Qiu Long interrupted him: "This is the note left by He Xiao."
The old palace man had never been so rude. King Yao did not blame him for his rudeness. He reached out to take the note and read it——
My eyes widened!
Baitan?
Baitan!
He Xiao said that the Qingyang accomplice he couldn't trace out turned out to be Bai Tan?!
Qiu Long said carefully: "Your Majesty, this may be He Xiao's deliberate bite before he escaped..."
He Xiao had given him the ruby ​​​​box a few days ago. Assuming that Bai Tan really colluded with Qingyang to rebel, why didn't He Xiao report it earlier, but only revealed it now? What does it mean?
It's scary to think about it.
"No!" King Yao glared at him, but his eyes clarified a lot, "Although He Xiao's purpose is unclear, he rarely makes mistakes. Call Yu Wenxu in."
Qiu Long went outside the palace and summoned Yu Wenxu alone.
"Your Majesty." Yu Wenxu faced King Yao with the same respect as before.
King Yao went straight to the point: "How did you obtain the entire set of evidence to expose Shi Yiwei?"
Yu Wenxu had previously brought out this set of information, and because the evidence was extremely sufficient, King Yao immediately handed it over to Tingwei for execution. After Shi Yiwei was arrested, he quickly confessed, and King Yao did not bother to delve into it even in his busy schedule.
Knowing what can be done does not necessarily mean knowing what to do.
Yu Wenxu was horrified when he unexpectedly asked.
If you are caught telling a lie, you will be guilty of deceiving the king. The king's temper hates incompetence but hates deception.
Fortunately, he was prepared in advance. He swallowed his saliva and said, "Yes, the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce found it and handed it over to me."
When he reported clues to the Shi family earlier, he did not stress that he had gone to great lengths to find them. He simply said "I got the clues" in an understatement. King Yao concentrated on the rich and detailed content and did not ask any more questions.
King Yao said grimly: "He Xiao gave it to you?"
"Yes, yes." Yu Wenxu said bravely, "This afternoon, he sent his personal guards to my home."
Then he took this thing to the palace to claim credit.
Even though King Yao sounded fierce now, Yu Wenxu did not regret it. This just shows that the king followed the evidence and found something, so he asked him to confirm the source.
The clues were true and the evidence was useful. This was the most important thing. Afterwards, he would just wait to receive the reward.
"I was just wondering why Yuwen Aiqing was so thoughtful and able to catch the Shi family. It turned out to be the fault of pretending to be someone else!" Yao Wangpi said with a smile, "You have never thought about how He Xiao could take such a big step.
Let the credit go to you?"
Doesn’t he know the virtues of the officials and businessmen under his command? They clearly hold the best resources in Yao Kingdom, no, no, they clearly hold the best resources in the Golden Flash Plain, but they only give them to him every year.
The treasury makes so much money, and sometimes it even has to do some tricks to balance the accounts. If it can't cover it, it will find various reasons to complain about losses——
Otherwise, how could the national treasury be empty year after year, and how could the country be so short of money? Even an outsider like He Xiao was asked to raise money for King Yao and the national treasury?
These officials and businessmen can even count money incorrectly while sitting on the floor, otherwise where would the losses and deficits come from?
With this level of idiot and this kind of work efficiency, Yu Wenxu, who had been an official and businessman for ten years, suddenly became smart and capable, and he immediately uncovered the Shi family's speculation and misdeeds, which even King Yao felt was abnormal.
Today's events were happening in such a rapid succession that he had no time to think about it in detail before, but now it felt wrong to think about it.
Yu Wenxu lowered his head and dared not speak.
King Yao waved his hand and had no time to get angry or argue with him: "Go down."
