51 Chapter [-] Audacity (Part [-])
Soon, the salt merchants finished what they were supposed to do today, and within three days the donated silver was handed over to the government office, and the whole matter was considered over.

The salt merchants left Dongyue Temple in despair, and only officials at all levels were still kneeling there.

……

Jiang Yidong was soon awakened by Dr. Xia, but Cai Youkun was more stubborn.

Cai Youkun didn't wake up until everyone returned to the mansion. When he woke up, he found that this place was familiar to him, but where he usually sat, now Xie Yu, who was upright, was sitting, while he was lying on the floor.

"Now that you are awake, first check if the official uniform on your body is still there?"

Cai Youkun looked down, and suddenly felt chills all over, except for his underwear, there was nothing else on his body.

"You have been an official for many years. You should understand the situation at this moment. No one can save you! I have been an official in the same dynasty for many years, and I would like to remind you a few words. The pursuit is not that there is no evidence in hand, but that it will not happen until today, for the sake of your family, I advise you not to be stubborn again!"

Cai Youkun let out a breath, lying on the ground, all hope was lost.

……

Qin Wubing was not in the hall, but sat in the signing room with Prince Xiang.

Prince Xiang was sitting at the top, drinking tea with a smile, Dexi and Dequan separated on both sides, Qin Wubing sat at the bottom, Lin Huai was standing.

"The governor of Mingzhou is a big fat man, so fat!" Prince Xiang seemed to be talking to himself: "But they just don't have enough! Just one crime of corruption is enough to kill them, like yesterday There are so many unjust cases in Cai Youkun's hands! Judgments are not based on the law but on silver, hum! They think that by marrying, they can protect each other from officials and officials, and if the methods are more ruthless, no one can do anything to them So I became more and more courageous, and dared to use the official bank to release loan sharks privately, and collected the interest for nothing and put it into my own pocket..."

"Ah? What does the lord mean to say that they don't use their own money to put loan sharks? Cai Youkun is too courageous!" Qin Wubing asked in surprise.

Prince Xiang seemed not to have heard Qin Wubing's question, and still said to himself:

"The tax silver collected by the local government needs to be returned to the furnace and recast, and then turned into official silver and then handed over to the national treasury. 50 taels of ingots are neatly stacked and transported to the capital by water. These things were originally completed before the end of the year. They are lucky. At the beginning of the year, I began to collect tax money secretly, and released it when I collected it. I don’t pay for it, and I earn a lot of money from the court every year! Where does he have the guts? If there is no Jiang Yidong, he would dare! There are many officials under Jiang Yidong who can listen to him, and there is more than one Cai Youkun! It is not an exaggeration to say that Jiang Yidong is as rich as an enemy!"

"I know about loan sharks, but there will always be times when you can't get it back?" Qin Wubing asked again.

"They are also worried that they won't be able to get it back, so they have some requirements for those who borrow money. These people either have land and shops in their hands, or have some government relations. They cooperate with those from the Cao Gang. The mud legs will come to the door, want to beat or kill, who dare not pay back?"

"He also knows about risk control and collection!" Qin Wubing muttered and asked again: "No matter how careful you are, some people will catch up with natural disasters and man-made disasters, even when you can't pay off the knife rest on your neck!"

"That's natural, so there is a deficit! How to fill it? Anyway, it won't be filled back from its own account. After the emperor succeeded to the throne, he vigorously rectified the administration of officials and investigated and dealt with corruption. The first step was naturally to investigate the deficit. It’s not been a year or two for the silver, how can the shortfall be so small? The money released will not be recovered in a short time, so they can only think of other ways.”

"Intensify corruption!" Qin Wubing said seriously.

"You hozen, you can use a word occasionally very well!"

"Since they haven't been like this for a year or two, there must be rumors spreading to the capital, why are they being dealt with today?"

Prince Xiang sighed:

"Power and power! In addition to power, there is also power. Power is given by the court. Power? Naturally, it depends on their own accumulation, and the father will last for a lifetime. Alas, moving one person will affect countless families! The late emperor was kind, always thinking that they can If you have a little conscience, just hit it once, but they don't know how to repent and get worse!"

"My lord, don't be upset. Let them be dealt with right now, as if they have saved money for the court all these years. It's not all a bad thing."

Prince Xiang laughed and said, "I love to hear what you talk about, hozen!"

"When they shared profits with some members of the Cao Gang, they were prone to conflicts. That's why the murder happened in the street?"

Prince Xiang said seriously:

"Jiang Yidong, Cai Youkun and others are too greedy. They don't want to spit out what they eat. They use the people from the Cao Gang to help him collect the bills and make up for the shortfall, but they refuse to share the profits as promised. The government is tearing its face apart, but it won't let him order it around!"

"My lord saw the opportunity and planned against me?"

Prince Xiang chuckled and said, "It's just to force him to go the way of Fuya and run into you."

Qin Wubing snorted and asked again: "What about the cheating case in the scientific examination? Yu Shicheng has already been killed by them! The vines are broken, where can we go to find out?"

"What's the rush? Without this vine, there are other vines. Don't worry about this." Prince Xiang picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea slowly.

"Since I'm not in a hurry, then I'll go home and have a look, and I'll be back in ten or eight days." Qin Wubing said as he stood up and was about to go out.

"The 50 taels of silver I brought from the capital to repair the river... lost it!"

Qin Wubing had already stepped over the threshold with one leg, and he retracted it before touching the ground.

"Lost it? Who ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall?" Qin Wubing walked directly in front of Prince Xiang, and asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"This king also wants to know who has such courage!" Prince Xiang looked at Qin Wubing with a smile.

"My lord wants me to investigate this case?"

Lin Huai took a step forward and patted Qin Wubing and said, "Aren't you talking nonsense? I didn't want you to find out, why didn't you let you go home?"

"You understand now! If you want me to investigate, you have to talk about the cause and effect, right?"

Prince Xiang picked up the tea again, Dexi took a step forward, bowed and said, "My master wanted to be subdued, so he entered the border of the south of the Yangtze River and took the dry road. The 50 taels of silver still went by water, passing through the Huaijing Canal, and passed through the Huaijing Canal the day before yesterday. When we arrived at Jinling Hongyun Wharf, the money was gone when we checked that night.”

"It's really concise! How many ships are there to transport the silver? How many guards are there? Has anyone else boarded the ship on the way? Did no one find anything unusual? How do you know it was lost that night? Are there daily inspections during the transport?"

Prince Xiang laughed and said, "I knew it would be best for you to handle this matter."

"I haven't checked yet, how does the prince know that I can do it?"

"Your marriage has been retired anyway, how about I help you talk about a marriage?" Prince Xiang smiled kindly.

"My lord!" Qin Wubing shouted helplessly.

"Go down first!" Prince Xiang waved his hand.

All the waiters in the room went out, Lin Huai was reluctant to part, and those who turned around every step of the way also left the signing room.
