Meng Chang ordered a thorough investigation into the destruction of the naval vessels and demanded that the matter be investigated within seven days.

It was about to be the seven-day period, and the officials of Dali Temple were uneasy, so he quietly went to Li Hao's house in the dark night.

"Li Xiang rescued me, Your Majesty asked me to find out the fine work that destroyed the warship within seven days, but now the fine work has not been found, and the lower officials are worried that the black gauze hat on my head will not be protected, and my head will not be protected."

Jiang Xin, the Cheng of Dali Temple, visited late at night, wanting to protect himself, Li Hao met him in the hall, and he said in his heart that this may be a plan to bring down Wang Zhaoyuan, so he said: "Jiang Sicheng, you must have been involved in Wang Zhaoyuan's last visit, and this time you have to come forward and falsely accuse Wang Zhaoyuan of serving as a privy envoy in the past few years, colluding with foreign businessmen to buy and sell weapons, forging account books privately, and sending people to steal account books in order to hide people's eyes and ears." ”

Jiang Xin, the Cheng of Dali Temple, listened to Li Hao's words, and was shocked in his heart, and at this time, he was making other calculations, but there was no evidence for falsely accusing Wang Zhaoyuan, but he would fall into death.

"Li Xiang, this ...... Forgive you for not doing that! Jiang Xin looked resolute.

"You don't believe in what you are, you're still afraid of death."

"Li Xiang, this is unfounded, how can the lower officials be able to defeat Wang Zhaoyuan, this impeachment will not succeed, but it will make the lower officials ......"

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and smiled, and then warned: "Don't worry, the prime minister will not let you be impeached so easily if he doesn't have enough evidence, if His Majesty is angry and wants to kill you, the prime minister will also beg for mercy for you in front of His Majesty, don't forget, how did you, the Dali Temple, sit up, but the impeachment of Wang Zhaoyuan will make you scared like this." ”

When Jiang Xin heard this, his face was like dirt, the candidate for Dali Temple was not him, but he bribed Li Hao and asked him to speak for him in front of Meng Chang before he promoted him.

"Li Xiang, the next official will go back and write a recital to impeach Wang Zhaoyuan."

Li Hao nodded and smiled, and then said "hmm" softly.

Jiang Xin wiped the beads of sweat on his face, and his back was already wet, and he said, "The lower official is leaving, please rest assured Li Xiang!" ”

Li Hao watched him leave the mansion, and remembered the past:

After Meng Chang ascended the throne that year, the former emperor's ministers Li Renhan and Zhang Ye were arrogant and domineering, threatening Meng Chang's dominance, and in order to deal with the old generals, Meng Chang had to promote his trusted cronies. So Meng Chang promoted Wang Zhaoyuan to become his personal envoy, and then step by step from the general envoy to the current privy envoy, holding military power, can determine national affairs.

In Meng Chang's mind, Wang Zhaoyuan is an absolutely reliable figure, and the treasury can be withdrawn by him at will, and there is no supervision.

Today's Empress Dowager Li of Shu has told Meng Chang many times that Wang Zhaoyuan is unavailable, but Meng Chang did not listen and continued to let this person hold military power.

Empress Dowager Li had no choice but to find herself, and wanted to impeach Wang Zhaoyuan above the court, although she did not have any great relationship with Wang Zhaoyuan, but in order to please the emperor's biological mother, she asked the Chinese courtiers to impeach Wang Zhaoyuan.

At the same time, he was a bachelor of Hanlin of Wang Yan, the former king of Shu, and after the fall of Qianshu, he later surrendered to Meng's Shu.

Meng Chang didn't let Wang Zhaoyuan do anything, but just warned him......

Thinking about it this way, he felt that it was necessary to go to Li Yan's mansion to find out about the loopholes in the account books, so he immediately changed into civilian clothes and went to Li Yan's mansion.

On Li Yan's house, Qin Xi and the other three were still looking at the account book, Qin Xi seemed to have found a trace of cattiness in the account book, he took this account book, and then asked his entourage to find Li Yan.

"Lord Li, it is recorded in this account book: In the thirteenth year of Guangzheng, a bucket of rice in Shu was only sold for three yuan, and now what is recorded in the account book is that a bucket of rice is sold for five yuan, and the imperial court collected grain according to three yuan, but the account book recorded that five yuan collected grain, and the difference between one bucket of rice and two yuan, ten buckets of rice is twenty yuan...... There's a lot of interest in that. ”

Li Yan compared this account book with other account books of the same period, and indeed found the problem: "Oh? Are there any other discoveries? ”

"It seems that someone has tampered with this account book lately, and not long ago there was a transaction in which it was written that two thousand sets of armor were damaged in the treasury, and that they were sold at a low price, but there was no record of the sale to anyone, but only a passing one, and if it had been damaged, the price would not have been so low. Even so, this date is not far from the date of the burning of the Ordnance Prison. ”

Li Yan looked through the account books and saw that the sale of the weapon was still a few days after the ordnance prison was burned, could it be that someone stole the weapons of the ordnance superintendent and let people find out, and then burned the ordnance superintendent, this discovery seemed to make Li Yan a little excited.

"Who exactly did it sell to? If they were sold, then where are these weapons now? Li Yan thought.

At this time, someone outside the door told him, and then the little guy whispered in Li Yan's ear. Li Yan's face changed, and then he straightened his clothes and walked out of the secret room.

Qin Xi and the three of them are still checking the accounts.

"Li Yan, how are things going?" Li Hao asked urgently as soon as he entered the house.

"Uncle, there are some eyebrows, please follow me to the secret room to have a look." After Li Yan finished speaking, he led the way in front.

After that, Li Yan showed Li Hao the problems in the account book, and Li Hao also saw some clues from the account book.

"Uncle, I'll ask them to transcribe a copy and deliver it to you."

"Okay."

……

Early the next morning, Jiang Xin, the Cheng of Dali Temple, came to Fengtai with the transcribed account book and the song and asked to see Meng Chang.

When Meng Chang heard the news from the inner servant, he went to Fengtai to meet the minister.

"Any news?" Meng Chang asked.

"Your Majesty, a few days ago, someone said that the account books were sent to the minister, and the minister has a transcription of the account book here, please look at it."

"Books?" Meng Chang thought that he had misheard, and when Dali Temple handed it to him, he took the account book in Jiang Xin's hand and read it slowly.

Meng Chang looked at it for a moment, but did not find any problems in the account books.

"What's wrong with this book?" Meng Chang couldn't understand the cats in the account books, so he asked helplessly.

"Your Majesty, please look here......" Jiang Xin walked over, then pointed to the account book and said, "After the fire in the ordnance prison, there are weapons for sale here, doesn't Your Majesty think there is any connection between them?" ”

"There is indeed a problem, could it be that the fire in the ordnance supervisor is really related to the account books!" When Meng Chang heard Jiang Xin say this, he really felt that there might be some kind of indescribable relationship between the fire in the ordnance supervisor and the theft of the account books of the treasury.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister also thinks so, if it is not so, who else will destroy the evidence of the weapons prison, Your Majesty thinks that this must be done by someone familiar with weapons."

"Your Majesty, the minister feels that it is necessary to investigate the bureaucrats who are in charge of the weapons superintendent, and perhaps the key person in this case is among them."

"Armament supervisor? …… Well, I will immediately order you to take the note to the Privy Council and the Ministry of War to investigate the matter. ”

"Your Majesty, what if anyone protests?"

"Then you will put them in a cell, but you must not be tortured."

"Your Majesty, what is the seven-day period?" Jiang Xin said.

"Seven days is too little, give you another month, be sure to find out!"

"Your Majesty, the destruction of the warship will be handed over to the Ministry of War, and then handed over to my Dali Temple for review."

"Okay."

"No!" Jiang Xin put away the note in the cuffs and touched the cold sweat on his forehead, the note on the cuffs was originally going to play Meng Chang, but Li Hao asked him to act at the opportunity, don't act rashly, Li Hao thinks that a note and a few account books can't bring down Wang Zhaoyuan, Wang Zhaoyuan is much more important in Meng Chang's mind than a dignified prime minister. But to bring down a person, you have to slowly cut off his wings, and finally slowly ......

Meng Chang issued an edict, and Jiang Xin went to do something like taking Shang Fang's sword.

Jiang Xin took Meng Chang's edict and went to the Privy Council and the Ministry of War to investigate the fire in the ordnance supervisor and the disappearance of the account books of the Chengdu Treasury, while another investigation into the destruction of the warship was handed over to the Privy Council.

Jiang Xin went to the Privy Council to understand the situation with the Ministry of War, and the officials of the Ministry of War saw that Dali Temple Cheng was coming here in person, so he asked.

"Jiang Sicheng, why did you come to the military department?" Li Jindao, the secretary of the military department.

"This official is ordered by His Majesty to investigate the case of the fire in the ordnance prison and the disappearance of the account books of the government treasury, and I ask all colleagues to cooperate with this official." After speaking, Jiang Xin took out Meng Chang's edict and announced the order.

"Obey the Divine Commandment!" Li Jin and Jiang Xin belonged to two groups, and they wanted to get off the horse, but after the edict, he had to obey.

Jiang Xin asked Li Jin some questions, and then took Meng Chang's edict to temporarily imprison several suspected ministers to await interrogation.

"Jiang Xin, you—" Li Jin questioned, "why did you put a few of my subordinates in prison, I am afraid that it would run counter to the favored policy pursued by my Great Shu State." ”

"Didn't you hear about the holy decree just now, maybe you want to disobey the emperor's order."

"Don't dare."

"That's good." Jiang Xin smiled proudly, but he didn't expect Li Jin to also succumb to his crotch.

……

Just a few days later, regarding the destruction of the warship, the military department arrested many suspects, and most of these suspects were innocent people in Chengdu.

"You didn't do it." Inside the cell, the jailer wields a whip in his hand

"It's wrong, Xiaomin doesn't know-"

"You were seen going outside the city on the night of September 9, and you didn't do the destruction of the warship."

"What warship? Xiaomin doesn't know—"

"You are the fine work of the Song Kingdom!" The jailer said to the other one.

"Not me."

"Your Excellency has wronged!"
