Chapter 168: Courtiers Walk Only According to the Law

"How could it be ......"

The Empress Dowager looked at the booklet repeatedly in shock.

The records on the booklet are complete, and they are all the names of the officials of the current dynasty.

There's no way to conclude that this thing is fake.

Wen Yin raised her eyes slightly, and continued: "In this booklet recorded by the courtiers, the officials and amounts involved are only the gambling officials who sit in the village during the Dragon Boat Festival. ”

Hearing Wen Yin's words, the Empress Dowager's eyebrows were even more tightly locked.

The amount of money involved in this is not a small amount.

It's unbelievable that such a large amount of money is only in a gambling game.

The Empress Dowager can't be calm now.

How could she have thought that this female streamer would be able to get such a booklet.

"Where did you get this?"

The Empress Dowager asked Wen Yin.

Wen Yin paused slightly.

This thing is actually in the three years after the death of Song Chengyu in the previous life, the economic effect of Dagan declined, so that the "Gambling by the Sky" was not managed well and was sold.

Wen Yin had nothing to do, but she followed Ye Xiudi to check the account book, and accidentally looked through the account book of the gambling house specially marked on the official's gambling book.

At the time, I just thought it was boring, and I was surprised that there were these connections behind a dragon boat race, so I took a look at it carefully.

She has a good memory and remembers it.

It was to write down the amount and the name of the official.

I don't think I can use it today.

Of course, it was the children of Beijing who won the dragon boat race at the beginning, and now it is Song Jiajun who wins the dragon boat race.

The difference between winning and losing before and after leads to different outcomes for these officials.

Some people get rich, some lose a clean one.

However, because the rumors that the children of Jingshi would win the first dragon boat championship were too loud, most of the officials lost.

The few officials who knew the inside story won the game.

Wen Yin can know the real reason for this list, naturally she can't tell the Queen Mother.

One reason is that she said that she was born again, and the Empress Dowager would definitely not believe it.

The second is the real master behind this bet...... Actually, it's the emperor.

Who would have thought that now the saint not only opened a gambling shop, but also did a lot of business in the capital.

The treasury is so abundant that the Holy One cannot help but be worried about the future.

It is precisely because of his caution that he has a strong future situation in Dagan.

Therefore, in order not to let the emperor think too much, and not to let the empress dowager, she recounted: "The dragon boat race during the Dragon Boat Festival is in full swing, and many gossip has spread that the team of the children of the capital will win the first championship. ”

She paused.

"In this gambling game, the courtiers guessed that many officials in Beijing were involved, if it weren't for the fact that the courtier's husband was jointly named by the hundred officials and was rewarded with a hundred boards by His Majesty, the courtiers probably wouldn't be in the mood to care about the private preferences of some adults."

The Empress Dowager squinted, and her body leaned forward.

"So you had the audacity to go to someone's gambling house and steal this thing?"

"It's not stealing, the courtiers don't forget it...... After reading it once, I remembered that this booklet was transcribed by the courtiers on the way to the imperial city. ”

The Empress Dowager glanced at the ink that had not been dried up on the booklet again, and knew exactly how long it had not been since it was written.

This was unexpected by the Empress Dowager.

She couldn't imagine that this Wen Yin in front of her would have such courage.

The impeachment of Song Chengyu by more than 100 officials should have been a trivial matter, and it would not have been like this.

Now Wen Yin has also grasped the small matter that officials are not allowed to participate in gambling, and she is holding on tightly, just to let the hundreds of officials go around without eating.

The Empress Dowager didn't know whether to be angry or laughing.

But Wen Yin is a person, she agrees with it.

She thought about it and said two words to the palace maid next to her.

The palace maid hurriedly left the palace.

The Empress Dowager immediately said to Wen Yin: "Do you know that if this booklet is handed over to the emperor, you will face the hostility of hundreds of officials. ”

Wen Yin placed her hands in front of her forehead and slowly prostrated down.

"The courtiers know."

The Empress Dowager asked again: "Since you know, you are sure to hand over this booklet to the emperor, let the emperor sanction these officials, and then make the officials hate you completely." ”

You here are naturally referring to Song Chengyu and Wen Yin.

Maybe he will hate the entire General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion together.

Wen Yin raised her voice and said, "The law of Dagan is like this, and the courtiers only act according to the law. ”

The Empress Dowager admired Wen Yin's spirit.

In the end, he is not afraid of committing crimes.

"Except for the petty officials who impeached Song Chengyu, there are not a few big officials in it, which makes the mourning family feel that you are also very principled in revenge, and you will not harm the innocent."

In that dragon boat race, almost all officials in the capital participated.

It's just that those big officials are cautious and won't let people easily catch their handles, so when they buy gambling tickets, they don't use their own names.

Gambling houses can only be counted by name, and it is unlikely that the person behind this person can be traced.

So those big officials are naturally not in this booklet.

The Empress Dowager said lightly again: "It is said that it is not a harm to the innocent, but the mourning family is afraid that you have many ways to take revenge on those petty officials, and you just chose this kind of approach that does not harm others......"

It's really scary to think about.

Wen Yin was speechless.

The Empress Dowager immediately waved her hand at Wen Yin: "Go, go back, your booklet will be handed over to the emperor, as for how the emperor will decide, that is the emperor's business, think about it, it will be as you wish." ”

Wen Yin got up and slowly withdrew from the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

She had been kneeling for a long time, and when she came out, her legs were slightly numb.

Leaving the solemn palace, she let out a long breath, but before this breath was finished, the queen mother was ushered in.

The queen mother was surrounded by everyone.

Seeing this, Wen Yin immediately bowed her head and blessed herself.

The queen didn't look at her at first, but when she passed by her, she couldn't help but stop.

The queen mother turned around and sneered lightly: "Wen Yin, when Mrs. Zhou told the palace that you had already guessed that there was someone behind the scenes, it was for her husband that she didn't care about anything, and said it, at that time, the palace didn't believe it, I didn't believe that you had such courage and courage, and when I saw you today, I had to believe it, in fact, you not only knew that there were people behind the curtain, but also guessed that the palace and His Majesty were behind the curtain." ”

Wen Yin knelt down on her legs and did not answer.

The queen mother sneered again: "Today, you came to the Empress Dowager to administer justice for you, not to the palace...... Do you trust Hongu, or is it because you've already guessed more of the connection between gambling and the future......"
