The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 290 The Crown Prince adds fuel to the flames

Pei Hao just wanted to curse, this little heartless guy.

Du Wan doesn’t care what Pei Hao thinks.

　　With a team of personal guards, he returned to the princess mansion.

　　Went to the main courtyard.

Meeting Du Liu outside, Du Wan asked: "Uncle Liu, is my eldest brother back yet? Do you know what he went to do?"

“The eldest young master hasn’t come back yet. I heard he has entered the palace.”

“Oh, if I had known that eldest brother had gone to the palace, I would have gone too.”

“…” Du Liu couldn’t answer this well.

The incident of the young master taking hundreds of personal guards and riding horses to and fro at the gates of various government offices has caused panic and has long been reported back to the mansion.

The gossip outside said that the princess was angry and wanted to avenge Prince Consort Du.

Du Wan went for a walk in the main courtyard.

He showed his face in front of the eldest princess. The prince-in-law was resting and Du Wan did not go in.

Du Wan thought this case would take a long time to investigate.

Unexpectedly, the results came out the next day.

This is the news Du Wan heard in the house. After the Ministry of Punishment took over the case, it quickly found the clues and then followed the clues. Once something has been done, there will always be traces left.

It will take time for the other party to erase the traces.

The motive for committing this crime is not difficult to find out, it is related to the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts.

The Ministry of Punishment found out about the right servant of the Ministry of Finance. When officers and soldiers came to arrest him, he had already hanged himself and left a confession. He admitted that he was worried about being found out for being corrupt, and for a moment he was obsessed with killing Prince Consort Du to silence him.

Du Qian stayed away all night last night and stayed overnight at the Criminal Department, just to watch them investigate the case.

The case was not made public so quickly. Du Qian came back and told his family.

 The family gathered together and were chatting about this matter.

Du Qian told the progress of the case. The details of the case were still confidential and had not been spread to the outside at all. Only Du Qian, who had been staring at those officials all day long, knew so clearly.

Du Wan asked: "The right servant confessed to all the crimes?"

"Yes, including the money that was stolen from Mo Mo, and the money that was confiscated was not up to the amount, there was still a big difference." Du Qian only felt that the people behind the scenes were stupid. How could one person be responsible for such a big thing? "Your Majesty, Let the Criminal Department continue the investigation and go to Tianlao to interrogate Wu Qian."

　　Du Huima said: "Wu Qian has a deep scheming mind and doesn't know how to recruit."

“Perhaps he is the one who is most greedy for ink.” The eldest princess interjected.

Hearing this, Du Wan nodded her head in agreement, "My mother is the smartest. Since my mother said so, the possibility is high."

The eldest princess smiled with her eyebrows curled up, very happy.

Du Qian glanced at his sister and felt that her sister had changed and became a little flattery.

After a long while, Prince Consort Du said with a hint of irony, "Wu Qian was too smart and cut off his only way to survive."

 The other three people all looked at Prince Consort Du.

Du Wan’s eyes were bright and she looked like she was asking for advice. Du Huima has been an official for more than ten years. Although he had a leisurely official position in the Ministry of Rites and didn't have much money, he was still a moderate official. He still knows more about official affairs than Du Wan and the others. Seeing that my children are interested in this, there are no outsiders now.

Du Consort then said: "If Wu Qian had learned from Zhou Zhang and others and honestly handed over his private property from the beginning, the emperor would not have gone out of his way to embarrass him. The problem was that he did not approach Wanwan and Du Qian at the first time. instead…"

 There is nothing wrong with negotiating with the emperor, it is not honest.

 Who would believe that he only handed over about one million private properties?

Although the emperor received 90% of the Wu family's wealth, he still cared about Wu Qian's private property. The national treasury has been replenished, but it still cannot make ends meet every year.

No, if the emperor is thinking about the prisoner, can there be a good ending?

Prince Consort Du lamented, "You won't know if you don't check, but you will be shocked when you check. A large chunk of the money on the front of the household is missing, and I don't even know where it went. It's a full 50 million taels. I can't find out what's going on behind the scenes." I don’t know how many accounts there are.”

Hearing this, the whole family was shocked.

Du Wan Lean thought about her pitiful little treasury, and suddenly became sad, "Are these people desperate for money? Everyone is so rich, why am I the only one poor?"

In the past, Du Wan thought that it was normal for the Qin State itself to be economically backward and not wealthy. Only now did Du Wan realize that just because the people are poor, it does not mean that the country is poor. Most of the wealth of the Qin Dynasty was concentrated in the hands of the powerful in the court.

 The family of four in Princess Mansion were talking about this matter.

 At the same time, in the palace.

 In the meeting hall, the emperor summoned Pei Hao alone.

Pei Hao told the emperor one by one about the investigation, and also revealed some things about Qin Yuyu, "Your Majesty, do you want to wait for Liu Jin to **** him to Beijing, or do you want to go and recognize each other now?"

"There's no rush. I've been waiting for more than ten years, not more than a day or two." When the emperor learned that the person was in the capital, he suppressed the excitement in his heart. He didn't want to make another joke in the end, so he decided to wait. "You said Is this girl the one Xie Zhang brought back from Chiyan County?"

"Yes, Wei Chen and others investigated Liu Jin's whereabouts and found Chiyan County. While pursuing clues, they encountered an assassination and relied on the princess's help to survive the difficulty. Therefore, they were very impressed by this matter. Then When the girl came to the capital, Xie Zhang took good care of her."

Pei Hao pretended to be unintentional and mentioned that he had investigated Xie Zhang's case.

 The secret files that have been investigated can still be found.

The emperor actually sent people to find out the information and read it again.

Even the emperor did not expect that his two daughters would become enemies with Wanwan.

Huang Lian hates Wanwan because Wanwan was implicated in the evil he committed. And this Qin Yuyu was also crooked and looked like a white-eyed wolf. Wanwan kindly saved her, but she was bitten back. The emperor wanted to find his only lost bloodline, but he couldn't help but wonder whether his bloodline was poisonous or...

 No, Wanwan also has royal blood.

If we talk about the Du family bloodline, the queen was also born in the Du family.

The emperor pressed down the file with a dark face, "Let's not talk about this matter for now. Let's talk about the case of the Ministry of Finance first. A mere right minister couldn't afford the money, so I asked the Ministry of Punishment to interrogate Wu Qian, but he still refused to confess. ."

“Your Majesty, have you ever thought that Wu Qian’s affairs are a bit abnormal?”

 “Huh? Tell me, what’s abnormal?”

"A death row prisoner shouldn't care so much about money, because if you don't bring it with you in life, you won't take it with you in death. Just like Zhou Changlu and others heard that they could exchange their private property for their lives, and they agreed without hesitation. Wouldn't they suspect that it was a trap? ? However, they are still willing to gamble on the slightest chance of survival."

Pei Hao spelled out the destination points one by one, "Only Wu Qian was strange and didn't agree. Later, although the trustee approached the princess, he only came up with a little private property. This private property was more like a man's private money. , not like a large amount of silver.”
