Chapter 612 Disturbing Chang'an
Since Li Xian worshiped the chancellor, the current minister of Dali Temple is named Wei She. This minister from Jingzhao Webster has some kinship with Wei Yingwu.

Wei She had defected to Li Heng when Lingwu ascended the throne, and would often write letters to persuade the emperor. After Li Xian resigned, he was appointed Minister of Dali Temple.

However, Wei She was conservative, and most of his advice was to persuade the emperor, and he often complained that he was a hero from the dragon, but he could not be in the cabinet.

Just after the East Palace threw an olive branch to Wei She, Wei She immediately and gradually turned to the prince.

An incident happened at the end of last year. The Wei She clan gradually became arrogant because of Wei She's dignitary, and even sent people to go up the mountain to cut down the pines and cypresses on Zhongnan Mountain near Chang'an.

People in Tang Dynasty had the habit of planting pines and cypresses around tombs, and Zhongnan Mountain is a big mountain near Chang’an, so people have built tombs on Zhongnan Mountain since the early Tang Dynasty, so Zhongnan Mountain is lush with pines and cypresses and is green all year round.

Pines and cypresses are high-quality wood, and Wei She's people went to Zhongnan Mountain to cut pines and cypresses secretly at first, but after seeing that the local government didn't dare to take care of them, they organized people to go up the mountain to cut pines and cypresses.

For some reason, this matter was known by the censor of Yushitai, and when the censor was about to play Wei She, he was suppressed by the prince with great effort.

From then on, Wei She was even more devoted to the prince.

Prince Li Chu attaches great importance to the position of Minister of Dali Temple. Since Wei She became the Minister of Dali Temple, he has been adding sand to Dali Temple continuously.

Shan Tao was recommended by Cui Guangyuan to Dali Temple, and when he went to Dali Temple, the minister of Dali Temple was still Li Xian.

As an old man, Shan Tao was originally the target of being suppressed and excluded, and he has always been sitting on the bench in Dali Temple.

But Shan Tao doesn't care too much, he is now sitting in Dali Temple, with a lot of experience, he can also enjoy the salary of the imperial court, life should not be too comfortable.

But Wei She summoned Shan Tao suddenly, which also surprised Shan Tao.

When Shan Tao walked into the courtroom where the case was handled in Dali Temple, he realized that not only him, but all the personnel handling the case in Dali Temple were summoned to the courtroom, and Wei She changed into the official robe of Dali Temple Minister and sat in the courtroom with a serious face is headed.

To say that the authority of the department of Dali Temple is also quite metaphysical. When Dali Temple has great power, it can review all major cases in the world. Dali Temple also has its own case handlers. Dali Temple handles cases and can make all local officials tremble. .

But when the power of Dali Temple was small, it was just a rubber stamp and had no status at all.

However, the current Dali Temple still has a lot of power. The former minister of Dali Temple participated in the trial of the criminal officials who surrendered to the puppet Yan.

The status of Dali Temple is similar to the current FBI in the United States. It guides the criminal investigation work in various places. When encountering a big case, Dali Temple can send a team to investigate the case.

After the counterfeit money case was sent to Dali Temple, Wei She was still confused after reading the memorial.

It can be said that Wang Chengwei's case was handled quite beautifully. The testimony of all relevant personnel, account books and criminal evidence are all available. Although the crown prince cannot be directly pointed at, the crime of lax control in the East Palace will definitely not escape.

Moreover, it has nothing to do with the crown prince to be able to spend millions of dollars to cast new money at once. Who would believe it?
As the prince's party, Wei She could only ask his confidants to report to the prince immediately, and then convene all the directors and judges to discuss the matter.

Although Wei She belongs to the prince's party, he is not stupid.

This matter was ordered by the emperor to come to retrial, so the attitude of Dali Temple must be followed.

If a result cannot be given, the first one to be beaten will naturally be Wei She, the Minister of Dali Temple.

At this time, the attitude must be shown. Calling all the investigators of Dali Temple to participate in this case is the first step for Wei She to express his position.

But Wei She didn't intend to put the prince to death, he sat in the main hall and quickly arranged the work.

Several of Wei She's most trusted officers first escorted the corresponding physical evidence and criminals from the Wannian County Yamen to the prison in Dali Temple, and then ordered their own people to review the criminals.

As long as they enter the prison of Dali Temple, Wei She will naturally have a way to make them change their minds, and then put the blame on a small person under the East Palace Gate, and then he will be able to confess to the emperor.

As long as the prince is not involved in this matter, at most the prince will be held accountable for lax control, and the emperor will not abolish the prince because of this matter.

Wei She's calculation was very good, he pretended to give orders to everyone, when Shan Tao came, Wei She was stunned for a moment, and asked him to do some peripheral auxiliary work.

Anyone who is not Wei She's cronies cannot participate in the crucial interrogation. Shan Tao has always kept a low profile in Dali Temple, but he is still the former Minister of Dali Temple, so Wei She just arranged for him to do odd jobs.

For this result, Shan Tao naturally understood Wei She's intention, but there was a smile hidden in the corner of his mouth.

When Shan Tao returned to his territory, a group of players surrounded him.

"Brother Shan, how are you doing? What errand did we get?"

"Do odd jobs, what do you think Wei Siqing can arrange for us!"

"This is not good. Now the pressure is on our side. After all the other links have been completed, we can't lose the chain in Dali Temple!"

"They don't understand the situation in Dali Temple. Now Wei She, the dog official, is from the East Palace. When the prisoner mentions the prison in Dali Temple, he will definitely change his words. At that time, the prince will not be involved!"

"It would be a pity if such a large task chain is lost here."

Seeing many brothers filled with righteous indignation, Shan Tao said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Wei Siqing wants to cover the sky with one hand, I am afraid it will not be so easy, brothers, now is the time for us to do things!"

Seeing Shan Tao's confident appearance, many players cheered up, but how will Shan Tao break the game?
As night fell, many people in Chang'an City couldn't sleep. In Xuanyi Square in Chang'an City, a small official who had just come out of the yamen of the Ministry of Housing felt even more heavy.

It was already night, and the petty official rode back home on a group of horses with his night pass badge in his arms.

"Lang Jun is back?"

Xuanyifang is considered to be a good place in Chang'an City. This new house occupies a large area. This official has just moved to a new house, and the whole family is very excited.

The official's wife even stood at the door to welcome him home, but the official's mood was not very good, he just threw the reins to the boy, and then entered the house without saying a word.

The official's wife didn't know what wronged him in the yamen, but she didn't dare to offend her husband, so she just followed him into the house silently.

These days the household department is busy with official duties, and the husband often comes back very late. Before, the wife must have nagged a few words every day, but since moving to a new house and buying a bunch of slaves, the wife no longer dares to scold her husband like before .

Just as the official entered the house with his head down, suddenly a loud shout came from the door of the house:
"Dali Temple is doing business!"

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen big men rushed directly to the house. After hearing the name of Dali Temple, the official's expression changed drastically, and he wanted to escape even wearing the official's clothes.

But how could he run as fast as a sharp-eyed player, and soon he was directly grabbed by two players who rushed in, and was directly locked on the ground.

"I, I am an official of the Ministry of Households! You can't take me!"

The officials struggled, but Shan Tao of the Da Ma Jin Dao came over, squatted on the ground and said to him: "The court is a big case, Wang Zhongtong, you have been arrested! If you have anything to say, go to the cell of Dali Temple!"

Immediately afterwards, Shan Tao looked around and said, "Search! Give me a good search, and you can't let go of any letter from the ledger!"

The official named Wang Zhongtong was ashamed, and the matter still happened!

Wang Zhongtong is just a small official in the household department. There are thousands of small officials like him in Chang'an City.

If you meet a better chief official, you can get some benefits during the New Year and the festival, but the household department is a large department, with a large number of officials, and sometimes even the officials' salaries are owed by the court, let alone the officials.

Originally, Wang Zhongtong lived in the south city of Chang'an, and it took an hour to ride a donkey to the Yamen every day, and he was often scolded by his wife for being useless.

However, Wang Zhongtong's fate changed after Fifth Qi began to cast new money!

Wang Zhongtong agreed to make Qian Fan with the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry. Wang Zhongtong, who was quick-minded, immediately seized the opportunity!

He secretly rubbed the money fan of the new money, but as a small official in the household department, he definitely couldn't make fake money, so Wang Zhongtong dedicated the rubbings of this price to Donggong.

Because of this, Wang Zhongtong received a large reward from the East Palace, bought a new house in Xuanyifang, and lived a good life.

However, when he went to the government office today, Wang Zhongtong learned of the news that Wannian County had cracked a major case of counterfeit money through the network of small officials.

Originally, Wang Zhongtong was so frightened that he almost ran away and left Chang'an immediately, but he thought that this matter was done by the prince. The emperor couldn't blame his son, right?So Wang Zhongtong stayed at the yamen until the work was done, and then returned home.

Unexpectedly, just after returning home, he was arrested by Dali Temple. Wang Zhongtong was ashamed. In his study, there were evidences of his relationship with the East Palace, as well as the money rewarded from the East Palace.

The worst part is that there are rubbings of Qian Fan in his study!This is solid evidence, and now I'm dead!

On Shan Tao's side, other players also sent him good news. Several small officials and master craftsmen related to the Ministry of Households and Industry found evidence that they secretly printed money, and also got their money. The evidence that Fan Tuopian was sold to the dignitaries in Chang'an naturally included King Qi.

A smile appeared on the corner of Shan Tao's mouth. Didn't Wei Siqing want to calm things down? Let's see how far this Chang'an storm will go!
