Chapter 41: Tracing the Roots (Part II)

As soon as Tang Fengyin was driven out by Chen Hanshi, Tang Xue came to my house. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that Ye Shuluo's work efficiency was extremely high, Tang Xuelai had always sat firmly like a mountain, and she was not surprised when it changed, and when it came to her own brother, she finally couldn't sit still.

"Qiu Mang, pour tea." I asked Tang Xue to sit down, "What's the matter, what's going on with the household?" ”

"Xiangye, don't play stupid with me." Tang Xuelai said bluntly, "It's just for Kong Yougong." ”

"What's the matter, you and I originally mentioned the problem with Kong Youquan, and now I plan to check him, what is your opinion?"

"I don't dare to have opinions, it's just that Xiangye, since you decided to check Kong Youquan, you must already know about the account books of the Tang Clan's money bank."

"Yes." I plan to see Tang Xuelai's reaction first, and said with a smile, "The demolition and relocation of that year, the money allocated by the state to the Ministry of Household was raised from the Tang family's money bank, but it was not sent to the people. ”

Tang Xuelai's face stiffened: "Xiangye, Kong Youquan's matter is indeed my dereliction of duty......

"I'm not going to punish you." I said slowly.

"Then why did Lord Ye talk to Feng Yin for an afternoon today, and then Feng Yin went out in a panic..."

I said in my heart that it seems that Tang Xuelai really didn't know about Tang Fengyin's fake accounts, and said, "Your brother has made fake accounts, do you know?" ”

Tang Xuelai kept shaking his head: "Impossible, Feng Yin is timid, and he will never dare to make fake accounts!" And there are also many uncles in the family, who will help in this regard and give Feng Yin ideas, he can't be so confused and dare to make fake accounts for the court..."

"Lord Tang, how long has it been since you asked about the Tang Clan's Qianzhuang?"

“…… It's been about five years. ”

"yes, five years, five years can change a lot." I said meaningfully.

"Xiangye!" Tang Xue said, "Let me check, I must find out about this matter!" ”

"Lord Tang, you calm down first, what about this investigation, there is its own criminal department, and this matter was first brought up by the Ministry of Industry, the assistance is naturally the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Households, as the center of the case, can only cooperate with the investigation, how can you let you investigate?" I poured her a cup of tea, "Let you check, the officials will not be convinced, and Your Majesty will not agree." ”

Tang Xuelai drank all the tea in the cup, was silent for a while, and said, "If this thing is really done by Feng Yin, I will definitely not protect him." It's just Xiangye......"

"I haven't started investigating yet, I can't say anything for sure, and I can't promise you anything." I interrupted her.

She hung her head and was silent, she knew very well in her heart that as soon as this incident came out, whether it was Tang Fengyin or not, the century-old foundation of Tang's Qianzhuang was ruined, no matter what the final result was, whether Tang Fengyin was convicted or not, the relationship between Tang's Qianzhuang and the imperial court was broken, and if she lost the trust of King Ping, Tang's Qianzhuang would be worthless.

I think Tang Fengyin also understands this truth, so he immediately went to Chen Hanshi for protection after Ye Shuluo talked to him, and his action confirmed my thoughts: Chen Hanshi holds Kong Yougong or Tang Fengyin in his hand, or even Han Fu's handle, and the things in his hand have a way to influence the situation.

But why does a businessman who sells a house have such an important bargaining chip? Could it be that Chen Hanshi is also a person cultivated by the national teacher?

I suddenly remembered the six night pearls of the national teacher, what I know so far, Du Duzhen, Sun Yuji, Jin Se, Sun Yun and Ye Shuluo are not good, plus Chen Hanshi, they are indeed the best talents in different fields among my contemporaries. The national teacher has a very accurate vision for seeing people, but if Chen Hanshi is also a national teacher, why does he still guard against me like this?

Sending Tang Xue away, I bit the pen and began to write an excerpt to King Ping, no matter who the task of checking the Tang family's money and Kong Mansion falls on in the end, it can't be someone from Han Fu's side.

Tang's Money.

Tang Feng sat on the chair dejectedly, without saying a word. Tang Xuelai rushed back from outside, and saw Tang Fengyin angry and pitiful, looking at him and unable to say a word. Tang Fengyin didn't dare to look at his sister, only glanced at her secretly a few times, and when he saw that his face was not good, he didn't speak.

After a while, Tang Xuelai spoke: "I just came back from the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

"Sister, you don't need to go to Zhou Yulan, this matter was poked out by him Zhou Yulan, he won't stop if he doesn't make a fuss!"

"You are bold! Is the Prime Minister's name whatever you can call it? Tang Xuelai said angrily, "You kneel down for me!" ”

"Sister!"

"Get on your knees!"

Tang Fengyin reluctantly knelt in front of Tang Xuelai.

"Look at how big a basket you poked me? The century-old foundation of the Tang family is about to be destroyed in your hands! Tang Xue said angrily, "I am a dignified household secretary, my own brother actually made a fake account, how can you let me have the face to face my colleagues in the court?" How do you go underground to our father after death? ”

"Sister, I do things by myself, I will never affect you."

"Take your words back! Dad told me to take good care of you before he died, how could I leave you? But if there is any possibility, I will fight for you, but you are too uncompetitive this time. Tang Xuelai sighed, "I didn't expect that you would dare to make a fake account of the imperial court!" ”

Tang Fengyin frowned: "I'm just sending Master Kong a favor, which is not uncommon in the business world." ”

"Those disgraceful rules and customs in the business world can't be brought to the table, since Xiangye wants to bring it to the table, you have no excuse." Tang Xue said, "You said that you are such a big person, why do you have no brains in doing things?" Can the allocation to the Ministry of Industry be allocated in this way? Don't even ask which account the hole is drawn to? And help him make fake accounts? Tang Xue came to see Tang Fengyin kneeling on the ground without speaking, suddenly remembered something, and asked seriously: "Is it not, what benefits did the fifth prince give you?" ”

Tang Fengyin's eyes widened, and he hurriedly waved his hand: "It's okay, sister, no." ”

Tang Xuelai looked at him with hatred, gritted his teeth and said: "The situation between the DPRK and China is already very obvious, even if you don't want to stand in line, in the eyes of others, you will be divided into which category, whether to follow Your Majesty or follow the Fifth Prince, this is a must be chosen." Although I am in charge of money, I can still see that the person behind Kong Yougong is the fifth prince. If it weren't for the benefits that the fifth prince gave you, you would dare to make a fake account for the imperial court? ”

Tang Fengyin knelt on the ground, already sweating profusely: "Sister, the fifth prince needs our family, he, he will protect us." ”

"Protect you?" Tang Xuelai smiled, "This time it was Xiangye who personally presented his decision to His Majesty, can't you see this determination?" I'm afraid that the fifth prince will not be able to protect himself at that time, and he will still protect you? ”

"The prince needs money, he needs me..."

"It's useless to say anything now, I don't know who Your Majesty will let check our family's accounts, in short, you have to sort out all the accounts first, and you can sort them out tonight, I'll accompany you to sort them out, and find out all the problematic accounts!" Tang Xuelai wiped the sweat from her forehead, "Although this audit is menacing, but Xiang Ye's goal is the fifth prince after all, whether you still have a way to live, it all depends on Xiang Ye's meaning!" These days, you just stay at home and don't go anywhere, I'll take care of it for you. ”

Tang Fengyin's eyes were hot, in this world, the best thing for himself is Tang Xuelai, blood is thicker than water, Tang Xuelai's anxiety made Tang Fengyin really realize his danger, and also made Tang Fengyin begin to regret it, if he had discussed it with his sister at the beginning, would there not be so many things?

"However, if Zhou... Prime Minister, he is determined to get rid of me? Tang Fengyin asked.

Tang Xuelai thought for a while and said, "I'll go find Master Ge." ”

"Lord Ge? Can Kazu-sama save me? ”

"Master Ge still has a little friendship with our father, he is Xiangye's uncle, and he is the only person in the Zhou family who can lower him." Tang Xuelai frowned, "Lord Ge has been living in Yingang Helian's house since the siege of Cangzhou, but the prime minister's wife is about to give birth, and the palace newspaper said that he wants to return to Wucheng. And once there is a problem in the household department, someone has to succeed him, think about it, Lord Ge is indeed the best candidate. ”

"Lord Ge has a strange temper and is shrewd, and I don't know if he will help us or not..."Tang Fengyin said dejectedly.

"You don't have to worry about this, Lord Ge is friendly with King Yuwen, he was transferred out because of political views before, he is pro-Yuwen Wang's faction, and Prime Minister Zhou was a pro-national teacher, everyone knows this, at this time, you can only count on him."

"But the prime minister has always been at odds with Lord Ge."

"It's man-made." Tang Xuelai said word by word. (To be continued.) )
