Chapter 107: The Second Fire of the New Official (4)
"This ......"
Tasi'an has been in the Ministry of Industry for nearly ten years, starting from the pen post style, until now the Dushui Qing envoy Shilang, during which he has done quite a lot of dark deeds, at this time, when he heard Hongqing say so confidently, he was really not sure if he really had a handle in Hongqing's hands, and he was shocked, how dare he answer the call indiscriminately, so he had to turn his inquiring eyes on Samuha's body.
"It's really not fake, it's not true either, right and wrong must be returned to the truth, the little prince has a basis for what he said, so take it out, the official is really curious."
Samuha is also not sure what kind of evidence Hongqing has, but at this time, even if he is worried in his heart, Samuha can only be strong to the end, and when he receives Tasi'an's gaze for help, he immediately interjects coldly from the side.
"Sa Shangshu said well, everything is inseparable from the word 'reason', you must know that Skynet is restored and negligent but not leaky, those who try to get away with it are just lifting a stone to shoot themselves in the foot after all, if Ben Beizi has real evidence, deal with it, it will be done according to the law, what does Sa Shangshu think?"
Although Samuha's words are reasonable, but in fact, he is ambushed inside, and he did not vouch for Tasi'an, there is no doubt that Samuha's heart is obviously not as calm as it appears to be at this time, this point, Hongqing knows it very well, how can he let it be freed so easily, so he quickly asked.
"That's, that's, the little prince said it well, everything still has to rely on evidence after all, but there is solid evidence, how to do it, this official has no objection."
The tighter Hongqing urged, the deeper the anxiety in Samuha's heart became, and at this moment, he really didn't dare to blatantly guarantee Tasi'an, so he could only deal with it vaguely.
"Okay, that's what you want, Tasi'an, Ben Beizi asked you, the budget for the renovation of Changchun Garden on the sixth day of March in the forty-first year of Kangxi was signed and approved by you?"
Although Samuha's statement was vague, it was enough for Hongqing, and he would not be entangled with Samuha anymore, so he sneered, grabbed the paperweight and slapped it violently, raised his voice, and asked a question.
"This ......, it should be."
As soon as he heard Hongqing mention the renovation of Changchun Garden, Ta Si'an immediately made a sudden sudden, not for anything else, just because he really did something in this matter, although he thought that he was doing things in secret, he couldn't help but be a little weak-hearted, but now at this point, even if he is weak-hearted, he can only hold on.
"Well, that's good, then the verification document of Kangxi in August 41 is also handled by you, has Ben Beizi ever said wrong?"
Seeing Tasi'an's eyes fluttering, Hongqing secretly sneered in his heart, but he did not rush to point out the strangeness, but asked unhurriedly.
"That's true, the lower officials just act according to the charter, I don't know why the little prince thinks it's wrong?"
Under Hongqing's repeated questioning like this, Tath's anxiety in peace was already thick to the extreme, and he turned his heart sideways, and simply asked Hongqing where the evidence was, and the momentum of external strength and middle strength was fully revealed.
"Wrong? Hey, Lord Ta asked well, according to the budget issued by Er, the repair needs a total of eight columns, 3,400 pieces of Ming Huang glazed tiles, 187 pieces of various hollow ornaments, 1,236 pieces of blue bricks, 45 carved window lattices, 20 large and small carved screens, more than 800 pieces of wood, 1,200 pieces of boards, and brushes, wooden saws and other sundries, a total of 51,683 taels of silver. ”
Hongqing came prepared, and he didn't need to look at the document at all, just one mouth, and he had already reported all the numbers in the budget document.
"This ......, little prince Mingjian, after a long time, the lower officials really forgot the real number, if it is contained in the document, it should not be bad."
Although Tasian made a lot of money from this matter, but if he wanted him to clarify the specific work, he had already forgotten to clean it, and when he heard Hongqing report such a detailed figure, an ominous premonition was uncontrollable and surged into his heart, but he was still lucky, and he refused to admit his guilt, his eyes rolled wildly a few times, and he vaguely coped with a word.
"That's right, that's right, then this shell will ask you again, when it comes to the write-off, there are nine columns, 4,200 pieces of Ming and yellow glazed tiles, 201 pieces of various hollow ornaments, 1,477 pieces of green bricks, 55 carved window lattices, 32 pieces of large and small carved screens, more than 800 pieces of wood, 1,800 pieces of boards, and miscellaneous items such as brushes and wooden saws, totaling 64,793 taels of silver, this number is correct?"
Tasian wanted to deal with it vaguely, but unfortunately Hongqing didn't intend to let him get his wish, and a series of numbers came out of his mouth.
"Little Wang Ye Haihan, Xia Guan really can't remember clearly, if the document is loaded, then it will be considered good."
Seeing Hongqing reporting the number so fluently, Tasi'an couldn't bear it anymore, and the sweat in his head was dripping wildly, but he didn't dare to wipe it, lowered his head, and replied with insufficient confidence.
"San'er, hand over the document to Lord Ta and let him confirm it."
Hongqing didn't ask any further, but waved his hand and ordered indifferently.
"Wow!"
Hongqing had already given the order, Liu San'er, who was standing on the side, didn't dare to slack off, respectfully agreed, holding a document, walked to Tasi'an who was kneeling on the ground in a few steps, stretched out his hand, handed the document to Tasi'an's eyes, and asked with a solemn face: "Look, these two documents are as they are?" The signature at this head is yours? ”
"I guess so."
At this time, Tasian still couldn't figure out what kind of hole cards Hongqing was holding in his hand, and he couldn't help but panic, holding the stack of documents in his hand, pretending to look through them for a while, and at the end, he could only answer honestly.
"Yes, since Lord Ta dares to sign and draw, it is obvious that the information contained in this document has been verified, Ben Beizi is not mistaken, huh?"
As soon as he heard Tasi'an admit it, the corners of Hongqing's mouth twitched, revealing a pleasant smile, but he was still not in a hurry to uncover the hole cards, but just asked with a smile.
"This, this ......"
Seeing Hongqing's ambiguous smile this time, Tasi'an's already empty heart suddenly became a little more empty, stretched out his sleeves, wiped his face indiscriminately, and hesitated to admit it.
"Isn't it yet? Say! ”
Before Ta Si'an came up with a reason, Hongqing suddenly changed his face, slapped the copywriter heavily, and roared and stopped.
"Ah, yes, yes......"
Frightened by this sudden startling sound, Tasi'an's body suddenly shuddered, and in a panic, his mouth was already involuntarily recognized.
"Very good, Lord Tower has been verified, I don't think there should be a bad pool, but Ben Beizi is a little puzzled, this budget is actually 10,000 taels of silver difference from the actual situation, I don't know what to say about this extra one, and please ask Lord Tower for some advice."
Hongqing's solemn face suddenly changed again, and he once again showed a smile of unknown meaning, and asked slowly.
"This, this, ah, back to the little prince's words, in the actual repair, one is the loss of materials, and the other is also due to the repair of the damage that was not noticed before it must be repaired, and it is normal to use more materials, the lower official does not dare to lie to coax the little prince, if you don't believe it, you can check it, you can know that what the lower official said is true."
Tasi'an has been in the Ministry of Engineering for many years, and he is still somewhat clear about the construction of the project.
"Sa Shangshu, is what Lord Ta said true?"
Hongqing smiled and did not comment on Tasian's words, but glanced sideways at Samuha and asked meaningfully.
"The project is complicated, how can everything be predicted in advance, and a slight deviation is a matter of course."
At this time, Samuha was already faintly aware of the fact that something was wrong, and he had the intention to make some cover for Tasi'an, and he was afraid that he would also be involved, so he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart, and after pondering for a while, he gave a decent answer.
"A slight deviation? Oh, it's a slight deviation, Ben Beizi really doesn't believe it, San'er, you come and tell Master Sa how big this deviation is. ”
As soon as Samuha's words fell, Hongqing already sneered, ignoring how ugly Samuha's expression was, waving his hand, and shouting in a deep voice.
"Wow!"
Liu San'er responded neatly, shook his hand, took out the fold from his sleeve, spread out his hands, and read out one by one: "Zicha, from March to July of the forty-first year of Kangxi, Changchun Garden has changed a total of 33 window lattices, including ten in the south study, four in the Yunya Pavilion, three in Ruijingxuan...... two pillars in the back cover hall, one ...... in Chunhui Hall, two screens in the Nine Classics and Three Things Palace, and a ...... in the Tibetan Zhai screen. ”
"Tasian, that's what you call normal, huh?"
Seeing this, Hongqing stopped going around in circles, coldly glanced at Tasi'an, who was already trembling, and asked coldly.
"This, this ......"
Tasi'an had already moved a lot of hands and feet in repairing Changchun Garden, although not all of his hands and feet had been uncovered at this time, but just this part that had been uncovered was enough for him to drink a pot, if Hongqing really held on to it, he would have to take off the upper layer of skin if he didn't die, and in panic, he had to turn his eyes for help to Samuha with a gloomy face again.
Although Samuha couldn't understand where the evidence in Hongqing's hand came from, when he saw Tasian's obscene appearance, he knew that this evidence was indeed true, and he couldn't help but be angry and anxious in his heart, but at this moment, he didn't dare to speak out to defend his nephew, for fear that Hongqing would take advantage of the situation and involve him too, so he could only look away with a dark face, pretending not to see Tasi'an's extremely sad eyes for help.
