Chapter 159: House search(1/2)
Chu Zhaoci's bias is so obvious.
Even if the prefect really has something wrong with his head, after listening to his words, he should understand what's going on.
simply put...
It was he who tried so hard to catch Chu Zhaoci, but was caught instead by Chu Zhaoci and was even tricked by him.
A typical example of stealing the chicken but losing the rice!
He staggered up from the ground and looked around at the people around him.
Dead end!
He was already surrounded by enemies, and it was obviously impossible to break out alone, so there was only a little he could do.
When Chu Zhaoci saw him standing up and looking around, he thought he was trying to run away, so he immediately asked the officers and soldiers next to him to come forward and catch him.
The officers and soldiers immediately stepped forward after receiving the order.
But before they could catch the magistrate, the magistrate vomited blood and fell to the ground.
All the officers and soldiers were stunned.
Xie Qingbai, who was used to such scenes, was the first to react and hurriedly asked the officers and soldiers to call the government doctor.
A nun who was standing silently next to Donor Shao eating melon seeds suddenly said, "You don't need to go to the doctor, he can't be saved."
Only then did everyone notice her.
Chu Zhaoci had already guessed that the reason why the magistrate vomited blood and fell to the ground was because he had poison hidden in his teeth, and now it was because he bit the poison sac that he was like this.
There is no way to save this situation!
But he still holds on to a glimmer of hope...
He walked quickly to the little nun and asked, "Miss Xiao Nian, can you save him?"
Hua Xiaonian's medical skills seem to be very high. If she can save the prefect, maybe the prefect can tell them the real person behind the scenes?
As a result, before the little nun could speak to annihilate his fantasy, Shao Jingheng spoke first.
"Your Highness is kind-hearted, but others may not be."
The little nun then repaired the knife for him, "Donor Chu, don't worry, even if I can save him, I won't take action."
Donor Shao had just quietly told her that the benefactor from the magistrate was very poor and his family's money was confiscated and he had no money to pay for her medical treatment.
This is a loss-making business and cannot be saved!
Furthermore, she would be imprisoned because of the prefect’s benefactor, so she couldn’t be saved!
Chu Zhaoci...
He actually knew in his heart that even if they rescued the prefect, the prefect might not tell them the real behind-the-scenes story.
After all, the prefect still has his family.
He just hid two boxes of salary secretly. As long as he held on tight, the salary was seized from bandits...
The court could only sentence his family to exile.
But he knows too much. If he lives or reveals the truth behind the scenes, his family will not be spared.
The best solution is for him to die.
Only in this way can his family continue to live.
At the end of this incident, the official envoys threw the prefect into a mass grave, then raided the prefect's entire family and reported his crimes.
Don't think he is just a small prefect.
When the house was searched, more than a dozen boxes of gold, more than fifty boxes of silver, and nearly a hundred boxes of gold and silver jewelry were found.
There are tens of millions of taels in banknotes and more than a dozen sets of real estate title deeds.
What's more, half of the title deeds of these properties are in Kyoto City.
What kind of corrupt official does this have to be to have the property title deeds of Kyoto City and such a huge family property in this remote city?
The more Chu Zhaoci looked at it, the more he hated it.
How corrupt is their Apocalypse Kingdom to raise such scum? It is a disgrace to the people!
Border officers are in a tight situation...
Judging from Chu Zhaoci's current mood, he really wanted to send all the prefect's property to the border.
In order to protect the people of Tianqi, the soldiers licked blood from their swords all day long, but they repaid them by deducting military pay!
Simply worse than a beast!
He wanted to solve the border problems as soon as possible.
Even if Shao Jingheng couldn't see it, he could still guess his mood as the sixth prince.
But this concerns the imperial court and cannot be acted on impulse!
He said to the officer and soldier who was keeping accounts, "Search thirty boxes of silver."
The officers and soldiers clearly saw more than fifty boxes...
He was stunned at that time and looked at Xie Qingbai beside him with some confusion.
Xie Qingbai nodded slightly to him.
The officers and soldiers then continued to record!
As for the remaining twenty or so boxes...
Shao Jingheng pulled a nun next to him who had brought two plates of cakes to eat at some point, and whispered, "Take me there."
The little nun is eating deliciously.
Suddenly his sleeve was pulled by Donor Shao, and his face was full of disgust!
"Can't Donor Shao be able to go there by himself?"
Although Donor Shao was blind, he was not blind in ability. He could find Donor Chu accurately.
The little nun said she refused to help.
But is Donor Shao someone who gives up so easily?
You're not taking him there, are you?
Okay, he will take you there!
He didn't waste any time and took the little nun's arm and walked towards Chu Zhaoci's position.
A certain nun is really...
But what I have in my hand is not cakes, but shit...
She promised that she would kiss him all over his face!
Shao Jingheng gently patted Chu Zhaoci on the shoulder, "Take your time!"
He did not say the words "twenty chests of silver."
Who knows if there are any spies from the imperial court around them?
They were able to extract twenty boxes of silver by reporting...
The prefect wanted to pretend to send stones to the army as military pay, but they found two boxes of stones, and later found the remaining military pay at the prefect's house.
Use this excuse to cover the eyes of outsiders.
Their more than twenty boxes of silver could not be given to the border in the form of silver, but could only be converted into food and supplies.
Waiting for their food to be transported to the border...
The imperial court will definitely find out what they are doing today, but the concepts that were introduced to the imperial court at that time and those that are introduced to the imperial court now are two different concepts.
The emperor is suspicious...
If he now knew that they had withheld the money, he would definitely doubt their intentions and get the money back.
Moreover, they must be punished.
But if he finds out after the food and supplies are sent to the border...
Food and supplies come with bills.
As long as the emperor looks at the bill, he will know their intentions.
By then, as long as the emperor is not stupid, he will definitely suppress this matter secretly and will have a new understanding of Chu Zhaoci.
Shao Jingheng's analysis is correct.
Three months later, after the emperor learned what they had done today, he indeed suppressed all the details of the matter.
There has also been a great change in the views on Chu Zhaoci.
Of course, this is something.
To be continued...
