The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 402
"Prince, you must know that the emperor sent me to investigate the loss of the official bank. This time, I was really shocked."

Xue Juzheng himself is also an official, and it took him a while to figure out all these things. It has to be said that these famous officials have real materials, otherwise they would not have grasped them so quickly. Got some news.

"The crown prince's Luzhou prefecture was the first prefecture to lose official money in the Song Dynasty when the tax was transported to the capital, so the emperor paid special attention to it, and sent officials to take the lead in Luzhou to investigate."

What Xue Juzheng said was also very correct. This time was also the first time since the founding of the Song Dynasty that such a large lineup of imperial envoys was sent.

One is a political adviser, three censors and one is the head of the Ministry of Rites. It is impossible to say that such a lineup is unprecedented, but at least it is unprecedented.

"Master Xue is the pillar of the country, and he is deeply trusted by the emperor. This is also the emperor's grace to him."

"What the prince said is that it is all the grace of the emperor. By the way, the prince, when I checked the account books of Luzhou today, I found some loopholes."

Xue Juzheng hadn't been out since he came to the hotel, and he ordered his imperial guards to directly take over Luzhou Mansion.

After carefully checking some of the account books over the years, since the first year of Jianlong, these accounts seem to have no problems at all.

However, officials like Xue Juzheng are relatively shrewd, and after careful inspection, they still found problems.

"Master Xue, did you find out, what else can be seen from these accounts, these accounts are for people to see, since they are for people to see, how can people see anything?"

Zhao Xu didn't understand these things, and he had never managed such things in his previous life, so he felt a headache when he saw the accounts and the like.

"The crown prince doesn't know that there is no problem with these accounts, but you must know that since the Song Dynasty implemented the general judgment system, every state capital has two accounts, one is in charge of the magistrate, and the other is in charge of the general judge. "

Xue Juzheng started talking about the system of general judgment, which Zhao Xu thought of at the beginning.

He also followed the model of those secretaries and mayors in later generations, but the previous secretaries became the second in command in Song Dynasty.

The general judges are all directly appointed by the emperor, and they are all the emperor's confidantes, otherwise the emperor would not let a person be the general judge.

"There are actually two books of accounts in one state capital. Whose idea is this? Why don't I know?"

Zhao Xu wondered that when he discussed with his father, he didn't say that the general judge had such a position, did he?
"Prince, all these decisions were made after discussions between the emperor and several adults. Fortunately, there is such a system, and the lower officials were able to find out such loopholes."

"Prince, please come and take a look. It is recorded here that the taxpayer for this year is 2309 million taels, but this account records as high as 500 million taels. What's more, here are the expenses in different places. In short, they are all different."

"Generally speaking, the accounts recorded by the magistrate are much less, but this one is always more than this one. Where did the extra or less go? .”

Zhao Xu understood that no matter who was right, it could explain one problem, and that was that there was a problem.

"Prince, that's not enough. In the afternoon, the lower official took someone to check that the data in the warehouse was consistent with the prefect's record, but the lower official didn't understand. Why did the secret account of the general judge have to be recorded like this?"

Xue Juzheng not only checked the account books, but also went to the warehouse and checked it. Except for the robbed official bank, the other amounts were correct.

If they are all right, it means that something is wrong, there must be some small flaws, if there is no mistake, it only means that they have done too much.

Zhao Xu understands that everything is always reversed. This is too perfect, and there is a problem with being too perfect.

Zhao Xu already knew that Xue Juzheng still believed in the account books of the general judge. After all, it was a secret, and it was recorded secretly by the general judge, so that the court could check what happened one day.

"Your Excellency thinks that all the tax money has gone there, and the previous ones should not be pursued, but as long as it is something that happened since my Song Dynasty and Jianyuan period, it must be thoroughly investigated."

We don't care about the previous affairs, but as long as it is about Da Song's affairs, he will be sorry no matter who you are.

"Yes, I understand, but the current matter is that I don't know how to start. The general judge of Luzhou died of illness, but the magistrate is missing."

Xue Juzheng has no one to investigate the case now, the two principals in Luzhou are not here now, how do you ask him to investigate.

"I still know this. Yu Shukai and his son Ben Suyiwei have been imprisoned. I asked Su Yiwei to directly cooperate with you in investigating the case. What do you think?"

Of course Xue Juzheng was willing, this Su Yiwei was pervasive, and now the ministers all knew the horror of this Su Yiwei, and now Zhao Xu asked them to help investigate the case, of course he was [-] percent willing.

"Well, I don't need to worry about this matter. I'm going back, and you don't have to send it. I'm going back."

Zhao Xu went out before Xue Juzheng had time to react, and Xue Juzheng behind him could only shake his head helplessly.

Zhao Xu wandered around the street alone. No one was walking on the street at this point, but there were still some shops doing business.

After talking so much, my mouth was thirsty, and I walked directly into a small shop in front, and saw that there were quite a lot of people inside, and there was no place to sit.

I had no choice but to go to the private room on the second floor. It was really a waste to sit in the private room just to drink a sip of tea.

While Zhao Xu was enjoying the fragrance of tea quietly, there was a sound of arguing next door. Although it was very small, Zhao Xu could still hear it.

"Don't you think it's too much?"

"You, say that we are too much, it is your master who wants us to cooperate with you, there is no problem."

Damn, the business of these little devils can never be wrong, this is the voice of the little devil, how could this kind of voice that he hates the most appear here.

You must know that in the previous life, he personally took the lives of many little devils, so he naturally knew their speaking habits.

But now it is the Song Dynasty, how can there be little devils, and there is no record of people in Fusang having contacts with the Song Dynasty in the Song Dynasty?

Why did they appear at this time, I was thinking about stepping down Fusang in the future, but I didn't expect to hear the voice of the little devil here tonight.

He knew that he wanted to wipe out all Xu Fu's descendants for Qin Shihuang, and he still didn't forget this matter.

Now that you have encountered them, then listen carefully to what they want to do. If you bump into me, you will be unlucky.
