152. Chapter 152 The temptation of King Pingyang 1
In fact, a few days before Xia Hou Ranluo and Xiangli Rongde went out to play in the Peach Blossom Forest, Feng Guo's political affairs were already in turmoil.
Gong Liyangxuan has been very busy these days. Although Xu Jitong became the husband of Xia Houranluo, Princess Ruilin of Gong State, as a marriage tool, and was named Lord Ping in Gong State, this did not stop him from investigating households.
The minister was corrupt, perverting the law, and plundering the people's wealth, and even before he met Xia Houranluo, all the evidence for this case had been collected.
The position of Minister of Household Affairs has always been filled with fat people, and corruption is also common. However, Feng Guo's treasury has been empty for a long time. Emperor Zhan was worried about this. After he saw Shu Zi from a distance, he ordered him to thoroughly investigate the corruption cases of court officials.
However, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance was the first to bear the brunt.
Xu Pujin, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, had been an official for thirty-two years and actually embezzled more than 500,000 taels of silver. This was just from his observance of etiquette, and there were countless other incomes. In the past, he was even more distantly related to Empress Wenwen.
With the relationship, and now with the relationship of Princess Gongguo, everyone would think that absolutely no one would dare to touch him, but Gong Liyangxun chose him to do it.
This is a very extreme choice. In fact, if some petty officials are chosen to scare the monkeys, things will go more smoothly. However, in order to use the completion of this case as an excuse to see Shuzi again, Gong Lianyang has no choice but to make this choice.
Rubbing his aching temples, Gong Lian Yangxun covered the folding book in his hand. It took him a lot of effort and time to completely organize and write up Xu Pujin's case. As long as it was handed over to Emperor Zhan after dawn,
Go, Xu Pujin's official career should come to an end...
Suddenly there was a sound on the roof of the study, and Gong Lian Yangxun's body trembled violently. He quickly hid the book close to his body, then took off the long sword hanging on the wall, and walked out of the study with the long sword.
Seeing that the little book boy who was keeping watch had fallen asleep outside the study, he was just about to lean over and check the little book boy's breathing when he heard someone talking.
"Don't worry, I just used a little Ecstasy."
Gong Lianyangxun stood up straight, held the long sword in his hand and looked at Fu Siji who appeared in the yard outside the study at some unknown time: "Didn't His Highness King Pingyang also appear on the day Princess Gongguo Ruilin returned to China?"
Have you returned to Xunyang City after leaving the Imperial City? Why are you still here?"
Fu Siji curled his lips and stretched out his hand to pull the cloak on his shoulders: "I came here specially to see the Prime Minister. I thought that the Prime Minister was as enamored of Princess Ruilin as I was. After the princess left, there would be tea and rice."
I didn't think about it, but I didn't expect that the Prime Minister was really dedicated to the country and the people. He didn't have the slightest trace of lovesickness or sorrow, and was always busy with political affairs day and night."
"Princess Ruilin and I just met by chance, nothing more. Moreover, I only did my duty to eat the emperor's salary and worry about the emperor." Gong Lianyangxuan had a stern face and did not relax his vigilance. He knew that Fu
Si's martial arts are also very good, and since he can come here tonight like no one else, the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion must have been as addicted to the incense as the little book boy, "If His Highness King Pingyang is
If you miss Princess Ruilin, you should go to Gongguo instead of the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"Although our relationship is not that good, we are both people who like Ranluo. In this case, if you give me some face, I will definitely not embarrass you again, nor will I kill you again." Fu
Si Jie looked at Gong Lianyang with a half-smile, and said, "Xu Pujin is the person my father left to me, so... you can't touch him."
