Xing Tianze, who paid 200,000 yuan in military salaries, has not yet figured out where such a large amount has gone.

In the past two days, Wuxian sent people to investigate all the information of Taiwei and Yang Wentai and his party, and found that they did not add any real estate under their names, nor did they have any business activities.

Xing Tianze thought about it for a while, even if there were ten important officials involved in this incident, each of them would be able to receive an equal salary of 20,000 taels in the end, which was equivalent to their many years of money, it was impossible for them to disappear for no reason, right?

If this huge group of corrupt officials is not uprooted this time, the high-level of Xing Zhaoguo will be equivalent to a black hole, and countless resources will be devoured by them in the future.

Tao Mingxi gave a lot of possibilities when he had dinner last night, could it be that they deposited the military salaries they obtained into major banks?

Xing Tianze sent people overnight to investigate 20 large and small money houses in Xingzhao Kingdom, but still found nothing, so he concluded that the 200,000 military salaries should have been hidden, and the spoils were not shared by the corrupt officials.

And Yang Wentai revealed this in the interrogation before his death, and the location of the hiding place was only known to the Taiwei alone.

"You want to know?" The lieutenant was silent for a long time, and finally exhaled a long breath, and his face was full of amazement.

"If the Taiwei doesn't want to bring the secret into the soil, this king is willing to listen to it." Xing Tianze poured himself a cup of tea.

"Do you know how many taels of silver have been allocated by the treasury of the Xingzhao Kingdom?" Taiwei didn't wait for Xing Tianze to answer before continuing to speak: "I don't know if the prince has personally been to those disaster areas that have been affected by various natural disasters?" Have you ever seen how miserable the holy life of those victims is? ”

Xing Tianze didn't answer, he lowered his eyes slightly, he had only heard that when the disaster area was serious, there was even a situation of cannibalism between Yi Zi, but he really hadn't seen the specific situation with his own eyes.

"In the past five years, Xingzhao has suffered sixteen natural disasters, and the officials responsible for disaster relief in the disaster area have sacrificed about ten, does the prince know why?" The captain slowly explained the reason.

"I have personally traveled to the disaster area four times, and I have seen the miserable life of the victims, and I know how difficult it is for them, and the reason why the officials were killed is actually very simple, and they were killed by the victims because they could not get enough relief money." The lieutenant sighed slightly.

"Do you want to tell this king that the reason why you pay attention to the military salary is for the thousands of victims?" Xing Tianze looked at Taiwei in surprise, without the slightest belief in his heart.

"Don't worry, please listen to the old man slowly, the reason why the disaster relief funds are not enough is because after being allocated from the treasury, they have been corrupted layer by layer, so if you want to better govern the country, you have to feed the corrupt officials." The lieutenant stretched out his right hand and lightly tapped it on the table: "How to write official characters?" There are two mouths up and down, if you don't block the upper mouth, how can there be food in the lower mouth? ”

"It's nonsense, this king has never seen someone as clever as you, Taiwei." Xing Tianze slapped the table angrily.

The Yulin Army outside immediately rushed in after hearing the sound, Xing Tianze closed his eyes and sighed, waved his hand to signal them to go out.

"This is not some crooked reasoning, this is the conclusion that the old man has come to in the past 30 years as an official." Taiwei said without changing his face: "Although there have been Qing officials in all dynasties since ancient times, but they are just short-lived and the number can be called rare, and more officials are all corrupt officials." ”

"Captain, do you know what you're talking about? Corruption is corruption, and even if it is said that the sky is broken, there is a country and a people. Xing Tianze was about to leave.

However, the lieutenant gave him a gesture of calmness, analyzed the truth one by one, and gave his own official position as an example.

Although he is a supreme minister, he can't manage all the officials under him well, and he needs more support from those officials, otherwise his official position is just an empty shelf.

Only by coming up with enough money to feed the corrupt officials can they sell their lives to the Taiwei and put the things handed over to them by the imperial court on the ground.

"Okay, Captain, you don't need to say any more, this king just wants to know how you got the military salary, and I don't want to hear your nonsense." Xing Tianze's breathing began to become rapid.

It was the first time he had heard of someone who could talk about corrupt officials so well, and the crime of embezzlement was an absolutely inadmissible crime in Xing Tianze's opinion, and there was no possibility of relaxing only severe punishment.

"It's very simple, as soon as the military pay left the treasury, it was exchanged for hydrated gold." The lieutenant directly interrupted his speech.

"Where is the military pay now? How many officials are involved? Xing Tianze didn't want to stay for a moment.

"The military salary was remitted in the form of loose silver to the accounts of the major money banks in the Xingzhao Kingdom, a total of 2,000 people." The lieutenant stroked his beard gently.

Xing Tianze looked at Taiwei in surprise and couldn't believe his ears, what does the account book of two thousand people mean?

A total of 2,000 people participated in this incident, Xing Tianze didn't believe that there would be so many corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the big and small countries of Xing Zhaoguo? If it continues, is this okay? Sooner or later, one day it will become a country, and the whole country will be eaten up by them.

The Lieutenant seemed very calm about his shock, and he was not surprised at all.

After thinking about it carefully, Xing Tianze found out the problem, it was not really two thousand people involved, the 200,000 military salaries were divided into 2,000 parts, and the average of each account book could only be divided into 20 taels, and it was also deposited in a different bank.

No matter how shrewd the people under Traceless are, it is impossible to investigate so many ledgers at the same time, this is the real one.

"You should have a general ledger in your hand, right?" Xing Tianze stared at Taiwei's eyes tightly, he still couldn't believe it.

"There is an account book, but at the same time that the news of the disappearance of the military salary reached the capital, the old man burned it in this study." The lieutenant took a sip of tea very calmly: "Now that everything is clear to you, the old man is not prevaricating too much, and is willing to take off the black veil on his head and enter the prison." ”

"Someone!" Xing Tianze shouted loudly, and immediately more than a dozen Yulin soldiers rushed in.

"The charge of embezzlement of military salaries by the captain is confirmed, and he will immediately be put into the heavenly prison to be strictly guarded, and this king will immediately attack to meet the saint." After Xing Tianze screamed and asked Yu Linjun to take the lieutenant away, he kicked the table in front of him hard.

A similar situation was a similar situation An hour later, in the imperial study in the palace, the emperor vigorously overturned a vase that was more than half a person high, and all the palace maids and eunuchs, including four or five ministers, except for Xing Tianze, knelt directly on the ground, and their bodies couldn't help but tremble slightly.

No one thought that it was really the idea of the Taiwei to pay the military salary.
