Chapter 657
What Yan Beirong meant was that if Mr. Liu did this, he shouldn't have said it. Wouldn't it be more serious after he left?At that time, the emperor's punishment will definitely be heavier. From this point of view, Yun Changqing is indeed at a loss.

Yan Beiqin didn't stand up and say anything. As the full authority investigator of this incident, he had to listen to all possibilities and think carefully, otherwise, in the eyes of the emperor, he would more or less favor the Yun family.

The emperor subconsciously glanced at Yan Beiqin, seeing that he didn't say anything, and looked like he was thinking, he nodded slightly in satisfaction.

Seeing this, Yan Beirong's mouth twitched. He wanted to see how long this selfless prince could endure.

"Father, if Master Liu really did this thing, how could he take the initiative to report the crime, otherwise wouldn't he have thrown himself into the trap?" The implication is that the most suspicious person is Yun Changqing.

All the ministers nodded, and seemed to agree with what Yan Beirong said. Yun Changqing didn't say a single word of defense for himself. After learning that the 10 taels of silver was missing and that Liu Weixiang found it himself, he expected to be the target of public criticism. Already prepared.

Yan Beiqin couldn't bear it. Yun Changqing was obviously a good official for the country and the people, but he was misunderstood as a treacherous villain. He not only searched for disaster relief funds, but also used it to frame his colleagues. How heinous and heinous! !
Just when no one said anything, the prime minister said, "Your Majesty, I am a little puzzled by His Royal Highness King De's remarks."

"Oh? Cheng, please tell me."

"As His Highness De Wang said, if neither of them lacks the 10 taels of silver, it is not impossible for anyone not to mind the extra 10 taels of silver. ?According to His Highness King De’s theory, then we don’t need to do business with the first richest Shan family in Dayan, after all, their family’s money is too much for several lifetimes.”

The prime minister's words made the officials nod for a while, most of them frowned, and fell into a dilemma.

Before he finished speaking, when Yan Beirong wanted to refute him, the prime minister said again: "His Royal Highness De Wang said that it is possible that one party wanted to frame the other, so the person who was framed must not know. The situation is like Ping Qinghou is average, but how will the person who wants to frame the other party let others know that he arranged this round?"

Everyone suddenly realized that they were all staring at Liu Weixiang as before. If he didn't report the case, how could everyone know that the 10 taels of silver was gone, and Yun Changqing, who didn't know it, was said to be a thief For those who want to hide the silver, such a strategy of killing two birds with one stone is indeed what Mr. Liu is good at.

They are all people who have been officials in the court for many years, and everyone has some understanding of Liu Weixiang's personality. In comparison, Liu Weixiang is indeed a person who is more capable of doing these things.

Yan Beirong narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Father, my son thinks that the Prime Minister's point of view cannot be established at all."

"Why?"

"Returning to the emperor's words, the prince said before that Master Liu and Ping Qinghou handed over the replacement shift to take care of the disaster relief funds. The two of them will check every day to ensure that nothing goes wrong, so if something goes wrong, one of them will definitely find out. It may be one of the tricks."

The emperor frowned, but he had to admit that there was such a possibility, and looked down at Yan Beiqin: "Prince, you are in charge of this matter, what do you think?"

Yan Beiqin frowned, he knew that his father was forcing him to make a decision, and this decision would definitely make the Yun family feel wronged, let alone the Crown Princess who was extremely concerned about the safety of the Yun family.

He clenched his hands tightly, and he clenched and loosened them many times. Finally, he took a deep breath and parted his thin lips lightly: "Father, my son thought that Master Liu and Ping Qinghou were jointly responsible for the disaster relief funds. Since something went wrong, naturally Both of them are suspected, and there is no reason to say which side is more innocent. Given the identities of the two, and one of them must be an innocent victim, Erchen suggested that the two be imprisoned in their own mansion, and the guards Take care of them, and they are not allowed to go out or see guests until the case is clarified."

The emperor nodded his head: "The prince is very thoughtful, and I will rest assured that this matter will be handled by the prince."

Yan Beirong snorted and said, "Father, my son thinks something is wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"The commander of the imperial guards is Yun Shaoluo, the second son of the Yun family. If people from the imperial guards are to supervise the two of them, it will inevitably be suspicious."

The emperor narrowed his eyes: "Prince, what do you think?"

Yan Beiqin was not humble, and replied coldly: "Father, the commander of the imperial guards is Yun Shaoluo, yes, but the imperial guards are my imperial guards, and they are the imperial father's Zhili personal guards. , why in King De's mouth, my son mistakenly thought that the imperial guards belonged to the Yun family?"

When the emperor heard this, he was furious: "Presumptuous, how can the prince talk nonsense!"

"Father, calm down."

The emperor seemed to be angry with Yan Beiqin, but in fact he was dissatisfied with Yan Beirong. As soon as the word pacify the anger fell, the emperor said in a deep voice: "I am very relieved that the two of you will be taken care of by the imperial guards. Do you love me? idea?"

"Your Majesty is wise."

The emperor has said so, who dares to have other thoughts about the imperial guards, isn't this intentional to make the emperor feel unhappy, after all, in this round, the prince is slightly better.

In fact, all the people present were smart people. Even if they couldn't understand it at first, who couldn't see that the matter had developed to this point? It is very clear in his heart, and his current attitude is to tell everyone that King De is King De, but the prince!After all, he is a prince!
Yun Changqing and Liu Weixiang looked at each other, and the expressions in their eyes were unpredictable.

Yun Changqing took a look like this on purpose. After seeing it, he felt a little flustered for no reason. He knew in his heart whether he had done this thing. Since he didn't do it, it must have been done by another person, but Liu Weixiang's eyes looked Going up clearly meant waiting to watch the show, if he hadn't arranged it properly, he wouldn't be so confident.

Both Yun Changqing and Liu Weixiang were taken away by the imperial guards guarding outside the main hall. During this period, the two of them could not talk to anyone. Naturally, Yun Changqing could not give Yan Beiqin useful information and warnings.

Standing outside the main hall, Yan Beiqin watched the two being taken away, feeling more or less uncomfortable. He knew that Yun Changqing was innocent, but there was not enough evidence to prove it, which made him feel very guilty.

Everyone had almost left, Yan Beiqin was still standing outside, De'an came up from behind, bowed to him and said, "Your Highness, the Emperor invites you to discuss matters in the Imperial Study."
