Chapter 119: Eighty million taels of silver that disappeared
"It's you! What are you doing!"
Li Jianli fell tragically: "Does the benefactor think I can have any value now!"
The man in gray hat had his face sinking into the darkness, without showing his true face at all, only his eyes were shining brightly.
"Tell me." Li Jianli smiled bitterly, not realizing that his reaction and judgment had become dull and blurred. If he had a happy mood, he would naturally be invincible: "I can do it, so I must try my best to do it!"
"Money, we must be more silver." The man in gray said hoarsely.
If it were normal, Li Jianli could make an accurate judgment based on this sentence. But now, his judgment has become dull and vague, and he never thought of anything else.
Li Jianli was tragic when he heard this: "Silver, how can the Ministry of Revenue transfer so much money to his benefactor! In fourteen years, 30 million taels of silver are already my limit."
"Please tell my benefactor, it's not that I, Li Jianli, don't want to help, I really can't afford it. Such a big book hole, if I hadn't been trying my best to cover it up in the Ministry of Revenue and digging up the cultivation materials for you to sell them, it would not have been able to cover it up at all."
The man in gray was naturally Wang Ce, and he was secretly surprised. In the past fourteen years, he actually paid 30 million taels of silver from the Ministry of Revenue, but he was almost never discovered. That was simply incredible. Li Jianli's methods were too powerful.
This made Wang Ce understand what Zhao Xingzhi said before his death meant.
The Northern Tang Dynasty was rich and the people were strong, and it earned about 50 million taels of silver a year. Of course, this did not count the cultivation materials. It seemed that 30 million taels of silver was not much, but in fact, it was definitely an extremely huge number.
Even if Li Jianli is digging for a long time, he can dig for sixteen years without being exposed, that is definitely a great skill.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Ce said hoarsely: "You know it's not enough. It's definitely not enough for raising soldiers."
Li Jianli suddenly broke out of temper: "Of course not enough, of course not enough. The money is never enough. I have never said that I don't want to know where the benefactor spent the money. I don't even want to know whether he came back to take revenge."
Li Jianli, an old man, covered his face helplessly sobbed: "Please tell me, I really can't do it. If His Majesty had not asked me to secretly embezzle silver and supplies, it would be difficult for me to get 30 million taels."
"Your Majesty has moved about 50 million taels of silver and supplies from sixteen years ago. But what can I do? Could you please return it to your Majesty?"
Could it be that this is why Li Jianli remained at the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue for ten years and remained unmoved, and the emperor had never let Nanya investigate and handle the case in the Ministry of Revenue for ten years. Wang Ce was thinking about it and was shocked!
In this way, the Ministry of Revenue was embezzled about 80 million taels of silver and materials in 16 years, which was simply terrifying. Such a huge sum of silver was even enough for the Northern Tang Dynasty to fight a ten-year war.
"Where did Your Majesty spend the money?" Wang Ce suddenly asked.
Li Jianli glanced at him strangely: "I have said before that part of it will be handed over to the Beiya, and 7 million taels were successively sent. In addition, some hidden spirit stone ore veins and other incomes have also exceeded my hands. I am afraid that there will be 17 million silver in a row."
It's indeed Beiya!
Wang Ce almost couldn't help but punch. If an emperor had the ambition to expand his territory, how could he ignore the role of the foreign spy group?
"I know nothing about the rest." Li Jianli smiled bitterly. He was a typical culprit, destined to take the blame for the emperor.
It doesn't matter if you take the blame for the emperor, it is very consistent with the ideal of pioneering and enterprising a scholar. However, if you add this account of the benefactor, it will be fatal, and it will definitely be implicated in the nine tribes.
Wang Ce said lightly: "You know my identity and the identity of the benefactor. If you have the benefactor, you will die, so what if you die."
Li Jianli muran: "What's the matter of death? Do you think I can escape death? Back then, the benefactor first saved my life, then secretly promoted me to the court, and later saved my family's lives. I owe a lot of benefactor."
"When the benefactor and you reappeared fourteen years ago, I knew that my life would be returned to the benefactor." Li Jianli suddenly choked up and burst into tears: "It would be fine to have my life, I don't want my whole family to be implicated."
This scene is so desolate that Wang Ce almost sighed. He couldn't speak out.
After thinking for a while, Wang Ce hugged his eyebrows and said slowly: "The Lord of Weddings is to destroy his face to avoid revealing his identity and not let the court notice it. Have you mentioned it to anyone, including your relatives over the years?"
Li Jianli said nothing. Just when Wang Ce was helpless, he suddenly said: "No one would believe that a person who should have died is still alive."
"If you can't believe me, kill me now."
Li Jianli is waiting to kill him!
Wang Ce narrowed his eyes and calculated that the time for the medicine was about to pass. Just as he was about to retreat quietly, Li Jianli suddenly opened his eyes, and a light suddenly turned: "You are not him!"
"You are not the one sent by the benefactor."
Li Jianli shouted: "Say, who are you!" Before he finished speaking, his heart suddenly showed up and all the effects of the medicine were dispelled.
Wang Ce was helpless and really miserable. He coughed and turned around to reveal his true face: "When Wang Ce in Xiananya, I don't know how Li Shangshu recognized it."
"Nanya, Wang Ce!" Li Jianli fell to his face without a bloody face, and even felt relieved: "You finally found out about me. Finally... I knew that there would be this day, and I knew."
"You used medicine to me before. No wonder, no wonder. I didn't even defend you, and I didn't defend you, and the omnipresent Nanya."
Li Jianli's eyes were dissipated: "Mr. Benevolence has changed. Now he is no longer a merciful person. I expected that when Your Majesty breaks with the royal family, the Master will send someone to send me a ride sooner or later. If you don't do it, then you must not be."
Wang Cemuran, such a bullshit reason really makes people wonder how to answer. As the Minister of Revenue, Li Jianli can still see through the effects of the medicine, which shows that it is indeed extraordinary.
Li Jianli showed a look of relief and suddenly felt refreshed: "Zhao Xingzhi that day, he actually didn't leave any words before he died. You were cheating on us!"
"Yes, Zhao Xingzhi didn't say anything before his death, nor did he leave any words." Wang Ce was silently surprised, and he was a keen minister of the Ministry of Revenue who learned from others.
"How did you doubt me?" Li Jianli was very curious.
"He said that the Ministry of Revenue had a hole in the account, and said sixteen years ago. That was not enough?" Wang Ce wondered, he underestimated his IQ too much. Don't think that he could just despise others' IQ: "For sixteen years, you have been a senior official of the Ministry of Revenue."
Such a simple truth? Li Jianli thought about it and smiled bitterly: "That's right, it's really that simple."
"I won't say it anymore. I'll leave first." Wang Ce waved his hand and turned around and was about to leave.
Li Jianli was stunned. What do you mean? You left after playing? I came and saw me visiting here? After all, it was a spy in the Nanya department, and he was a little responsible. Seeing that he was really about to leave, he hurriedly said, "Let's wait!"
Wang Ce turned around in shock. Li Jianli suddenly didn't know what to say, and felt that he was very mean for a moment: "Don't you want to know who is the benefactor?"
"I think about it." Wang Ce scratched his head: "You can say?"
"No!" Li Jianli shook his head.
"That's it. Why am I still staying for? I don't have a midnight snack." Wang Ce Suoran and Li Jianli were about to say it, but he still didn't dare to believe it.
Li Jianli found this ridiculous: "But you are from Nanya."
"Mr. Shangshu, you have to figure it out. I'm off work now, I haven't eaten dinner, and the girl has no prostitutes." Wang Ce explained helplessly: "If you really want to go to Nanya, you will surrender your own family tomorrow."
"But..." Li Jianli's thinking is really not as good as the Tianma Meteor Fist!
"I'm afraid of you." Wang Ce turned around. This Shangshu was a typical stubborn mind: "Then let me ask you, who is the so-called benefactor? Who is the man in the hat? And, what happened sixteen years ago."
