Chapter 436: Reward
When the witness is found, the rest is much easier.
Li Changfeng calmed down for a while before calming down, turned his head and asked the man: "You said that you were on an errand in the state government that day, so do you know where he hid that batch of official silver?" ”
The money that had been embezzled had all been rubbed by the government, and if it was taken out and used immediately, it would soon be discovered.
So the other party actually hid this batch of silver, and then took it out and used it after the limelight passed.
"I don't know about this little man......" The man shook his head, and after thinking about it in his heart, he said, "But I seem to remember that there is a dark room in the study of the state government, and if there is no accident, it should be hidden there." ”
Li Changfeng nodded, and sent someone to visit the state government at night that night, and sure enough, he found the batch of silver in it.
By the time the guards of the state government found him, he had already sent someone to take out all the official money in the secret room.
The state government ran out of the courtyard in disheveled clothes, and saw this scene, Li Changfeng stood in the crowd with a cold face and looked at him: "Lord Governor, do you have anything else to say now?" ”
"It's over, it's all over...... "It's really too late to say anything, and the governor fell to the ground with his legs weakened, his face pale.
"Come on, move all these official silvers and send them to repair the houses of those victims tomorrow." Li Changfeng waved his hand and commanded.
After saying that, he ordered someone to arrest the corrupt official and escort him back to Beijing the next day.
……
Three days later, inside the palace.
As soon as he returned to the capital, Li Changfeng entered the palace and reported the situation to the emperor truthfully.
The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and coughed lightly twice before saying, "You did a good job this time, let's talk about it...... What reward do you want? ”
"There is no need for rewards," Li Changfeng shook his head, he really didn't have anything he wanted, and most of this was due to Mu Yunqian, "These are the responsibilities of the sons." ”
"You don't have to be so modest," the emperor waved his hand and said, "The matter in Liangzhou this time is very important, if you hadn't found those official silver in time, the people of Liangzhou would still be in dire straits, and the great credit cannot be ignored." ”
"Erchen...... There's really nothing you want. Li Changfeng still shook his head and refused, he really couldn't think of what he wanted, the reward that the emperor said was nothing more than some gold and silver treasures, and he was not interested in these.
"That's not good," the emperor insisted, and said with a bit of seriousness on his face: "You have a great credit this time, if you don't want anything, won't I be criticized by the people and say that I treat you harshly?" I don't want to get old and have a bad reputation. ”
"This ......" Li Changfeng choked, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Yes," the third prince and the fifth prince were also standing aside at that time, and Li Tianzhe also opened his mouth to help when he saw this, "Ninth brother, you have made such a great contribution this time, if you don't want any reward, it will be too much to say, my father is also a good intention, I am afraid it will be a little bad if you continue to refuse?" ”
Before Li Changfeng could say anything this time, he was interrupted by the emperor, only to hear the other party take the lead and say: "That's it!" Someone came, took out the few rare jade artifacts in the treasury and sent them to King Li's mansion. "Rape Chinese
The two guards outside took the order and turned around to do it, the emperor insisted on this, and Li Changfeng couldn't say anything more, so he had to kneel down and say, "Thank you for the reward from your father." ”
"Get up, go to Liangzhou to investigate the case in the past few days, and travel a long way, you must be tired, go back and rest first." The emperor nodded, gave the reward, and seemed to be in a good mood, and said.
Li Changfeng answered yes and turned to leave.
Li Tianzhe left a little later because he still had some things to report to the emperor, and after he finished saying the certificate, he turned around and was about to leave the palace, but he was stopped in the middle of the road.
"Fifth brother, wait a minute." Behind him came a cautious shout.
"Is there anything wrong with Brother Sanwang?" Li Tianzhe turned his head a little puzzled, and asked with a frown.
After all, the two are in an opposing competitive relationship, so he doesn't think there is anything good about the other party looking for him.
"Fifth brother, this is going out of the palace, right? This king happens to be on the way, how about walking together? Li Zhishen raised his eyebrows and took the initiative to ask.
After speaking, he didn't wait for the other party to answer, so he walked directly to Li Tianzhe's side and walked out side by side with him.
Li Tianzhe was helpless, thinking that there was no need to fall out with the other party for this trivial matter, so he walked forward expressionlessly.
"The reward given by my father to the ninth brother is really rich, this king has heard of it, that batch of jade was treasured by my father in the treasury for many years, and he was reluctant to take it out, but now he gave it to the ninth brother without hesitation." Li Zhishen naturally didn't just want to walk with him, as soon as the two walked together, he immediately pretended to sigh.
Li Tianzhe's brows, which were already slightly furrowed, glanced deeper, and said, "So what? The ninth brother set up such a big palace this time, and it was natural for his father to give him some rich rewards. ”
"Heh, you're the only one who thinks so, right?" Li Zhishen snorted, and then said, "Don't you think that the father's attitude towards the ninth brother is already a little biased towards us?" When he heard about the corruption of officials in Liangzhou that day, his father almost didn't want to leave the matter to the ninth brother. ”
"In addition, today, the ninth brother has repeatedly refused, and his father still insists on rewarding him, and he is very powerful now."
"Maybe my father is just a random candidate, and what the third brother said is a bit too much." Li Tianzhe listened, and his face gradually became not very good-looking, but he still said: "What is the father's mind, it is not for us to speculate, the third brother still don't say such things again." ”
"Anyway, according to my brother, my father has now put most of his mind on the ninth brother, whether you believe it or not, just figure it out for yourself." Li Zhishen raised his eyebrows, didn't continue to say more, and stopped at the end of the point.
Talking too much would make him suspicious, and now that he is only talking about part of it, he will let him speculate on the rest.
After finishing speaking, Li Zhishen walked away by himself, Li Tianzhe looked at his back slowly moving away, and his brows were tightly twisted into the word "Chuan".
Although he didn't believe what the other party said on the surface, his brain seemed to be bewitched by something, and Li Zhishen's words were repeated in his mind one by one, so that he couldn't calm down at all.
The emperor's attitude towards Li Changfeng today is indeed better than usual......
Coupled with the Liangzhou delegation, he may have gained a lot of good reputation.
