677. the 677th chapter
Zhou Heng clasped his fists with his hands, and said in a stern tone, "I heard from Your Majesty. I suddenly received a secret letter last night, which read: There is a large number of official silver hidden in the prince's house.
Knowing that this matter is very important, he didn't have time to report, so he led people to search the palace this morning. As a result, this batch of official silver was found in a warehouse in the palace. I have verified that this batch of official silver was his Majesty two months ago
The one who was sent north to provide disaster relief but was robbed."
"It's outrageous!" The emperor was furious after hearing this, "This official silver is used to provide disaster relief to comfort the people who are suffering from disasters and difficult to live. Unexpectedly, someone would be brave enough to rob the official silver. What I didn't expect was that this bold person would be more courageous.
It turns out to be you, my good brother!!!”
The emperor was furious and instantly pushed Feng Zheliang to the forefront. The ministers all looked at him, some were indignant, some were sympathetic, and some were even afraid of endangering themselves and their faces were pale.
"Your Majesty, I think this matter is quite strange!"
At the moment when everyone is in danger, Shangguan Wenyong stood up, bowed with fists, and said in a stern voice, "A mere deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, he was just a matter of his own decision to search the palace. I dare to ask who gave him such a big deal.
The power? Furthermore, it is not easy to find a few boxes in such a large place. But according to the news, the commander Zhou directly ordered people to search the treasury of the royal palace as soon as he arrived at the palace
. Could it be that Lord Zhou has the ability to be able to achieve such a great power as a thousand-mile eye, but he can't figure it out? There is another thing that Wei Chen really can't figure out: the prince is already in the position of a thousand years, would he care about this kind of tens of thousands of taels of silver?"
The emperor looked at Shangguan Wenyong who spoke with deep eyes. This "old fox" is really doing everything and pervasive!
"Mr. Shangguan's words are wrong!"
Xiao Cong, who was the same as Shangguan Wenyong, stood up! Looking at Shangguan Wenyong who was anxious to defend his "son-in-law", a gloomy look on his eyes.
"Now, Lord Shangguan and Crown Jun Qiansui are close relatives, so they naturally have the intention of favoritism. Commander Zhou has also explained that this matter is very important, and he is very afraid that things will change, so he will risk leading people into the palace to search.
He would guess that the official silver was hidden in the treasury, which was reasonable. I think all the lords present were placed in the treasury, what do you think? Then it was the first proposed by Lord Shangguan.
Three doubts... Yes, you are a thousand years old, so you don’t have to take risks for the sake of a mere ten thousand taels of official silver. But what if it’s not just a mere ten thousand taels of 10,000 taels?"
As soon as Xiao Cong said this, some whispers from ministers in private came from the hall.
"Yes, the Imperial Guards have only temporarily found these official banks in the royal palace, and there are still other places."
"I heard that the amount of money sent to provide disaster relief was far more than ten thousand taels a day. Could it be that the rest... were hidden?"
Xiao Cong then looked at him inadvertently in a direction behind him. After receiving his hint, a man immediately stumbled out of the team standing by the officials, with a look of horror on his face and kneeling on the ground.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty!"
The person kneeling on the ground was a third-rank censor who once threatened to be loyal to Feng Zheliang, Wu Shiliang. Because he was right in the past, he was always "loyal" to Feng Zheliang. Therefore, he became Feng Zheliang.
A 'affiliated' beside Liang didn't expect that he would turn the tables...
