Chapter 986
Li Shimin looked in the direction of Wang Yu, then withdrew his gaze and wanted to speak for Wang Yu.
But Li Yuan spoke first before him.
"Jinyang, did you really hand over these accounts to Shangshu Xiao personally?"
Hearing Li Yuan’s question, Wang Yu stood up: “Reply to my father’s words, these accounts were indeed handed over to Xiao Shangshu in person.”
"Where did you get it?" Li Yuan asked again.
Wang Yu paused: "When I returned home yesterday, someone threw these accounts into my carriage. I sent someone to chase him, but I didn't chase him."
Pei Ji sneered in his heart. It was obvious that these accounts were stolen from his mansion. This stinky girl dared to deceive the emperor in public, which was really bold.
However, he had no evidence and could not expose her, otherwise he would definitely make her look good.
Li Yuan stared at Wang Yu's face and continued to ask: "Who asked you to investigate private coins?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin and Xiao Yu became nervous at the same time.
Wang Yu's face remained unchanged, his eyes remained unchanged: "It was me. I saw the coin account that day and found something wrong, so I checked it, but I didn't expect to find out that Pei Pushe had minted coins privately.
"Later, someone secretly handed over these accounts to me, so I naturally couldn't ignore them, so I handed over these accounts to Shangshu Xiao."
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin and Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Li Yuan thought for a moment: "In other words, you are the one who investigates the whole thing, and the others are not interfering?"
Li Shimin and Xiao Yu's hearts were hung again.
"Yes." Wang Yu's voice was very firm.
Li Yuan continued to interrogate: "It was you who told Xiao Shangshu that Pei Pushe privately minted coins to support the deposed prince's army and supported the deposed prince's rebellion?"
"yes."
After interrogating this, Li Yuan's tone suddenly became cold: "What evidence do you have?"
Wang Yu did not think: "From the account book, Pei Pushe's privately minted coins are far more than those found, and those coins are more than enough to support an army.
"I have checked the annual expenses of the Duke of Wei's Mansion, including the money used in the two outdoor rooms of the Duke of Wei, which is less than one or two in the account book.
"Besides, Pei Pushe used to have close contact with the deposed prince and often gave gifts to the deposed prince. Therefore, I guess that the remaining money in the account book was given to the deposed prince by Pei Pushe."
Pei Ji blushed and pointed at Wang Yu and cursed: "Nothing is said, I have never given money to the deposed prince. You are accusing him."
After scolding, Pei Ji suddenly realized that Wang Yu had no evidence at all, so he calmed down.
"Your Majesty, all of this is the speculation of Princess Jinyang, and she has no evidence at all.
"I am wrong, but I am just confused for a moment and have no intention of rebellion. I am willing to accept any punishment, but I will never admit what I have not done before.
"Those books are not mine, they were forged by Princess Jinyang. Please punish Princess Jinyang for false accusation of the ministers."
Li Yuan's eyes fell on Pei Ji, but he didn't say anything.
At this time, Li Shimin said: "Father, I believe Jinyang will never forge the account book. She is not such a person."
Xiao Yu, Tang Jian and others also agreed: "Your Majesty, Princess Jinyang will never forge the account book."
Pei Ji was very panicked when so many people spoke for Wang Yu, but now he had no way out. Either he pulled Wang Yu down or Wang Yu sent him to prison.
So Pei Ji solemnly said to Li Yuan in front of everyone: "Your Majesty, I swear that I have absolutely no army to support the deposed crown prince and support the deposed crown prince's rebellion.
"If there is a lie, I will not die well."
Li Yuan glanced at him deeply, then looked at Wang Yu: "Jinyang, you are familiar with Wudelu, and you should know what kind of punishment you should be punished for falsely accusing a minister.
"I'll give you a chance. Do you still think Pei Pushe once offered the deposed prince's army?"
Li Shimin's eyes changed slightly. If he only minted coins privately, his father's favor for Pei Ji would definitely be a small punishment and a big warning, and he would not be able to touch Pei Ji's roots at all.
But if the army that supported the deposed prince and supported the deposed prince's crime of rebellion, Pei Ji would undoubtedly die.
However, he knew very well that Wang Yu had no evidence now.
Just when Li Shimin thought Wang Yu was going to change his words, Wang Yu said firmly: "I believe that Pei Pushe not only used private coins for daily expenses, but also used them to support the deposed prince's army and support the deposed prince's rebellion."
Li Shimin's mouth curled slightly and immediately let it go, feeling both happy and worried.
The little girl is indeed a good person, but she has no evidence, so how should she deal with it?
At this time, Li Shimin was thinking about countermeasures to help Wang Yu.
Li Yuan's face looked very ugly, and he endured his anger: "Since you think so, do you have evidence?"
"No." Wang Yu blurted out.
Upon hearing this, Pei Ji laughed silently.
The next moment, Wang Yu said again: "Your Majesty, please give me three days. Within three days, I will find out the truth and give you an explanation."
Li Yuan was angry when he met Wang Yu's firm and confident eyes.
He was silent for a moment, and then he spit out a word: "Accurate."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
A trace of contempt flashed in Pei Ji's eyes. He wanted to defeat him in three days. He was so arrogant.
Next, Li Yuan proclaimed: "Pei Ji, the left servant of the Shangshu Province, privately minted coins, violated the law, so he was first injected into the Dali Temple prison and waited for disposal."
"Retreat the court."
"Give me a greeting to Your Majesty."
After Li Yuan left, Li Shimin called Wang Yu.
"Second brother." Wang Yu was very respectful.
Li Shimin originally wanted to tell her about Pei Ji's case, but when the ministers around him were listening with their ears, he said, "Follow me to the East Palace."
However, as soon as they walked out of Tai Chi Hall, Ding Zhi came over: "Princess Jinyang, Your Majesty will let you go."
Wang Yu turned sideways, said something to Li Shimin in a low voice, and then followed Ding Zhi to Qianqiu Palace.
“Aye~”
As usual, as soon as Wang Yu entered the hall, he shouted sweetly at Li Yuan.
But what greeted her today was not Li Yuan's smiling face, but a majestic and gloomy face.
Wang Yu immediately put away his smile and saluted respectfully: "I pay homage to Your Majesty."
Li Yuan did not ask her to get up, but asked directly: "You find that there is something wrong with the coin account, why don't you report it to me first?"
"If I report to you, you will definitely not believe it, so I want to investigate first and find evidence before reporting to you."
Li Yuan mercilessly exposed her: "You have obtained evidence later and did not report it to me."
“…”
Wang Yu lowered his eyes and touched the tiger's mouth: "I am the Minister of Revenue. When I found the evidence, I would report it to the Minister of Revenue. If I report it directly to you, it would be a report that exceeds the level, and the Minister of Revenue will hold a grudge against me.
"I will be promoted in the future and cannot offend Shangguan."
"You..." Li Yuan was so angry that his face turned pale: "What a man who can't offend Shangguan. In just a short time, you have learned the rules in the officialdom, but you are smart."
Wang Yu raised his head proudly: "Of course, I don't look at whose daughter I am."
“…”
Li Yuan stretched out his face: "You are afraid of offending Shangguan, aren't you just afraid of me as your official?"
