Volume 2 The General Star of the Pavilion Chapter 173 Good calculation
Lin Heyun was still kneeling in the Zichen Palace, breathing heavily, gritting his teeth and not replying.
From the moment Zheng Ji mentioned that the private seal was fake, he knew that something had already exceeded his budget.
No, to be precise, from the moment she appeared in the Zichen Palace, things were impossible to control.
Even, since the two superintendents returned to Beijing, the arrangements he made were like wild horses getting out of bounds.
It's just that Princess Changding transferred from the private seal to the Anle Hou Mansion, and the jump was too big, which made Lin Heyun's mind unable to turn.
How could Jun'er borrow silver taels from Anlehou's Mansion? Or is it so much as 100,000?
Jun'er never mentioned it!
He wanted to subconsciously deny it, but when he saw Princess Changding's determined demeanor, he couldn't say anything.
If there is not full evidence, how could Princess Changding say this?
Emperor Yongning frowned and said, "Xiao Jiu, what's going on?" ”
"Father, since Lin Jun borrowed my private seal, Zhang Jian reminded me that the private seal is important and cannot be borrowed, in order to avoid him nagging, so I asked Chang Dingshi to keep looking at Lin Jun, and then I found out that she was secretly in contact with Song Zhan, and Song Zan also lent her 100,000 taels ......of silver, which was through Lu Ji Qianzhuang."
Zheng Ji snorted coldly and continued: "Subsequently, I asked people to check that Lu Ji Qian Village, and there was another discovery!" ”
She lowered her eyes and looked at Lin Heyun, and said lightly: "Lord Lin, what do you guess the hall has discovered?" ”
She smiled lightly and said, "The main hall didn't expect that Lu Ji's shopkeeper was very respectful to the guards in the main hall, and he also said that all the silver needed for the main hall had been remitted to Jiangnan Dao...... The main hall didn't know that when the main hall needed silver taels, it turned out that it still needed to be raised from Lu Ji Qianzhuang? ”
The last sentence, her tone was unusually confused, but everyone understood what it meant.
As the emperor's favorite princess, as the only granddaughter of the richest man in the dynasty, when she needed silver taels, some people took the initiative to send the silver taels to her, and they didn't have to go through any Lu Ji Qian Zhuang!
In this way, the palace knew that it turned out that Lu Ji Qian Zhuang actually had an account book stamped with the private seal of the palace. The private seal of the main hall was only lent to Lin Jun, and when the main hall returned home, he found that the private seal returned by Lin Jun was fake! ”
Zheng Ji said that, he took out something from his sleeve and threw it at Lin Heyun's feet.
This is the private seal of Princess Changding!
Lin Heyun's pupils shrank slightly, he had only used this seal not long ago, of course he could recognize it.
But the true and false private seals, as well as the 100,000 taels of Anle Hou's Mansion, Princess Changding went around in such a big circle, he already knew what Princess Changding meant.
"Lord Lin, why don't you tell the palace that the Lin family wants so many taels of silver...... What is it used for? ”
It was Lin Heyun who asked this, but it was Emperor Yongning who heard it.
Since the accident in Gangnam River, he has already gone to Gangnam Province immediately, and the reason why he has not hidden it is to wait for the results of the investigation in Gangnam Province.
Now it seems that even if the results of the investigation in Gangnam Province have not yet been delivered, there are some traces of things that can be glimpsed.
The key to this is Lin Heyun, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, whom he trusts and relies on.
He half-squinted, staring at Lin Heyun carefully, his expression was the same as usual.
There was no anger in his heart, only an indescribable disappointment.
This is his three-grade minister, this is what his three-grade minister did!
There are no officials and no greed in the world, this truth, Emperor Yongning knows it very well.
When he was still a prince, the case of Changping Marquis Xie Jun that he personally handled was enough for him to understand this truth.
After the situation in Jiangnan River appeared, although he was shocked, he was not surprised in his heart.
Water control has always been a major matter, and there are many officials involved, and there is no shortage of officials who are greedy for money by repairing rivers in all dynasties.
But he didn't expect that Lin Heyun would be involved in it, and it would be in such an important position.
What he didn't expect was that after the incident, Lin Heyun's performance was not at all like what a third-grade minister would do.
What did it do?
When the Lin family's incriminating evidence was overwhelming, Yijing remained silent, and finally entered the palace, but he reported the Jiang family.
Yongning
The emperor is jealous of the Jiang family, but it doesn't mean that he is a fool.
If all this is instigated by the Jiang family behind the scenes, what is the Jiang family's plan?
Jiangnan Province is greedy for ink, what he does is nothing more than money, the Jiang family is already the richest man in the country, do you still need to be greedy for this silver tael?
If even the Jiang family wants to be greedy, it is not for the silver taels, but for the power.
The question is, Jiang Guifei did not give birth to a prince, what does the Jiang family want this authority to do?
This is precisely what the emperor is disappointed about, if Lin Heyun wants to defend the Lin family, or find a scapegoat, he can understand.
However, the scapegoat that Lin Heyun is looking for is the Jiang family!
Even if Xiao Jiu didn't come to report the matter of the private seal and Lu Ji Qianzhuang, Emperor Yongning would not trust Lin Heyun.
At this moment, I don't believe it anymore.
"Let's talk about it, I also want to know, why did the Lin family borrow so many silver taels?"
100,000 taels of silver, the quelling of the Shuzhou mutiny is also this amount, what does the Lin family want so much silver for?
Lin Heyun trembled his lips and opened his mouth several times to speak, but he didn't know how to justify.
He knew that the person that An Le Hou Shizi really liked was Jun'er, but Jun'er had always been reluctant to leave him, just to hang him.
It is impossible for Jun'er to want An Lehou to borrow 100,000 taels of silver, and it is impossible to leave such a big handle.
And......
Why did the emperor have this attitude?
That person didn't say that the emperor was very dislike Jiang Guifei and the Jiang family, and he had long been disgusted, as long as the Jiang family was mentioned, the sewage in Jiangnan Province could be splashed out naturally.
Now, how is it different from what the man said?
Seeing him like this, Zheng Ji raised his eyebrows, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
In her previous life, she was grounded in Mingguang Palace, and she only knew that the Lin family had sued her, and provided a secret letter from Lu Ji Qianzhuang and Mingguang Palace.
Now it seems that the evidence presented by the Lin family is too thin and logical, because the Jiang family lacks the motivation to do so.
If there is no motive for a thing, then the follow-up will not be established.
My father ascended the throne as a non-grandson and a long-term emperor, and he has experienced countless struggles, how can he not know the Jiangnan River and Jiangnan Dao's greedy doorway?
But in the end, the father still believed Lin Heyun's words and blamed the Jiang family and the concubine.
What are the considerations of the father?
Zheng Ji thought silently, Lin Heyun was afraid and silent, and Emperor Yongning ...... only looked at the two people in the hall, and his voice was not revealed.
For a while, the atmosphere in the Zichen Hall was condensed, as if something was pressing down, which made Lin Heyun and the palace maid and others uncomfortable.
As for Emperor Yongning and Zheng Ji, their expressions have never changed.
Even more, the dragon saliva curled, and just when Zheng Ji was thinking about whether to break this solemn atmosphere, the attendants waiting outside the hall suddenly sang an inopportune recital.
