The old emperor was in a bit of a bad mood today. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 It is not a way to wait, Jiang Yun asked tentatively: "I don't know why Your Majesty summoned Weichen to come?" ”

Putting down the twists and turns, Ji Zhong looked directly at Jiang Yun, did not hide the dissatisfaction in his eyes, and said lightly: "Jiang Yun, are you guilty?" ”

"Guilty?" Jiang Yun was stunned. "What is the crime of Wechen?"

Pretending to be stupid? Ji Zhong smiled coldly and said unhurriedly: "If I remember correctly, the envoy from the east will be entrusted to you at the beginning." ”

"Yes, it does."

"Then you tell me, how did you do it? Jiang Yun, you disappointed me so much! The old emperor hated iron and steel, and said angrily: "If you want to do something, I will give you a gold medal and make it convenient for you." You want to be promoted, and I agreed. You want a woman, I even gave you my own granddaughter and the court generals, I think I don't treat you lightly, how do you repay me? Not only did he do his best, but he even became a shopkeeper directly. . . ”

"Slowly, slowly." Jiang Yun suddenly shouted, interrupted him and said, "Your Majesty, what did you say?" The minister didn't understand. ”

"Still pretending to be stupid? What's going on with the envoys from the east? I obviously handed it over to you, but in the end, how did it become An Rongsi who was in charge? ”

Ouch, feelings are for this! Jiang Yun's mentality changed in an instant, if it was for this matter, the more angry the emperor was, the better! Hongya Fuping is enough, shouldn't it really be cheating, and it means to pay tens of thousands of taels of silver, right? Looking at the appearance of the emperor, it is really possible.

"Lord Liao did this, don't you feel very satisfied?"

"What not satisfied! It's a mess! Ji Zhong gasped and said, "Do you know what he did?" ”

"I don't know." Jiang Yun looked dazed, and roared angrily in his heart: Hurry up and talk about it! Don't worry about it.

"Not only did he not ask for a copper plate from the east, but he signed and sealed the credentials and promised to pay five million taels of silver to the east as military expenses against the Goryeo Kingdom!"

“。。。” This time it's not pretending to be stupid, Jiang Yun is really stupid. The country of the wolf of wealth is really not in vain! I thought that his own heart was black enough, but he never thought that the old boy of Hongya Fuping had a darker heart, not only did he not pull out a dime when he became an iron rooster, but he asked Da Zhou to stick five million taels of silver to them.

Depend on! Not only can't he carry this pot, but he can't even touch it at all, whoever touches it is unlucky! Thinking of this, Jiang Yun immediately shouted out his grievances. "Your Majesty, I don't complain about this. You can ask how dedicated the minister is to the envoys to the east. Not only did he operate day and night, but he even paid out of his own pocket to repair the Fuyi Division and buy daily utensils, just to do the things entrusted by His Majesty. Except for the house, which was not demolished, the rest of the things that could be replaced were replaced with new ones. ”

This sworn appearance really made Ji Chong confused. "How could that be..."

"It's the Ministry of Rites! Your Majesty, just before the envoy from the east came to Beijing, the Ministry of Rites issued an official document ordering Wechen to hand over the matter to Anjung Division, saying that Wechen had not been in office for a long time, and he had just arrived, and he was afraid that he would mess things up. For this matter, Weichen also went to the Ministry of Rites to make trouble, and many people saw it. ”

"You mean, the Ministry of Rites has issued a paperwork? Where is the paperwork? ”

As soon as Ji Chong's words fell, Jiang Yun took out the official document of the Ministry of Rites from his arms and handed it over. For this matter, he has been preparing for a long time, how can the key evidence be separated. Ji Zhong took the official document, did not look at it carefully, only glanced at the big seal of the Ministry of Rites on it, and then angrily slapped the document on the table, and shouted loudly: "Come on, call me Sun Huaili's dog thing!" ”

Not long after, Sun Huaili arrived.

"Wechen...

Before a salute was finished, Ji Chong smashed the official document of the Ministry of Rites directly in his face and shouted: "Bastard thing! Did you do this? ”

"What?" Sun Huaili looked dazed.

"Pick it up and see for yourself!" Ji Zhong gasped and said hatefully: "Do you want me to hand it over to you?" ”

"I don't dare." At this time, Sun Huaili also knew that the emperor was in a bad mood, so he hurriedly bent down to pick up the documents, glanced at the ground, and was immediately stunned. "Your Majesty, wronged, I really don't know about this matter."

"You don't know? There is a great seal of the Ministry of Rites on this! ”

"It's true that there is a big seal, but the minister doesn't always bring the big seal on his body, he puts it in the Ministry of Rites on weekdays, not only Weichen, but also the two waiters have the right to use it."

"Good!" Ji Zhong laughed angrily. "Come on, call Cao Yi and Zuo Xiulin for me!" After a pause, he added: "Go to the prison of the Criminal Department again and bring this damn thing Liao Hui with you." ”

Yo, this guy is already in prison, and he's moving fast enough.

This time, there were more people calling, and it took a long time, and after about half an hour, several people came one after another and gathered in the imperial study.

Cao Yi and Zuo Linxiu, the two waiters, were also at a loss after reading the documents, and shook their heads at the same time. "I don't know."

"Let's talk about it." Ji Zhong looked at Liao Hui, who was shackled, and said lightly: "It seems that someone stole the Great Seal of the Ministry of Rites." How could the Ministry of Rites meddle in such a trivial matter? If you want to say that you Liao Hui didn't do anything, I don't believe it, let's recruit it from the truth, who did it? ”

"Your Majesty, the guilty minister confessed truthfully, can you surround my life?" This innocent child still has a glimmer of illusion about survival.

Ji Zhong didn't laugh at him, but replied lightly: "Leave you a whole corpse." ”

When Liao Hui heard this, he smiled miserably. That's right, five million taels, let him pay it with his life, it has already given him a big advantage. Speaking of which, he can only blame himself for being greedy, after all, it is difficult to refuse money and beauty, he thought that he would not do anything just by receiving gifts, and the envoys from the east could not do anything about him. Before I had time to touch the delicate girl, I said inexplicably.

Early the next morning, he signed the credentials in a daze, and by the time he reacted, everything had already settled. At this point, Liao Hui was discouraged and muttered, "It was Cao Rui who did it for the criminals." ”

"You talk nonsense!" Cao Yi immediately blew his beard and retorted, but there was a faint uneasiness in his heart, wasn't his son detained in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion with Liao Hui in front of him before? In the end, he took the silver to redeem people, which shows that the two have indeed had a relationship.

Sure enough, Liao Hui's next sentence confirmed what Cao Yi thought. "The criminal minister didn't talk nonsense, Chief Cao had a grudge with Jiang Yun for a long time, so after the criminal minister mentioned it to him, he immediately agreed to it, and there are many people in the Ministry of Rites who can testify for the criminal minister. In the Xiaoxiang Pavilion that day, it was the criminal minister who invited him to thank Cao Rui for his help, who knew that this person was so good-natured, he actually ordered a few top girls, and the criminal minister didn't bring enough silver, or you Lord Cao came to redeem the account, it's only been a few days, you won't forget it, right? ”

"Oh? And what's going on? Ji Zhong smiled and said, "Master Cao gave birth to a good son." ”

"The old minister is guilty." At this point, there was no point in quibbling, Cao Yi knelt down as soon as his legs were weak, kowtowing like pounding garlic. "The dog is young and vigorous, confused for a while, beg Your Majesty to be gracious, any sin, the old minister is willing to bear it on one shoulder, just ask Your Majesty to spare the dog's life."

"Hehe, why does this sound so familiar?" Ji Zhong said lightly: "If I remember it well, when the Japanese invaded and Cao Rui abandoned the city and fled, that's what you told me. On that day, the grandson also interceded for him, and for the sake of your face, I not only exempted him from punishment, but even promoted him to the head of the Ministry of Rites within a year. Who knows, it's only been a long time before I've caused me such a big problem. Five million taels, a full five million taels! Say, 'How will I spare him?' ”

"Your Majesty..."

"Tell the word." Ji Chong said lightly: "Submit Cao Rui and Liao Hui to the Criminal Department and deal with them according to the law." Cao Yi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is very old, and I am allowed to say goodbye to his old age. You all go, Jiang Yun stayed. ”

"Minister... Compliance. ”
