Chapter 369 The Ledger Is False

Ji Fushou and Chi Qiguang soon learned about Xu Wenbin's behavior in the court. They looked at each other, and Chi Qiguang said, "The old fox is indeed an old fox. If you are accused, you can still lower Qi in this way." Emperor Cheng's anger was cleverly used to retreat as an advance.

If the guess is correct, when the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice and the Minister of Dali Temple go to Wuyang Mansion for a thorough investigation, the Xu family will definitely push a person in charge to confess all the crimes, and then insist that Xu Wenbin was not informed of the matter. Wen Bin didn't touch the copper mine, at most it was because of his lack of education, because he took off his official hat on his own initiative, and if someone helped him make peace in front of Emperor Qi Cheng, it is very likely that both Xu Wenbin and the Xu family can save their lives .

Just why did Xu Wenbin do this?It's a good way to use retreat as an advance, but those account books can't be faked. As long as the account book is thoroughly checked and cleared by the account book, it doesn't matter if the eldest prince and Lu Guogong are separated. Xu Wenbin is the only one who can speak for the Duke of the state.

In this way, it shows that Xu Wenbin is lying when he said that he did not know about this matter. It is already a capital offense to dig copper mines privately, and it is even more sinful to deceive the emperor. In the end, Xu Wenbin will definitely bear the thunder of Emperor Qi Cheng anger.

A person who can respond with such agility doesn't look like he is looking for a dead end. "

Chi Qiguang frowned slightly, puzzled.

Ji Fushou was also pondering. Her opinion was the same as Chi Qiguang's. As the person who planned this matter, Ji Fushou knew very well that Xu Wenbin was not clean. There is no other benefit, but Xu Wenbin just did it, why?
"To convict Xu Wenbin, the eldest prince and others, what is the evidence?" Ji Fushou asked suddenly.

Chi Qiguang then replied, "The account book."

"The third prince asked Xu Wenbin to play Xu Wenbin. The purpose was to involve the eldest prince and Lu Guogong through the account book, but Xu Wenbin refused to admit it. After Lu Guogong learned that the account book was stolen, he only met the eldest prince and Xu Wenbin once. , other than that, there is no other movement, and there is not much response to the stolen account book, and the eldest prince is actually safe and sound, and there is no panic, why is that?"

Ji Fushou squinted his eyes, "Unless the First Prince and Lu Guogong know that the ledger is not enough to convict them."

Chi Qiguang made it clear at one point, and his tone was rarely hesitant, "You mean, there is a problem with the account book?"

Ji Fushou shook his head slightly, "I'm not sure yet, but the behavior of these three people is really puzzling. Duke Lu and the First Prince don't look worried."

Chi Qiguang pondered for a moment, and then said, "Do you still remember the smuggling incident in Ningbo Mansion last time? In order to win over his father, Wang Yu and the others made a deal with him. There is a person from the household department is the father's man.

Just because they knew that the person belonged to the father, if the Ministry of Accounts hadn't avoided that person, they could have found a way to secretly steal a copy of the account book for us to see.I summoned him to ask first if he was involved in the settlement of the books. "

Five or six days later, Chi Qiguang took an account book and handed it to Ji Fushou, "They didn't know that we were behind this, and they didn't avoid him. He secretly brought out an account book, and it was only an hour. , I will take the ledger back an hour later, so as not to be discovered."

Ji Fushou took the account book, and Chi Qiguang thoughtfully handed over the abacus and put it in her hand. Ji Fushou gave him a sideways glance, but didn't say much.

After a cup of tea, Ji Fushou stopped with a slightly ugly expression.

Chi Qiguang heard the sound of the abacus stop, put down the paintbrush in his hand, raised his head and asked, "The calculation is over? Why is your face so bad?"

Ji Fushou looked at the account book in his hand, and said in a cold voice, "I've been tricked. In this account book, only the Xu family keeps accounts."

Chi Qiguang walked up to her, picked up the ledger and looked through it, with a dignified look on his face, "You mean, this ledger is fake?"

Ji Fushou nodded resolutely, "It's false. Didn't you say that Wang Jian did have the account book of the first prince's copper mine income in his hands? That proves that the first prince really participated in it, but in this account book, except for the Xu family , there is no division of spoils between the First Prince and Duke Lu."

Chi Qiguang suddenly realized, "No wonder the account book is gone. The First Prince and Lu Guogong are not in a hurry at all. It turns out that the account book is fake and they cannot be involved."

But then he was puzzled, "But why, you have to know that the account book was found by Nighthawk in advance."

He trusts Nighthawk's concealment and detection skills very much, and he doesn't believe that Nighthawk will miss. If the people at the copper mine knew that Nighthawk was spying on the ledgers in advance, they wouldn't have waited until Nighthawk came to steal them, because there are Xu Xu in these ledgers. For the family's bookkeeping, the Xu family has no reason to be so stupid as to put themselves in it with their own hands.

Ji Fushou frowned, pondering, "Is it possible that the account book in the copper mine is fake? No, it cannot be said to be fake. After all, the account book is indeed kept by the Xu family. It should be said, They have two sets of ledgers!"

Ji Fushou suddenly became enlightened, and felt more and more that his guess was right, "I said that with Lu Guogong's sophistication, how could he let the Xu family handle the matter? In public hands, that makes sense.

Lu Guogong personally held the ledger of the stolen goods. Even if the copper mine was discovered and reported, the ledger of the copper mine could only identify the Xu family, so when Lu Guogong learned that the copper mine ledger had been stolen, he met Xu Wenbin. In order to discuss countermeasures, they persuaded Xu Wenbin to admit it.

Seeing that Duke Lu is as immovable as a mountain, Xu Wenbin must have agreed, and the two of them must have made a deal, otherwise Xu Wenbin would not be willing to accept this crime.

The reason why Xu Wenbin retreated was because he also knew that there were only the Xu family's accounts in the account book, and there were no Lu Guogong and the eldest prince, so he could get rid of the lie by saying that he was deceived by the family's children. "

Chi Qiguang frowned, and nodded in agreement, "This will be difficult, without involving the eldest prince and Duke Lu, and losing this opportunity, it will be very difficult to bring down Duke Lu again." gone."

The two looked at each other, their brows furrowed deeply. If they went to such lengths just to bring down Xu Wenbin, it wouldn't be worth it. Even Chi Qiguang's original intention of sending this copper mine to the First Prince would be meaningless.

Chi Qiguang lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, then raised his head abruptly, "No, even if the first prince and Lu Guogong were not involved in these accounts, there is still a big mistake that can make them deserve what they deserve."

Chi Qiguang said word by word, "After the copper mine is mined, the mother money used to cast copper coins!"
