After the woman took out the account book from the inner room and handed it to Xu He, Xu He did not open the account book immediately.
He handed the account book to Ding Ze, turned around and said to the woman: "Sister-in-law, due to the current situation, I did something too hasty, please bear with me."
Everyone in the Wang family knew that what he was talking about was to slap Wang Xuedao as punishment.
Hearing this, everyone in the Wang family remained silent.
Although everyone now believes that Xu He was not the one who forced Wang Xuedao to go to a dead end, after all, their husband and father were slapped by another person, and they could not overcome this hurdle.
Xu He also had mixed feelings in his heart. Although Wang Xuedao did not seem to benefit from the scandal in the former military governor's mansion, he was also an accomplice of the criminal.
Slap him, no problem.
But after all, death is the most important thing, and he also regrets it. If he had used a less humiliating punishment at that time, the situation might be different now.
Thinking of this, he said to Wang Xuedao's wife: "Sister-in-law, now that Wang Du is gone, the account book he left behind may become your bane in the future. In this case, I will ask someone to send you back to your hometown!"
"But..." The three brothers wanted to speak at the same time.
Xu He looked at them.
Yes, one wants to marry a wife in the capital, the other wants to be a junior student, and the other wants to go to school and want to leave. How can it be so easy?
But Xu He nodded and said, "Don't worry about your brothers' affairs. I will help you make proper arrangements when the time comes!"
The three brothers wanted to talk more, but Wang Xuedao's wife had read books and knew the priorities. After stopping the three brothers, she knelt down and said, "That woman just thanked the consort!"
Xu He nodded, turned around and told Ding Ze: "Send some people to escort the Wang family back to their hometown in Henan after the incident in Wangdu!"
When they heard that the other party had even found out where the Wang family's hometown was, they stopped fussing and resigned themselves to fate.
In fact, Xu He was doing it for their own good. If something happened in the former military governor's house in the future, they would definitely be implicated if they stayed in the capital. It would be better to leave. Without Wang Xuedao, and he was not in the capital, naturally those who wanted to cause trouble would Much less.
After leaving Wang's house, Xu He hurried to Xu Song's house.
Xu Song and others happened to be at home today. Everyone was very surprised when they heard that Xu He had accidentally obtained the account book from Wang Xuedao's family.
"It seems that those people have done a lot of bad things over the years, otherwise Wang Xuedao wouldn't be so frightened that he needs to keep accounts!" Xie Kun sighed as he looked at the account book in Xu Song's hand.
Xu He nodded: "Poor Wang Xuedao, I never dreamed that he couldn't even get out of the Yamen, so he was forced to death."
At this time, Xu Song, who was looking at the account book, suddenly said "Hey".
Xie Kun asked curiously: "Mr. Ge, what did you see?"
Now Xie Kun has become the uncle of Xu He's wife because of Zhang Huiheng. With this level of relatives in the two families, his relationship with the Xu family will naturally become closer.
Xu Song turned around and handed the account book to Xie Kun.
After watching for a moment, Xie Kun took a breath and looked at Xu Song in surprise: "Mr. Ge, waste..."
Having said this, he carefully looked outside, and then continued: "The matter involves deposing the crown prince, which is very difficult to handle!"
The deposed prince Zhang Yan was born from the mourning empress Lu's family. He had raped a woman while worshiping the ancestral mausoleum in Baiju Pavilion, and was later cut by the woman with scissors and his face was disfigured. After returning to the capital, Emperor Zheng was furious and deposed the prince. He took over his position as prince and became a commoner.
However, Zhang Yan, a commoner, is not really a commoner. He still lives in Wujin Mansion in the inner city. I heard that he plays songs every day and his life is happier than before.
Therefore, the world is surprised, you have been crippled, but you can live comfortably with the money you used?
Some people speculate that Emperor Zhizheng secretly stuffed the inner treasury with money because he felt sorry for his son; others say that it was the money he accumulated when he was the prince.
Now it seems that both are inaccurate, the deposed prince actually still has a [serious] living.
Half an hour later, Xu Peng put down his pen, pushed the abacus aside, and then said to Xu Song and others: "According to the account books, a total of more than 6,000 acres of military land was occupied! According to his instructions, the Ministry of War and the former Army Governor's Mansion totaled We took from the various guards more than 10,000 swords, more than 2,000 bows and crossbows, and countless arrows!"
"By the way, there are ten cannons!"
After Xu Peng finished reading, the entire hall was silent.
Among these weapons, there are actually cannons.
Where did these things go?
Couldn't they all be melted together to make a sickle?
Xie Kun felt that the situation was serious, so he stood up and said, "I want to report this matter to the emperor immediately."
After saying that, he raised his feet and started to leave.
Xu Song said: "Ziyu, wait a moment!"
Xie Kun was anxious: "What are you waiting for? We originally thought that the military camps were occupied by officers from various guard posts, but who knew that there was a giant Buddha standing behind these people! In Huguang alone, there are so many fields, how many Is the military household going bankrupt?”
"For such a guard soldier, let alone fight, it's a question of whether he can survive!"
"Also, where did these weapons go?"
"Do you still need to guess? It must be the rebels!"
"..."
Seeing his excitement, Xu He quickly helped him sit down, served him tea and said, "Uncle, I must tell His Majesty about this, but it must not be you, nor anyone related to you!"
"Why... why not..." Xie Kun stopped mid-sentence.
Yes, he is Empress Xie's younger brother. If he were to come forward, what would Emperor Zhizheng think?
"And there's more to it than just deposing the prince."
There are many people involved in the entire account book, and it goes without saying that Yu Ji is the one who has it nailed down, and he is also the black glove of the group of people behind him.
The dignified earl could only become a black glove in the end. Xu He was wondering, how did his father and grandfather come to power back then?
Will he just keep playing the role of black glove and rise to a high position step by step?
Except for Yu Ji, all the officials in the yamen of the former military governor's office, except for Xue Zongkai, who was also the acquaintance, basically all had something to do, but it was just a big thing or a small thing.
"This Xue Zongkai, I remember that he was the former military governor who entered the palace in the 28th year of Zhizheng. I didn't expect this person to be so guarded, which surprised me!" Xu Song said thoughtfully, stroking his beard.
"It's not a good thing. How dare he say that he doesn't know what's going on around him?" Xie Kun snorted coldly.
Xu He looked at his uncle and said, "Uncle, who would be better off handing this over?"
Xu Song pondered for a moment and then said: "Guo Zhu, what is the origin? He reported it to the emperor himself, but we didn't mention it. The emperor also knows that we are trying to avoid suspicion. We can only do this and hand it over to others. I'm afraid it won't get into the hands of the emperor!"
Xu He and Xie Kun had the same feeling. After all, Wang Xuedao was just a small businessman, and it was normal for him not to know about many people behind him.
The reason why the deposed prince could be recorded by him is because of how rampant that man was!
