Chapter 385: Interrogation

The account book does not need to be checked by Qingqing herself, the household department came to a bunch of masters who checked the accounts, and checked the situation of the four families one by one, and the Qin family searched the house anyway, compared the account books with the treasury one by one, and by the way, also checked a few moths in the military department, and then searched them back, and they went home. The young emperor was really mad!

The four auxiliary ministers didn't clear their officials, and as a result, even those people in the military department had to pluck their feathers, are they still people? It's just a day's work, if ten days and a half have passed, seeing that the limelight has passed, and they get something more, he will think a little better, but the result, one day!

How the young emperor vomited, Qingqing couldn't care. As soon as Qingqing returned to his palace, he heard that Ximen had gone to the prison, and the young emperor officially asked Dali Temple to try the case. Qingqing thought that the prison was on the edge of the palace, so he followed him.

The keeper of the door is from Dali Temple, they have seen Qingqing, even if they don't know that she is a princess, they also know that they can go here, and they are not ordinary people, they didn't even ask, and let her in.

The layout of the prison is actually similar to that of the Kaifeng Mansion prison, and even the smell is similar, but it is obviously a little taller here. The ground is paved with large stone slabs, and every step you step on, you can feel the bitter coldness.

The prison was very quiet, and the sound of Ximen opening could be heard from afar, and his voice was very impatient at this time, obviously, it was because of Qingqing. The young master's temper, this time finally broke out in an all-round way.

"That wasn't ten years ago." Qin Xiang's voice was a little roaring, of course, far away, there was still a little bit of righteousness. It was as if he was questioning Simon Kai. They used to receive a lot of money every year, and they really didn't think there was anything wrong with that.

There was a set of tables and chairs in the middle of Qingqing's cell, which was supposed to be the place where the prison guards rested, but now, those people were gone. Qingqing sat down quietly and listened to their interrogation.

"Let's talk about it ten years ago, the account book has been checked ten years ago, and it's not an exaggeration to say that you will help make a fortune, right?" Ximen Kai was in a bad mood, and naturally had nothing to say to Qin Xiang.

"Ten years ago, Yue Guogong was everyone's God of Wealth, and every year they sent people to Beijing, it was a major event for each family. This is what the first emperor knew, and he also told us before that when it was rewarded by his old man, he accepted it generously. If you don't believe it, you can go and see the living records of the first emperor, I remember that it was the spring of the second year of Guanglu. At this moment, Qin Xiang sneered. Ask anything else, he doesn't necessarily have to be so arrogant. In the second year of Guanglu, it was thirty years ago.

Qingqing got up and slowly walked to the interrogation room.

"Who are you?" Qin Xiang saw Qingqing, a beauty in palace clothes, with her hands in her sleeves, but her eyes were a little familiar. He finally remembered, the young emperor looked at him like this yesterday, he suddenly trembled a little all over, he now knows where he is wrong, they have always thought that the young emperor is using this girl to test the bottom limit of the ministers, what the young emperor really wants to recognize is the little fat man who took him to the imperial study to listen to the government. So they have been testing and opposing, after all, an illegitimate child wants to recognize it, which is intolerable to the imperial court.

"Your Highness!" Ximen Kai didn't expect Qingqing to come, so he walked sideways.

"In the second year of Guanglu, when I said this, was it before or after the Queen Mother." Qingqing asked in a deep voice, "At that time, what was your official position?" ”

After that, little ...... At that time, he was a secretary and a young eunuch. The old man's whole body trembled.

"What kind of officer is that? A few pins! Qingqing didn't understand, and turned to the west gate. At this point, she could only ask him.

"Secretary Cheng is the adjutant of the secretary province, in charge of ancient and modern books, national historical records, astronomical calendars, etc. From the five pins! Simon Kai lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

"How old were you that year?" Qingqing thinks about it and looks at Lord Qin.

"Forty-five." Lord Qin is still a little complacent, he can achieve the fifth grade at the age of forty-five, which is very fast among officials of his equivalent.

Qingqing nodded and left silently. So his grandfather Wang is really remarkable, a man in his thirties who has achieved the fifth grade, or a "poor" official, who doesn't even have a dowry to marry his daughter, and his wife didn't have a ring and a carriage when he went out to worship, and was squeezed to death?

And in the interrogation room, Qin Xiang didn't come back to his senses for a while, and for a long time: "Who is she?" ”

"Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoyang!" Ximen Kai looked at Qin Xiang coldly, his brain was not bad, Qingqing came in and asked what was the second year of Guanglu, at that time, why did she come in and ask, was it before or after the incident of the Empress Dowager. Yes, a person who can get a lot of property from the Wupin Secretary and Provincial Secretary Cheng can get a lot of property from the Yue Guo Mansion, and it is after the emperor has just been deposed and the Liu family has been cleansed. The timing is really intriguing.

"The emperor wants to recognize her?" Qin Xiang looked at him with a little horror.

Ximen Kai was a little impatient and was about to say something, but suddenly looked up, he was not a fool, he was only a little more stupid than Qingqing. If you talk about interrogation, he is more than a little stronger than Qingqing. He could tell what it meant to "recognize" and what it meant to "adopt." However, he didn't speak, just looked up at Qin Xiang, "Let's talk about your treasury!" ”

There was Tang Leng standing outside the prison, he had a lot of things to do in the afternoon, and then he heard that Qingqing had come to the prison, so he thought about coming to touch her. Qingqing ignored him, and he didn't get into his own chariot, so he silently walked back with his hands together.

"Your Highness?" Tang Leng thought about it and still followed behind, seeing that Qingqing didn't care about herself, she couldn't help but call her.

"Judging from the accounts, are the other three in a similar situation?" Qingqing didn't stop her steps, she still had to think about things. The first assistant is seventy-five, and the other three should not be younger. The money found should be similar, so these four people should not be. They all start from the bottom, and then they are also the kind that are not easy to control. Otherwise, they would not have been able to get to where they are today. Such a person, even if Yue Guogong is alive, he will not really believe it, there are too many variables. So, the people he was looking for were not among them.

"Yes, in fact, I want to use the way of auditing to find out the details, and it is not very likely." Tang Leng followed behind and replied gently, he felt that Qingqing was also a little naïve, if the audit could find out who had something to do with the Yue Guo Mansion, it would be really naïve, it was originally said in the Art of War, if it is false, it is true, and if it is real, who will put the secret thing in the account book.

"It's not about looking for a small job!" Qingqing didn't bother to tell Tang Leng about this, and decided to change the topic, "Taichang Temple actually overlaps a bit with the function of the Ministry of Rites, right?" ”
