"Among them, some of the money is...military pay!"
He Guangyi knelt on his knees and said this sentence almost tremblingly.
"Not only are there salaries for the guards under the two masters, but also the salaries for the Dusi Guards..." He Guangyi's voice became softer and weaker, "Among them, in Kaifeng, in addition to the salaries for the guards, there are also pensions
Horse silver, stockyard silver, etc.!”
"The two masters had too much money and Sheng Hengda also let it go and gave it to wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan and others."
Zhu Yunxi felt his head buzzing, and his hand holding the tea was almost unsteady.
Not only was he audacious, he was simply lawless.
"When did this happen?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
"Twenty-sixth year of Hongwu!" He Guangyi did not dare to raise his head.
A cold air appeared on Zhu Yunxi's face, which meant that his imperial uncles did these things after the death of his father, Zhu Biao. Those years were also the time when the old man was very protective of his sons.
"As a prince, I enjoy endless glory and wealth, and yet I only care about making money. I just want to make money, and I dare not touch any money..." Zhu Yunxi gritted his teeth with hatred, "The money for military pay, support, etc.
Horse money......"
With that said, he turned to He Guangyi and said, "I understand what you mean. Zhou Quan relies on Sheng Hengda Company to make money for them, right?"
"Yes!" He Guangyi sweated like rain, "It has been like this for the past few years, until..."
"Keep talking!"
"It wasn't until Tie Buzheng investigated smuggling in Z, which involved many maritime merchants, that Sheng Hengda failed to recover some money on time, and there was a money shortage in his books."
"The shareholders in Suzhou proposed that they transfer the money in their hands to lend it out. This matter made them angry."
"The two gentlemen directly deducted the principal that should have been delivered to the bank on time. Not only that, they also directly withheld the banknotes shipped from Shanxi!"
"Ha!" Zhu Yunxi sneered, "I just felt that Zhou Quan and Bank Account were a bit disobedient and wanted to negotiate terms with them, so I decided to do whatever I could to get rid of them. At worst, they will find someone who can open a bank account in the future and continue to make money for them!
"
"As for the other shareholders of Sheng Hengda, hey, even if they knew they were robbed, who would dare to say anything?"
Saying that, there was a snap.
The blue and white tea bowl in Zhu Yunxi's hand fell to the ground hard and turned into pieces.
The facts are obvious and couldn't be simpler.
The vassal king made money by lending money to the bank with nothing, and then reciprocated the property in his own name, and even the military pay and other money that he could intervene in, and gave it to the bank to lend them money at interest.
Sheng Hengda may be delayed with other money, but he dare not delay a penny of the vassal prince's money. After maturity, the principal and interest will not be paid, and the two vassal princes will occupy huge cash flow in vain.
As for turnover reputation, it is not among the considerations of the two princes.
"Do you know what they used the money for?" Zhu Yunxi continued to ask.
He Guangyi lowered his head, carefully picked up the porcelain fragments with his hands, and whispered, "I haven't had time to investigate this matter yet. But according to Sheng Hengda's account over there, all the accounting transactions over the years have been with the palace."
The stewards and others on the side reconciled the accounts. And it involved... local officials!"
After saying that, he hurriedly continued, "The emperor asked me to serve as the minister of the Institute of Integrity. Naturally, I will not wrongly accuse good people, let alone bad people."
Zhu Yunxi looked at him for a moment, "Then this case will be handed over to your Integrity Commission to handle it in secret. It is not appropriate to make it public now!"
"I understand. Let's put Sheng Hengda's second accountant and others in prison first. Where are you two masters...?"
This is the most critical point. Zhu Yunxi was not merciless in dealing with them, but at this time...
When a man grows up, he realizes what it means to be frightened by human kindness.
"Check, check clearly... Investigate the misappropriation of military pay and other matters carefully without making any noise. Other matters must be investigated, and the whereabouts of every money must be made clear."
He Guangyi said hurriedly, "I obey your order!"
Then I saw Zhu Yunxi waving his hands as if he was very tired. After He Guangyi saluted and retired, Zhu Yunxi, who was sitting cross-legged, sighed silently and leaned on the armrest of the Arhat bed.

"Why are you here again?"
Li Jinglong had just come out of the government office and walked into his house before the curfew in the inner city.
Before he even got off the carriage, he saw Sheng Hengda's boss, Zhou Quan, rushing out from the concierge.
"I've met my uncle!" Zhou Quan seemed much older after not seeing him for a few days. "I came here in the morning to ask to see my uncle, but I couldn't get my request and had to wait in the concierge!"
Li Jinglong glared at the housekeeper and walked in without looking at Zhou Quan.
"Master! Master!"
The servants stopped him, so he couldn't reach Li Jinglong at all.
Cao Guogong's housekeeper stood aside and slapped the concierge in the face, "You can't eat people without caring about human affairs? Are you letting everyone in the door? In the Duke's mansion, why do you have these unscrupulous people here?" he said.
Then, with a slap in the face, he said, "Remember, I will kick you out to beg for food next time!"
"I understand, uncle!" The concierge got up, patted the dirt on his body, and dragged Zhou Quan out.
"Master, didn't you promise me help last time? You can't keep your word!" Zhou Quan cried loudly.
"You help Sheng Hengda, I will be richly rewarded!"
As he shouted, Li Jinglong gradually moved away.
"On this day, there is nothing to worry about!"
Entering the backyard, Li Jinglong cursed in his heart, "The Supreme Emperor is busy with his feet on the ground during his birthday. Some Tubo toasts in the Lifan Court even reported to their motherfuckers that the harvest this year was not good, and they asked the Ming Dynasty to subsidize their food!"
"Such a black-hearted businessman is blocking the door of my house. What does it have to do with me whether you die or not? Asking me to help you with empty teeth is just a dream!"
"Master is back?" Madam Deng Shi greeted him with a smile in the middle hall of the backyard, "You are tired and your face looks bad. There is soup stewed for you on the stove. It is Feilong sent from Liaodong.
These days you still keep talking about this."
Li Jinglong sat down in the middle hall, stretched out his feet and let the maid come forward to help him take off his official boots.
"I remember you pickled those porridge stuff every year, right?"
"Why do you think of asking this?" Mrs. Deng took a pair of soft-soled cloth shoes and said with a smile, "When I was away from my parents' house, I developed a habit with my mother. When winter comes, I don't pick some vegetables, and I feel like it's not serious.
Live your life. Aren’t you most dissatisfied with those things? How are you doing today?"
"I'll pick those things for you to pickle tomorrow. I'll put them in a basket with rotten mustard seeds, soybeans and mustard greens." Li Jinglong was tired. He wiped his face with a towel and closed his eyes and said, "Should I take it out as a gift?"
"Who?" Mrs. Deng came over with hot tea.
Just as Deng lowered her head to put the tea, Li Jinglong leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Who else can I give it to? The old man is very proud of this!"
"No wonder my father said that you have more tricks on your body than anyone else!" Deng scolded with a smile.
"My father-in-law is right!" Li Jinglong took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "How can you fool around if you don't have any sense these days?" As he said that, he suddenly laughed again, "Besides, this is not being conceited, this is called following one's will.
good!"
"The old man knows how to skin you!" Deng laughed and scolded.
"He can't bear to part with it!" Li Jinglong rolled his eyes as he spoke, "In the blink of an eye, the old man will live forever. As a nephew and grandson's daughter-in-law, why don't you prepare something?"
Madam Deng was startled, "What do you want me to prepare?"
"Don't you know how to write? I'll accept two pairs of thousand-layer bottoms!" Li Jinglong said, "As a gift from the younger generation, it's just shoes and clothes. Anyway, you also know the old man's temper. The less valuable he is, the happier he will be."
"That's called etiquette being ignored but affection being valued!" Ms. Deng spat at him, "Sooner or later, one day you will go crazy because of all the nonsense in your head!"
While the couple was talking, footsteps came from outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, I saw the housekeeper running in, his forehead covered with sweat, "Master, this is incredible!"
Li Jinglong was furious instantly, "Why are you running?"
"That...Zhouquan, one end was in front of our house, he...he hit him to death!"
