Chapter 546: Do you still think you were wronged? (Please subscribe)
Sima Chang was stunned when he heard Qin Luoheng mentioning him by name.
Others also looked over, their eyes full of surprise and disbelief.
In fact, they have never doubted Sima Chang, because Sima was able to enter the Shangshu Division with the help of Hua Fu. Now Sima's talents are withering. If he had not entered the Shangshu Division, I am afraid that the situation would have been more serious. Sima Chang had no emotions or reasons.
Any reason to sell out.
But how could the Tenth Young Master joke about this matter?
The whole place was dead silent.
Sima Chang's expression changed again and again.
Finally, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Sir, I have been wronged. Since I came to the Secretary's Office, I have been diligent about my career and have never done anything improper."
"This... is really unfair!"
"Tenth Young Master, I would like to ask you to conduct a thorough investigation."
"My subordinates have really never done anything to disobey the Lord's orders, nor have they ever done anything to betray the Secretary. My character is well known to all the officials in the Secretary. How could I do such an unconscionable thing?
"
"Sir, I have a grievance in my heart!"
Sima Chang was furious in the lobby, as if he had been greatly humiliated.
Hua Yao and others also frowned slightly, with a hint of hesitation in their eyes. They had been with Sima Chang for so long and were still very convinced of him, so they were full of doubts about this result.
Huayao Road:
"Sir, is there any misunderstanding?"
"Taicang Ling, in the past six months, I have learned something about him. He has always been diligent and conscientious in his work. In terms of hard work, among all the officials in the Shangshu Division, Taicang Ling is probably the first to arrive. He is always the first to arrive.
, and also the last to leave.”
"He shouldn't do anything to betray his official position."
"I'd like to ask the young master to reconsider the investigation."
Other officials also spoke up, trying to intercede with Sima Chang.
Sima Chang had an indignant look on his face, and the frustration and resentment on his entire face were clearly displayed at this moment.
aside.
Gu and Chen Ping frowned slightly.
Neither of them spoke, but glanced at the people who were begging for mercy.
Qin Luoheng nodded and said:
"Unjustly accused?"
"I hope so too."
"People's words can lie, but black and white evidence can't, and neither can the dozens of people who have contacted you. Since you keep saying that you are wronged, then I will help you ask people, and ask them if they will.
I will say that you were wronged."
"Wei Jiaojun, do you think Sima Chang was unjustly accused?"
Qin Luoheng looked over coldly.
Seeing Qin Luoheng suddenly turning the topic to himself, Wei Jiaojun's face changed slightly. He glanced at Sima Chang imperceptibly, then quickly moved his eyes back, laughed dryly, and said: "Young Master Ten, please don't do that.
I was kidding."
"How can I dare to speak casually about matters within the Secretary's Office?"
"I haven't been in Chaoge since spring, and I don't know much about Shangshusi's affairs. It's really difficult for me to judge."
"Everything shall be subject to the evidence of the young master."
Qin Luoheng smiled and nodded.
He looked at Sima Chang and said, "Sima Chang, do you think it's okay to let Mr. Wei Jiao judge whether you have any problems?"
Sima Chang's expression froze.
He raised his eyelids slightly and looked at Wei Jiaojun, but his heart suddenly became nervous.
He cupped his hands and said:
"Everything is decided by the young master."
"I think I have a clear conscience."
"Whether it's Mr. Wei Jiao or anyone else, even when facing His Majesty, I, Sima Chang, will still say this."
"I am not wrong."
"I have not committed any crime, nor have I committed any crime."
Sima Chang was righteous and awe-inspiring.
Qin Luoheng chuckled lightly, with a mocking look in his eyes.
He said calmly:
"Sima Chang, you really can keep your composure."
"Do you really think I can't find out the little tricks you do in private?"
"You go out early and come back late. You are indeed very hardworking, but you are not hiding from others for your own benefit. You don't have to say it, because you only think that I am deceiving you. After all, you were a bronze official and have handled many data verifications.
We are well aware of the tedious and complex nature of verifying data.”
"So you conclude that I can't be found guilty."
"and......"
"You should have heard about it too."
"I will wait two more days and then return to Xianyang."
"In just four days, according to normal accounting conditions, it is not easy to even find out the Shangshusi's account books. How can we find loopholes in thousands of data?"
"So you are confident."
"You're not afraid of checking!"
"Because you are confident that your accounting ability is very strong, at least the officials in the Shangshu Division cannot tell. And this is all the experience you have accumulated in the past ten years as a Tongguan. When I return to Xianyang, even if someone investigates later
If something goes wrong, then it will be a problem for me, Ying Si Nian, to lose power."
"Who will care about it then?"
"After all, you sent out the information from the Secretary of State in order to befriend my eldest brother and gain his trust, so that the Sima family can restore its former glory."
"You, Sima, or rather you, believe that I will lose power if I go back."
"So you chose to defect."
"Am I right? Sima Chang!"
Hear the words.
Sima Chang was sweating heavily on his forehead, and his pupils were even more constricted. He never expected that Qin Luoheng would tell him everything he had done.
All accurate.
That's indeed what he had in mind.
He can afford it!
As long as these days are delayed until Qin Luoheng returns to Xianyang, his crisis will be resolved immediately. He has already received the news some time ago. Nearly 80% of the officials in the court are trying their best to impeach Qin Luoheng.
Even if Qin Luoheng is the tenth son of the Qin Dynasty, it will be difficult to escape responsibility.
Qin Luoheng's loss of power is a foregone conclusion.
But he never expected that Qin Luoheng would see through all his thoughts and even point them out in public.
For a while.
Sima Chang's back felt cold.
Sima Chang quickly shouted: "Sir, I don't know where I heard these slanderous rumors, but I am really unjust. I have never done anything to disgrace the Secretary."
"I feel aggrieved!"
"I did serve as a senior official in the past, but I have always enforced the law. I have never dared to commit any corruption, and I have never made any false accounts. These heart-breaking remarks are simply shocking. This person's slanderous words clearly want to harm me.
Master, you must not believe this rumor."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "In addition."
"The subordinates are officials of the Qin Dynasty."
"Since I'm supposed to share your Majesty's worries and solve problems for the Secretary, why have I ever had contact with the eldest son? Moreover, our Sima family has long been in decline. If it weren't for the support of the tenth son, we wouldn't be able to live with other officials. The tenth son treats my Sima family like this.
How could I dare to betray the Secretary of the Secretariat for his kindness?"
"Sir, it's hard for the subordinates!"
"If the Tenth Young Master really doesn't believe me, I will be willing to resign and leave. I will also voluntarily apply for the court to investigate the past strictly in order to clear the unfair grievances on me."
"I, the official, sit upright and will never accept this unjust injustice!"
After hearing Sima Chang's confession, other officials were slightly moved.
They also felt that they might have made a mistake.
The Sima clan originally belonged to the Guanzhong clan, and it was impossible for him to seek refuge with the eldest son, both emotionally and rationally. Moreover, Sima Chang was already the official, minister, and secretary, and the tenth son was gaining power at the moment, so why should he abandon the near and seek the distant? Furthermore, Sima Chang's behavior had always been decent.
, not like that kind of misbehaving person.
more importantly.
Sima Chang dared the court to conduct a thorough investigation.
If there was something wrong in his heart, how could he dare to speak out like this?
Bang bang bang!
At this time.
A clear sound of applause sounded.
Qin Luoheng said: "Sima Chang, your defense is indeed sonorous and powerful. If it were an ordinary person, I would probably think that you were wronged, but facts speak louder than words. Whether you have done anything to betray you or not, you are more concerned than anyone else.
clear."
"You refuse to admit it."
"Then I don't have to talk nonsense to you."
"The reason why you speak so sonorously is because you believe that Chen Ping and the others can't find anything. But I'll tell you today, you underestimate me too much."
"Shang Shusi indeed has a lot of data."
"If I don't have a clue, it will be really difficult to find something."
"If we really review the accounts submitted by the imperial court every year, Chen Ping and Gu will be found out in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse. But I, Ying Si, have never followed the ordinary path. It is indeed very cumbersome to check the accounts seriously, but if we do it by chance,
, it’s not that difficult.”
"The most indispensable thing in this world is smart people."
“There’s no shortage of ideas!”
"Are you wronged?"
"Wei Jiaojun has never spoken, how dare you say these two words?"
"Chen Ping, return Sima Chang's account books to him and let him check it himself to see if there is really anything wrong with the account books he created."
Chen Ping promised.
Handed over Sima Chang's relevant account books.
Sima Chang's face turned pale.
He subconsciously stretched out his hand to take the account book, but when his fingertips touched the account book, he seemed to think of something and quickly retracted his hand.
But his actions seemed very conspicuous at this time.
Chen Ping said: "Taicang Ling, you can read it if you want. After reading it, you will understand where the problem lies in the account books you made, and you will also know why you have problems."
Hear the words.
Sima Chang's face turned green, red and purple.
Finally he reached out and took it.
He hugged the account book to his chest and quickly flipped through the account book. However, the account book was exactly the same as before, without any changes. Moreover, the account books he listed had been carefully calculated, and the data were completely consistent. Chen Ping and others
Where did you discover the problem?
Sima Chang was very puzzled.
At this time.
Chen Ping sent over a piece of paper.
Dozens of data are densely listed above.
Sima Chang didn't hold it anymore and directly reached out to take it, but he looked around and still didn't find anything wrong.
Chen Ping said: "Taicang Ling, please compare your data with other people's data and see how your data is different."
Sima Chang quickly followed suit.
He compared them one by one in his mind.
But still confused.
Just when Sima Chang thought that Chen Ping was playing a trick on him, he just drank the account book and wanted to scold him, but a flash of inspiration seemed to flash in his mind. His expression suddenly changed, he opened the account book again, and looked at the records again.
Paper full of data.
He immediately turned pale.
See the situation.
Qin Luoheng knew that Sima Chang had seen the problem and said calmly: "Sima Chang, what else do you have to say now? Do you still think that you have been wronged?"
