Chapter 604: Committing a crime against the wind

Just when Wei Shuo and the cabinet looked away from the battle of public opinion and focused all their energy on fighting disasters and controlling locusts, they did not expect another unexpected incident to interrupt the original plan. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

On this day, Taiwan's real estate, which is in charge of the General Supervision Administration, secretly reported to Wei Shuo that there was a major suspicion of corruption within the household department, and some people took advantage of this natural disaster to make a lot of money.

"Guojun, if someone is corrupt, why don't you just send someone to investigate?"

Wei Shuo looked at Taiwan in confusion, and he was very satisfied with the work of Taiwan's right-hand man. He has been in charge of the inspection system for many years, and every year officials are investigated and punished by the Ombudsman for various problems. Corruption cases like this have their own laws to punish them, and few cases are handed over to Wei Shuo for handling without investigation and arrest.

"This ...... This, this! "Taiwan wants to say and stops, obviously there is something unspeakable.

Seeing this, Wei Shuo's heart suddenly moved, but he said quietly: "Is it that the person who committed the crime has a special identity?" ”

"The King is wise." Only then did Taiwan breathe a sigh of relief and quietly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

"Oh? What kind of person actually made Tai Guojun, who is known as the 'Iron Mask Imperial History', helpless? ”

"This person's surname is Pei, he was born in the Pei clan in Hedong, and he is a member of the princess's family." Taiwan confided word by word.

"Huh?!" Wei Shuo's eyes flashed, it turned out that this case involved Princess Pei Yinger, no wonder even Taiwanese properties, which have always had a reputation for uprightness, did not dare to make decisions on their own.

Looking at Wei Shuo, whose face was uncertain, Taiwan said cautiously: "Back to the king, this case involves the royal family, and the General Supervision Administration does not dare to take the liberty of filing a case, so it is reported layer by layer, and the lord is asked to decide in person." ”

"Humph! Hey, hey, hey......" Hearing this, a sneer appeared on the corner of Wei Shuo's mouth, he understood Taiwan's approach. Not to mention what this matter has to do with his wife Pei Yinger, even if it doesn't matter, just one surname Pei is enough to make Taiwan like a great enemy.

Wei Shuo knew that the Pei family in Hedong was known as the No. 1 wealthy family in Yan Country because of Pei Wei and Pei Yinger, and its power was far beyond Taiwan's imagination, which was also the main reason why Taiwan did not dare to act rashly. Not to mention the influence of Pei Wei and Pei Yinger, the Pei family alone is enough to make Taiwan be careful.

Although it is possible that his wife Pei Ying'er is involved, Wei Shuo pondered for a while, and quickly made up his mind, he solemnly picked up the documents on the case, and instructed on it: "The state has national laws, and the family has family rules, although the matter involves the royal family, but the royal family is guilty of the same crime as the common people!" The department shall immediately investigate and deal with it impartially in accordance with the system, and shall not disclose the slightest leak until the investigation is completed. ”

"Guojun, since the widow has entrusted you with the responsibility of the Inspectorate General, he has a lot of trust in you, and I hope that you will continue to maintain an iron-faced and selfless style in the future and contribute to the rule of clean officials. The stakes are high in this case, and I leave it to you personally, and I hope you will not let me down. ”

"Please rest assured, the minister will send someone to investigate, and report to the king as soon as there is news."

"Well, good, let's get to work!"

After sending off Taiwan, Wei Shuo still frowned and sat in his chair silently, obviously still not completely relieved.

At this time, Zhang Erlang stepped forward and said, "If Brother Wang is not at ease, why don't you send a junior brother to the Ministry of Internal Security to conduct a secret investigation?" ”

"No, the secret agents of the Ministry of Internal Security (formerly the Department of the Guards and Soldiers) must not meddle in government affairs!"

Wei Shuo did not hesitate to reject Zhang Erlang's suggestion, although the mobilization of secret agents of the guard army can investigate the corruption case in the shortest possible time, but this case will cause endless disasters. In Yan State, there are certainly two spy systems under the Privy Council's Scout Department and the secret agent managed by the Ministry of Internal Security, but Wei Shuo has never used spies for government affairs.

"Why?" Zhang Erlang was puzzled.

"Erlang, you have to remember that neither the spy nor the scout is allowed to meddle in government affairs, and those who violate the order will not be killed! The introduction of the spy system into government affairs will lay the root of the bane, and there will never be a spy rule in the Yan Kingdom. ”

After teaching Zhang Biao a lesson, Wei Shuo dealt with a few more government affairs, then left the political hall and came to the princess in the backyard of the palace.

Seeing Wei Shuo's arrival, Princess Pei Yinger was very happy and came out with a large number of palace maids to greet her. Wei Shuo stepped forward to help her up, and the two walked into the room together.

As soon as he entered the door, Wei Shuo saw his little daughter Wei Chan who was sleeping on the crib.

Xiao Weichan was taking a nap at this time, looking at the cute appearance of her daughter, Wei Shuo couldn't help but smile, he glanced at Pei Ying'er beside him and said, "This daughter is as beautiful as me!" ”

Hearing this, Pei Ying'er glanced at Wei Shuo, who was scolding, and said, "The king is actually laughing, can he still marry someone in the future if he looks like the king?" ”

Wei Shuo walked to the side of the bed and saw that the little guy was lying on the bed with his head on his head at some point, and a small pool of saliva even flowed from the corner of his mouth......

The palace maid in charge of the care found out and hurriedly came over to turn Xiao Weichan over gently. I didn't expect the little guy to give no face at all, as soon as the palace maid put it down, she turned over and became like that again.

Seeing this, Wei Shuo couldn't help laughing, stretched out his palm and gently slapped her little buttocks, causing Pei Ying'er to roll her eyes in anger at him.

Leaving his youngest daughter's crib, Wei Shuo sat at the table, looked at Pei Ying'er, who was busy with work, and asked casually, "Have any relatives from the clan come over recently?" How are you doing at home? ”

Pei Ying'er didn't doubt him, thinking that her husband was related to her diet and daily life, and replied: "The concubine just has something to tell her husband, and I don't know what is going on. Because they are all children of the family, it is not easy for the concubine to refuse directly. ”

"Oh? Is it? What did they say? Wei Shuo asked quietly.

"I didn't say anything except for the family routine, but the concubine has always kept in mind the teachings of the husband, and all the relatives who come to visit will not accept the rest of the money, fields, treasures, etc., except for the general local products."

Sigh! Although Wei Shuo had always had great confidence in Pei Yinger before, he didn't dare to pack a ticket before the matter was confirmed, and Pei Yinger was not involved. It wasn't until he just listened to Pei Yinger's words that he relieved himself, it seems that his wife should have nothing to do with the household corruption case.

"Well, you're doing a good job! If you receive money from others, you will inevitably be begged to do things, if it is legal and reasonable to help, it doesn't matter if you stretch out your hand, I'm afraid that someone will break the law and discipline outside in the name of you and me, and do evil. ”

Pei Ying'er's figure was stunned, and she looked at Wei Shuo with hindsight and said, "Husband, is there something wrong with someone in the Pei family?" ”

Mrs. really guessed wisely, and just received a report from Guojun, saying that Pei Guan, the head of the household department, was very likely to resell materials during the disaster relief period to make a fortune for the country. Now I have asked Guojun to send someone to investigate, so he is from the Pei clan in Hedong, and he is worried that someone will act in the name of his wife. ”

"Pei Guan?" Pei Ying'er tried to think about it for a while and said: "This name is a little familiar, let the concubine think about it, well, I remember...... A few days ago, Pei Guan did come to visit the concubine and brought several carts of gifts, but the concubine did not accept it, but returned it to him intact. Other than that, the concubine never had any relationship with him. ”

"The concubine is not afraid of shadows, let the people from the Supervision Office go and investigate."

"Of course I believe that Madame is innocent, but this time the perpetrator is from the Pei family, and those who don't know the truth will inevitably have other associations, if it damages Madame's reputation in the end, won't the gains outweigh the losses?"

Wei Shuo thought for a moment and said: "It's better to be like this, Madam takes advantage of the fact that the big case has not yet been revealed, so she might as well summon the children of the Pei family first, educate them publicly, and ask your relatives to abide by the law." When Pei Guan is punished in the future, the impact of the case on his wife will be minimized. ”

"Okay, just what Ifu-kun said."

"Alas, I originally thought that the world was about to be peaceful, and I should always enjoy life, but I didn't expect all kinds of pickled things to happen."

Wei Shuo looked at Pei Ying'er, who was tired, and hugged her into her arms with some distress and comforted: "Don't worry, madam, everything has its own husband and monarch." Not to mention that Mrs. was not involved this time, even if there is a slight connection with Mrs., I will not let outsiders hurt Ying'er. ”

"The concubine doesn't know what good things she did in her previous life, but she is so favored by her husband in this life!" Pei Ying'er said with a happy face.

"You are my wife, I am your husband, I don't protect you? Who else can protect you? Not only Ying'er, but I will also protect the children when they grow up in the future. (To be continued.) )
