Chapter Ninety-Three: This Errand Is Not Good
Last night, Wang Yi not only refined a lot of condensation qi powder, but also successfully refined the new Danfang Fengzhu powder. Being able to successfully make a wind and bamboo is also a benefit brought by the official rank. Although the price of leaf stamens is comparable to that of white dew, there are very few in circulation in the market, and if you want to buy a large amount of it, it will not work without supervising this layer of identity.
With such a toss, coupled with the fact that he still had to cultivate, it was already more than 5 o'clock in the morning when Wang Yi went to bed.
After washing up and eating, Wang Yi didn't find a suitable way to deal with Cao Yu at the moment, so he had to open the furnace for alchemy again, thinking about improving his strength and accumulating wealth as soon as possible, maybe he could give the opponent a fatal blow at a critical moment.
Busy until 7 o'clock in the evening, Wang Yi appeared at the Xingwang Inn in Yanjing.
When he first came to Yanjing the day before yesterday, Wang Yi was surprised to find that this prosperous inn turned out to be a chain. If it weren't for the lack of a membership card system, Wang Yi might be able to get a discount when he came over.
At 7:20, Wang Yi arrived at King Qing's Mansion.
When Wang Yi came, the palace hall was already full of people, and Li Chengqing sat in the middle, discussing with his advisers how to deal with the case of embezzlement of military funds.
Seeing Wang Yi come in, Li Chengqing asked Wang Yi to get a chair and sat down on the side. At this time, an old man was expressing his opinion. What he said was not how to solve the case, but how to complain about how Li Chengqing came back with such a mess.
"Your Highness, this case of military corruption will not benefit your forces if it is dealt with properly. If it is not handled properly, it will offend Lord Shang Shuxuan of the military department for no reason. It's really unwise for you to take this matter down!"
This old man's name is Wen Tai, he is Li Chengqing's enlightenment teacher, and he used to be a second-class master, but now he is old and has retired to assist Li Chengqing. Because of the relationship between teachers and students, Wentai was not so polite when he spoke to Li Chengqing.
"What the teacher said is not true, the case of military capital corruption is a major matter of the country, and if these officials do not get rid of it, it is really an internal trouble, how can I make the northern capital of the country prosperous?"
"Although King Qing's words are not unreasonable, but there are many state affairs, does His Highness plan to take it alone?
"Taking a step back, as long as His Highness doesn't take the initiative to speak, there is a chance that this matter will fall on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If the crown prince does nothing, then His Majesty and the civil and military officials will look down. And if the prince does something, he will definitely do his best to bring down the military department Shangshu Xuan Chengli. If this move is successful, it will inevitably make the civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty panic, and it will also be unfavorable to the power of the crown prince. Wen Tai said with a spittle.
Li Chengqing shook his head: "Teacher, have you ever thought that if the crown prince can sweep away the internal troubles of the country, he can not only strengthen the country, but also make his father look up to him." I'm afraid that the beauty brought by this is not weaker than the fear of the ministers, right?"
"Success is useless, defeat is loss of power, why should Your Highness get involved?" Wen Tai sighed, "The only good thing now is that even if His Highness offends Lord Xuan, he will not devote himself to the command of the crown prince and add wings to the prince in vain." ”
Li Chengqing smiled: "Teacher, don't worry, what we are talking about today is how to solve the case as soon as possible." As for the consequences, this king will bear it with all his might. Well, what do you think about the case of embezzlement of military funds?"
As soon as Li Chengqing said this, it was like opening a chatterbox and began to express their opinions.
Wang Yi listened to it, and it was mainly divided into two factions.
One faction believes that the main culprit of corruption is Xuan Chengli, and Xuan Chengli should be arrested first, and then tortured while collecting evidence.
The other faction also believes that the main culprit is Xuan Chengli, but this person should not be arrested first, but after collecting enough evidence, let the criminal department arrest him.
The advantage of this method is that I am invincible, and I will do it if I find evidence anyway, and if I can't find it, I will not be condemned by other factions. And the disadvantage is also obvious, if Xuan Chengli is the main culprit, he will operate outside, which will naturally hinder the progress of the case.
The two factions quarreled, Li Chengqing saw Wang Yi not moving in the corner, so he said: "Wang Yi, speaking of which, you, the acting supervision envoy, are set up for this case, and your power is not small. If this king wants to solve the case, he also needs you to send officials from the Criminal Department to cooperate. At this time, everyone is actually expressing their own opinions, what do you think, you may wish to say it for everyone to refer to in detail. ”
"This ....... Wang Yi knew that he couldn't escape from this, and he also understood what Wen Tai had just said, saying that Li Chengqing was blindly taking on work, but he was actually scolding himself for making trouble for King Qing.
Although Wentai was not in the court that day, when he came back and heard it, he knew that Li Chengqing took the opportunity to give Wang Yi an official position.
didn't directly point at Wang Yi's nose and scold, that was to save face for Li Chengqing.
Since this matter was caused by himself, and Wang Yi also felt that he had the ability to take care of it, it was understandable to help solve the case.
But there is one thing that Wang Yi has to pay attention to, that is, he knows too much.
After Xun Cheng's incident, Wang Yi understood a truth, many times, it is not a good thing to know too much.
For example, now, if Wang Yi says, "You don't have to be blind BB, brother knows who the prisoner is." Xuan Chengli specified that there was also Zhao Yin, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Pan Rui, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and even Chu Han, the general of the cavalry who had died. As for the evidence, Xuan Chengli hid the gold in the kiln, Zhao Yin hid the money in his own restaurant, Pan Rui hid the money in a cave outside, and Chu Han was stupid and put the money in his own house. ”
So, what will everyone's expressions be?
People will say, "You're going to split the money, aren't you?"
Wang Yi didn't dare to say that he dreamed about it every time, in fact, even the last time Xun Cheng happened, Wang Yi was not sure whether Li Chengqing and Xun Cheng believed it.
No, in fact, if you think about it, nine times out of ten they won't believe it, just save face for themselves.
"What's the matter? In front of us, you don't think it's good to speak?" Wang Yi was still thinking about how to phrase it, and a Confucian student spoke. Obviously, he is also from the Wentai faction, and he feels that Wang Yi has made trouble for King Qing, so he naturally looks unhappy.
"No, I think that this case is probably not just Xuan Chengli involved. Wang Yi replied.
"Hmph, of course we know more than one person, how did he alone carry away so much military supplies?"
"I'm talking about more than one person, not about Xuan Chengli's subordinates, but about other high-ranking officials involved. ”
"Other high-ranking officials, which high-ranking officials?" asked Confucius.
Wang Yi did not answer in a hurry, but took a sip of tea, then looked at Li Chengqing again, and found that Li Chengqing nodded to himself, Wang Yicai continued: "Have you ever thought about what is the use of Xuan Chengli being greedy for those military funds? If I am Xuan Chengli, it is the right way to directly unite with the household department and deduct the real money and silver from the treasury." ”
