Chapter 1949

Liangzhou is not far from Ho City, the provincial capital, because it is the first place to enjoy a series of policies implemented by Yuxi to benefit the people, so the people here have a good life. The position of Liangzhou magistrate is also a lack of wealth.

Qiyou didn't make a private visit, but first went to find the garrison leader stationed in Ho City. He called 100 elite soldiers with the leader of the garrison and then went to Liangzhou.

Zhao Qian was very worried: "Mr. Wang, what should we do if we make a mistake At that time, it won't be a good ending.

"It's better to make a mistake." If you make a mistake, you will be able to roll him off as the left servant of the Ministry of punishment. In the future, he will be as free as his third brother.

In fact, Qiyou has always admired Qixuan and can go wherever he wants. Unlike him, he has to report more days out of Beijing. It's not free.

In fact, Qiyou knows that even if he makes a mistake, Qihao won't do it. At most, he was scolded, and then sprayed twice by the censor.

Zhao Qian: don't guess what Wang Ye is thinking. He can't figure it out. So don't bother to think about it.

When he arrived in Liangzhou, Qiyou went to Zhao Lifu, the prefect of Liangzhou, and said he wanted to check the bank.

Checking the bank is a national event. Of course, Zhao Lifu opposes it. Even if Qiyou is the king, he will not give in.

Zhao Lifu said righteously: "Lord, our bank is heavily guarded, and the people who come in and out of the bank should also be strictly checked. Mr. Wang, there is absolutely no problem with the bank. "

No matter how strict the guard is, there are loopholes to be drilled. Qiyou doesn't talk nonsense with him, but takes out the imperial edict directly. Now, Zhao Lifu did not dare to object any more.

Qiyou is a man of vigorous and resolute spirit. He took people to the bank now.

Whether it is a provincial or state capital, the silver stored in the Treasury is to maintain the daily expenses, so there is a limit. For example, the amount of silver stored in Liangzhou bank is 200000 Liang. If there are too many, they will be escorted to the capital. This is also the reason why the Ministry of household must allocate funds when there are large local expenditures.

Ten taels of official silver is a ingot, and 200000 taels of official silver is 20000 taels of official silver. Qiyou directly asks his personal guard to check.

Qiyou was not idle either. He took a silver spindle from the shelf from time to time. Take a silver spindle from a shelf and put it back after reading it. To the silver spindle on the 18th shelf, Qiyou felt wrong as soon as he held it in his hand.

At this time, Zhao Qian said: "Lord, we have checked ten thousand, twenty thousand pieces of official silver, a lot." When he said this, Zhao Qian had endless worries in his eyes. I don't know how to end it!

Zhao Lifu now straight waist: "Lord, I have long said that the bank is impossible to have a problem."

Qiyou chuckled, and then handed the silver to Zhao Lifu: "you've seen this ingot of silver. It's not too late to talk big." There is something wrong with this silver spindle.

Zhao Lifu also felt that he was not right with the silver. Now he turned it over to have a look. This look, almost not scared to death. There are words or patterns on the bottom of official silver, but this ingot of silver does not.

Without waiting for Zhao Lifu to speak, Qiyou called a guard to break the silver spindle.

When Zhao Lifu saw the black thing in the silver spindle, he turned his eyes and fainted.

Qi you turns his mouth and thinks that his mental quality is really poor. However, in view of Zhao Lifu's previous performance, Qiyou felt that the silver was swapped, and he should not have participated in it. If not, I would not be black all the time.

After verification, 30000 taels of 200000 taels of silver have been swapped. At present, Qiyou is more and more convinced that Zhao Lifu is not aware of this matter.

Zhao Lifu has been the magistrate of Liangzhou for five years. It is impossible for him to spend five years stealing 30000 taels of silver from the bank. You know, as a magistrate, if you give some convenience to a businessman, you can get twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver. The crime of embezzling money from the State Treasury is much more serious than the crime of using one's power to get money.

With this idea, Qiyou told the magistrate: "control the relevant personnel immediately, and find out as soon as possible who changed the silver in the vault."

Zhao Lifu was forgiven for this. Qi you let him hear the case, is to believe that he did not know about it. At that time, they will be charged with dereliction of duty or unfavorable supervision. This accusation, at most, is that losing an official will not endanger one's life: "it's the Lord, I'll deal with it."

After that, Qiyou let go.

Zhao Qian said: "the Lord is really anticipating. It's better to spread this out, and the name of the detective will be established. "

When he saw that there was no shortage of silver, he was very worried. Because if Qiyou's judgment is wrong, it will affect his official career.

The master's status directly determines the future of these followers. The emperor's former close followers, such as Zhao Hui, are now officials of liupin. He didn't dare to compare with Zhao Hui, but he also hoped that Qiyou's career would be more smooth and his official career would be bigger and bigger. In this way, these people are upright when they go out, and it is particularly convenient for them to go out to work. On the contrary, if the master is an idle prince, he will not be able to find someone to do business.

Qi you glanced at Zhao Qian and said, "I can't even compare with Yuan Bilin. I'm not afraid of flashing your tongue." The case that he solved also has the element of luck.

Of course, this is Qiyou's modesty. The most important thing to solve these cases is that he is conscientious and responsible, and luck is only a small part.

Within three days, the case was solved. The thirty thousand taels of silver were the result of the conspiracy of the two storekeepers of the Treasury. Later, the spoils were divided unevenly, and the man named Dinghu killed the other accomplice. Kill someone and plant it on another colleague. The man had a grudge against the dead. When he was arrested, he held a knife in his hand, and Ding Hu testified. The evidence was as solid as a mountain, and it was soon decided.

The day has eyes, the night has ears. Li Ershi, a calligrapher, accidentally found out that Li Ershi had blackmailed Ding Hu instead of telling the magistrate. Ding Hu can steal the official silver and kill his accomplice. How can he be threatened by Li Ershi. I don't want to do anything but kill Li Ershi. This time, he didn't do it by himself. Instead, he bought a man and killed Li Ershi.

As for the military service in the bank, he had an affair with other people's wives and was hacked to death by their husbands, which had nothing to do with the case.

After reading Ding Hu's confession, Qi you asked curiously, "why didn't it say how he changed the bank?" Since the guard is strict, how did this man exchange money under the eyes of the public. Qiyou is also curious about this.

Zhao Lifu coughed and said: "because of some indecency, this paragraph has been omitted."

Hearing that he was using * * to bring out the silver spindle, Qiyou asked inconceivably, "how did he put in such a big silver spindle? Moreover, even if the walking posture is definitely wrong, can the court official check it? "

Zhao Lifu explained: "Ding Hu's father was a treasury soldier of the former dynasty. This is their unique skill. " The so-called unique skills also need to be practiced from an early age. Ding Hu began to practice at the age of three.

"Do you want to check the relevant families in the bank for three generations?" However, it is not eligible.

Zhao Lifu said: "the Ding family spent some money and then got the job." Who would have thought that Ding Hu was so bold that he dared to steal money from the state treasury. If not, people would not dare to accept his money and arrange him to be a storehouse soldier.

The case is clear. Ding Hu is beheaded and made public. The Ding family and the accomplice who was killed by Ding Hu are all exiled. Those involved in the case will also be dealt with more seriously. The relevant officials were all demoted to three levels.

Zhao Lifu and other officials hated Ding Hu to the bone, so their families all died on the road. Of course, that's the end of the story.

At the end of the case, Qiyou is not in a hurry to return to Beijing. I went to Ho City and lived in the palace.

As he walked, Qiyou looked at the scenery in the palace and said, "time flies. It's been more than ten years since he left the city." He was only fifteen when he left. Now, I'm a father.

Zhao Qian said with a smile: "fortunately, everything here has not changed." It's cleaned every day. Everything is clean. It's just that it's unpopular and seems a little cold.

Qiyou revisited the palace, and then returned to his former courtyard. The next day, I went shopping.

After staying in Ho City for half a month, Qiyou returned to Beijing. It's also because Kai Hao sent people to urge him three times, otherwise he would like to stay for another half a month.

Back in the capital, it's already mid October. At this point, the leaves are beginning to turn yellow.

Qi Hao saw him and said, "the Ministry of accounts has started to send people to check the situation of banks in various places." If we find out the problem earlier, we can solve it earlier.

He would not intervene in the affairs of the Department of household affairs: "in two days, I want to take brother Xu to Xiangshan to see the maple trees." Now in late autumn, maple leaves are all red.

Kai Hao said with a smile: "Meng Xuemin has written his resignation, and I have approved it."

"Old man Meng is less than 60 years old. I saw him eat incense before. Why is he so sick this time?" Finish saying, Qi you looked at Qi Hao suspiciously: "big brother, can't you give him a hint?"

Kai Hao didn't speak, just glanced at Kai you.

Qiyou said with a smile: "elder brother is wise and powerful. He certainly won't do such a thing. But elder brother, I'm still too young. Yuan Bilin is qualified for this position regardless of qualification or experience. "

"This time, I'll let you be the Minister of the Ministry of punishment. No one will question it." The Liangzhou bank case did not spread. After all, it was not a glorious thing for the imperial court that the official bank was replaced by the Treasury soldiers. Therefore, it is not as well known as the two cases that Qiyou handled before. But officials, basically all know.

Qiyou looked wrong and said, "brother, I have asked my parents about this."

Hearing this, Qi Hao took out a letter from the drawer of the case: "this is my mother's reply. Have a look."

Qiyou see Yuxi said in the letter that it's good to let him be the Minister of the Ministry of punishment. At the moment, he can't help wailing.
