This is the first time that King Meng Yeqi of Qi has been in contact with the political envoy of Daiming County, and he didn't expect the other party to be so old-fashioned, and he suddenly threw out an extremely serious question: "Are you Meng Yeqi, King of Qi?" I've heard of you, I've heard that you're very capable, you've done a lot of things, and you've come here to arrest me, and I think I can't escape many things, but I just want to ask, am I the only one who is corrupt and perverts the law? There are many people up there who are greedy for more money than I am, and you dare to arrest me, do you dare to arrest them? ”

"What I think is that the son is guilty of the same crime as the common people, no matter how high the position he holds, as long as he is corrupt and perverts the law, I will definitely bring him to justice, of course, maybe, there are some things that cannot be implemented at this stage, but this does not mean that he will be let go." Qi Wang Meng Yeqi was faint, and his righteousness made people unable to take their eyes off.

The political envoy of Daimyo County pondered slightly, and then said, "Then I ask you to tell me, what evidence do you have?" You've found a couple of people at the moment, and I'm going to see what you know. ”

"What I have found out at present is that there is no drought in Daimyo County, but you have applied to the imperial court for relief grain under the pretense of drought and sold it to Linxian County at a high price, making a profit of as much as 52,350 taels. Qi King Meng Yeqi is 1510, and he remembers the numbers very well, because this amount is really shocking.

The political envoy of Daimyo County sighed, and then said: "You are really attentive, that is, to investigate the matter so carefully, well, I am asking you, you are in mine, how much silver did you find in my treasury?" Is there 10,000 taels or 9,000 taels? ”

"I've been to your treasury, and your silver is less than three thousand, and as far as I know, you don't have any special hobbies, you don't like to play with curiosities, and your family lives very ordinary, so I wonder where the money went?" Qi King Meng Yeqi came straight out of the results of his investigation, and immediately looked at the political envoy of Daimyo County with an expectant face.

The eyes of the political envoy of the Daimyo County lit up, and he immediately smiled: "You and I are corrupt and pervert the law, but you have not found so much evidence in my wealth, so you are not guilty of this crime against me at all, I am not greedy at all, and yours is all unwarranted, am I so convinced?" ”

"I don't accept it, to use a not-so-good analogy, just like a bee, it flies around, flies to the mountains, flies in the ground, and steps on countless nectars, he is also industrious enough. If their act of collecting honey is also a crime, then the crime they commit is also a heinous crime, but how much honey is there on the bees? Honey was still given to others, but this did not prevent the bees from committing crimes. Qi King Meng Yeqi's thoughts were clear. Yes, just because you are not in possession of the stolen goods does not deny your criminal acts.

The political envoy of the Daimyo County shrugged his shoulders and smiled indifferently: "King Meng Yeqi of Qi, you are really sharp-toothed." I've only said a word, and you have such a lot of truths, you really can. Well, less detours, let's be honest, what do you want to know? Feel free to come. From the time I started doing this, I knew that there was always a time when I would be brought to justice by you, and to be honest, I had been looking forward to this for a long time, because it was more comfortable to do these things without me trembling. ”

"Since you are doing these things with trepidation, you naturally think about the possible consequences of doing these things, in that case, why do you still do these things? If I were you, I would have refused harshly from the beginning and would never do these things. "Qi King Meng Yeqi was extremely suspicious, knowing that this matter led to a road of no return, why did he still embark on this road?

"People live in the world, everyone has their helplessness, I am the political envoy of Daimyo County, I have a lot, work to be carried out, but if you want to carry out the work, you must get the support of your superiors, and if you want to get the support of your superiors, you must do something against your will. I also can't help it, do you think I want to do these things? And what else have I done besides these things? However, I have a good reputation in Daimyo Prefecture, and everyone thinks that I am a good official, and in the final analysis, I just deceived the imperial court, but I have done enough good things for the people. The political envoy of Daimyo Prefecture was like this, and his expression was very calm, and he looked like he was willing to go to hell for the sake of the people.

Qi Wang Meng Yeqian sighed, and then said: "I don't deny that you have indeed made some political achievements in Daming County, and there are many people who like you very much, and even called you Master Qingda, but some things cannot be denied, for example, you have caused other people's families to be ruined, such as your family's teacher, how his sister died, I don't need me to remind you I think you should also know." ”

"Your investigation is really thorough, it's just detailed, even this old thing has been investigated by you, I really have nothing to say, okay, I plead guilty." The political envoy of Daimyo County further said: "I plead guilty, but I don't admit defeat, I don't think I have done anything wrong in my life, just like the sister of Mr. Teaching you mentioned, I don't think I'm sorry for him, we just got what we need, people who do great things will inevitably kill some innocent people, this kind of thing is, it's really hard to avoid happening, I don't regret it." ”

Qi King Meng Yeqi's eyes became dark, and he immediately sneered: "If all major events need the blood of Ming, and white will raise them into red, then those so-called auspicious red events?" Don't do it. The political envoy of Daimyo Prefecture also asked you to answer my question honestly, where did the silver you obtained go? ”

"Are you sure you want to know? If the truth is cruel, can you accept it? I think you shouldn't be able to, because the place where the silver ends up going is a place around you. There was a cruel smile on the corner of the mouth of the political envoy of Daimyo Prefecture, which was really extremely cruel and made people shudder.

Qi Wang Meng Yeqi smiled at the corner of his mouth, very firmly: "I only do things right, not people, no matter what kind of relationship that person has with me?" As long as he violates the law, I will definitely bring him to justice, and I have asked my father before I came, and my father made it clear that there is no cap on this incident, but if there is a crime, he will definitely deal with it. ”

"All the money I collected fell into the hands of the prince, of course, I did not have direct contact with the prince, but through layers of officials. The money was finally collected in the hands of the Prime Minister, who counted it and made a list and gave it to the Prince. The prince looked at it, and after finding that it was correct, he asked the prime minister to arrange for it to be used in person. The political envoy of the Daimyo County came out coldly and the truth, he stared at the King of Qi Meng Yeqi, wanting to see a trace of uneasiness on his face. What disappointed him was that from the beginning to the end, King Meng Yeqi of Qi had a calm face and never changed color at all.

In fact, Qi King Meng Yeqi didn't seem so indifferent, he was very nervous, although there were some facts, he already had phosphorus in his heart, but when the other party completely revealed it without reservation, he was still shocked. His elder brother, his prince's brother, actually built another court outside the imperial court, and openly stole the money of the imperial court, how can this kind of thing not be shocking and heartbreaking?
