Chen Tong's eyes flashed, he licked the corners of his mouth excitedly and said, "General, I understand."
"Go and do some work."
Li Chen said coldly: "I don't look at the process, only the results. Sanbao is old, not to mention that he is my father's confidant, not my confidant. Do you understand what I mean?"
Chen Tong's expressionless face glowed with excitement, and he whispered: "The general will understand."
After Chen Tong left, Li Chen returned to Xi Zheng Hall with a serious expression.
He was wondering who did this.
Treasury and silver escorts, let alone such a large amount, are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even if they could, they would not have the power and ability to arrange it seamlessly in a short period of time.
You must know that there is so much cash in Tong County, and even Xu Changqing himself only found out after counting it. Therefore, the initiator of this matter must not have known about it earlier than Xu Changqing, and this person knew the news at the first time. In just a short time
Arrangements are made as soon as possible. Without sufficient power, it is impossible to do it.
When it comes to power, Zhao Xuanji is undoubtedly the number one suspect.
But Li Chen thought it was impossible.
Zhao Xuanji only sees power. At this point, money has no effect on him. If he wants to rely on this incident to defeat himself, it conflicts with Zhao Xuanji's move to force the palace today and prepare to directly kill him.
So his chances are very low.
"boom."
Slapping his hand on the table, Li Chen's eyes were cold, "No matter who you are, don't let me catch you, I will definitely make you die in a fancy way."
As the Jin Yiwei was dispatched, the news that four million taels of silver had been robbed could no longer be concealed.
Then the whole capital was boiling.
Such a large case can be said to be the largest case in Beijing in more than ten years.
Countless forces were secretly surging. Some were gloating about the misfortune, while others were afraid of being implicated. People were in panic. In addition, Jin Yiwei kept taking people away from the household department, and screams and cries of injustice resounded all around.
The entire capital seemed to be shrouded in an extremely oppressive cloud.
After a desperate and frantic pursuit in Dongchang, Xu Changqing and Xu Jiuan also went crazy and started biting people crazily. After all, if the murderer could not be found, they would definitely be the ones who died. So the matter finally became clear late that night.
"Chen Tong asks to see His Highness the Crown Prince."
When he received the news, Li Chen had not rested yet and immediately summoned Chen Tong to Xi Zheng Hall.
"After investigation, the general found that the officials responsible for accounting in the Ministry of Revenue were all confidants of Zhao Zeyou, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue. After searching the residence of Zhao Zeyou, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he found some letters that had not yet been burned, including the following:
Tongxian County Magistrate contacted the content, and the whole family in Tongxian County Town has been emptied out. It can be concluded that the County Magistrate has nothing to do with this matter. As for Zhao Zeyou, it has been captured and is waiting for His Highness the Crown Prince to deal with it."
Li Chen's expression was frighteningly cold and he said, "Bring that piece of shit to me."
Soon, Zhao Zeyou, who was tied up and covered with wounds and bloodstains, was brought to the Xi Zheng Palace by the Jin Yiwei.
Standing in the middle of the hall, Li Chen looked coldly at Zhao Zeyou, who was over forty but still well-maintained, but now looked a little embarrassed, but he could still vaguely see the extraordinary charm of his youth.
Unlike others, Zhao Zeyou faced Li Chen after being brought to Xi Zheng Palace without saying a word, let alone begging for mercy.
"Your Highness, Zhao Zeyou has a very tough mouth. No matter how much he is tortured, he will not say a word." Chen Tong whispered beside him.
