Volume 1 Chapter 496 The Problem Ren Tianxiang Sees

Ren Tianxiang thought about this matter happily in his heart, it shouldn't be difficult to think about this matter, two months is too much time for him. If it was according to his estimated time, maybe he would be able to help Xinglingluo prepare for her coming-of-age ceremony when he came back.

And at this time, Xingheng, who was sitting opposite Ren Tianxiang, saw that he had finished reading the content on the fold, so he asked, "Have you finished reading all the content above?"

Hearing Xingheng's inquiry, Ren Tianxiang immediately restrained his expression, nodded honestly and said, "Well, I've finished reading it, and I roughly know what task I need to perform." ”

"It's good to read it. Xingheng also nodded, and then took out a document from the drawer just now, put it on the table, and said, "Since you have finished reading it, then I will discuss this matter with you." ”

Ren Tianxiang picked up the document from the table and it seemed that as he expected, what was written on these documents were some of the report documents found when the team of inspectors investigated the city lord Zou Chang this time. It's just that to Ren Tianxiang's surprise, these documents are pitifully few, and they are all copied financial statements of the City Lord's Mansion of Linshi City.

It stands to reason that the matter of investigating the report is very heavy, after all, so many financial statements are placed there, even if they are directly turned page by page, the report of a year needs to be turned for a long time, not to mention that there are discrepancies in the data in it.

It's just that Ren Tianxiang is puzzled why the inspector team only sent back so few or so reports.

"Do you see what's wrong?" Seeing that Ren Tianxiang was looking at the report seriously, Xingheng asked with great concern.

Hearing Xingheng ask himself, Ren Tianxiang put down the report a little sneeringly, and then said embarrassedly: "That...... I didn't study finance, and I couldn't see anything wrong just by looking at the reports. ”

As if he had expected Ren Tianxiang to say this, Xingheng's expression remained unchanged, and then said, "Then you can put aside the specific data of this report and take a look." ”

"Aside from the data?" Ren Tianxiang fanned the stack of documents in his hand, and for a while he didn't understand what Xingheng meant.

However, Ren Tianxiang is also a smart person after all, and after fanning this document a few times, he immediately reacted and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, are you saying that there are already problems in these dozen or so financial statements?"

"That's true, but it's not enough. Xingheng leaned lightly against the back of the chair, put on a very comfortable posture, and said, "Let me remind you a few more words...... Think about the first-level prosecutor, and the procuratorial team, it took them half a month, and they just read the financial statements of Linshi City in previous years. ”

In fact, Xingheng's reminder was already very in place, but Ren Tianxiang still couldn't comprehend the relationship for a while.

He kept his head down, constantly looking at the titles of these financial statements, and his mind gradually became immersed in thought.

Xing Heng leaned back on the back of the chair, seemingly satisfied with Ren Tianxiang's current state, so there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. He was waiting for Ren Tianxiang to comprehend the problem by himself, he didn't care about the time, he just hoped that Ren Tianxiang could figure it out by himself, after all, Ren Tianxiang was also the first time to directly contact this kind of thing, and he still allowed Ren Tianxiang to think more.

In fact, Xing Lingluo guessed very well, Xingheng just wanted to slowly cultivate Ren Tianxiang's political ability from this time - even if he was transferred to the procuratorial department, Xingheng didn't need Ren Tianxiang's strong procuratorial ability, he just hoped that Ren Tianxiang could have a keen eye, so that those officials who tried to evade the procuratorate had nothing to hide.

And now that the time for His Majesty Xingyao, the commander of the three armies, to ascend is getting closer and closer, Xinglie has not yet become an emperor who can take charge of himself, Xingheng must take precautions for Xinglie and find those who are trustworthy and powerful, so that even if Xinglie is not ready, these virtuous ministers can also assist him not to let the government stagnate.

It's just that now that the four leaders of the three departments of the government are inherited, and the only one who can really enter the eyes of Xingheng is actually only Xinglian, the successor of Xingzheng, and the other positions are all empty, I don't know how many people are staring at these three positions, in vain trying to sit on this position one day and become famous.

After more than ten minutes, Ren Tianxiang seemed to have a flash of inspiration, and the whole person raised his head to stare at Xingheng like a spirit, and slowly spit out a sentence from his mouth: "This Zou Chang...... It's not just as simple as it seems......"

"Looks like you've seen it. Xingheng's smile deepened a little, and then he stretched out his hand, motioning for Ren Tianxiang to continue, and said, "Then tell me what you saw." ”

After realizing the seriousness of the matter, Ren Tianxiang's expression was not as relaxed as just now. To put it mildly, this matter is the matter of a city lord of the Star Emperor Kingdom, and to put it mildly, it is the epitome of many officials of the Star Emperor Kingdom. Ren Tianxiang could figure out with his toes what kind of anger Xingheng would cause in this matter.

Embezzlement, buying murder, and murder, this matter must be completely resolved, and it can be regarded as a show for other officials of the Star Empire, and no one can have a fluke mentality in this great purge.

Looking up at Xingheng, Ren Tianxiang put the report in his hand on the desk, and then said: "That team of inspectors has been investigating for half a month, and from the transcription of the report they submitted, it seems that they should only have time to look at the finances of the City Lord's Mansion in Linshi City, and they haven't checked other aspects yet." But the financial statements alone had alerted the first-level prosecutor and applied for an in-depth investigation. ”

While speaking, Ren Tianxiang also pointed to the dozen or so reports on the desk: "And these financial statements they copied should be where they think there may be problems, but we can't get the real reports and corresponding reports now, and we can't find out what happened for the time being."

"And most infuriatingly, when the team of inspectors was preparing to investigate further, the first-level prosecutor was assassinated and the investigation was suspended—literally a light in the dark telling us that Zou often had a problem. ”

"But have you thought about this question?" Xing Heng leaned forward slightly, stretched out his finger and tapped on the table, and said slowly, "Why did Zou Chang dare to assassinate that first-level prosecutor?

"These dozen or so statements are the best proof of this. Ren Tianxiang had actually thought of this question a long time ago, so in the face of Xingheng's inquiry, he did not fall into deep thought, "Even the first-level prosecutor only keenly felt that there was something wrong with these reports after the investigation, but he couldn't find anything, so he could only apply to the procuratorial department...... I think Zou Chang should be very confident that he has no flaws, so he dared to assassinate the first-level prosecutor......

"In fact, we don't have any evidence to show that the death of the first-level prosecutor has anything to do with Zou Chang. Moreover, the death of the first-level procurator is also a deterrent to the procuratorial department -- even the first-level procurator is dead, but what about those procurators of lower rank? Even if the imperial court has the protection of a commissioner, it cannot be protected 24 hours a day.

"As for the higher-ranking special inspectors...... Since Your Majesty has summoned me here, it means that the special inspector may not be able to come forward to investigate this matter, right?

"That's true. Xingheng nodded and explained, "All the special inspectors of the procuratorial department have been sent to investigate the matter of domestic spies, and I can't bear to send a first-level prosecutor to death, so I have to look for you." ”

"I will certainly live up to Your Majesty's trust in me. Ren Tianxiang lowered his head, put his right hand on his left shoulder, and made a simple salute towards Xingheng.

Xingheng has not directly said anything about wanting to cultivate Ren Tianxiang until now, but his words and posture all mean that he wants to cultivate Ren Tianxiang well. And his so-called excuses, what "special inspectors have tasks and can't take care of this matter", they have already been sacrificed by first-level prosecutors, if these are not important things, Ren Tianxiang can't imagine what else can be called important.

Moreover, this Zou Chang's matter can be said to be a very typical matter of the Star Emperor's purge this time, I am afraid that the whole process is more important than the ones that Xuanyuan Liuli led the team to deal with before.

Moreover, what can be guessed now, how could Zou Chang, a city lord in a remote mountainous area of Xifeng Province, be able to assassinate a first-level procurator with ghost-level cultivation?

"It's good that you know that. Xingheng nodded, and then took out the last copy of the fold from the drawer, handed it to Ren Tianxiang, and said, "What is recorded in this fold is the list of the inspector team that is on standby in Jincheng, a total of twenty people, and there are personnel in charge of all aspects. Today, I will also ask Si Ming to send the commissioner of the Criminal Prison Department to go over, so that you can find out Zou Chang's problem and arrest him directly. But there's one thing I want to warn you of......"

Speaking of this, Xingheng's face became serious, he stared at Ren Tianxiang closely, and said, "It is very likely that this matter has attracted the attention of the whole country, and the reputation of a bad court will be affected." And what you need to do is to find out the problem as soon as possible and arrest Zou Chang. However, you have to remember that in the absence of tangible evidence, you must not do anything to Zou Chang, in any case, he is also an official of the imperial court. ”
