Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 245
"Here." The old eunuch took the account book from the emperor's hand in response, and frowned.

He looked down at the inch-thick thread-bound book in his hand, and sweat dripped from his forehead: "Your Majesty, do you want to read all of these?"

If you read it all over again, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty don't have to do anything else today, just listen to him read the account book and it's over.

"No, you pick up this year's Niannian, and then Niannian the final total." Emperor Yun Jing waved his hand.

He asked Yu Deyong to read the account book, firstly because he was really angry at it, and didn't want to read it again; secondly, he wanted the courtiers to have a good time hearing how big a mistake Chao Ling had made; thirdly, it was to procrastinate time.

Right now, Mu Wenjing and Mo Jingqi haven't come back yet, so he just holds on to this account book, at most he can solve the mess in the fourth man's house, and he can't get angry at the Hou's mansion, he's bored.

"Old servant obeys the order." Yu Deyong nodded, then pretended to clear his throat, turned the account book from back to front for several pages, found the line "Changle 23 years", and read the words on it aloud.

"On the fourth day of February in the 23rd year of Changle, 6000 taels of silver from Bao Hui and Lu Renjia from Huaicheng Juren, and a string of agates, have been put into storage."

"On the fourth day of February in the 23rd year of Changle, 8000 taels of silver have been put into the warehouse by the Marquis of the Receiver's Mansion."

"On the seventh day of February in the 23rd year of Changle, a coral plant from the East China Sea was collected from Xiao Longtao, a scholar in the capital. According to the market price, it was worth 7000 taels of silver, and it is still in the residence."

"On February 23th, the [-]rd year of Changle, Bao Hui and Lu Renjia's ten thousand taels of silver have been stored in the warehouse."

"Changle..." One after another, the names of the treasures burst out from the mouth of the old inner eunuch, and the faces of the courtiers in the palace couldn't help but become more and more surprised-in just two months, Chao Ling, as the Minister of Rites, was able to restrain himself in one breath. So much money?
And the bribe he accepted this time is probably much more than his annual salary, right?
The monthly salary of Qianping officials has always been higher than that of other countries. The official second-rank civil servants can get about 150 taels of grain silver a month, and there are other rewards on festivals. bribe.

This is simply a beetle (sound: Du) insect!

All the ministers looked at Chao Ling with increasingly unfriendly eyes, but Yu Deyong's account book was not finished yet.

"In the spring of the 23rd year of Changle, the cash receipt was 650 taels, one coral, one agate string, five luminous pearls, three jade ornaments, and five taels and eight silver needles from Junshan, which is half less than last year."

"A total of 110 taels of silver."

"Your Majesty, the old slave has finished reading." Yu Deyong closed the account book, and respectfully handed it back to Emperor Yun Jing, who frowned slightly when he heard this: "Wait a minute."

"Did he write in his notebook 'February [-]th, cut off Bao Hui and Lu Renjia's silver ten thousand taels'?" Emperor Yunjing twitched his lips.

Good fellow, he originally thought that the paragraph in the letter was something specially made up by those people in order to bring down the fourth child.

——Unfortunately, there was an accident during the process, and the silver did not fall into the hands of the fourth child, but went into Chao Ling's cabinet instead.

"Yes, Your Majesty, there is such a sentence." Yu Deyong flipped through the account books and confirmed, "It does say 'Jie Yin Wan Liang'."

"So, the silver that Bao Hui and his wife used to bribe the fourth son did not enter the fourth prince's residence." Mo Jingyao raised his eyebrows, and glanced playfully at Xie Sinian and the two kneeling in the hall, "Then, Why did you mention this ten thousand taels of silver in the letter you sent out of the house?"

"Xie Sinian, have you always delivered the letters that the fourth brother wrote to Bao Hui and others?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, Caomin has indeed been helping His Highness deliver letters." Xie Sinian said in a calm tone, neither humble nor overbearing, "But Caomin usually does not stay in the Prince's Mansion, and only enters the mansion every two days to deliver letters for His Highness."

"When the Caomin is away, most of the letters are collected by the servants in the house," the young man said up to this point, and glanced at Liu Si, who turned pale suddenly, "So the Caomin didn't know who changed it. A letter from His Highness."

"So, what evidence do you have in your hand that can prove that the letter was not altered by you alone?" Emperor Yun Jing raised his hand and stroked his temples, "If there is no evidence, you may suffer a lot."

"Your Majesty, seeing His Highness making such a big mistake but being unable to stop it is already the fault of the grassroots. How dare the grassroots leave any evidence?" Xie Sinian sighed and kowtowed, "There is no evidence in the hands of the grassroots, so it is up to His Majesty to punish."

"In this case, I can only wrong you first." Emperor Yunjing nodded slightly, and waved his sleeves to attract guards, "Come here, take Xie Sinian down..."

"Wait a minute." Liao Zhen, who had been watching with cold eyes, couldn't stand anymore. Xie Sinian is the most powerful warlock in their hands at the moment, and the guards in the palace are used to not being serious when they use their hands. Got it?

Where are they going to find such a powerful warlock again!
Hey, the meticulous work of the small work, A Yan can do it, can such a talent be found?

Emperor Yunjing clapped his hands in his heart, but pretended to be ignorant on his face, so he turned to look at Liao Zhen: "Liao Aiqing, what's your opinion?"

"Your Majesty, according to the old minister, there are many doubts about this matter. Most likely, Xie Si Nian is not the one who converted." Liao Zhen raised his sleeves, "But Liu Si is more like the person who framed His Highness."

Mo Jingyao narrowed his eyes: "Speak."

"Your Majesty, Liu Si didn't make a sound when he first entered the palace, and he pointed the finger at His Highness the Fourth Highness as soon as he opened his mouth." Liao Zhen paused slightly, as if recalling what Liu Si had said before.

"If it is said that the first time he saw that Si Nian was willing to bear the fault of His Highness, he couldn't bear it and had a conflict for a while, then what was the reason for the second time?"

"At that time, all the ministers present believed in Si Nian, but Liu Si suddenly spoke out to remind His Highness about the private seal—isn't this too deliberate?"

"And according to what the two of you said, Xie Sinian doesn't stay in the Prince's Mansion, so naturally he has no chance to find His Royal Highness's private seal, and it is extremely difficult to forge it." Liao Zhen's brains were racing, and he came up with an excellent reason in a few moments. .

"On the other hand, Liu Si, he is not only a servant in the mansion, but also His Highness's personal servant. He observes His Highness's writing and calligraphy on a daily basis, and wants to imitate his handwriting, and obtain a private seal while he is bathing and going to bed. Difficult."

"That's why, the old minister thinks that the person who actually revised His Highness's letter with the intention of framing His Highness should be Liu Si!" Liao Zhen pointed at Liu Si on the ground as he said, with a hint of warning in his eyes.

When Liu Si saw this, he immediately understood what he meant, so his face turned paler, and his body shivered all the time.

This is to lose the pawn bail.

"Ai Qing is right." Emperor Yun Jing pretended to be thoughtful, "But, how to prove this?"

"It's very simple." Liao Zhen made a bow, "As long as His Majesty orders Liu Si to copy two characters in His Highness's handwriting."

"His Majesty's brushwork habits are different from others'. If he didn't deliberately imitate, ordinary people would not be able to write like that at all. If Liu Si wants to imitate letters perfectly, he will definitely practice hard on weekdays."

Liao Zhen put it very euphemistically, but in fact Mo Shucheng's handwriting was "ugly".

It's like a ghost drawing talisman. It doesn't have the charm of other people's Zhengbajing talisman, and normal people can't write that word.

"Even if he intends to change it on the spot, you can still get a glimpse of the details."
