Privately printing silver tickets is a big deal, and even if it is not considered rebellion, it is definitely a proper crime of bullying the king.

After two days of interrogation, Steward Cui, Shopkeeper Zheng and others finally couldn't bear the charges of the Nine Clans and honestly confessed.

This is exactly the result that Li Er wants, the only thing that makes him not very satisfied is that there is no Wang family, and now the most prestigious family official in the court is Wang Tong.

"Why are there no people from the Wang family?"

Li Er obviously didn't believe that the Wang family was not involved, and it was Wang Tong who vigorously opposed Qian Zhuang in the Taiji Palace.

The jailer cautiously replied: "Those who went to the money bank with fake silver tickets to exchange for cash have pointed out the person who gave them the silver tickets, and indeed there is no mention of the Wang family. ”

Wang Xiang flipped through the confession brought by the jailer and asked, "All of them have been identified?" ”

The jailer shook his head and said, "Only one person has not been identified. ”

"Who?"

"It was Zhang Dashou, who was the first to be caught, and he said that the silver ticket in his hand was picked up."

"Picked up?" Wang Xiang said with a smile: "There are a few thick stacks of silver tickets worth tens of thousands of taels, but not everyone can pick them up casually." ”

Li Er narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you think that Zhang Dashou has anything to do with the Wang family?" ”

"Eight or nine are not far from ten, everyone else can identify the person who gave them the silver ticket, the confession of Steward Cui, the shopkeeper Zheng and others can also be matched, but there is no big hand, and the silver tickets of several other companies are not wrong or missing, so where did the silver ticket in Zhang Dashou's hand come from?"

A murderous aura flashed in Li Er's eyes, and he said coldly: "I didn't expect him to be so sincere to the Wang family, and he is willing to bear the sins of the Nine Clans!" ”

Wang Xiang shook his head when he heard this, and said with a smile: "It's not necessarily that he is sincere to the Wang family. ”

"Oh? What do you mean......"

Wang Xiang asked rhetorically: "What does Your Majesty think of Wang Tong?" ”

Li Er frowned and said: "Cautious and cunning, he is the most difficult person in the family, I have tried to make him a master several times, but he usually acts well, and he is an old minister of the Three Dynasties quite prestigious." I don't want to be too reluctant. ”

Wang Xiang smiled bitterly: "It seems that what the big hand said is very likely to be true." ”

"You mean the silver ticket?" Li Er's brows furrowed even tighter.

Wang Xiang nodded and said, "It's normal to use Wang Tong's caution not to let the people of the Wang family come forward, but it's ......"

"Tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets, Zhang Dashou will not be so coincidental to be able to pick them up." Wang Xiang chuckled and said to the jailer, "Go and bring Zhang Dashou here." ”

……

When Li Er was busy interrogating Steward Cui and others, the family did not sit still.

Wang Tong was the most prestigious in the family, and he asked Wang Yuan to secretly invite the heads of each family to the Wang family.

The first one to come was Cui Hong, the old man of the Cui family, he was the most impatient one, and the Cui family bore the brunt of the silver ticket accident. Really speaking, it was only their Cui family who privately printed the silver tickets, and at this time he was most afraid that several other families would withdraw for self-preservation, and he was relieved to see that Wang Tong sent Wang Yuan to invite everyone to come and discuss countermeasures, and rushed over in a hurry.

After a while, the old men of several other families also secretly rushed to Wang's house, and the entire backyard was guarded by the Wang family's guards, and no one was allowed to enter or leave at will.

In the back hall, Cui Hong saw the old men of several other families coming, and hurriedly said, "Why did you come here." When has this been? ”

"What when? Why should we be in a hurry? The old man of the Zheng family looked indifferent.

Cui Hong's face changed, and then he saw that the old men of the other families also had the same expressions, and suddenly burst into anger: "What do you mean?" ”

The old man of the Zheng family smiled: "It's not interesting, it's your Cui family who privately printed the silver tickets, what's the matter with us?" ”

"You!"

"Okay, okay, everyone can't get out of this matter, and I invite you to come over today to discuss countermeasures together. Don't mess with yourself. ”

Wang Tong spoke, and everyone stopped arguing. Everyone sat down separately, Cui Hong's face was still not good-looking, and he said coldly: "It's still Old Man Wang who understands things, don't forget that it's not just our Cui family who was arrested." ”

The old man of the Zheng family smiled when he heard this: "Old man Wang really understands the reason, and there is no one from the Wang family who was arrested this time." ”

"Yes, it seems that the Wang family can stay out of the matter this time." The old man of the Fan family also said pointedly.

Wang Tong naturally understood the meaning of their words. His face did not change and said: "If the old man really wants to stay out of the matter, he will not invite you to come today." ”

Cui Hong was a little suspicious when he heard that no one in the Wang family had been arrested, if the Wang family also had the intention of protecting his life, he would be really in danger, and now hearing Wang Tong say this, Cui Hong finally put his mind at ease, and secretly regretted that he should not be greedy, if he did not covet the cash that was exchanged back. Naturally, there will be no handles.

Cui Hong is not the only one who regrets, but the old men of other families also regret it very much, but they really let them give up hundreds of thousands of cash, and they also know that they are reluctant.

At this point, it is useless to regret it, and the first thing to do is to discuss how to deal with it.

"Old man Wang, you have the highest prestige and the most ways to do it, how do you say to deal with this matter."

What the old man of the Zheng family said, everyone didn't think there was anything wrong, and they all looked at Wang Tong.

At this time, Wang Tong was not modest, and said after a moment of silence: "Li Shimin's throne is becoming more and more stable, and he is bent on weakening the power of our family, we should be united in the same spirit, otherwise it will be even more difficult to deal with it in the future." ”

Everyone nodded solemnly after hearing this, and Cui Hong was even more happy when he saw everyone's reaction, and asked: "Then how do we deal with it now, Li Shimin has arrested a lot of people this time." ”

Wang Tong said with a smile: "If he hadn't arrested people with such fanfare, it might not be easy to do it, but now ......"

"How?"

"In the past few days, because of the matter of Qianzhuang, people everywhere have been panicked, the fire that was lit before has not been extinguished, Li Shimin is arresting people at this time, we just need to fan it, don't talk about the fake silver ticket when the time comes, this fire can make him overwhelmed."

Cui Hong's eyes lit up: "It's still the old man Wang who has a way, I see that the people of Chang'an are now panicked and resentful." ”

"It's not just Chang'an, I'm afraid it's like this everywhere, don't forget, except for Chang'an Qianzhuang, other places don't even have cash now."

Cui Hong nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, this is the case everywhere, as long as we tease a little, Li Shimin will definitely be overwhelmed!" ”

The old man of the Zheng family was a little worried: "The person who Li Shimin captured ......?"

Wang Tong stared: "Their families are in the hands of our family, I believe they know what to do." ”

Seeing that everyone nodded and thought about it, Wang Tong said in a deep voice: "But this matter must be fast, once Li Shimin reacts and calms down the people's anger, I am afraid it will not be easy to ignite the fire again." ”

Everyone said: "Without further ado, we will go back and prepare now!" (To be continued.) )
