Chapter 318
The palace tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. Since the palace door was locked, box after box of ledgers have all been carried to the side hall. The entire House of Internal Affairs, whether it is the head of internal affairs or the fathers-in-law and maids below, has all been captured by General Wei Liu Chang. , took all the people to a yard and detained them separately.

Hua Shunming didn't use the six departments this time, but asked his cronies to interrogate and ransack the house overnight. When it was dawn, there was already a queue at the gate of the palace with a cart full of stolen property.

All the ministers who came to court had no choice but to walk down into the palace from a distance. When everyone reached the main hall, they still hadn't figured out the situation.

"There is a decree from the sage, please move to the side hall." Le San waited for them to stand for a long time before coming out to announce the decree.

"Eunuch Le, why didn't the Holy Majesty go to court?" Chen Zishu glanced at the historian standing beside him, as if reminding Le San that today's events would be recorded again.

Le San made a gesture of invitation, "My lords, you will find out after a while.

There are things you adults want to know in this side hall, please move on! "

After finishing speaking, Le San didn't linger too long, the Holy One was still waiting for him to serve.

"This?" Chen Zishu turned to look at the adults, "Why don't we go to the side hall first?"

"Go," you can't resist the order and disrespect, right?

Pushing open the door of the side hall, I found that there were already rows of people sitting inside, and those people were all holding abacus in their hands, counting.

"The sage doesn't want us to watch these people make accounts, does he?" Cao Xiangqian stepped forward to flip through the account book, feeling dizzy for a while.

There are many words on it that know him, but he doesn't know the other party.

"Do you understand?" Xu Zhiwen was sent to the Eastern Province as a small county magistrate because of his grandson Xu Zhongren, who was awarded a fellow Jinshi during this time.

Cao Xiangqian would not be like other officials who let him go, just go back straight away, "I don't understand, it's better than some people pretending to understand all the time. It is said that the higher you stand, the harder you fall. Master Xu should understand this well." I have experience."

"You..." Xu Zhiwen glared at him, "It's better than you have no chance to understand."

Cao Xiangqian snorted, and stopped talking to him. Anyway, he had all the books in his hand, so he simply looked through them.

Although he doesn't quite understand it, everyone else understands it. Even if they don't care about daily necessities, they still know the cost of going to Beijing, and their eyes widen instantly.

Zhou Shicong, the servant of the household department, quietly came to the Minister of the Ministry of punishment, "Master Huang, why did you make such a big noise so quietly?"

Jin Jin was puzzled, "Our execution department really doesn't know, and shouldn't your household department be responsible for so many accounts?"

Zhou Shicong shook his head instantly, "Our household department can't control the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but so many funds are allocated every year. It used to be made like this. This is about to change."

Jin Jin looked at him suspiciously, "You are so calm now, are you sure you won't be involved?"

You know, even if it is the Ministry of Internal Affairs, all the silver is received from the Ministry of Household Affairs, which is unclear.

Zhou Shicong's face froze. He knew that what Jin Jin said made sense. Although he could have a clear conscience, would other people think so?
At this moment, all the civil and military officials stood beside them, quietly watching these people dial their abacus, and the crackling sound made them all feel a little terrified.

This kind of suffering also existed for Gong Zhengping and Bai Jinglie.

From entering the palace yesterday to now, they have been waiting in the study.

Although they each found a corner to rest for a while, they couldn't sleep well at all.

Looking at Gu Wenheng who was sitting on the desk, turning pages backwards, the two of them admired his concentration at once. He was obviously involved in this matter, but he was calmer than everyone else.

In fact, they were all wrong, and Gu Wenheng was also in a panic. Did the wife and children at home not sleep well because he didn't come home all night?

"Wen Heng, it's very bright today, why doesn't your majesty go to court?" Bai Jinglie looked at Hua Shunming who was still sitting in front of the desk with a dark face, quietly ran to Gu Wenheng's side, and asked in a low voice.

Gu Wenheng, "I'm waiting now, until all the things come to light and all the fish are caught in the net, then this thing will start."

Gu Wenheng guessed that Hua Shunmin was thinking about more things now, and even became suspicious of everyone around him.

"Whether you have acquaintances in there or not, it doesn't matter." Gu Wenheng kindly reminded him because of the acquaintance and the fact that Bai Jinglie helped him earn so much money.

"Am I that stupid?" Bai Jinglie looked at Gu Wenheng worriedly, "I guess your target is going to be erected, you have to be mentally prepared."

Gu Wenheng raised his head and glanced at him. He would put forward such a suggestion, which is equivalent to almost catching all the fish in one catch. If there are really caught fish, they have to lie on their stomachs. How dare they show their heads?
"Do you think everyone will stare at me? Don't forget, from yesterday to now, I am not the only one who is in the study."

Bai Jinglie ran tens of thousands of horses in his heart, and almost couldn't help but swear, so he was still dragged into the water.

Gong Zhengping sighed, that's all, over the years anyway, he doesn't know how many enemies he has made for himself, one more is not too many, one less is not much, so that's it.

Compared with the three of them, Hua Shunming only felt that the anger in his heart was about to explode, and he just waited for the torture to come out to see how many people were involved.

Gu Wenheng has also sorted out all the assets obtained from the overnight raid. Fortunately, these officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs usually live in the palace, so there is no big commotion. A lot came back.

Looking at these piles of accounts, Gu Wenheng only felt that he was still too poor. He and Jin Qianqian had worked hard for the past few years, but they couldn't compare to this big mouse.

At this time, he still had some hopeful mentality, and brought the account book to Hua Shunming's case, "My lord, everything is sorted out."

Hua Shunming looked up at him, then turned to the last page, looked at the shocking number, and yelled a few words.

"I always thought that I was rich in the world, but I didn't expect that I was busy working for these people." Hua Shunmin slammed the table and stood up, "Le San, go and urge Liu Chang again. If you don't explain clearly, you will give me a favor." Big punishment, life or death."

Although Bai Jinglie and Gong Zhengping were also curious about how much these people had been greedy for, they didn't dare to show their heads at this moment, and could only shrink back in the corner, trying to minimize their sense of existence.

Gu Wenheng also felt good and retreated behind them. Now he is just a small editor, and it is safest to stand here.

Bai Jinglie, "..."

Gong Zhengping, "..."
