Qiyou Extra Story (24)

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! Liangzhou is not far from the provincial capital, Haocheng, because this is the first place to enjoy a series of policies that benefit the people implemented by Yuxi, so The life of the people here is very good. The position of prefect of Liangzhou is also a lucrative position.

Qiyou didn't make any private visits, but first went to the leader of the garrison stationed in Pick City. He mobilized a hundred elite soldiers with the garrison leader, and then went to Liangzhou.

Zhao Qian was very worried: "My lord, there is such a huge situation, what should we do if we make a mistake?" At that time, it will not end well.

"It's better if you make a mistake." If you make a mistake, you can get him, the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment, and he can be as carefree as his third brother in the future.

In fact, Qiyou has always been envious of Qixuan, and he can go wherever he wants. Unlike him, he has to report for more days out of Beijing. It's really, really not free.

In fact, Qiyou knew in his heart that even if Qihao made a mistake, he wouldn't fuck him. At most, he would be scolded for a while, and then sprayed twice by the censor.

Zhao Qian: ...Don't guess what the prince is thinking, even after guessing, he can't understand it. So, just don't bother thinking about it.

When he arrived in Liangzhou, Qiyou approached Zhao Lifu, the prefect of Liangzhou, and said that he wanted to check the bank.

Checking the treasury is a major national event, of course Zhao Lifu objected, even if Qiyou was the prince, he would not back down.

Zhao Lifu said righteously: "My lord, our bank vault is strictly guarded, and people who enter and exit must be checked strictly. My lord, there will be absolutely no problem with the bank bank."

No matter how strict the guards are, there are loopholes to exploit. Qiyou didn't talk nonsense with him, and directly took out the imperial decree. Now, Zhao Lifu didn't dare to object anymore.

Qiyou was a vigorous and resolute person, so he immediately took people to the bank.

Regardless of whether it is a provincial capital or a state capital, the silver stored in the bank is used to maintain daily expenses, so there is a limit. For example, the silver stored in the Liangzhou Bank is 200,000 taels. If there are too many, they will be escorted to the capital. This is why there is a large amount of expenditure in the local area, and the Ministry of Households must allocate funds.

The official silver is ten taels of silver and one ingot, and two hundred thousand taels is only twenty thousand ingots of silver. Qiyou directly asked his personal guards to investigate.

Qiyou was not idle either, taking a silver ingot from the shelf to look at from time to time. Take a silver ingot from a shelf, and put it back after reading it. When it came to the silver ingot on the eighteenth shelf, Qiyou felt wrong as soon as he held it in his hand.

At this moment, Zhao Qian said: "Your Majesty, we have cleared up 10,000 yuan, and 20,000 ingots of official silver are a lot." When Zhao Qian said this, there was endless worry in Zhao Qian's eyes. It's such a mess, I don't know how it will end!

Zhao Lifu straightened his waist immediately: "My lord, I have already said that there is no problem with the treasury."

Qiyou chuckled all over, and then handed the silver in his hand to Zhao Lifu: "You have seen this ingot, so it's not too late to talk big." There is clearly something wrong with this silver ingot.

Zhao Lifu didn't feel right holding the silver, so he couldn't help turning it over to take a look. Looking at it this way, it almost didn't scare me to death. There will be words or patterns engraved on the bottom of the official silver, but this ingot of silver does not.

Before Zhao Lifu could speak, Qiyou called the guards to break the silver ingot.

When Zhao Lifu saw the black thing inside the silver ingot, he rolled his eyes in shock and passed out.

Qiyou curled his lips, thinking that his mental quality was really poor. However, in view of Zhao Lifu's previous performance, Qiyou felt that he should not have participated in the transfer of money. If not, he wouldn't have kept his face dark.

After verification, 200,000 taels of silver and 30,000 taels were lost. At that moment, Qiyou became more and more convinced that Zhao Lifu was ignorant of this matter.

Zhao Lifu has been the magistrate of Liangzhou for five years, and it is impossible for him to spend five years stealing 30,000 taels of silver from the treasury. You know, as a prefect, if you give some convenience to a certain businessman, you can get 20,000 to 30,000 taels of silver. Misappropriating money from the treasury is a much more serious crime than using power to get money.

With this idea in mind, Qiyou ordered the magistrate: "Take control of the relevant personnel immediately, and find out who changed the money in the treasury as soon as possible.

"

After receiving these words, Zhao Lifu seemed to be pardoned. Qiyou let him try the case, tantamount to believing that he was ignorant of the matter. At that time, he will be charged with dereliction of duty or unfavorable supervision in the end. This crime, at most, means that losing the official position will not endanger his life: "It's the prince, I will deal with it now as an official."

Afterwards, Qiyou let go of it.

Zhao Qian said: "The lord is really good at predicting things. If this matter gets out, the name of the detective will be confirmed."

At that time, he saw that there was no shortage of money, and he was very worried. Because if Qiyou's judgment is wrong, it will affect his official career.

The status of the master directly determines the future of these followers. The emperor's former personal entourage, like Zhao Hui, is now a sixth-rank official. He dare not compare with people like Zhao Hui, but he also hopes that Qiyou's official career will be smoother and smoother, and the official will become bigger and bigger. In this way, their waists are straight when they go out, and it is very convenient to go out to do errands. On the contrary, if the master is an idle prince, if he is not decent to find someone to do things, he will push back and forth.

Qiyou glanced at Zhao Qian and said, "I can't even compare to Yuan Bilin, and I'm not afraid to slip your tongue if you say I'm a detective." The case he solved also had an element of luck.

Of course, Qiyou was being modest. The most important thing to be able to solve these cases is that he is serious and responsible in his work, and luck only accounts for a small part.

Within three days, the case was solved. The 30,000 taels of silver were secretly exchanged by two treasury soldiers in the silver treasury. Later, the uneven distribution of the spoils led to internal strife, and a man named Ding Hu killed the other accomplice. After killing someone, plant it on another colleague. The man had a grudge against the deceased, and was caught with a knife in his hand, and Ding Hu testified, and the evidence was solid and the case was soon settled.

If people do not know, unless they do nothing. Li Ershi, the scribe, discovered this by accident. Instead of informing the government, Li Ershi blackmailed Ding Hu. Ding Hu can steal official money and kill his accomplices, how could he be threatened by Li Ershi. He simply didn't do anything, and killed Li Ershi as well. This time he didn't go out on his own, but spent money to buy someone to kill Li Ershi.

As for the banker's military service, he had an affair with another man's wife and was hacked to death by the other man's husband, which has nothing to do with this case.

After reading Ding Hu's confession, Qiyou asked curiously, "Why didn't it say how he secretly exchanged the bank?" Given that the guards were strict, how did this man exchange the silver under the noses of everyone. Qiyou was also very curious about this.

Zhao Lifu coughed and said, "Because it's a bit indecent, I omitted this paragraph."

Hearing that the silver ingot was brought out by using a gun, Qiyou asked in disbelief: "How did he get such a big silver ingot in? And even if it was in, the walking posture must be wrong. Couldn't the hall inspect it?" Suspect?"

Zhao Lifu explained: "Ding Hu's father was a treasury soldier in the previous dynasty. This is their unique skill." The so-called unique skill also needs to be practiced since childhood, and Ding Hu has been practicing since he was three years old. .

"Isn't the relevant family of the bank going to be checked for three generations?" If they failed the review, they would not be selected.

Zhao Lifu said: "The Ding family spent some money and got this job." Who would have thought that Ding Hu would be so bold as to steal money from the treasury. If not, people would not dare to accept his money and arrange him to be a soldier in the treasury.

The case was clarified, Ding Hu beheaded to show the public, the Ding family and the family of the accomplice killed by Ding Hu were confiscated and all were exiled. Those involved in the case will all be dealt with severely. The relevant officials were all downgraded by three ranks.

Zhao Lifu and other officials hated the Ding and Hu families, so all the family members of the two families died on the way. Of course, this is for another day.

After the case was over, Qiyou was not in a hurry to return to Beijing. Instead, he went to Pickaxe City and lived in the palace.

While walking, Qiyou looked at the scenery in the palace and said, "Time flies so fast, it's been more than ten years since I left Pickaxe City." When he left, he was only fifteen years old. Now, they are all fathers.

Zhao Qian said with a smile: "Fortunately, nothing has changed here." Someone cleans here every day, and everything is clean. It's just not popular, it seems a little deserted.

Qiyou revisited the palace, and then lived back in the previous courtyard. The next day, I went shopping.

Qiyou stayed in Pick City for half a month before returning to Beijing. It was also because Qihao sent someone to urge him three times, otherwise he would have stayed for another half a month.

Back in the capital, it was already mid-October. At this point, the leaves are starting to turn yellow.

Qihao saw him and said, "The Ministry of Household Affairs has already sent people to check the situation of the banks in various places." The sooner the problem is found, the sooner it can be solved.

He will not interfere with the affairs of the household department: "In two days, I want to take brother Xu to Xiangshan to see maple trees." Now in late autumn, the maple leaves are all red.

Qi Hao smiled and said: "Meng Xuemin has already written his resignation letter, and I have already approved it."

"Old man Meng is less than 60 years old. I saw him eating delicious food before. Why is he so sick this time?" After finishing speaking, Qiyou glanced at Qihao suspiciously: "Brother, you couldn't be the one giving him a hint, right? ?”

Qihao didn't speak, but just glanced at Qiyou.

Qiyou hurriedly said with a grin: "Brother is wise and powerful, and he definitely wouldn't do such a thing. But brother, I'm still too young, and Yuan Bilin is qualified enough for this position in terms of qualifications and experience."

"When this incident comes out, no one will question me if I appoint you as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment." This time, the bank case in Liangzhou was not publicized. After all, it is not a glorious thing for the court that the official bank was secretly exchanged by the soldiers. Therefore, it is not as well known as the two cases that Qiyou handled before. But the officials basically know it all.

Qiyou saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Brother, I have asked my parents' opinions on this matter."

Hearing this, Qihao took out a letter from the drawer of the desk: "This is the reply letter from mother, please read it."

Seeing Yuxi's letter saying that it would be good to have him as Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, Qiyou couldn't help crying.
