Chapter 551: Assassination Intent
The only people who have the opportunity to see the equipment are the adults of the Ministry of Industry and the adults who study the government.
In the research office, there is the adult surnamed Xun and the stone in front of the office, and if the officials in the study office notice that something is wrong, those people in the family can also think of ways to solve the matter.
As for the adults in the Ministry of Works, not to mention, they are in a gang.
After telling the story of the matter, Chen Mu nodded with a gloomy face.
He didn't expect these people to plan to do so.
He sneered, his eyes heavy.
"These people are so bold."
Everyone sighed when they heard this, nodded, and Lord Ye stepped forward and said.
"They use the same method used to build water conservancy facilities in other places, and let the officials who build water conservancy facilities everywhere start with the raw materials."
"Buying some extremely inferior materials at a high price to earn silver, so that those silver taels are considered to have passed the road."
That's all, that's not all.
In private, they will continue to use other means to covet some silver taels for the construction of water conservancy facilities.
When the water conservancy facilities are built, they will be able to spend a lot of money.
"Normally, a water conservancy facility, from the beginning of construction to the end of construction, the total amount of silver taels they are greedy for may even account for three-quarters of the total number of silver taels issued by people in the upper palace."
That's a staggering number.
Chen Mu nodded again.
"Now that I know their plan, you don't have to continue to help them, I'll have someone collect evidence."
"When they discuss plans, they will certainly leave letters as well."
"When I get the evidence, I'll have them arrested."
"At the same time, it also sounded the alarm to those big families in the capital, so that they should stop thinking about these crooked ways."
When several adults heard this, they immediately responded, and after waving their hands to let the adults retreat, Chen Mu glanced at the stone and let the stone stay.
Seeing this, Shi Shi was stunned, he fell uneasy, thinking that Chen Mu was going to scold him.
Although he accepted the benefits of those people, he really didn't have the slightest intention of moving those benefits.
Seeing that several adults had withdrawn from the main hall, Shi knelt down in a panic.
Chen Mu was also taken aback when he saw the stone like this, and thought that the stone had done something bad behind his back.
After careful questioning, he realized that Shi was only worried that he had received benefits to anger him.
Chen Mu smiled and waved his hand indifferently.
"You don't have to worry about this, I know you can't accept those benefits, if you refuse, those people will definitely suspect you."
"As long as you receive the benefits, you can make them feel at ease, and as for the benefits, when those people are finished, you can keep some of them in your hands, and it will be regarded as a reward for you."
Shi Shi's eyes widened in surprise, and then he immediately shook his head, he showed his loyalty to Chen Mu.
"No, no, no, those benefits are all greedy from the hands of the people, I don't like it, I still hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can fill those benefits into the treasury."
Seeing that the stone was sincere, Chen Mu sighed, and finally nodded in response.
Seeing this, the stone finally felt a little relieved.
The attitude of the adults of the stone and engineering department suddenly cooled, and the people of the family immediately realized that something was wrong.
They wanted to cover up their plans, but unfortunately, the men sent by Chen Mu had already found evidence of their intention to use inferior wood to replace high-quality wood.
The evidence was sent to the palace, and Chen Mu nodded with satisfaction when he saw this.
With a wave of his hand, he immediately sent people to those families and arrested the people in charge of his clan.
Those people from the big family were still taken aback, and at first they didn't know what the reason for the arrest of their head of the family was.
When the news came out in the palace, someone in the palace told them that it was they who jointly studied the corruption of ink and silver in the government and revealed it, and those people in the family found out.
They sent someone to the research office to investigate, and when they learned that the stone had not been arrested, and had even been rewarded for it, they immediately realized that it was the stone who had betrayed them.
Only those who were in charge of the family were arrested.
This is not a serious crime, Chen Mu is pondering, forcing other culpabilities from the mouths of those who are in charge of the family, and then arresting the rest of their clan.
As a result, he didn't expect that those people would be so frustrated that after realizing that Stone and the Masters of the Ministry of Works had betrayed them, they sent killers to deal with the Stones and the Lords of the Ministry of Works.
As soon as the news of the stone assassination reached the palace, Chen Mu realized that it was the hands of those people from the family.
Luckily, Stone was clever enough to realize something was wrong when someone broke into his room that night.
As the Assassin searched for the location of his bed, he replaced himself with a pillow and shrank himself in the corner of the bed.
The Assassin walked to the side of the bed in the dark and stabbed the pillow-stuffed bed, and when it was done, the Assassin lifted the futon and took a closer look.
Realizing that it was a pillow and not a stone that had been stabbed, the Assassins immediately realized that something was wrong.
At this moment, the stone came to his senses and covered the assassin with his futon, and he escaped from the room while the assassin struggled.
After yelling and shouting, the guards guarding the research mansion learned the news and immediately surrounded his room.
The assassin was also caught, and in addition to him, several of the Ministry of Works' lords were in a similar situation.
Those few Gongbu adults were not as clever as the stones, and one Gongbu master was seriously injured.
Fortunately, the people in his house found out in time and rescued the people.
When Chen Mu learned of this, he immediately asked Lord Ye to personally interrogate the assassins, and soon forced him to ask for the identity of the person who instructed them.
Sure enough, it was the people of those families.
Chen Mu immediately sent people to surround the mansions of those families, and also arrested all of them into the dungeon.
He was worried that there was no reason to eradicate all those families.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, we have not made any mistakes, you ...... Why are you bringing us in? ”
When Chen Mu personally rushed to the dungeon for interrogation, there was also a family member who was ashamed to say so.
Chen Mu sneered and told them what the assassin had confessed, and those family members were shocked, and then silently closed their mouths, and did not cry out for injustice.
After asking what happened, Chen Mu waved his hand to the adults of the Criminal Department, and then left in a hurry.
Intending to assassinate an official in the palace is naturally not a misdemeanor.
The heads of those families were also very shocked to learn that their people were so reckless.
It's a pity that regret is useless, the matter has been revealed, and the heads of those families and their clansmen have been sent to the frontier together.
Wait until the matter is completely settled, and it will be early winter.
Chen Mu looked at the snowflakes falling outside the hall and shook his head with emotion.
"Time flies so fast, it's winter in the blink of an eye, and no one has sent a message to ask how the people in the north are doing."
"Come to think of it, in the past few days, they have also built the earth fire dragon, the fire kang, and the fire wall."
