soap official family

Chapter 385 Interrogation
There is no need for Qingqing to check the account books by herself. A bunch of expert account checkers came from the household department, and checked the situation of the four families one by one. However, the Qin family ransacked the house anyway, and compared them one by one against the account books and the warehouse. After checking a few moths in the Ministry of War, I brought them back and took them home.The young emperor was really mad!
Even if the four ministers were not upright, even the people in the Ministry of War had to pluck their hair. Are they still human beings?It only took one day. If ten days and a half had passed and the limelight had passed, he would think better of what they did. But the result was, one day!
Qingqing has no control over how the young emperor is vomiting.As soon as Qingqing returned to his palace, he heard that Ximen Kai had gone to Tianlao, and the young emperor officially asked Dali Temple to hear the case.Qingqing thought that the Tianlao was right next to the palace city, so he followed him there.

The gatekeepers were from Dali Temple. They had seen Qingqing before. Even if they didn't know she was a princess, they knew she was not an ordinary person who could get here. They let her in without even asking.

The layout of Tianlao is actually similar to that of Kaifeng Mansion Dalao, and even the smell is similar, but it is obviously a little taller.The ground is paved with large stone slabs, and you can feel the deep coldness with every step you take.

It was very quiet in the Tianlao, and the sound of Ximen opening could be heard from far away. His voice was very impatient at this time. Obviously, it was because of Qingqing.The young master's temper finally exploded.

"That didn't happen ten years ago." Prime Minister Qin's voice was a bit hoarse. Of course, from a distance, he was still a little confident.The tone was like questioning Ximen Kai.They used to receive a large amount of property every year, and they really didn't think there was any problem with this.

There is a set of tables and chairs in the middle of Qingqing's cell, which should be the resting place for the prison guards, but now, those people are gone.Qingqing sat down quietly and listened to their interrogation.

"Let's talk about what happened ten years ago. The account books have been checked out ten years ago. It's not an exaggeration to say that it helped make the family rich, right?" Ximen Kai was in a bad mood and naturally had nothing nice to say to Prime Minister Qin.

"Ten years ago, the Duke of Yue was everyone's God of Wealth. Every year they sent people to Beijing, it was a big event for each family. At that time, no one took their property. The late emperor knew this, and he told us before , take it as a reward from his old man, and accept it generously. If you don't believe it, you can read the records of the late emperor's daily life. I remember it was the spring of the second year of Guanglu." At this moment, Qin Xiang sneered on his face. .If you ask anything else, he may not be so confident.In the second year of Guanglu, that was 30 years ago.

Qingqing stood up and walked slowly to the interrogation room.

"Who are you?" Qin Xiang saw Qingqing, a beauty in palace attire, with her hands in her sleeves, but her eyes looked a little familiar.He finally remembered that the way the Young Emperor looked at him yesterday was like this, and suddenly his whole body started to tremble. Now he knew where he was wrong. They always thought that the Young Emperor was using this girl to test the limits of the ministers. What the Young Emperor really wanted He recognized the little fat man who was brought to the royal study room to listen to politics.So they have been testing and objecting. After all, if an illegitimate child wants to be recognized, this is something that cannot be tolerated by the court's laws.

"Your Highness!" Ximen Kai didn't expect Qingqing to come and walked sideways.

"In the second year of Guanglu, when you said this, was it before or after the Queen Mother?" Qingqing asked in a deep voice, "What position did you hold at that time?"

"After that, when I was a junior... then, I was the secretary and the young prisoner." The fat all over the old man's body trembled.

"What kind of official is that? What rank!" Qingqing didn't understand and turned to Ximenkai.At this moment, she could only ask him.

"Secretary Cheng is the adjutant of the Secretary Province, in charge of ancient and modern atlas, national historical records, astronomical calendars, etc. From the fifth rank!" Ximen Kai lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

"How old were you then?" Qingqing thought about it and looked at Mr. Qin. "45 years old." Mr. Qin is still a little proud. He can reach the fifth rank at the age of 45. Among officials of his level, it is very fast.

Qingqing nodded and left silently.So my Grandpa Wang is really amazing. He has reached the fifth rank in his 30s, but he is still a "poor" official. He doesn't even have a dowry for his daughter, and his wife doesn't have a maid or a carriage when she goes to pay her respects. Being squeezed to death?

In the interrogation room, Prime Minister Qin didn't come back to his senses for a while, and asked for a long time, "Who is she?"

"His Royal Highness Princess Zhaoyang!" Ximen Kai looked at Qin Xiang coldly. His mind was not bad. Qingqing came in to ask what he said about the second year of Guanglu. At that time, why did she come in and ask about it? It was before the Empress Dowager incident. Or later.That's right, a fifth-rank secretary and provincial secretary Cheng can get a lot of property from the Duke of Yue, and it's just after the emperor was abolished and the Liu family was cleaned up.The timing is indeed very intriguing.

"The emperor wants to recognize her?" Qin Xiang looked at him in horror.

Ximen Kai was a little impatient and was about to say something, but suddenly he looked up. He was not a fool, he was only a little bit stupider than Qing Qing.If it comes to interrogation, he is more than a little better than Qingqing.He can clearly distinguish what "recognition" means and what "adoption" means.However, he didn't speak, he just raised his head and looked at Xiang Qin, "Let's talk about your warehouse!"

Tang Leng stood outside the Tianlao. He had a lot of things to do in the afternoon. Later he heard that Qingqing came to the Tianlao, so he thought about it and came over to touch her.Qingqing ignored him and didn't get on her own chariot. She silently held her hands and walked back.

"Your Highness?" Tang Leng thought about it and followed him. Seeing that Qingqing ignored him, he couldn't help but call her.

"Judging from the accounts, are the conditions of the other three companies similar?" Qingqing did not stop, she still had something to think about.The first assistant is 75, and the other three should not be younger.The money found should be about the same, so none of these four people should be the same.They all start from the bottom and are not easily controlled.Otherwise, they wouldn't be where they are today.For such a person, even if Duke Yue is alive, he will not really believe it. There are too many variables.Therefore, the person he is looking for is not among these people.

"Yes, in fact, I want to use the method of checking the accounts to find out the details. The possibility is not very high." Tang Leng followed behind and replied softly. He felt that Qingqing was a bit naive. If the audit could find out who was related to the Duke of Yue It has something to do with it. It's really too naive. It was originally said in the Art of War that the imaginary is the real thing and the real thing is the imaginary thing. Who would put secrets in the account books.

"It's not about looking for details!" Qingqing was too lazy to tell Tang Leng this and decided to change the topic, "Taichang Temple actually has some overlap with the functions of the Ministry of Rites, right?"

　It’s still the same old problem, I think I’ve updated it, but I haven’t.
