Chapter 671: The Unlucky Zhao Fengzhao (2)
Where did the money go? I don't know, not only Zhao Fengzhao himself can't say clearly, others are also confused, even the "sharp knife" rudder that can be regarded as a powerful person has not yet figured out the situation, only knows that the treasurer of the treasury silver died of a sudden illness shortly before Su Keji was on the bullet seal, and he didn't explain anything before he died, his family believed in Buddhism, and the body had already been cremated, whether this person died of illness or was killed by someone, there is no way to judge, and there is nowhere to trace it, and now, the whereabouts of the silver have become a mystery, Rao is "sharp knife" is strong, and he has been investigated for more than half a month. There are only a few unconfirmed clues, and it is obviously not easy to trace them down.
I'll take it, what's called a hot potato, that's it!
After Hongqing read the summary of the case recorded in the booklet at a glance, he was really unhappy in his heart, and he didn't have much interest in the corruption of Shanxi officials in the second half of the booklet, so he looked at it casually, and put this booklet into his sleeve. Some radical measures are obviously not easy to use, otherwise, even if the case is settled, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the possibility of being hanged!
"Lao He has worked hard, these days to focus on checking the whereabouts of the silver, and again, to check the deficit of Shanxi treasury silver in detail, in addition, to closely monitor the movements of Su Keji, and report directly if there is any situation."
Although he was not very satisfied with the inspection situation reported by He Tao, Hongqing did not show it, and after reading the booklet, he just simply admonished him.
"Yes, my subordinates obey!"
Although Hongqing never had any words of reproach, He Tao knew that this mission was really good, and he couldn't help but feel guilty and guilty in his heart, and his old face was as red as blood.
"Hmm."
Hongqing did not give an eviction order, but nodded thoughtfully, strode to the copywriter, stretched out his hand, picked up the wolf pen resting on the pen stand, dipped it in ink, and waved the pen on a piece of white paper to write quickly, and at the end, he dried the ink, waved his hand, called He Tao to the front, and commanded in a deep voice: "Old He, you can take this letter Qilin firm', find Zhao shopkeeper to withdraw 10,000 taels of silver for this investigation of the funds, don't be afraid of spending money, if it's not enough, just withdraw it first, be sure to find out where the silver goes, hey, more than 300,000 taels of silver, even if you use a cart to pull, it is enough to get nearly 100 cars, it is impossible not to leave a trace, this king does not believe that this silver can still grow wings and fly! ”
"Wow!"
He Tao didn't know how important this case was to Hongqing, but seeing Hongqing's cold face at this time, he wouldn't be able to see the strict nature of the problem, so he dared to take it lightly, so he hurriedly bowed down and agreed.
"Go ahead, report the news immediately!"
Now that the things that should be explained have been explained clearly, Hongqing is upset, and he will not stay with He Tao more, and after a simple order, he sent him away.
"Yes, the subordinates are retired!"
Hongqing had already issued an order to evict the guests, He Tao did not dare to delay a little, and bowed respectfully, and then withdrew from the room.
Old Thirteen, Old Thirteen, you kid really gave us a big problem!
Although before coming to Taiyuan, Hongqing had already expected the complexity of the case, but when he really got to the ground, he realized that the difficulty of the case was much more severe than expected, I really can't tolerate Hongqing to retreat, so I can only take one step at a time......
"Ah......h
At three o'clock, the sun had just risen for a short time, the dew on the leaves reflected a little bit of bright light, Su Keji, who was dressed in pajamas, pushed the door out slowly, stretched his waist fiercely, his mouth was wide open, and a yawn was really quite imposing.
"Master, master, it's not good, it's not good......"
Things in this world are always happy and sad, no, before Su Keji's yawn was finished, he saw a subordinate running in a hurry, panting and shouting.
"Ga ......, bastard, your lord and I are very good, dog!"
Frightened by the shouting subordinate, Su Keji's yawn was choked before he finished playing, and in a fit of rage, he shook his hand and gave the subordinate a heavy ear scraper, and scolded angrily.
"Hey, sir, the prince has arrived, and he is waiting outside the yamen, ...... you?"
Although the subordinate screamed in pain, he didn't dare to miss the matter, and hurriedly explained it.
"Ah......, quick, come on, change clothes, change clothes!"
Su Keji originally planned to use the breakfast, and then go to the post station with all the officials to ask Hongqing for peace, who thought that Hongqing actually ran by himself, if he really let Hongqing wait outside the yamen for a long time, it would be a great crime to bully the king, no side, Hongqing is now the prince of Qincha, and the representative is the old man Kangxi, no matter how tired Su Keji is of Hongqing, it can't be a little rude, this hearing the subordinate say this, he was anxious on the spot, and he yelled urgently, he didn't care, The entire backyard of the yamen should be messed up.
"Xiaguan knocks to see the prince!"
After a flustered busyness, Su Keji finally finished dressing, ran to the yamen in three steps and two steps, and when he got out of the lobby, he found that Hongqing had already gotten off the carriage, standing at the yamen with a slight frown, his face was as cold as if he was frozen.
"Master Su is so Yaxing, how long has it been, haven't you woken up yet?"
Su Keji's courtesy was very respectful, but Hongqing did not give him a very good look because of this, not only did he not call out, but coldly ridiculed him.
"The prince laughed, the lower officials just delayed some housework, and they couldn't come in time to greet the prince, ashamed, ashamed."
As soon as he heard Hongqing's words, Su Keji's heart couldn't help but be a little more empty, no side, according to the law, the local government must start to be a director, if it is violated, it is dereliction of duty, it is to eat the bullet chapter, of course, the law is the law, there are really few people in the officials all over the world who can obey it, the big guys are just such fools, but there is a prerequisite, that is, don't be caught, in front of Hongqing such a "butcher of officialdom", how dare Su Keji admit his mistakes, can only make up a reason to prevaricate.
"Master Su is really busy, he can't even wash his face, and he comes out to greet this king with his face full of feces, hey, admit it."
Hongqing is here to find fault today, otherwise, he would not have entered the city early in the morning, in order to suppress Su Keji's momentum first, and now he grabbed the handle, how could he let him pass the pass lightly, and said sarcastically without mercy.
"The lower official has lost his honor, ashamed, ashamed."
Hearing Hongqing's words, Su Keji's old face immediately turned red, and he hurriedly lowered his head, hurriedly took out a white silk from his sleeve, and wiped the corners of his eyes a few times.
"That's it, lead the way, this king is going to meet Zhao Fengzhao."
It is said that although Su Keji's misdeeds will not be disgraced, it is more than enough to give a punishment, but Hongqing did not intend to do so, he raised it high, but put it down gently, and did not dwell on this matter much, and with a wave of his hand, he commanded in an unquestionable tone.
"Ah, this ......"
As soon as Hongqing's words came out, Su Keji was stunned, there was no other way, he knew that Hongqing was coming, in the past half a month, Su Keji had given a death order, to use a big punishment on Zhao Fengzhao at the end of the prison, and to force Zhao Fengzhao to admit that he was corrupt, in order to make this case an iron case, but Zhao Fengzhao didn't know where he learned about Hongqing's future reversal of the case, and he refused to give in. The consequences are really hard to say, and Su Keji can't be free without panicking.
"What? Do you have any objections, huh? ”
Su Keji hesitated like this, and Hongqing's face that had just eased down suddenly became a little unpleasant, and he snorted coldly from his nostrils.
"Ah, no, it's just, hehe, it's just dirty and filthy in prison, Lord Wang, your precious body, it's really not appropriate to go lightly, if you really want to try the case, why don't you arrange one or two by the lower officials, and try it in this yamen?"
Su Keji had just had a handle in Hongqing's hands before, and when he spoke at this time, he didn't have much confidence, but he didn't want Hongqing to see Zhao Fengzhao so early, so he explained with a smile and played a trick to delay the army.
"It's okay, when this king was in Beijing, he didn't go to the prison to judge the case, so Master Su doesn't have to worry about it, please."
Su Keji's words are euphemistic, but the cat hidden inside is not old and young, do you really want to listen to its arrangement, yes, not three or five days, Hongqing doesn't want to see people, just find a reason, you can prevaricate, even if Hongqing comes up with the posture of Qincha, it may not be able to make Su Keji bow down and obey, if he is in a hurry, maybe Su Keji will really dare to do the trick of killing people and destroying his mouth, this kind of risk, Hongqing does not dare to take it, otherwise, how to explain to the old thirteen and the father and son of the Zhao family......
