Chapter 164: Military officials selling military equipment
After a busy day yesterday, Xu Jinyu was still drowsy and lying on Nanny He's back during the morning court session the next day.
After entering the court room, he found a place to lie down and catch up on his sleep. It was not until the ceremonial officer announced the start of the court session that Xu Jinyu stood up shakily.
The man stood up, but his eyes were still closed.
Emperor Xuan above saw the situation clearly and deliberately lowered his voice so as not to wake up the ancestors below.
Xu Jinyu did sleep well this morning.
There isn't much to do today, mainly dealing with the illegal thefts from noble families revealed by Xu Jinyu yesterday, such as the head of the Qi family who stole the imperial tomb of the previous dynasty.
The head of the Qi family was taken to the court but still refused to accept it: "Your Majesty, I stole the imperial tomb of the previous dynasty. The emperor of the previous dynasty committed atrocities and perverse acts, which led to the establishment of our Daqian."
"This is for my own good."
Emperor Xuan lightly lifted his eyelids and looked at the head of the Qi family with disgust: "For the good of Daqian? Does Daqian need those corpses, or does it need the infamy of future generations?"
"Just be a pervert if you want to be one, don't look for some high-sounding excuse."
The Daqian people attached great importance to funerals and believed in treating death as life, so there were many fine things in the tombs of emperors of all dynasties.
Emperor Xuan just thought about the possibility that his tomb would be robbed after his death, or that he might meet a pervert like the head of the Qi family again.
Or you may meet someone more perverted than the head of the Qi family. The head of the Qi family likes the corpses of concubines. According to the report from the internal guards, the corpses of the concubines of the previous dynasty were polished to a shine by the head of the Qi family.
Emperor Xuan didn't want his corpse to be polished and smooth by a man one day. Just thinking about such a scene was terrifying.
Emperor Xuan shuddered and coldly announced the verdict of the head of the Qi family.
The culprit, the head of the Qi family, was beheaded immediately.
Those involved in this matter will be exiled three thousand miles away.
The head of the Qi family once again defended himself at the top of his voice: "Your Majesty, that is the imperial tomb of the previous dynasty, the previous dynasty!"
"so what?"
Emperor Xuan's expression was still icy: "Your Qi family is also a family with a history of thousands of years. Should I dig out the officials of your Qi family who served the previous dynasty and grind their bones to dust?"
"After all, they are officials from the previous dynasty."
The head of the Qi family was stunned for a moment. When did His Majesty's thinking become so weird?
All officials: It seems that Your Majesty has also been led astray by Lord Xu.
The head of the Qi family was stunned for a moment and then shut his mouth tightly. If he really angered His Majesty and His Majesty dug up the ancestral grave of his Qi family, then he would be the eternal sinner of the Qi family.
However, the head of the Qi family's eyes were still rolling around, trying to find a glimmer of hope for himself.
Suddenly, the head of the Qi family thought of something.
"Your Majesty, I have a report on a minister in the court colluding with the enemy and betraying the country."
"Oh~~"
Emperor Xuan understood that this was the last move of the Qi family leader, and there was a high possibility that he would drag more people into the water.
The credibility of the news is not high.
"tell me the story."
The head of the Qi family pointed at a particularly burly man among the officials and said loudly: "When Jiang Hai, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, was stationed at Beilang Pass, he sold military equipment to bandits."
"We sell it every year, and we always sell it in large quantities."
Jiang Hai was completely confused. Wasn't he just talking about tomb robbery? How did this happen to him?
However, Jiang Hai came out quickly and said, "Your Majesty, Master Qi is slandering me now. I have never sold arms."
"Beilangguan is the first checkpoint to stop the grassland wolf riders. Its location is crucial. How dare I sell arms? Isn't this sending the brothers of Beilangguan to their death?"
"Your Majesty, I am innocent!"
In anger, Jiang Hai's voice unconsciously became louder.
Xu Jinyu, who had been sleeping for most of the day, woke up with a start.
Xu Jinyu wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and looked around.
[Unfair, who did the emperor wrong? He didn't do his job all day. ]
The cold expression on Emperor Xuan's face froze. Now that his ancestor had woken up, it would be clear whether Jiang Hai was really selling arms.
Jiang Hai was delighted when he heard Xu Jinyu's voice, so he said in a louder voice: "Master Qi, if you say that I, Jiang Hai, sell arms, then I sell arms. Where is the evidence? You can't say that I am collaborating with the enemy and selling out my country just by your words!"
"Of course there is evidence."
Seeing the hope of survival, the head of the Qi family smiled and said, "I have the letter of your transaction with the bandits, and your seal is on the letter. You can't deny it even if you want to."
【Let me see if this letter is real or fake. 】
Jiang Hai and the head of the Qi family held their breath at the same time because of nervousness.
The head of the Qi family remained firm: Of course it is true, the seal on the letter cannot deceive anyone.
Jiang Hai was equally firm: I didn't sell any arms, it must be the head of the Qi family who framed me.
【The letter is half true and half false.】
The head of the Qi family widened his eyes: What do you mean by a letter that is half true and half false!
[The letter was written by someone else, but the seal is real.]
Jiang Hai's eyes widened: How is it possible! He personally keeps all his seals.
Thinking of this, Jiang Hai suddenly turned his head and looked at the head of the Qi family.
"Did you steal my seal?"
The head of the Qi family looked at Jiang Hai with contempt: "You underestimate Beilang Pass. My people can enter Beilang Pass and steal things."
"I found the letter in the bandit's den after I wiped out a group of bandits."
[What do you mean you wiped out a bunch of bandits? Those bandits were obviously raised by your Qi family. If anyone dared to steal your business, you would send bandits to kill them.]
[This attitude is even more powerful than that of the emperor. Even the emperor has to be patient when he encounters an official who makes him extremely angry.]
Xu Jinyu's disdainful voice came, and the head of the Qi family's legs softened and he knelt on the ground with a "thump!"
In a hurry, he actually forgot the existence of Lord Xu and added another crime to himself. This time he is going to die.
But before I die, there must be someone to take the blame for me.
The head of the Qi family insisted that it was Jiang Hai who was selling arms.
Emperor Xuan extended his hand toward the inner guards.
The internal security guard handed over the small notebook at the right time.
After flipping through a few pages, Emperor Xuan said calmly: "That bandit was raised by your Qi family. Your Qi family is really familiar with framing others."
The head of the Qi family: "I didn't frame you, the letter is real!"
[It really wasn't the Qi family leader who framed me. ]
Jiang Hai: Not true! I definitely did not collaborate with the enemy and sell out my country.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty..."
[But Jiang Hai really didn't sell any weapons. What's going on? ]
Emperor Xuan: "???"
That is how the matter?
The letter is real, and Jiang Hai did not sell arms, so what is fake?
[Hahahaha... Talents! As expected, there is no shortage of talents no matter where you go. ]
Emperor Xuan widened his eyes: Just tell me!
The heart of the Minister of War rose and fell with Xu Jinyu. Jiang Hai was his subordinate. If Jiang Hai sold military equipment, he, the Minister of War, would be in trouble.
[This is a scam, a blatant scam. Using Jiang Hai's seal to scam bandits, every scam works.]
[The only cost is a few pieces of paper and Jiang Hai's seal, which is a huge profit. ]
