Chapter 554: The Crown Prince Who Loves Officials(1/2)

The team led into Wang Xinling's mausoleum, which exceeded everyone's expectations.

Changsun Gong glanced sideways at Song Shenggui, the magistrate of Taiyuan, and silently clasped his hands together.

Song Shenggui immediately stepped forward, raised his head with a smile on his face, and looked at Wang Xinling on horseback: "Shanxi Road reported that the grandson is here. I don't know why Governor Wang led his team into the city..."

Wang Xinling held the riding whip in his hand, clasped his hands together and raised them, and bowed: "I have entered the city on the orders of His Highness Taisun to verify the report of the Shanxi Taoist envoy Si Yamen about the burning of the government's treasury."

Song Shenggui tilted his head and looked at the large group of Jinyi Guards and Yulin Guards officers and soldiers behind Wang Xinling.

He put away the smile on his face, bowed and said: "The burning of the government's cabinets and warehouses was caused by the dereliction of duty by petty officials, but the Shanxi Provincial Government Office could not escape the fault of negligence. I would like to report to His Highness the Grand Sun, and respectfully request that His Highness be punished.

.

When a fire broke out in the government's jiage warehouse last night, the feudal lords, governors, military gates, etc. immediately came out to take the lead in putting out the fire. However, there were many combustible things in the jiage warehouse, and the fire continued to rage and was difficult to extinguish.

After further investigation, it was found that the clerk who was guarding the Jia Ge Treasury in the government office suffered from a sudden heavy snowfall in Taiyuan last night, making it very cold at night. In order to keep warm, the clerk secretly lit a stove in the Jia Ge Treasury, and then disappeared without a trace, but the stove fell to the ground.

It ignited the fire nearby and caused the accident.

At dawn today, I have been convicted in Taiwan, and the vassal government has approved it. The few offenders who committed the crime have been executed on the spot to serve as a warning to others and to deter the other officials."

As he spoke, Song Shenggui's eyes were still looking at the officers and soldiers behind Wang Xinling.

Shanxi Road has already found out how the storehouse was burned down last night. The official who committed the crime has also been executed. Now there is no need for Jin Yiwei to investigate the case. Shanxi Road has found out the reasons behind it.

In addition, the officials were not ordinary people, so they did not need to petition the court for approval. After being convicted, they were all beheaded.

There is no need for Jin Yiwei to come and ask anything.

Wang Xinling's eyes were dark. Although he knew that none of the people in front of him was good, he did not expect that these people could be so shameless.

How could he say such blinding words in broad daylight?

Wang Xinling smiled faintly: "The Jiage Library was burned and destroyed, so you can be convicted according to the court rules. However, the official documents of Shanxi Province stored in the Jiage Library were also destroyed.

After hearing the news, Cao Zhen, the Marquis of Jingchuan, was furious in the camp, worried that the preparation of food and fodder needed for the army would be delayed again. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, His Highness sent his special officer to join his colleagues in the household department to enter the city to check the accounts and supervise the sorting out of various places in Taiyuan City as soon as possible.

The amount of grain and grass stored in the warehouse will prepare the necessary grain and grass supplies for the army as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, Wang Xinling looked around at the people in front of him, and then said: "Tai Sunyan, although the official warehouse in Taiyuan City was burned down, the accounts are not there. However, according to the rules, there must be another entry and exit in each warehouse.

Archive.

An unexpected incident occurred in the Taiyuan City official's warehouse. The officials must be at a loss as to what to do. The colleagues in the household department who are accompanying them are all the leaders in accounting in the court. In addition, yesterday, it was planned to enter the city to coordinate the accounting. Today is just right, and I will do it.

Take the lead and check the accounts of various places in Taiyuan City."

Song Shenggui had a troubled look on his face.

The Jiage warehouse was burned down, and all the government archives inside disappeared. But Zhu Yunxi still wanted to continue checking the accounts, and even started from various warehouses.

Seeing that Song Shenggui was silent, Changsun Gong lowered his eyes, coughed lightly and said, "This is what it should be, but it will trouble all colleagues in the household department."

This head, Sun Gong, was talking.

Over there, Sun Cheng had already waved his hand.

"check."

As soon as his words fell, all the Jin Yiwei officers and soldiers in the team got off their horses, pressed their embroidered spring knives on their waists, and rushed towards the ruins of the two government buildings.

Jin Yiwei's flying fish suit is enough to intimidate everyone present no matter where he is placed.

In addition to the Jinyi guards who were guarding Wang Xinling and others, hundreds of Jinyi guards were seen rushing towards the ruins of Jiageku.

The Jinyiwei carried the Xiuchun knife with a terrifying handle and kept rummaging through the ruins, seemingly to verify the authenticity of what the Shanxi Tao official said.

Zhou Yunkun, the envoy of Shanxi Daojing Chao and Si Jingchao, changed his expression and said in a deep voice: "Governor Wang, why is this?"

Wang Xinling did not speak, but turned to look at Sun Cheng who was standing aside.

Sun Cheng rode forward, sitting high on the horse, with a cold face, looking down at Zhou Yunkun: "Zhou Zhitai, I, the Jinyi Guard, are investigating the case. What do you need to explain to others?"

Zhou Yunkun's face tightened and he was suddenly speechless.

yes.

The world is vast and no one can interfere with the investigation of the Jinyiwei case. No one except the emperor can intervene in it.

Changsun Gong took a step forward and stood in front of Zhou Yunkun: "I have the governor to verify the incident involving the government's erection of the treasury last night. With the Jinyi Guards here, we can also check the truth. The government will not let the fish slip through the net."

While comforting the Jin Yiwei, Changsun Gong glanced at the Yulin Guard officers and soldiers wearing heavy armor who had not yet moved.

The Jinyi Guards are currently reviewing the burning of the Jia Ge Library, so why did the Yulin Guards come to the city?

Just as Changsun Gong was thinking about various possibilities.

Only a shout was heard, coming from the ruins of Jiageku.

"Reporting to the Zhenfu, the destruction of the Jiage Library was caused by someone deliberately setting the fire!"

A loud shout.

Sun Cheng, who was riding on horseback, immediately snorted coldly.

"drive."

Sun Cheng gave a low shout, and already drove his horse away from Chang Sun Gong and others, turning a blind eye and rushing towards the ruins of Jiageku.

Arson?

When Changsun Gong and others heard this, their faces were solemn and they felt uneasy. They didn't know what kind of trouble this was going to cause today.

Just when they were still hesitating about how to deal with it next.

Wang Xinling had already dismounted and, surrounded by Ma Hongqing and Niu Dafu, arrived in front of Changsun Gong and others.

With a smile on his face, Wang Xinling cupped his hands towards Changsun Gong and others: "Fantai, let's go over with Zhentai and Junmen to have a look. How did the Jin Yiwei find out and send it to Taisun?

The memorial is different."

During the second half of the sentence, Wang Xinling had already walked to the front of the crowd and seemed to be talking to himself.

Changsun Gong and others looked at each other with ugly expressions.

Guo Yuchuang's eyes were a bit sharp. He turned back to look at Song Shenggui, the prefect of Taiyuan. His eyes seemed to be able to scratch the life of the other person.

Song Shenggui was filled with doubts.

Last night, everyone rushed from Wangfen Tower. The first thing he did was ask all the Yamen servants to come to the Jia Ge Library. When the fire was extinguished by itself, he asked everyone to go up and search for a long time.

The name is to find the cause, but in fact it is to destroy all possible traces left behind.

It's impossible for Jin Yiwei to find out.

With his head full of confusion, Song Shenggui followed Guo Yuchuang's gaze to the ruins of Jiageku.

At this time, I saw that among the piles of ruins, many Jin Yiwei officers and soldiers had surrounded one place.

Sun Cheng, who was the first to come over, had already walked in.

Changsun Gong, Zhou Yunkun and others, including Wang Xinling, were all blocked outside by the Jinyi Guards.

Everyone had different thoughts and were anxiously waiting for Jin Yiwei's final conclusion.

After a long time.

But he saw Sun Cheng's face covered with gloom and he walked out with a dark face.

He looked up at the man from Shanxi Road and said in a cold voice: "This is probably the main room on the first floor of the Jiage warehouse."

Song Shenggui looked around and nodded, "Yes."

Sun Cheng snorted coldly: "The fire was deliberately pushed down and ignited the shelf of the cabinet, and then the fire broke out."

Reasonable speculation.

Sun Cheng stared dimly at the Shanxi Taoist in front of him.

Since Shanxi Road sent a memorial to the camp, it was said that it was caused by the soap official guarding the cabinet lighting the stove to keep warm and then leaving his post without permission.

Then, this stove must exist.

Similarly, in the pile of rubble behind him, there was indeed a stove buried under the rubble.

The expressions of Changsun Gong and others changed slightly.

Zhou Yunkun exclaimed, his face full of surprise: "How could this happen?"

What he said means different things to different people.

As Changsun Gong, Liu Liang, Song Shenggui and others listened, it was this Shanxi Taoist who was questioning why the Jinyiwei people could actually see what happened here last night.

Among the group of people, Sun Gong, the feudal leader in charge of the civil affairs of Shanxi Province, was the first to react and snorted coldly: "Could it be that the officials guarding the warehouse are colluding with the thieves? Is there a secret behind this?"

Liu Liang also reacted and his face darkened: "How brave! Investigate! Our Shanxi Province must investigate this matter strictly and find out the truth!"

Looking at the people acting in front of me.

Sun Cheng sneered in his heart, but immediately said calmly: "What kind of thief has such courage? He dares to collude with the government officials and set fire to the government's cabinets and warehouses?"

Wang Xinling also curiously walked around the ruins twice: "Does your Jiage warehouse on Shanxi Road still store money and grain on weekdays? Otherwise, even if there are thieves, the Jiage warehouse should not be burned down."

As he spoke, the young governor became more and more curious and paced around the ruins.
