Chapter 1931 Innocent Uncle Li Guo

In the hall, a bloated figure was sitting by the table, with a fat belly almost touching the edge of the table. Uncle Li Ye showed such a greasy image to Emperor Liu "in a big way".

In recent years, Li Ye's family property has doubled, and so has his weight. You must know that even if Li Ye was not handsome back then, he still had an extraordinary bearing, and even if he dressed up a little, he was also sanctimonious.

But now, fat head, big ears, old and greasy, it is disgusting to look at, and Emperor Liu feels even more disgusted when he looks at it. In his opinion, this is evidence of indulgence and depravity.

Starting to walk slowly in front of Li Ye, Emperor Liu had a cold face, but seeing his calm look, a mouthful of anger welled up in his heart.

"How long has it been since uncle came to the Chui Gong Palace?" Emperor Liu asked as calmly as possible.

Upon hearing the question, Li Ye replied somewhat reservedly: "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, sleeps all day long, sleeps all day long, and eats and clothes all day long. The old minister is just an idler, so I don't want to disturb you."

Li Ye's compliment was obviously tainted, and Emperor Liu frowned, took two steps closer, and stared at him condescendingly: "Uncle, is there still anger in your heart?"

"Don't dare!" Li Ye blurted out, but Emperor Liu's eyes were still full of oppression, and he looked away guiltily, and said, "The old minister is only shallow, why should he complain?"

Apparently, Li Ye had always been thinking about the "difficult appearance of the country's uncle" in his heart. Emperor Liu was not happy to see him.However, Emperor Liu had to be kind to Li Ye. After all, this was Empress Dowager Li's most beloved younger brother. When the Empress Dowager was still alive, she had repeatedly vaccinated Emperor Liu. Be as inclusive as possible.
In addition, these older generations of Li's relatives have passed away one after another, and their political influence has been continuously weakened. The only uncle left is Li Ye. Due to various reasons, as long as Li Ye does not overdo it, he will It is with one eye open and one eye closed.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Emperor Liu waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about the past for now! I'm summoned today, and I hope you can clarify something for me! I heard that my uncle's family has gained a lot from the business these years. , the family property is more than one million, why do you need to borrow from others?"

Hearing this, Li Ye was stunned for a moment, looked up at Emperor Liu in surprise, pondered a little, then cupped his hands and said, "Who and what is His Majesty referring to?"

"Corning!"

"It's true!" Li Ye was stunned, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked back: "I don't know what's wrong with this matter, but I have to ask His Majesty personally!"

"I have ordered people to arrest Kang Ning for interrogation!" Emperor Liu stared straight at Li Ye, paying attention to the change in his face.

However, Li Ye's reaction was somewhat beyond Emperor Liu's expectations. He was very calm, and after obviously thinking for a while, he cupped his hands and said, "Your majesty's intentions, this old minister understands a little bit! However, this old minister assures his majesty that no matter what happened to Kang Ning, I will be with you." The veteran has nothing to do with it! Kang Ning is a well-known merchant in the Han Dynasty, with a wide range of business. The old minister’s house also has some industries, some output in the field, and some trade cooperation between the two parties, with the help of Kang’s cavalry. The old minister and that Kang Ning are just normal Business dealings, that's all!"

"is it?"

Li Ye pondered for a while, and asked slowly: "May I ask Your Majesty, is there a regulation in the "Xing Tong" of the Great Han that private loans are not allowed?"

"Are you questioning me?" Emperor Liu said viciously with a serious face.

Li Ye was slightly startled, but there was no emotion on his face, and he said softly: "The old minister dare not."

Talking with Li Ye not only did not resolve Emperor Liu's doubts, but intensified his anger, especially Li Ye's "half-dead" performance and his attitude of having nothing to do with himself made Emperor Liu even more annoyed.

The spring in Luoyang is still warm, and it shines in the palace, adding a bit of magnificence. Li Ye dragged his fat body and leaned on crutches, walking slowly inside the palace wall, his old face full of ravines was full of contemplation.

Compared with the "relaxed" in front of Emperor Liu, Li Ye looked much more serious at this time, his mind was spinning rapidly, and he was silently pondering: "What did Kang Ning do? He caused His Majesty to ask him personally, Judging from the situation, it seems to be very serious."

Puzzled, Li Ye couldn't help but feel sad for a moment, but soon, a smile gradually appeared on that fat and ugly face.Li Ye's guarantee in front of Emperor Liu was also incomplete. The money transactions between other dignitaries and Kang Ning were different, but Li Ye was considered the most special one.

At the beginning, when I heard that Corning had opened a new "loan business", many dignitaries borrowed money from him, so Li Ye also moved his mind and asked people to come to the door to hint, so the [-] yuan was successfully used as a "loan" He entered Li Ye's house in name, but Li Ye never thought about paying back the money.

If there is a transfer of interests between Emperor Liu, Li Ye and Kang Ning, and any violation of law and discipline occurs as a result, Li Ye will be called wrong.Because Li Ye did not use his power to influence Kang Ning to do anything from the beginning to the end, and Kang Ning did not take the initiative to mention it. Receive a guarantee.

In the matter of rentiers, Uncle Li Guo is "innocent". He is indeed greedy, but he is greedy for "righteousness".As for the exchange of interests between other dignitaries and Kang Ning, breaking the law and discipline, it has nothing to do with Uncle Li Guo.

It's probably because he has gotten into the eyes of money all these years and is used to calculating. Although Li Yeren is very old, he is still clear-headed and his sense of smell is sharper than when he was in court.

The specifics of Kang Ning's incident are still unclear, but Li Ye is keenly aware that this test is not easy to pass, even a test of life and death.After all, it is needless to say how serious the problem is if the old emperor can pay attention to it and ask him in person.

And once Kang Ning can't pass this level, it will be interesting. At least, the wealth owned by Kang Ning is the envy of the "millionaire" Uncle Li Guo, and the industries, land, pastures, minerals, etc. Li Ye has also been envious of the commercial road for a long time.

On weekdays, the Kang family had a lot of contacts and involved too much, and they flattered themselves, so it was inconvenient to move lightly, but when the old emperor was gone, it was a god-sent opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

When the direction of consideration shifted, Uncle Li Guo became a little excited, and he hadn't had such a whim in more than ten years.After leaving the palace and returning home, Li Ye had already formed a clear idea in his mind. Kang Ning had already been arrested. Now that it started, it couldn't be stopped.

Not to mention that Kang Ning himself is not clean, even if he is innocent, he has to cause some problems. Moreover, he should not wait and see for too long. When it is time to take the initiative, he must not be soft-handed. He can also contact some people, the fat of the Kang family , There are not a few people who are greedy.

"Officials, Kang Ning has been arrested and is currently being imprisoned!" Wang Jien returned to his command in the Chuigong Palace, looking at the Emperor Liu who was silently sitting here, his excitement faded away, his eyes rolled, and he was indignant again typical:
"The officials may not know that today's small one is an eye-opener. In the past, I only heard about the wealth of the Kang family, but now I can finally see that the wealth of his mansion is beyond imagination. In the back garden of the Kang residence, there is a Buddhist hall, gold and silver. As a pillar, decorated with jade, a ten-meter-tall Buddha is actually carved out of pure gold, which is really jaw-dropping.”

Talking about what he had learned in Kang Zhai, Wang Jien's face glowed with brilliance, but Emperor Liu's reaction was unusually calm, he gave him a sideways look, and said, "I told you to arrest someone, are you confiscating the house?"

Hearing this, Wang Ji'en quickly calmed down, cupped his hands and said: "I was surprised to see the richness of the Kang family, I took a second look and forgot myself, and I ask the officials to forgive me!"

"Then what's Kang Ning's reaction?" Emperor Liu asked, looking away.

Wang Ji'en said: "There are some guards in Kang's house who want to resist arrest with weapons, but Kang Ning, even though he is wronged, stops his subordinates and restrains him honestly. It is ridiculous that Kang Ning wants to buy the little one with money and ask him about the situation. .”

"Aren't you tempted?" Emperor Liu glanced at Wang Jien.

Wang Jien was slightly startled, and immediately expressed a look of regret: "A small person who is on an official mission, how can he be confused by mere yellow and white things, and betray the trust of the government, but Kang Ning has made a wrong calculation!"

Emperor Liu smiled, and ordered calmly: "Go, take Kang Ning from the prison and hand it over to Dali Temple for trial!"
