After speaking, Li Junche asked Song Zhiyuan to take the people away.
On the muddy dirt road, Song Zhiyuan was very irritated, "Your Majesty, the lawsuit hasn't been signed yet, so we're leaving like this?"
There is nothing wrong with the ledger, and witnesses are their only hope.
There was a hint of anger in Li Junche's eyes, which was dissatisfaction with Li Yuheng's disregard for human life.
"Princess Ledger already has a clue. As long as the prefects of several cities are willing to testify, the people will let them go."
Even if Li Lin, the Minister of Household Affairs, could be brought down this time, nothing would happen to the prince Li Yuheng.
If he was angry and retaliated against the people who testified, these innocent people would be massacred without limit.
I am a poor family. Wouldn't it be extremely sad if we were to suffer such misfortune again?
After returning to the government office, Li Junche received the list sent by Wen Jinhe.
Song Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes and said, "These are all people who bought grain seeds in the last few days. Does the princess mean that they all have problems?"
Wen Jinhe suspected that these people lied about the amount of land and defrauded a large amount of sweet potatoes and corn seeds, and finally sold them at high prices to make profits.
Before Li Junche's accident happened, Wen Jinhe used the modern products produced in the space to compete for business from the shops of Prince Heng's Mansion and Prince Lin's Mansion.
So they can't make money.
The long-term deficit may have made Li Yuheng's money very tight.
Once the time comes to use money, he will use the power in his hands for personal gain.
The Ministry of Husbandry was in charge of the treasury, and he was Li Yuheng's father-in-law, so he was the fattest sheep.
Song Zhiyuan asked the government officials to visit each house according to the list and check the amount of land.
I found that those lands did exist, but they were all wastelands and had not been cultivated at all.
The sweet potato and corn seeds that were bought were not planted at all.
Since Su Ancient City used this method to avoid inspections by the imperial court, it should be the same for several other cities.
The officials transferred from the Ministry of Punishment quickly arrested the person and put him in the jail of the Ministry of Punishment.
As soon as Li Junche returned to the Ministry of Justice, Li Lin, the Minister of Hubu, was already taken to the lobby.
"Li Shangshu, these people took your money, forged land, defrauded the court to sell sweet potatoes and corn seeds at low prices and gave them to you, and then you sold them to other cities at high prices for personal gain. Now that the evidence is conclusive, what else can you say? of?"
Li Junche's sword-shaped eyebrows were twisted into a rope.
It is normal for the royal family to fight for power and profit in order to fight for the throne, but it cannot endanger the country and the country through crime, and shake the foundation of the country.
This time he will never let Li Lin, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, go. He must be brought to justice and one of Li Yuheng's arms will be broken.
Looking at the witnesses who were kneeling in the lobby, the Minister of Household Affairs was full of panic, "Prince Che, this matter has nothing to do with Wei Chen. Wei Chen arranged all the matters of selling grain and seeds to be handled by his subordinates, and all the silver sold has been processed." It is collected into the national treasury, and everything is recorded in the register. It is an injustice for me. "
Li Junche threw the account book in front of Li Lin, "Then please explain to me why the words recorded on the extra pages of these account books are completely consistent with what these witnesses smuggled out. The accounts of this household department are not Did you record and check everything yourself?"
The account book hit Li Lin on the face. He ignored the pain and looked down at the seven account books that fell to the ground in panic.
how come?
How could King Che find out?
The accounts he made were so perfect that no one could tell.
No wonder King Che could find the impostor so easily!
"Your Majesty, the evidence is conclusive, Mr. Li can't save it anymore." The guard hurriedly found Li Yuheng with his sword in hand.
They sent people to keep an eye on the Ministry of Justice, but they didn't expect that their previous plans would be ruined because of the ledger.
Isn’t it that the Minister of Hubu claims to be the most powerful in arithmetic in the entire Beidi Kingdom?
The books in the study room were scattered all over the floor, and the papers soaked in tea were stuck to the floor and were damaged.
"Li Lin is gone, and there is You Zhicheng. He didn't interfere in this matter. When Li Lin falls, my father will naturally let the Minister of Household Affairs take over, and the Household Department will still be in the hands of this king." Li Yuheng said. Be prepared to give up on Li Lin.
The guard's eyes widened. The Minister of Household Affairs was the prince's father-in-law. "What about the princess?"
If the queen of a country is the daughter of a guilty minister, she will be criticized verbally and written by hundreds of civil and military officials.
Li Yuheng stared at the blackened tea leaves on the ground with disdain, "There is no need to keep things that have no use value and can only hold me back."
Guard: "Prince Che is still being interrogated by the Ministry of Justice. Will the Minister of Hubu confess the prince?"
"The lives of everyone in the Li family, including the princess, are in my hands. He doesn't dare to betray me. You go to the Criminal Department to remind him." Li Yuheng has always been a cruel person.
Standing by the window of the study room, Princess Heng's eyes were already moist and her eyes were dull.
When she heard that there was no sound inside, she immediately left the window and hid in the corner.
She watched the guards leave the study with her own eyes, her legs already weak.
Li Junche saw Li Lin sitting down in the lobby as if he had lost his mind, and knocked down the gavel tree hard, "Did you send someone to assassinate the governor of Sugu City? In order to prevent the poor people who bought the seeds at high prices from daring to Testify? Tell the prefects who signed the petition to shut up."
Li Lin raised his head and looked at Li Junche, who had a cold face. He opened his mouth and immediately closed it again, "Yes, Wei Chen was worried that the matter would be exposed, so he sent someone to silence him."
Li Junche frowned, "Did someone instigate it? Where is the embezzled money hidden?"
Dozens of eyes were fixed on Li Lin.
Li Lin looked at Xizhou with dull eyes and caught sight of a figure in the crowd outside the lobby. His eyes were as desperate as those of a death row prisoner before he died, "No one was instructing me. I was just too greedy and wanted to take advantage of this to make a fortune. "
Song Zhiyuan, who was standing aside, was not satisfied with the result, "What about Greedy Mo's money?"
Both Li Junche and Song Zhiyuan knew that 80%25 of Tanmo's money was sent to Prince Heng's Mansion.
Li Lin giggled, "It's all been spent a long time ago. It's just a small amount of money, and it's not enough for me to drink a few dinners of flower wine."
Song Zhiyuan grabbed Li Lin's neck and said, "Preliminary calculation shows that it is more than 100,000 taels of silver. Why are you drinking such expensive wine?"
"Be careful." Li Junche shouted suddenly, flew down and grabbed Song Zhiyuan's hair and pulled him back.
Li Lin, who was kneeling on the ground, held a dagger in each hand. He stabbed his own chest with one knife and stabbed Song Zhiyuan's stomach with the other.
Song Zhiyuan looked at his aching stomach in horror.
He covered the wound with one hand, and bright red blood covered his palm.
Li Lin expired and fell in the lobby.
"Call the doctor quickly." The official from the Ministry of Justice shouted at the Yamen servant.
The Criminal Department suddenly became a mess. .
The doctor was quickly taken to the Criminal Department by the Yamen on horseback. After the examination, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Majesty and your lords, please rest assured that the dagger did not penetrate deeply. It only hurt the skin and flesh, and did not damage the internal organs."
Fortunately, Li Junche found out in time and helped Song Zhiyuan, otherwise he would have returned to the underworld like the Minister of the Ministry of Finance.
He had to express his loyalty to Li Yuheng before he died, which really made people angry.
