Seemingly sensing Song Huan's doubts, Qian Zhutong continued to write: "In fact, the vanguard army led by General Cheng was indispensable for repelling Bei Yuan this time!"
"As for Xu Rong's Xu Jiajun, they only got a good reputation by following behind and picking up the pieces."
"It's just that General Cheng Tianlin is young, has no experience in this field, and never takes these false reputations seriously, so he never fights for anything."
Qian Zhutong's words coincided with what Cheng Tianlin told him before.
It seems that Xu Rong, an old man, is not only greedy for money and lustful, but also a hypocrite who only likes to grab credit!
Song Huan said seriously: "Having said so much, do you still have any evidence that Xu Rong has been corrupt and perverted the law over the years?"
When this matter was brought up, Qian Zhutong looked ashamed and shook his head in embarrassment.
Thinking about it, he was so loyal to Xu Rong in the past, how could he keep the evidence against Xu Rong to this day?
However, Qian Zhutong is now poisoned by Xu Rong, and if he can't produce any evidence, it really won't be enough to bring Xu Rong down in one fell swoop!
Song Huan pondered for a while, and suddenly, a very bold idea came to his mind.
"Old Qian, you don't have any evidence at hand now, and your words are unfounded, which is not enough to bring Xu Rong down in one fell swoop."
"But if you can write down the list of businessmen who bribed Xu Rong, I will have many ways to make them talk!"
this……
Is this true?
Qian Zhutong had no doubts about the fourth prince's abilities.
However, Xu Rong believed even more how reliable those businessmen's mouths were!
After all, he was the famous General Hu Fu.
Who dares to offend?
However, looking at Song Huan's sworn face, and recalling how his whole family almost died at the hands of Xu Rong...
A blood feud, a life-and-death feud!
Finally, Qian Zhutong gritted his teeth and began to write quickly on the paper.
After filling two pages, the list of businessmen who had bribed Xu Rong was finally completed.
Looking at the densely packed names on the letter, Xu Rong felt his eyes straighten and his scalp numb.
Xu Rong, behead the wife!
So scary!
Song Huan made a rough calculation and found that the bribes Xu Rong had received over the years amounted to tens of millions of taels of silver.
You can't tell that as a general who has been leading troops for many years, he has slept with a lot of people, and he has not lost a penny of the money he should have earned!
Seeing Song Huan carefully folding the list and putting it in his arms, Qian Zhutong couldn't help but feel a little curious.
"Your Highness, how do you plan to treat these businessmen?"
"They are very strict in their tone. They will never confess Xu Rong easily even if they are tortured to extract a confession!"
Song Huan grinned when he saw the question Qian Zhutong wrote on the paper.
The secret must not be leaked. How can you tell others such an important thing casually?
"Don't worry, I have my own way!"
…
After breakfast the next morning.
"Master Taishi, please stay!"
Shangguan Yi was walking slowly towards the palace gate, but unexpectedly, a summons came from far behind.
Looking back, Shangguan Yi couldn't help showing a slightly doubtful expression when he saw that the person who came was actually the Fourth Prince Song Huan.
"I pay my respects to the Fourth Prince!"
"I wonder if His Highness the Fourth Prince has any orders?"
Song Huan pretended to be exaggerated and looked around a few times.
After confirming that there was no one else around, he mysteriously pulled Shangguan Yi aside.
"This morning at court, I saw that Xu Rong was very disrespectful to the Grand Master, and I was really a little angry!"
"Master Taishi has been loyal and cautious for many years. He is still active in my Daliang court even though he is nearly 60 years old. He is truly a role model for all ministers!"
"Even though the general has made great achievements in battle, he is so disrespectful to the Grand Master. I really can't stand it!"
Song Huan's overly affectionate behavior naturally aroused Shangguan Yi's vigilance.
"It doesn't matter. Sir, thank you very much for Your Highness's generous words!"
"It's just that General Xu is a military commander, so it is inevitable that he will have a more outspoken temper."
"He is a junior, and it is appropriate for the veteran to give him some concessions."
Looking at Shangguan Yi's pretentious smile, Song Huan snickered in his heart.
This old fox can pretend to be generous and act as if nothing has happened in front of him.
Privately, I was afraid that I wanted to cut Xu Rong into pieces!
"Hey, Master Taishi's tolerance for people is really admirable!"
"If Xu Rong is just arrogant, it's just a matter of blame."
"only……"
Song Huan lowered his voice and leaned slightly towards Shangguan Yi.
"I heard that the general has been out on the field for many years, and he has benefited a lot from it!"
"You only need to look at the accounts of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War to get a rough idea..."
Song Huan's words made Shangguan Yi's eyelids twitch slightly!
To be fair, over the years, Shangguan Yi has always suspected that there are big problems with the expenditures for the war with Beiyuan!
Every time the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry reported an extremely huge amount of bills to the Ministry of Household Affairs, Shangguan Yi wanted to investigate, but unfortunately the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry were all Xu Rong's spies, so Shangguan Yi had no choice but to give up.
Now that he heard Song Huan's guess, Shangguan Yi couldn't help but feel a little excited.
It seems that my original guess was indeed correct!
But, how did the fourth prince know?
Facing Song Huan, Shangguan Yi tried his best to suppress his surprise.
"No way?"
"As far as I know, General Xu is dedicated to his duties and works hard without complaint."
"How could you do such an outrageous thing?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Song Huan couldn't help but cursed in his heart. Shangguan Yi, an old fox, was simply undermining his talent by not acting!
If this guy were to act in a movie, he would get a lifetime achievement award no matter what!
"Alas, I also hope this matter is false!"
"only……"
With that said, Song Huan took out a list of names from his pocket and secretly stuffed it into Shangguan Yi's hand.
"I only got this list from hearsay."
"I don't know if it's accurate yet, so I don't dare to present it to my father rashly!"
"Your Majesty, Grand Master, is of high moral character. It is most appropriate to hand over such a thing to Your Excellency."
If the guess is correct, this old guy will definitely pretend to shirk and push to the limit!
Sure enough, Shangguan Yi was extremely surprised when she saw the list Song Huansai came in!
"oops!"
"This, this, this..."
"I have not been interested in the affairs of the court for many years. Thanks to His Majesty's care, I have not returned to my hometown..."
"Your Highness has given me such an important thing. How can I afford it?"
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it!"
"Deserving!" Song Huan insisted on handing the list to Shangguan Yi, "You are not worthy, who is?"
"Looking at the entire Daliang Chaotang, apart from the Grand Master, there is no other person worthy of him!"
"Besides, I said this list is just what I heard from hearsay and is for reference only!"
"Master Taishi, just look at it casually, that's fine!"
After saying that, Song Huan ran away as if he had greased the soles of his feet.
