Chapter 457: A Special Money House
Qian Jin's words made no one present expect that this person was really brazen, and he could still do it so comfortably as a wicked person?
Nangong Yihan frowned slightly, if there was really that black account, it would be possible to see these officials in the court more clearly, but if he let go of this wicked man like this, wouldn't it be too cheap for him?
Just thinking about it, Chu Lixue said lightly, "Let you go?" It's not impossible, but you must at least bring out all the evil things you have done, and if you feel that you deserve to die, then this palace will definitely not stop it. ”
Hearing this, Qian Jin sneered, is this queen pregnant and stupid? Wicked people certainly don't feel like they deserve to die. He still has to live well and enjoy life.
"Niangniang is not joking, how can this person think that he deserves to die?" Qian Jin said proudly.
"Since you don't think you deserve to die, you might as well tell me all about your great achievements." Chu Lixue gritted her teeth and said the words "great achievements".
"Okay, anyway, Niangniang has promised not to kill me, then I'll tell you about it." Qian Jin said proudly. Immediately, he turned around and picked up the tea on the table and took a few sips.
This tea was prepared by Ning Xiang for Nangong Yihan just now, and before it was presented, it was cut off. Master Zhang looked at Qian Jin in surprise, he is different from Qian Jin, Qian Jin has money, and he also has people in the court, not to mention, he still has that account book in his hand, using the account book for his life is really a good means, what he didn't expect was that the queen actually agreed.
Qian Jin drank the tea, and then boasted: "At the beginning, I took those young and beautiful girls for myself on the pretext of appeasing the river god, and after I raped them, I sold them to brothels in other places and let them make money for me. ”
As soon as these words came out, those families who lost their daughters were already furious, thinking that their children were really just dedicated to the river god as a lady, but they didn't expect this to be a big conspiracy.
"Kill him, kill this brute with a thousand cuts, and return my daughter." An old lady cried. She was widowed in her early years, and she had an only daughter by her side for many years, and her daughter was chosen to be the lady of the river god, she was unwilling, but she was a common person, and she couldn't afford to offend those who were officials, so she could only watch her daughter being arrested.
The old woman's cry quickly resonated, and the rest of the family also cried and shouted for Nangong Yihan to kill Qian Jin, Qian Jin knew that he had done a lot of evil, but he still disdained these people's homes very much.
"Hmph, it's useless for you to hate me now, last year the town lost a few old pregnant sows, and I also asked people to catch those sows, and then break the belly to take the children, and roast the piglets who are seven months pregnant, and the meat is very delicious. Juice is something you people don't know how to enjoy. ”
Hearing that their old sow died in order to satisfy the appetite of others, those people were really angry, and their families relied on a few pigs to live, and when the year was closed and a pig was sold, the family could fill the child's clothes and buy some other poultry, but they didn't expect the old sow to die, and even the body could not be found.
"What's more, I have taken a lot of young and strong laborers to go to work on my farm, so that my donkeys, horses, and so on have rested. A few of them were overwhelmed, and they were all exhausted, and as for the corpses, they had been thrown into the river by me for fish. ”
Qian Jin was very relaxed when he said these words, as if he was talking about someone else's business, Nangong Yihan listened to his story, his hands clenched tightly, he really hated to kill this beast, but the black account has not been found yet, he can only suppress this breath first.
"Hanjiang, let him draw the charge." Nangong Yihan said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Qian Jin glanced at Han Jiang, casually glanced at the guilt on the paper, and with a stroke of the pen, he actually signed the name. He also knew very well in his heart that although the queen promised not to kill him, the emperor had not agreed, it seemed that the emperor wanted the account book in his hand.
"Qian Jin, when will you hand over the account book that was given to the court officials for bribes?" Nangong Yihan said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, are you a fool to be a grass citizen? Of course, the grass people know that the account book is the talisman of the grass people, as long as the account book is still in the hands of the grass people, the emperor will not kill me, and those officials who have received my money will not kill me. ”
"Hanjiang, stay him in prison and wait for his fate." Nangong Yi said coldly.
Even if he really can't kill this bastard, he's going to keep him in prison for life. Nangong Yihan thought secretly in his heart.
Qian Jin was put in prison, but there was no execution, the people were very disappointed, Chu Lixue saw this, "Folks, don't be discouraged, the retribution of heaven is not happy, the emperor will not sit idly by, although he admitted his guilt, but if he can't find those account books, and can't clean up those corrupt officials, then kill Lu Ji and Qian Jin today, and there will be another person to oppress you tomorrow, the emperor is also a human being, and he also can't see it, I hope you can understand." ”
Hearing this, those people sighed and left the surroundings of the hall, Nangong Yihan stepped down the steps and held Chu Lixue's hand tightly, "Fortunately, you're fine." ”
"I have the waning moon to protect them, of course it will be fine. The most important thing at the moment is that we still have to find the ledger first. Chu Lixue said in a deep voice.
"That's right, but where is the ledger going to hide?" Nangong Yihan frowned.
If a person wants to hide a good thing, he must not want to be discovered, since it is hidden, then it will definitely not be hidden in a place that can be thought of, this place must be very secret, just like the treasure hidden by the ancestors of the Nangong family, although there are many clues, but is it still not that nothing has been found?
"We can't do so much now, we can only search, and I hope we can search for it." Chu Lixue said lightly.
Han Jiang personally transferred the nearby garrison and went to Qian Jin's mansion to search, but he searched through Qian Jin's mansion and found nothing valuable.
Han Jiang returned in vain, his mood was very low, he was not able to complete the emperor's instructions to himself, returned to the inn, and the shopkeeper informed him that the emperor and queen had moved the small courtyard they rented.
When Hanjiang returned to the small courtyard, it was already evening, and he happened to see Nangong Yihan sitting in the courtyard, and immediately knelt on the ground, "The emperor forgives the sin, the minister failed to complete the task assigned by the emperor, and asked the emperor to punish him." ”
"Hurry up, you've searched them all? Didn't you find anything? Nangong Yihan wondered.
Although there are several places in this Qianjin's mansion, it is impossible for him to put such an important thing casually, but Hanjiang has always been careful, so he hasn't found any useful news.
"Okay, the rice has to be eaten one bite at a time, the road has to be walked step by step, I haven't found it today, think about it for a while, maybe there is indeed something missing? It's time to sit down and eat together. Chu Lixue said lightly.
"However, I've really checked everything, what secret rooms, secret grids and the like, there is nothing special to find." Han Jiang said helplessly.
"And what about the ponds, the cloisters, and so on?" Chu Lixue reminded with a smile.
"Ponds? Cloister? Han Jiang wondered.
How can you hide things in these places, and if there are ledgers soaked in the pond, won't they all be soaked? As for the corridor, people come and go every day, and there is also a prompt girl to clean every day, I'm afraid it's not easy to hide things, aren't you afraid of being discovered?
Chu Lixue saw that Han Jiang didn't understand what she meant, so she immediately smiled and said, "Okay, eat first, after eating, I'll accompany you in the evening." ”
Hearing this, Han Jiang opened his mouth and didn't say anything, he knew that Chu Lixue's mind was delicate, and he could always think of things that others couldn't think of, since she believed that the account book was hidden in Qian Jin's house, it must be there, but there was a problem with the way they were looking for it, and they hadn't found it yet.
It was night, many people were ready to go to bed, the full moon was in the sky, the night was very beautiful, Chu Lixue sat in the courtyard and drank a few sips of sour plum soup, and when she saw Hanjiang preparing to go out again, she immediately asked: "It's so late, where are you going?" ”
"Mother, didn't you say that it would be rewarding to check it out later? I'd like to go to the money house. Han Jiang said respectfully.
If this was in private, Han Jiang would definitely call Chu Lixue's second sister, but the emperor was also there, and there were other people around him, if he was so unruly, he would definitely bring trouble to Chu Lixue.
"You go alone, how can I rest assured, go and call Ye Wushuang, and I'll bring the waning moon and remnant snow again." Chu Lixue said lightly.
"How is this enough, you are pregnant, it is inconvenient, let me go with them." Nangong Yihan walked in a step.
"No, you are the emperor, you need to sit here, if anyone finds out that you have left, maybe they will attack the people in the courtyard." Chu Lixue said lightly.
"But you're my wife, and if something happens to you, it's too late for me to regret it." Nangong Yihan said anxiously.
"Don't worry, there are four martial arts masters around me, even if there is danger, three will go to defend against the enemy, and the other will take me away, besides, I still have poison by my side." Chu Lixue said proudly.
Hearing this, Nangong Yihan shook his head helplessly, he had never seen that woman be so proud of carrying poison with her, but Chu Lixue was right, although Qian Jin was in prison, he also had to prevent enemies hiding in the shadows.
Chu Lixue and his entourage came to Qian Jin's house, the house had already been scattered, and the Qian house in the middle of the night also cast a layer of mystery here.
