Traveling through books to ancient times, I provoke the love of villains and powerful ministers

Wang Minzhong, the chief envoy of Shaanxi Province, died, and there was an uproar in the family due to family property disputes. Everyone in Shaanxi knows about it.Wang Lang, an old friend from Northwest China, came to Beijing with Liu Yong this time. If you want to know more details, you can ask him.

Qi Qingxi looked at this letter and was really puzzled. Shao Hua sent a letter from thousands of miles away to tell her such a gossip about someone else's family. Qi Qingxi felt a little unbelievable.

But Qi Qingxi understood Shao Hua's personality, so he would not write this letter to her for no reason, and told Liu Yong that this letter was very important and must be delivered to her personally.

Shaanxi chief envoy Wang Minzhong.

Qi Qingxi didn't know much about official affairs, and had never heard of the name of the Chief Executive.

After thinking about it for a while, Qi Qingxi decided to ask Li Wenkang about it.

Not to mention that Li Wenkang once served in the Northwest, and this post of chief minister can be regarded as a high official in the frontier. Li Wenkang must know this chief minister of Wang Minzhong.

Qi Qingxi took this letter with only a few words to find Li Wenkang.

On New Year's Eve, it was the time for the reunion of thousands of families. As the commander of the Jingwei, Li Wenkang shouldered the duties of guarding the palace and guarding the city gates. He had a heavy responsibility. At this time, he had to be extra cautious and not make mistakes.

Therefore, when Li Wenkang came back from Yue's house, he immediately went to the study, and took out the defense map of the capital and the imperial city during the Spring Festival and looked over it carefully.

Just as he was watching intently, there was a knock on the door.

"Uncle, may I come in?"

Li Wenkang heard Qi Qingxi's voice outside the door, he put down the defense map in his hand, rubbed his tired eyes: "It's Qingxi, come in."

Upon hearing this, Qi Qingxi pushed the door open and went in.

"What can I do with my uncle?" Li Wenkang said with a smile on his face.

Qi Qingxi didn't beat around the bush, she cut to the chase and said, "Uncle, do you know Mr. Wang Minzhong, the chief envoy of Shaanxi Province?"

Shaanxi chief envoy Wang Minzhong and Li Wenkang have dealt with him several times.

This person is very sophisticated and smooth in speaking, and he is keen on power, and likes to flatter and flatter Shangguan.

In terms of political achievements, he is mediocre, and he can neither find faults nor outstanding achievements in doing things.

Wang Minzhong has been the magistrate of Fengxiang Mansion for decades, but he has not made any progress since then.

During the border turmoil in the past two years, the Northwest Army was unprepared, and it was difficult to raise a large amount of military pay for a while.

At that time, Wang Minzhong, the prefect of Fengxiang Prefecture, voluntarily donated all his wealth and paid for the soldiers, which relieved the urgent needs of the Northwest.

The Holy One was so grateful for his virtue that he promoted him to be the chief envoy of Shaanxi.

It was also because of Wang Minzhong's bad luck, he had passed away within two years of his promotion, and he happened to be there on the day of his enshrinement as stated in the will.

Li Wenkang was a little puzzled, why did his niece suddenly ask him?

Hearing Li Wenkang talk about the life of this Wang Buzheng, Qi Qingxi suddenly understood the meaning of the letter written by Shao Hua.

"Qingxi knows Lord Wang Minzhong?" Li Wenkang asked.

Qi Qingxi handed the letter in his hand to Li Wenkang: "Uncle, please read this first."

Li Wenkang took the letter suspiciously, opened it and read it for a long time. After the death of the old man, the children and grandchildren in the family fought for family property, which was very common, but he didn't understand what it meant.

Li Wenkang didn't understand it, but Qi Qingxi understood the meaning of the letter after listening to Li Wenkang's words.

There is a problem with this Wang Minzhong.

"Uncle, you just said that Mr. Wang has donated all his wealth. Since he has donated everything, there must be no money left in the family. Then what are the nephews and nephews fighting for?" Qi Qingxi explained He said, "But if there is a property dispute, where did Mr. Wang get such a large inheritance after donating all his belongings?"

After listening to Qi Qingxi's words, Li Wenkang fell into deep thought.

The entire net worth donated by Wang Minzhong at that time supported the expenses of the Northwest Army for nearly a month. You must know that the Northwest Army has several 10 people, which can be described as a huge donation.

At that time, many people discussed this matter, thinking that this Wang Minzhong was a fool, and the court did not force him to donate money. Such a large sum of money was not left to future generations.

At the same time, there are many voices of doubt, Wang Minzhong is a mere magistrate, and he is not from a wealthy family, how did he get such a large amount of money.

It's just that the war in the northwest was tight at that time, the emperor didn't care about these things, all the ministers also focused on the war, and few people mentioned this matter after that.

Is there really something wrong with Wang Minzhong's family property?

But there is a more important problem.

Li Wenkang looked at the letter in his hand sharply. Who sent the letter, and what purpose did the sender send the letter to his niece.

Li Wenkang looked at Qi Qingxi, withdrew his stern eyes, and said softly with a smile in his eyes: "Where did this letter come from?"

"Uncle, do you still remember Mr. Shao who opened the shop with me? He entrusted someone to bring the letter. His family has a lot of business in the northwest, and he knows more about things there."

"Well." Li Wenkang smiled, "But you have never been to the Northwest, why did he write such a letter to you?"

That's right, why did Shao Hua tell her about this on purpose?Unless it's about her.

But just like her uncle said, she had never been to the Northwest, and she had never heard of Wang Minzhong, and what would it have to do with her.

Qi Qingxi bit her lip and thought about it for a long time, and suddenly she felt blessed.

Recently, there is only one thing related to her, related to the Northwest, and related to money, and that is the military salary corruption case related to Uncle Gu Yu.

Qi Qingxi suddenly had a bold idea, she leaned forward and whispered: "Uncle, do you think that the embezzlement case of the military salary by Marquis Shen was actually committed by Wang Minzhong, but they planted it on Marquis Shen?" .”

Li Wenkang raised his eyes to Qi Qingxi in surprise, the girl really hit the mark if he couldn't keep it clean.

If this matter is really related to the case of Marquis Shen, then you really have to ask Wang Lang about what he said in his letter.

But Li Wenkang is really busy these days, and he has to visit the imperial city again after having a New Year's Eve dinner with his family.

Li Wenkang said: "Let's do this, after a few days, you can find someone to bring that Wang Lang over to ask about the situation, and see what's going on, and then we'll make plans for the next step."

Qi Qingxi was a little curious: "Uncle, if it really involves Marquis Shen after asking, what are you going to do?"

The best way to do this is to report to the emperor, and let the emperor decide.

But this matter is nothing more than their doubts and guesses, and it is only this gossip from other people's family. How could the emperor believe that a loyal minister he once personally identified was actually a corrupt person based on these.

And if this Wang Minzhong is really involved in the embezzlement case of military pay, I'm afraid he will pull out the carrot and bring out the mud.

Therefore, this matter cannot be made public for the time being. They have to investigate the matter clearly and obtain conclusive evidence before presenting the matter to the emperor for the emperor to decide.
