Chapter 252: Confrontation in the Imperial Study

Ge Tianyou was slightly stunned, and then changed to a smile in an instant, "Yes, I also specially ordered someone to record the cause and effect of the entire case. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

In the dossier building, Ge Tianyou took down the case about He Taishou. There are traces of being modified between the lines, but the overall result is not much different from what He Qiuniang said.

Thirty million taels of silver went out of the treasury and then transported to the port to be loaded on ships and sent directly to the construction site. Arriving at the construction site, 1,000 boxes were neatly transported to the warehouse of the construction site, and the transport ship returned without stopping.

When He Taishou inspected the official silver, he found that the official silver had been replaced by a stone. However, the transport ship was unfortunately hit by a rockfall in the Two Realms Mountain and sank to the bottom of the river shortly after.

"What a coincidence...... What the hell?" Ning Yue's eyes flickered coldly and asked coldly.

"My lord, you have changed places...... Maybe there is something strange, but the two realms of the mountains ...... But it's really a coincidence!" Ge Tianyou said in a thoughtful tone.

"Oh? Why?"

"The mountains of the two realms are where the two worlds of yin and yang are located, and there are rumors of a hundred ghosts walking at night, meteors falling from the sky, and demons dancing wildly, and it is not once or twice that falling rocks roll. I still remember that there was a large-scale rockfall three years ago, and at that time, a caravan from Anyang Province happened to pass through the Liangjie Mountain, and was hit by a rockfall, killing and wounding a lot, and almost all transport ships sank to the bottom of the river.

After that, the king of Anyang once went to the imperial court and wanted to invite the Taoist monks to suppress the demons and demons of the two worlds. Master Huineng, the abbot of Putuo Temple, was ordered to enter Beijing, but because of the demonic spirit of the two realms of the mountains, it was necessary to carve two hundred zhang Buddhas on the cliffs on both sides of the river to suppress it. The cost is huge, and the emperor has repeatedly refused. ”

"Zi is silent, strange and confused!" Ning Yue shouted lightly, Ning Yue had always scoffed at these strange things.

"Who is the son?" asked Ge Tianyou with blank eyes.

Ning Yue rolled her eyes and stopped talking, "Even if the official bank drops the bag, is it too hasty to directly convict He Taishou's family? How did this case end?"

"Jing Tianfu's style of handling cases is like that, and the most important thing is that He Taishou and their subordinates are inconsistent. He Taishou said that after getting on the boat, he counted the official silver and wrote down the draft. And his subordinates said that they had not seen He Taishou count, so either He Taishou lied or his subordinates lied.

In addition, the draught of the transport ship is recorded along the route, and it does not change from departure to destination. The possibility of being dropped during the transport was ruled out, and the fleet along the way had to keep a distance of 50 zhang from the transport ship, and the sailors escorted were heavily armed and guarded against the merchant ships. So, if the bag drop can only happen before getting on board.

This time, the turnover of the official bank was in charge of three departments. The official bank confirmed that the treasury was out, so it had nothing to do with the household department. According to the sailor's statement, it is impossible for the official bank to be dropped during transportation, so the only thing that goes wrong is the distance from the treasury to the port. And this distance is what He Taishou is responsible for alone. ”

Ge Tianyou's explanation is not flawed, and he uses this theory to extrapolate. Whether this batch of official silver is in the hands of He Taishou or not, he can't escape the involvement.

"But...... Who told you that the official bank can't drop the package during the transportation process?" Ning Yue put away the file and asked coldly.

"What do you mean...... Is there something strange about this case that needs to be overturned?" Ge Tianyou asked cautiously.

"You immediately go to the Ministry of Engineering for me and borrow me the design drawings of the transport officer's silver ship!"

"Yes! Subordinates retired!" Ge Tianyou's face turned straight, and he instantly replied solemnly and turned away without any delay. Ning Yue opened the file again, lowered her head and looked at the evidence on the file, and suddenly let out a sneer.

Jingtianfu's methods of handling the case are even more outrageous than the legendary Dongchang!"

It seems that the cold winter is quietly gone, just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the warm sun in the sky has already exuded its due heat. Ning Yue was dressed in formal clothes, holding the Reflecting Moon Lotus Handle in her hand, and quietly got into the carriage and walked towards the palace gate.

The two fish and dragon match, with the right to enter and leave the palace freely, leave the carriage outside the palace gate, and Ning Yue went all the way unimpeded. After explaining the requirements to the palace eunuchs, Ning Yue was arranged to wait for the emperor's summons.

In the imperial study, Mo Wuxian frowned and looked at the music in his hand. After 40 years of chaos in the grasslands, the situation is now clear. The eastern part of the country and the western part of the country are in opposition to each other, but judging by the comparison of the strength of the two sides, the eastern part of the country is much weaker than the one in the east.

The Tuye Hulu had already begun to shrink their forces and had completed the subjugation of most of the tribes, and there were various clues that they were preparing for a decisive war. Once this battle is completed, the steppe Hulu will end the forty-year fierce war and enter reunification.

The chaotic grassland Hulu was needed by the Great Zhou Dynasty, and a unified and complete grassland was the nightmare of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Fifty years ago, Mo Wuxian was not born. But the grassland fifty years ago gave the Great Zhou Dynasty a great disaster, and Mo Wuxian understood how much disaster it was.

However, the reunification of the grasslands has obviously become the trend of the times. The Great Zhou Dynasty has been delaying the pace of grassland reunification for decades, and finally it is about to be delayed. Originally, the appearance of the Immortal Holy Maiden thirteen years ago and the Grassland War should have subsided, if it weren't for the sudden mysterious disappearance of the Holy Maiden, it gave Da Zhou an extra thirteen years of respite. However, thirteen years is really not enough, according to Mo Wuji's prediction, it is best to give him another ten years.

The Turks have already unified the west, but the internal strife has not even subsided. Their demise was almost predictable. Mo Wuxian looked at the fold in his hand, and couldn't help but burst into flames.

"Waste! But Khan is really a waste! I have given you so much help for more than ten years, and the mud really can't support the wall. And now, you still have the face to send an envoy into Beijing? Who is outside-" Mo Wuxian shouted loudly, which seemed to startle the people outside the door.

"It's a minion...... Minion Water Lotus ......"

"It's a water lotus...... Next time you come to see me, can you make some noise? Come in!"

"Yes, yes! Minions damn it...... Slaves should be damned......" Chen Shuilian pushed open the door with a frightened face and stepped into the imperial study, and knelt down in front of the palace as soon as she entered the door.

"What are you looking for?" Mo Wuxian frowned slightly, now he is annoyed by the affairs of the grassland, and he is not in a good mood, and by the way, Chen Shuilian at this time is not very pleasing to the eye.

Chen Shuilian is the tenth on the heavenly list, and it stands to reason that Mo Wuxian should give him the same courtesy as Chu Yuan. However, Mo Wuxian didn't, because Chen Shuilian and Chu Yuan were originally different. Chu Yuan is a courtier, and Chen Shuilian is a house slave. A courtier can make friends sincerely, but a house slave will always be a house slave.

"The servant Qi Emperor, I received a report from my subordinates yesterday. One of the criminals who were sent to Yashan escaped......"

"Bang-" Mo Wuxian suddenly slapped the table angrily, "Bastard, the criminal escaped and you will arrest him, you have to report such a trivial matter to me?"

"Yes! Slave damn it......" Chen Shuilian was suddenly a little confused, and the emperor was angry now, and he just happened to bump into it?

Seeing that Mo Wuxian did not continue to scold, Chen Shuilian raised her head hesitantly but saw that Mo Wuxian had already held his head and fell into deep thought, "Your Majesty, the secret agents of the Jingtianfu pursued him overnight, but found that the fugitive was harbored and shielded. Jing Tianfu didn't dare to continue the arrest, so he had to report it to the hands of the minions......"

"Jing Tianfu doesn't dare to continue to arrest?" Mo Wuxian slowly raised his head and asked coldly, "To shield the Qin prisoner is to ignore the laws of the Great Zhou, who is so bold?"

"Back to the emperor, it's the newly titled God Catcher, Ghost Fox!" Chen Shuilian replied with a bow.

"Huh?" Mo Wuxian frowned again, the contradiction between the Heavenly Shogunate and the Mirror Heavenly Mansion had been going on for a long time. Originally, when Chu Yuan was there, he was incompatible with Chen Shuilian. But unexpectedly, was it fate for the Shogunate and the Mirror Heavenly Mansion to deal with each other this day? Ning Yue, who had just taken office, was actually against the Mirror Heavenly Mansion.

At this moment, clear footsteps came from far outside the door. The footsteps got closer and closer, stopping at the door of the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, Lord Oni Fox of the Tenshogunate has asked for an audience—"

"Huh...... Is there an unpredictable prophet in this Ning Yue? As soon as you came to impeach him, he arrived!" Mo Wuxian suddenly chuckled and said, "Xuan him in!"

The footsteps at the door hurried away, and after a while, another footstep walked far away in the silence.

"Minister, ghost fox, please see the emperor!"

"Come in!"

Ning Yue tidied up her clothes, slowly pushed open the door and stepped into the imperial study, only to know from the mouth of the eunuch that in addition to Mo Wuxian in the imperial study, Chen Shuilian was also there, so when she saw Chen Shuilian, Ning Yue just glanced at it casually.

"Minister, the ghost fox see the emperor's ......"

"Excuse me, sit down!" Ning Yue's body hadn't yet knelt down, and Mo Wuxian directly interrupted. With a smile on his face, he swept the embarrassed Chen Shuilian on the side, "Shuilian, you can sit too!"

"Emperor Xie—"

The two sat down opposite each other in front of the desk, and they saw an inexplicable smile in each other's eyes for a short period of eye contact. Mo Wuxian tapped lightly on the desk, "Ning Yue, I was just about to call you over, but just now the mirror Tianfu Shanggong said that you harbored the fugitives." Do you have any explanation?"

"Back to the emperor, the minister is also here for this matter. Ning Yue stood up and bowed and said, "Yesterday afternoon, Miss Zhuge came to the minister's house with the prisoner to complain. After hearing about the case, the minister felt that there were still many doubts in this case, so he intervened in this case!"

"Ridiculous!" Chen Shuilian's treacherous voice sounded, and Ning Yue had goosebumps when she heard it, "Your Majesty, the case of He Taishou has been concluded, and the evidence is ironclad! There is no doubt in this case, it is clear that the ghost fox deliberately provoked and wanted to cause trouble......"

"It turned out to be this case...... Mo Wuxian said with a sudden realization.

Thirty million taels, that's a lot of money. After decades of recuperation, the Great Zhou Dynasty gradually recovered its former peak of national strength, and after two generations of emperors encouraged business, the imperial court's taxes increased every year. And 30 million taels is more than half of last year's tax revenue. Just disappeared inexplicably, which also made Mo Wuxian feel distressed for a while.

"There is no doubt?" Ning Yue looked at Chen Shuilian with a sneer, "I just ask, where is the missing official silver?"
