Dali Temple Conspiracy Records

Chapter 82
Li Quan didn't notice that Bai Sanxiu was depressed, but after returning to Li's house, the familiar chatter didn't give her a chance to continue to be sad.

"It can be regarded as coming back." Murong Ke greeted him from the front hall, holding a bowl of sweet wine in his hand.Needless to say, he scooped it from the ice cellar himself.

Bai Sanxiu didn't expect that he would be waiting for them in Li's house.Murong Ke was also polite, first asked her about the evening menu, and when he was satisfied, he said to Li Quan: "I brought you the budget. I asked several companies and asked them to give me detailed quotations. As a result This is good, all the carpenter shops in the city thought that the Murong Mansion was going to renovate the gate, so they came to recommend themselves one after another, and the threshold was even stepped on by me."

"Pfft! So why did you repair the gate?"

"It's not for your Sizhi." Murong Ke gave her an angry look.

Bai Sanxiu automatically ignored those two words, "Si Zhi asked you to ask?"

"I want to see how much it will cost to renovate the entire gate of the Lihuiyuan. The gate of his mansion is about the same size."

Li Quan's explanation was very simple, but she already understood.

"Si Zhi has been eyeing the Ministry of Industry since he saw that report, right?"

"Work in the Ministry of Industry is not only a hard job, but also a fat job." He said something meaningful, and went to the study with Murong Ke.

----

The next investigation was a matter of course.Yushitai began to review all the accounts and construction of the renovation project of the Lihuiyuan.However, Murong Ke is the censor of the Taiyuan Court, and the Six Departments of the Supervisory Book are in charge of the Procuratorate. Therefore, after the materials are handed over, the work of Li Quan and Murong Ke is considered to have come to an end.

Unexpectedly, the results of this investigation far exceeded expectations.The preliminary budget submitted by the Ministry of Industry this time far exceeds the scope of renovation, but is equivalent to the quotation for replacing the main components.The supervisory censor asked someone to re-appraise the damaged components cleaned out of the ruins of the house, and interrogated the officials of the Ministry of Industry who were in charge of maintenance and accident identification.This is the real reason for the sudden collapse of the roof.

It turned out that more than ten years ago, the Lihuiyuan had undergone a major renovation, and the gate of the house was basically newly repaired.At that time, in order to profit from it, the Ministry of Industry used some inferior wood, and deducted a lot of expenses as soon as the income was paid out.During this inspection, the Ministry of Industry found that the main components such as the central truss and the large fork were seriously aging, so they planned to secretly replace these parts through renovation.Unexpectedly, something happened before the scaffolding was finished.So the Ministry of Industry made a false report and shifted the responsibility to Xu Daye.

The procuratorate found that over the years, the corruption and dereliction of duty of officials of the Ministry of Industry have been involved for a long time and in a wide range, and it is far more than just a ritual house.The emperor was furious, and ordered the craftsmen to be generously compensated, and thoroughly investigated the fourth department of the Ministry of Industry. When Li Guan filed the case file of Sipa's mischief, the procuratorate was still busy.

"Unexpectedly, a handkerchief took out the entire Ministry of Industry." Bai Sanxiu sighed.

Li Quan glanced at her, "Do you think it's over?"

"Ah, what else?"

"You also solved your doubts that night?"

"What night?"

"Drool that night."

"..."

Seeing his serious appearance, Bai Sanxiu suddenly wanted to overturn his teacup.She took a deep breath before picking up her train of thought again in embarrassment and annoyance. "You mean, why did Sipa appear in the horse house? Is it really in the dark?"

"There is no need to prepare dinner today, Mrs. Yang invited us to Tianxianglou for dinner."

She froze for a moment, not understanding why he went to the banquet again.

"You go too."

"Hey?"
