"It didn't go very well. The clues were interrupted." Qin Jiyan couldn't help but frown when he thought of the boxes of banknotes.
Gu Qiancheng felt relieved after confirming that Qin Jiyan would not choose a concubine at the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet. She has known Qin Jiyan for so long, and of course she knows Qin Jiyan's character of being true to his word. If he said he would not choose a concubine at the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet, he would definitely not do it, even if the old emperor puts pressure on her.
The Gu family is really brave.
"Yes, the Gu family has always been realistic. Why bother bothering if it's no longer useful?" Gu Qiancheng knew what Qin Ji was angry about, but what did it have to do with her? The people she cared about about the Gu family were not in the capital. She didn't care about Qin Ji. How silent words tormented them.
Qin Jiyan rubbed the top of her hair lovingly, "It's not a big deal, it's just that I lose face by saying it. The treasury did not have much money before, but it later copied the properties of King Ning and King Zhao, as well as their subsidiaries The official’s family property has enriched the national treasury.”
"Are you free now? Aren't you going to the Feng family and the Yan family? There are also the Wu family, which you haven't met yet." Qin Jiyan certainly hopes that Gu Qiancheng can help. This case does not require contact with dead people and can make him famous. He just thinks of her. She had just returned to the capital and had a lot of social activities. She couldn't bear to be too busy, so she thought of letting Gu Qiancheng solve the case together after things progressed.
"How to take care of it? Who to take care of? Everyone is unclean. If the emperor has signs of taking action, ministers will immediately persuade him. If you want to take forceful action, it will affect the whole body. When the time comes, it will cause chaos in the court. Who can bear this responsibility? Responsibility?" Qin Jiyan couldn't help but shake his head when he thought of the difficulties faced by the court in the past few years.
"When the time comes, help the fifth prince." To deal with such trivial matters as the Gu family, it is better to let the fifth prince and Concubine Gu take action. There is no need for them to dirty their hands.
Qin Jiyan knew that Gu Qiancheng had a plan in mind, so he immediately agreed: "Tomorrow, I will send someone to pick you up."
Hearing the huge amount of silver lost in the treasury, Gu Qiancheng paused for a moment before saying, "How come there is so much money in the treasury?" I had heard before that the treasury was very poor and could not even raise money to defeat Northern Qi. Why did he turn around? , the national treasury has so much money
"Bring me a message to Gu Guifei, saying that the old man is going to send me into your backyard." Gu Qiancheng believed that after hearing this, Gu Guifei understood what the old man meant.
In his later years, although the emperor was not said to be fatuous, he was indeed inactive and extremely indulgent towards his courtiers.
Qin Jiyan told Gu Qiancheng all about the recent progress and his suspicions, without hiding anything. "Although nearly one million taels of gold were recovered, it is only a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of silver that was stolen from the national treasury."
Gu Qiancheng nodded and did not ask for specific details. He only said: "With so much money, as long as you are still in the capital, you will definitely be able to find it."
"Why don't you dare? The Qin Dynasty is rich but its wealth lies in its reputation. Those wealthy merchants in the south of the Yangtze River are all richer than the country." Qin Jiyan couldn't help but frown when he thought of the scene in the south of the Yangtze River.
"It's easy to find money, but it's hard to find the person behind the scenes. The counterfeit banknotes made by the other party are enough to look like the real thing. Unless the person is found, this kind of thing will happen again." Da Qin's treasury was finally full, but it couldn't survive Such a fuss.
If it weren't for the selfless dedication of King Ning and King Zhao, as well as the officials who rely on them, the national treasury would be very poor now, and it's hard to say whether it could support the great war in the northwest.
She is even richer than the emperor, so the emperor must be happy.
"Ah? You can't tell?" Gu Qiancheng understood immediately and stopped asking.
Qin Jiyan shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "It's not that I can't say it." It's because he didn't know how to say it. After all, it was not a glorious thing.
Jiangnan is a cancer of the Qin Dynasty and must be eliminated.
"If you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts. I will let people clearly convey the meaning of Mr. Gu to Concubine Gu and the Fifth Prince." People from the royal family are not so easy to bully. Although the Fifth Prince and Concubine Gu After losing power, it is not too difficult to kill a Gu family.
The quarrels between their brothers, uncles and nephews are their royal business. People from the royal family, when did it become the Gu family’s turn to pick the fat and the thin
"Prince Ning and Prince Zhao are really brave." Gu Qiancheng shook his head and silently lit wax for these two people seeking death.
"I'm just curious, you don't need to tell me." Gu Qiancheng swore that she really had no other thoughts.
Apart from the matter of choosing a concubine, Gu Qiancheng also paid attention to Qin Jiyan's recent work, "Your Highness, is the search for the missing money from the treasury not going well?" Looking at His Highness Qin's silent look, he knew that the matter was very difficult.
"..." Qin Jiyan did not speak, but looked at Gu Qiancheng silently.
"I accepted the Feng family's invitation, but I declined the Yan family's invitation. Going to the Feng family is just for a meal, and it won't be too busy. As for meeting the Wu family, it's not urgent. The Wu family is just outside the city. When We can meet them all." Gu Qiancheng is not ready to meet the Wu family yet, so he wants to slow down the matter.
Qin Jiyan didn't hide it from Gu Qiancheng. He had originally planned to involve Gu Qiancheng in this matter, but now he just decided to do it earlier.
"The Gu family wants to give up on them?" Qin Jiyan curled his lips and sneered, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Gu Qiancheng sighed softly, "But even if it is like this, it is strange that the treasury has no silver. Doesn't the emperor care?"
The counterfeit banknote is an important key to the case. If they can't tell the authenticity from the fake, how can they follow the clues
The emperor clearly knew that the court was full of chaos, and that the prince colluded with officials, bought and sold positions, and poached the court's money. However, for the sake of superficial peace, he pretended not to know anything and allowed King Zhou, King Zhao, and King Ning to form their own forces and fight openly and secretly...
Qin Jiyan looked at Gu Qiancheng's serious look and couldn't help but leaned forward and said seriously: "What's the matter?"
In other words, what the old emperor made was his son's wealth. The rich man in the world is not the old emperor, but the son of the old emperor.
There was no outside news about this matter. Except for Qin Jiyan's confidants, no one else knew anything about it. Gu Qiancheng couldn't find out even if he wanted to.
"Your Highness, if you don't mind, could you let me take a look at those banknotes?" Although there is no high-tech inspection equipment, it is very difficult to distinguish between true and false with the naked eye, but Gu Qiancheng still hopes that he can do his part. force.
Since he wants to participate in the case of missing money from the treasury, there is no need to avoid suspicion. After finishing the trivial matters about the Gu family, Gu Qiancheng asked about the details of the missing money case from the treasury, and where was the progress now
Instead of staying at Gu's house every day and playing tricks with the old man, she would rather face dead people or dead things.
"By the way..." Gu Qiancheng suddenly sat up, "Help me do something."
"Okay, I'll be prepared." Gu Qiancheng agreed cheerfully.
