"His Royal Highness the Prince, I ...... I knew I was wrong, and I didn't want to unite those families to do evil, but ...... But they threatened me, they threatened me with the wrong things my son had done. ”

"They said that if I didn't help them, they would make my son's affairs public, and I couldn't let my son's reputation be damaged!"

The old minister said this with snot and tears, looking pitiful.

When Chen Mu heard the old minister say this, he pursed his lips disdainfully.

"So you're helping the Lu family do such evil things? Do you think I'll forgive you if you say that? It's ridiculous. ”

"I didn't ...... I didn't ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for forgiveness, I just wanted to tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that I ...... I had no intention of disobeying your orders, Your Highness the Crown Prince......"

When the old minister said this, he began to cry again, looking grief-stricken.

Chen Mu didn't bother to watch him act, and waved his hand to his subordinates, asking people to come forward and pick up the evidence in front of the old minister.

The letters were put away, and the old minister glanced at them, and then was stunned.

Chen Muben was watching coldly, seeing the subtle look on the old minister's face, he raised his eyebrows, he watched the old minister's eyes move, and then, he was slightly relieved.

Chen Mu couldn't help frowning when he saw the old minister's appearance.

What a relieved look.

Is there anything missing from the evidence that you have put together?

Chen Mu was so smart that he naturally saw the trick at a glance.

However, he was silent, and after letting the old minister of the family pacify him, Chen Mu immediately took people back to the palace, and arranged for people to go to the old minister's mansion to investigate.

The old minister did not live with his juniors, but only in an independent house, and he was also an important minister in the court, and there were not many maids and servants who served him in his belly.

The old minister likes to set up an image of a pure heart and few desires for himself outside, and the mansion is also quite dull.

After some of his subordinates searched the old minister's house, they did not find any evidence of letters.

Chen Mu was surprised, and thought that there was something important that he had omitted.

Just as he was about to ask someone to go to the house of the old minister's heir to search, Chen Mu heard that an adult who had studied the government had come to visit.

Chen Mu was stunned, and then waved his hand to let people in.

He thought it was the adults who studied the government and made progress in studying those equipment.

However, this time it was beyond his expectations, after waving his hand to let people into the lobby.

Chen Mu looked at the adult who knelt down in front of him with a thud, and jumped his eyebrows in surprise.

The adult's face was full of nervousness, and it didn't look like he had come to report on the research of the device.

The adult trembled his hands, took out a stack of letters from his arms, and presented them to Chen Mu.

Seeing this, Chen Mu took the letter, flipped through it carefully, and saw the content of the letter clearly, Chen Mu raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"What do you mean? Someone is doing something to those textile machines? Textile equipment has been promoted to all states, and some people hide textile equipment in their own hands and resell it to the people of various states and counties at a high price? ”

"The county magistrates of the prefectures and counties did not report this matter to me, did they conspire with the officials who bought the equipment, or did they not know about it at all?"

The evidence presented by the Imperial Government of the Ministry of Research shows that the Minister of Works of the First Family of the First Dynasty of the DPRK took the equipment that had been promoted into his own hands and resold it to the merchants and people of the prefectures and counties at a high price.

Chen Mu has already promoted these equipment, and the price of the promotion is twenty-five taels of silver per plane.

If the merchant who buys the equipment is willing to keep the textile workers in his own house as the workers who manipulate the equipment, he can also pay zero subsidies to the capital on a per capita basis.

This is a decree and measure issued by Chen Mu in order to leave a way out for those textile workers.

In the capital, after the initial turmoil, the promotion of prevention and control equipment was very smooth, and those adults in the city were also willing to act according to the measures issued by Chen Mu.

Because of this measure issued by Chen Mu, many textile workers were left behind in the merchants and government offices, and they were able to continue to earn a living for themselves.

Chen Mu originally thought that the situation in various states and counties should also be the same.

He didn't expect it......

Chen Mu clenched the letters.

The official of the research government who had come to deliver the letters bowed and explained how he had obtained these letters.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, my surname is Zhao, my name is Zhao You, I returned to my hometown to visit relatives some time ago, and I learned that in my hometown, someone bought textile equipment at a very high price."

He was amazed at the time. I asked people to inquire about it, and then they learned about it.

After he returned to the capital, he made people stare at the big family, and it took a lot of effort to get these letters.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, I handed over these letters to you, most of them will be targeted by those people, and I also hope that you can stand up for the people and merchants of various states and counties."

"Some of them knew that they had paid a lot of money for the textile equipment, while others did not."

"Those people who don't know have been resentful because of the high price of textile equipment and the limited service life."

"I thought about it, you are promoting the equipment for the benefit of the people, not to let those people in the family take advantage of the loopholes, so I ......"

When he said this, he arched his hand at Chen Mu again.

Chen Mu immediately understood what he meant, and he waved his hand to help the adult up.

Chen Mu said earnestly.

"I'm glad you have such a keen sense of insight and willingness to work hard and collect evidence on this matter."

"When this matter is clarified and closed, I will reward you."

Seeing Chen Mu say this, Zhao You immediately bowed down and thanked Chen Mu.

Chen Mu saw this. He waved his hand carelessly.

He thought of Zhao You's words again and was surprised.

"By the way, I listen to you, after you got this evidence, were you targeted by those people from the big family?"

Zhao You nodded and responded.

"I bought a junior in that family and asked him to help me with my errands."

"When the little guy escaped from the mansion, someone noticed that something was wrong, and someone followed the line of the little guy and found me."

Zhao You said this, raised his hand again to wipe the hot sweat from his forehead, and he smiled reluctantly.

"I also noticed that someone was targeting, so I hurried into the palace, I always felt that these evidence was not enough, and some of the evidence was not found."

"But I thought about giving this evidence to you, Your Highness the Prince, and you must be willing to believe me, so I came."

It's a good thing to be willing to believe in yourself.

Chen Mu nodded in response, waved his hand to his subordinates, and asked people to take Zhao You down.

He also sent guards to protect Zhao You's safety, and Chen Mu immediately sent someone to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Coincidentally, this family that resold textile equipment without permission happened to be the family of the old minister who was caught in the dungeon.

Chen Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, and recalled the old minister's confession that day.
