Jiang Xulian said: "brother misunderstood. I don't mean that. I just want to..."

"I do know Fang Xun Ben." Jiang Yue's eyes fell on him. The sky was shining on his face through the white window paper. There was a kind of cold light, "but before I tell him his identity, you have to tell me honestly what you have done."

Jiang Xu was aggrieved and said, "I told my elder brother. What else do I have to say? Does my elder brother not believe his brother?"

Jiang Yue's eyes were fixed on him like sword light, and his lips were pursed into a tight straight line. After a long time, he suddenly said, "show me the account book of your salt transportation secretary."

Jiang Xu's eyelids jumped and said carefully, "what do you do with this, big brother?"

"Bring it!" Jiang Xu's words are simple and clear, without a trace of procrastination.

Jiang Xu said in a dilemma: "although the elder brother is the Minister of the Ministry of household and ranks first, he doesn't have the right to check the accounts of the Secretary of salt transportation because of the basic law."

Jiang Yue sneered again and again, "I'm growing up. I know how to take the law against my elder brother, OK!" He got up and said indifferently, "in this case, I don't need to stay here. Mr. Jiang, goodbye!"

Jiang Xu quickly stopped him and said anxiously, "brother, what are you doing? Let's talk about it slowly."

Jiang Yue said with no expression: "you don't take me as your big brother. What else can you say? You can do it yourself!"

"Big brother!" Jiang Xu tried his best to stop Jiang Yue who wanted to leave, but he said, "OK, I'll tell you everything. It's all over."

After Jiang Yue took a seat again, he told the story all over again. This time, Jiang Xu did not dare to hide anything.

Although he had guessed for a long time, Jiang Yue was still very angry when he heard that Jiang Xu used his right as a salt officer to make money. He held the handrail tightly in his hands. He was afraid that if he let go, he would slap him.

Jiang Yue tried hard to suppress the restless breath in his chest, and said in a hateful voice, "how many taels of silver did you spend on ink?"

Jiang Xu looked at him secretly and said in a low voice, "maybe millions of taels of silver, maybe Ten million two. "

"Ten million taels..." Jiang Yue trembled with anger, pointed to him and said, "what did I say to you on the day when you left Jinling and came to Yangzhou as an official?"

Jiang Xu knelt down and begged, "brother, I know I'm wrong. Please forgive me once."

Jiang Yue patted the carved armrest heavily, and the blue veins on the back of his hand jumped, "say!"

Jiang Xuchan said in a trembling voice: "the elder brother said that officials should have the heart of the king, show sympathy to the people, and be the master of the people. They should not seek personal gain, let alone bully the people."

"You remember clearly, but what happened?" Jiang Yue said in a hateful voice, "as a result, you have peeled off the people of Huaihe River and Huaihe River one layer after another, making them flesh and blood blurred!"

Jiang Xu said in tears, "brother, I know I'm wrong. I'll never dare to do it again!"

"Later?" Jiang Yue laughed angrily, "do you think there will be a future?"

Jiang Xu was shocked and quickly hugged his knee, "brother, we are brothers. Before my mother's death, you must take care of me. You can't wait to save me!" Seeing that Jiang Yue was not moved, he said in a hurry: "I swear that as long as I can pass this pass, I will be a good official who loves the people like a son. Brother, you believe me!"

Jiang Yue hid his face, and a deep sad voice came out from his fingers, "it's too late, everything is too late!"

"No, not at all!" Jiang Xu said busily: "as long as my elder brother helps me deal with Fang xuibun, it's the same as if it never happened!"

Jiang Yue body a shock, slowly raised his head, "how to deal with?"

As soon as Jiang Xu was inspired, he said: "I've got people staring at me day and night. Just wait for my elder brother to tell me who I am, then I can try to get rid of it."

Jiang Yue's eyes were full of light. "Do you want to kill him?"

"I don't want to harm people's lives in vain, but he has a bad intention and wants to harm me. In order to protect himself, he can only do so." Jiang Xu's voice didn't fall, and he got a slap on his face, which made Venus appear in front of him. After a long time, he came back to himself and said angrily, "brother, what are you doing?"

Jiang Yue pointed to him and scolded angrily: "bastard, you still have the face to ask me, do you think that your mistakes are not enough, and you have to add another homicide?"

Jiang Xu said wrongly, "I can't blame him. He has to bite like a mad dog."

"That's why you can kill people rightfully, can't you?" Jiang Yue was so angry that his face turned blue. After a while, he squeezed out four words from his teeth, "full of crooked reasons!"

"I can't help it, brother. Just once, help me!"

In the face of Jiang Xu's plea, Jiang Yue's tears flickered and said in a painful voice, "do you really change?"

See his tone loose, Jiang Xu repeatedly nodded, "change, I will change, those silver I also don't want, let elder brother disposal."

Jiang Yue took a deep breath and said, "go and get the books."

This time, Jiang Xu didn't refuse. He immediately took the account book from under his pillow. The last time he took Qinqing's bait, he quietly brought the account book back and put it under his head every night.The thick account books recorded his money exchanges with the eight salt merchants in recent years. The amount on the account books ranged from tens of thousands of taels to hundreds of thousands of taels. After he became the salt Minister of Huaihe River and Huaihe River, the amount became more and more shocking, with the largest amount of 780000 taels.

Looking at the astonishing figures on the account books, Jiang Yue could not calm down for a long time, with a total of 10.9 million taels. On the account books of the Ministry of accounts, the Treasury deposit was only 20 million taels, that is to say Jiang Xu embezzled half of the national treasury.

"Elder brother, you haven't told me the identity of Fang xunben. Is he the imperial envoy sent by your majesty?"

Jiang Yue closed his books and said in a deep voice, "come on, take me to see him."

Jiang Xu frowned and said, "big brother..."

"If you want to know his identity, take me right away!" Seeing Jiang Yue's tough attitude, Jiang Xu had to feel puzzled and ordered people to prepare a carriage and go to the hotel where he stayed.

Along the way, no matter how Jiang Xu attacks, Jiang Yue refuses to reveal Fang xunben's identity. The latter's secretive attitude makes Jiang Xu more and more uneasy, and even gives birth to an impulse to jump out of the carriage and escape.

When Jiang Xu was daydreaming, the carriage stopped, and the voice of the coachman came from outside the curtain, "you two are at the inn."

As soon as the driving curtain was lifted, there was a snowflake coming. The cold smell made Jiang Xu shiver. He looked at the snow covered road under the car and didn't settle down. He had a feeling that as soon as the foot fell, he would never go back.

Jiang Yue didn't see him do something. He said in a cold voice, "don't you get out of the car yet?"
