Handfuls of delicate yellow jasmine flowers bloomed in the green corners of the wall. As the weather got warmer, the roses in the flower pond under the porch also sprouted buds, and a few sparrows chirped in the sunshine all morning. On a rare sunny day, even if
The spring breeze blowing in through the window is still chilly, which also makes people feel good.
The weather was so good that Mu Anzhi ordered people to set up a table in the courtyard and review the files of Wei's case in the sun.
"His family is really good at finding scapegoats," Mu Anzhi said to Du Changshi, who had just arrived.
Du Changshi understood what Mu Anzhi meant. In the previous military pay case, Cheng Yu, the salary official, had filled the hole. After the trial of this case, the Wei family had been in charge of Xuanjia Guard for more than 20 years, and his family had a lot of things going on.
But now all the personal and material evidence has fallen on the third son of the Wei family.
Yes, it was Wei San who once humiliated Bai Zhaodong and said that he would send Bai Zhaodong to the palace as a eunuch.
Wei San.
The concubine of the old general Wei.
The younger brother of General Wei Sheng.
Du Changshi poured himself a cup of tea, held the cup and sighed, "I never knew that a concubine's wife was so worthless."
Mu Anzhi glanced at Du Changshi, and in the imperial capital, among the people Mu Anzhi knew, the direct descendants may not be as confident as Du Changshi. Moreover, Du Changshi could laugh at himself, which shows that he really didn't take his status as a concubine seriously.
superior.
Du Changshi noticed Mu Anzhi's gaze and looked back strangely, then slapped his forehead and remembered, "Hey, I forgot, I am also a commoner." He said repeatedly, "My commoner is different from the Wei family.
My eldest brother and I are the only two brothers in my family, and besides, our family doesn’t have a tradition of discriminating against concubines.”
Well, eight generations back in his family, there were no concubines.
Du Changshi was surprised and said to Mu Anzhi, "Actually, when I was a child, I often hated my elder brother. I was angry that he would always lecture me for trivial matters. I thought that it would be my parents who left early, otherwise they would not be able to agree. How could there be such bullying?
Human? At that time, I was envious of Wei San. He would play as much as he wanted every day. Mrs. Wei spoiled him. He had a house full of flowers and beautiful sisters, and his house was well-kept, almost like a fairy cave. I
I fell in love with it as soon as I went there, and I wanted to do the same when I got home. When I told my brother, I got kicked in the face, and I was so scared that I didn’t dare to mention it again.”
Du Changshi took a sip of tea and looked at the blue sky, "This man is really hard to look at for a while."
Mu Anzhi said sincerely, "It's not easy for Mr. Du to raise you."
"It's even more difficult for me to live with him. That's me. No one else can stand him." Du Changshi didn't realize that his brother raised him. They were brothers. Their parents were gone, so naturally it was him.
Brother raised him. As for his brother having a good character and raising him with great care, this is normal. His brother is not that ignorant bitch. Of course, if his brother had to raise him into a big playboy, so would he.
I don't mind at all.
Du Changshi thought carelessly.
Mu Anzhi flipped through the file, "Wei San is responsible for the salary of Xuanjia Guards. The corrupt money went into Wei San's account at the bank. It was the Wei family that was involved in a lawsuit. Everything that affects people's lives is Wei San's."
It's done." He closed the file with a snap, "This Wei San really deserves to be cut into pieces with a thousand cuts."
"If you want to tell me, the Wei family members are actually smart, but they have been fooled by their cleverness. The incident occurred twenty years ago, and even the Wei family and his son don't know about these things. Could it be that they have been deaf and blind in these years?" Du Changshi
He said sarcastically, "Setting up such a situation is nothing more than causing trouble to the Ministry of Punishment."
Mu Anzhi asked, "Wei San hasn't been tried yet?" I heard Du Changshi said that he was nothing more than a playboy, so it was so difficult to put him on trial?
"All the evidence points to Wei San. Wei San also admitted that he was greedy for money and involved in the lawsuit. However, Wei San has a bad gambling problem. He can get tens of thousands of silver in one gamble. Most of the money went to him to gamble away.
"It's gone." Du Changshi said, "When the Punishment Department went to seize the gambling den, the building was already empty. Apparently they vacated the stall and left as soon as they saw something happened in the General's Mansion. General Wei can't use torture, and Wei Sheng can't torture too much."
However, several confidants of the Wei family and his son have been tortured and asked nothing. If you guessed correctly, in addition to one set of people in the mansion, the Wei family should have another set of people."
Mu Anzhi frowned, "What were you doing with the money?"
"I sorted out the daily expenses of the Wei family." Du Changshi took out another thin book from his sleeve and held it up with both hands. Mu An glanced at it and couldn't help but said, "You are really richer than a prince." He asked again,
"How did his family's accounts get settled?"
"Your Highness is surprised, but this booklet is not the expenses of the Wei family. It is the expense account of the house of the Wei family's chief steward." Du Changshi said.
Mu Anzhi:......
Du Changshi said, "The accounts of the Wei family are complicated and have not been completely sorted out. General Wei has five sons and two daughters. Among them, the second son and two daughters are legitimate sons and daughters, the third son is a concubine, and there are more than a dozen grandchildren. Each master,
The girl has six maids, six maids, six nannies, and ten mothers. The young maids, mamas, and women beside the young master are the same as the girl, except that the young master is slightly older and needs to be matched with the older one.
There are six servants, six boys, six vehicles and horses, and there are thirty or fifty people serving each master, plus the people who serve in the tea room, kitchen, warehouse, sewing room, stable, and study room, and the thirty or fifty people who are in charge of the affairs.
Among the servants Wei Jiaguang serves is Xiao Sanqian. Compiling and checking these accounts is a big project. Doctor Xu said that checking the accounts of a county is not so troublesome."
"Don't talk about the county government, even a government government can't use these people." As a prince, Mu Anzhi had thirty or fifty people serving around him when he was a child. However, the chief minister of the branch government was arranged by the imperial court, and Yu Zefu
There are only a hundred or so people serving here. It’s not that he and Sister Yuhua really want so many people to serve. The prince’s mansion has its own regulations. On weekdays, the number of people who sweep and sweep cannot be reduced. The other seven or eight people have more than a hundred people.
There are really not many people. In fact, Mu Anzhi only has four servants around him, while Li Yuhua has six maids and a grandma who was given by the Queen Mother Lan. Compared with this, they are really not as good as the girls and boys of the Wei family.
The pomp is huge.
Du Changshi also thought, "Yeah, why do we need so many people to serve? How much work can we do?" It's not necessary at all. The boys in their family can only be taken care of by two maids when they are young.
Some of them moved to the front yard after they were twelve years old. They didn’t have any maids, they were all servants.
Anyway, Mu Anzhi and Du Changshi's thinking cannot understand these useless ostentations of the Wei family. Mu Anzhi said that they just had money and had nowhere to use it, so they burned it.
Thinking of the accounts of the chief steward of the Wei family, Mu Anzhi became angry. He remembered that when he had just gotten married, he asked Emperor Mu Xuan to confiscate his salary. The money for the family's livelihood was shamelessly borrowed. Although he did not borrow it from others, but
Look at the Wei family, the annual expenses of a big housekeeper's house are over 100,000 yuan.
It's strange that the military pay and money are all out of hand. As for the Wei family steward's account, if he is not greedy and does not take advantage of it, where can he get all this money? A steward's family is so extravagant, you can imagine how big the general's mansion must be to tolerate such extravagance...
Mu Anzhi waved to Du Changshi, and when Du Changshi came forward, Mu Anzhi lowered his voice and said, "Let's tell Mr. Bai that he knows about the casino?"
Under the sun, Du Changshi's eyebrows moved slightly. Mu Anzhi thought that although Du Changshi was a bit mean on weekdays, he was actually a kind person. He said to Du Changshi, "He may not really be returning to the imperial capital to repay his kindness. The Wei family
What kind of favor do you have with him? However, he doesn’t necessarily want to add insult to injury to the Wei family at this time. Anyway, it’s just such a letter, let’s try our luck.”
"The old general is his biological father after all..." Du Changshi was really as kind-hearted as Mu Anzhi thought, so he felt that he was being kind to others.
Mu Anzhi lifted his lips and smiled softly, "Just because a child is born does not mean he or she is qualified to be a parent."
Du Changshi trembled in fright, quickly glanced left and right, and saw no one else except Xiao Yi, he said, "Your Highness, be careful what you say." If this word reaches His Majesty's ears, will it be as good as His Majesty's?
Bai Zhaodong was very concerned about the Wei family's lawsuit. He had a good relationship with Du Changshi and often went to Du Changshi to inquire. Du Changshi didn't need to look for him at all, he would come over on his own.
Du Changshi didn't hide it from Bai Zhaodong, "We should be able to stop it at Wei San's place, and the old general and Wei Sheng will not be implicated."
Bai Zhaodong's eyebrows moved slightly, "Really?"
Du Changshi nodded.
"I heard that the case is not a small one. It can be seen that His Majesty is thinking about the old relationship between the monarch and his subjects." There was a temptation in Bai Zhaodong's words.
Du Changshi looked at him without saying anything. Bai Zhaodong was extremely alert and scratched the bridge of his nose in embarrassment, "I'm afraid you will be embarrassed, so I can't ask directly. Xiao Du, if you think you have something to say, just pick up the unimportant ones and follow them."
Let me tell you."
"This time I just want to ask Brother Bai, if there are any other clues." I told Bai Zhaodong about the Wei family case in general, and the only missing part in the chain of evidence was the casino that fled after hearing the news.
Du Changshi said, "Actually, even if the people in the casino are not caught, the main charges are all on Wei San, but it will not be easy for General Wei and Wei Sheng to get away with it. It is certain that one will be redeemed and the other will be incompetent. The key is that the Wei family uses
This kind of deception will lead to the complete loss of the sacred heart."
"In such a major case, the Ministry of Punishment will only give opinions on sentencing. I am afraid that the cabinet will not have full authority to decide the final sentence. It must be the arbitrary decision of His Majesty's Sacred Heart." Du Changshi said with sincerity in his eyes, "So, the Sacred Heart is very important.
.”
Bai Zhaodong said nothing, "I understand. Xiao Du, if you come to ask me, it must be because neither the old general nor Wei Sheng asked anything."
Bai Zhaodong was a little puzzled, so he asked Du Changshi, "Xiao Du, what you said is reasonable even if I am not in the officialdom. Logically speaking, the old general and Wei Sheng are both high-ranking officials, and only Bi
I understand better, why don't they recruit? Even if there is no casino to pour money, it will not be easy to blame Wei San for all these things of the Wei family, right? "
Du Changshi said softly, "Who doesn't want to live?"
No matter how big or small the case is, there will always be a main culprit.
When sentencing, it is certain that the principal criminal bears the heaviest punishment.
Wei Sheng was the eldest son of General Wei. He had the highest official position in the army and was most valued by the general. Therefore, Du Changshi judged that both the Wei family and his son were aware of the corruption.
The blame now lies on Wei San's head, and both father and son understand that even if the evidence is all on Wei San's head, Wei San cannot afford to take the blame based on his official position and ability.
One of the father and son of the Wei family must be the mastermind of the Wei case.
Those who bear this name will surely die.
Both the Wei family and his son refused to acknowledge the casino incident, not because they didn't care about the Sacred Heart, but because they didn't want to take on this serious crime.
Neither father takes the place of the son, nor does the son take the place of the father. Neither of them wants to die.
