Qin Huaidao originally just wanted to make a scene, get back the money, and at the same time establish the power of the Supervisory Office. He really didn't want to make it big, but food involves the life and death of the people in Chang'an City. If he doesn't stab him, his conscience will not be able to live with it. How much will it explode if he is put under this knife?
Big fish, that has nothing to do with you.
There are things a real man can do and things he should not do!
Not long after, a palace guard came in and reported: "Sir, a young master who calls himself Du He is visiting."
Qin Huaidao almost laughed when he heard this. Du He is a loyal confidant around the prince. This guy has always wanted to imitate his father and become a famous minister. Unfortunately, he has great ambitions but little talent, and has a high eye but a low hand. This time he came here to act as a lobbyist for the prince. The last time they met was
For the sword, he gestured: "Bring it in."
Not long after, Du He walked into the hall, wearing a crescent white robe, with his hands behind his back, his face a little cold, and he bowed and said: "Du He, I have met Mr. Qin!"
"Is something wrong?" Qin Huaidao got straight to the point.
Du He couldn't react for a moment. Normally, shouldn't he say a few polite words and compliment each other before turning to the main topic? After thinking about it, he said bluntly: "I came here on the order of His Highness the Crown Prince. I heard that Mr. Qin has arrested him."
The heads of the Hubu branch, Master Dai and Master Cui, filed a complaint, and the Holy One was furious."
"If you have anything to say, just say it." Qin Huaidao interrupted.
Du He was a little surprised. Shouldn't he be nervous and afraid after committing such a big thing, and think of ways to resolve it? This guy must be pretending, and immediately said: "Master Qin speaks quickly and is full of courage. I admire you, but he is so random."
Arresting people is a taboo in the officialdom, the Holy Emperor is furious, Lord Qin may be in trouble."
"It's a bit troublesome, but what does it have to do with you?" Qin Huaidao asked rhetorically. He was most annoyed by people who beat around the bush and were not straightforward at all.
Du He said with a smile: "It really has nothing to do with it. However, the prince's benevolence and righteousness also appreciate Lord Qin and are willing to help. Of course, Lord Qin must also show his courtesy."
"Oh, what does it mean?"
"It's very simple for Mr. Qin. As long as five thousand carts of coal are needed, the prince will help Mr. Qin deal with this matter. The prince is kind and naturally will not covet Mr. Qin's gifts. I heard that Mr. Qin will bring a cart of coal for fifty
Wen, five thousand carts only cost a little money, but they can save Mr. Qin’s life.”
Five thousand carts of coal cost two hundred and fifty taels of silver, which was indeed not much. Qin Huaidao smiled coldly: "My life is more than five thousand carts of coal. Please tell the prince when you go back. Although I am in trouble, I want to solve it myself.
If it really doesn't work, forget it, I'll die, it doesn't matter, if Master Du has nothing to do, please come back."
"It's just some coal, Master Qin, have you thought about it?" Du He's tone was a bit colder.
"Think about it!"
"Master Qin refuses people thousands of miles away, why don't you think about the future?"
Qin Huaidao was most annoyed by threats from others. Let alone a prince who had no future, what if he would become a great treasure in the future? What could not be done if he was in a hurry? His face darkened and he said coldly: "The court has laws and regulations, and you are not allowed to associate with princes or princes.
I am afraid of death, so for the sake of Uncle Du, I advise you to take care of yourself!"
"you……"
Du He's face turned livid with anger: "The words have been brought to you. Since you don't know what is good and what is good, let's wait and see."
"Pity……"
Qin Huaidao watched the other party leave. Du Ruhui, a famous official of a generation, had such a son. I'm afraid the coffin board couldn't hold it down, right? It's okay to rebel and change your life, but you have to follow the right person.
And this prince actually wants to have sex for nothing, just wait!
An hour later, Yuchi Baolin hurried over with some people. When he entered the door, he shouted: "Sir, Zhou Yi has been caught. This kid has all been killed. He thinks that we are sent by the Holy God. He also wants to report us for meritorious service and be given a lighter sentence."
, there is no limit to the timid."
"Bring it up." Qin Huaidao was a little curious. Is he so timid? It saved him some effort.
Not long after, a man was escorted in. He was fair and tender, a little fat, but his legs were shaking when he walked, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. Qin Huaidao stared at the man and asked, "Who is here?"
"Sir, I'm here next week." The other party knelt down with a thud.
Qin Huaidao looked really timid and unreasonable. He couldn't help but look at Yuchi Baolin and asked: "Tell me, what happened when you arrested the person?"
"This kid had four guards around him. I killed him directly and sprayed blood on his face. He was probably frightened. He looked like a useless coward." Yuchi Baolin explained.
Qin Huaidao still didn't believe that Master Cui Ren would arrange for a coward to guard the granary. He didn't feel at ease if he didn't understand this problem. Who knows if this guy is acting, pretending to be afraid, and turning around to confess randomly? He asked with a straight face: "Tell me, Master Cui, why?"
Arrange for you to take care of the granary?"
Zhou Yi said in a panic: "Sir, I know how to keep accounts, so Master Cui recommended me to the court to take care of the granary. Please spare my life, I am willing to say anything."
"Making false accounts?" Qin Huaidao blurted out. Seeing that the other party did not dare to say anything, he suddenly realized that this was right. Master Cui Ren could not arrange waste to guard the granary. It would be different if he could make false accounts. He asked: "Tell me, Master Cui Ren has shipped away
How much grain is resold?”
"Sir, if I get killed, will I be able to survive?"
Qin Huaidao threatened coldly: "I can't decide whether you can live or not. That is the Holy One's business. If the food is resold, the Holy One will be furious and will be punished for rebellion. If you have nothing serious and you have the merit of reporting, at least you will not
If you fall into rebellion and sin against the nine Yi tribes, think about it first."
When Zhou Yi heard that he was going to be punished for the crime of rebellion, his face changed drastically, and his heart and liver were trembling. When he heard "nothing happened", his mind became excited. What does "nothing happened" mean? Naturally, he shifted all the responsibilities to others, and added the report.
If you are successful, you may die, but your family should survive.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yi quickly said: "Sir, I am willing to report this. It was Mr. Cui Renshi who forced me to do it. He arranged a convoy to bring food and asked me to prepare the accounts. I can't help it."
"Where's the ledger?"
"Here's the account book." Suddenly, Cheng Chumo's voice came from outside.
Soon, Cheng Chumo rushed in and handed an account book to Qin Huaidao.
Qin Huaidao took it and took a look at it. It said what time, who would take away the amount of food, and what name it was in. He held up the account book and asked: "Zhou Yi, you see clearly, is this the one?"
?”
"Yes, it's this one." Zhou Yi quickly replied.
Cheng Chumo said with some pride: "Sir, I found it in his back garden and buried it in the ground. It's hidden enough. His wife took action as soon as he threatened me."
"Well done." Qin Huaidao looked through it for a moment, and found that three grain merchants had actually shipped grain. They were working together to suck the blood of the imperial court. I'm afraid many aristocratic families were involved behind the scenes. Minister, if this lid is lifted, the imperial court may face a big disaster.
Blood transfusion has nothing to do with me.
What he wants is to establish his prestige, establish his own prestige, and also establish the prestige of the Supervisory Office, so that no one dares to provoke him in the future, otherwise people will come to his door every day, and he will not be able to survive? As for how to deal with these people, that is Li Er
The matter had nothing to do with him, so he was responsible for killing and not burying it. He asked: "Chu Mo, there are three grain merchants who have shipped grain. Have you seen the account books?"
"Did not have time."
"Have a look. After that, you two will lead people to seal all the shops of the three grain merchants for me."
"Follow the order!" the two said quickly.
Qin Huaidao handed the account book to Cheng Chumo, then looked at Zhou Yi and said, "Zhou Yi, is there any evidence that Master Cui asked you to release grain?"
