Great Ye Empress

Chapter 259
"But... who will protect Liu Lang when I leave?" Ye Chen was worried.

"This is in the capital of Bian, and now I'm an official who mainly investigates corruption cases, but I'm very safe! Don't worry!" Xie Yunchu said, "The stakes are very important, and I don't worry about leaving it to others."

Yechen hesitated for a moment, then responded, "My subordinates will set off immediately!"

When Xie Yunwang helped to record the confession, when he came to look for Xie Yunchu, he happened to see Xie Yunchu sitting under the lamp, as if he had no bones... Jade-pipe-like fingers were flying over the abacus, turning over the account book with one hand, and the speed of planning was extremely fast.

Xie Yunwang put the confession aside and said, "You should have learned the skill of planning with your second aunt!"

Xie Yunchu responded and turned the pages of the ledger: "Have you finished recording the confession?"

"Well, the recording is over." Xie Yunwang was afraid of disturbing Xie Yunchu's reckoning, so he made a long story short, "This matter... Do you want to talk to the uncle?"

"Uncle, it's better not to get involved." Xie Yunchu's calculations crackled, "You are at home these few days, call this..."

"My name is Li Baotian!" Xie Yunwang said hurriedly.

"Take a good look at this witness named Li Baotian." Xie Yunchu said.

"Aren't you going to take people to the Censor's Desk?" Xie Yunwang was a little surprised.

"No hurry..." Xie Yunchu raised his head and glanced at Xie Yunwang, wiped the sweat from his palm with the wet handkerchief that Yuanbao had put aside, and took a cup of tea on the side, "From the Ministry of Household, who was imprisoned, involved in the incident. It is not difficult to see that the officials suddenly turned the confession in a unified caliber... There are people from the first prince or the third prince in the censor's desk. At this time, Xue Zhi's account book has not been checked clearly, and even the account book and witnesses have been sent to the censor's desk. , I am afraid that it will cause extra troubles and cause more trouble to the investigation. It is better to wait until the investigation is clear and get the evidence, and the case is settled and sent directly to Your Majesty."

Because Xie Yunchu understood that all the people in Great Ye sitting on the throne of the peak of power, as long as it did not hurt his face as an emperor, he would do anything to cover up his son.

Just like this time, the emperor is not ignorant of the disaster relief and corruption case...

But he chose to condone.

If not this time Xie Yunchu exposed the disaster relief and corruption case when the emperor summoned the top ten jinshi, all officials and new jinshi, and pointed out that the hands and eyes of these people covered the emperor's eyes, and the emperor was shocked by these Corrupt officials provoked his authority, how could the emperor be so annoyed... let the censors investigate strictly.

And this time, the emperor may have realized that his two sons are deeply involved in the disaster relief and corruption case, and he has already suggested to the imperial censor that he should push the case to the deceased minister of household Xue Zhi.

Xie Yunchu did not dare to expect the emperor to be able to distinguish between public and private, and to call the shots for the people who lost their lives in the disaster area.

That being the case, it can only force the emperor to call the shots for the people.

"Luo Lang, are you trying to investigate this case yourself?" Xie Yunwang was a little worried, "Otherwise, I'll help you! Besides recording statements and looking at witnesses, what else can I do for you?"

Xie Yunchu listened to Xie Yunwang's words, but he was not polite, and directly pushed the account book and abacus to Xie Yunwang: "Then you have to work out the next account, just to see if you can match the amount of Xue's house. "

Xie Yunwang nodded: "Don't worry, Liu Lang, I will definitely figure it out!"

"Then leave it to you! Hard work..." Xie Yunchu hadn't slept well for a few days, got up and sighed, and planned to take a nap after taking a bath.

Early the next morning.

Xie Yunchu got up early in the morning and put on his official uniform, and asked Yuanbao during dinner: "Yunwang settled the accounts yesterday, what time did it count?"

Yuanbao, who was standing behind Xie Yunchu, took a chopstick of head dish for her: "It seems to be counting!"

Xie Yunchu was startled, looked up at Yuanbao and said, "Is it still counted?"

Yuanbao nodded: "The steward persuaded him several times, but Young Master Yunwang said... Liulang is in a hurry to use it, so he has to figure it out as soon as possible."

Xie Yunchu put down his chopsticks and said with Yuanbao, "Bring the breakfast to the front hall, I will use it with Yunwang."

"Yes!" Yuanbao responded.

When Xie Yun first arrived in the front yard, he saw that the candles placed in front of Xie Yunwang's desk had burned out layers of tears.

Xie Yunwang pointed at the ledger with one hand and the abacus with the other.

"Why did you spend the night here?" Xie Yunchu stepped into the main hall with his official uniform.

"Rokuro, you're here, I'll finish it right away!" Xie Yunwang's eyes were congested and red after staying up all night.

He was born white, and now the blackness is even more obvious.

"This ledger is not in a hurry at this moment." Xie Yunchu picked up Xie Yunwang's paper and glanced at it, "wash your face, eat breakfast and go to rest quickly."

Xie Yunchu did not expect that Xie Yunwang was so meticulous.

According to Xie Yunchu's method of calculating the sum at first, Xie Yunwang first calculated how much Xue Zhi should be greedy for ink...

They are divided into different categories, those who gave Xue Zhi to the First Prince's Mansion, those who gave gifts to Xue Zhi and bribes, and those who accepted bribes, all counted.

Xie Yunwang took the towel handed by the servant and wiped his face: "This Xue Zhi is also interesting, being so greedy, he even used the money obtained from corruption and bribes to build a shantang. Every year, Xue Zhi has a lot of money in the shantang. expenditure."

Xie Yunchu looked at the number that Xie Yunwang had written down in his hand, and replied, "In this world, there is no absolute good or absolute evil. Whoever said that a kind person would not have malice in their hearts, and a person who was full of evil would not have a heart of evil. A little conscience."

Perhaps, for Xue Zhi, this shantang is not only a little bit of conscience he retains, but also a kind of self-paralysis, an excuse and reason for his greed...

With this shantang, there are people in the shantang who are similar to Li Baotian yesterday, calling him a good official and a person with a good heart, so that he can continue to be greedy with peace of mind, and blame his own greed... to support the court does not allow built sanctuary.

For things like building a shantang, Xue Zhi, the Minister of the Household, works hard, spends some time talking to the emperor, with the emperor's love for face and desire to be a prosperous emperor, with Xue Zhi's shrewdness... As long as you have a good sense of proportion, in fact It's easy to do.

But he chose to give taels of silver to Shantang after every time he was greedy, but in disguise he thought...that would alleviate his sins.

If Xie Yunchu speculates with the heart of a villain again, he will feel that Xue Zhijian is such a charitable hall, maybe it is also for the sake of corruption in the future, leaving himself a room for a light sentence.

If Xue Zhi was still alive, this shantang would definitely be the basis for a light sentence.

Yuanbao has already set up the breakfast, please invite Xie Yunchu and Xie Yunwang to eat.

The two were sitting at the dining table eating porridge, when Xie Yunwang said, "If you are in a hurry, I can calculate it all at noon today and send it to the Censor Tai Yamen."
