In other words, neither Ji Dongliang's family nor Ding Qi's family had the greedy hundred thousand taels of silver.
"How is this possible?" The silver taels spent in the treasury of the household department are all real gold and silver. One hundred thousand taels of gold and silver is a huge sum, and a dozen boxes can't fit it. Ji Dongliang, how could it be possible for Ding Qi's family? They couldn't find the money, could it be that they didn't put the money at home, but put it somewhere else...
Ye Tianqi raised his eyes to look at Murong Ye, only to see Murong Ye shaking his head: "Ji Dongliang, Ding Qi and others' ancestral houses, houses under their names, and banks and other places where silver taels may be stored, the people in the household department are all concerned. Checked and found nothing...
Ye Tianqi: "...then where did they get the money..."
Murong Ye shook his head: "I don't know..." I guess I have to ask Ji Dongliang and Ding Qi...
Ye Tianqi looked at Murong Ye quite speechlessly: "...will they tell you?"
Murong Ye: "Of course not."
Ye Tianqi: "...then you still ask them?"
Murong Ye smiled embarrassedly: "I'm just making an analogy..."
Ye Tianqi was about to say something, when a cold female voice rang out first: "If you want to find out the whereabouts of the embezzled gold and silver, you can indeed start from Ji Dongliang and Ding Qi..."
When Murong Ye heard the words, his gaze fell on the person who spoke, that is, Murong Xue: "Sister means..."
Murong Xue's eyes dimmed: "At this point, we can be sure that Ji Dongliang and Ding Qi are indeed greedy for one hundred thousand taels of silver. One hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. It is impossible for Ji Dongliang and Ding Qi to hide it so closely. The people from the Ministry did not find it no matter how hard they searched, it is very likely that the one hundred thousand taels of silver was not in the hands of Ji Dongliang and Ding Qi..."
Ye Tianqi: "..."
"...Ji Dongliang and Ding Qi's greedy money is not in their hands, who has it?" Murong Ye was puzzled.
Murong Xue smiled slightly, and answered the wrong question: "There are more than Ji Dongliang and Ding Qi who are greedy for ink..." Ding Qi is only the chief builder of the Summer Resort, and he is in charge of the entire construction of the Summer Resort. Take out the account book that matches Ji Dongliang's account book. It can be seen that the bookkeepers of the Summer Resort should also be involved in corruption. There are also Ding Qi's direct subordinates and deputy directors who have a lot of contacts with Ding Qi. Entrusting him with many tasks, he probably knew in his heart how much money was used to build the summer resort...
Murong Ye: "...the scope of greedy ink has expanded..."
"Yes." Murong Xue nodded: One hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, even if a few more people share it, they can still get a lot of money. Therefore, when building a summer resort, it is possible for many people to be greedy...
Murong Ye: "...the people from the household department should have also checked the accountant of the Summer Resort, and the deputy person in charge..."
Corruption of one hundred thousand taels of ink is not a trivial matter. From the day Mr. He sued Ji Dongliang for corruption of ink, the household department has been in operation. They will thoroughly investigate the account room, but after more than ten days, the deputy person in charge, the account room in the villa is still quiet, and the account department has not moved. It can be seen that they have not found anything, that is to say, the money is not in the deputy person in charge. , accountant or something at home...
"If so, there is only one possibility left..."
