Ninety percent are fake?

After receiving this news suddenly, Xiao Ling felt it was ridiculous and couldn't believe it.

He has been in charge of the Ministry of Revenue for many years. The large family occupies a community with nine floors of Kuabao Pavilion and a glass tiles in a water. It is said that there are countless rare treasures, gold, silver and treasures, and more than 90% of the treasures of the Gu Shangshu family, who are rich enough to compete with the country, are fake?

For a moment, he didn't even care about the plan for drought control submitted by his subordinates. He rushed to the scene of the Shangshu Mansion to see what was going on.

"That's it..." He brought Xiao Ling to the treasure house of Shangshu Mansion, which was piled up with golden bricks and paved with white jade. Lin Qiuran picked up two thick gold bricks casually and knocked them together. The gold foil on the surface of the gold bricks was immediately destroyed, revealing a dull and dull inner.

Smell and sniff, grinding the two gold bricks together, Xiao Ling immediately identified: "Leady?"

Lin Qiuran nodded.

The gold bricks in the vault are neatly packed in boxes and boxes, covering the size of seven or eight beds... "All of them are fake?"

"Well, it's basically the same. The top and the outermost layer are covered with lead cores, which are not that easy to distinguish, but they are still fake. Still the silver..." Lin Qiuran pointed to the pile of silver bricks that covers a wider area and has a larger number than gold bricks. "It's basically all iron, and it's also covered with a layer on the outside."

He also pointed to other jade artifacts, ceramics, spices, medicinal materials, antique calligraphy and paintings: "Jade artifacts and ceramics are all imitated. Some use inferior jade, and some use white marble. The ambergris is musk, the sandalwood is agarwood, and the thousand-year-old ginseng is carved dried radish. The antique calligraphy and paintings are almost all imitated..."

"In addition, I also investigated the ruins of Kuabao Pavilion that you shot down yesterday. Judging from the residue, the things are basically fake."

After briefly explaining the situation, Lin Qiuran introduced Xiao Ling to an old man in his fifties, gray hair and good temperament: "This is a worship of Mr. Hu from Jiguzhai, Tianjingcheng. He is recognized as the best-looking master. We cannot tell some of the tricks. Just ask for advice."

Xiao Ling greeted the old worshipper.

The old worshiper was angry: "I'll just say it, I'll just say it. The things in the Gu Shangshu's family are not authentic! On several occasions, his servant secretly took things from the house to work as the pawnshop. The pawnshop said it was fake and refused to do it. As a result, he was beaten so hard that he could hardly get up..."

Peng Shuai whistled: "This is the legendary thing. The richer you have, the more stingy you are. Rich people take a high-quality imitation. People say it is real; even if you don't have a rich man, some people say it is high-quality imitation..."

This guy didn't realize the weirdness of this matter at all. But what he said was the truth. If he hadn't been a high-ranking official position and had always been in charge of wealth in the country, most of his belongings in his home were fake and had to be filled with inferior products. The rumors might have spread throughout Tianjing, so how could it have been revealed until now?

Even the slaves at home secretly made something out. The shopkeeper told them the truth and ended up being beaten to pieces. He never doubted whether the thing was true or not.

"Can it be... this guy was also deceived? Everyone knows that he is the sucker and just uses fake things to deceive him?" Xiao Ling asked in a deep thought.

He also didn't believe it was this possibility. But reasoning, he had to rule out some obvious possibilities first.

Lin Qiuran nodded. He had considered this possibility. With a wave of his hand, the imperial guards led the team brought a roster. When he opened it, he found that it was the account book of Gu Di's own record of accepting bribes.

"These are the words inside," he pointed out several places in the account book. "Because the bribers are not sure about the authenticity, they have looked for Mr. Hu before bribery. Mr. Hu remembers it very clearly."

The old worshiper stroked his beard and nodded: "That's right. I didn't dare to say that I broke it, but the pieces in the warehouse are not the pieces I handled on the day, so I'm still right."

In other words, the real thing was given to Gu Di, and then replaced with a fake one...

The reason why Gudi was able to leave such a big family business with the giant turtle was because it had been drained long ago, so there was nothing worth nostalgic about, right?

There are rumors that he had problems with that. Although the house was large and there were many concubines, he had nowhere to come out. Therefore, he adopted two adopted sons and adopted two children from relatives who didn't know where... It seems that they are all preparing for today.

So the question is, where does his real money go?

Xiao Ling and Lin Qiuran looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

When the Shangshu Mansion was searched, most people in the government and the country were welcomed by them, because they had confiscated the great family and wealthy Shu Gu's family, and the stolen silver was injected into the national treasury, and the national treasury became abundant immediately and everyone was well.

But... the promised dream of getting rich was actually lost. The Gu Shangshu family had nothing at all? It was just an empty shell? What's going on?

If I hadn't been responsible for the search, the first thought that arises in my mind would have made the person responsible for the search be greedy!

At least, when Xiao Ling received this news, his first reaction was like this. For this reason, he rushed here as soon as possible, for fear that the cultivators were too lazy to supervise poorly, allowing the Imperial Guards to take advantage of loopholes.

As for cultivators, they are not interested in gold, silver and treasures. They usually don’t lack them. Even if they are missing, the space bags are prepared for prisoners, weapons, clothes, and food.

Although gold, silver and treasures are valuable, can they become fragrant rice when they are sleeping in the open? Or can they become comfortable beds? They become umbrellas that shelter from wind and rain? They are not OK.

Unexpectedly, the raid that was supposed to be difficult was very smooth as expected;

What should have been very easy to finish the work has turned into a hot potato...

Now that this job has been taken, all the treasures in the mansion have been checked, and it is mainly done by the cultivators. The Imperial Guards basically only provide assistance... All procedures are so strict that they shoot themselves in the foot.

Because now, except for them, others have no chance or opportunity to commit crimes. If these things are fake, will others believe them? Will others believe them?

Suddenly Xiao Ling was stunned.

He was vaguely surprised in his heart. In the afternoon, the Concubine Li in the harem suddenly jumped into the water and committed suicide, and even if he could not live, he would not die, and he would not see the corpse... That would be a bit too easy.

Combined with the strange situation in the Shangshu Mansion, he understood a little... the vest was sweating coldly.

If the enemy really played this trick, then he would rashly search the Shangshu Mansion, which would be considered underestimating the enemy and falling into the enemy's trap...

And now, it is probably too late to block the news. Xiao Ling's mind changed rapidly. For the current plan, I'm afraid that the only way to get rid of the firewood from the cauldron...

While thinking about countermeasures, a voice came from the Muran Courtyard: "The emperor's secret order, Taishi Xiao, Taibao Peng, and Taishi Lin received the order!" Xiao Ling asked a question mark in his heart and stepped back according to the rules. When the eunuch walked into the door, he received the order with Peng Shuai and Lin Qiuran.

However, until the eunuch finished reciting the contents of the imperial edict, he was stunned and still a little unresponsive. Lin Qiuran and Peng Shuai were the same.

Looking at the three people's stupid appearance, the eunuch smiled and said, "Teacher Xiao, accept the queen's oral order again: Haha, I understand earlier than you this time, right?" She was proud, and the smile made the three of them look very familiar.

Damn, Xiao Ling, Peng Shuai, Lin Qiuran stood up and raised his middle finger at the eunuch. What kind of eunuch is this? It is obvious that Pu Rou has changed her appearance and has earned them kowtow several times.

However... the imperial edict she brought was really timely. It solved the troubles of Xiao Ling and her friends. Her complacentness was correct. She did understand earlier in this matter. Moreover, Xiao Ling had just conceived a solution. She had already solved the problem, and the solution was better than Xiao Ling's.

If this is a game, she really won.

The friends expressed their doubts: How did she see the clues? And she brought countermeasures so quickly?

Park Rou was proud and looked up at the sky: "So, it is also beneficial to watch more palace dramas."

Friends: "…"

"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense. Time is limited, so you can find someone to write a thank you book, so I can arrange someone to insert it into the book."

"Arranging someone? Nothing will happen, right?" If something goes wrong, it must be at this point.

Park Rou smiled again, her nostrils soared: "Let me tell you this. Although that is gone, the eunuch is basically a man."

Friends: "…"

"Fake? The things in the Shangshu Mansion are almost fake?"

In the study room of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zeng Xitong looked at the information he had just bought, and Mu Ran grinned: "Tsk, young man, he really has a big appetite. He thought he could do whatever he wanted by holding the emperor's thigh?"

Holding the information, he wandered around the study twice, pondering: "Well, take this matter as an opportunity. Although these cultivators who can suppress cannot interfere in the affairs of the court, they are in great power at the moment. If they are targeted, they will be more than enough to succeed or fail. This matter... they still need to find someone to stand up..."

"There are the imperial guards who besieged the Shangshu Mansion. Since I have received the news, the prince must have known it, so there is no need to worry." He slowly sat back on his seat.

A servant was called from outside: "Go to the Censor's Office and send me a message. Those envoys who don't know the roots and cannot judge their positions can use it..."

"Oh, there is also a visit to the Imperial Academy's Liquor Mansion. At this time, those students are quite useful."

"Fake? The things in the Shangshu Mansion are almost fake? Humph, they are so quick!" Almost at the same time, Prince Li Mo in the East Palace also received the same news. With the information, he pondered.

After a while, he ordered his servants: "Please invite me to the Taifu, Taibao, Shaozhi!" The Taifu here naturally refers to the third division and three young masters and three orphans of the Eastern Palace, not the three princes and three orphans of the court.

A moment later, the Grand Marshal Guo Yong, the Chief Minister of Tianjing Wang Chang, and another old minister with a gray hair and beard came to the East Palace, Yao Lin, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

The three of them entered the door, and before they could take over the information handed over by the prince, they looked at each other and knew it.

The third division of the Eastern Palace is the third young master, and the young master of the Taishi is straight and straight, and he does not rub sand in his eyes. Shaobao is a noble relative and is a bit unreliable. He only attracts three people, which is important to solve.

He took the note of the prince solemnly and read it one by one. Yao Lin was angry: "Rejecting the tiger from the front door, and entering the back door is really uneasy! The old minister will be included in the book tomorrow..."

As soon as he said that, he immediately shook his head: "Those saints and saints are in a strong position. I'm afraid that it will be useless to sue. Well, news came from the palace in the afternoon that Concubine Li had jumped into the lake. So far, no one was seen in life or death, and the minister of Gu here..."

"It's better for me to mobilize some disciples. I create public opinion in the government and the public, and let those charlatans take the initiative to hand over power. I think most people are willing."

Yao Lin's opinion made the prince a little excited. Yao Lin's so-called disciple was not a person in the officialdom, but a student. He was easily encouraged. If he had any opinions, the court could only listen to him. Usually he could not blame him or find out who was in charge.

Wang Chang next to him slowly shook his head: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, this matter is probably... there is another mystery. It is probably not done by those practitioners."

"It was not what those practitioners did?" Prince Yao Lin and Guo Yong were surprised.

The prince and Guo Yong looked at each other: "Is it the Imperial Guard? I have asked the Imperial Guard Commander to scold him repeatedly and strictly enforce military discipline..."

"It's not an imperial guard." Wang Chang shook his head, "I have been in charge of the Tianjing Mansion and have encountered several cases..." Generally speaking, three or four of the cases were thieves or flying thieves. They broke into the Shangshu Mansion with various means and stole treasures. After succeeding, they inexplicably found that the treasure was dropped and turned into fakes, and then the gang had a murder case.

There were three or four items that were secretly taken out of the mansion by the servants in the mansion and tried to pawn the pawnshop, but the pawnshop said it was a fake and refused. He was so angry that he fought, causing injuries and disability;

There are two or three more items, which are when Gu Shangshu's adopted son went out to gamble with someone. He lost and took his jade pendant to pledge it. As a result, he was found to be fake and had a dispute...

"Although things are not very big, one thing is common, that is, no one can steal the true treasure from the Shangshu Mansion..."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince also knows that I have been paying attention to this corruption over the years. Although there is no clear evidence, I only obtained the news from my private channels. This person sold official positions and titles. He accepted bribes, took out the debts and skins through the Ministry of Revenue, and used the royal family's name to enclose land to build stores, collect dry shares, and sell the royal property privately... Over the past ten years, there have been many plunders, at least 20 million taels of money."

"Twenty million taels?" The prince, Yao Lin and Guo Yong all gasped. The annual income of the entire dynasty's treasury is not that big, right?

Wang Chang did not mind the big deal: "This is just a number collected by the ministers, with evidence-based numbers. Those who do not know and have not yet grasped clues are at least several times more!"

"Wouldn't that be it? Isn't it a huge amount of hundreds of millions of taels?" Prince, Yao Lin, and Guo Yong were stunned.

This has been the treasury silver for the imperial court for several years. If there were these silver, how much could it be done?

"That's right. The more I collect, the more I feel frightened. The more I collect, the more strange it is... Gu Di has been greedy for so many years, and his family can be said to be piled up with mountains of gold and silver. Why... such cases have happened frequently? Until today, I have understood it vaguely."

"This guy colluded with the demon clan, but many concubines had nothing to do, only two adopted sons and two stepsons... He probably had no intention of living in the capital from the beginning. The silver he had greedy for over the years had probably been transferred out and taken away by various means through the demon clan, and was no longer at home..." Wang Chang slowly said the reasoning.

The prince, Yao Lin, and Guo Yong fell into silence. After a long time, he spoke slowly: "So, those practitioners are just right. If you can't steal a chicken... are you going to mess with all your sex?"

Yao Lin's face eased a little: "Even if it wasn't them... these charlatans fell from the sky and had intervened in the government affairs to this level in just one day. It will inevitably lead to great trouble in the future. We should still connect with the court officials and suppress their arrogance!"

Wang Chang shook his head slowly: "I think this matter should be discussed from the long-term plan. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, and Rong Chen will take a trip to the Sifang Pavilion to explore their words and make plans."

The prince looked at him and raised his eyebrows: "Young Master, don't be like last night..."

Yao Lin was unaware of this and looked at the two of them in a daze.

Wang Chang's face turned slightly red. The reason why he asked to visit Sifang Pavilion was because he wanted to finish what happened last night. The position of these cultivators was very strange, and they always felt that there would be any chance... (To be continued.)
