Chapter 218

Xu Shian bowed, slowly picked up the account book that Emperor Yan fell on the table and put it back in front of Emperor Yan, "please listen to me, your majesty. This is the tenancy payment paid by Liangtian in the suburbs of Beijing. Yes, but the next payment is the same amount..."

Emperor Yan was such a smart man. Before Xu Shian finished his words, he immediately understood, grabbed the account book and looked at it again.

"The tenant paid ten liang of silver, which was recorded by the Ministry of household, and the Treasury received the same ten Liang. All this seemed very right, but the Ministry of household immediately allocated the same amount of money to buy the food, grass and weapons needed by the Department of war and horses."

At this point, there is no need to go on.

As long as you are not blind, as long as you are not stupid, the key orifices are clear at a glance.

They scraped off a layer of oil and water from the tenants, and then went through the household department to fill up the accounts receivable on the book, but then they would ask the military department to add food and grass. After the military department approved the weapons to be purchased, they asked the household department for money, and then the household department allocated money to buy food and grass.

The process is linked and impeccable, but Xu Cheng is at the end!

The money comes in from the household and then comes out from the household. How much it costs depends on one mouth. This is equivalent to Xu Cheng's trick of leaving his pocket and entering his right pocket in full view of the public!

But such a clumsy trick has deceived everyone!

At the moment, Emperor Yan also saw it clearly. His face was as dark as ink. His evil eyes looked at Xu Shian, "is this account book true?"

It's no wonder Emperor Yan suspected that the last loss suffered by Princess Shen was a lesson from the past.

Xu Shian knelt on the ground and vowed, "Your Majesty, it's absolutely true that this account book and his father's own seal will not be false."

Everyone's seal is unique. This is something that Xu Cheng regards as a treasure. If we didn't set up a bureau today, I don't know when we can get this important evidence.

Emperor Yan turned it over and saw Xu Cheng's seal on the account book. Emperor Yan's face gradually cleared up, but a pair of dark eyes stared at Xu Shian tightly, as if to see some clues from his face, "Xu Cheng is your father. Do you know that doing so is to trap the whole Xu family in injustice?"

Hearing the speech, Xu Shian's head dropped lower. "I naturally know, but I know better in my heart that loyalty and filial piety can't be perfect since ancient times. Moreover, my father made such a terrible mistake and I don't know how to repent. I just hope your majesty can give the Xu family a way to live in the future."

After a long time, when Xu Shian's heart was at sixes and sevens, the corner of his eyes swept to Emperor Yan's Dragon boots. Emperor Yan actually came over, bent down and helped him up personally, with appreciation on his face. "Xu Shizi is worthy of being a loyal and patriotic person. I promise you that Xu Cheng's affairs have nothing to do with the rest of your Xu family."

"At dawn, I'll arrest Xu Cheng..." Emperor Yan's words were only half said, and Xu Shian hurriedly interrupted.

"Your Majesty, never. My father works carefully and has the support of the Empress Dowager. If I can't succeed in one blow, I'm afraid it's even more difficult to get his mistakes in the future. I have an idea."

Yan Di smiled even more happily, "Oh? Tell me about it. "

"Your Majesty might as well quietly call the Minister of household into the Palace first. No matter what method you use, as long as you pry open his mouth and there are both human and material evidence, you are not afraid of your father's denial."

Emperor Yan looked at him with appreciation, "well, it makes sense. The Minister of household has tried so hard to prove Xu Cheng's innocence. He must have taken a lot of benefits. OK, just do as you say!"

At the thought that his heart knot for many years was about to be untied. Emperor Yan also relaxed a lot. Xu Shian was not surprised and sat there quietly all the time.

Many years later, Emperor Yan will still think of everything today. In the brightly lit Tai Chi hall, a young man sitting upright was pulled by candles and his shadow swayed like the wind. At that time, he didn't know that this seemingly weak body would become a sad dream in the future

"You've solved my big trouble. Have you thought about what you want? Don't worry, Duke Xu's hereditary title is still yours. Think about something else first. "

Emperor Yan thought he could control the Xu family. It doesn't matter to give more rewards.

"Your Majesty longen, it's my duty."

Emperor Yan's face did not change when he heard the speech, but his eyes suddenly became sharp.

He is as smart as Xu Shian. He knows very well that his majesty is suspicious by nature. He helped him achieve such a great event. If you don't give him a reward, it will not only arouse his Majesty's suspicion in vain, but may even lead to death for himself.

"Please allow your majesty to think about it first, and then ask your majesty for a reward."

As a minister, you don't need to be too smart. Even if you are smart, you can't show it in front of your majesty. Smart people are often short-lived and mediocre talents can live long.

Sure enough, when Emperor Yan heard him say so, his eyes became docile again, "OK, I promise you what reward you need. Tell me when you think about it. As long as it's not too much, I will meet you."

"Thank you for your grace."

After coming out of the palace, Xu Shian returned the same way. Only when he passed Baihu street, he opened the curtain and ordered the coachman, "go to Shenjun palace."

The royal residence of Shenjun county is located in the street of Nanjie street. The geographical location here is extremely superior. It faces south and is close to the palace. When your majesty rewarded this house, it attracted the red eyes of many people.

But now, compared with the busy streets, the autumn wind at the gate of the palace is bleak and desolate.

The white elegy on the gate is still hanging outside the door today, perhaps for fear of bad luck. People in the past walk around unless they have to.

The Shenjun palace, which is usually crowded, suddenly became depressed and few people.

The carriage stopped at the gate of Shenjun palace. At this time, the fish belly was exposed in the sky. Pedestrians in twos and threes had gone out. The coachman knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered.

"Shizi, I heard that the servant was dismissed by the prince Shen's residence before. Now it seems that the rumor is true. It is estimated that there is no one in it."

It's really easy to let a famous aristocratic family decline. Just break its root. The usual majestic Shenjun palace is because Bai Xiyan supports them. Now the beauty disappears and dies. Everything is like a dream and disappears in an instant.
