Chapter 455: Han Kechen's End
"Last year...... Last year, the imperial court allocated funds to rebuild, and I ...... I didn't repair ......," Han Kechen said with a look of remorse, "I thought that the north would not encounter such a big water, but I just pasted a layer on the outside, and the inside was ...... Didn't move......"
Youdu Yushi said coldly: "Where did the silver allocated to you by the imperial court go, paste it outside, it must not take tens of thousands of taels." ”
"I took 800,000 yuan, of which 100,000 were used for dotting, and the remaining 200,000 were ...... It was used to rebuild, and I don't know how much of the 200,000 silver really fell on the Yong'an Dam, and how much was siphoned off by the people below......" Han Kechen said dejectedly.
Youdu Yushi said: "Han Kechen, do you want to carry these 800,000 taels of silver alone?" Lord Shizi knows that there is someone behind you, as long as you are willing to confess honestly, then you are only an accomplice, although your capital crime is inevitable, but your family will not be implicated. Otherwise, not only will you die, but your nine clans will all be connected. ”
"I know that I will not escape the death penalty, no one will direct me, no one, just my own greed." Han Kechen clenched his fists and said.
Youdu Yushi snorted coldly, "Come on, torture me!" ”
"Don't, my lord, I've already recruited, you want to bend into a move!" Han Kechen said in fear.
But he has been dragged down by two officials.
After some punishment, Han Kechen still bit him to death, and he did it all by himself, and it had nothing to do with anyone.
"Childe, I didn't expect Han Kechen to be timid and greedy for money, but he is still a hard bone. No matter how we tortured him, he didn't do it. The right capital Yushi said in embarrassment.
I thought that Han Kechen was a soft guy who would do anything if he went down with three boards, but he didn't expect that he was bruised all over his body, and he still refused to confess.
"If he betrayed Prince Yan so easily, Prince Yan wouldn't trust him so much." Gongsun Jin said lightly.
Youdu Yushi said, "That'...... Is this the end of the case? ”
"No, continue the trial, my lord, you have to be a little happier, reveal a little tone, and let outsiders think that Han Kechen has gradually loosened under coercion and temptation, and there are signs of leniency in confession...... It only takes a few more days of hard work to know who is behind Han Kechen. ”
Gongsun Jin shook the folding fan, his eyes flashing with wisdom, "Send more people to guard the prison." ”
Youdu Yushi was convinced, "Childe's discord is a good one, presumably the person behind Han Kechen can't help but come out and kill him." When the time comes, it's time to catch a person and get the stolen goods! ”
……
The Prince's Palace.
"Han Kechen's rice bucket, he was arrested, and he still wants to summon His Highness out, Your Highness, do you want me to go and wipe him!" After the words fell, Su Shangqian made a movement to wipe his neck.
Nan Yeyan shook his head slightly, "No, Han Kechen won't believe the rhetoric of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, if he betrays me, he knows the consequences, if he carries it, I will protect his family, you go down and make arrangements, this time the nine clans of the Han family are connected, or sold into the sect, or exiled to the frontier, you have to save them unknowingly." ”
"Lord Wang, Han Kechen is dead, do you still care about his family?" Su Shangqian was puzzled, "This idiot stabbed such a big basket for the prince, it's good that the prince didn't kill it all." ”
Nan Yeyan said lightly: "Han Kechen is dead, but the other ministers are watching. How I treat Han Kechen today, how they will repay me in the future, but this king does not want to have this kind of basket again. ”
"Your Highness is clever!" Su Shangqian suddenly realized.
……
Fengnu Academy, Chaofeng Palace.
The torrential rain continued, and the academy was still suspended, and only the ladies of the Chaohuang Fourth Palace returned to the academy because they received an edict.
The stagnant water in Kyoto has finally cleared, but out of Kyoto, the northern land is a vast ocean.
"It's been raining for twenty days, when will it stop? My dad won't let me go out! An Shuhui walked in, shook off the rain on his placket, and said.
Zhao Fumeng said with a smile: "Qin Tianjian said that there are still ten days of heavy rain......
"It's really fatal, I've never seen such a heavy rain in Kyoto."
An Shuhui said, "It's the first time that Kyoto has been flooded...... Hey, Mu Yun, why didn't you see her today. ”
Jiang Wanxiu smiled lightly: "Mu Yun has entered the palace, and Mrs. Helan sent her to the Huang Court for several months of training. ”
"Boudoir women, isn't it only female officials who can enter the Huang Court?" An Shuhui said in surprise.
Zhao Fumeng said in surprise: "It seems that the royal family can...... It seems that this Mrs. Helan has a lot of relationship with the royal family, and she can have such a way. ”
"I don't know the specifics, but Mu Yun said that everything is fine with her." Jiang Wanxiu pursed her lips, paused and said, "I invite everyone to come here today because of the latest edict of the Huang Court to raise money, buy goods, and support Lanzhou. ”
Lanzhou was flooded, and the four palaces of Fengnu all received the edict of the Huang Court.
It is difficult to buy things by donating silver directly, so let these ladies and the families behind them show their magic and donate materials.
And the things that each of the four houses is responsible for are also different.
At this moment, Su Hannuo also walked in and said, "Jiang Yugong, what are we going to donate to Chaofeng Palace this time?" ”
"Wan Xiu, you also notified Su Hannuo and them?" An Shuhui looked at Su Hannuo and the others hostilely.
Jiang Wanxiu snorted, "Chaofeng Palace's edict is not just a matter for our side. ”
"You think I'm willing to work with you? If you don't want to join us, if you have the ability, you can quit Chaofeng Palace! Su Hannuo said.
Zhao Fumeng raised his eyebrows and said: "Wan Xiu is the imperial palace, even if she withdraws, she should be a low-ranking female official." ”
"How dare you talk to Miss Ben like that!" Su Hannuo's willow eyebrows were upside down, and his eyes were cold.
is obviously from a noble background, but the position of a female official is lower than Jiang Wanxiu, and she has to obey Jiang Wanxiu in Chaofeng Palace, which is a great shame for her.
The two sides are like fire and water at once, and they are about to fight at any time.
"Wanxiu." An Shuhui pulled Jiang Wanxiu's sleeve and whispered: "It's not that I can't get used to Su Hannuo and don't join her, I'm afraid that she will do bad things." Our own people, there must be no problem. But Su Hannuo is with us, who knows what bad intentions she plays. At that time, you will be the master of Chaofeng Palace, and it is your responsibility to make any mistakes. ”
Jiang Wanxiu patted her hand and said, "Don't worry, I have my own measure in this matter." ”
After the words fell, Jiang Wanxiu looked at Su Hannuo and said: "The edict asks us to donate medicinal materials and bedding to Fenggong and send them to the Yezhou area east of Lanzhou, where millions of people who have evacuated from Lanzhou are gathered. So the medicinal quilt, you choose the same, organize the people on your side to donate money to buy it, put it in the warehouse of Fengnu Academy, and I will do the rest. ”
Su Hannuo is only responsible for purchasing one kind of goods, and it is also her responsibility to have problems at that time, so as to minimize the possible troubles.
"Okay." Su Hannuo thought for a while and said, "I don't have any access to medicinal materials, and I am in charge of the quilt." ”
Jiang Wanxiu bowed slightly,
"Okay, I'll leave the herbs here. You can prepare the quilt and send it to the academy warehouse. ”
"Okay." Su Hannuo looked at Jiang Wanxiu with a smile, "Don't be as a royal palace, and the amount of money you raise is not as much as that of me, so it will be funny." ”
Jiang Wanxiu looked at her calmly, "Miss Su, the silver donated by you alone is comparable to so many of us, how dare you compare with Miss Su." ”
"You're self-aware." Su Hannuo snorted coldly and walked away triumphantly with his own people.
An Shuhui looked at her back and said angrily: "What kind of person, show off your might!" ”
"It's okay, whatever, she's willing to donate more, and I thank her for the people of Lanzhou. I've been working hard for everyone lately. ”
The list of donations will be presented to the Emperor and Empress for the Imperial Examination, and will be preserved as a historical record.
For these families who pay attention to the longevity, they will definitely respond positively.
In addition to the four palaces of the phoenix girl, other ladies also want to donate, these need to be contacted by everyone, and the four palaces are also completely busy.
……
Coming out of Fengnu Academy, Jiang Wanxiu returned to Yunxiao Pavilion to find Song Yuanxi.
To purchase medicinal materials, you still have to find a global trading house.
When they entered the main hall, they saw Song Yuanxi and Gongsun Jin talking something seriously, and their footsteps stopped in place so as not to disturb them.
But Song Yuanxi had already seen her, and beckoned to her, "What are you doing standing at the door, come in, it's raining heavily outside." ”
"How dare I disturb the deliberations of the two adults." Jiang Wanxiu smiled when she heard this, walked in, and said, "Gongsun Gongzi's face is so cautious, could it be that something big happened in the court?" ”
Gongsun Jin smiled helplessly, "Han Kechen was killed." ”
"Huh?" Jiang Wanxiu was surprised, "Who did it?" ”
Gongsun Jin said regretfully: "The deceased committed suicide on the spot, we are still one step late, and now that the main culprit is dead, the case can only be closed." The Han family was raided, but no evidence was found, Han Kechen's relatives had already run away, and now the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Criminal Department are arresting them back, if Han Kechen is willing to confess to the behind-the-scenes instructions, his family will be fine, but now the male is exiled, the female family is a prostitute, and the Han family is miserable by himself. ”
It turned out that Han Kechen was dead.
"But what the prince means is that the matter has come to this, so forget it, anyway, now that Prince Yan has completely lost control of the Ministry of Works, he has lost an important right-hand man, and the Ministry of Works should fall into the camp of the neutral party."
Gongsun Jin got up with a smile, "Since the princess is here, I won't bother and say goodbye." ”
Jiang Wanxiu hurriedly said, "It's okay......"
But Gongsun Jin is gone, and he resolutely does not disturb the prince and his wife to talk about love.
……
Su Yuan.
"Why is my brother so angry today, is His Highness reprimanding you again?" Su Hannuo raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but laugh.
Su Shangqian spread his hands, "This really has nothing to do with me, the queen sent someone to kill Han Kechen, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan thought that I was making an opinion, and called me over to reprimand, after learning that I didn't do it, he apologized to me and asked me to go to the queen's aunt to ask for an explanation, but the queen's aunt reprimanded me again, saying that I had no conscience, and I didn't kill Han Kechen earlier......"
"Han Kechen naturally won't betray His Highness, His Highness is as kind to him as a mountain, why did my aunt send someone to kill Han Kechen?" Su Hannuo said in surprise.
Su Shangqian was helpless, "His Royal Highness Prince Yan is as stable as Mount Tai, but the queen is afraid that Han Kechen will really loosen her mouth and shake her out...... So that's it...... When I came back, His Royal Highness Prince Yan was still arguing with the Queen Mother......"
"Auntie is too impatient this time, what will the ministers of the Prince of Death Party think in the future!" Su Hannuo sighed, "Brother, let's not get involved in this kind of thing, that mysterious girl gave me a good idea to drive Jiang Wanxiu away, but I have to find a scapegoat first, you help me sum up, is there anyone in Beijing who does cloth business, and still has a grudge against Jiang Wanxiu?" ”
Su Shangqian thought for a moment, "The eyes are red Jiang Wanxiu, there are people who hate her all over Kyoto, and those who happen to be in the cloth business are also all over the street, by the way, I think of a person......"
