Chapter 464 Prepare to meet the imperial envoy
Yushitai impeached himself?
Liu Ruyu said that he was not afraid at all.
Although his family is a bit poor, what is their reputation among literati?
How can any censor help this group of people and impeach their family?
But after Mr. Xu finished speaking, other officials behind him also agreed.
"Yes, Master Censor, how could you just block our transfer office without any discrimination?"
"Students have been helping you do your accounting these past few days, and I also think your so-called accounting method is really unbelievable."
"Your Excellency firmly believes in this method. I don't know where I got some data to put the charges on the people in our transshipment department."
Everyone questioned the accounting method used by Liu Ruyu, and some people diverted their attention.
"I heard that this method was taught by Zhao Ce, a righteous citizen of this government. Then Zhao Ce is a scholar. How can he handle accounts?"
"Master Zhao's imperial examination results are so good, where does he find the time to study the account books?"
"Yes, his family was busy doing business, fighting wars, and helping the government defend the city. He was overwhelmed with so many things. How could he come up with such a magical method?"
After the man finished speaking, many people's eyes turned to him.
The man looked back with some confusion, and suddenly seemed to have woken up.
Yes, they are really busy and do everything very well.
He scratched his head and quickly changed his tone: "Anyway, we don't believe this accounting!"
Others also agreed, and the main hall was noisy for a while, like a vegetable market.
This was transferred to the Salt Envoy Department, which is in charge of the local salt department.
All the salt passes through their hands.
Liu Ruyu found out that there was so much salt missing from the accounts that the above officials alone would definitely not be able to finish it all.
The little shrimps below are more or less involved.
When everyone was in danger, they naturally followed their leader and united to face the outsider Liu Ruyu.
Liu Ruyu didn't have a gavel in his hand, so he could only stand up directly, slapped the table and said: "Quiet!"
"Since you think you are not guilty, then cooperate with my investigation."
"If you dare to disrupt my trial again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The scene fell silent for a while.
Mr. Xu also quickly said: "Everyone, please be patient. Your Majesty the Censor will definitely handle the matter impartially and will not unjustly accuse us."
After finishing speaking, Mr. Xu said to Liu Ruyu: "Your Majesty's method of checking accounts is indeed unheard of by the officials and others."
"How about this, your Excellency, wait for our people from the Transshipment Department to check all the accounts, and then compare them with what your Excellency has verified?"
Liu Ruyu said: "Hey, aren't I checking the accounts with you right now?"
Liu Ruyu opened the account book and checked with these people one by one.
Not surprisingly, everyone was hesitant and unable to answer.
All the remaining salt was sold privately at low prices. How can we say this?
Seeing them like this, Liu Ruyu knew that he couldn't ask.
He said directly: "In that case, your lords will stay on duty to check, and then make a decision after I inform Your Majesty."
Please ask Your Majesty to stay on duty for inspection?
Doesn't this basically convict them and ask His Majesty to strip them of their official positions and let them wait at home to be put into prison for trial?
Master Lu suddenly said: "Wait a minute, sir!"
"I suddenly remembered something!"
Liu Ruyu glanced at him and said, "Go ahead."
Mr. Lu looked directly at Zhao Ce who was listening to the interrogation next to him, and said in a positive tone: "Zhao Yishi received the imperial title because he captured the drama thief Gu Sanzi."
Seeing that he suddenly brought the topic to him, Zhao Ce nodded directly and said: "Not bad."
Mr. Lu added: "The lower official heard that this thief Gu Sanzi had previously discovered a salt mine in the mountain and joined forces with the chieftain to mine private salt."
"Zhao Yishi was kidnapped by thieves in this drama. You know the location of this salt mine!"
Liu Ruyu frowned and looked at him, not understanding what he meant by his words.
Zhao Ce said calmly: "The student was kidnapped and went up the mountain with his classmates, wives and family members, without paying attention to the specific route."
"No, you know!"
Mr. Lu pressed forward step by step: "The garrison went up the mountain to rescue you. You just need to remember the way down the mountain."
Zhao Ce raised his eyebrows and looked at Mr. Xu who suddenly became energetic in front of him.
Is this going to bite you back?
Zhao Ce smiled and said, "What if you know or don't know?"
"With so many native wolf soldiers on the mountain, the students didn't have time to go there anymore."
Mr. Lu became completely energetic. He waved his sleeves and put them directly behind his back.
"That's the problem!"
"You have been at the salt mine for a long time and know the location of the salt mine. You have a chance to unite with that group of people!"
"I would make a bold guess that you may also have a batch of salt in your hands!"
"You taught this so-called accounting method to the Royal Censor just so that you can legitimately handle your batch of salt through the accounts of our Transshipment Department!"
Oops!
After Mr. Lu finished speaking, everyone present could not help but gasp.
Master Xu on the side looked at him dumbfounded and almost wanted to applaud him!
He can relate to all of this, and what he said makes sense!
After listening to his words, Liu Ruyu frowned and thought about the connection.
Zhao Ce couldn't hold it in any longer, he lowered his head and coughed lightly, with a smile in his eyes.
Mr. Lu has such meticulous reasoning ability. Doesn't it mean that he is not qualified to be the salt department?
But Mr. Xu and his group found a gap in it and began to output towards this gap one after another.
Mr. Xu said: "Yes, what Director Lu Yan said makes sense!"
"Although Zhao Ce has an excellent reputation, it doesn't prove anything."
"Since he is also suspected, the accounting method he mentioned cannot be used!"
"In the imperial examination, we have to avoid relatives and related people. This is related to the accounts of our salt department. The method taught by Zhao Ce, who is suspected of selling for personal gain, cannot be used!"
Liu Ruyu was simply shocked.
He had been in the capital before and this was the first time he was sent out on official business.
Although he had done a lot of homework before and basically found out the matter.
But I didn't expect that this group of people would actually get into this in order to delay time!
The point is, what they said makes sense!
Zhao Ce also looked at them speechlessly.
"My lords, you are overly concerned. General Feng, our commander, and General Mao Feng, the chief military officer's confidant, both proved the student's innocence."
Mr. Xu refused and directly said nonsensically: "Then let these two people prove your innocence, and we will discuss whether your method can be used!"
This Maofeng man was in the provincial capital and most likely went to Guangxi to suppress the chieftains.
As soon as this news comes and goes, they can delay it for enough time!
When the other people in the transportation department heard this, they all became energetic instantly.
There is help!
They all echoed the protest, and the scene suddenly became noisy again.
Liu Ruyu, a cheap censor, was also shocked by the brain circuits of these people, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
At this time, Zheng Wu led a few soldiers and broke in from the door.
Mr. Lu was horrified and said: "Zhao Ce, what do you mean?"
"Once we reveal your true identity, will you use force?"
"We are ordered by the imperial court..."
Zheng Wu didn't know why he glanced at him, but he didn't dare to neglect him. He directly interrupted his words and loudly reported: "Master Yushi, Mr. Zhao."
Chapter completed!
