Chapter 656
Yan Beiqin narrowed his eyes at Yun Changqing's words. Obviously, there were three suspicious points in it.

First, he and Liu Weixiang are alternately supervising the disaster relief funds. He repaid the count during the day yesterday, and there was no problem. That is to say, the problem with the 10 taels of silver was only after the count yesterday. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that what Yun Changqing said is false talk.

Second, since the two people are supervised alternately, it must be the time when the patrol is weakest during this alternate time. Perhaps the 10 taels of silver were transported out when the shift was changed.

Third, Yun Changqing counts the money during the day, even if the two people have different ways of doing things and different habits, no matter how you say it, it can’t be so much difference, and the word midnight is too strange, no matter how Liu Weixiang Be careful, do you need to count the money in the middle of the night?
The three doubts showed that both of them were likely to commit crimes, and they didn't really intend to target anyone or favor anyone. Yan Beiqin had already guessed this point.

Liu Weixiang has been in the officialdom for so many years, if he has no skills, how can he become a celebrity in front of the emperor, let alone be in charge of disaster relief for so many years, but the incident of guarding and stealing has never been exposed. He is already familiar with this kind of thing and has some experience up.

Of course, if we talk about experience, Yun Changqing also has experience, but he knows that Yun Changqing will not do that. The biggest problem is that the father does not know whether Yun Changqing will do it. All he wants to see is evidence!

Evidence is naturally necessary, but it may take some time to find out, and judging from the current situation, it is not that easy.

It is impossible for Liu Weixiang to be so stupid as to put 10 taels of silver in his own home, nor in the hands of any of his colleagues, so there are two biggest problems for him at present, one is how the 10 taels of silver was shipped out, Where is the 10 taels of silver now?

Liu Weixiang lowered his head, rolled his eyeballs, and the slight twitching of the corners of his mouth made people feel malicious, but no one saw all this.

Yun Shaoluo's people arrived soon. Although this matter is related to Yun Changqing, it does not hinder the investigation. On the contrary, if he listens to Liu Weixiang's opinion and replaces the guards with Yan Beirong's people, he will not be at ease. up.

After all the handover work was completed, it was already dawn, and when it was time for the morning court, the three of them went together and handed over the warehouse to Yun Shaoluo.

Above the main hall, the emperor was furious and shouted: "10 taels of silver, who the hell is so bold to commit crimes under the imperial city? It's clear that you didn't take me seriously, prince, what did you find out through your investigation? "

Yan Beiqin stepped forward: "If you go back to the father, there is no gain for the time being. There are still many doubts in the case that need to be clarified."

The emperor took a deep breath, nodded and said: "This matter is definitely not so easy to investigate, the prince will do his best, but relief is urgent, I will give you three days, if you still can't investigate it within three days, then you can go back Take out 10 taels of silver from the treasury to make up for it, and the people of Tongzhou cannot be made to wait."

"Father, the son will definitely do his best to not let Father down."

"I believe in the prince's ability." After finishing speaking, the emperor scanned the audience: "About this matter, do you have anything to say?"

The ministers looked at me and I looked at you, none of them dared to say anything, only the prime minister stepped forward and said: "Report to the emperor, the old minister thinks that Master Liu and Marquis Ping Qing cannot get rid of this matter."

"Oh? What does the prime minister mean by that?"

"Master Liu and Ping Qinghou have high prestige in the court. It is the safest thing to entrust the two of them to carry out the disaster relief together. But something went wrong at this moment. The veteran thought that the only explanation is that these two people guarded themselves and stole it!"

When the prime minister said this, the audience was shocked. Even if they all knew that it was either Liu Weixiang or Yun Changqing who did it, no one dared to say it in front of the two of them. Isn't this offending people? The prime minister really did It's the prime minister, as expected of the elders of the two dynasties, he really had something to say, but that's okay, he finally spoke out everyone's innermost feelings.

The emperor narrowed his eyes, admiring the prime minister, doesn't he understand this?Now that you understand, why ask such a question to embarrass the officials?The reason why he asked this question was because he wanted to see how many people in this court only thought about the common people and would not care about the feelings of their colleagues.

Now it seems that only the prime minister has the courage, but the emperor also understands, after all, Yun Changqing and Liu Weixiang are his most important people, and no one dares to offend them easily.

The emperor looked at the two with raised eyebrows, and asked in a deep voice: "Liu Aiqing, Ping Qinghou, do you have something to say?"

Liu Weixiang felt a little guilty, especially when facing the emperor, Yun Changqing stepped forward first, cupped his hands and said: "If you go back to the emperor, I will not be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door if you think you have done nothing wrong. No matter who comes to investigate this matter, I will do my best. To cooperate, we must find out where the 10 taels of silver is located, and give an explanation to the people of Tongzhou."

The emperor nodded heavily: "Ping Qinghou has always been considerate of the common people, you should know what the truth I don't want to hear the most, of course, whether it's you or Liu Aiqing, I hope you are innocent, but can this hope be kept? , I really can’t guarantee it now.”

Liu Weixiang quickly stood up to show his loyalty: "Your Majesty, I have tried my best to ensure that there will be no problems with this disaster relief. Naturally, I also believe that Ping Qinghou is thinking of the people, and Ping Qinghou definitely did not steal the 10 yuan. There is no reason for ten thousand taels of silver, and the humble minister has no reason, but it is inevitable that there may be some selfishness, so please find out the truth as soon as possible, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Liu Weixiang's words made everyone start whispering, Yan Beiqin frowned, and a look of sternness flashed in his eyes. He obviously meant something, and described the disappearance of Baiyin as a conspiracy among colleagues. It is more convincing. After all, neither of these two people is the master who is short of money. There is really no need to steal, and once this matter is discovered, it will be either him or him. It is of no benefit to the two. The most likely explanation is to get Frame the other party, this is what often happens in officialdom.

The emperor seemed to be thinking about it. Yan Beirong, who was standing next to the prime minister, glanced at Yan Beiqin, who was opposite, and stood up: "Father, my son has something to say."

"King De wants anything, but it doesn't matter."

"Father, 10 taels of silver is life-saving silver for Tongzhou, but it is nothing to Ping Qinghou and Master Liu. Master Liu's wife's family is a wealthy family, and the Yun family is also stable. There are so many rewards on weekdays, it can be said that neither of the two adults is possible, then what Master Liu said just now, you can think about it, if the news of the servant is correct, this time, it is Lord Liu who discovered it."
