Chapter 423 Who is cheating who ([-])
Boy, laugh, keep laughing, sometimes you will cry!
While a group of people were arguing endlessly, Hong Qing sat still, with her eyes slightly closed, seemingly indifferent to everything, but in fact her attention was not distracted, she was always silently observing Watching every move of all the people in the arena, the smile on the corner of Hongli's mouth became more and more radiant, but the evil spirit in Hongqing's heart suddenly rose, but he didn't rush to reveal the hole card Until Magu rolled up his sleeves and was about to make a move, Hong Qing suddenly opened his eyes, and let out a sigh of relief: "That's enough, sit down for Ben Belle!"

"My lord, he..."

Ma Gu was furious, pointing at Chen Busi, relentlessly wanting to accuse again, but seeing that Hong Qing's brows were already furrowed, her heart trembled, and she didn't dare to say any more, so she hurriedly stopped , and sat back in their seats in a panic. As for Qi Dazuo and the others who were making a scene happily, they also didn’t dare to seriously sing against Hongqing’s drums and gongs. Although they were not very willing, they could only be honest. They all shut their mouths tightly.

"You are all court officials, not street shrews, and the comparison is not about loudness, but actual evidence, so it's so noisy, huh?"

Hong Qing looked around at all the participants, spoke in a cold voice, reprimanded everyone, but did not mention the focus of the previous controversy, as if deliberately avoiding Sun Dongfang being accused Hongli accused the incident on the spot.

"Brother Qing is right. Debates are useless. Everything must be based on evidence. I think so."

Hongli thought that he had caught Hongqing's death spot, so he naturally refused to let Hongqing change the topic to another place. Before Hongqing could continue, he couldn't wait to interject a sentence .

"I'm afraid it's not good for Brother Li to have this understanding, so let's not gossip, since Brother Li has accused Sun Dongfang so firmly, I think he has evidence in hand, so please show it."

Hearing Hongli's words, the evil spirit in Hongqing's heart suddenly became stronger, and she didn't bother to say anything more, so she proposed directly.

"Brother Qing has an order, and my younger brother must obey it. Here is an old account book, which was the original copy sent by Beihe Governor's Yamen the year before last. Compared with the current account book, the data contained in it are quite different. There is something strange about it. It's intriguing, if Brother Qing doesn't believe it, you can transfer the existing account books and compare them to find out the root cause."

Hongli also didn't want any extravagant incidents to happen. Hearing what Hongqing said, he no longer hesitated. With a shake of his hand, he took out an old account book from his wide sleeve, and opened it with one hand. He held it, but did not hand it over to Hong Qing, but stated generously.

"Well, other than that, if there is any other evidence, let's show it all together."

As soon as Hongli took out the account book, strange noises rang out in the lobby, including sighs of regret, gasps of surprise, and laughter from Chen Busi and others. , but Hong Qing was still unmoved, said noncommittal, and then urged without paying attention.

"Brother Qing, don't worry, I have another piece of indirect evidence. According to investigations, in May of last year, Sun Dongfang spent a huge sum of money in his hometown of Jeju to buy five hectares of fertile land and a manor. Calculated, it cost a total of five hectares of silver." 5000 taels of silver, based on his more than 12 years of official career, the salary he can get, the money for supporting Lian, and the respect of ice charcoal, etc., are only half of this amount. It can be seen from this that his official position must be dishonest!"

Hongli is a cautious person. Even if he had such a sharp weapon as an account book, he didn't dare to believe it all. He secretly sent people to check Sun Dongfang's family background and recent expenses. Originally, he planned to send people to the Beihe yamen to verify it, but it was because the governor of Beihe, Chen Qidong, and the governor of Henan, Rongzhu, were both Hongqing's staff, so he decided not to. Even so, in his opinion, the existing evidence It can already be said that the evidence is as solid as a mountain, and I am not afraid that Hong Qing may have the possibility of overturning the case. Now that I am going to say it, I am very confident.

"Brother Li is very good at deduction, interesting."

Rao Hongli said so much, Hongqing didn't show much expression, she just curled her lips and sneered at him with disdain.

"Brother Qing was joking, whether it is true or not, you can find out the root cause after checking."

Hongli was in a good mood at the moment, so he wouldn't be angry with Hongqing. In his opinion, Hongqing's sour words were just a dying struggle before bad luck, which was really hard to say Tang, because of this, Hongli laughed it off generously, but he didn't forget to press every step of the way, making it clear that Hongqing wanted to slap himself in the face in public.

"Well, it's time to check it out, but before that, Brother Wei must know where the old account books mentioned by Brother Li came from. Officials from the Ministry of Industry, won’t the Fang family be ridiculed by saying that such things will go out, Brother Li, what do you think, huh?”

Seeing Hongli's complacent smile, Hongqing twitched the corners of her mouth and laughed too, nodded, and slowly forced Hongli to say a word.

"Of course, even if Brother Qing doesn't ask, the younger brother has to explain it. To be honest, Brother Qing, this account book was presented by Li Shuangchun, the former official secretary of Dushui Qingli, and it is the original that was tampered with by Sun Dongfang. Qing If you don't believe me, brother, you can ask Li Langzhong to find out."

Hongli came prepared, he would not be offended by Hongqing's teasing, he smiled confidently, and solved the mystery calmly.

"Om..."

As soon as they heard that the account book was presented by Li Shuangchun, all the officials in the hall suddenly became confused again. It was nothing else, the reason why Li Shuangchun was replaced by Sun Dongfang at the beginning was precisely because he didn't listen to Hongqing's orders. Although he has become a sideline doctor now, after all, he has been in the Ministry of Industry for many years, and his roots are still there. Since this account book was donated by him, there is no doubt that it is true in all likelihood. Obviously, the current For Hong Qing, the situation was extremely unfavorable.

"Since brother Li has said so, I'm afraid it won't work if I don't ask to understand. Anyway, someone, go and invite Li Shuangchun, and also bring along the account books of Beihe governor's yamen over the years."

Everyone panicked, but Hong Qing was not at all confused, and even the teasing smile on the corner of her mouth never restrained herself. After calmly allowing everyone to discuss for a while, she waved her hand and spoke loudly. The order was issued coldly.

"twitter!"

After Hong Qing issued this order, Li Minxing, who led a group of guards from the royal palace to guard the hall, did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. After a while, he turned back from the entrance of the hall with a middle-aged civil servant with an elegant appearance and a government servant holding an account book.

"Li Shuangchun, Li Shuangchun, Li Shuangchun, the official secretary of the capital, met Qing Baylor!"

When he saw Hong Qing who was sitting high above him, the middle-aged civil servant with an elegant appearance didn't dare to show the slightest disrespect. .

"no."

Hong Qing raised her hand in vain, and cried out expressionlessly.

"Thank you, Belle Long."

Li Shuangchun is an old official, and the city is very deep. Although his mood is agitated, his expression is calm and calm. After thanking him, he didn't say much, just stood there , put on an appearance of obeying instructions.

"Well, Li Langzhong, but why did Ben Belle call you here?"

Hong Qing glanced at Li Shuangchun, and said something official in a drawn-out tone.

"I don't know the official, please ask Qing Baylor for Ming Xun."

With such a big commotion, how could Li Shuangchun not know the reason why he was called here, but he didn't intend to tell the truth, but shook his head pretending to be in a daze, and responded humbly said a word.

"Well, it's like this. Hongli mentioned that you had presented this account book, saying that it was the original gift from Beihe governor's yamen. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

Hong Qing nodded, and continued to ask questions calmly.

"Account book? This..."

Faced with this question, Li Shuangchun obviously hesitated for a while, and hesitated to say why.

"Don't be afraid, Mr. Li. If you have anything to say, just say it straight. Right and wrong have their own justice. This is the world of the Qing Dynasty, and it is not just that some people can cover the sky with one hand."

Seeing that Li Shuangchun seemed to be shrinking back, Balangpu couldn't hold his nerve, so he interjected a sentence from the sidelines, and assumed the posture of supporting Li Shuangchun.

"Master Ba is right. If Mr. Li has something to hide, let him tell you. Brother Qing will definitely uphold justice for you."

As soon as Balangpu finished speaking, Hongli also encouraged Li Shuangchun from the side, saying,

"Qing Bei Le Mingjian, the next official is not a doctor in the palm of the hand, and he doesn't care about the write-off, how can he have any account books in his hand, I'm afraid there is no misunderstanding."

Li Shuangchun looked at Balangpu blankly, then looked sideways at Hongli, and finally, he bowed his hands to Hongqing, and definitely gave a negative answer.

"Om..."

As soon as Li Shuangchun said this, there was an uproar in the hall, and all the officials were inexplicably surprised. No one thought that things would turn out like this. As for Hongli, his face changed wildly, and the original confident smile instantly His face froze, his hands trembled, and the account book in his hand slipped to the ground.

"Li Shuangchun, you are so brave. You handed over the account book ten days ago with your own hands. Now you dare to deny it on the spot. What are you trying to do? Come on, let me take this thief down!"

Amidst the chaotic discussions, Barangpu was the first to come back to his senses, and he was already cruel because of the serious situation, so he roared loudly without hesitation.

"Presumptuous! Barangpu, what do you want to do? Ben Belle is here, how can you let me do anything!"

Balangpu shouted fiercely, but it's a pity that most of the people in the hall are Hong Qing's personal guards, so no one paid attention to his orders, which actually aroused Hong Qing's fury. As soon as he shot the copywriting, he was already scolded mercilessly.

"Qing Bei Le Haihan, I was indignant for a moment, and I was rude. However, this villain has ulterior motives, but it is absolutely impossible..."

Being scolded by Hongqing like this, Barangpu had no chance to get angry again, but he refused to admit defeat, and insisted on explaining again.
