Young Master Liu read out another name after Gao Jingyuan.
The name of Wen Changfeng, the Superintendent of the Municipal Water Supervisor, was called by Young Master Liu. A middle-aged official who was also wearing a red official robe couldn't help but tremble.
He glanced at Gao Jingyuan, who was slumped on the ground like a puddle of mud, and felt Liu Mingzhi's piercing eyes staring at him. He stood up tremblingly and stopped in front of Young Master Liu holding the Chaohu.
"Download...download...download official Wen Changfeng to meet King Qiantui."
Liu Mingzhi looked at the frightened Wen Changfeng with strange eyes, and cheerfully raised his hand and patted Wen Changfeng on the shoulder.
"Master Wen, I just want to ask you a few questions. Why are you so frightened? You don't have something wrong with you, do you?"
"As the saying goes, if you don't do anything bad, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. Why is Mr. Wen doing this!"
"Your Majesty is joking, but I'm shivering from the cold, so cold."
Liu Mingzhi nodded as if he suddenly understood: "I see. It seems that I didn't think it through well. The palace is empty and there is no stove for heating. It has delayed you for so long and you haven't left the court to go home. I will give you some advice first."
Mr. Wen apologized."
"Don't dare, don't dare, court affairs are the most important thing!"
"It's good that Mr. Wen understands. I can't help myself. You said it's freezing. Who doesn't want to go home early, wife and children, warm the stove, and live a comfortable life in a down-to-earth manner? The key is this morning.
If the matter is not handled clearly, it will be difficult for us to leave!"
"My father and the late emperor have placed a heavy burden on me before leaving. I can only move forward."
"That's all, I, the King, will not make these useless complaints."
"The Imperial Mausoleum stretches for dozens of miles. In order to prevent excessive accumulation of water from causing the Imperial Mausoleum to collapse, dealing with the drainage problem in the Imperial Mausoleum is a top priority. I think Mr. Wen spent a lot of time on this."
"I won't say much more to be polite. I have carefully calculated the accounts for dealing with the drainage problem of the imperial mausoleum. I did not read out the specific contents in front of my colleagues in the imperial court. Mr. Wen personally reviewed them.
alright."
"I hope Lord Wen can explain to me what happened to the missing 220,000 taels of snowflake silver?"
"Ah! Mr. Wen, who has worked so hard."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Wen Changfeng coldly, his tone of voice unspeakably sinister, and Wen Changfeng, like Gao Jingyuan, suddenly started sweating and his legs began to tremble.
Looking at the rice paper that Liu Mingzhi handed to him, Wen Changfeng didn't dare to pick it up and fell directly to the ground.
Wen Changfeng hardly needed to read what was on the rice paper carefully, because when Liu Mingzhi said the two hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver, Wen Changfeng's heart had already gone cold.
Although there is a slight discrepancy in the amount of silver, it is nothing more than an insignificant and idle change.
Compared with those idle scraps, the amount of two hundred and twenty thousand silver is enough to convict myself of the crime of ransacking my house.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry... I know I'm guilty, I'm willing to plead guilty, I'm willing to plead guilty."
"Xiaoguan knows that he cannot escape the death penalty, so he is willing to hand over all the money he has shared. He only asks the prince to show mercy and spare the family of Xiaguan."
"These were all committed by the lower officials themselves. They did not know about it. Please show mercy to them and deal with them leniently!"
Liu Mingzhi quietly looked at Wen Changfeng, who could still maintain a calm mind and absolve his family from the blame, and slowly squatted down: "You are still a man, and you know that the harm will not come to your family."
"But it doesn't matter whether I can show mercy to them outside the law or not. Everything will be dealt with according to the Great Dragon Law."
"You just said that you were willing to hand over your share of the silver. So, the two hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver did not fall into your hands alone."
"I wonder if this king's understanding is correct?"
"This...Xiaguan...Xiaguan..."
Wen Changfeng hesitated to speak, which made many officials present so nervous that they did not dare to take a breath. They stared at Wen Changfeng with unspeakable panic.
I wish I could curse Wen Changfeng for dying suddenly on the spot.
After Wen Changfeng dies, he may not keep all the secrets, but he can definitely keep some secrets.
People are all lucky, so many people are now wishing that Wen Changfeng died suddenly. In this case, some things related to them may be taken into the grave by Wen Changfeng forever.
"Xiaguan was distracted for a moment, and his nonsense was wrong. All the money was handled by Xiaguan."
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and shook his head, patting the rice paper that Wen Changfeng didn't dare to take into Wen Changfeng's hand.
"Mr. Wen, Mr. Wen, you are not a good official, but you are a good partner."
"It's just that you are willing to keep secrets for others, but at this moment others are eager for you to die immediately, because only the dead can keep secrets forever."
"It is precisely because the dead can keep secrets forever. Mr. Wen, you said that if you died, others would be worried that you would keep some account books in your hand that could implicate them, and you would do some unexpected and crazy actions.
Woolen cloth?"
"Um!"
"If it was me........."
Liu Mingzhi glanced around at the officials in the palace with a leisurely smile, put his left hands together and opened them suddenly in front of Wen Changfeng, who was lowering his head and trembling.
"If it were me, Mr. Wen's house would have been burned to ashes by a fire."
"In that case, all the secrets will be lost forever with a fire that reaches the sky."
"When the time comes, Mr. Wen has just begged me for mercy. I don't need to say more about what will happen to the family members who want me to show mercy."
"This goes back to what I just said, only the dead can keep secrets forever."
"Whether your family knows about this or not, I will rather kill the wrong person than let him go."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, maybe I am the only one who can be so cruel. After all, I have been on the battlefield for several years. I have been on the battlefield for many years. Not to mention hundreds of people in my family, there are tens of thousands. Scenes of corpses scattered everywhere have become commonplace.
, there are only a few hundred people, and I won’t even blink.”
"So, maybe others won't be as ruthless as I am, not taking the lives of hundreds of people seriously. In this way, Mr. Wen's family might still have a glimmer of hope."
"Lord Wen, what the king said is very reasonable, isn't it?"
"I...Xiaguan...Xiaguan..."
Liu Mingzhi gently took the rice paper from Wen Changfeng's hand: "Things have just begun. Mr. Wen still has a lot of time to think about it. Don't worry, I also have a lot of things waiting for me."
"I will give you time to think about it, but I hope Lord Wen will not disappoint me."
"You are just a little shrimp. I have told you so much and wasted so much saliva. I hope you will not let me down."
"The real big fish is yet to come."
"Mr. He Zhanghe, the right minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Mr. Fan Si'anfan of the Construction Department under the Ministry of Works."
"Oh, by the way, there is also Mr. Cui Xingtian, the doctor of the Ministry of War!"
