Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Land Was Recovered, and the Old Man Cried with Joy

"Lord Dong, these account books and gold and silver treasures ...... How do you explain that?"

Dong Shangshu saw that Li Sishen had discovered these things he was hiding, and said unhurriedly.

"Lord Superintendent, isn't it surprising that there are these account books and gold and silver in this official mansion?"

"Oh, Lord Dong means it's normal to hide these?"

"For the wealthy, there is nothing wrong with hiding gold in the house, right? Besides, the official does not steal or rob, these are all bright ......."

"Lord Dong's insights are really an eye-opener for this official, but ...... For suspicious items, it is still necessary for the official to investigate well. ”

Li Sishen saw the account books and gold and silver treasures under the rockery in the Dong Mansion, so he asked the cliff and other guards to carefully count them.

"Lord Superintendent, my subordinates have completed the count. Please take a look at these books......"

Cliff took the account book to Li Sishen, and she looked through it and found that although there were many expenses recorded in the account book, those were only used for the daily expenses of the Dong Mansion. Li Sishen couldn't find any valuable clues in these account books, so he decided to look through the others.

"Father, if the superintendent looks through those account books, she won't find anything ......."

"Shhhh......hh

"Don't mention it in front of the six princes, the arrangements have been made for the father in advance, and the superintendent will not find anything. ”

"But...... The superintendent is a delicate person, and he will really see the changes when the time comes......"

"Xin Zhuo, even if she finds out, what can she do? She really dares to take off her official's black gauze hat in front of His Majesty?"

"Father, now the Superintendent holds His Majesty's token. Since she even dared to check Lord Zhao's mansion, she naturally sent us ......"

"Don't panic, let's see the situation first. ”

She casually opened another account book and found that although it was the same as before, the usual expenses were recorded, but some amounts and items did not match it.

"Master Dong, can you explain these numbers?

"These numbers ......"

Li Sishen pointed out the wrong thing in person, and hoped that Dong Shangshu could explain it well. Dong Shangshu found that she was attentive and sharp-eyed, and she didn't even let go of these subtleties. So, he made up reasons to try to hide from Li Sishen in front of him.

However, after Li Sishen passed through Lord Zhao's incident, he kept an eye on it. Seeing that Dong Shangshu was acting in front of her like Lord Zhao, Li Sishen didn't talk so much nonsense to him, and directly exposed Dong Shangshu.

"Master Dong, when I hear you, I feel that the words are very contradictory. Even if the items of expenditure are different, the amount should not be like this...... According to the market price, you are too wrong in this calculation, right?"

"And what...... The monthly rules of the guards in the palace are also wrong...... The number of repairs and the follow-up expenses do not match...... Master Dong, shouldn't you be inside and outside the account, and have made two preparations?"

"The ......"

In this round, Dong Shangshu weakened Li Sishen by half a point in terms of momentum. He was speechless when asked by Li Sishen, and touched the beads of sweat on his forehead.

Dong Xinzhuo saw Li Sishen treating his father like this, and stepped forward to threaten her on the grounds that Li Sishen was actually embarrassed by the search.

"Why is the superintendent so aggressive, and why do you embarrass my father?"

"Dong Gongzi, you said that this official intends to embarrass Master Dong?"

"Are you embarrassed, everyone has looked at it carefully! The superintendent does not admit it, and this son will relay the incident to His Majesty, so that His Majesty can judge who is right and who is wrong. ”

Li Sishen heard the threat between Dong Xinzhuo's words, and he was not afraid. Instead, she looked directly at Dong Xinzhuo and told him.

"Dong Gongzi is willing to say it, so go and tell His Majesty that this official has the position of supervisor, and there is nothing wrong with searching the Dong Mansion on official business. And if Dong Shangshu can't answer the official's words, I will also think that Dong Shangshu has a ghost in his heart and does not confide in the truth. ”

When Dong Xinzhuo heard this, he secretly clenched his fists. Dong Shangshu didn't hold Dong Xinzhuo, and the emperor still knew about this matter.

In the court, Li Sishen and Dong Xinzhuo insisted on their own words. The ministers saw it in their eyes, but they had a different idea in their hearts. General Jin Da, led by the general, saw that the two of them did not show weakness, although Dong Gongzi was reasonable, but in the final analysis, the sixth prince Li Sishen investigated the case first, and Dong Shangshu could not say a thing or two. In this game, Dong Shangshu had the upper hand.

When the officials of the Dong faction saw the-for-tat confrontation in the court, they did not dare to speak indiscriminately and express their views.

The emperor saw that Li Sishen's evidence was relatively sufficient, and Dong Shangshu also tried his best to argue, and in the end he did not say anything about his opponent. Li Sishen believed that Dong Shangshu had something to do with these things in the court against the pit marks left at the scene of the death of King Yin of Jingzhao, the account books in Lord Zhao's mansion, the tiger marks on the assassin's body, and the account books found from Dong's mansion.

Li Sishen once again mentioned whether the matter of the old man's forced land expropriation was also related to Dong Shangshu? Dong Shangshu saw that she had put the evidence on the surface and admitted that the old man's land matter really had something to do with him, but that was because other officials were playing tricks behind his back. In fact, in the final analysis, he himself was also a victim, and then Dong Shangshu also identified an official to back him.

"Lord Dong, you can't blame the subordinate for all these things, you ...... too" The backing Dong faction official wanted to say the words 'participate in it', but when he saw Dong Shangshu's cruel gaze, he stopped speaking.

"Xiaguan...... Confess ......" the official frowned, and suddenly fell to his knees in front of the emperor and said bitterly.

The emperor punished the official who had been retained for the expropriation of the old man's land. The forcibly expropriated land was recovered, and the old man wept with joy.

is finally going back to their land, and the family can now have no worries about food and clothing. The old man is very grateful to Li Sishen and is willing to be a cow and a horse. Seeing that the old man was so grateful, Li Sishen hurriedly stopped him and bluntly said that this was her business.
