Chapter 65, Empty Pay

Helan Xue pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly: "Emperor Xie, the emperor is serious, where do the grass people have the courage to rob the imperial court's military rations, but their brothers have no way to serve the country and have no way to join the army, so they can only make this decision to attract the attention of the imperial court." Her voice was not loud, but everyone in the hall could hear it clearly.

Emperor Huiwen and the ministers were a little surprised, this girl is really a bold person, the Son of Heaven is majestic, that kind of pressure, even these ministers in the court often feel panicked, ordinary people have long been afraid, and whispered, although this girl has a shy face, but there is no trace of panic in her eyes and attitude.

Du Guozhong was slightly angry, there was no way to serve the country? No way out? Do you dare to talk about it again? Emperor Huiwen frowned, Yang Jiulin had said this kind of thing that day. He glanced at Du Guozhong, Jin Su, the head of the household, and Chi Haichuan, the secretary of the ministry, and said with a clear look in his eyes: Look at it, this person is here to sue the emperor.

Chen Yemin snorted: "Now that the border is constantly fighting, it is the time to employ people, and there are special personnel in the yamen in various places who are responsible for registering and making records, counting the personnel and expenditures of the army, and the imperial court allocates more than one million silver taels to various places for recruiting troops every year. It's clear gibberish to justify your banditry. ”

Wei Peng silently rolled his eyes, a handful of old people, is he really stupid or fake stupid? Forget it, just if he is a ladder for Helan Xue, someone has to answer the words, right?

Helan Xue looked at him with strange eyes, glanced at these ministers again, looked strange, and asked, "This old man, do you think we are sick?" If you don't let the good people do it, you have to find a place to be a bandit? Your child has been practicing martial arts for so many years to rob? ”

Wei Peng and Yang Jiulin still knew her poisonous tongue very well, and seeing her cowardly and shy nonsense, they couldn't hold back and didn't dare to laugh at the moment, but they were really about to hurt internally.

Among the princes who can go to court, the youngest is the fourth prince Wei Hong, who is also sixteen this year, the same age as Helan Xue, and couldn't help but ask: "Then why did you become a thief again?" ”

Helan Xue's face was reasonable, but her voice was soft and soft: "Eye-catching!" They went to join the army, but they were informed that the number was full, and they wanted to go to eat military rations and bribe local officials with money. The grass people don't understand, is this military ration delicious? When a soldier fights, he is obviously going to die, and he has to take money to send him to die, so he is sick. ”

Emperor Huiwen's face sank, isn't this nonsense! What is lacking in the frontier war is people, which one says that the establishment is full!

Some of the ministers changed their faces slightly, and Du Guozhong secretly complained, this is really a lawsuit against the emperor!

Wei Hong definitely played the role of a compliment, shook his head and said, "How is it possible?" Chen Ge Lao also said just now, the annual allocation of silver is two millions, besides, how to spend money to bribe local officials to serve as soldiers? This doesn't make sense! ”

Du Guozhong really wanted to go up and cover his mouth, he looked at Yang Xiaohou who looked calm, and glanced at Wei Peng who had a dead face, they did it on purpose! The old marquis's face also had a trace of doubt, and no one told him about it.

Helan Xue glanced at Wei Hong like a fool, and said lightly: "The money spent is less than the military salary." And there's a word called empty salary, haven't you heard of it? ”

Emperor Huiwen was suddenly furious, slapped the table and said, "What nonsense! Helan Xue, do you know what it is to frame a court official? ”

Helan Xue probably couldn't pretend anymore, and there was a sneer on her face: "No one believes the truth." ”

Emperor Huiwen was angry, this girl is not an ordinary fat! "Wei Peng, take her to me, put her in prison, and try her."

"Huh?" Wei Peng said that he was very innocent, how could he name himself again, could it be that he was standing in the wrong position today?

Yang Jiulin said in a low voice: "Miss Helan, you can't talk nonsense without real evidence. Framing an official of the imperial court is a felony of beheading. ”

Helan Xue returned to her little daughter's appearance, pouting slightly: "I know!" But I didn't talk nonsense, okay. She took out a few pieces of paper from her sleeve and handed them over, and said, "Check it out, you will know, all the people on this list are my people, that is, bandits, and people are also in the camp outside the city. ”

Yang Jiulin took the roster and handed it over, Wei Peng quietly looked at Emperor Huiwen, Emperor Huiwen did not hide his concern for this nephew, and hummed: "What are you looking at?" Bring it to me. ”

Wei Peng had to step forward and take it and put it on the imperial book case. Emperor Huiwen opened it and looked at it, the names, places of origin, and age were recorded very carefully, and there were no less than hundreds of people densely packed on these pieces of paper. He swept the officials in the hall with cold eyes, one of them really has their own ghosts, and there are a lot of stories written on this face! King Ying and King Ning were expressionless, King De kept smiling, this will also sink his face, this little girl has two strokes, and she can still play like this.

Several princes don't have such cultivation as them, and their faces have changed, and they all know who they are. Emperor Huiwen looked at Helan Xue who was still kneeling in the hall again, and said in a slightly slower tone: "Calm down." ”

Helan Xue thanked him and stood up, and silently shook him in her heart, is it good to make people kneel for so long and tired.

Wei Chong's heart suddenly moved, and asked, "You did the case of Suzhou Governor Qian Fuxi?" ”

He Lanxue glanced at him, nodded in acknowledgement, and Wei Chong said again: "There are rumors among the people that some disaster victims and poor families in Suzhou have survived with the silver money given by the Bodhisattva? Have you heard of this? ”

Helan Xue nodded: "It's the property that the surnamed Qian looted in the past, and the grass people exchanged it for scattered silver, and returned it to the people." ”

There were whispers in the hall, weren't they bandits? This robbed the unlucky guy and gave it all to the victims, isn't this robbing the rich and helping the poor?

Emperor Huiwen has put down the roster, and when he heard the conversation between Wei Chong and her, he couldn't help but be shocked, Qian Fuxi's matter came back and listened to his son, now the prefect of Suzhou is Zhou Changzhi's temporary generation, I can't imagine that his property was distributed to the victims and the poor by this girl, this official is not as good as being a bandit!!

He suppressed his anger and glanced at the civil and military officials in the hall, this matter is not over, I will send your heads first. He looked at Helan Xue again, this little girl is a little courageous, and as Yang Jiulin said, she has a bit of strategy, she can face the saint with the roster, she is obviously prepared, just looking at it this way, she is just a young girl, but she has such a scheming, just looking at her appearance, even if she is not a lady, she can be regarded as a small jasper, how can it really be as Yang Jiulin said, brave and strategic, strong in martial arts, and able to defeat a hundred.
