Chapter 116: Ledger Calendar

Of course, it was all instructed by the Prime Minister. Anyway, Chen Ning couldn't care about so much at the moment of life and death.

Li Shanchang had nowhere to refute, so he could only say angrily that Chen Ning was slandering people.

However, the origin of this account is so tortuous that no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem to be forged.

Chen Feng stood up, walked around Li Shanchang.

Li Shanchang's beard was already very long at this time. Chen Feng suddenly felt childlike and even reached out to grab Li Shanchang's beard.

"What is the prince doing?" Li Shanchang quickly dodged and said at the same time that although his title was not as high as that of the prince, he was the prime minister of the dynasty after all. He was pulled by Chen Feng, who was less than half his age. How could this make it happen?

He stepped back, his body staggered a little, and his heart became even more angry. In front of the emperor, such actions were simply too bold.

"Ba." At this moment, something suddenly fell out from Li Shanchang's chest.

Li Shanchang looked down and his face turned pale like paper.

The account book, the account book that was secretly replaced from Feng Cheng's hand, had just fallen out of his chest.

Chen Feng's location is very good. Zhu Yuanzhang could clearly see that Li Shanchang flashed and then the account book fell out of his chest.

Chen Feng bent down, picked up the account book from the ground, and said, "Prime Minister, what kind of treasure is this? He has been kept in your chest all day long. Are you afraid of losing it? Then you have to put it in your place."

After saying that, he stretched his hand forward, as if he wanted to return it to Li Shanchang.

Li Shanchang trembled his hand and stretched out, wanting to take the account book over.

My finger just touched the account book and disappeared before I took it over.

Chen Feng had turned around and presented the account book to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Report to the Emperor, the account book of the Prime Minister is obviously of great importance. Please check it out first."

Li Shanchang sat on the ground, blankly, as if he had heard nothing afterwards.

Zhu Yuanzhang took it and opened it and saw that the expression on his face was very abnormal.

What is the account?

The words written in black are the funds raised by the officials received by Jiangnan Trading Company and the interest they allocated. These are normal. There are also the words written in shallow white, which are written in the contents of the account book handed over by Li Shanchang.

"Your Majesty, it's this account book. Originally, there was no white handwriting on the account book. It was soaked in vegetable juice and it came out. The villain and the Prime Minister discovered this secret and thought it was a true matter of corruption and bribery by officials. Therefore, the Prime Minister was killed by the villain and went to mobilize the army and arrested the merchants as soon as possible to prevent the news from leaking." Chen Ning said.

Just now, the Prime Minister made a quibble and pushed the blame to Chen Ning. Chen Ning didn't know how to excuse him. Unexpectedly, Prince Chen helped him a lot and found the account book hidden on the Prime Minister. Otherwise, he would have never said anything.

Li Shanchang must be very regretful, but he can only feel at ease if he keeps this account book so secret. Besides, he still wants to present it to the emperor at critical moments, indicating that the account is completely reliable.

Unexpectedly, now, at this time, it appears before the emperor, and the meaning is completely different.

Chen Feng had no perspective. He knew that Li Shanchang had brought the account book with him because he had his spy in Li Shanchang's mansion. If Li Shanchang didn't bring him with him, Chen Feng had to ask Zhu Yuanzhang to search Li Shanchang's Prime Minister's mansion and then find out again.

Li Shanchang might escape by privately dispatching troops, but this account book is the key to Li Shanchang's death.

"Li Shanchang, how did you get this account book?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked. He asked while looking through the account book. Zhu Yuanzhang was also very curious. There was also a smell of vegetables on this account book. You can get the words by watering it with vegetable soup? It seems that it is a bit too magical, right?

"Your Majesty, this account book was actually brought by the old minister from the Jinyiwei." It was already at this time, and Li Shanchang could only explain that now, no matter what, there will be no good results in this matter. Since that is the case, I might as well bring the Jinyiwei!

Jinyiwei? Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and said, "Yang Xian, what's going on? Are your people so confused about their affairs?"

Yang Xian was also shocked. Could it be that Cheng was dissatisfied with his behavior and wanted to drag him down?

"I report to the emperor, I don't know. I only sent a hundred households Feng Cheng to carry out a mission," said Yang Xian.

The Jinyiwei also went to Pingjiang and stole the accounts. This matter was not very glorious after all, so Yang Xian did not say it clearly.

"Call Feng Cheng up, I want to ask questions myself." Zhu Yuanzhang said. Although Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Feng Cheng was going to do something, now the prime minister made the biggest mistake, and Zhu Yuanzhang must figure it out.

Feng Cheng came soon. As a family of Jinyiwei, it was very lucky that Feng Cheng could meet the emperor, but this scene was not very suitable.

"Feng Cheng, have you ever met the Prime Minister on the way to respond to the sky?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked Feng Cheng.

Feng Cheng shook his head: "Your Majesty, how could Feng Cheng violate discipline during his mission? At that time, even if the emperor was there, Feng Cheng could not come forward to recognize him."

"Feng Cheng, you are lying!" Li Shanchang said: "At that time, you were wearing your Jinyiwei's clothes. At that time, the other Jinyiwei also saw it and called your 100 people. I wanted to confront them! At that time, you and I chatted with you in the woods for a while, took the account book, and then took you to drink..."

Everyone's eyes were looking at Feng Cheng, a low-ranking Baihu, now the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, was stared at him and asked. If it were ordinary people, they would probably be so scared that they would pee their pants.

"Feng Cheng, if you have a lie, it is the crime of deceiving the king. Tell the truth." Yang Xian said to Feng Cheng on the side.

"Yes." Feng Cheng said: "The villain dare not lie. Commander, this time we go out to perform secret tasks. Will we wear our Jinyiwei uniforms and show off everywhere? When the villain left, they wear casual clothes. Moreover, when the villain performs tasks, especially when the secret tasks, how dare they delay the middle? Moreover, when the villain drinks with the Prime Minister, when, a mere hundred households can climb up to the Prime Minister and drink with the Prime Minister? The villain's subordinates can testify to the villain. During the process of the mission, the villain has never seen the Prime Minister at all."

Li Shanchang's mind was buzzing. What's going on? When he saw Feng Cheng, he felt something was wrong. Now, Feng Cheng said this, Li Shanchang woke up like a dream. Indeed, the Jinyiwei was carrying out special tasks, especially when he went to Pingjiang to perform the task of stealing accounts. How could he wear the Jinyiwei's outfit in a swagger?

With this point, the emperor can conclude that what he said just now was fake.

But, is what I said fake? How is that possible? I clearly saw Feng Cheng and those Jinyiwei!

Unless, Feng Cheng you saw and Feng Cheng in front of you are not the same person!

At this time, Li Shanchang was completely confused. It seemed that he had never been as embarrassed as he is now in his life. After all, he was old and had a little bad mind. If he was left out of the matter, he would immediately see that this was a conspiracy! The trap was so obvious.

"Li Shanchang, how do you explain?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Your Majesty, old minister, old minister doesn't know." Li Shanchang said. At this time, his former self-confidence was gone, and what was replaced by old age and ignorance.

"Yang Xian, what do you think?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked Yang Xian.

Yang Xian hesitated, and the emperor actually asked him what he thought. Although the Jinyiwei had this responsibility, now, if he wanted to say it, it would be asking his position. No matter what he said, this matter was wrong.

"Your Majesty, this account was obtained by the Prime Minister, and that's true. The Prime Minister has just admitted it. And I'm afraid only the Prime Minister knows where this account comes from." Yang Xian replied.

Yang Xian said this naturally put aside his relationship. In short, it was definitely not a mistake made by his Jinyiwei. The Prime Minister wanted to put the shit basin on the Jinyiwei's head, which would not work.

"Li Shanchang, how did this account come from? Don't you tell the truth? Do you know the crime of deceiving the monarch?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

These words made Li Shanchang fight a cold war. Now, the spearhead has been pointed at him. If he cannot give a reasonable explanation, the emperor will punish him.

Li Shanchang didn't know what to say, but he didn't say anything. He couldn't say it. He made up this account book by himself, right?

Zhu Yuanzhang flipped through pages and finally turned to the last page.

Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang was not interested in the content in the middle, and they were all the same. However, after seeing the last page, his face was as normal, but he was shocked.

Because what is written on this page is the matter of the prince!

In the 13th year of Zhizheng, in the Xujia Inn in Chuzhou, Zhang Peng met a beautiful woman by chance. At the moment, the beautiful woman left. The beautiful woman called Ji Nai Xiufen. Later, in the third year of Hongwu, he realized that this man was a golden phoenix in the four cities. Zhang Peng was shocked and killed himself three days later.

Xiufen, Xiufen! Zhu Yuanzhang naturally remembers that Xiufen was the boudoir of Concubine Li Shu.

This time, it was actually the time when the prince was born. Could it be that his prince was not his own son? Concubine Li was domineering in the palace, and then he made a trick to make other imperial concubines unable to give birth to children, just to protect the child she had born. Now, this child may not be his own! Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang was completely angry: "Li Shanchang, where did this account book come from?"
