Li Yuanfang looked at Di Renjie, who was full of emotions, and his heart couldn't help but waves!
After following Di Renjie with Di Renjie for so many years, Li Yuanfang understands Di Renjie’s good intentions. He often goes on patrols on behalf of the heavens as an imperial envoy and is ordered to patrol. Corrupt officials are often punished. At this time, Di Renjie can’t help but feel distressed. He is Sincerely feel sorry for these people!
Di Renjie is an upright person, and he truly carries the people under the world in his heart! When the queen was proclaimed the emperor, the anti-war forces tried their best to win over, but Di Renjie remained unmoved, because he knew that this would only make the people of the Li people in the world suffer another calamity, so that the lives of the people will be destroyed and the people will not live!
When Di Renjie saw that Empress Wu Zetian had the world in mind and knew how to use people well, he chose to support it. The old ministers of Li and Tang above the court were mostly Di Renjie's disciples. Seeing this, he also complied with the change of dynasty!
"My lord, are you sad again?" Li Yuanfang asked with concern!
"Oh! Whoever knows me, so does Yuan Fang!" Di Renjie said with a sigh!
"My lord, the two thieves Feng Zhijing and Jiang Chong deceived their hearts and squeezed the people and filled their pockets. Why should adults feel sorry for such a person?" Li Yuanfang encouraged!
"It is really infuriating that the momentary greed of officials has caused so many people to die! Oh, yes, Yuan Fang, that Shen Chang has already left?" Di Renjie asked!
Li Yuanfang slapped his head, and said guiltily: "Oh, look at the mind of the humble job, you almost forgot such an important thing! My lord, this is a confession written by him, and the humble job has already let him go!"
With that said, Li Yuanfang handed over a few pages written by Shen Chang to Di Renjie!
Di Renjie took the pages of paper and looked at it carefully. After a while, Di Renjie threw the pages on the book case, his face full of disappointment!
"My lord, what's the matter with you?" Li Yuanfang asked!
"Although Shen Chang has written a lot about Enyifang, it has no value. It seems that there are forces behind Enyifang that we don't know!" Di Renjie muttered!
"Ah? Forces? Didn't Shen Chang say that the actual controller of Enyifang is the two guests and their boss?" Li Yuanfang asked puzzledly!
"Haha! Do you think that only three of them can reach the sky with hands and eyes? There are many things that can not be done with only one Xiazhou governor!" Di Renjie said!
Li Yuanfang was taken aback for a moment, and his eyes were shocked!
"Also, here
In the officialdom of Shuozhou, Feng Zhijing and Jiang Chong are definitely not the only ones who have colluded with this Enyifang, and there are people we haven't found! "Di Renjie said suddenly!
"What? Anyone else?" Li Yuanfang was even more surprised!
"Yes! There are still people, otherwise, why would Jiang Chong be poisoned under our noses? If I didn't expect it, there will be movement in the east wing soon!" Di Renjie looked out the window and said!
"It seems that the East Wing needs to be more vigilant?" Li Yuanfang asked!
Di Renjie nodded and said, "Ming Changping and the others strengthen the protection of the East Wing! By the way, Yuanfang, shall we go to the bank to see it?"
Li Yuanfang was taken aback and asked: "My lord, do you want to investigate the case of the stolen comfort money?"
Di Renjie smiled slightly and said, "Yes! Although Feng Zhijing has already distributed the two million taels of comfort money, I always feel that these things we have encountered are somewhat related to this comfort money!"
"My lord, it's been so long, what else can we find out now?" Li Yuanfang asked!
"Yuanfang, do you remember Feng Zhijing saying in the lobby that he closed the treasury since the consolation money was lost. According to him, the treasury should still be what it was then!" Di Renjie said!
Li Yuanfang suddenly realized, "Oh! Yes! Why did I forget this!"
"Hahaha! Okay, let's go!" Di Renjie laughed!
The Fu Treasury is located in the courtyard on the west side of the Yamen of the prefectural government.
Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang came to Xikuayuan, the guard saw the imperial commissioner arrived, and quickly bowed to salute!
Di Renjie looked around and asked, "Why are you only guarding this mansion?"
The guard was startled slightly, and immediately replied: "Master Hui, because this treasury was abandoned at the beginning of the year, so only two guards at the courtyard gate were arranged!"
"Oh! Okay, open the door and go inside the pavilion!" Di Renjie said!
The guard hurriedly opened the gate of the yard and walked in, and saw that the gate of the treasury was tightly locked, and the yard was full of remnants and leaves, as if no one had cleaned it for a long time!
"Where is the key to the treasury?" Li Yuanfang asked the two guards!
"Back to the general, the key is in the hands of Master Liu!" said a guard!
"Go and call Zhang Gu, let him open the lock, and call Yin Cao at the same time!" Di Renjie ordered
Ling Dao!
"Yes!" A guard responded and ran out quickly!
After a while, Li Yuanfang heard a clattering sound, like the sound of a bunch of copper keys colliding with each other! Li Yuanfang whispered: "My lord, here comes!"
Di Renjie raised his head and looked out of the courtyard. After a while, a man dressed in an official uniform from the eighth rank came to the courtyard with a bunch of keys!
"Shuozhou Zhanggu Liuquan, a low-level post, sees you!" Zhanggu Liuquan walked up to Di Renjie and bowed to the ground!
"Get up! Open the Fukumen!" Di Renjie said!
"Yes!" Zhang Gu Liu Quan got up, walked quickly to the front of the Fuku Gate, tried a few keys, and finally opened the lock on the Fuku Gate!
Pushing open the door, Zhang Gu Liu Quan bowed and said, "My lord, please!"
Di Renjie stepped into the room and saw dust everywhere in the house, and spider webs in some places. Di Renjie took the lantern from Li Yuanfang's hand, shone it around, and said, "Come here, hold the lamp!"
The guard hurriedly entered the house and lit the oil lamp!
With the light, Di Renjie saw that there was nothing left in this mansion except for a few wooden boxes, and the iron official silver frame was also empty, already rusty!
When Di Renjie was wondering, another person came in outside the door, "Cao Wenliang, a low-ranking banker, knocks on the lord!"
"Well, get up!" Di Renjie said!
"Master Xie!" Yin Cao Wenliang stood up and stood aside respectfully!
"Silver Cao, why is this Shuozhou mansion so empty? Is there not a single coin of official silver in Shuozhou mansion?" Di Renjie asked!
"My lord, the official bank of the Shuozhou Prefecture has been requisitioned by the army that was fighting against the Turks! We have reported this matter to the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Households should also be registered and archived!" Yin Cao Wenliang replied!
"Oh! That's the case! I didn't expect this Shuozhou treasury to be so empty. It seems that this pavilion has to show the court to support you. Otherwise, if there is a sudden accident, this pavilion is worried that you will not be able to cope with it!" Di Renjie Say!
"Thank you, my lord for your concern! We have made a list of this matter. However, it is just like a mud cow entering the sea, and there is no news! Now that an adult personally intervenes, it will surely alleviate this urgent need!" Yin Cao knelt and said!
"Well, get up and talk! Where was the official bank of the court's consolation money stored?" Di Renjie asked!
"This..." Yin Cao and Zhang Gu looked at each other, hesitating about how to answer!
