But this smile not only gave people chills, but also had an unusually evil aura.
When Situ Xinghen said these words, his eyes were fixed on the Grand Master's face without moving away for even a moment.
The Grand Master is indeed an old fox. He is always smiling, but there is no emotion on his face.
"Ah, is there such a thing? Wan Zheng, the magistrate of Yanqing City, is the brother-in-law of a minor minister. There is no way he would be so heartbroken and crazy.
Your Highness, if you can catch him, it will be a blessing to all people.
Alas, Kyoto is thousands of miles away from Yanqing City, and Weichen has no idea about everything he did. Otherwise, Weichen will definitely kill his relatives out of justice."
Han Chutian said shamelessly.
As soon as these words came out, Situ Xinghen's face became even more stern, and he looked at him with eyes as sharp as daggers.
"Haha... Grand Master is really a good official in our prosperous Tang Dynasty!
When he was investigating Wan Zheng, he also confessed to the prince that the grand master also had a share of the stolen goods.
Moreover, the prince also obtained an account book from Qian Tongtian, the steward of Wanfu, with detailed account transactions in it.
If the account is true, the amount of silver the Grand Master received from Wan Zheng could reach more than 30 million taels!
More than 30 million is almost the entire tax revenue of the entire prosperous Tang Dynasty for four months. This is really not a small amount."
"Your Highness, this...
How is this possible? That ledger must have been forged by them in order to shock the officials who were investigating them.
All along, Wei Chen has worked conscientiously as an official and devoted himself to serving the people. How could Wei Chen commit corruption?"
"That's enough, Han Chutian, I don't have time to play this kind of game with you here.
What I have just told you, I just want to give you a chance to confess your crime. Since you are pretending to be confused, don’t blame me for being rude."
"Your Highness, I am really innocent."
"Hmph - whether he is innocent or not, we will find out once we check."
"Wei Chen is going to Beijing to meet the emperor..."
"You are suspected of corruption, murder, silence and many other crimes. You are not qualified to meet the emperor."
