Han Jian didn't sleep all night and was in good spirits. It was dawn and the rising sun was rising. Han Jian stretched his waist to go into the palace to meet the queen.

But at this moment, Zhang Xing and Yang Xi who went out to arrest people came back. Judging from their appearance, they did not gain much this time.

"Young Master, all the people involved in the Ministry of Revenue and others are not in the mansion. It is said that they went to the palace to meet the saint together, and they may be suing you to Your Majesty." Zhang Xing brought the latest news outside.

"Face Saint?" Han Jian frowned slightly, "They are not very brave. Did Your Majesty get up at this time?"

Yang Xi said: "I heard from the people in the palace that my sister didn't sleep all night and was waiting for news in Ye'an Pavilion. Now these people probably have seen her sister, and I don't know what they would say to her."

Han Jian thought to himself that these people were either going to find the Queen and complaining about his fault, saying that he had been wronged and wronged, or they were going to cry and ask the Queen for forgiveness. The former is more likely.

However, Han Jian not only has evidence, but also has a lot of physical evidence as a basis. What are he afraid of those people saying? I am afraid that the queen will not listen to these shameless nonsense. What he has to do now is to go to the palace immediately to expose the faces of these people.

"Okay, it's time to go to the palace to report the case to His Majesty and cheer up!"

Han Jian said, and entered the palace with Yang Xi, Sima Yao and others, and saw many official sedan chairs outside Yingtian Gate. Because there was no morning court that day, most of these official sedan chairs were the sedan chairs of the officials involved in the case.

"Master Zhang, stay. All ministers who come out of it are related to the case will be taken down on the spot and taken back to the Tingwei Mansion to await trial."

"Yes, young master." Zhang Xing received the order.

At this moment, a minister walked out of Yingtianmen of the palace. Zhang Xing subconsciously prepared to go up and get the person, but he looked clearly but did not move. The one who came out of the palace was Gu Weipan, the chief minister of the Shangting Office. At this time, Gu Weipan was holding a memorial in his hand, obviously he had just entered the palace and came out of the palace.

"Good morning, Chief Gu." Han Jian smiled and went up to say hello. This is the future father-in-law. He wants to have a good relationship, otherwise he and Gu Xiner will be separated by this old guy.

"Are you guys?" Gu Weipan looked around. They were all palace guards, and this was not like an ordinary saint who came into the palace.

"Chief Gu, we are handling the case. If there is nothing else, I will go to the palace to see you and say goodbye." Han Jian smiled and said goodbye to Gu Weipan, then took Sima Yue and others into the palace.

But Gu Weipan left without a hurry. He stood at the gate of the palace and watched for a while. Because the incident last night had not spread yet, he still didn't know what was going on in the city. It was not until he went to the Shangdian office in the morning that he knew that there was a sensational case in the city last night.

...

...

The palace, the Ye'an Pavilion.

Han Jian first asked someone to pass it through, and then went to Ye'an Pavilion with Yang Xi. At this time, the atmosphere in Ye'an Pavilion was a little depressed. There were more than a dozen ministers in the entire Ye'an Pavilion. In addition to the officials of the Ministry of Revenue involved in the case, there was also an old acquaintance. He also sent someone to search the city for Ma Jining, the leader of the Ministry of Custody who had not been caught overnight.

Han Jianxin said that Ma Jining dared to enter the palace to see the queen. He was brave enough.

"See Your Majesty." Han Jian said with rituals.

"Your King Dong, are you here?" The queen was looking at something with her head down, but when she heard Han Jian's voice, she looked up. Her tone was neither cold nor light.

"Your Majesty, after a thorough investigation overnight, I have basically found out the case. This is the case. Please check it out." Han Jian submitted the memorial. Eunuch Lu, who was standing beside him, quickly took the memorial and submitted it to the queen.

The queen looked at the memorial, and the officials involved in the case were not breathing. They gathered together after receiving the notification from Ma Jining last night. Later, when they wanted to go to the palace, they were not very informed about the progress of the case outside. The main reason was that the news in this era was too late.

The queen roughly read the memorial, looked up at Han Jian, and asked, "King Dong, your superior Sima's subordinate reported to me, saying that you were usurping the power and arresting first-class officials of the Treasury Department for no reason, causing the matter of summer grain entering the warehouse to be unable to be continued. You also reported that you ignored the imperial court's laws, abused lynching, and made a fuss. Is there any such thing?"

When the queen said this, the officials next to her were also harder and looked at Han Jian. As long as Han Jian quibble, they would provide a lot of evidence to prove that these things were true.

"Your Majesty, it's true." Han Jian admitted bluntly, which surprised the officials next to him.

The queen said: "How do you explain it when you are Dongwang?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, I am trying to investigate the case. I have no choice but to do the unscrupulous means." Han Jian said with a polite manner.

An official on the side shouted coldly: "Then what you investigated by Dong Wang is illegal. How can you report these to Your Majesty?"

"Who is this?" Han Jian looked at the person in front of him. He was in his forties and looked quite decent. He was dressed in an official uniform very well. He should be the kind of official who pays great attention to appearance.

"The Right Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, He Xiaoxian?" the man said in a bad tone.

"He Shun? Why are you here? Your mansion has been searched below, do you know?" Han Jian said with a smile.

"What did you say?" He Xiaoxian was slightly shocked and sneered, "King Dong, not only did you take over people, but you also abducted the imperial government's residence without your permission. I am honest and not afraid of shadows. What can you find in my government? Your Majesty, please make the decision for the old minister and not let the Dong King continue to be so arrogant."

Han Jian smiled and said, "I did not find any evidence of crime in He Shilang's mansion, but I found 600,000 taels of silver in the pawnshop cellar west of He Shilang. As for He Shilang's other places, I can only check this... I can only check it slowly."

The queen still looked at He Xiaoxian indifferently and asked, "Mr. He, what are your explanations for this?"

"When you are a court official, remember the rules of being a minister. How could it be against the national law to open a pawn shop? This... it was all framed by the King of the East."

Han Jian smiled and said, "Mr. He should not make such a rush to make a conclusion. 600,000 taels of silver are required to frame it, but if it is 13 million taels of silver... I am sorry to say it quickly. Now there are so many preliminary findings. How much does it take to calculate it carefully. I wonder if you colleagues, with your annual salary and the accumulated karma of your ancestors, how many lifetimes can you save this 13 million taels of silver?"

When Han Jian said before, some officials had already looked unnatural when they were quenching the mansion, because not all officials put the money outside like He Xiaoxian. In these days, there were no banks and the money shops were not reliable in private. If you want to keep a large amount of money, the safest way is to hide it at home. Now that the mansion has been quenched, it means that the evidence of the crime has fallen completely in the hands of the case handler. If the evidence of the crime is held, they have no confidence to argue again.

When the numbers Han Jian said were not only the officials were panicked, but even the queen frowned when she heard it.

Now the Wei Dynasty's annual treasury fiscal revenue is only a few million taels, and some miscellaneous income has just reached 10 million taels. Now, the initial investigation of the embezzled and deficit silver money has reached 13 million taels, which is the Wei Dynasty's annual fiscal revenue. If all these silver money falls into the hands of the Northern King, as Han Jian said before, how can the court last in this battle with one rises and the other falls?

At this point, even He Xiaoxian, who was arrogant just now, was speechless. Since Han Jian searched more than 10 million taels of silver, it was still a preliminary figure, which made him unable to continue to argue.

Han Jian said: "Since Mr. He said that he was wronged, I asked Your Majesty to hand over all the people involved in the case to me for a thorough investigation. If he is guilty, I will punish him according to the law and never tolerate him. If he is indeed wronged, I will give them justice."

"His Majesty……"

He Xiaoxian wanted to say something, but the queen raised her hand to stop her. The queen said, "Since that's the case, I'm entitled to the King of the East, you can retreat."

The officials with dark faces left one after another. As soon as they arrived at the door, they had been taken down by the palace guards and did not need to go to the palace gate.

After everyone retreated, only Han Jian and the queen siblings were left in the entire Ye'an Pavilion.

The queen looked at Han Jian with a smile and said, "Your Highness, you have done a good job, it's worth the trust of you. You have done a good job, and I am pleased that the case was found so quickly."

Yang Xi was praised by her sister, with a smile on her face, but she refused to be greedy for me and said with a smile: "It's all Brother Han who has the ability."

Han Jian was not as "unrestrained" as Yang Xi, and said honestly: "It is a blessing for the minister to share your worries."

"The King of Eastern is not humble, I will continue to leave the case to you, but the three departments..."

After hearing the queen say "Three Departments", Han Jian knew that the queen was going to take judicial measures. This was the empress's habit, which was to make big things small. Once she embarked on the road of trial by the Three Departments, the case would basically be suppressed, because there were many members of the Northern King Party among the Three Departments, and they would try every means to rescue their accomplices.

"Your Majesty." Han Jian interrupted the queen and said, "I ask Your Majesty to give me another one more time to find out the person involved in the case. I promise not to escalate the situation, but I hope that some people involved will not be spared, even if he has retired from his official position or... he will die."

When Han Jian said this, the queen was slightly stunned. The queen was thinking about the meaning of Han Jian's words.

The queen understood after thinking about it again. She said that "retired from her official position" and "dead of death". In fact, she was talking about the sudden death of Li Wei. Han Jian said this, in fact, she wanted to say that he would involve Li Wei in the case, and Li Wei was a rebel minister, so his death would not have such a great impact. In this way, the queen would easily explain Huang Lie to the world.

The queen smiled, and there was a bit of comfort in her smile. Although she thought of these things, she would not use such unexpected methods.

"Then I will allow you to investigate it thoroughly for another day. Tomorrow, I will take over the case with the Three Divisions. You are the Eastern King and a minister of the foreign vassal. It will be more appropriate to leave some matters to the Three Divisions for handling." The Queen said at last.
