Great Qin's son-in-law

Chapter 545 Am I Wrong?I am right! (seeking subscription)
"My lord, there seems to be something wrong with this part of the account book." Gu's eyes showed a look of surprise, and his words were a little uncertain and a little absent-minded.

heard.

Qin Luoheng hurried over.

Chen Ping also looked over.

Gu said: "I just checked according to the method given by the young master. The data of other people in front of me are generally all right. Even if there are problems, it is only a sporadic one or two data that is a bit prominent, but this one is different. In this part of the account book There are as many as seven or eight abnormalities in the data."

talking.

Gu recorded all the abnormalities in the account book on another piece of paper.

Then point them out with your hands.

Most of the data that Gu pointed out start with four or five, and the frequency of occurrence is relatively high, even compared with other data on paper, it is already much higher.

Qin Luoheng only glanced roughly, and saw that the data was a bit strange.

asked:

"Whose books belong to this part?"

Gu flipped through the ledger and said in a concentrated voice, "Taicang Order: Sima Chang!"

"Sima Chang?" Qin Luoheng frowned.

He didn't know much about Sima Shi.

Undoubtedly, the Sima family was a very prestigious family in the Great Qin. Sima Cuo was even ranked as the Great General of the Great Qin back then. Sima Jin was once a Great Qin General and participated in the battle to destroy the six kingdoms. He made outstanding military achievements.

It's just that the current Sima family is not what it used to be.

There is only one Sima Xin in the army, but now Sima Xin is just a school lieutenant. It is said that he made some military achievements in the last battle against the Huns and has been promoted, but he is still a little far from the post of general. I want to restore Sima The prosperity of the family has been extremely difficult.

Sima Chang is Sima Xin's younger brother.

Before the Taicang Order of the Secretary of the Shangshu, he was an iron official for the Xianyang Order. He was dedicated to his work, but he was rarely promoted. It was specially arranged.

Gu asked for instructions: "Young master?"

Qin Luoheng took over the account book and took a closer look. Many of Sima Chang's data errors were related to the paper, and the paper had a high rate of damage. Although the reason was stated on it, what went to the smelting room was ablated by molten iron, etc. Wait.

But this paper loss is too high.

He looked through other account books. Others also suffered from paper loss, but only a dozen or so sheets a month, while Sima Chang had forty or fifty. Four months, which by no means explains it.

Sima Chang has a problem!

Qin Luoheng looked through Sima Chang's other registered data, but he didn't see any obvious clues, but he knew that if there was one, there would be two. If Sima Chang insisted on doing bad things, he would definitely not be able to do only one thing, and the other places would also be wrong. Must have.

It's just that he hasn't seen it yet.

heard.

Chen Ping also came over.

He looked at Sima Chang's account books and said in a concentrated voice: "Young master, the paper that Sima Chang consumes the most is paper. As far as the paper is concerned, it is still invaluable, but it is not easy to judge whether these papers are really scrapped or are they being scrapped. Fill your own pocket, or embezzle it for others."

"If it is really damaged, the Taicang order is just 'not straight'."

"If you are corrupted by ink, the harm is still small."

"but"

Chen Ping paused for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "If he turns these papers into blueprints and sends them outside, then the matter will be serious, and he will almost sell all the achievements of Shangshusi in the past half a year. "

"Young master, you must investigate!"

Gu's face changed slightly.

How could he not know the depth of it.

It's just that he still couldn't believe it. Sima Chang, who has always done things in the dark, would betray the government office behind his back, and steal these blueprints outside. What good would it do Sima Chang?In exchange for some money and beauty?But wouldn't it be faster to follow the ten sons?
Why bother?
unless
At this time, Gu suddenly woke up.

If Sima Chang really gave these things away, it might not be for money and sex, but for the battle of the crown prince. The ten sons are currently attaching great importance to the affairs of the Shangshusi, and the Shangshusi has been mainly improving and inventing various things in the past six months. utensils.

These drawings once drifted outside.

I'm afraid that I will be the first to offer it to others, which means that Shang Shusi's half-year results will instead make a wedding dress for others, and the ten sons will have nothing to harvest.

Gu frowned.

Qin Luoheng took a deep breath and said, "Since you have found out the clues, it is a good thing. Chen Ping, you should start now and thoroughly investigate everything that Sima Chang has done in the past six months. Be quiet today and don't disturb others." , I said, give them a day."

"If it were today, they would not take the initiative to stand up."

"Then don't blame me for being ruthless."

"in addition."

"Ask all the people Sima Chang comes into contact with on a daily basis. I would like to see where Sima Chang used so much paper and who he gave it to."

"Check it out for me."

"Through investigation, strict investigation!"

Chen Ping hurriedly said: "No, the officials will do it now."

Qin Luoheng looked at Gu, and said coldly: "Gu, you stay in the lobby and continue to review the account books. I also want to see how many people in the Shangshu Division I established with my own hands have two hearts."

"An official office established by Fang Xing, an official selected by me, has given me a big surprise in just six months."

"I, Qin Luoheng, have no virtue or ability."

Qin Luoheng's words were very calm, but his face was already as cold as ice.

This is betrayal! ! !

Gu looked dignified, he knew the seriousness of the matter.

He didn't dare to speak too much.

He devoted himself wholeheartedly to the follow-up inspection, but the original feeling of rejection of that new method had subsided for the most part, and he noticed that the inspection method provided by Qin Luoheng seemed to be really effective.

At least for now.

Yes!

Qin Luoheng returned to his position, his eyes full of seriousness. He knew that if Sima Chang really sent the things out, they would have already fallen to the outside world. After so many months, the things on the blueprints have basically been recovered. At this moment, some officials may even contribute.

His original idea fell through.

The lobby was dead silent.

Qin Luoheng picked up a bamboo slip and wrote something on it, but soon, he scratched it all out with a knife, and went back and forth several times. The original thick bamboo slip has now become a thin piece, only the top Still empty.

Looking at Gu who was struggling below, Qin Luoheng suddenly said: "Gu, you and I have met each other, do you think what I did wrong in Chu land?"

The pen in his hand froze.

He raised his head, thought for a moment, and slowly said: "From the point of view of the law, the young master is wrong, but in terms of love, the young master is not at fault."

"It's just that the status of the son is too special, and Daqin rules the country by law."

"This will undoubtedly cause controversy in the world."

"Furthermore."

"Your Majesty's deeds in Chu, I am afraid that you did not report to His Majesty, that is to say, you usurped power. This is a taboo of the Great Qin legal system, and what you have done is too much. Tian', a new decree was promulgated in Chu."

"This is even more intolerable by the ruling and opposition parties!"

"What's more, the young master is also involved in military regulations, illegally distributing the belongings of the nobles, and all the things you do are serious crimes, and all of them are even capital crimes."

"In accordance with the law."

"Young master, you must die!"

"However, apart from the status of Qin officials, from the perspective of ordinary people, what the young master did can be described as shocking to the world, but also pleasing to the hearts of the people. , to the great benefit of the country and the people.”

"In all fairness."

"Young master should not be guilty."

"Great achievement!"

"It's just that reason is reason and law is law. The two are not always compatible, and most of them are even opposite. They can only be one of the two. Before Shang Jun's reform, the Great Qin had both law and reason, and there was a lot of room for maneuver. After the king reformed the law, Daqin confirmed that the law is supreme."

"The reasoning is only for reference as appropriate."

"And it must not affect the fairness of the law."

"The officials think that the young master is wrong!"

"Am I wrong?" Qin Luoheng nodded slightly, noncommittal, and said to himself: "If I don't issue a new order in time, wait for the letter to be sent to the court, and then go through the discussion of the officials, will the court approve it? Clearly, even if the imperial court agrees at that time, it will be difficult to achieve results."

"People's hearts are the cornerstone of an empire."

"If the people's hearts are determined, the empire will be determined."

"When the people are safe and stable, the empire is safe."

"Chu is deeply poisoned by the nobles. If you don't scrape the bones in time to cure the poison, it will be easier said than done when the nobles come back to regain the hearts of the people in Chu. If you continue to use the soft way, you don't know how long it will take for Chu to fully recognize Daqin."

"Can Da Qin afford to wait, can Chu Di afford to wait?"

"I don't know how many people are peeping at the empire's heavy weapons. Everyone is staring at the empire to make mistakes, so as to give them an excuse to oppose Qin, but once the war is rekindled, I don't know how many people will be displaced, and I don't know how many people will have their families ruined and their lives destroyed."

"I don't think I'm wrong!"

"Because that is the best decision I can make under the changing situation, and it is also the decision that is most conducive to the stability of the empire."

"I believe His Majesty understands this too."

"As for the courtiers."

"If they are dissatisfied, I will bear it alone."

"Originally, I hoped to present these achievements of Shangshusi to His Majesty in exchange for leniency, so that I would be affected as little as possible, but I'm afraid it won't work now."

"That's it."

"Why do I need to do this?"

"Back to the court, everything will be clear."

"Gu, go and inform Hua Yao, and tell him that in three days, I will leave for Xianyang. Within these three days, you need to find out all the ghosts in Shangshusi."

"I don't tolerate sand in my eyes, let alone black sheep!"

Gu's face changed slightly, he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but finally sighed, turned and left the lobby.

Qin Luoheng stood up.

Coldly said:
"Xianyang, hmph, the remnants of the old forces, I want to see how much trouble you can cause this time, and I also want to see what the first emperor is thinking. If this time, I can get out of it."

"next time."

"It is the end of the old forces!!!"
