Chapter 373: The Second Crisis
Ji Fa himself didn't expect that his second crisis would come so quickly, and it was only three days before the banquet with Ji Chang and the head of the Liu family that day.
On this day, above the court meeting of the Xiqi royal court, the official in charge of the treasury wanted Ji Chang to tell Ji Chang that the money in the palace was different from the accounts, and there was a difference of two million yuan. For a while, the court was in an uproar.
This time, the spearhead is naturally still pointed at Ji Fa.
Xiqi's finances have always been personally managed by Ji Chang, and the treasury is the foundation of Xiqi, so it is naturally most reassuring for him to manage it personally. But when he received the order to go to Chaoge, he knew that he would be bound for a long time, so he handed over the management of the treasury to the prince Ji Kao.
Ji Kao has managed Xiqi for more than two years, and he has been stable and stable, and there has been no mistake. And when he went to Chaoge to see Ji Chang last year, it was in June, when the autumn harvest was approaching, and when the treasury was in the account, he handed over the temporary management of the treasury to Ji Fa, the second prince who took him to supervise the country.
Every time the treasury is handed over, the finances will be counted and the accounts will be checked, which is a matter of principle, and under the strict system of Xiqi, even fathers and sons and brothers will not ignore it.
Therefore, since he did not raise a question when Ji Kao handed over the treasury to Ji Fa that day, and Ji Fa had a problem after returning the treasury to Ji Chang this time, then this problem can only be with Ji Fa. Of course, no one would believe that King Ji Chang of Zhou Wen would be greedy for the money in the treasury of the Mo Mansion.
Two million yuan is definitely not a small amount, you must know that the annual tax revenue of Xiqi City is only more than 60 million, although this money is not enough to shake the foundation of Xiqi, but it is by no means a loss that can be lost.
This time, Ji Fa is really in trouble.
Zhou Wen Wang Jichang ruled the country with virtue, and the most important thing was the virtue of officials, and greed for ink was the first serious crime after rebellion, and it should be beheaded according to the law.
Of course, such a thing is in the body of the prince Ji Fa, and the capital crime is definitely impossible, but it is absolutely impossible to spare it, breaking two legs is already the lightest punishment, otherwise Ji Chang will not be able to explain to the people of Xiqi. Of course, such a person is naturally impossible to be entrusted with important tasks by Ji Chang, and the position of the prince naturally does not need to be thought about.
There is no doubt that this poisonous plan was naturally set up by Shen Gongbao and Bai Jian, and for the two earth immortal cultivators, going to the treasury to steal money is naturally like searching for things.
Of course, Ji Fa knew that he was wronged, but at this time, he couldn't argue, and now that he thinks about it, it must be Ji Dan who will set up a poison plan for the position of the prince, but he can't figure out how Ji Dan stole the money in the treasury.
Ji Chang was naturally furious about this, and immediately ordered Ji Fa to be grounded in the mansion, and ordered the sixth son Ji Zheng to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Ji Zheng is a concubine, and Ji Fa and Ji Dan are not from the same mother, although the status is low, but he is extraordinary, he is one of the four sages and eight handsome, and he is proficient in calculation, and he thoroughly investigates this matter, but it is the most suitable.
Ji Zheng received the king's order, did not dare to slack off, immediately closed the treasury, while personally checking the accounts of the treasury again, and on the other hand, sent people to find the officials who managed the treasury for Ji Fa at the beginning, which was a two-pronged approach.
The results of the two events soon came out, the tax revenue from last autumn's harvest was two million dollars missing, and what was even more strange was that the official who managed the treasury for Ji Fa had left home two days earlier, and it was difficult to find a trace of the whole city's guards.
This time, it was confirmed that Ji Fa was greedy for money from the Mofu Treasury, and since the official couldn't find a trace, he must have been killed by Ji Fa, and he didn't know where he was buried in an inaccessible place.
As soon as the results came out, the wind direction in the court changed again, Ji Fa was so bold that he even dared to be greedy for money in the treasury, and now that the facts are there, no one can protect him. Even Ji Chang's princess only dared to come forward to ask Ji Chang to reduce his son's guilt, but he didn't dare to say anything else.
Although Ji Chang was angry at this time, he also felt a little puzzled, and he really couldn't understand why Ji Fa would do such an unwise thing, so he issued an edict to interrogate Ji Fa in court three days later, asking him to tell the whereabouts of the two million money in front of the ministers.
At this time, in fact, most of the courtiers still believed in Ji Fa's grievances, but now there is no evidence, but they dare not have anyone to avenge him.
Huang Xue has been diligent in cultivation these days, and she feels that her cultivation is quite advanced, and she faintly seems to be about to break through the bottleneck, so she cuts off the news from the outside world and retreats in the mansion. When she got out of the customs, she learned that Ji Fa had an accident again, and at this time, there were only two days before the day of the trial.
She knew the means of expounding the teachings, so she naturally guessed the clues of the matter, and Bacheng was inseparable from Bai Jian and Shen Gongbao, and she sighed in her heart. For the sake of the position of the prince, the appearance of the food is becoming more and more ugly, and he does not hesitate to steal the money in the treasury, which is simply indiscriminate to the extreme.
It's just that this method is too dirty, and it is not easy to crack it, and it is difficult to exonerate Ji Fa without evidence. But in the same way, the exposition of teachings used such means also further illustrated the importance of the position of the prince, but also aroused Huang Xue's fighting spirit even more.
Until today, in fact, the exposition of the teachings is still used by some court means, it can be said that they have not used all their strength, if they can't even resolve these, then in the future, they will be more difficult to stop. In the current situation, no matter what, he must ensure that Ji Fa ascends to the position of the son of the world, so that he can let the exposition of the sect return.
Recently, she has made great progress in cultivation, her mind is refreshed, and her mind is even clearer, and after pondering for a long time, she already has a plan in her heart.
Now that time waits for no one, she didn't hesitate, and immediately called someone in and asked him to pass on the doctor San Yisheng to see him.
San Yisheng has also been anxious about Ji Fa's affairs recently, and he is anxious to think of a rescue strategy, but he has been suffering to no avail. Hearing Huang Xue's summons, he remembered Huang Xue's wisdom and had some expectations in his heart, so he hurriedly rushed to the mansion.
After the two of them met the ceremony, Huang Xue said: "Doctor, this palace has only been recuperating for a few days, why did Second Brother Ji have an accident there? ”
San Yisheng smiled bitterly: "Niangniang Mingjian, we all know that the second prince has no reason to be greedy for ink, and someone must have planted the blame." But the means of the person who blamed the trouble are too clever, so I can't find the slightest clue, and now, I ask the mother to come to the rescue. ”
Huang Xue said with a smile: "This palace also thinks that Second Brother Ji will not do such a thing, and now that I call you here, I naturally want to discuss a rescue method." ”
San Yisheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Niangniang's wisdom is unparalleled in the world, but there is a way to rescue the second prince?" It's just that now that the second prince is grounded in the mansion, we can't see each other at all, but we can't do anything if we want to find out the grievances for him. ”
Huang Xue said leisurely: "The other party resorted to such a method, although it is a bit of a headache, but in fact, it is not difficult to crack, but it is only when you think in the wrong direction that the authorities will be confused." Now, this palace might as well mention you. ”
San Yisheng's spirit was shocked, and he hurriedly said: "Please also ask Niangniang to teach." ”
Huang Xue smiled faintly, but she had already said the method in her heart, and San Yisheng was first shocked when he heard this, and then he was stunned. The two discussed for more than an hour before he returned to his house with a smile on his face to prepare.
