Chapter 373 Ledger
Chapter 370 Four

The account book about Wei Zhichao was sent to Zhao Xing three days later.

Zhao Ran and Jiang Yuanzhan were also there.

There are two big boxes, and there are dozens of booklets inside.

Zhao Xing casually flipped through two volumes, filling them densely.

Even Jiang Wan felt a headache looking at it.

I think that when she first entered the Shu Palace, she was fine for the first three days, but after those three days, she had to take care of the internal affairs of the Palace.

The ledger also needs to be looked at from the beginning.

But fortunately, the Shu Palace itself has not been opened for a long time, and Yuanfu's previous account books are well organized. Besides, Zhao Xing is not busy those days, so he can accompany her to read those account books at home almost every day.

In just a few days, she will be able to take over the internal affairs of the entire Shu Palace.

Even if it was like that, Jiang Wan thought it looked like a big head.

But the ones in the Shu Palace are nothing compared to the two big boxes in front of them.

She raised her forehead for a while: "So many books?"

Yuan Fu got more and more obsessed: "Because there are many people checking and the years are long, the master wants all the books in the past five years, and the slaves can only do so, so they are all here.

Moreover, this is not the most original account book of Wei Junshou's relatives and family members, but it was investigated by the servants, otherwise there would be more. "

That's for sure.

They got back such two big boxes when they inquired and investigated outside. If they really searched people's property, they might need more than a dozen or even dozens of big boxes, and the small yard would have to be piled up to finish.

Zhao Xing knew that Yuan Fu was not so careless, so he asked again: "What are the key points?"

Sure enough, Yuan Fu pointed to the basic ledger on the top of the box on the left: "These three books. The servant has sorted them out, and also read them for the master and the princess."

Jiang Wan gasped: "So it's really checked?"

"Wei Junshou's first wife was born in Hongnong Yang's family, and she is also a girl from a side branch. She married Wei Junshou in her early years, and she is considered a good match."

Yuan Fu said yes, and continued to answer her words, of course, for Zhao Xing and the others: "Later, the governor of Wei became the governor of Kuaiji, and the status of Mrs. Yang naturally rose with the tide. Yang is also very eloquent.

This Mrs. Yang has a younger brother who is a compatriot of the same mother, known as Mr. Yang Sanlang.

Yang Sanlang married a girl from the Huan family again.

When the slaves took people to investigate, in the past few days, they found three Zhuangzi and five shops under Mrs. Huan's name.

But Yang Sanlang is white, has no imperial examinations, and has no official position enshrined by his ancestors. "

The Hongnong Yang family has been declining day by day since 30 years ago. Although it is not yet in decline, it is certain that the hundred-year-old gentry will decline.

Among such a big family, as long as they are not in full swing, most of them can't make ends meet.

The direct branch is still better, but the life of the side branch is more difficult.

Yang Sanlang and his wife didn't seem to be like this.

With three Zhuangzi and five shops, at least 3000 taels of profit can be earned every year. Knowing how much 3000 taels of silver is money that people will never see for a few lifetimes is beyond their imagination.

Not to mention it's just the minimum.

When there are so many, it can be said that there are tens of thousands of taels.

Where do these industries come from?

Where did the money go?
Zhao Xing's face sank like water: "The money is all in the names of Yang Sanlang and the Huan family?"

"Only a part." Yuan Fu shook his head and said no, "The slaves checked the ones that Yang Sanlang and his wife kept in the bank outside, but they were only more than [-] taels, far from enough.

Moreover, the servant also found out which properties under the name of the couple were established three years ago.

In terms of time, it actually happened to be the time of the scientific examination that year, that is, when Wei Junshou was transferred to the front and back of Qinghe County. "

·
Wei Zhichao was handed over to the imperial envoy's mansion.

He was uneasy himself.

After all, he knows best what he has done.

There is always a hint of luck, thinking that three years have passed, Zhao Xing and the others may not be able to find out.

So even if Zhao Xing and the others made insinuations last time, he didn't confide a word, and still chose to cover it up with lies.

Later, knowing that even Wei Yanming had been sent to the imperial envoy's residence for questioning, Wei Zhichao felt a little bad in his heart, but he had already missed the opportunity to take the initiative to explain.

You can only hold on to the end.

At this moment, everyone is in the hall, and the posture of the battle is not much better than asking questions in the government hall.

As soon as he entered the door just now, he saw the guards of the Three Steps and One Imperial Guard, who were extremely serious, and he knew that it would be difficult to be kind today, and Zhao Xing would not allow him to cover up like that casually.

Wei Zhichao had seen Li, but Zhao Xing didn't even wave his hand to let him sit down, and just came straight to the point with him.

He questioned the inexplicable properties under the names of Yang Sanlang and the Huan family on his face.

The panic in Wei Zhichao's eyes flashed, and then turned into a daze: "Where did you hear this, my lord? Even the lower officials don't know..."

"Yang Sanlang is your brother-in-law, you don't know?"

Zhao Xing clicked his tongue: "Since this king asked you to go to the imperial envoy's mansion to answer the question, and the question came in front of you, there is naturally evidence, and the investigation has been clear.

Mr. Wei wants the king to show those evidences, so you are willing to think about it? "

Wei Zhichao's back stiffened, and he felt that even his scalp was numb: "No... no... It's just that the subordinate has been in Kuaiji County for a long time. Although Sanlang is my subordinate's wife and brother, he is far away in Hongnong and has become a The people at home almost never move around on weekdays, and at most during the New Year's Eve, they exchanged letters to say hello.

Now the lord suddenly asked the lord that there were many properties under his name that he shouldn't have. The lord really didn't know about it, and he really couldn't answer the lord's words. "

Zhao Xing groaned, really not angry, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "As far as this king knows, his properties were all taken by Mr. Wei before and after he was transferred from Kuaiji three years ago.

And at that time, it was also the time when the corruption and fraud cases that the students said were happening.

Mr. Wei has been a county guard for more than ten years, and has dealt with a lot of government affairs, big and small. May he talk to this king, is this all a coincidence? "

It was indeed a coincidence that these simple five words had already reached Wei Zhichao's lips.

But he couldn't speak.

Because he knows it's not.

Zhao Xing also knew.

Wei Zhichao thought for no reason that Zhao Xing was someone who didn't believe in coincidences at all.

No matter how much he said, it was just sophistry.

Wei Zhichao fell silent for a moment.

Zhao Ran also imitated what Zhao Xing had done in the past, snorted and took a look: "Master Wei has nothing to say right now?"

Wei Zhichao pursed the corners of his lips, and straightened the line of his lips: "The prince has already made a decision in his heart, isn't it useless for me to talk too much?"
