"Oh? Do you mean to let Cai Wen go?" Zhu Yuanzhang's face changed, his sharp eyes were like the blade of a knife, and Li Shanren did not dare to look at him.

"No, I just think that Cai Wen is too innocent. A small punishment is enough, but a big prison sentence is too much!" Li Shanren said: "In recent years, disasters have happened one after another, the national treasury is empty, and every penny spent by Cai Wen can be documented.

There is no possibility of corruption in writing!

Your Majesty, please take a closer look!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and threw the account book in front of Li Shanren, "Then tell us what this is!"

Li Shanren picked up the account book, a trace of horror flashed in his eyes, "This, this...where does this account book come from?"

"Don't worry about where it comes from. We have people check the books. It turns out that over the years of building the Yingtian City Wall, the money has not been reconciled every year. Take a look for yourself. The amount is as high as tens of thousands taels.

Cai Wen is not greedy for money. Could it be that we are greedy for money?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's suppressed anger echoed in Fengtian Hall.

Li Shanren's forehead suddenly broke out with beads of sweat. Who gave this account book to the emperor?

"Let's ask ourselves, I'm not treating you too kindly. A few years ago, you said your salary was too low, and I gave you two salary increases. But what did we get in the end?" What Zhu Yuanzhang hates most is corrupt officials, who are skinned and stuffed.

If you don't have a hundred, you might as well be eighty.

But I still can't control these idiots!

"Your Majesty, there must be something wrong with this account book. I will give you an answer within three days."

"Master Bai, you are the right prime minister and our most capable helper. You were before and you are now!" Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You also know our temper best, and you can't get rid of it in your eyes.

It’s given to you, you can use it however you want.

It's not yours, whoever dares to touch it will die!

If we don’t get a satisfactory answer within three days, don’t blame us!”

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will retire first!"

Li Shanren exited Fengtian Hall, his whole body soaked in cold sweat.

He held the account book.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang took out the account books, there must be more account books.

Who settled this account?

He thought of Hu Guoyong.

It must be him.

He hadn't made many moves in the past few days, and he thought Hu Guoyong had run out of skills.

Unexpectedly, he is waiting for him here!

Hu Guoyong and he were colleagues and even from the same hometown. They were officials in the same dynasty and he was the right prime minister. Logically speaking, they should be of the same mind.

But a few years ago, after he and Hu Guoyong fought away Wang Dayang, Hu Guoyong changed.

Originally, she wanted to marry Hu Guoyong, but later she dropped the idea.

Only then did Li Shanren realize that he had been tricked by Hu Guoyong and became a political enemy.

Now Hu Guoyong has the handle. If there is no suitable explanation for these silver coins, he, the leader of hundreds of officials, will bear the blame!

Li Shanren, who was anxious in his heart, returned to his home without thinking about food or tea.

Seeing this, the eldest son Li Qi said: "An interesting thing happened in the capital today, which aroused heated discussion in the whole city!"

Others looked over one after another, and before Li Qi could finish speaking, his wife Zhu Jingyan, Princess of Lin'an, said: "You are going to talk about Lao Liu again. Lao Liu is crazy, which is pitiful enough. You, the brother-in-law,

Just stop laughing at him!"

Li Qi smiled awkwardly, and Li Shanren frowned, "Did King Wu do something bad again?"

Zhu Jingyan smiled awkwardly and said quickly: "It's not a bad thing, it's just..."

She told the story again, "Dad, I just spent some money and didn't do anything harmful to the world. This time, don't impeach him again!"

Zhu Jingyan felt very sorry for Zhu Jun. Although she had little contact with him, the child was still quite well-behaved and obedient when he was a child.

"Hasn't he already sold out everything in Prince Wu's Mansion? Where did he get so much money?" Li Shanren narrowed his eyes, "Are you sure there are tens of thousands of taels?"

"Yes, it is said that King Wu's personal eunuch used a donkey cart to pull gold and silver through the market, at least twenty to thirty thousand taels!" Li Qidao: "The prince is not like the prince, he is prodigal and crazy. If this continues, what will happen?

Awesome!"

boom!

Li Shanren slammed the table and stood up.

Li Qi was startled, and he quickly said: "Dad, children shouldn't criticize His Highness the King of Wu!"

"It has nothing to do with you. I have eaten enough. Your Highness, I will leave now!"

Li Shanren left quickly, leaving everyone looking at each other.

Back in the study, Li Shanren fell into deep thought.

Zhu Jun had already failed in this year's annual payment. He had been impeached several times for selling furniture and maids.

He also proposed to the emperor to reduce the annual payment of Prince Wu's palace and pay it on a monthly basis to prevent him from going out and causing mischief.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to suddenly take out tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Otherwise, why would he dig up his father-in-law's ancestral grave?

Zhu Yuanzhang hid this matter very well, but to him, the right minister, it was not a secret.

I just want to save face for the emperor and don't want to hold on to a madman.

Zhu Jun and Cai Wen's sons became very close and became brothers.

Got it!

A glint flashed in Li Shanren's eyes, and he knew how to fill this hole.

...

At this time, Zhu Jun held a clue reference in his hand.

Each clue is marked with the provider's true information.

"Three days ago, at the end of Mao hour, I left the palace and walked to the Jubao Tower in a split second, even peeing in the alley of the teahouse next to me!

When I came out, I even kicked a local dog!"

"Three days ago, at the end of Chenshi, I left the treasure building with a chicken in my hand, kissed the chicken, and went to the cockfighting hall.

The chicken pooped three times along the way..."

Zhu Jun looked at the clues and his balls hurt terribly.

This is really the style of my predecessor.

He has no interest in women and sleeps with fighting cocks and hunting dogs.

At first glance, these were clues to make up the numbers, but Zhu Jun still gave him the money.

If you don't give money, how can they believe it?

For a time, his reputation as Madman Zhu resounded throughout Yingtian Mansion again.

He also has the title of King of Prodigal.

Putting these useless clues aside, Zhu Jun rubbed his head.

A total of more than 20,000 taels were used today, and there is zero valid information!

Three days left!

"Bitch, come here!"

Xun Busan hurriedly ran over and said, "Your Highness, what are your orders?"

"Have you recruited all the people in place?"

"This slave has recruited seventy strong men, six old women, and eight maids!"

"I can't even spend the money I gave you. How can you be more useless?" Zhu Jun said: "It will take at least 700 strong men, 80 maids, and 20 to 30 old ladies!"

Xun Busan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a grimace: "Your Highness, it's not that the servants didn't want to do it. Those who heard that it was Prince Wu's Mansion ran away.

These are the only people who were forced to stay by their slaves. If they weren’t really hungry and anxious, I’m afraid they wouldn’t be able to keep any of them!”

Zhu Jun also felt powerless for a while, so miserable!
