Xiao Chen went directly to the imperial study.

Of course, in order to avoid problems, Xiao Chen took a detour and passed over from the sixth princess.

After entering, Xiao Chen saw Chu Yanwu with a gloomy face.

Xiao Chen was not unaware of Zhou Tianfu's plan.

Xiang Yichun was in the cell before when he negotiated with Jiang Rongfeng.

Jiang Rongfeng said how Zhou Tianfu poured dirty water on himself, which was nothing more than reporting the corruption figures to Dali, and overreported a few million taels.

Looking at Chu Yanwu's current situation, it should only be this situation......

Xiao Chen has a spectrum in his heart, he has asked someone to make arrangements before, and today, it can be regarded as nine out of ten.

So his expression was quite indifferent, and he saluted respectfully: "Xiao Chen greets Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live." ”

And at this time, Chu Yanwu didn't want to hide anything, and he didn't even let him go, just looked at Xiao Chen with a cold gaze.

Xiao Chen was not in a hurry, neither arrogant nor humble, and his tone was quite indifferent: "I don't know why Your Majesty is looking for Xiao Chen to come over?" ”

"So what? Are you embarrassed to ask this? ”

Chu Yanwu sneered, with a murderous aura in his tone: "You should also know what I've been worrying about lately!" It's nothing more than the treasure that was shipped from Gangdong Province! ”

"Now, the people I sent to salvage the sunken ship have spread the news!"

Xiao Chen's face was flat, and he said respectfully: "Xiao Chen can guarantee it!" Xiao Chen didn't deceive at all, nor did he do anything greedy! ”

Chu Yanwu sneered and said, "You didn't do anything greedy, but the amount of money is not right!" ”

"The amount of money you reported to me is indeed no different from what was found out in the end...... But do you know that the figures given by Jiangdong Province Taijiang Rongfeng are not like this at all! ”

Xiao Chen's tone was flat: "Your Majesty, my loyalty can be seen by the sun and the moon, you can go and check!" ”

Chu Yanwu didn't say much, and directly threw the secret letter on Xiao Chen: "There are two million and four hundred thousand taels of silver in the middle, which is equivalent to two hundred and forty thousand taels of gold!" ”

Xiao Chen frowned and glanced at the letter, and then denied it: "Your Majesty, this is really quite wronged!" ”

But Chu Yanwu really didn't want to communicate with Xiao Chen: "Wronged? ”

"Don't tell me that this gold 240,000 taels was only blown out in Jiangdong Daotai Jiang Rongfeng!"

Xiao Chen didn't say much in the face of Chu Yanwu's suspicions.

His tone was very calm, and he also cut in from a perspective that was easier to think about: "Your Majesty, you can think about it carefully...... Jiang Rongfeng is just Jiangdong Daotai? His five million taels of silver is already the upper limit...... Embezzled 3,600,000 taels of silver, equivalent to 360,000 taels of gold, is this the guts he can have? ”

Xiao Chen actually didn't directly say that this was Jiang Rongfeng wronging him.

Because it's actually quite pale, and it's definitely not convincing......

So Xiao Chen said it from a different angle, judging directly from the source of this money.

Chu Yanwu was only naturally angry, but as a superior and a king, he was not without basic judgment.

It can even be said that his mind is stronger than that of most people.

He also realized that there was something wrong with his logic.

Although Jiang Rongfeng said that he was Jiangdong Daotai, he was only Jiangdong Daotai...... is a platform, and he is not a powerful official.

Embezzled 360,000 taels of gold, does he have that dog guts? Or rather, well, does he have that ability?

Chen Jin also narrowed his eyes slightly, and he also sensed that something was wrong.

Seeing that I was really careless before...... I didn't even notice such a basic thing.

Xiao Chen struck while the iron was hot: "Your Majesty, as for what Jiang Rongfeng said, in fact, it can't be counted at all!" You still have to start with the facts......"

"If you confirm that there is a problem, I suggest that you call Jiang Rongfeng directly, if you ask in person, he will not dare to fake even if he has 100,000 guts!"

Xiao Chen not only gave a solution to the problem, but also held Chu Yanwu a little.

Chu Yanwu's eyes softened slightly, waved his hand again, and said, "Count you as acquaintances, get up first." As for Jiang Rongfeng's side...... Companion, you send someone to bring him immediately! ”

Chen Jin didn't say much, and immediately found another eunuch to bring someone over.

Half an hour later, Jiang Rongfeng was taken to the imperial study by the eunuch.

After all, after staying in the prison for so many days and being tortured, Jiang Rongfeng was in a very bad state at this time, wearing a prison uniform, a stubbed beard, and blood stains all over his body.

When facing Chu Yanwu, he didn't think about it, he knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Sinner Jiang Rongfeng, knock on Your Majesty!" ”

As he spoke, he kowtowed a few times.

Chu Yanwu said in a cold voice: "The matter has come to this, you don't need to be like this!" I have called you this time, and I have only one thing to ask you, how much money you have embezzled! ”

Jiang Rongfeng had actually become a will to die, and he also felt Xiao Chen's gaze fall on him as if nothing.

Thinking of his young son, he didn't think much about it, and immediately said according to what he had prepared:

"Your Majesty! The criminal only embezzled 1.2 million taels of silver, and as for the later confession, it was definitely not true! ”

When Chu Yanwu heard this, anger appeared in his eyes: "Then why did you commit perjury?" And who made you do this! ”

Jiang Rongfeng almost cried: "Your Majesty, although the criminal minister is a bastard, he is definitely not a bastard to that extent...... The behind-the-scenes commander is actually Zhou Tianfu, the prime minister of the DPRK and China! ”

"It was Zhou Tianfu who forced the criminal to do this!"

When Chu Yanwu heard this, his heart moved slightly.

Jiang Rongfeng and Zhou Tianfu are of the same faction, Chu Yanwu also knows, after all, although the two of them are not closely related in the DPRK and China, they are definitely watching and helping each other, and clues can also be seen in some incidents ......in the past two years.

For example, if there is a slight change in the DPRK and China, Jiang Rongfeng can quickly get the news.

Moreover, Jiang Rongfeng's teacher is also Zhou Tianfu.

"I also believe that you dare not tell lies in front of me, but there is one thing that is more important......"

Chu Yanwu slowly sat down, and his face sank: "Xiao Chen, is it really not greedy at all?" ”

He didn't believe that Xiao Chen was a saint!

Xiao Chen didn't say much.

Because he knew that he couldn't argue at this time, and the more he did it, the more he seemed to be weak-hearted......

I still have to give time for Chu Yanwu to digest it.

Chu Yanwu was actually in a dilemma, his fingers knocked on the tabletop as if he were nothing, and his eyes stayed on Xiao Chen or Jiang Rongfeng from time to time.
