Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 152 The treasure banknote case!
"what?"

Hu Weiyong exclaimed and stood up suddenly, his eyes filled with cold light.

"Where? What day? How did you die?"

His voice was urgent and surprising. In the entire Ming Dynasty, this was the first time that he wanted to find someone and was interrupted by sudden "death".

This made him smell a conspiracy.

It's both familiar and strange. What's familiar is that shouldn't it be you who usually does this kind of thing?

But now, he has become the "defensive" one.

Li You hurriedly said: "Just six days ago, our people rushed to Shaanzhou, but Jin Jinglun had already left for Shanxi. It was said that on the way, the carriage he was riding encountered banditry, and he and his people were killed. There were also two servants and a book boy who died tragically!"

"Where is the corpse? If you are alive, you want to see people, and if you are dead, you want to see the corpse!" Hu Weiyong shouted angrily.

"There were four corpses in total. Those people destroyed the corpses and destroyed all traces. None of the four corpses survived. They were all burned beyond recognition by the fire. However, some of the jade objects they brought proved that they were Jin Jinglun."

"call!"

But as long as you do what they say, you will definitely achieve it.

However, I have to admit that maybe when he was an official, especially after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, everything was changing. As long as he entered the officialdom, he might find a chance to soar into the sky.

Li You seemed to remember something and said hurriedly: "But combined with the last time, when he rushed into Chaojingyuan and rushed back during the curfew, I'm afraid the incident still happened in Chaojingyuan!"

And in the officialdom, how is it possible to only serve as the fifth-grade envoy of Chaojing Academy?

Su Guiyuan came from the backyard. It could be seen that he seemed to have just woken up. He was groggy and rubbed his eyes.

"And what matters to their life and death is the treasure money. Li You of the Mint Department..."

However, it should be a good thing, right?
When it comes to hanging around in the officialdom, Zhu Yuanzhang has told himself before that with his father's behavior, he can only hang out in the new yamen of Chaojingyuan. Want to go out and go to the Sixth Department of the Chaotang?
I'm afraid that within a month, no bones will be left.

Looking at the way Li You looked at him, he said, "There must be something big going on here! And it's a matter of life and death, and maybe even a matter of life and death for the whole family!"

Instead, it seemed that the city was getting a little bit...

But thinking about the struggle and entanglement in the other party's heart during these days, he was not surprised.

Hu Weiyong was silent at first, and then he breathed out gently, "Flying geese all day long, and even letting the geese peck their eyes. It seems that the truth is really blinding. I didn't expect that the inspector who was working in Zhaomo said he was conscientious, and So capable?"

As they talked, the best possible fact seemed to be placed in front of them.

Su Guiyuan had been drunk all night. For Su Xian, this was the first time he had seen him in so many years.

"possible!"

Five years of school inspection career may have worn away his energy, but his family responsibilities have also given him a little more composure.

"Hmph! I'm afraid he was arrested by mistake during the Kongyin case?"

When Li You heard this, although he had already made a guess in his mind, he couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Is it really Su Guiyuan?"

And these people, when talking to Su Xian, vaguely felt that the high-spirited enthusiasm of the young people was bound to change the world in the future, giving the entire Ming Dynasty a new look. In their eyes, it was not even a dream.

Hu Weiyong gave the order almost instantly, "Go and check!"

Hu Weiyong looked gloomy at first, then laughed, "But in this case, one thing is certain about the truth."

But vaguely, Su Xian noticed some changes in his father.

At this moment, Su Xian is sitting under the pavilion. The new house is very large, with a three-entry courtyard, and rock gardens in the backyard and middle courtyard. Although it does not look as elegant and heroic as other rich families, it is indeed the place where Su Xian has lived in the past few years. The best yet.

After all, in his impression, his father had always been stable in the nursing home, and he had the most common image of a good old man. Even if others asked him to do more extra work, he could not refuse. .

This strange and impulsive, naive but ignorant youthful spirit was exactly what Su Guiyuan once had.

It seems that the originally upright idea that as long as he climbed up, he could save the family, has changed again.

During this period, students who had read Confucian classics from childhood to adulthood had experienced the wars at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and had seen the restoration of Han rule during the Ming Dynasty. If they said in their hearts that Hengqu Four Sentences was not their great ambition, no one would believe it.

In order to protect yourself, frame an innocent person who may know something, but may not!
In the past, maybe even beating him to death wouldn't be possible.
But just yesterday, he did it.

The next day.

At least Su Xian himself felt deeply that the students who entered the Gewu Academy at the beginning were, to put it bluntly, not going well in the serious road, so they wanted to enter the Gewu Academy to see if they could catch up with the emperor's grandson. Even in the future, I have been ups and downs for more than ten or twenty years just to fight for that possibility.

Su Xian turned around and saw that the latter's eyes were bloodshot and black. It looked like he had not slept well even after drinking last night.

"In addition, Wu Zuo has also confirmed that he is seven feet and a half tall, 32 years old, and has scars on his left arm. He also carries the iron plate of Chao Jingyuan. At that time, they were the only ones passing that road, so there is no doubt."

"Idiot!" Hu Weiyong cursed secretly, but Li You quickly apologized and said with a smile. He said this deliberately just now to calm down the prime minister. At this moment, he also said seriously: "That's right. The father and son are innocent. Let's talk about the coinage involved in this matter. Li You of the Division is definitely not a rebel..."

As soon as these words came out, Li You subconsciously said: "It involves the lives of the whole family? Could it be a rebellion?"

"Xian'er."

Ugh!
Su Xian sighed in his heart, it's over, what happened this time really gave him a huge temper.

From beginning to end, the whole person was similar to the kind of working parents Su Xian saw in later generations who were running around for the family, just trying to maintain their meager salary.

But fundamentally speaking, he still doesn’t want to enter the conspiracy ecosystem that he considers to be “dark, wet, and dirty.”

……

At this moment, Li You could no longer control himself and felt like he had discovered a big secret!
"Prime Minister, could it be that he used the printing plate to do other things? Or stole the printing plate?"

"Who else could he be?"

Just when I was thinking about this.

"Dad, you didn't say much last night, did you?"

"no!"

"That's fine!" Su Guiyuan nodded. In the past, he would have told Su Xian a lot of what was in his heart at this time, and then the father and son would start planning.

But now, he just nodded, then looked to the side, "Alu, take out my official uniform."

Su Xian was obviously a little surprised.

As for Alu, one of the servants who entered the mansion during this period was literate, so his father asked him to take care of some office needs.

"Yes!"

He agreed and quickly brought the official uniform. Su Guiyuan took it and put it on directly. The originally thin back suddenly became a little stalwart.

"Recently, except for the main hall and the Gokuyuan, you have been at home. My father went out first."

As he spoke, Su Guiyuan stopped staying and looked out the door with long strides.

When Su Xian saw this, he couldn't help but sigh maturely.

It’s over.

This time the cheating seems to be a bit serious.

"Xian'er..." At this moment, Wu Xiu, who had been watching from behind, also hurried over, "Is your dad okay? He came back last night and scared me. Your dad has never been like this..."

"It's okay!" Su Xian said decisively, "Don't worry."

It seems that my mother is still worried.

Su Xian patted his chest and said briskly: "As long as I'm here, it'll be okay if something happens."

……

Su Guiyuan returned to Chaojingyuan.

Everything is business as usual. After five days like this, everyone in Chaojingyuan heard a shocking news.

The ambassador of the Mint Department, Jin Jinglun, encountered bandits on his way from Shaanxi to Shanxi and was unfortunately killed!

For a time, people in the entire Chaojing Academy were uneasy. Nowadays, Baochao's status in the Ming Dynasty is getting more and more important, but other places are subject to the supervision and various tasks of the Chaojing Academy.

So they each have a chance to get out.

The current Ming Dynasty is said to be eleven years old, but bandit uprisings in various places are still in chaos. Those close to the capital and the south are okay, but the further you go to the west, north, and southwest, the more difficult and difficult it is. If you don't pay attention, you may be in danger of life or death!
As the envoy of the Academy, Su Guiyuan immediately expressed his stance after hearing the news:
Mint Director Jin Jinglun was killed on duty. His widow's pension should be ten times the amount he had set. He would also ask for instructions from his superiors. If his eldest son was smart and literate, he would be transferred to the mint immediately after he attained the crown in a few years. manage!
This move greatly comforted people's hearts. For a time, everyone in Chaojing Academy trusted the first envoy more and more.

Su Guiyuan watched all this silently without saying a word.

……

In the capital, in a quiet and elegant courtyard.

"Jin Jinglun is dead?"

The old voice sounded slowly, and soon there was a hint of smile.

"Mr. Yang, we have been ready for a long time. Can we finally start?"

Around it, a group of people had been waiting impatiently. Once upon a time, they thought it would start soon.

However, Mr. Yang was so calm and frightening. Day by day, month by month, he asked me whether he should wait, wait for another chance.

And just when they were waiting in despair, they finally heard the call.

"Don't worry, everyone, what we do is not what ordinary people do..."

"If I had asked you to start early, you would have been with our colleagues long ago, and you might have been reborn by now."

As soon as these words came out, everyone did not dare to laugh, but just nodded in agreement.

Following its safety, this is the reason why it can attract so many people!

"With those treasures in the capital, what can we expect from ordinary people? Looking at the long term, what we want to make is the huge wealth from this corrupt businessman, this government, and even this world!"

The old man said, seeing everyone's increasingly anxious eyes that could not be concealed.

He immediately smiled and said: "Can this thing be used? Is it real or fake? Yan Xin, now is the time to test it."

As he said that, he looked at the bald old man and said, "Go give Hu Xiang a gift!"

Yan Xin was stunned and nodded immediately, "Yes!"

……

"Hu Xiang! Hu Xiang!"

The next day!

As soon as Song Shen entered Zhongshu Province, he hurriedly knocked on Hu Weiyong's door.

Li You heard his noise and couldn't help shouting: "How can you be so frizzy? The Prime Minister just came back from the previous court and is taking a rest."

"It's my fault because of my humble position, but...this matter is important. I must see Mr. Hu."

Song Shen was extremely anxious, holding a letter in both hands.

Ok?
It was the first time for Li You to see the other party like this. You must know that because of Song Lian's incident, there was a vague barrier between the other party and them. He should have been the most trusted person in Zhongshu Sheren by Hu Xiang.

But it wasn't reused at all.

"Bring it to me and see..."

Li You couldn't think about anything else and immediately reached out to take it.

However, he just took it out and took a look at it. Immediately, he couldn't bear it any longer, and a pair of eyes burst out with surprise.

"Ha! Are you getting a pillow just before you doze off? The Prime Minister has already prepared it."

As he spoke, he hurriedly ran into the door.

Ignoring that Hu Weiyong was still lying on the recliner, he said anxiously: "Prime Minister, look... what is this?"

Hu Weiyong had just been awakened by the noise outside. He was just pretending at this time. Seeing that the other party was so eager, he couldn't help but sit up.

However, when his eyes rested on the objects held in his hands, he first felt doubtful...

"New banknotes?"

"Look again, Prime Minister, there is another secret letter here."

Hu Weiyong subconsciously took it, glanced at it, and laughed.

Then he said with anger on his face: "How brave!"

"This is outrageous. The denunciation letter has come out? Who sent it?"

"Song Shen?"

"Let him in..."

Song Shen hurried in, and before Hu Weiyong could ask, he hurriedly said: "As soon as I opened the door today, I saw this letter at my feet. What it said in it was: This new banknote is fake."

"It was also said that someone in Chaojingyuan was using his power for personal gain and stealing the important national treasure, the new banknote printing plate! When my subordinates saw this, they could no longer bear it and hurriedly sent it to the prime minister."

"Prime Minister." He said, his voice getting smaller and smaller, but the thrilling words in his words made people even more heart-stopping.

"Stealing printing plates is a serious crime! If it is lost to others, it will inevitably cause an irreparable mistake!"

"The new banknotes are now related to the livelihood of the country, the people, military affairs, and even 60 million people in the world. This is the credibility of our Ming Dynasty."

"If something goes wrong..."

"According to His Majesty's temperament, if there is any doubt, it will be a capital crime!"

"Hahaha!"

Hu Weiyong laughed loudly, "Do you even need to say this?"

Li You was overjoyed. Because of Su Xian, Su Guiyuan, the envoy of Chaojing Academy, was annoying but could do nothing about it in a short time.

Now is the opportunity.

"I will go to Dali Temple immediately, go to the Ministry of Punishment, and ask them to lead people. I will search Chaojingyuan immediately, seize Su Guiyuan, and execute him immediately!"

Hu Weiyong was about to nod, but then he thought of something.

Suddenly the voice was cold, "Wait a minute, before that..."

"Let's just let this matter become a weapon in the hands of the Prime Minister and cleanse everything in the recent past!"

"The Chao Jing Yuan and the Gwu Yuan were all demolished by the truth!"

He suddenly looked at Song Shen and said, "There is a Gewu Express in Gewu Yuan. You guys, please quickly set up a so-called Express and let everyone in the capital know. The bigger the fuss, the better!"

"Hmph! Those idiots like Zhang Guance underestimated Su Xian of the main hall before... Today I am taking advantage of this opportunity to give you a chance and retaliate in kind."

"You go to the officialdom, set off immediately, seal Chao Jingyuan, and ask the people from the Chao Chao Department to leave immediately!"

"You go to the people and stir up a big trend. The truth is that I have long wanted to clean up the officialdom. I just happened to take this opportunity to catch them all!"

"As for the truth, let's go to the Holy One!"
