Chapter 856 An Uneconomical Deal
Ye Xinyan's words caused a moment of silence in the hall, and all the courtiers stared intently at the young woman kneeling on one side.

Although this young woman is well dressed, she is not gorgeous, her face without makeup looks very dignified, and her words are extremely serious and sincere.

These words are not false at all.

However, the people present were all from various positions in various places. Although they have not directly been in charge of specific fortifications, they know a thing or two about engineering construction.

What kind of project can achieve such detailed records?
It's not that it doesn't exist, but it's too time-consuming and labor-intensive to do so.If it is not an extremely important and delicate matter, no one would be willing to do such a tedious and costly thing.

Fu Wang and Wang Xian exchanged a look, secretly startled.

After hearing Ye Xinyan's words, their first thought was: Why did they spend so much time on such a large-scale project to build a private construction company in Guangsha?Could it be that Guangsha Construction and Jin Rong already knew that they would tamper with the materials, and this was a set up method to invite you into the urn?

In this case, it is too dangerous.

Thinking of those suspects who were detained by the Beijing Yamen, as well as a few key figures who had been sent away but were still alive, the two shuddered.

The emperor was also puzzled, and asked: "Is the construction of Guangsha so important because of the contracted imperial project?"

Ye Xinyan replied: "Your Majesty, this is how the Qi Family Construction Company opened in Yuyuan County. Not only the construction company, but also other mechanical workshops also record in this way. These account books are kept as files and will be destroyed after five years. If your Majesty has doubts, you can send someone to check. It is inconvenient to go to and from Yuyuan County, but the two other gardens built by Guangsha Construction in the capital have corresponding records, and you can check them at any time."

All the courtiers looked at each other in blank dismay. It's just a private construction company. Do you want to do things so formally and meticulously?
Such a large project, that is, the rumored cruel government of the first emperor, has such requirements, and it is only for craftsmen to make a single material number, which is much simpler than making this record in your family.

Surprised, Liu Chengzhi asked with a sullen face, "Mrs. Jiang, do you know that this is in the palace, in front of the Holy One, and the crime of lying at will will be increased. You can guarantee that every batch of materials from the court will be sent to you. Can you find the corresponding road sections and construction craftsmen in the so-called records?"

Ye Xinyan raised her head to look at Liu Chengzhi, and looked at the other old man, it was quite natural: "What did Master Liu say, isn't it the same in all construction projects? Could it be that he would feed in materials in a muddle-headed way? The delivery failed? Although the construction personnel of the Jiangbei-Zhejiang-South line cannot be accounted for in the account books, the leading craftsmen and the responsible road sections must be clearly recorded."

The hope in the emperor's heart was even greater.

Since Ye Xinyan said it was so natural, and even said that all the fortifications built by the Qi family had records, these could not be faked.With that said, targeted fix rework should do the trick.

After the initial surprise, the emperor looked at Wang Xian and Fu Wang with a somewhat unfriendly look.

Although Ye Xinyan has not yet verified what Ye Xinyan said, but as a person in charge of a private construction company, she understands these and puts them into practice.However, the officials supported by the imperial court all boasted that they were talented, knowledgeable and memorized, but they didn't even have this kind of awareness.

Such a mediocre person, what face does he have to speak eloquently in court?What qualifications do you have to be arrogant and disdainful in front of the people?

The emperor's hidden anger towards his subordinates spread, Ye Xinyan was also very displeased, and asked with a deep face: "This matter can't just be based on what you say, what is your evidence? What do you use to convince me and the adults? Can you do this?"

Facing the emperor's unexplained anger, Ye Xinyan replied cautiously: "Your Majesty, before my wife came here, I have already prepared all the documents and records of the track project, and they are now in the carriage outside the palace. If Your Majesty If you need to look over it, just send someone to pick it up.”

This is prepared, right?
This thought flashed through the hearts of everyone in the room almost instantly.

The emperor's complexion also sank, and he signaled Zhang Cunhai to send someone to fetch it.

Then, the emperor asked with a gloomy face: "So, do you know that I called you here today?" It is a serious crime to speculate on the king's will.

Ye Xinyan naturally knew, she shrank her neck, and explained: "My wife must never dare. The husband of my wife, Jiang Yifan, was drinking with his colleagues in a wine shop a few days ago, and I heard someone talking about it, saying that the track project used inferior quality materials. Materials. Because the matter involved the minister's wife, the husband made some inquiries and reported the matter to the Yamen of the capital.

These days, the minister's wife has been tossing and turning, thinking about how to rework the project, so these books and records are at hand.I was summoned by His Majesty today, and I knew it must be because of this matter, so I brought these records with me.Save yourself the time spent running back and forth to find it if you need it. "

"Hmph! Jiang Yifan doesn't do business, but he is very concerned about his own affairs and is very efficient." Although the emperor said that, his complexion improved a lot, and he asked You Chenghui, "When will Jiang Yifan put this Did you report the matter to the Yamen of the capital?"

This incident is recorded in this case file, but it is not the main content. The emperor skipped it and didn't see it.

So You Chenghui replied very reassuringly: "Your Majesty, there is an informant in the Yamen of the Beijing government in Fangshi. After the opening of the Yamen in the next year, I got the news. I didn't know whether it was true or not, so I only sent servants to inquire about the news. The servants Before the news was clear, Mr. Jiang went to the Jingzhao government office and told the minister that he hoped the government office would treat this case as a serious case."

What You Chenghui said was a bit long-winded, but for the sake of her own Wusha, even if the emperor doesn't like it, she must explain clearly if she justifies her.

The emperor frowned, "It's just a rumor, why is Jiang Yifan so sure?"

You Chenghui: "Master Jiang said that Guangsha Construction had just opened in the capital at that time, and it did not have the strength to undertake the imperial court's rail project, so it had to recruit people temporarily. Therefore, the hired craftsmen inevitably had mixed identities. If someone really planned, Only relying on the manpower of Guangsha Construction and Prince Yu's Mansion, I'm afraid it will be impossible to defend against."

The emperor turned his cold eyes around Jin Rong and King Fu, and fell silent.

There was a shortened silence in the Hall of Qinzheng.

After Ye Xinyan mentioned the account books and records, everyone's heart trembled, and they also had their own thoughts.Not everyone is happy that the court has recovered its losses.

In order to avoid suspicion, Jin Rong kept silent, did not make any gestures, and did not say a word.

Fu Wang and Wang Xian were anxious in their hearts.Fu Wang is now extremely remorseful, and his intestines are green.

He must have been out of his mind at that time, so he pushed this project to Jinrong, and he actually wanted to start from this aspect, to give Jinrong a blow.

Why didn't he think about it too much, even if this thing was done, how much would it hurt Jin Rong?Compared with the risk he needs to bear, it is simply out of proportion, and it is simply an uneconomical business.
