Great Qin's son-in-law

Chapter 546 The one who guards and steals himself is the Sima clan! (Happy New Year)

sunset.

Sima Chang returned to his residence alone.

He was a little absent-minded, even when he returned to the house, his expression was still a little uneasy, he paced back and forth in the house, and said to himself for a long time: "The things I did, other people should not have noticed, I am the order of Taicang, so I can contact As far as those drawings and records in the account books have been strictly compared, there should be no accidents."

"It's just that the tenth son suddenly said that he would leave in three days. Does the tenth son really have the confidence to find out within three days?"

"Is this really possible?"

A look of suspicion appeared in Sima Chang's eyes.

He was the next bronze official for Xianyang before, and before Qin Luoheng revealed his identity, he had a relationship with Qin Luoheng, but he didn't have much affection for Qin Luoheng at that time. Toss up.

Enough is enough!

As a copper official in the past, he had a lot of contact with accounts, and he was very good at handling accounts. He also knew how to do accounts, how to hide his traces, and also knew how complicated and cumbersome it was to check accounts without a clue.

Just be aware of this.

He was always sure that he would not be exposed.

He also didn't believe that Qin Luoheng could really find out about him.

It's just that Qin Luoheng was too calm.

Sima Chang said in a deep voice: "Young Master Ten is coming aggressively. He must have heard some news. Logically speaking, Young Master Ten can directly point out the problem, and then investigate in detail one by one. However, Young Master Ten seems to have done nothing recently. Clearly, what is the situation?"

"Could it be that the tenth son is testing?"

"Or is it deliberately showing me weakness?"

Sima Chang's expression darkened slightly.

He raised his head and looked at the night.

Sneered:
"Even though you are Young Master Daqin, after all, you don't have superhuman powers. If you want to find out the details in just three or four days, how can this be possible?"

"I want to see how you end up."

"Furthermore."

"Young Master Ten, don't accuse me of betrayal."

"If it wasn't for you, how could I, Sima, have ended up like this. I, Sima, have paid so much for you, how did you treat me, Sima?"

"You are unfair, don't blame me for being unfair."

"It's true that you are very talented, have strong abilities, and have outstanding eyesight, but in matters of the court, you can't accomplish things without ability. The eldest son is indeed not as good as you, but the eldest son can unite most of the courtiers in the court, and you can Show favors one by one."

"That's enough to be more suitable than you."

"It's just that I didn't expect that in just a few years, you can go from being a dead person to where you are now. It even made me feel scared. It would be great if nothing happened to you back then, but something happened to you back then."

"Then it will be too late!"

"Furthermore."

"Ten sons, ten sons."

"You have committed such a serious crime this time, even if His Majesty pardoned your death penalty, how can you escape the living crime? When the courtiers all over the world will impeach you, how can you defend yourself?"

"Throughout history, in all dynasties, only by making good friends with nobles and scholars can you secure a high position. The ten years you lost ten years ago, after all, you were mistaken, and you mistakenly regarded the low-level Qianshou as your own supporter .”

"But how can the ants at the bottom be compared with nobles and scholars?"

"My choice is not wrong!"

"The battle for the crown prince, one step at a time, one step at a time."

"If you didn't make a mistake clearly, I would be panicked, but if you made a mistake clearly, then what I did could not be more correct."

"This is God's will!!!"

Sima Chang snorted coldly, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and strode towards the living room.

Shangshu Division.

Chen Ping and Gu did not rest.

After they discovered something wrong with Sima Chang, they began to investigate non-stop.

Qin Luoheng did not stay at Shangshusi.

Instead, he went to the side hall of the palace on Chaoge's side.

Originally, Mr. Wei Jiao wanted to come to see him today, but was directly rejected by Qin Luoheng.

Mr. Wei Jiao, who is over [-] years old, seems a little restless at this moment. He has heard some rumors. Qin Luoheng seems to have heard some news. He is currently under investigation by the Shangshu Division, but he does not understand the internal situation of the Shangshu Division. Not much, and did not inquire about any substantive news.

In a palace.

Wei Jiao-jun drank the wine with an uneasy expression.

Drink a few cups.

Wei Jiaojun said calmly: "What exactly does Qin Luoheng know? I have always been very careful in doing these things. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have found out so quickly. If he really found out something, I'm afraid Something will happen to our country."

Think of this.

A look of hostility flashed in Wei Jiao-jun's eyes.

In fact, he had no grievances with Qin Luoheng before, but what Qin Luoheng did in Chu really shocked him, especially the remarks sent back from Chu shocked Mr. Wei Jiao even more, because Qin Luoheng There is no room for nobles.

And he, Mr. Weijiao, is a nobleman!
And in name, apart from the Qin imperial family, the biggest noble in the world.

In addition, Qin Luoheng has said more than once that what Daqin wants to build is a unified country, and his Weiguo is located in the hinterland of Daqin. If Qin Luoheng is in power, he will defend the country and fear that the society will be destroyed. It was only then that Qin Luoheng began to plan, trying to prevent Qin Luoheng from ascending the throne.

Wei Jiao-kun is also clear.

Although he is noble as a monarch, he is actually an ordinary nobleman.

Not much power at all.

Therefore, he was even more cautious in doing things, even if he was involved, he was very cautious, lest the outside world would find out the clues and set him on fire, but he still didn't understand, where did Qin Luoheng notice the strangeness?Will he be found out later?
Mr. Wei Jiao raised his glass and did not drink for a long time.

Meditated:

"There is absolutely no accident on Chaoge's side. Could it be the eldest son's side? But even if the eldest son has started to make arrangements, the tenth son will not be aware of it so quickly?"

"What the hell is going on with all this?"

Mr. Wei Jiao couldn't figure it out.

No sleep for one night.

The next day.

Mr. Wei Jiao was sleepy and wanted to rest on the couch, when suddenly a guard came outside to report that the Tenth Prince invited him to the Shangshu Division.

heard.

Wei Jiao-jun immediately woke up from sleepiness.

He asked, "Is there anything else the official from Shangshusi can say?"

The guard said: "No more, Your Majesty."

Mr. Wei Jiao asked suspiciously: "No more? Could it be that I was overthinking? The Tenth Young Master really invited me to the banquet? But I found out yesterday that the Tenth Young Master once said that if no one turned himself in yesterday, he would not be merciful anymore. , is it trying to put pressure?"

Mr. Wei Jiao's eyes turned, and he snorted coldly: "I don't believe it, you little boy, you can really find out something, even if you find out, you still dare to really touch me? My country of Wei is very different from your country of Qin. The alliance was established long ago."

"If you dare to touch me, Shihuang will not spare you!"

Think of this.

Mr. Wei Jiao settled down a little.

After asking the maid to dress himself up, he drove to Shangshusi in a carriage.

Shangshusi is very quiet at the moment.

The Mohist disciples from the peasant family were a little behind, but compared to Xu Xin and Xu Sheng who were proud of their spring breeze, the other Mohist disciples from the peasant family seemed a little low-key, but there was a bit of anticipation in their eyes, but the expression was very slight.

Inside the main hall.

Hua Yao, Gu, Zhang Xi and others have already been listed.

All sat upright.

Gu is still the same as before, with a stern face, flipping through the bamboo slips from time to time, obviously laws and regulations are far more attractive to him than banquets.

Chen Ping also took the seat.

His seat is in the middle, not the front.

But at this moment, he lowered his head, didn't say anything, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Everyone looked different.

Zheng Ru, Wang Fu, Li Sheng and others were also sitting at the table, their expressions were very relaxed, and they chatted and laughed with the people around them from time to time. They were already familiar with the people in Shangshusi, but in the past due to their busy political affairs, they did not communicate much , they are also chatting with each other right now.

Just be a little cautious in your words.

Sudden.

There was silence all around.

The people who were still talking shut their mouths immediately, and then looked around subconsciously, only to see a burst of chaotic sounds coming from outside, followed by the voice of Lu Chuan shouting.

Weijiao-kun is here!
heard.

Hua Yao waited for the others to get up quickly and went to greet him outside the official office.

Although they are usually full of disdain for Mr. Weijiao, but after all, Mr. Weijiao's status is above them, and now it's a banquet, so they dare not neglect in the slightest.

Outside the official office.

Wei Jiaojun squinted his eyes.

Looking at Hua Yao and the others who greeted them, a look of displeasure flashed in their eyes.

It is true that he is weak in defending the country, but in name, he is still the king of the country, just a head lower than the first emperor. Qin Luoheng is a mere son, how dare he be so contemptuous of him?
Wei Jiaojun smiled slightly and said:

"Young Master Ten really manages every day."

"I'm so busy, and I still have to entertain me, I'm really nervous."

"After the ten sons return to the court, I will tell His Majesty the First Emperor the name of the ten sons' respect for etiquette and righteousness, so as to demonstrate the virtues of the ten sons."

Done.

Wei Jiao-jun ignored the faces of Hua Yao and others, and walked directly into the lobby.

At this time.

Qin Luoheng just arrived.

Seeing Mr. Wei Jiao, he hurried to meet him.

smiled and said:
"Mr. Weijiao arrived, but I didn't greet you in time. Please forgive me, Mr. Weijiao."

"Since I came to Chaoge these two days, I have been busy with political affairs, but I have neglected Mr. Weijiao. Today, I am late again. I am really ashamed. I will punish myself three cups later."

"Mr. Weijiao, please take a seat."

Qin Luoheng politely gestured to sit down.

Wei Jiaojun sneered and said: "Young Master Ten is being polite. You have come from a long way, and you are tired of traveling. I didn't think carefully before. I just heard that Young Master Ten is dealing with political affairs. I wonder how Young Master Ten is handling political affairs?"

Wei Jiao-jun asked subconsciously.

Qin Luoheng said:

"Tuo Weijiao-jun's words, there is indeed some progress."

heard.

Wei Jiao-jun's eyelids twitched.

He said in a concentrated voice, "Oh, is that so? Then congratulations to Master Shi."

"It's just that the tenth son came in a hurry this time. I don't know what the so-called reason is? Can the tenth son tell you one or two, as the king of Wei, although I am soft-spoken, I still have something to say in this land of Wei, maybe I can help. busy."

Wei Jiao-jun pretended not to care and asked.

Although he wanted to know in his heart, he also knew that such internal matters would not be easily told to outsiders.

however.

To his surprise.

Qin Luoheng said directly as if he didn't know much about the world: "Mr. Wei Jiao wants to know, but how can I not say that someone from the outside world leaked the news to me, saying that there are people in the Shangshu Division who are guarding and stealing themselves. After all, the Shangshu Division is an official office created by me. How dare I not pay attention to it? As soon as the matter of Chudi was over, I came here non-stop, just to find out."

The voice fell.

The surroundings fell silent in an instant.

Wei Jiaojun was a little dazed for a moment, as if he didn't expect that Qin Luoheng actually said it, and then he couldn't help but panic, but he quickly returned to normal.

He dodged his eyes and said:
"Is the tenth son overthinking?"

"Chu is hundreds of miles away from Chaoge, how can the news spread over there be taken seriously?"

"I don't know how the ten sons are doing the investigation?"

heard.

The others also looked at Qin Luoheng.

Qin Luoheng's face was calm, he swept across the audience lightly, and said with a smile: "I didn't think it was true at first, but there are no groundless things in the world, so we still have to guard against it, so I sent someone to investigate carefully once."

"It did find something!"

Hearing Qin Luoheng's words, Wei Jiaojun's eyelids twitched.

Qin Luoheng stood with his hands behind his back.

Lightly said:
"I couldn't believe it at first. The officials of Shangshusi were all selected by me alone. They are all of high character and ability. It is not reasonable for such a thing to happen. Therefore, I also thought that I had made a mistake, so I asked Chen Ping , Gu and others checked again.”

"But the fact is that there is a problem!"

"I gave them a chance before and wanted them to turn themselves in. If they turned themselves in early, I could forgive them, but for the whole day, no one in the Shangshu Division turned themselves in. After all, I didn't know anyone."

"Weijiao-kun, do you think so?"

Wei Jiao-jun's expression froze slightly.

Stiffly said:
"Young Master Ten was joking."

"How can this be blamed on the young master?"

"After all, some people know people, know face but not heart. No one wants this kind of thing to happen, but sometimes it is indeed unavoidable. Now that the tenth son has found the problem, it can't be better."

"It's a good thing!"

Weijiao-kun had cold sweat on his forehead.

He dodged his eyes, he no longer had the arrogance he had when he first came, but instead looked very nervous, and he didn't want to ask any more questions.

Qin Luoheng sat on the table.

His eyes were fixed on Wei Jiao-kun.

Asked: "Mr. Wei Jiao, don't you want to know who it is?"

Mr. Wei Jiao showed embarrassment.

Shaking his head, he said: "This is an internal matter of Shangshusi. After all, I am an outsider. How dare I hear such private matters. Don't make jokes, young master. This kind of matter should be handled internally. If everyone knows it, it will be bad for your reputation. .”

Qin Luoheng said lightly:

"It's okay."

"Weijiao-jun wants to know, I will tell you."

"It's not a big deal."

"And it will be made public sooner or later. Although my Shangshu Division is a newly established institution, as the official office of the Great Qin Dynasty, they, as officials of the Great Qin Dynasty, should shoulder certain responsibilities and perform some due functions."

"Although I have the intention to cover it up, I have broken many laws myself, so how dare I cover it up?"

Qin Luoheng looked around, swept over the faces of everyone present, and finally fixed his eyes on Sima Chang.

a long time.

Only then said in a deep voice:

"Sima Chang, tell me."

"I admit that the political affairs of the Shangshu Division are a bit heavy, but when I joined the Shangshu Division, I mentioned it many times. If this is the reason, it may not be convincing to me."

"also."

"I've already checked out all the people you've been in contact with in the past six months. Don't try to fool me. I don't want to end up in court."

"Now tell me your reasons!"

"I want to hear it."
