Bai Wuhou is still in the mansion, how can he not be surprised when he sees this battle?
"National Preceptor, His Majesty the Seventh Highness, what do you mean?"
Bai Wuhou went up to meet him, feeling a little displeased with the two leaders.
Luo Shunchen glanced at the old man and said nothing.
Xi Xiaomeng smiled bitterly. In fact, he didn't want to do this. However, His Highness the Seventh Highness didn't know where they got the evidence. All of them pointed to the fact that Bai Wuhou was greedy when he was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
Less.
Emperor Xuan always hated corrupt officials the most, but the amount of corruption committed by Marquis Bai Wu was still small.
In this case, how could Xi Xiaomeng dare to let Bai Wuhou go?
"Marquis Bai Wu, I'm sorry, we came to you today to check something out. I wonder if you remember Shui Licheng, the current Minister of Household Affairs?"
Shui Licheng, Minister of Household Affairs?
Isn't that his classmate and friend? The two have always had a good relationship, and they have also done some shameful things.
Bai Wuhou nodded, "I certainly remember it."
"Now there is evidence that Shui Licheng embezzled five million silver, and now Shui Licheng has admitted it. Lord Wen, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Lord Song, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment can both testify to this matter. Shui Licheng also confessed,
Three million of them are due to you, Bai Wuhou, who is greedy for ink. Regardless of whether you are innocent or not, please come with us to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."
National Master Xi Xiaomeng's correct expression made Bai Wuhou's heart tremble.
How did those five million Tan Mo come to light?
Moreover, no one has checked this account for so many years. Even if they did, it would be impossible to know where the problem lies.
Marquis Bai Wu kept his composure, "What the Imperial Master said is funny. When did I embezzle three million from Mo? I have so much wealth in my family, why should I embezzle three million from the national treasury?"
"Really? Please ask Bai Wuhou to explain these pieces of silver."
The National Preceptor Xi Xiaomeng glanced at the other party, waved, and asked Wen Yingmin, the Minister of Civil Affairs, to take out an account book, which was outlined with a vermilion pen.
Bai Wuhou looked at it and was horrified.
Because the place outlined by the vermilion pen is where he was greedy for money.
What surprised him the most was that they were able to find out the exact location.
"Marquis Bai Wu, can you explain?"
"I..."
Bai Wuhou hesitated a word, not knowing how to say it.
This account book was written by himself, and it happened when he was serving as the Minister of Household Affairs. After so many years, he suddenly turned up the old account, so caught off guard that his old face turned purple.
The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel heard that Yingmin had always interrogated experts. When he saw Bai Wuhou's expression, he immediately ordered the minions behind him, "Please come to the Ministry of Punishment for tea, you all, be careful."
"Yes."
A large group of people invited Bai Wuhou into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
Bai Wuhou left the mansion, and Luo Shunchen looked at the hall, and couldn't help but smile evilly, "Sir Song, can you recognize the thing on the stone wall?"
Song Hewen, the Minister of Punishment, was stunned for a moment, "I don't recognize it."
"That's a unicorn. It was a New Year's gift from the Pearl Kingdom to my father. If you don't believe it, you can check the origin of this unicorn. This unicorn was originally a gift from the imperial palace, and my father never gave it to Bai Bai.
Marquis Wu, where did Bai Wuhou get this tribute?"
Withholding tribute privately is a much more serious crime than corruption.
Song Hewen, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, raised his eyes and glanced at Luo Shunchen, nodded and said, "Okay, I will ask someone to take this unicorn back."
