After returning to Linzi, before he could sit down and take a sip of water, Jin Yao saw Wang Jian, who was in charge of swallowing Qi, standing in front of the gate of Mo Bian Mountain, hesitating.
As we all know, regardless of their status, the two of them were good friends in private, otherwise they would not have had Lord Long accompany them when King Jian of Qi was on tour.
But no one expected that soon after Qi surrendered, Qi Wangjian went crazy.
"You forced me?" Jin Yao frowned.
He didn't believe that a good person could suddenly go crazy, and it was not a good thing for Qi Wangjian to go crazy!
When the time comes for Qi Di, what will Qi people think?
Do you think it was Qin’s intention?
"No!" Wang Jian shook his head hastily.
Just because he was worried that Lord Long would think so, Wang Jian had to come and explain in person as soon as possible.
Otherwise, not only Long Jun will not let him go, but there will also be censors in Xianyang who will impeach him.
But they really didn't do anything. They ate, drank, drank, and served him well. They were afraid that he would be lonely, and they didn't dare to have less beautiful women. They even didn't dare to stop beautiful men because they were worried about having special hobbies.
However, people just go crazy under their noses.
"What's going on?" Jin Yao believed that Wang Jian couldn't do such a thing, and neither could Qin Jun.
After all, Qi and Qin did not have any deep hatred, and secondly, the two sides had not experienced any tragic wars, so naturally they would not treat the king of Qi like this.
"According to what Meng Tian said, after surrendering, King Jian of Qi summoned the royal family members of the Qi Kingdom. When he came back, he became furious and dismissed all the Tian family members. He went crazy a few days later."
"Then we investigated carefully and found that it was because of the accusations and abuses from the Qi people and the royal family of Qi that they overwhelmed the last king of Qi!"
Wang Jian hurriedly explained the reason why King Qi went crazy.
They sent people to protect and monitor Qi Wangjian's every move, so they naturally knew Qi Wangjian's experience that day.
The entire Qi State and the royal family are accusing Qi King Jian's inaction that led to Qi State being annexed by Qin State.
No matter how King Jian of Qi explains it, the people of Qi and the clan have to find a pot and an outlet for the annexation of Qi.
Just like when Guo Kai and Li Mu sold Yan and Zhao to Qin.
The people don't know many things, they only know who owns the state of Qi, so they need an excuse to vent their anger.
"Something's wrong!" Jin Yao shook his head.
Although this explanation is reasonable, it can indeed make a person crazy. This is the power of public opinion. This is how Internet violence in later generations can drive people crazy and even commit suicide.
However, Jin Yao and Qi Wangjian are very good friends in private. Knowing Qi Wangjian's character, there is nothing that can make them care about people who are bent on ruining things and people who go through everything without leaving a trace.
"Longjun!" Guo Kai also came back. Looking at Jin Yao and Wang Jian, he found that the atmosphere was not right. He was stunned for a moment and then handed Jin Yao the property report of King Qi's royal family.
"So few?" Jin Yao was a little stunned as he took the report from the Qi State Treasury sent by Guo Kai.
The whole country of Qi has been peaceful for more than 40 years, and there have been no wars or large expenditures. How can it be possible that the richest prince among the princes has less than three million in assets?
"That's all. And I checked. Although Qi State did not have any wars or large expenditures, in the year of the locust plague, Qi State did spend money for disaster relief. Then there were the invasions of Wei, Chu, and Yan.
, so that Qi State had to spend money to eliminate disasters."
"All accounts are correct!"
Guo Kai explained seriously, for fear of suspecting that he was greedy.
For him now, money is no longer his pursuit. If he wants to be greedy, he will be greedy. He dares to be greedy even for the country. These money things really can't get into his eyes.
"Is there really no mistake?" Jin Yao looked at the expenditures and incomes one after another, and always felt that something was not right.
Guo Kai nodded, "Absolutely correct!"
"But..." Guo Kai spoke again.
"But what?" Jin Yao knew there must be something wrong.
"Everyone knows that Qi has been peaceful for forty years, and its government has been corrupt for forty years. Therefore, their financial reports should not be so accurate, or even perfect, even for the Qin State's Shaofu, who is responsible for the internal affairs of Su.
Financial reports cannot be so clear and perfect!" Guo Kai continued.
This financial report is so detailed that every income and expenditure is accurate and calculated down to the millimeter.
Therefore, if it is too perfect, it will appear abnormal.
In particular, the problem of corruption in the Qi court is well known to the world, how could it be so accurate?
If this financial report is accurate, then it is a false accusation to say that the Qi court is corrupt. If it is true as stated in the financial report, then not only are these courtiers of Qi not corrupt officials, but they are all honest officials in the world.
.
"Could it be those prime ministers and tomb chiefs of Qi who were killed by King Jian of Qi?" Jin Yao thought about it, and this was the only possibility.
After all, the real greed will make everything perfect.
"Kai Kai thought so at first, but after thinking about it, it's impossible!" Guo Kai shook his head and said.
"Why?" Jin Yao was surprised and wanted to know what the real operation of a corrupt man like Guo Kai was like.
"If it's just a small bribe, it may be so flawless, but it won't be like this when it comes to real corruption and evil!" Guo Kai said seriously.
Jin Yao and Wang Jian both looked at Guo Kai curiously. In fact, they all knew that Guo Kai was corrupt, and that he was extremely corrupt in the Qin State, but everyone, including Ying Zheng, chose to turn a blind eye.
Because although Guo Kai is greedy, he can really do things.
For the same amount of money, Guo Kai can not only do things beautifully, but also make a fortune from it. Such is his ability, no one will say anything.
For example, the Qin State's expenditures on the construction of the Zhengguo Canal and the Hexi Corridor were astronomical. No one knew how much Guo Kai had embezzled from them, but they knew that the quality of these projects was very high and there were no problems at all.
Therefore, even the censor who heard about it turned a blind eye to it. After all, Guo Kaizheng, who had completed these projects, was greatly rewarded, and no one would impeach a prominent hero at this juncture.
"A truly greedy person will let his superiors know that he is greedy. This is tantamount to actively giving the handle to his superiors and giving them a weight to check and balance himself. Only in this way will he live a better life, and his superiors will believe in him!"
Guo Kai said seriously, and then glanced at Wang Jian.
Wang Jian nodded. Every time he went on an expedition, he would give Xianyang all the rewards, just to reassure Xianyang.
"So, the problem with this financial report is that it is too perfect!" Guo Kai said seriously.
"Have you traced the whereabouts of these disappeared properties?" Jin Yao also believed that Qi's wealth must have been transferred away.
"It's being traced, but it's very difficult because we don't know the true total wealth of Qi State, and we don't have an accurate figure if we want to trace it!" Guo Kai shook his head.
