Chapter 105(2/2)
"Even if you don't have a place, you will definitely find it." Mu Tinglan said. In his previous life, he was also the secrets found by Lord Liu.
Everyone likes to listen to nice words, and Lord Liu is the same. After laughing, he quickly went to the agency.
Soon, Gu Heng found the mechanism. When the mechanism was turned on, the location of the bookshelf changed by itself. The bookshelf in the second and third rows leaned forward until they moved closer. As the Su family moved, a dark pavilion was also opened on the wall. The three of them walked over quickly. The account book was indeed placed inside the dark pavilion.
Lord Liu excitedly picked up the account book and looked at it, but the information recorded on the account book surprised Lord Liu. He got the record of Sun Pingzheng's bribery, while Lord Gu got the relevant evidence of the private salt case.
In the dark Pavilion, in addition to these books, there is also a token. The token is painted black, with the opposite word "Ling" and the front is a cross star pattern.
What is this?
"Why are there no account book about weapons sales?" Lord Liu took out each account book and looked at it, but there were no records about the weapons casting workshop.
"Sir, at least we found the account book for them selling private salt." Gu Heng pondered for a while and said, "There is also this token, and this token is also a clue." Gu Heng took the token from Mu Tinglan and looked at it. He really had never seen this token before. "Does he know this token?"
Lord Liu was still a little dissatisfied. He looked at the token and shook his head, "I haven't seen it before."
"Then, maybe it's a force we don't know." Gu Heng said lightly.
When Lord Liu, who was worried, heard this, he immediately glared at him, "What new force, is it time to cause trouble now?"
I have been so annoyed by these cases that I am about to die, so don’t make things difficult, okay?
Mu Tinglan looked at Lord Liu, and Lord Liu was a little irritable. But this was originally a new force.
"Nannan is back?" General Mu and Mu Lingheng were sitting in the hall, and there was also Lord Shen, the Minister of Revenue.
Seeing Mu Tinglan coming back, General Mu quickly waved to Mu Tinglan and shouted him over.
"Grandfather, brother." Mu Tinglan said with a smile, and then looked at Lord Shen, "Hello Lord Shen."
"Princess." Lord Shen also bowed to Mu Tinglan.
"Mr. Shen came here to ask about the situation in the northwest." General Mu said, but in fact, Mr. Shen came here to thank the General's Mansion. If it weren't for the 500,000 taels donated by the General's Mansion, if it weren't for the grain, his pressure could be imagined. After all, the grain has not been collected this year, and the court really couldn't produce too much food.
"So that's it." Mu Tinglan nodded, "Actually, our general's mansion also grows corn and potatoes in other places. The emperor also knows about this, but the corn and potatoes over there are not yet mature."
There were a lot of seeds brought back by Yan Yonghong's caravan.
"Xiaguan knows." Lord Shen said, "This time I really asked Young Master Mu and the Princess to be blessed. Otherwise, Xiaguan really didn't know what to send to the northwest and Jiangnan." The General's Mansion solved his urgent needs.
"Mr. Shen is so serious. In the country, every man is responsible. The general's mansion is just doing what he should do." Mu Tinglan said, "Grandfather, brother, do you think so?"
"Haha, that's right." General Mu said, "Mr. Shen doesn't have to be so polite. It's our responsibility to solve the problem of the emperor. If it weren't for the fact that dreams were too weird and incredible, I might have wanted to tell the emperor that this kind of thing was, even if the emperor believed it, I'm afraid that the civil and military officials in the court would not believe much."
Lord Shen nodded in understanding after hearing this, "Who said no? When Young Master Mu and Princess went to the Imperial Study room to talk about this, didn't we believe it either?" It was still General Mu who had the courage to store grain just because of a dream, dared to try to grow corn and potatoes. If it were them, they would probably not have such courage.
Oh, and the Xiaoyao King of Wuzhen Kingdom is the same. Princess Anping seemed to say that those seeds were just because Xiaoyao King heard them, so he went to steal them directly, um, and took Yan Yonghong's seeds.
King Xiaoyao really loves Princess Anping very much.
After saying some more words, Lord Shen got up and said goodbye.
"Did Nannan go to the Lan Mansion?" Mu Lingheng asked.
"Well, something happened over there." Mu Tinglan walked to Mu Lingheng and sat down, "and by the way, I went to Chengtian Mansion, and then went to Sun Mansion."
General Mu nodded and said, "Is the one in Lan Mansion related to Wei Shujing?"
Mu Tinglan looked at General Mu in surprise, "Did your grandfather know too?" The spread was too fast, right?
General Mu smiled and shook his head, "Grandfather heard from the emperor."
So that's it. However, "Grandfather, the emperor should have noticed the abnormality of Wei Shujing's affairs, right? Otherwise, he would not have left a bloodline for the Wei family, but the emperor could have ordered a thorough investigation, right?" Why did the heads of the Wei family finally chopped down, but Wei Mingjie was left behind, and someone was sent to protect Wei Mingjie.
"Wei Shujing's death was not just because of this." General Mu said, "It is already the emperor's kindness to leave a bloodline for the Wei family."
Upon hearing this, Mu Lingheng and Mu Tinglan couldn't help but look at each other, both of whom saw doubts from each other's eyes.
"Why?" Could it be that Wei Shujing had committed other things that they didn't know?
General Mu did not want to explain more, but said, "Then the young master of the Wei family is okay, right?"
Mu Tinglan paused, then shook his head, "Nothing is serious."
"That's good." General Mu nodded and said, "Then what will happen if you go to Sun's Mansion?"
"I have found some books, but there is no account book about private weapons. Also, a token was found in Sun Pingzheng's granddaughter." As he said that, Mu Tinglan took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it to General Mu. "Is this a dive from the token? Can my grandfather recognize this token?"
General Mu looked carefully, but shook his head, "I have never seen such a token. Is this found in Sun Pingzheng's family? Could it be that Sun Pingzheng himself has other forces?"
"Grandfather, it may be that there is actually someone behind Sun Pingzheng." Mu Lingheng also looked at the drawing. Mu Lingheng also had no clues about the patterns on it. "Sun Pingzheng is the second prince, but it involves the third prince. The two princes seem to be a little busy during this period."
"It's better to be busy." Mu Tinglan said, "But, grandfather, Wang Tianyong, the deputy general who went to Licheng with his brother, do grandfather still remember?"
Upon hearing this, General Mu and Mu Lingheng were both stunned. A trace of cold light and pain flashed in Mu Lingheng's eyes, and then he looked at Mu Tinglan with his eyes, "Nannan, how could he mention this person?"
"Sun Pingzheng's confession, Wang Tianyong did not go to rescue his brother because he was not convinced by Sun Pingzheng's instructions." Mu Tinglan said in a deep voice, "And Sun Pingzheng meant that he wanted his brother to be disabled."
General Mu and Mu Lingheng were both shocked.
There was Sun Pingzheng also there when the incident happened?
"Nannan, is it true that you said?" General Mu's voice was cold, but she knew that he was already very angry now.
"If Sun Pingzheng's people didn't lie," Mu Tinglan said to General Mu, "So grandfather, can Wang Tianyong still be found now?"
General Mu endured it and then endured his anger, "I had sent someone to solve him before." No matter what the reason was that Wang Tianyong did not go there as soon as possible, but after he knew that Mu Lingheng could no longer stand up, he carried a knife and wanted to kill Wang Tianyong.
It was Liu Qi who stopped him, and then used such a method to make Wang Tianyong exiled his family. Even so, he had no intention of letting Wang Tianyong go, so he asked someone to solve Wang Tianyong halfway.
Upon hearing this, Mu Tinglan couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but she wasn't surprised.
"In this way, I can only find another way." Mu Tinglan sighed and said.
The atmosphere in the hall was suddenly a little dull, and Mu Lingheng finally spoke.
"There is no hurry to do this. You have been waiting for so many years." He said, "It just seemed that the clues pointed to before were the third prince."
General Mu also sighed, "It should be another force, haha, what is the virtue of the general's mansion? Has it actually become the target of so many people?"
"Grandfather, the general's mansion is powerful, and they cannot win over the general's mansion. For them, the general's mansion naturally becomes a threat and must be eliminated." Mu Tinglan said, "But we didn't know before, so we could only let people plot there, but now it's different." The general's mansion is not the general's mansion in the previous life, and she will not watch the general's mansion suffer such a disaster again.
"It's different." General Mu said, his eyes were sharp and a terrifying light burst out. "If you dare to plot against the general's mansion, I will let them suffer the consequences."
….
The people in Ancheng were in panic these days because Lord Liu found some account books from Sun Pingzheng's mansion. The people recorded in the account books were invited to Chengtian Mansion to cooperate with the investigation, especially the relevant personnel in the private salt account books, who were directly trapped in the Chengtian Mansion prison. For a moment, the court was very nervous. Although the second prince and the third prince had taken a lot of remedial measures, they still lost a lot of people this time.
Especially the Taifu Mansion, after all, Sun Pingzheng was originally the second prince, and part of the income from the private salt ended up flowing into the Taifu Mansion. At the beginning, the second prince directly asked the Taifu Mansion to destroy the evidence, but the second master of the Taifu Mansion was lucky enough to not clean up the things, and was finally caught. Therefore, the second master of the Taifu Mansion was also imprisoned in the Chengtian Mansion prison.
As for the Minister of Justice, Lord Tong, he was smart enough. After Sun Pingzheng was arrested, he quickly cleaned up the relevant physical evidence. Although there were still some income from unknown origin, who in the capital did not have such an income from unknown origin? So even if Lord Liu wanted to seize this article to deal with Lord Tong, it would be a bit far-fetched.
However, Lord Liu was not willing to accept it. The second prince's people were the most popular in Wei Shujing's affairs. After all, they had to pay a price, right? So Lord Liu forced himself to check the income and then circulated Mr. Tong's private property, including two or three casinos. Mr. Tong and the second prince, Gu Ran hated Mr. Liu for hating him, but he had no choice but to swallow this loss into his stomach.
The third prince suffered a lot of losses. Not only did he lose a few capable generals, he also lost a lot of money. The most important thing is that the secret battle with the second prince was officially put on the surface.
There are many people involved in the case of official silver and private salt, including the Qi family. Qi Bohou's younger brother is also a salt merchant in Jiangnan. Qi Heng's name is listed on the account book of the private salt case. At that time, Qi Heng happened to come back to Ancheng, so he was directly arrested by Lord Liu and went to Chengtian Prefecture Prison.
Although Qi Bohou was not involved, part of the profits of private salt were used in Qi Bohou's mansion, so it was somewhat involved and not much, but it was quite troublesome. The most important thing was Qi Heng. After all, he was his younger brother, so Qi Bohou would definitely not want to see his younger brother get into trouble like this, and the same was true for the old lady of Qi Bohou's mansion.
After Qi Heng was arrested, Bohou of Qi began to walk around, but who would dare to help with the operation at this stall? Isn’t this asking himself to push it into the fire pit? So for a moment, the Qi family really couldn’t find anyone. Bohou of the Zheng family also visited, but Lord Zheng asked Bohou of Qi to go to the general’s mansion because the Zheng family had no choice.
This private salt case has greatly damaged the vitality of the Third Prince's Sect. How could Lord Zheng still have the mood to help the family?
Later, the Qi Bohou also went to the General's Mansion, but the General's Mansion had already ordered that the Zheng family and the Qi family were not allowed to enter the General's Mansion. The Qi Bohou waited at the door for a long time but did not see General Mu. Mu Zishu came out to meet him, but what could Mu Zishu do? This made Qi Bohou so angry that he naturally scolded Mu Yiyi after he returned, and then asked Mu Yiyi to go to the General's Mansion quickly and asked General Mu to help. In order to make General Mu weak, the Qi Bohou also asked Qi Yuan and Qi Xiner to follow him.
Finally, after the servants' notification, Mrs. Qi and her son successfully entered the general's mansion and met General Mu.
However, General Mu would not help to catch people.
Selling private salt is a serious crime, and the Qi family and the General's Mansion do not mean that the relationship is so good that the general can do his best to help, so General Mu did not agree.
Mrs. Qi did not bring back the desired result, and Mrs. Qi was even more angry. Mrs. Qi was also very angry. Unexpectedly, the General's Mansion was so cold-blooded and ruthless that she refused to save her. The Qi family and the General's Mansion were in-laws, right? General Mu actually refused directly. What kind of in-laws are this?
But General Mu just wanted to say that he did not regard the Qi family as his in-laws. Besides, it was also your Qi family who did it himself. Who can blame? Your Qi family did not regard their General's Mansion as his in-laws, so they could only regard Mu Zishu and the others as their in-laws. But think about the Qi family's attitude towards Mu Lingheng and Mu Tinglan before? Why don't they think about the Qi family and the Mu family being in-laws?
So it's not his fault that he didn't take action. Moreover, he couldn't take action.
"This private salt case suddenly made many real shortcomings in the court."
Yueke came to the second floor room, and Gu Hengzheng and Xu Rong were having and drinking.
After working so long, Gu Heng had such free time to come out and gather with these friends today.
"Does our opportunity count as coming?" Zhao Jingzhi said, "not only is there too many people in Ancheng, but also in the local area. I want to let it go and have a look."
"Even so, it's probably still a chance for the children of the aristocratic families." Jiang Huiran said, "Besides, the second prince and the third prince have lost so many people. After all, I can find a way to make up for it."
Jiang Huiran said in a low voice, but no one came out to refute his words. After all, what he said was the truth. Although they were all small officials and there were basically no matter what they did in the court, they could understand that the second and third princes suffered heavy losses this time. In front of the emperor, if these two men had not done anything, they would probably have been neglected by the emperor for a long time.
Speaking of which, if you calculate this carefully, the fifth prince will get the greatest benefit. There are so many people from the fifth prince's sect who are involved, but it doesn't matter much. The ones who are involved are not those important people. The fifth prince didn't even do anything. He is still in Western Chu now, but he has become the biggest winner.
As for the Sixth Prince, well, the Sixth Prince can participate in the government affairs now, but it is really not very conspicuous.
"No matter what, it's a chance." Xu Rong fanned and said, "Brother Zixun said, right?"
Gu Heng responded lightly. This was indeed an opportunity for them. "Brother Xu, you can try it." It is okay to fight for it, "But the situation is not clear at the moment, so you should be careful."
Everyone present is not stupid. After thinking about it for a moment, you will naturally know what Gu Heng said to be careful about.
The battle between the second prince and the third prince is half-bright, but this is not the final result. If you stand alone, they will die by the way? But if you don’t choose, it will still be a bit troublesome, at least the officialdom will be very unhappy.
But wealth and honor are in danger, so I will try it all, right?
