"The Ministry of Household Statistics originally counted nearly one million. What about the remaining 50 taels?"

Two soul tortures in a row.

Cold sweat broke out behind Wei Dai's back.

how could I know!

I know I dare not say it!

Wei Daigui guessed what was going on, but did he dare to say it?

He dare not.

I just took office, and there are many political enemies in the court because of my grandfather Wei Chong.

However, these political enemies are all gentry.

It's okay to have evidence, but he has no evidence.

If you say this, isn't that courting death?

Just come and impeach someone, and there will be a chain reaction immediately.

What is he here for?

A Tobe Shangshu experience card?

"I...I don't know."

When he said this, Wei Dai didn't dare to raise his head.

In the court, among the civil and military officials, some were cold-eyed, some were full of sarcasm, and no one came out to speak for him.

Even Xu Maogong and Wei Zheng, who usually speak actively, remained silent.

But no one doubted it.

Everyone knows that.

The problem is that there is no evidence.

At this time when the two of them stood up, Baiguan felt strange and would be very cautious.

"do not know?"

Yang Zhao's face was frosty at the moment:

"I ordered you to be the Minister of the Household Department, and now I have lost the silver, don't you know?"

"Come here! Drag it down for me and cut it off!"

After Yang Zhao finished speaking, a group of imperial guards stepped forward, saying that they would delay Wei for the price.

At this time, Wei Dai price was trembling all over, and shouted in his mouth:

"Your Majesty, have mercy! Your Majesty, have mercy!"

boom!

Yang Zhao was furious about the dragon case.

"I raised a waste like you!"

"Forgive me! Hmph! As the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, you don't go to investigate the loss of silver taels, and tell me that you don't know!"

Wei waited fiercely to break away from the imperial army, knelt on the ground, and said quickly:

"The bank officials missing in the ledger are suspected to be the work of officials in the Jiangnan area!"

As soon as these words came out, the court fell silent instantly.

A lot of people stared at Wei Daiqi in an unkind way.

The families behind them are all in the Jiangnan area, and Wei Daigui's words are equivalent to offending them.

If you don't give a reason, you will be impeached!

Yang Zhao waved his hand to let the imperial army back down, motioning for Wei Daigui to continue.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I checked the list yesterday and found that all the northern officials are correct, only the Jiangnan area is missing."

"So, the missing bank balance must have been concealed by the officials in Jiangnan at that time!"

After speaking, Wei Daigui sat on the ground as if he had collapsed.

It finally came out.

He has no regrets.

Anyway, I am not welcome to see myself.

Offend it.

Better than almost dying, right?

At this moment, the right servant of the Shangshu shot Feng Deyi couldn't bear it anymore, and said:

"Oh? So, Mr. Wei has evidence?"

"There is no evidence, so don't talk nonsense."

Feng Deyi squinted his eyes, showing a strong sense of threat.

Wei Daigui didn't care about these things at this time, he was about to lose his life for these corrupt officials, and immediately retorted:

"Lord Feng, Your Majesty has repeatedly issued five orders. There must be a list for donations, but there is no one in the Jiangnan area."

"And the North Bank is all-round, which is enough to explain the problem."

The appearance of Feng Deyi immediately caused Chaotang to explode.

"Master Wei, don't talk nonsense, how do you know it must be in the Jiangnan area, show evidence!"

"Yes, show me the evidence!"

"Master Wei, you are the Secretary of the Household Department. You must be responsible for your speech. If there is no evidence, you'd better be cautious in your words and deeds."

"Shangshu Hubu's methods of slandering people are really clever, and he dares to speak nonsense without evidence!"

"Your Majesty, I believe that the Minister of the Household Department uttered wild words, and the crime of losing silver is unforgivable. Your Majesty, please kill this house! To make an example to others!"

"My minister agrees!"

A group of officials talked a lot, and Wei Daiji was dumbfounded.

What virtue and ability do I have? When I reached the second rank, I frightened the fourth rank, and I was attacking him.

Yang Zhao watched all this coldly, and sneered in his heart.

This group of aristocrats really hide deep enough.

I usually don't say a word when something happens, and I think I'm dumb.

Now that their own interests are involved, everyone is eloquent, and they don't look like incompetent people.

"quiet!"

Zhang Heng slammed the long whip in his hand to the ground, and issued a warning with a sharp voice.

The court was quiet for a while.

Feng Deyi took a step forward, bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, Minister of the Household Department, Wei Daigui, has no evidence to slander officials in the south of the Yangtze River. I believe that he should be severely punished!"

The internal envoy Lu Qi followed closely behind:

"Your Majesty, I believe that the loss of the silver may not necessarily be in the Jiangnan area, but it may also be that someone from the Ministry of Households obstructed it and deliberately destroyed the list. This matter needs to be investigated."

Lu Qi's words made the eyes of all the officials shine, and they all stepped forward and began to reprimand Wei Daiqi.

"Your Majesty, as the Secretary of the Household Department, Wei Daigui cannot escape the blame, and should be strictly investigated, and should be severely punished for improper management of the Household Department!"

"Wei Daigui has lost the responsibility of the Minister of the Household Department, he should be removed from the position of the Minister of the Household Department, dismissed from his post and put in prison!"

"It can be handed over to Chen Dali Temple."

Cui Rong, the minister of the Ministry of Rites and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, directly advised Wei Daigui to be interrogated.

Yang Zhao scanned for a week, and found that all of them were from the aristocratic families in the Jiangnan area.

Especially Cui Rong, if he remembered correctly, it should be the Cui family of Qinghe in Jizhou, one of the important members of the Guanlong Group.

"Xu Gong, what do you think?"

Ignoring the group of people, Yang Zhao looked at Xu Maogong.

"Returning to Your Majesty, all parties in this matter insist on their own opinions, and there is no evidence to directly prove it. Strict investigation is needed."

Xu Maogong's words can be regarded as not offending both parties, and they have nothing to do with it.

But did not give an accurate answer.

"Is it the same with Duke Wei?"

The disappointment in Yang Zhao's eyes could not be concealed, and he looked at Wei Zheng.

"My minister agrees."

Feng Deyi watched this scene and was secretly delighted.

Xu Maogong and Wei Zheng are deeply loved by the emperor, but they don't want to get involved in this mess.

In the final analysis, Xu Maogong was also from a noble family, while Wei Zheng was born in a poor family, and he was single and weak. In this matter, Xu Maogong must be the leader.

Looking at each other with Lu Qi, the two already had a conclusion in their minds.

They actually knew the ins and outs of this matter in their hearts, but what they had to do was to muddy the water.

In the end, it was the two sides wrangling.

Chapter 295 Yang Zhao, fell ill?

Feng Deyi chuckled secretly, his plan had succeeded.

The officials in the Jiangnan area had long been at loggerheads with him and Lu Qi, and they had benefited a lot from this matter.

At the same time, I have already made a decision in my heart.

No list means no evidence.

Hubu Shangshu is also the grandson of Wei Chong, who was originally everyone's political enemy.

To deal with it, there is no pressure at all.

There are so many of them, they don't just say what they say.

As for the beheading, before the matter is investigated, Wei Daiqi is not in danger of his life.

Most of the people in the court are also nobles, and they will help cover up such things.

Even if His Majesty asks Wei Dai to investigate, there will be nothing to find out.

Wei Daigui was the only one who had the accident.

The big deal is to keep wrangling, and your household is not clean.

We are all of one kind.

Yang Zhao noticed Feng Deyi's eyes, and already made up his mind.

It seems that it is not enough to just rely on Wei Daiqi alone.

Who will add to the fire?

"Your Majesty, the veteran believes that the Minister of the Household Department is suspected of dereliction of duty. No matter what the result is, Wei Daigui cannot escape the blame and should be punished."

A deep voice came, and everyone looked at it, and Feng Deyi and others were overjoyed.

It's my uncle Xiao Yu!

Yang Zhao frowned, looking displeased.

"Uncle Guo, it's not clear at this time, I'm jumping to conclusions, how should all the officials in the world think of me."

He didn't have a good look at his mother's younger brother.
