Volume 2 The Tiger Returns to the Mountains Chapter 190 What a crime!

"Your Highness, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense! When we raided the house in Fengjin County, we searched 200,000 taels of silver from the mansion of the county governor Sun Changfeng, and 300,000 taels from the mansion of the county supervisor Zhang Bowei, the white flowers of silver! At that time, everyone in Fengjin County saw it, and the dirty silver was on the way back at the moment, and it would be possible to reach Tianluo City tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and it was loaded with eight taels of carriages! I have never seen it in my life, I wonder if Your Highness has ever seen such a beautiful scenery?" Li Tiantian asked with a smile.

"Since... Naturally I haven't seen it, this .... This only shows that there are corrupt officials in Fengjin County, but you also said that this is just the dirty silver of the county lieutenant and the county supervisor, how could you have searched for Jia Xingde's dirty silver!" The tone of the eldest prince was quite unnatural.

Li Tiantian grinned and raised his chin at Li Yichou beside him, Li Yichou nodded and saluted on the dragon chair and said: "Your Majesty, Xiaosheng is Li Yichou, originally a disciple of Confucianism, thanks to the love of His Royal Highness, Xiaosheng was accepted as a scholar and served left and right." This time, the Fourth Highness went to Fengjin County, and Xiao Sheng also followed, and witnessed all the things in Fengjin County with his own eyes! Li Tiantian just said that he found 1.8 million taels of dirty silver and did not open his mouth, although Li Tiantian was unruly and debauched, he did not dare to deceive His Majesty to commit the crime of that king! 1.8 million taels of silver are all there, of which 500,000 taels of dirty silver will be delivered in the future, and His Highness asked Jia Xingde how he was corrupt? Then let Xiao Sheng tell His Highness that the remaining 1.3 million taels of silver was greedy by Jia Xingde alone!

The eldest prince was obviously stunned after listening to Li Yichou's words, he looked at Li Yichou in disbelief, he didn't know this person, but he inexplicably gave birth to an ominous premonition from Li Yichou's body! But although he didn't know why Li Yichou knew that Jia Xingde had embezzled 1.3 million taels of silver, he didn't panic in his heart, after all, no one knew about the Richang Money Village where the silver was!

"Oh, do you have conclusive evidence for this?" the emperor asked lightly.

"Back to Your Majesty, the evidence is naturally there, otherwise Xiao Sheng wouldn't dare to make a big deal in front of Your Majesty! Xiao Sheng not only has evidence, but also knows where the 1.3 million taels of silver are now!" Li Yichou said with a smile.

"Where now?"

Li Yichou raised his head and stared at the eldest prince tightly, but the eldest prince was empty in his heart and slowly lowered his head.

The emperor is good at scheming, and he has a very deep chest, so he naturally understands what Li Yichou wants to say, but he doesn't open his mouth to ask, but as before, he silently looks down at Li Yichou and waits for him to speak.

Li Yichou pondered for a moment before he spoke: "Your Majesty, the 1.3 million taels of silver fell into the hands of the eldest prince!"

"What?!"

Wang Chuan was shocked, turned his head to look at the eldest prince, who knew that the eldest prince was annoyed and angry, pointed at Li Tiantian and Li Yichou and scolded: "You two spew blood! Don't think that you can wipe out your own crimes with a rake! When did I take Jia Xingde's silver?! Don't think I don't know what you two are thinking! The two of you named Jing Hong's companion reading boy are actually the think tanks around him, giving him advice! I'm afraid this idea was also given to him by the two of you! Aren't you doing this just to win the position of the prince for Jing Hong! With me here, don't you think!"

After Wang Chuan heard what the eldest prince said, he "chuckled" in his heart, and secretly said that it was not good! Although everyone knows some things, you just can't say them, and if you tell these secrets that are not secrets, then the taste in these words will change.

Sure enough, how could the talented man who could speak well let go of such a good opportunity to beat the water dogs, he shrugged his shoulders and said: "What is Your Highness talking about? ”

"Hmph, Li talent, you don't pretend to be confused, the position of the prince...."Before the eldest prince's words were finished, he was interrupted by Wang Chuan's cough, Wang Chuan said loudly: "Your Highness, this discussion is about dirty silver, and please ask Your Highness to talk about things, don't say anything else, you will lose if you say too much." ”

Only then did the eldest prince react, cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back, he raised his eyelids lightly, and was relieved to see that the emperor was not unusual. The words changed suddenly, and he said humbly: "What Scholar Wang taught is that Jing Ming is vain, and I ask you to forgive me." ”

Li Tiantian smiled disdainfully, and said loudly: "Your Highness, it is really not easy for you to have the backer of the old man Wang to get out of your words! You are the blood of the dragon and the marrow of the phoenix, the body of a daughter, I am a grass people, and I am light, but I want to seek justice from you for the sake of the 150,000 famine people in Fengjin County! 1.3 million taels of silver! Do you know how many lives of the poor people can be saved! Now that the people of Fengjin County are pulling weeds and eating, have you ever seen an evil father cook a child and a loving mother cut meat? You have never seen anything! Your mind is full of thinking about your position as the prince, trying to accumulate power by all means, and 1.3 million taels of silver is enough for you to attract a lot of guests! Your Highness, you must remember that the sins of heaven are forgivable, and you cannot live for your own evils!"

"Bastard! How dare you talk to me in such a tone! You are a slave, I am the master, and today I will teach you a lesson for Jing Hong! Come on, drag me down and slap me until I can't speak!" the eldest prince shouted angrily.

"Stand down for me!" The fourth prince immediately stopped the guards behind him who were about to step forward, and said coldly: "Brother Huang, my people, it's not your turn to teach you a lesson!"

"Enough! Brothers are enemies, but it's really a good show for me!" The emperor was also furious.

Li Tiancai still did not relent: "Your Highness, even if I risk my life today, I will let you understand that although this world is dirty, there will be a glimmer of light!

Li Yichou nodded, took out the things that Yu Linglong had given her from behind her, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this is the account book of Richang Qianzhuang, which was secretly handed over to us by an old friend. The 1,300,000 taels of silver clearly recorded in the name of the prince in this account book are not much for one tael, but not much for one tael! Your Highness, dare to ask you how much your money is? In what year and month will you be able to save up 1,300,000 taels of silver? Can you explain where this money came from?"

"Impossible! You can't get the account books of Richang Qianzhuang! The account books of Richang Qianzhuang are top secret, and no one has the right to look through them except Jiang Da, the consul general of Tianluo City!" shouted the fourth prince with wide eyes.

The four princes glanced at each other, with a smile in each other's eyes, isn't it tantamount to admitting in disguise that the eldest prince hid the dirty silver in Richang Qianzhuang!

"Your Majesty, the reason why Richang Qianzhuang can become the largest money bank in the empire is not only because of its strong financial resources, but also because there is a red anti-counterfeiting mark on its silver ticket account book, which has been imitated by countless masters in the rivers and lakes and temples, but all of them have failed without exception! This account book is printed with the mark of Richang Qianzhuang, please take a look at it!" Li Yichou picked up the account book in his hand and said with a righteous attitude.

The emperor nodded, glanced at Grandpa Sun beside him, Grandpa Sun had been serving for many years, and he already had a clear mind, so he hurriedly went down and presented the account book in Li Yichou's hand. The emperor only glanced at the account book when he got it, and then stopped looking at it. He glanced at the eldest prince with murderous intent, and the eldest prince was afraid in his heart, so he knelt directly on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Father, father! The sons are not greedy! Those dirty silver are not the sons of the ministers! They have wronged the sons and daughters! They also ask the father and the emperor to find out!"

"Mingcha, hehe, my good son! 1,300,000 taels of silver! You are so bold!" The emperor slapped his palm on the table in front of him, shaking the government and the opposition!

The officials above were all silent, knelt on the ground in unison, and said in unison: "Your Majesty is angry." ”

"Calm my anger?!How did I calm my anger!My son colluded with ministers under my nose to embezzle disaster relief money, as the emperor, how can I be worthy of the people who died because of this!"

"Your Majesty, the minister has a question, can you speak directly?" Li Tiantian lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

The emperor nodded, glanced at Li Tiantian deeply, and said, "Ask!"

"If it is less than 100 taels, it will be fined for one year; if it is less than 500 taels, it will be fined for three years, and the official will be demoted by three ranks; if it is more than 1,000 taels, it will be distributed to the army; and if it is more than 10,000 taels, it will be beheaded for public display! 1.3 million taels of silver, what crime should be committed?" Li Tiantian no longer bowed his head, and met the emperor's gaze directly.
