'm afraid there are more. ”
"Where did you get the bill?"
"There is one thing I didn't tell the national teacher, yesterday some people who used to live in Dongcheng Lane went to the entrance of the Ministry of Industry to make trouble, saying that the cost of demolition and relocation that the Ministry of Household originally promised was not given to them, and they don't even have a place to live now." Speaking of this, I deliberately stopped to observe the face of the national teacher.
The national teacher really frowned: "It's been so long since the demolition and relocation, and the money hasn't been implemented yet?" ”
In the first year, these people lived in temporary resettlement houses built by the Ministry of Industry, and later the houses were built, and the state was not responsible for the purchase of furniture and supplies, which was the money that the Ministry of Household Affairs was going to distribute. At the beginning, the announcement posted by the household department, the one hundred taels of silver per household, was issued in three installments, and it should have been distributed last month, but in fact, not a single child reached the hands of the people. "I did my homework before I came, flipped through the folds of the previous household, and asked the fourth sister about money.
"At that time, His Majesty's will was given, and you also conveyed the will to the household department, right?" The national teacher raised his eyebrows.
I nodded: "Lord Shangshu Tang and Lord Shilang Kong also gave me the folds, and the folds are all in my house." ”
"Why didn't you go to the treasury to get this money?"
"National teacher, you forgot, the treasury was being counted at that time, and the procedures for going to the treasury to get it were complicated, Master Kong and I applied for it, and went directly to the Tang family money village to pick it up. Tang's money was originally for the convenience of the country. I took a sip of tea and said, "I thought that Master Kong had already implemented this matter, after all, Master Kong had done things for so many years, and there had been no problems with Tang's Qianzhuang, I knew that yesterday, Lord Ye came to talk to me, and I knew that there was such a thing." ”
The national teacher didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something, I thought about it, and knelt on the ground: "It is the minister's dereliction of duty that has caused many people to suffer losses, and the country has been disgraced, so please punish the national teacher." ”
The voice of the national teacher came from overhead: "You get up first, I haven't said I want to blame you yet." ”
But I refused to get up, so I just straightened up and said, "National teacher, where did the money allocated by the state go?" Why did no one ask any questions from the government and the opposition? How could he have such a big courage to swallow millions of dollars allocated by the state? ”
The national teacher frowned: "What do you mean..."
I nodded.
The national teacher picked up a jade unicorn and played with it in his hand, played with it for a while, put down the unicorn, and said to me: "The household servant is not a petty official. ”
"Yes."
"This amount is not a small amount."
"Yes."
"Do you have any other evidence besides these bills?"
"National teacher, if you don't investigate, where will the other evidence come from?" I said aloud, "The people got no response from the Ministry of Households, and they all went to the Ministry of Works. With this alone, he will not end up well, not to mention, behind his back..."
"Okay." The national teacher interrupted me, "Your Majesty is still in the Beichen Palace, you go to face the saint, let's check this money carefully." ”
Zhou Yulan got up from the ground, saluted and left. The national teacher sat on the chair for a long time and shouted, "Yuji! ”
Sun Yuji walked out from behind the screen in response, and the national teacher said, "Did you hear what Yulan said just now?" Go and call me Chen Hanshi now. ”
"This household servant is greedy for money, what does it have to do with Chen Hanshi?"
"In Wucheng, as long as it has something to do with money, it has something to do with him." The national teacher's tone could not be refuted, "You call him now, I have something to ask him." ”
"Yes." Sun Yuji responded.
Sun Yuji actually wanted to find a way out of the palace to go shopping, and it happened that the national teacher was looking for Chen Hanshi, so she didn't plan to call the little eunuch, but went to find Chen Hanshi herself. Sun Yuji changed his body and left the palace, planning to call Chen Hanshi into the palace first, and then go to see Soft Qing and Yanqing, so he took a carriage to Chen's house.
Chen Hanshi seemed to have known that the national teacher was going to call him, and sat in the hall, waiting for her in the lobby. Explaining his intentions, Chen Hanshi nodded and said to Leyou: "Leyou, help me prepare the carriage." ”
Sun Yuji couldn't help but ask, "Do you know that the national teacher is looking for you?" ”
"In Wucheng, everything related to money has something to do with me, and if something big happens, the national teacher will naturally look for me."
"How do you know something is wrong?"
"Xiangye came to me yesterday." Chen Hanshi smiled, "He leaked with me. ”
Sun Yuji said in his heart that Yulan is becoming more and more a thief now, as if he knows everything, calculates everything, and doesn't know where he got those bills, how could he know that Chen Hanshi has something to do with this matter.
When Sun Yuji didn't speak, Chen Hanshi was also looking at her. Back then, His Majesty ordered the Sun family to be beheaded, leaving Sun Yuji and her brother Sun Yuting, who had never met a few times. Chen Hanshi admired the national teacher in his heart, and he didn't know how he persuaded Sun Yuji to let her enter the palace to work for him. He also vaguely knew that the case of the Sun family back then also had something to do with money.
"What are you looking at me for?" Sun Yuji said curiously.
"It's okay, I'll go into the palace, what about you?"
"I'll go to the Hou Mansion to see the Hou Ye's daughter." Sun Yuji said goodbye to him, "Go quickly, the national teacher is in a hurry." ”
After Sun Yuji left, Leyou came over, and Chen Hanshi asked: "After I stepped out of this door, all the ledgers were locked, and no one was allowed to move without my order." "Master, don't you need me to accompany you?" "You stay at home." Chen Han said, "I'm coming back to eat something delicious." ”
"Okay." Leyou smiled, but he couldn't help but worry in his heart, but Chen Hanshi's face was calm, and he didn't look nervous at all.
Leyou handed the crutches to Chen Hanshi, who smiled and walked out.
Purple Pavilion.
Chen Hanshi saluted and walked in with a cane, the national teacher motioned for him to sit down, he put the cane aside and sat down respectfully.
"Kong Youhuan, how many houses have you bought here?"
Unexpectedly, the national teacher asked so directly at the beginning, Chen Hanshi was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Did the national teacher ask about these two years, or a few years ago?" ”
"All." The national teacher slapped the table, but the sound was silent, but Chen Hanshi was still shocked.
"There are eight properties in Wucheng, two on Xiqiao Street, three on Beita Road, and two more on the outskirts of the city, next to the Lin Zhong River, and his mansion in the inner city is given by the state, not mine." Chen Han's esophagus.
"There's still one set left, it's in Dongcheng Lane?"
“…… Be. Chen Han esophagus, "So a few years ago, when it was demolished, Master Kong should also receive the money." ”
"He got it, but the people didn't get any of it!" The national teacher's voice was terrifyingly low.
"Yes." Chen Hanshi lowered his head, "I didn't expect such a thing to happen..."
"Eight houses, eight houses! He's just a household servant, and in a place like Wucheng, where every inch of land is valuable, there are actually eight houses, which is really appalling! Ye Shu Luo's ancestors have been above three grades for three generations, and so far the mansion is just the Ye Mansion in the inner city given by the state! He is a household servant, and he actually has eight houses in Wucheng! The national teacher was furious, "Why didn't you tell me before?" ”
"Kong Youhuan has been greedy for more than a year or two, but he used to collect red envelopes from merchants at most, and he still didn't dare to take the country's money. National teacher, you also know that the business world has rules in the business world, and the state is difficult to manage and cannot manage. Chen Han said in his esophagus, "Furthermore, in the business field of Chen Kingdom, the state is only responsible for issuing policies, and the rest is regulated by the business field itself." It's not that there are people like Master Kong. ”
"He is a national official of the third grade, and his salary is not low, and he is still greedy for this and that, and now he even dares to swallow the supplies allocated by the state?" The national teacher said coldly, "How many of his eight houses did you buy after the demolition?" ”
"Five sets."
"Five sets... Okay. The national teacher snorted coldly, "What about the account books of the household department and the Tang family money bank that I asked you to back up?" ”
"Locked up at home."
"You don't see the slightest problem? This matter is still Yu Lan told me, he is a person who doesn't understand money at all, doesn't know how to do business, can see the problem from the bills, you are one of the most powerful people in the business field of Chenguo, can't you see it? ”
Chen Hanshi's back was cold: "National Teacher, there is no problem with the account books of the household department and the Tang family's money bank, but the bill that Xiang Ye got is problematic, which can only show that the household department and the Tang family money bank have made fake accounts." ”
"Do you want to remind me if I made a false account?" The national teacher raised his eyebrows, "Kong Youhuan went to look for you before he came to me, right?" ”
"Xiangye came to probe my tone yesterday and wanted the account book, but Xiangye didn't know and shouldn't know my identity, so I didn't give it to him, so he came to tell you today."
"What Yu Lan means is that the person behind Kong Youhuan is Han Fu."
"Yes." Chen Han said, "The Fifth Princes also came to me, but the Fifth Princes came to me because they didn't want me to say anything about Kong Youlian... Laundering money for him. ”
The national teacher took a deep breath and said, "Kong Youlian, laundering money for Han Fu?" ”
"Kong Youhuan bought so many houses, not only for himself, one of them on Beita Road, has been covered and renovated, very mysterious, I suspect that Han Fu wants to use these houses to do something, and the money that Kong Youhuan swallowed is estimated to be for Han Fu, if there is no Han Fu to protect him, he has no courage to move." Chen Han esophagus, "I was going to report these things to you when the signs are obvious, but I didn't expect Xiangye to be..."
"Alright." The national teacher said, "What else do you know?" ”
"I also know that Xiangye is determined to uproot this corrupt tree and dispose of Han Fu, but the foundation of this big tree is very deep and deep, maybe Xiangye will make no progress, maybe his life will be in danger, national teacher, do you want him to continue to do it?" Chen Hanshi looked at the national teacher.
The national teacher put his hands behind his back, his eyes flickering: "It's true that Han Fu should be removed, I don't care how to get rid of him, in short, I will protect him." ”
"In case Xiangye finds out about the case more than ten years ago..."
The national teacher turned around with a sharp look, and Chen Hanshi immediately didn't dare to speak.
"Then don't let him find out." The national teacher said lightly. (To be continued.) )
