Chapter Ninety-Four: You may not know how to embezzle
"Ridiculous!" Confucius patted the table and said, "If gold and silver are deducted, how will the Ministry of Industry produce it?"
Wang Yi sneered: "Who said that the Ministry of Industry must have produced things?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and even Li Chengqing's face became ugly.
"It's ....... "Confucianism still wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.
Wang Yi didn't mean to stop, since he said it, then say what should be said in one breath, so that others don't dare to listen next time. "Let me ask you, if you are Xuan Chengli, and you embezzle 40 carts of feather arrows, 10 carts of armor, and 10 carts of weapons, how do you transport them, where do you transport them, and who do you sell them to?"
"I ....... "Confucian Sheng Xin said, I am not Xuan Chengli, how do I know who he sold to.
"What is the use of being greedy if these military assets cannot be circulated in the market? But if in another way, only part of the money approved by the state treasury is used for production, then the gold and silver saved can be divided among the spoils, and it is not more convenient than those weapons and armor that cannot be circulated?"
Wang Yi glanced at everyone, everyone looked embarrassed, it is indeed convenient to divide the spoils in this way, but the chain of interests involved in our investigation is even greater!
"Acting Inspector, if it is as you say, then this case involves the three Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War. Do you think that King Qing is not enough to make enemies?" Wen Tai finally spoke, and he had to speak.
In his opinion, although King Qing is responsible for this matter, Wang Yi's power is also big enough, and as we all know, Wang Yi represents King Qing.
If Wang Yi used the power in his hands to investigate the case indiscriminately outside, he would mix up everything from the household department to the Ministry of Industry and then to the Ministry of War. It's okay if it does, but you're all in anyway, and you can't get up again. If it doesn't work, the forces that King Qing has been running for so many years may be sniped in all directions.
Although King Qing's current faction is strong, the crown prince is not too weak. If the neutral factions unite against Li Chengqing, and the prince takes the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, all the people on Li Chengqing's side will be unlucky.
"Who said that the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War are the three scholars?" Wang Yi said after taking a sip of water.
"Isn't it?" Wen Tai is a little confused, could it be that his analytical ability has declined? Wang Yi doesn't mean this?
"If only these three people are united, then every time they are greedy, the military resources of the Armaments Department will be less. In the long run, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it no matter what, right?" Wang Yi asked with a smile.
"That's right, so your inference is wrong!" Wen Tai didn't speak, and Confucius spoke first.
"But even if only Xuan Chengli is greedy, the lack of military funds in the Armaments Department will still be found out. Wang Yi continued.
"It's ....... Confucian felt that he couldn't turn a corner, "No, he was already seen by the prince, so he naturally found out." ”
At this moment, Confucian felt that his IQ was online again. There's nothing wrong with you, you've been caught!
"If you want me to say, this battle was an accident, and Xuan Chengli is not a fool, since he dares to be greedy, then there should be other responses. This response is ....... Wang Yi lengthened his voice.
"What is it?" asked Confucius.
"I think there should be one more person who can calmly consume these military funds. In this way, it is considered to be perfect. Wang Yi closed the coffin.
"Who can consume military funds?" asked Confucius again, it was not that he actually couldn't figure it out, but that he had received too much information at this moment, and he simply gave up thinking.
At this moment, Li Chengqing, who had not spoken and had an ugly face, finally said: "Maybe it's a certain general." ”
After Li Chengqing finished speaking, everyone was shocked again.
At this moment, a perfect and huge chain of interests appeared in front of him, he was very tempted, but everyone did not dare to reach out and touch it.
With such a large chain of interests, success is certainly fame and fortune, but once the judgment is wrong, or the opponent hides too well, no evidence is found. Then, although King Qing will not fall immediately, these people under him can only ask for more blessings.
......
In history, Li Chengyu's cracking of the entire case was also quite tortuous and took a long time. The biggest obstacle he encountered at that time was from the group of people from the household department, but Li Chengqing did not make it bad in secret, after all, it was related to the development of the country.
But even if it was just the combination of the Hubu Shangshu and these people, it still caused a lot of trouble to Li Chengyu. Fortunately, in the final stage of the case, both the stolen goods were obtained, and Li Chengyu also won back many impression points because of the emperor, which was politically fruitful.
Of these people present now, only Wang Yi is sure what the result will be if the investigation continues. Others, on the other hand, must consider how the case will affect them if it is not solved in time. It is not only necessary to guard against Hubu Shangshu and others, but also to prevent Li Chengyu from fishing in troubled waters.
After all, Li Chengqing didn't stir up the situation at that time, which doesn't mean that Li Chengyu won't destroy Li Chengqing's plan.
These strategists are arguing over this issue at this time.
"Wang Yi, if you are asked to preside, how do you think you should solve the case?" Seeing that everyone couldn't get a result, Li Chengqing finally opened his mouth. And when he said this, he also showed his determination to find out to the end.
"If it were me, I would have collected evidence of these people's hiding money first. Wang Yi replied.
"Okay, then, as you say, search for evidence first. Li Chengqing nodded and said.
"His Royal Highness King Qing, like this, isn't it destined to roll up stormy waves? It is better to start the investigation with Xuan Chengli alone. Wen Tai said.
"The teacher doesn't need to say much, this king has made up his mind, and you will do your best to investigate it. Li Chengqing waved his hand and said categorically.
"This ...... Yes, sir. ”
......
......
Out of the Qingwang Mansion, Wang Yi decided to play his role.
The acting envoy is a temporary official position, and in principle, it must be withdrawn after the corruption case is completed. However, Wang Yi had already comprehended the benefits of the official title yesterday, so he was naturally unwilling to give it up.
Wang Yi felt that if Li Chengqing really intended to keep himself, then after the case was over, there should be other ways to turn himself into a regular. But this kind of thing is also relative, if Wang Yi does not make corresponding contributions, Li Chengqing is willing to continue to bet on Wang Yi Regardless of whether he wants to let Wang Yi stay in office, there is no suitable excuse.
Thinking of this, Wang Yi began to plan his own course of action.
Chu Han hid the gold at home, and of course Wang Yi couldn't get in. Pan Rui hid the gold in a cave in the suburbs, even if Wang Yi could find it, it would not be easy to prove that it belonged to Pan Rui. Moreover, finding gold and silver in a cave in the suburbs is too unbelievable for other people, and Wang Yi doesn't want to do this.
So, there are only two options left.
First, Xuan Chengli hid the gold in the Tianxian Xiaozhu, which is the most famous Qinglou in Yanjing.
Second, Zhao Yin hid the gold in Mochizuki Tower, which is a very famous restaurant.
Wang Yi took out a coin and threw it into the air, thinking that he would go to Tianxian Xiaozhu to investigate on the front, and go to Tianxian Xiaozhu to see on the back, and if he just stood up, he would go to Wangyue Tower for a meal.
Grunt, the coin rolled down on the table, and was about to fall on its back, but it was blocked by the teacup, and it was so dead that he leaned on the teacup and stopped.
Stand up?
With a snap, Wang Yi's hand slapped heavily on the surface, and the coin fell in response.
Wang Yi nodded: "The will of heaven cannot be violated, let's go to Tianxian Xiaozhu to have a look." ”
