"ah?"

Suddenly, the whole palace was in an uproar.

This matter is really too big.

It was so big that even Man Chong himself felt a little overwhelmed.

You know, this is a serious crime of collaborating with the enemy, and Taicang Ling is obviously a small person. Could such a big thing be handled by him alone?

Man Chong judged almost immediately. If this matter is true, then there must be a huge chain of interests behind it, and the power involved is absolutely It's even more terrifying than he imagined!

Da Si Nong!

He is also one of the Nine Ministers of the Imperial Court.

He has the same official position as himself.

When encountering such a thing, even Man Chong only has the power to investigate, not to deal with it!

He We must report it to the emperor!

Bang!

There was a scream.

Man Chong did not hesitate and shouted on the spot:"Bold, you are such a king. You dare to slander the imperial official. It is simply a crime plus one. Come on, give it to me." I put him in prison and kept him under strict supervision. No one is allowed to enter without my order!

Wang San's eyes widened:"Sir, I didn't lie, this is true!" Man

Chong stood up and waved his hand:"Quit!""

Pule and Ding Mo immediately started chasing people away.

Zhang Xu pulled the emperor out of the gate and exhaled a long breath:"It really scared our family to death. This man is really like that mad dog when he is about to die. Half of it, biting it randomly is an unforgivable crime!"

"No!"

The little emperor insisted, with an extremely firm look on his face:"No! Zhang

Xu also nodded:"Your Majesty is wise, this is definitely wrong. Fortunately, Boning saw through it in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.""

"no!"

The little emperor shook his head:"Bo Ning felt that the matter was too big and should not be made public at this time, so he dealt with it in this way. He was protecting Wang San and wanted to get more clues from Wang San.!"

"ah?"

Zhang Xu was stunned.

What the hell, is Man Chong that smart?

Zhang Xu suddenly felt that his IQ was being rubbed on the ground by someone?

"Let's go to Tingwei's Mansion!"

The little emperor pondered for a moment, then waved his hand for Zhang Xu to come forward.

Du! Du! Du! Du!

There was a knock on the door.

Squeak!

The door of Tingwei Mansion opened a gap.

A head poked out from inside.

Zhang Xu didn't talk nonsense. , directly took out a token and handed it to the person inside:"Go! Give this golden medal arrow to Man Boning and tell him that His Majesty has arrived and ask him to greet you quickly!"

Your Majesty?

When the officials of Tingwei's Mansion heard this, they naturally did not dare to neglect. As they closed the door, they hurried back to Tingwei's Mansion.

After a while!

Creak~~ the door opened again.

Man Chong stepped out quickly and was about to salute. , but was interrupted by the little emperor waving his hand:"Bo Ning, please don't make any noise. Today I am paying a private visit incognito. Let's go. If you have anything, please tell me in detail!""

"promise!"

Man Chong responded, waved his hand to make a petition, and led the emperor into the Tingwei Mansion:"Your Majesty, is it possible that what happened today is impossible?......"

The little emperor did not hide it, and nodded:"Yes, I already know, you did the right thing today, this matter must be kept absolutely confidential, and it must be detected quickly!"

"But Your Majesty!"

Man Chong was about to say something, but the little emperor interrupted directly:"Bo Ning, I know what you want to say. Take this command arrow, and if I are here in person, you can investigate however you want. I only have one condition. , want the truth of the matter!"

"promise!"

Feeling this heavy trust.

Man Chong took the gold medal arrow with both hands:"Where are Ding Mo and Pule!

The two took a step forward:"Here!""

Man Chong immediately ordered:"Pule, you personally lead the people to take over Taicang. Don't let anyone get close. Anyone who disobeys the order will be arrested directly. No mistakes!

Pule leaned forward and held up his hands:"No!" Man

Chong turned to face Ding Mo:"Ding Mo, you lead a team and immediately seal off Da Sinong, especially the files inside. No contact is allowed. At the same time, send people to keep an eye on Da Sinong." Members, no one can be missing!"

Ding Mo leaned forward and held his hands in his hands:"No! Man

Chong took a deep breath:"Moreover, go to Han Sikong and ask him to send Zhuge Jin to the court. Almost all the taxes paid to the court passed through his hands. No one knows the accounts better than him!""

Ding Mo:"No!" The little emperor is quite satisfied with

Man Chong's reaction. In fact, whether there is reselling of grain and grass, the first thing is to make sure that there is not enough grain. How to confirm is to determine how much it comes from, how much is left, how much is spent in the middle, and where it is spent. , do these things match the accounts, and which of them are fake accounts! Only by confirming these! can we know whether Da Sinong resold grain and grass. If the problem is really found, then the rest is to be determined Divided into masterminds, accomplices, etc. But these

......

For the little emperor, it is no longer important.

As long as anyone is involved in these things, he will hardly hesitate and will kill them immediately!

"Your Majesty, the prison is dark, otherwise you would still......"

The emperor is a man of great wealth, so Man Chong naturally cannot let the little emperor follow him.

"No need!"

The little emperor waved his hand:"The days in Luoyang and Chang'an are not much better than prison. It's better to leave. I want to hear with my own ears what Wang San did."

"promise!"

Since the emperor said so,

Man Chong couldn't refuse.

When they entered the prison, the relevant personnel of Tingwei were ready and brought the emperor and Man Chong to Wang San.

Man Chong took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. :"Wang San! Wang

San's eyes widened:"Sir, what the common people said is all true. I'm not lying!" Man

Chong pointed at the little emperor with his finger and said softly:"Wang San, this is your Majesty. You have to know that everything you say will be evidence in court. There will be no room for lies, otherwise I, Man Chong, will definitely Teach you how sinful it is to slander!"

"......His Majesty......Down?"

Wang San was stunned. The two holes under his eyebrows almost popped out.

"That's right!"

The little emperor nodded:"I passed by Tingwei's Mansion today and stopped to take a look. I didn't expect that it would be involved in such a case. Don't worry, if this matter is true, I will personally order it. Bonin commutes your sentence!"

"real?"

Wang San was stunned for a moment, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"real!

The little emperor nodded affirmatively:"But first, what you say must be true!""

"really!"

"It really couldn’t be truer! Wang San nodded hurriedly and bowed:"

Your Majesty, sir, my family has three horses and makes a living by transporting goods. Some time ago, about half a month ago, my friend Ma Liu introduced me to a job, saying that it was Help people deliver food!"

"......"

Wang San told everything about what happened at that time.

In fact!

He was just a temporary replacement.

It was curfew and there was no one on the streets.

The carriages were transported outside Taicang, and then pulled out one by one.

He felt curious, so he asked his friend Ma Liu, and Ma Liu said that the man was Taicang Ling. He could exchange new rice for old rice and earn some price difference. It would not cause any big trouble!

But I found out later!

This is not replacing old rice with new rice at all.

Only part of it is Chen rice, the rest is filled with sand!

"Your Majesty, sir, everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can come and confront Ma Liu. He lives at No. Dinghai, Alley 2, Lane Street, Old City. He was once a member of the Yellow Turbans!"

Man Chong didn't hear any big flaws in his narration, so he judged it to be credible.

So he didn't hesitate:

"Come on, catch Ma Liu!"

The two jailers promised.

After saying that, they turned around and left.

Taking a deep breath.

Man Chong turned around and said:"Your Majesty, the other party is doing it late at night. This matter is likely to involve Zhijinwu, so we have to imprison Your Majesty and send Someone summoned Zhi Jinwu to Tingwei to find out the situation."

"Um!

The little emperor nodded and waved:"Zhang Qing, do as you are told!""

Zhang Xu responded:"No!"

Immediately, he turned and left.

After a while, soldiers from Tingwei's mansion came to report that Zhuge Jin had arrived.

Man Chong took a long breath and said softly:"Tzuyu is indeed Ziyu, he came so quickly! Bring him here immediately."

Fu Bing:"No!"

Zhuge Jin came to the palace and was surprised to see the young emperor also there:"Your Majesty, sir.

The little emperor simply hummed:"Are you Zhuge Ziyu of Sikong Mansion?"

Zhuge Jin nodded:"Yes, it's me.""

The little emperor looked at Zhuge Jin and couldn't help but nodded:"Yes, he is really talented. Jiaheng can really recruit talents from all over the world. Boning is already outstanding. I didn't expect that Tzuyu is so young!

Zhuge Jin cupped his hands and said,"No, thanks to Master Sikong's teaching!" The little emperor hummed:"

Very good, you can check the accounts with Boning first." Zhuge Jin frowned:"

Your Majesty, sir, may I ask?"......"

Man Chong let out a long breath:"Ziyu, to tell you the truth, the taxes paid by Sikong seemed to have been smuggled out!"

"ah? Zhuge Jin pretended to be shocked:"

This......this......"

Man Chong waved his hand:"It's just a possibility. Otherwise, why would I come to you? You must check the accounts carefully and help me see if there are any problems with Da Si Nongzhong's accounts!"

Zhuge Jin nodded. :"Okay!"

He immediately moved to the side and began to check the accounts frantically.

If we just look at the data in the accounts.

Have to admit.

Da Sinong did a very good job and was very stealthy.

However, this kind of numbers game can only fool ordinary people. For Zhuge Jin, it is completely child's play. He has too many such people and is very experienced.

It didn't take a while.

Zhuge Jin came over holding a file:"Your Majesty, Boning!"

Man Chong asked anxiously:"How is it?"

Zhuge Jin took a deep breath and said:"There is indeed a problem!"

The little emperor frowned:"Oh? You Tell me, what's the problem?"

Zhuge Jin bowed his head and said,"Your Majesty, if you look at the accounts alone, there doesn't seem to be a big problem! However, Your Majesty, please take a look at this article. The salaries paid to officials are above."

"If Wei Chen remembers correctly, there is no such person in the court, and there are two people who are still receiving salaries according to the accounts! Man Chong was shocked:"

Eating on empty wages?"

Zhuge Jin nodded:"That's right!" If there are people who want to give blessings, there will naturally be other officials. How many people who live on free money exist needs to be compared with the actual personnel in the court to know!"

The little emperor nodded.

Such relatively detailed things really require a professional to discover them.

"also! Zhuge

Jin took a deep breath and said,"Your Majesty, look here. In order to thank Sikong, your Majesty said that some of the details of the court affairs could be left to others.""

"Therefore, whether it is planting trees, replacing them, or constructing them, craftsmen are temporarily hired from outside. After the work is completed, the commission is paid!

The little emperor nodded:"Yes, there is such a thing. Is there any problem with it?" Zhuge Jin said solemnly:"

On the surface, it seems to be fine, but the number of craftsmen is wrong, and the craftsmen's commissions are also wrong. In short, the number is too much, and the commissions are generally too high!""

"In addition, the prices of vegetables and fruits purchased by the Food Supervisor are obviously on the high side. They are at least 30% higher than those purchased by Sikong Fuzhong, and some are even twice as high!"

"......"

The more the little emperor listened, the more shocked he became!

You must know that in this dynasty, whether it is salary or money, it can usually be exchanged for food.

In a sense, money, even horseshoe gold, is not hard currency.

The real hard currency is food!

In the end, everything has to be calculated based on grain.

"Your Majesty, these things are very obscure."

"Except for people like us who often deal with finance, really few people can see this."

Zhuge Jin is not exaggerating. He is almost familiar with Taishan's prices and various prices.

When I explained it to the little emperor, it was one set after another, well-founded and very clear.

"Tzuyu! The little emperor took a deep breath:"

Then do you think there is at least a lot of fishiness in this account?"

Zhuge Jin paused and said,"Your Majesty, I conservatively estimate that the loss is at least 30%. After all, the court still needs to wait until the next tax collection. This process is very long and requires a lot of food!""

"Thirty percent!"

The little emperor was stunned, his eyes wanted to pop out of his eyes:"Huh! No wonder Shaoping always said that the court had no money, but all of it fell into his own pocket!"

"Damn it!"

The little emperor clenched his fists and ordered:"Bo Ning! Man Chong bowed his head and said,"

Wei Chen is here.""

The little emperor said sonorously:"I order you to catch all the officials involved in the case, and not let any of them go. I will never allow such a worm to exist in the court, not even a single one!"

Man Chong:"No!"
