She Doesn’t Want To Work Hard Anymore

  Chapter 310 Trap

  The wood that can be regarded as the beam of the Taimiao must go through layers of inspection.

  Never possible to be worm-eaten.

  And judging from the extent of these beams, it should have been a while.

  Use this kind of rotten wood to make beams, and after an earthquake, it’s strange that the Taimiao doesn’t collapse.

  Li Ji immediately reported the matter to the emperor.

  The emperor is ordering people to check the truth about the collapse of the Taimiao. Upon hearing this, he immediately dispatched officials from the Ministry of Industry to Taimiao.

  After verification, those beams that were hollowed out by insects happened to be the palace rooms that had just been repaired.

  A closer inspection found that these beams were all newly replaced.

  It’s not a weird thing to replace the crossbeams when the Taimiao was repaired. The crossbeams were also replaced during the repairs a few years ago.

  But the newly replaced crossbeam was worm-eaten, which is a big problem.

  The second prince Li Hao and the fifth prince Li Yan were arraigned,

When asked where the beams used to repair the Taimiao came from, the second prince Li Hao said he was at a loss.

   "Those beams were bought by the fifth brothers. I have never had my hands before. I don't know anything."

  The fifth prince Li Yan was a little nervous: "Is there any problem with those beams?"

  Shangshu of the Criminal Department said politely and hardly.

   "His Royal Highnesses just tell the truth, other matters will be dealt with by the officials."

   During this period of time in the prison of Dali Temple, Li Yan has always been restless.

  In just a few days, he lost a lot of weight, and his expression looked rather haggard.

  At this time, he was like a frightened bird, and he could no longer see the arrogance and arrogance in the ordinary day.

  Li Yan unconsciously tightened his sleeves and answered carefully.

"We bought it from a timber merchant at a high price. He said that these pieces of wood are rare in thousands of years. They are not only strong and durable, but also have fine and beautiful grain. They are the most suitable for beams. "

  Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry asked: "Who is that timber merchant? What is his name and where does he live?"

  Li Yan hesitated and said: "These trivial matters are handled by people under my hands, and I am not very clear."

  Shangshu of the Criminal Department was not commenting on this answer.

  He continued to ask: "How much did it cost to buy the beam?"

  Li Yan hesitated for a while before uttering a number.

   "Two hundred thousand taels of silver."

   is indeed a high price, but if the beams are really the best wood that is rare in a thousand years, it is worth the price.

However, Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry questioned: "Is it really only spent 200,000 taels? The household department has very detailed account records. According to the records, you once spent 900,000 taels of silver from the household department for the purchase of beams. "

  Li Yan's face suddenly turned pale.

  "How could there be so much? I only spent three hundred thousand taels..."

  The words stopped abruptly before they were finished.

  When he met the sharp eyes of Shang Shu of the Criminal Department, he understood that the other party was deliberately defrauding him.

  And he was fooled.

  Li Yan slumped down on the ground, full of only one thought left--

  It's over!

  ……

  Shangshu of the Criminal Department entered the palace with a confession to see him.

  He saw Wu Wang at the entrance of the Imperial Study Room and said with a smile.

   "Thank you Gong Gong Wu for the point yesterday."

  Most of the civil officials had a prejudice against eunuchs. They felt that these eunuchs were only villains who would only greet and flatter and confuse the lord. In fact, Shang Shu of the Criminal Ministry looked down on these eunuchs.

  But he has always been a man, knowing that Wu Wang is a useful person by the emperor's side, he can't easily offend him.

  If you meet him on weekdays, Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry will take the initiative to say hello to the other party to show friendship.

   Yesterday, Wu Wang accidentally mentioned that the five princes have recently had a lot of money and bought a lot of good things. It must be a fortune.

  Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry happened to be investigating the case of the collapse of the Taimiao Temple, and he suddenly thought of corruption.

   With the idea of ​​giving it a try, he defrauded the fifth prince, but he did not expect to be defrauded by him.

  This is really a surprise!

   Seeing that the case was about to come to an end, Shang Shu of the Criminal Department was happy in his heart, and even his attitude towards Wu Wang became more and more kind.

  Wu Wang was very puzzled.

  "What are you talking about, what did the slave-maid point to you? The slave-maid doesn't understand what you mean."

  Shangshu of the Criminal Department showed a clear expression: "I understand, I understand, you didn't say anything, I just thought it out. Anyway, thank you very much this time. I will ask you to have tea someday."

  Wu Wang did not answer the conversation, but respectfully and authentically.

   "Your Majesty declares you to go in and speak."

   Pushing open the door, Xingbu Shangshu walked in.

  He gave a full account of what he had investigated.

  After listening to the emperor, there was no anger on his face, but his eyes were extremely cold.

  It turns out that the reason why the Taimiao collapsed was because the fifth prince Li Yan used power for personal gain and bought inferior wood of unknown origin at a high price as a result of the beam.

  The emperor asked blankly: "Has the timber merchant found it?"

  Shangshu of the Criminal Department answered truthfully: "Weichen has sent someone to look for it, but he didn't find it. The other party should have run away long ago."

  The emperor smiled coldly: "Very good."

  This is obviously a game set by others in advance.

  Whether it is Xu Yi who is going to be unknown, or a mysterious and unknown timber merchant, they are actually in the same group.

  From the moment the emperor ordered to repair the Taimiao, the group had already begun to plan the layout.

  The next step is under their control.

  What angered the emperor most was that Li Yan easily got into the trap set by others for the sake of a mere one hundred thousand taels of silver.

  Stupid! It's so stupid!

   Realizing that the emperor is in a bad mood, Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry dare not ask more.

It took a long time to hear the emperor say something coldly.

   "Release the second prince."

   "Here."

As soon as    waited for the others to leave, the emperor immediately covered his heart, frowned and his face was frighteningly pale.

  Zuo Ji hurriedly ordered people to bring the medicine bottle, pour out two pills and feed them to the emperor.

  After taking the medicine, the emperor felt a little more comfortable in his heart, but his face was still extremely ugly.

  He was hurt many years ago and he hit an arrow in his heart. Although he saved his life, he left the sequelae of angina.

  After careful treatment by the imperial physicians over the years, his heart disease has been much better, and he can hardly see any abnormalities in normal days, but as long as his mood fluctuates too much, the heart disease will still occur.

  For this reason, the imperial physicians specially developed a pain-relieving pill for the emperor.

  Every time the emperor had a heart attack, he only had to take two pills to relieve it a little.

  Zuo Ji asked: "Would you like to ask a doctor to come over and show you?"

  The emperor waved his hand, saying no.

  He slowed his breathing, telling himself over and over again that he shouldn’t get angry because of a stupid son.

  He is not only such a son.

  Since Li Yan is not a weapon, put hope on other sons.

  The country of the Great Zhou will not have no one to succeed.
