Zuo Shaoyang said: "Now that the matter is over, I can only wait, Lord Liu should come to me to investigate, and when the time comes, I will tell him what happened." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Okay, let's not talk about this matter for now, by the way, you rushed back this time, what is the matter in a hurry? ”

"Emperor Taizu is seriously ill!" Sun Simiao said in a deep voice.

"Huh? Does it matter? ”

"Well, it's tricky!"

"What disease?"

"A lot of diseases, Emperor Taizu has been fighting for many years, and he has become ill from hard work, and his illness, coupled with the fact that several princes have turned against each other in order to compete for the throne, and their flesh and blood have killed each other, which has greatly hurt his physical and mental will."

"And what's going on now?"

"Not so good."

Zuo Shaoyang wanted to say that he could help go to the consultation, but he immediately thought that he was now ordered by the current emperor Li Shimin to personally take charge of the case to investigate the embezzlement of medical funds, and his butt had not been wiped clean, how could he help others? What's more, this is Li Yuan, the father of the current emperor Li Shimin, if he is cured well, he is not cured, and he is afraid that there will be more black pots on his back!

Therefore, Zuo Shaoyang diverted the topic and asked, "What about Prime Minister Du Ruhui Du?" What is his condition? ”

Speaking of this topic, Sun Simiao's expression was slightly relaxed, and he smiled: "Du Ruhui is very stubborn, this time the medicine you gave was given to him by Du Jing, and I don't know what method was used, Du Ruhui took it very cooperatively, and now, the condition has improved significantly, a few days ago I went to give him a follow-up visit, and found that his coughing up blood has been significantly reduced, his sleep and diet are good, and his cough is much lighter." His condition is gradually improving, and when he sees me, he always can't stop praising your medical skills! ”

Zuo Shaoyang was happy: "Zihe car is a good thing, it can treat many diseases, and it has a great tonic effect." Medicine, as long as it can cure diseases, to explore what is the origin of these medicines, and what is the meaning? I don't know if it's not the same to eat. Prime Minister Du is surnamed Ge Tai, in fact, the medicine given to him is the same as before, but this time, in order to reassure him, the woman's coating is crushed into powder like other medicines, and he can't see it, so he won't feel disgusted. Hehehe......"

Sun Simiao's expression suddenly became grim, and he said in a deep voice: "The medicine you gave Prime Minister Du still has the flavor of Ziheche?" ”

"yes."

At that time, Sun Simiao had already left Quzhou to open a branch library in a neighboring state and county, so Du Jing sent a family member to find him, and Sun Simiao didn't know about Zuo Shaoyang grinding the medicine into powder and bringing it back.

Sun Simiao's face was cloudy, and the room turned around several times before he stood up and said in a low voice: "The matter has come to this, you must not tell Prime Minister Du about this, otherwise, alas, the consequences are unpredictable!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang was shocked, and said: "Du Jing said, he will persuade his cousin Prime Minister Du Ruhui to take the medicine, I just need to dispense the medicine to him, and leave the rest of the things to her to deal with." ”

"Do you really believe that?"

"Well...... is there something wrong?"

Sun Simiao shook his head: "I'm just worried, because I know Du Ruhui too well, I hope this matter doesn't turn into a bad thing." ”

Zuo Shaoyang tried to squeeze out a smile: "There won't be anything, right?" ”

"Hopefully!" Sun Simiao thought for a while and said, "Forget it, this matter is left alone for the time being, in short, you don't tell him the truth." When he asked you, you said vaguely, don't tell him that there is a purple river car in the medicine! ”

"Okay."

"I will report to the emperor about the embezzlement of medical funds. You should return the money you received to the Foundation first, without further ado. Minimize the impact. ”

"I understand."

After sending Sun Simiao away, Zuo Shaoyang sat in the lobby for a long time, and then he was dejected and asked Qiao Qiaoer to bring the money sent by the foundation and prepare to return it to the foundation.

However, after the money was delivered, Zuo Shaoyang was dumbfounded, full of ten boxes, layered on top of each other, piled up like a hill, and opened, all of them were silver ingots with white flowers!

Zuo Shaoyang was dumbfounded and asked, "How many?" ”

"A full 100,000 taels!"

That's the equivalent of 500 million RMB! Zuo Shaoyang vaguely felt uneasy in his heart and asked, "Huh?" Why so many? ”

"I don't know, they say this is what you deserve."

If I come back later, I don't know how much more money will be paid. 100,000 taels! It's only been a few months, no wonder others will scold themselves for enriching their own pockets, and this filling of their own pockets is too ruthless.

Zuo Shaoyang looked at the boxes of silver ingots piled up like a hill, as if he had seen countless monsters, his eyes were shining at him, he felt a panic in his heart, and hurriedly called Ding Xiaosan over, and asked him to immediately notify Du Jing and all the people of the Foundation to come to the house and move the money away!

Du Jing brought Du Tent, Ji Operator, Qiu Yiju, and Hou Pu, as well as a number of members and staff of the Foundation, almost all of them came. brought more than a dozen carriages, first said that there was no need to return them, but Zuo Shaoyang insisted on returning, so he had to let the account room register the money and property one by one in the account book, signed by Zuo Shaoyang, and then loaded and transported away.

The entire ten boxes of silver were finally transported away, and Zuo Shaoyang's heart slowly relaxed. Qiao Qiao'er held Zuo Shaoyang's hand, but her heart was still jumping like a rabbit, and she didn't know why she was flustered.

Zuo Guiding's Guizhitang opened three days later. In the past three days, Zuo Shaoyang didn't go anywhere, so he stayed at home and quietly waited for Liu Zhenghui, the secretary of the Criminal Department, to find himself to investigate.

Sun Simiao went to the palace several times to meet the emperor, but the war in northern Xinjiang suddenly became tense, the Turkic army was engaged in a fierce battle with the Tang army, and the emperor was dealing with the emergency military situation all night, and he had no time to take care of anything else, Sun Simiao could not see the emperor.

The battle in the north is raging, and Liu Zhenghui's investigation is also going on step by step, Zuo Shaoyang has not been able to wait for Liu Zhenghui's investigation in the past few days, but the people under the foundation have been summoned by the Criminal Department for interrogation one by one, and some of them have been tortured and beaten to the core.

Hou Pu was also called, and he was almost the last to be called, except for Zuo Shaoyang, of course.

When Hupp returned, his face was as gloomy as death, and when he entered the house, he shut himself up without saying a word. No one can open it. The fennel was so anxious that she only wiped her tears.

At night, Zuo Shaoyang couldn't hold it anymore, walked to the front of his brother-in-law's house, and slammed the door: "Brother-in-law, what happened?" Speak up and let's figure it out together! ”

After Zuo Shaoyang screamed a few times, the door opened with a bang, Hou Pu glanced at Zuo Shaoyang, without saying a word, turned around and walked back to the stool next to the round table and sat down, picked up the tea, drank it in one gulp, and shook his sleeves without wind.

Zuo Shaoyang sat beside him and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Hou Pu was silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "Lord Liu, you want me to ...... Report your crimes, or else punish my comrades!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang gasped: "My crime? What crime? ”

"Embezzlement of the emperor's reward and the donation of Du Yan and other ministers to help the people!"

"Didn't you tell him? These were Du King's ideas! ”

"That's it! Lord Liu didn't believe it, and said that I was helping you make a confession! It is my decision to say that I am the general ledger and that I am making false accounts, and that I have conspired with you to do this. ”

"Fart!" Zuo Shaoyang said angrily, "Why didn't he ask Du Jing, and after asking Du Jing, wouldn't everything be clear?" ”

Hou Pu turned his head to look at him, his eyes were full of despair: "Da Lang, Du Jing, this kid is not human!" ”

"What?" Zuo Shaoyang faintly felt bad.

"He had a meeting that day, and all the words he said at the meeting were reversed, saying that all this was your idea, and it was explained before you left, and he could only do it."

"Hehe," Zuo Shaoyang smiled, "There was a meeting that day, not only me and him, but all of us present heard it." He said it was his idea! ”

He admitted that he said so at the time, he explained, that is because he respects you, because you have treated his father, and also cured his cousin Prime Minister Du's illness, he knows that this matter is not good, but you confess like this, he can only do it, and now you don't want to admit it, because you may be in trouble, he took the initiative to help you take the blame in order to thank you, and in the case of repeated interrogation and threat of torture by Lord Liu, he told the so-called 'truth', saying that everything is your master. All of this was your idea, and it was arranged before you left. ”

Zuo Shaoyang trembled with anger: "Is this Lord Liu a pig?" Doesn't he investigate others? ”

"After investigating, Du Tent Fang, Ji Operator, including your Qiu Yiju in the same year, all testified that you confessed like this before you left, and no one else could say clearly. Only my statement is different, I said that there is absolutely no such thing, Lord Liu decided that I was helping you, and I was going to torture me, but Du Jing helped me speak, and asked Lord Liu to give me a day to think about it, and Ming said that I would go to be interrogated, and if I didn't tell the truth, I would be tortured. If I abscond in fear of crime, I will go to sea to catch me and arrest me......"

Zuo Shaoyang clenched his fists and slammed it on the table: "Bastard, I understand, this surnamed Liu is standing up for the old lady doctor!" Communiqué personal vendetta, want to take the opportunity to kill me! Hmph, he didn't look for me directly, but first collected all the so-called criminal evidence on the periphery, and then came to me, so that he could frame me! ”

Hou Pu nodded slowly: "That's right!" Therefore, I decided, Ming said, I will not frame you if I die! ”

Zuo Shaoyang said: "Brother-in-law, thank you, don't worry, there is still a little time, I will go to find my senior brother, I must see the emperor and explain things clearly!" ”

Hou Pu said: "The emperor is busy with Turkic warfare today, I'm afraid, I don't have time to see your senior brother, your senior brother should be very anxious about this matter, and he should think of all the ways he can think of." ”

Zuo Shaoyang also knew that what he said was the truth, after thinking about it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought of Princess Yongjia, she should be able to see the emperor, for the sake of Xiao Yunfei's face, she should come forward to protect herself, no matter what, she can't let her relatives suffer for herself! Find Xiao Yun to fly!

Thinking of this, Zuo Shaoyang said: "I'll find a way, brother-in-law, you don't have to worry." want to fix us,
