The most ferocious sword of the Imperial City Division
Chapter 355 Swear to God
Chapter 355 Swear to God
Gu Shiwei and Han Shiyan looked at each other, and they were both very surprised by Tao Ran's behavior.
"Do you still remember the canal tax money shipwreck case?"
Tao Ran was a little surprised when he heard this. He picked up the teacup on the table and poured a cup of cold tea for Gu Shiwei and Han Shiyan, as if he had completely forgotten that he had already purred into the spout of the teapot before.
"Didn't Prince Fu Yin of Kaifeng Mansion already ask about the tax issue?"
"This case is being investigated by the Kaifeng Mansion. How come the Imperial City Secretary and Yushitai are also involved? I have already said what I need to say."
Tao Ran said, shaking his head, obviously dissatisfied with having to say it again, but seeing the sword on Gu Shiwei's waist, he calmly repeated it after all.
"I didn't notice anything wrong, and I was demoted because I lost my tax money. Just thinking about it makes me very angry."
"I remember that it was a clear day. When Li Jingzhe and Jiang Xun handed over the tax money to me, they had already put a seal on it. This was not the first time I had shipped that thing. Li Jiang and I were very close friends. "
"Although Li Jingzhe is a little greedy for money and likes to take benefits from others, it is tax money, how dare he take it!"
"And Jiang Xun," Tao Ran said with some sigh, "Jiang Xun is a good man and a true gentleman. The wife I married, Yuan, is his distant cousin. Jiang Xun is aloof at best, and aloof at worst. The point is that it’s old-fashioned…”
"If the water is clear, there will be no fish. Nowadays, if any official doesn't show some respect, everyone will turn a blind eye..."
Halfway through Tao Ran's words, he belatedly realized that Han Shiyan was sitting here, and immediately stopped talking, complaining in his heart!
Yaoshou! The pill to fake death was going to work, but he was too happy today and accidentally took it away! Shouldn’t Yushi Han just write ten thousand words to criticize him when he goes back...
He thought and smiled at Han Shiyan with some scorn, "That's not what I meant. Anyway, Jiang Xun is a good person. He never takes a big hit from the people or receives any benefits, and only relies on his meager salary. live."
"If Li Jingzhe and I hadn't helped him from time to time, he would have starved to death long ago. But good people are not rewarded, and he contracted a serious disease at a young age."
Gu Shiwei listened quietly, then suddenly interrupted and asked, "What disease does Jiang Xun have?"
Tao Ran was stunned. Although he didn't know why Gu Shiwei asked this, he still replied, "Lung disease. The doctor said he was too worried. That's the kind of temper he has. If someone spanked him in passing, he would have to think of eighteen To put it another way, others are dissatisfied with him.”
"Speaking of which, he is really depressed. He worries about the country and the people all day long."
Gu Shiwei did not express an opinion and continued to ask, "Since you have transported tax money so many times, didn't you notice any difference this time? The weight of the box, the depth of the ship's draft..."
Tao Ran shook his head and stretched out his hand to scratch his head. "Wang Fuyin also asked me this question. He said that Chu Liangchen saw with his own eyes that the cages at the bottom of the river were full of stones. Later, he sent a water ghost to check again. Already..."
"Although a lot of it was washed away, there are still residues. You can indeed see that there are stones inside."
"I really didn't pay attention at the time. If Li Jingzhe would harm me, then Jiang Xun would never harm me! And this is not the first time. I have never carried a box, so how do I know how much a box weighs."
Han Shiyan listened and frowned, "Then you are really hanging your brain on other people's belts. You didn't raise your eyebrows. What about those people under you? None of them told you that there was anything abnormal? In other words, then Did anything different happen when you were lifting the box?"
Tao Ran thought about it for a moment, and Erlang's legs, which had been shaking, suddenly stopped.
He pursed his lips hesitantly and said, "No one told me. But..." "But what?" Han Shiyan asked.
Tao Ran thought for a while and said with some uncertainty, "The government officials from Suzhou Prefecture happened to be there that day, and Li Jingzhe asked them to help carry the boxes and cages. They didn't have any in the past year, but it was already noon when we set off that day. "
"Li Jingzhe saw that I was anxious, so he asked someone to help lift him. It was a strenuous job. If someone helps, the brothers can move more easily. I don't agree with it."
"Why did you set off late?" Han Shiyan asked again.
Tao Ran recalled it carefully, and then said cautiously, "Li Jingzhe and the others wereted a lot of time in checking and sealing the boxes... It's not like it happened before, but it wasn't as long as that time..."
When Tao Ran said this, he also noticed that something was wrong.
He stood up suddenly and exhaled in pain. He reached out to hold his waist and grinned in pain, "My waist, my waist, my waist is twisted! This medicine shouldn't make people sick." waist……"
He suddenly remembered what Gu Shiwei had said before about cutting off his descendants, and he suddenly became frightened.
Could it be that the crow's mouth was really right? The pill in the twenty-third chapter will make people die off their children and grandchildren!
Seeing that his thoughts were far away, Gu Shinwei immediately interrupted him. She looked at Tao Ran coldly, "Did you know that Yuan Huo died? Jiang Xun's death was not an accident. The same person was Li Jingzhe... We Do you understand now why you came here?”
Although Tao Ran is a bit weird, he is someone who worked his way up from the bottom, so he is certainly not stupid.
He opened his mouth in shock, "Yuan Huo is dead? How could it be? We met in the palace yesterday..."
"What does Yuan Huo have to do with the tax money case? He, he, he... Jiang Xun, Jiang Xun died of illness... I know what you want to say. You want to say that they stole the tax money, and now they have all been silenced. Yes. And I am also a person related to the tax bank.”
"You think I, Jiang Xun and Li Jingzhe stole the tax money... Now I am the next person to be silenced!"
Tao Ran said, his voice trembling.
"Impossible, I can swear on the lives of my whole family that I have never stolen any tax money."
"And I still don't believe that Jiang Xun would steal tax money. You don't know him and you don't know what an upright person he is."
"Even if I doubt myself, I still believe in him!"
Tao Ran looked at Gu Shiwei and Han Shiyan hopefully, trying to tell the truth from their faces, but their eyes were clear and they were not lying at all.
"Is there anyone whom Jiang Xun particularly respects? Or is there any benefactor?"
Tao Ran shook his head in confusion. He thought for a while and asked, "Does Confucius and Mencius count?"
Gu Shiwei was speechless, why didn't you say that God doesn't care?
Seeing that Gu Shiwei was silent, Tao Ran asked for trouble. He stretched out his hand and touched his nose, "I really haven't heard him mention this. He doesn't talk much and focuses on doing practical things. If you say that the person who mentioned it the most , should be his mentor Master Han."
