After reading the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, I only eat hundreds of millions

Chapter 5 Phew!Urgent, they are all impatient
"Sixth son, this one has just returned to the Cui family and is very favored. You, please pay more attention." Wan San's face changed slightly, he warned Zhao Han in the prison, and left in a hurry.When the people above play games, they will only suffer the consequences.

With a sad face, Wan San stretched out his hand and slapped her twice hard on the cheek.

Greed, bad thing.

He shouldn't have waded into this muddy water.

Zhao Han sneered and didn't care at all.

Half a month ago, Cui Xue was recognized by Master Cui and returned to the Cui family.A high-profile mansion has the greatest reputation.If the Cui family really valued Cui Xue, they should have detained him in the mansion instead of showing off in public.Cui Xue came to the prison in a hurry this time and seemed to be covering up.But where is the prison?That cover-up is nothing.

"The Cui family."

Song Heng raised his eyebrows, Zhao Han's tone was a bit wrong.

Zhao Han: "This woman...

It is true that the imperial prison belongs to the Cui family, and they can come and go as they please.Everyone in the capital... At this time, no one knows that the prison is a trouble, no one dares to come, she is so conspicuous, and she wears men's clothes and thinks she is perfectly disguised, haha!

It seems that the scholar has a big problem. "

Song Hiiragi: Tsk!

Zhao Han hides it deeply enough.

Even the Zhao family thought he was a idiot, and all he could think about was torture.

Sure enough, a disciple of aristocratic family.

How can there be any ordinary people? !
"Brother Six, who is here?" Song Hao squinted his eyes and walked out of the corner with a smile, pretending not to hear anything.

"From the Cui family." Zhao Han said.When he raised his head, he once again looked like a cockroach, laughing and joking, not at all serious.

Song Zheng smiled and asked, "Is this... coming for the scholars?"

"A fool." Zhao Han said with a sarcastic smile.

"Perhaps, she did it on purpose." The corners of Song Piao's bright mouth were curved, and the scholar became hysterical and caused trouble on Zhuque Street.Those words... must have spread throughout Kyoto. If the Cui family really did nothing, wouldn't it be even more suspicious?

"You mean... what the scholar said is true? The Cui family is related to the case of missing tax money. The Cui family is not as rich as the country, but they should not be short of money. Besides, Cui Xun knows that Cui Taishi is a first-rank official, why should he take risks?" Zhao Han said, looking towards the location of the Grand Master's Mansion.

Tax money.

this thing...

Whoever touches it will die.

Not to mention being the Grand Master of the dynasty, even relatives of the emperor were involved.

Likewise, there is no way to escape the consequences of losing one's title or eliminating one's clan.

Theft, embezzlement of state treasury taxes and money, and fraud in imperial examinations are both serious/death crimes.

However, these have nothing to do with Song Hao.

Shaking his confused head, he yawned again and again.

Song Hao glanced sideways at Zhao Han and said coldly: "You are a jailer, so don't worry too much. What about the Cui family? They have their own Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment to review, and if things go wrong... there is still the Supervision Department watching. Now, give me Find a place to rest..."

Zhao Han froze and fell silent.

He really forgot about this.Song Ping doesn't need to be on duty and can't leave the imperial prison. At this moment, he naturally has to rest.

What I experienced this day was so exciting.

Song Heng was extremely tired.

It's a big deal, let's wait until she wakes up.

*
The next day.

Song Hao was awakened by a scream.

"Brother Six——"

Zhao Han looked excited and whispered: "Today, the Ministry of Punishment interrogated Qian Qianming, the supervisor who escorted the tax bank to Beijing. This Qian Qianming's identity is unusual..."

Song Hao tilted his head, his face expressionless.

——The surname Qian.

There is no such surname in the Jingcheng clan family.

"What's different about him?" Song Hao adjusted his robes, wiped his face casually, and cleaned himself up.

"Qian Qianming is the silver-medal supervisory guard of the Supervision Department. Someone in the court borrowed his hand, implying that the Supervision Department was suspected of stealing. The route of the tax bank escort is random, and it is decided by Qian Qianming who is responsible for the escort. This batch of taxes The silver was mysteriously missing... People are speculating that either the government officials colluded with local officials, or there is an evil insider." Zhao Han said, glanced at Song Hao, and said: "Today, I order the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and the Supervision Department to all dispatch to supervise each other. , given a deadline, if the lost tax money cannot be found before winter, everyone will die. "

After speaking.

Zhao Han made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Outside the imperial prison, people in Shuntian Mansion were in panic.

The Inspectorate moved.

There was panic inside and outside the court.

Everyone is afraid of being targeted by the surveillance guards. Once someone is targeted, they will have to shed their skin even if they die.

"what--"

In the torture chamber, the thick smell of blood was mixed with brutal roars.

This scene is comparable to the eighteenth level of hell.Song Qi was appointed by Jin Shang to judge the case. At this time, local officials who had already gone to Henan Prefecture to investigate the case of missing tax money were personally there.The internal affairs of the capital were jointly reviewed by the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Supervision Department. It was late autumn, and there were still about twenty days until winter.

crossed.

He was beaten brutally before he even took a breath.

"Calm down, calm down first."

The strong desire to survive made Song Hao quickly calm down and reorganize the information and intelligence in his mind.

[-]. Gauss, a white-faced scholar, knew the female corpse who died on the banks of the Wenchuan River.He sued the imperial master, saying that Cui Xue had falsely identified himself.At the same time, this Cui Xue may be from the Kanyi tribe in northern Xinjiang.

Second, Cui Xue is the seventh prince’s concubine.

This said.

This case of missing tax money in Henan Prefecture must involve the royal family.

I wonder...what role does the Seventh Prince play in this?She was in prison and could not contact the seventh prince.It is difficult to collect more clues. Besides, the relationship between Cui Xue and the seventh prince can only be regarded as supporting evidence at present.

Well now.

We can only wait for news from Cui Mu.

If Cui Xue goes to jail, she will definitely be targeted by the Supervision Department.Previously, Song Zhi hinted that the scholar was unusual, and Cui Mu ordered Zhao Han to take Gauss away.After one night, the Inspectorate should be able to investigate something.

pity.

The clues recorded in the files on the missing tax bank case are too outrageous.

"At [-]:[-] on the second day of July, Qian Qianming was on duty on a boat patrol and discovered that the tax bank had mysteriously disappeared. After a stick of incense, huge rocks rolled down from the cliffs on both sides of the river, causing the Wenchuan River to suddenly rise, and the water flowed through the cabin.

The government officials and supervisory guards in charge of the escort were awakened urgently. After a check, all the tax money transported by the ships disappeared together with the wooden boxes containing the tax money.

At Mao hour, the ship docked.

Government officials and supervisory guards either jumped into the river to look for tax money, or went ashore and climbed the mountains to look for tax money.

However, one million taels of tax money disappeared. "

One million taels of tax silver.

How outrageous it is to disappear into thin air overnight.

The four ships were loaded with tax money and hundreds of people.So many people, no one found the problem.

It’s no wonder that there are folk rumors that strange things are causing trouble.

but.

Gao Si said that Cui Xue used a magic spell.

Use magic to steal tax money.

Song Ping believed that this was pure nonsense. The Kanyi people in northern Xinjiang were good at witchcraft. Witchcraft was the manipulation of poisonous snakes, insects, ants and other poisons for their own use.

This witchcraft method.

It resembles the poison that Song Hiei is familiar with.

but--

It is absolutely impossible to transport away millions of taels of tax money overnight just by relying on the method of witchcraft.There must be other secrets hidden in this.

Imprisonment, torture chamber.

"Chen En, did Qian Qianming give an explanation?" Li Daoquan, the Minister of Punishment, pressed with his mouth and nose covered.

Chen En, the warden of the imperial edict.

The leader of the prison torture and interrogation was cruel and bloody.

This man... was short and scrawny.If you walk on the street, no one will look twice.He glanced at the messy torture instruments on the wooden table in the torture room, frowned, and slowly put down the torture tools in his hands, took a clean towel, and slowly wiped the blood on his hands.

After everything was sorted out, he relaxed his brows.

"Returning to Mr. Shilang, Qian Qianming insists that he was unjustly accused. He does not know how the tax money was lost, and he did not collude with outsiders to steal the tax money. And... the same is true with the testimonies of other government officials and supervisory guards."

Chen En is extremely conceited about his craft.

He interrogated Qian Qianming three times, with the same result each time.

Chen En ignored Li Daoquan's anger and insisted: "Your Excellency, maybe... you should let me ask other people." The implication was that Qian Qianming couldn't get any more clues if he asked these people.

Shilang Li rolled his eyes regardless of his identity.

He is not blind and understands what cannot be done.However, he is now in a hurry, and if he can no longer find the lost tax money, he, the Minister of Punishment, will also suffer.In recent years, there have been successive famines in various parts of the Zhou Dynasty, and the treasury has been empty.

One million taels of tax silver! ! !
Henan Prefecture, one year's tax.

At the same time, it is also a reserve fund to relieve the snow disaster in Wufu this year.

It is also related to the wealth and lives of thousands of disaster victims.

he--

How can we not be anxious? !
