Chapter 65

"You've been there so long that you don't only know such a news?"

Ye Xiyue supported her chin and looked up and down at Xiao lie. She always felt that she had to go out with his ability. Even if she didn't see Xiao Yukun, she must know clearly.

Xiao lie raised his feet, casually lifted his clothes and sat down directly opposite her.

"Yu Kun was a minister in charge of the Ministry of household. A month ago, he followed the imperial edict and went south to relieve the disaster. The disaster in the South was serious, and the court allocated more than one million liang of funds. Half a month after he left, impeachment letters from local county officials were sent to the capital. There were more than a dozen letters one after another, all of which impeached him for taking bribes and perverting the law and embezzling the disaster relief funds. Now the matter is handed over to the crown prince. The Ministry of punishment sent someone to the south to investigate the disaster 10 days ago. The evidence is conclusive Three days ago, Yu Kun was ordered to return to Beijing. As soon as he entered the city gate, he was detained by the Ministry of punishment. "

Misappropriation of disaster relief funds

This crime is really big!

Ye Xiyue pursed her lips. Her eyes fell on Xiao lie's handsome face and raised her eyebrows. "Do you believe Xiao Yukun?"

Xiao lie nodded naturally, "Yu Kun is an honest official. He will never do such a thing, and he is very smart and never does stupid things!"

It's really stupid for the whole court to embezzle the disaster relief money!

"What is the general going to do?"

If Xiao Yukun is really innocent, and the people of the Ministry of punishment go south to investigate and find conclusive evidence, the people behind the scenes must have made great efforts to plant and deal with Xiao Yukun.

Even if Xiao lie goes to the emperor for a thorough investigation, he may not find anything.

In this way, it's really troublesome!

Xiao lie frowned, his lips closed tightly, and didn't speak for a long time.

Ye Xiyue kept looking at him and estimated that it was really difficult. Even the Zhenguo general was afraid it would be difficult to solve it perfectly.

"I'm going to go south by myself and investigate the whole matter."

After a while, Xiao lie finally opened his mouth, but what he said made Ye Xiyue's face show a trace of surprise.

"Will you agree today?"

"No."

Ye Xiyue was choked by his words, and the answer was really crisp.

She frowned. "Since you won't agree today, how can the general go? You don't want to sneak over to investigate? You're a general of Zhenguo. Can you leave Beijing without authorization?"

The tiger talisman in Xiao lie's hand can mobilize 200000 troops. He leaves Beijing without authorization. If the emperor thinks he has some evil thoughts, it's hard to explain at that time.

Like in ancient times, this kind of general with military power is not easy for emperors to fear!

Xiao lie was about to explain when he heard hurried footsteps outside the door. He closed his mouth in time, and his sight turned to the direction of the door.

Ye Xiyue listened to the eager footsteps and didn't have to guess who it was.

The door was suddenly pushed open, and aunt Zheng's swollen face suddenly appeared at the door.

She came at a trot, sweating and her hair in a disorderly bun.

"Lie'er, where's Yu Kun? Why didn't he come back with you!"

Aunt Zheng's tone was somewhat questioning. Seeing that there was no Xiao Yukun in the room, her face immediately pulled down, but she was worried about Xiao lie and didn't dare to go too far.

Ye Xiyue glanced sarcastically. She thought the punishment department was opened by Xiao lie. She could bring people back if she went there?

Tut Tut, that's fantastic!

Xiao lie, with a cold light in his black eyes, looked at Aunt Zheng with a cold voice: "I'll go to the punishment department, and Yu Kun can come back with me. My aunt thinks highly of me."

The cold words pierced aunt Zheng's heart like a sharp blade, and her face suddenly became ugly.

"You are a town general, and even the people in the criminal department are unfair? Lie'er, if you have a problem with your aunt, just say it. Kun'er is your own brother. Are you so cruel to kill him?"

Aunt Zheng's voice suddenly rose. In her opinion, Xiao lie didn't bring people back on purpose.

"I know you have always hated my existence, but lie'er, the master didn't marry me until five years after your mother died. The master's right wife has always been your mother's. in the final analysis, I have nothing to be sorry for you. Kun'er is also the master's blood, so you have the heart to let him suffer in the criminal department?"
