Chapter XXI: Interrogation
"Lord Xue, I am King Yu's most trusted Jade Manager, and he asked me to come to see you." Zuo listened to Xue and sat down, and then said.
Xue Kai hurriedly greeted him with a smile, "What does Chief Jade command?" ”
"King Yu asked me to come to you to transfer troops, and I am going to bring them back for forced training, how many soldiers and horses can you transfer." Zuo Tingxue said according to what she said beforehand, although she didn't want to do this, but the emperor could only say this when he listened to her inside.
"The head of the jade recruits troops and horses privately, that is a serious crime to exterminate the nine clans, how can Xue Kai, a little prefect who can't be martial, dare to recruit troops and buy horses, the head of the jade is afraid that he has mistaken the meaning of King Yu, right?" Xue Kai's face was puzzled, and he couldn't tell that he was lying again.
"Yes, I heard that many people defected to your Xue Governor's Mansion, but there is such a thing."
"Speaking of this, the lower official just wanted to give feedback to the imperial court, why hasn't the food for disaster relief in the summer yet arrived?" Xue Kai said vigorously, not taking the recruitment that Zuo Tingxue just said to heart at all.
Zuo Tingxue naturally knows the whereabouts of the disaster relief grain, and the grain has been pocketed by Yan Congxuan, it seems that this prefect Xue Kai is also an official with no rights, otherwise he would not have reported it until now.
In this case, I can't come to this Liunan City for nothing, I must give Yan Congxuan a look.
"Governor Xue, the prince is responsible for broadcasting the disaster relief funds, you didn't receive the disaster relief funds, are you saying that the prince is greedy for disaster relief funds?" Zuo Tingxue said this in a loud voice, she deliberately wanted the emperor to hear it.
"The minister doesn't dare to talk nonsense, the minister really hasn't received the disaster relief money, and there are more than 20 officials in Liunancheng, all of whom can testify."
"Then why are so many people in your house going to run?"
"These people are all Li people who are in distress, and the ministers are selling pots and smashing iron to buy seeds in other places, and let these people pick up the seeds, and they do not recruit troops and horses." Xue Kai explained very seriously, and then knelt down.
"Please check the head of the jade, the minister is willing to take the head to vouch, what the minister said is true, if it is false, I will be the head, just take it." Xue Kai's words were strong and powerful, and every sentence came from the bottom of his heart, without the slightest flaw.
The door in the "squeak" room opened, the emperor and Zuo Yunfeng walked out, and Xue Kai hurriedly saluted when he saw it.
The emperor didn't want to show up, he wanted to hear any flaws from Xue Kai's words, and he would continue to investigate tomorrow, but the emperor himself didn't believe that Feng Jinyi and Xue Kai were recruiting, but he didn't expect Xue Kai to say that everything was the way, and he didn't hear anything wrong at all.
Especially the last sentence, which made the emperor believe that there was something strange about this matter.
"Flat"
"Your Majesty." Xue Kai didn't expect the emperor to be here.
Zuo Yunfeng hurriedly moved the chair, and the emperor sat down, "Governor Xue, someone went to Beijing to complain, saying that you colluded with King Yu to recruit troops and buy horses in private, but is there such a thing?" ”
Xue Kai hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely a non-existent matter, please investigate it clearly." ”
"I will find out about this, you go back to the palace with me tomorrow to find out about this matter, and I must find out who is doing the ghost in this matter." The Emperor was annoyed as he spoke.
Zuo Tingxue really didn't feel good in her heart, it seems that the emperor cares about it the most, and the most favored person is still Feng Jinyi, I didn't expect him to run so far for Feng Jinyi, but Yan Congxuan's biological son did not have this kind of treatment, and now she can only blame herself for being blind in her previous life and loving the wrong person.
