Chapter XIX Ledger

"Oh? What do you mean to let Cai Wen go? Zhu Yuanzhang's face changed, his sharp eyes were like blades, and Li Shanren, who was stabbed, did not dare to look at him.

"The minister didn't, he just felt that Cai Wen was too innocent, a small punishment was enough, and a big prison was too much!" Li Shanren said: "Over the years, disasters have been one after another, the treasury is empty, and every penny of silver spent is well documented, and Cai Wen has no possibility of being greedy for ink!"

Your Majesty, please be clear! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and threw the account book in front of Li Shanren, "Then you tell us, what is this!" ”

Li Shanren picked up the account book, and a trace of horror flashed in his eyes, "This, this....... Where did this ledger come from? ”

"Don't worry where it came from, let's let people check the account books, and as a result, over the years of building the Yingtian City Wall, there is no silver to match the accounts every year, you can see for yourself, the amount is as high as tens of thousands of taels.

It's not that he Cai Wen is greedy for ink, is it because we are greedy for ink? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's suppressed anger echoed in Fengtian Temple.

Fine beads of sweat suddenly oozed from Li Shanren's forehead, who gave this account book to the emperor?

"Let's ask ourselves, it's not thin on you, a few years ago, you said that there was too little money, and we gave you two more money in a row, but what did we get in the end?" What Zhu Yuanzhang hates most is corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and there are not 100 but 80 people who have been stripped of their skin and filled with grass.

But I still can't stop these stupid pigs!

"Your Majesty, there must be something wrong with this account book, and the minister will definitely give Your Majesty an answer within three days."

"Baishi, you are the right minister, you are our most powerful helper, you used to be, and you are the same now!" Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You also know our temper best, and you can't rub sand in your eyes."

You can use whatever you want for you.

It's not yours, whoever dares to touch it, whoever dies!

If we don't have a satisfactory answer within three days, don't blame us! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister has retired first!"

Li Shanren withdrew from the Fengtian Temple, and his whole body was already soaked in cold sweat.

He clutched the ledger.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang has taken out the account books, there must be more account books.

Who counts this account?

He thought of Hu Guoyong.

It had to be him.

He hasn't made many moves in the past few days, and he thought that Hu Guoyong's skills were poor.

Unexpectedly, waiting for him here!

Hu Guoyong and he are colleagues and fellow villagers, the two are officials in the same dynasty, he is the right minister, it stands to reason that he should have the same heart.

But a few years ago, after he and Hu Guoyong fought away Wang Dayang together, Hu Guoyong changed.

originally wanted to marry Hu Guoyong, but it was not possible to do it later.

Only then did Li Shanren know that he had fallen into Hu Guoyong's big deal, so he became a political enemy.

Now Hu Guoyong has grasped the handle, if these silver taels do not have a suitable explanation, he, the head of a hundred officials, will be to blame!

Li Shanren, who was anxious in his heart, returned to the mansion and didn't think about tea and dinner.

Seeing this, the eldest son Li Qi said: "An interesting incident happened in the capital today, which caused heated discussions in the whole city!" ”

The others looked at it one after another, and before Li Qi finished speaking, his wife, Princess Zhu Jingyan of Lin'an, said: "You have to talk about the sixth child again, the sixth child is crazy, it's pitiful enough, you are a brother-in-law, don't laugh at him!" ”

Li Qi smiled embarrassedly, and Li Shanren frowned, "Did King Wu do anything bad again?" ”

Zhu Jingyan smiled embarrassedly, and hurriedly said: "It's not a bad thing, it's just ......"

She said the matter again, "Father-in-law, he just spent some money, and he didn't do anything hurtful, this time, don't impeach him again!" ”

Zhu Jingyan felt quite sorry for Zhu Jun, although there was little contact, but the child was still quite well-behaved and obedient when he was a child.

"Didn't he already sell all the things in Wu Wangfu, where did he get so much silver?" Li Shanren narrowed his eyes, "Are you sure there are tens of thousands of taels?" ”

"Yes, that's how it was rumored, King Wu's personal eunuch used a donkey cart to pull gold and silver to swagger through the market, not to mention twenty or thirty thousand taels!" Li Qidao: "The prince is not like the prince, he is a loser and crazy, how can he go on like this!" ”

Bang!

Lee Sun-in slammed the table and stood up.

Startling Li Qi, he hurriedly said: "Dad, the child should not criticize His Royal Highness King Wu!" ”

"It has nothing to do with you, the old man is full, Her Royal Highness the princess, the minister will retreat first!"

Li Shanren walked away quickly, leaving everyone looking at each other.

Back in the study, Lee Sun-in fell into deep thought.

This year's annual offering, Zhu Jun has long been defeated, selling furniture and maids, he has been impeached several times.

He also proposed to the emperor to reduce the annual payment of the Wu Wangfu and distribute it on a monthly basis, so as not to prevent him from going out to mess around.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to suddenly take out tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Otherwise, why would he dig up the ancestral grave of his father-in-law?

Zhu Yuanzhang hid this matter very well, but it was not a secret to him, the right minister.

It's just to save face for the emperor, and I'm not willing to hold on to a madman.

Zhu Jun and Cai Wen's son are very close and are cited as brothers.

Pregnant!

A gleam flashed in Li Shanren's eyes, and he knew how to fill this hole.

......

At this time, Zhu Jun was holding a clue reference in his hand.

Each lead is labeled with the real information of the provider.

"At the end of the day three days ago, the king left the mansion and walked to the treasure building in a moment, and urinated in the alley of the teahouse next to him halfway!

When he came out, he kicked a dirt dog! ”

"Three days ago, at the end of the hour, the king held a chicken in his hand, went out of the treasure building, kissed the chicken, and went to the cockfighting hall.

Along the way, the chickens pulled three lumps ......"

Zhu Jun looked at the clues, and the egg hurt terribly.

This is really the style of the predecessor.

Insensitively for women, sleeping with cockfights and hunting dogs.

These are clues to make up the numbers at a glance, but Zhu Jun still gave the silver.

If they don't give money, how can they believe it?

For a while, his reputation as a madman resounded in Ying Tianfu again.

also has the title of the loser king by the way.

Throwing these useless clues aside, Zhu Jun rubbed his head.

Today, a total of more than 20,000 taels, effective news, zero!

There are three days left!

"Dog, come here!"

Xun Busan hurriedly ran over, "Your Highness, what do you command?" ”

"Have you recruited all the people in place?"

"The slave and maid recruited seventy strong men, six old mothers, and eight maids!"

"Hit the street, you can't spend any money, can you waste a little more?" Zhu Jun said: "At least 700 strong men, 80 maids, and 20 or thirty old mothers!" ”

Xun Busan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a bitter face: "Your Highness, it's not that the slaves don't want to, those who heard that it was Wu Wangfu, they ran away."

These people were forcibly left behind by slaves and maids, and if they weren't really hungry, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to keep any of them! ”

Zhu Jun was also powerless for a while, it was too miserable!

"Waste, tomorrow we will see what this king does, let alone seven hundred, even if it is seven thousand, this king can handle it!"
