Chapter 209: Temptation
Haha, Master Li, I think so too. ”
"Master Li, you said that you have something to ask about our mother and son. Now there is no one else. Lady Li, just ask. ”
Mrs. Wang waited until Wang Tian finished asking, then looked directly into Li Zhiyan's eyes and asked.
"Let's ask." Li Zhiyan looked at Mrs. Wang's nervous appearance and felt that it was not appropriate for him to ask, so he handed over the matter to Bai Zhi.
"Miss Li?"
"Actually, Mrs. Wang. We would like to ask, Lord Wang Cheng, before his death, were there any more unusual phenomena? ”
"This....... My husband has always worked hard for the court, and he will continue to review some official documents after he comes back every day. A large part of the money in my family was used to buy oil for the oil lamp in front of my family's desk.
Before Xianggong died, there was nothing unusual except for the daily worsening of his cough.
Thinking about it now, the concubine was really derelict at that time, and she didn't even notice that Xianggong's cough was getting worse day by day. In the end, Xianggong became seriously ill and died. ”
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Wang. Please also mourn. ”
"It's okay, Miss Li. Why are you asking this? ”
"It's because ......." Bai Zhi turned his head to look at Li Zhiyan, and Li Zhiyan nodded to Bai Zhi.
"It's because a few days ago, a thief was caught inside my brother's tooth gate. After our interrogation, we found out that the thief had stolen something from your house.
So let's investigate if anything has been lost in your home.
By the way, the thief also said. That night, when he was stealing something, he found that there used to be a lot of gold and silver in front of Lord Wang Cheng's table. It's a lot of money, and it's definitely not a lot that can be earned in a Kubu Lang......"
These words were actually discussed by Li Zhiyan and Bai Zhi before they went to Wang Cheng's house. Now I can use it directly and try Mrs. Wang's reaction.
"My lord, my father-in-law must have been wronged. My father-in-law never brought back a large amount of gold or silver. Please also have a good understanding! When Mrs. Wang was talking about gold and silver in Bai Zhi, she was so frightened that she got down from the chair and pulled Wang Tian to kneel on the ground.
"Mrs. Wang, hurry up. We're just checking it out now. After all, we will not believe the testimony of a thief.
Since Mrs. Wang said this, then we must believe what Mrs. Wang said.
It seems that the thief is still a little bolder. The punishment is still not enough. ”
Li Zhiyan hurriedly helped Mrs. Wang up and said.
"Master Li, my father-in-law has never had any gold or silver to take back home, otherwise, how could our family become like that.
As for what Lord Li wanted to ask, what was missing....... This concubine can't sort out the things in the house now. Because the contents of the house have been looted.
Now how can we know whether it was the thieves who stole it or was robbed by those people. I can't tell. ”
"Well, that's fine. Anyway, that thief didn't just steal your home. The other home thefts were enough to keep him in prison for years.
But there's one more thing I'm quite concerned about. I want to ask you, Mrs. Wang. ”
"Master Li said."
"The thief once casually mentioned that when he was burglarizing Lord Wang's house, he found that there was a large number of altered account books on Lord Wang's desk.
Although the thief didn't know much, he still recognized some of them. So know it's the books. And it's ....... The account books of the Treasury Department of Grain and Grass.
I don't know Mrs. Wang, do you know the account book? ”
"No...... I don't know, I don't know! Completely different from the excited appearance just now, this time Mrs. Wang did not kneel down because of Li Zhiyan's words, but just lowered her head and kept denying it.
In fact, whatever account books the thieves saw were all compiled by Li Zhiyan. Because he heard it from Wang Tian and those outsiders. They were looking for an account book in Wang's house.
Although he didn't know what was important in the account books, Li Zhiyan wanted to try Mrs. Wang. After this attempt, Li Zhiyan sensed that something was wrong.
Wang Cheng is the Langzhong of the Treasury Department, and Li Zhiyan can also say that it is the account book of the Treasury Grain and Grass. This arbitrary modification of the grain and grass account books of the treasury department is a big crime, and Li Zhiyan doesn't think that this Mrs. Wang doesn't know about this crime.
When she framed the gold and silver just now, Mrs. Wang would refute excitedly, but now that the account books have been framed and revised, why doesn't Mrs. Wang refute it again?
Is it because ....... Guilty?
"Mrs. Wang really doesn't know?"
"I really don't know, Master Li."
"Then it seems that I will have to go to the treasury department to ask later, after all, it is a big crime to modify the grain and grass account books of the treasury department at will. I can't let Lord Wang be wronged in vain, can I? ”
"Master Lee....... You don't have to deliberately investigate this, right? How could my father-in-law do such a thing? Impossible. ”
"Hmm....... That's right, forget it. Anyway, this kind of thing should be investigated by the people of the Ministry of War, why bother with this little Chang'an order. Maybe he will be kicked out by the people of the military department because of the dog taking the mouse. ”
"Yes, yes, Lord Li, what you said is very true."
"Hahaha, what did you just say, stinky man? Dog takes a mouse?! Hahahaha, stinky man, are you a dog?!
Yes, yes, you are a dog! ”
Originally, Li Zhiyan still had a mysterious and unpredictable smile, but when Miss Hu Xue shouted like this, he couldn't hold back all of a sudden. Turning his head to Miss Hu Xue, he sneered.
"Stinky girl, I invited this meal. If you want to eat, keep your mouth shut. If you don't want to eat, hurry up and pay Miss Yun and ask her to make you another one. ”
"Hmph, I've got you done with this meal. The fool went back and paid for it himself! ”
"Then you shut up."
"Served, served. Sister Yun, is there any ...... today? Just when Li Zhiyan and Miss Hu Xue were arguing, Miss Ding Yun asked Xiao Er to come up with a few dishes. Yue Ling hurriedly asked.
"Of course, Brother Qing, how could he forget Yue Ling's favorite food?
The honey dumplings are ready, and they will be served to the moon spirit in a moment. ”
"yes yes!"
"I want it too, Sister Yun...... No, sister-in-law. ”
"Haha, it's all there."
A few days ago, Miss Hu Xue came to the inn to find A-Qing. At that time, Miss Ding Yun thought that another Miss Wu was coming.
However, Miss Hu Xue didn't take a fancy to Ah Qing, but came to see what this monster that can live well in Chang'an City is like.
After meeting, Miss Hu Xue felt that Ah Qing, the snake demon, was not bad. Of course, the main thing is to make the food delicious. Then after a while, he recognized his brother and sister with A-Qing. So now I will call Ding Yun girl sister-in-law.
