Chapter 313 Niubi, is it okay to come down and brag?
Li Chengqian chose this place as the largest place where the crime occurred. According to the files in the hands of Chang Sun Chong, the owner of this house is Cui Yuan. This old man has been working in the Ministry of Household Affairs since the Sui Dynasty, specializing in the treasury.
After the incident, his wives, concubines, and servants all dispersed, and this once bustling courtyard was now exuding such gloomy energy.
The study room in Xiyuan was the scene of Cui Yuan's death. After Li Chengqian entered the room, he briefly looked at the furnishings in the room, then made an invitation gesture to Li Chunfeng, asking him to catch the ghost first with the peach wood sword in his hand, and then
So he and Chang Sun Chong sat on the ground outside and read the files carefully.
"Cousin, look at this, I really didn't expect that this Cui Yuan has something to do with Jiancheng!" He then handed an official document from the Ministry of Personnel to Changsun Chong.
In November of the thirteenth year of Daye, Li Yuan led his army to break through Chang'an City, and Prince Yin's general Lei Yongji was the first to board the city. After entering the city, Lei Yongji's first task was to control the treasury. He thought it would be a fierce battle, but who could
Thinking that the defenders surrendered without a fight, and the person who persuaded the defenders to surrender was Cui Yuan, the accountant.
After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Prince Yin originally wanted to reward this meritorious minister, but this guy refused the promotion because of his mediocre ability, and he worked like this until he became an official in the first year of Zhenguan.
"Your Highness, I have just read this file. It would be far-fetched to say that Cui Yuan established a party. What kind of place is the treasury? Your Majesty will never allow problems to arise there.
What's more, the people in charge of the purge at that time were my father and Duke E. They would not let anyone go who had close contacts with Jiancheng. Besides..."
Jiancheng was the crown prince of a country at that time. The people he had shown kindness to and done things for him were all gone. If everyone who had anything to do with Jiancheng was classified as a traitor, then those who would be on duty at the Tai Chi Hall tomorrow would
There are not many people left. Who are my father and Yuchi Gong? They are ruthless people who dare to kill even Jiancheng and Yuanji's sons. If Cui Yuan was really a minister of the old East Palace, how could he survive to this day?
After listening to Changsun Chong's words, Li Chengqian shook his head repeatedly, and then said: "Gu Ke didn't say that he was a member of Prince Yin's party, but he is not a simple person."
After speaking, he stood up, patted the dust on his robe, and said: "First, he is not a loyal minister of the Sui Dynasty. You have seen that loyal minister surrender voluntarily. Second, he does not love wealth and fame in officialdom.
He looked down upon him very lightly, otherwise why would he refuse the invitation of the current prince?
But this is an official who understands current affairs and knows how to advance and retreat. Why is he willing to look at the warehouse for a lifetime? Don't you think it's strange? Also, you are looking at this yard. With your current salary, how many years can you save to buy it?
Build a mansion like this."
If he had not come here, Li Chengqian would definitely think of Cui Yuan as a person with no desires and desires. But looking at this luxuriously decorated courtyard, it is obviously inconsistent with the lack of fame and fortune, simplicity and simplicity recorded in the official documents.
However, according to the rules of the Ministry of Household Affairs, officials' property status will be investigated regularly to avoid corruption. How did a humble official like him avoid inspections year after year?
"Your Highness, you mean a petty official and a huge corrupt person?" Out of professional habits, Chang Sun Chong's first thought was the issue of integrity. Not to mention now, even when he was the right minister of the Ministry of Integrity, something like this
He can't afford a house either.
"If you are greedy for money, no one will spend it on the house. As the saying goes, people have to worry about the short term. It is impossible for an old man like him to put eggs in a cage. Go check him out.
Are there any other courtyards?
Then capture all his wives, concubines, and servants and interrogate them one by one. In addition, when you go back, let your uncle secretly investigate all the errands Cui Yuan handled during his tenure in the Ministry of Household Affairs."
It is not easy to make a big deal about matters involving money. Firstly, he does not want to cause any misunderstandings with the current officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Secondly, he does not want to alert others and see who and how many people he has got. Li Chengqian does not want to believe it.
This is something he can do alone.
"No, I have taken note of it. Your Highness, do you think he killed someone just to get money?"
Changsun Chong raised this question well. If Cui Yuan's death was due to money, then there are many other people among them who are ordinary people. Why kill them?
While the two were deep in thought, Li Chunfeng, who was chattering away, trotted all the way to the rockery on the opposite pool. While stepping on the rocks, he danced and called Li Chengqian.
"Your Highness, are you putting too much pressure on him? Why do you think this Heavenly Master has made you crazy?" Changsun Chong frowned and looked at Li Chunfeng who looked like he was crazy on the rockery.
"Go crazy if you're crazy. One less magician in this world will make a lot of difference. Let's go and see what this old boy is doing."...
At this moment, Zhao Jie ran over with several people carrying several large bags, and there was no telling what was in the bags.
"Zhao Jie, aren't you checking with Sun Fuga at Dali Temple? Why are you here?" Li Chengqian frowned and looked at Zhao Jie and his men. Why are you running back and forth with a bag on your back if you don't carry out errands well?
.
After taking a few deep breaths, he smoothed his violently heaving chest, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, I have discovered the secret of copper coins and have already experimented with it in Dali Temple, so I came here to demonstrate it to Your Highness."
After speaking, he waved to the people who came with him and motioned them to throw the bag to Li Chunfeng on the rockery. He also shouted loudly, which made Lao Li pour the coins in the bag on the rockery.
After a while, when he saw Zhao Jie carrying the last bag, Changsun Chong couldn't help but ask: "Old Zhao, you are going to be a money-spreading boy today!"
"Yes, all the copper coins in my hand are of great use. Just take a look at it in a moment!" After saying that, he shouted loudly for Li Chunfeng to come down quickly, but who knew that Li Chunfeng stood on top unmoved.
, told Li Chengqian and others in a serious manner what Xuanwu Land is.
Xuan, Tongxuan, means showing off. The place where you show off your force is called Xuanwu, so it can also be understood as the backer. Looking at Yangzhai Feng Shui is like looking at the sun, moon and nine stars, spreading from south to north. According to the standard model,
That is to say, if you sit north and face south, they unfold from front to back, with water in the front, Suzaku next, and Xuanwu in the back.
Settling in Guishan is a symbol of wisdom. Wherever you live, the back of a turtle is round, slow and thick, so the original yin-filled Feng Shui here is broken and transformed into a great auspicious place.
Seeing Li Chunfeng sitting on it giving lectures, Zhao Jie almost jumped up in anxiety. The Bureau of Economic Affairs had finally found an opportunity to show his face in front of the prince, and he couldn't let this smelly Taoist interfere.
