Thirteen people at once, was this a package?
Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment before he said in a low voice,"Qin Huaiyu, don't speak nonsense in the royal court.”
When Qin Huaiyu heard Wei Zheng's words, he smiled and said,"Physician Wei, I dare to stand out, so I have confidence. Moreover, this memorial has been prepared long ago, but I didn't have the chance to speak just now.”
Qin Huaiyu's voice was neither servile nor overbearing, giving off a feeling of confidence.
Qin Shubao sized up Qin Huaiyu from head to toe in the army of generals. He didn't even know where Qin Huaiyu knew these people. Hadn't Qin Huaiyu just become an Imperial Censor?
Qin Huaiyu stood there, and anyone who looked at him would feel a chill down their spine.
Wei Zheng, this old fellow, always made things difficult for the Emperor. As long as they did not provoke him, everything would be fine. However, Qin Huaiyu, this fellow, was a little too ruthless.
Cui Qingyuan is accusing you of beating someone up, and then there's nothing between the two of you.
Who would have thought that Qin Huaiyu, who couldn't even be touched, would be able to kill thirteen of them in one go?
The key was that it looked like it was real. He spoke with a sense of propriety. No matter how he looked at it, it did not seem like it was his first time attending court.
Li Shi Min's gaze fell on Qin Huaiyu as he said,"Qin Huaiyu, do you know that the Imperial Court is not a place for trifling matters? If you leave now, I will spare your sins on account of your youth and ignorance.”
"If you insist on participating in the memorial, we will treat you equally.”
Li Shi Min's words caused all the officials to mutter in their hearts, but none of them spoke.
Who was Qin Huaiyu? He was Qin Shubao's son and was about to become the Prince Consort. Princess Changle was not an ordinary princess. It did not matter even if Qin Huaiyu used some backdoor connections.
After all, they were all half-dead people, while Qin Huaiyu was still a youth.
Qin Huaiyu heard Li Shiming's undisguised favoritism and said respectfully,"Your Majesty, this humble subject heard Minister Fang say that the Ministry of Revenue is short of money, so I spoke out for justice.”
"Just now, this humble subject mentioned that out of the thirteen people who will be participating in the memorial, ten of them are guilty of corruption.”
"There are hundreds of thousands of dollars in corruption. I believe that once it is investigated, it will ease the urgency of the national treasury.”
Qin Huaiyu's lips curled into a smile, but the breathing in the court became heavier.
Hundreds of thousands.
This amount of money was almost equivalent to the tax surplus of the Great Tang. If this was true, then this matter would probably be recorded in the annals of history.
Hearing Qin Huaiyu's words, Fang Xuanling immediately stepped forward and said sternly,""Censor Qin, do you know what you're talking about? Hundreds of thousands of strings. With these hundreds of thousands of strings, the crisis of the Great Tang's treasury can be resolved.”
"How can a few corrupt people do this?”
Qin Huaiyu shook his head and looked at Fang Xuanling.""Minister Fang, your knowledge of silver is still too little.”
When he said this, the whole hall was shocked.
"What a joke. Do you know who you're facing?”
"Yeah, I thought you had some temperament, but I didn't expect you to be so dumb.”
"Minister Fang is in charge of the Great Tang's Ministry of Revenue, and all the money in the world is in his hands.”
"Ridiculous to the extreme. Qin Huaiyu, tell me, what have you seen at your age?”
Qin Huaiyu's eyes swept across everyone. From the beginning to the end, there was only a faint smile on his face. He took a few steps forward and said to someone,"Have you ever seen silver piled up into mountains and built into walls?”
"Have you ever seen a bed made of money and slept on it day and night?”
"Have you ever seen a manor specially bought for the purpose of hiding money?”
Qin Huaiyu's words made everyone feel as if everything in front of them was silver.
Only Fang Xuanling remained silent because he had seen all of this before. There was an uncountable amount of money in the national treasury. However, when Qin Huaiyu stood in front of him, he said,"Minister Fang doesn't seem to think so."
"This humble subject will also ask, have you ever seen a mountain range connected to silver mines? A shepherd child can casually pick up a fine silver mine!”
Fang Xuanling's calm face was filled with shock. He was now certain that Qin Huaiyu was talking about a natural top-grade silver mine. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such an exposed ore.
He had done the most research on this. If there really was a place like what Qin Huaiyu had said…
Then he was probably really a frog at the bottom of a well.
Fang Xuanling let out a long breath and shook his head slowly.
Qin Huaiyu smiled as he looked at him and thought to himself, You haven't seen He Shen yet. That's a corrupt official with wealth comparable to a country. He said,"Minister Fang, the Great Tang is not short of money. It's just that the commoners are hiding money in troubled times and corrupt officials are hiding it. A few corrupt officials can hide a hundred thousand strings.”
"Not surprising!"
Fang Xuanling heard Qin Huaiyu's words and knew that this was a knife that Qin Huaiyu had handed to him. Li Shiming's gaze also fell on him, as if he was carrying a heavy burden. He didn't believe it before, but now he had no choice but to say it.
He could only say,"I haven't seen it with my own eyes. Your words can't be true."”
Qin Huaiyu secretly praised Fang Xuanling for being an old fox. He immediately bowed to Li Shiming and said,"Your Majesty, I can record everything I say. If I'm lying, you can do whatever you want!”
Li Shi Min's face was filled with rage. He had seen how amazing Qin Huaiyu was yesterday, and he was now somewhat certain of his identity. He said,"Brush and ink, I want to see how many vermin there are in the Great Tang.”
"If we don't investigate thoroughly today, no one can leave.”
Qin Huaiyu narrowed his eyes and raised his head to look at Li Shiming."Your Majesty, yesterday, you added a vassal to the title of Imperial General. He can command a hundred people and wear armor and knives. I wonder if you can let this general investigate personally!”
"If you can't get 100,000 yuan from the raid, I'll bring my head to see you.”
Li Shi Min's expression didn't change, and no one could tell what was going on. In the end, he only said one word,"Allow!"
