An old horse and a chariot.
A cart full of accounts, a handful of hard work.
A thief, a fire.
Two words, so polished.
This fire was burning like a raging fire, and everyone in the capital was talking about it.
The two corpses of Fanman pushed the speculation to a climax and pushed it to the officials of Honglu Temple.
Except for the common people who don't care much about the court, no one knows that the young minister of Honglu Temple and the father and son of the Han family have formed an undying relationship.
Who doesn't know that the person who least expected Han You to complete his errand and go to the emperor to show his merit was none other than the young minister of Honglu Temple.
Who doesn't know that the only person in Beijing who has close contact with Fan Shang and Fan Man is Honglu Temple, and it is Wu Yong, the young minister of Honglu Temple.
Han You led people to the urban area, his face as dark as water.
The flames were extinguished and the smoke cleared, and soldiers patrolling the streets formed a human wall, but they could not isolate the evildoers from the outside, let alone stop the rumors.
"check!"
After Han You roared "check" angrily, he pushed away the soldiers and the servants of countless mansions.
Gritting his teeth, Han You clenched his fists, seeming to be secretly cruel as he walked.
"Wu Yong, this young master and you are at odds with each other!"
This fierce sound made many people show their true expressions.
Along the way, Han You galloped back to Jingzhao Mansion. Zhou Yan's face was as gloomy as water, and all the guards cursed him.
Among the group of people, only one person was calm, extremely calm.
Zhang Zhuo, the leader of the palace guards.
He finally figured out the question that had puzzled him for the past few days.
It's just that he doesn't dare and can't show anything "different", not only for the good of King You, but also for his own good.
Looking at Han You who got into the carriage with a face full of anger, Zhang Zhuo's heart beat faster and faster. What a bold scholar, such a crazy son of Fu Yin, such a...fucking shameless thing!
"What are you thinking about?"
An angry Guo Peng came over and said, "I'll find the murderer with Mr. Han and cut him to death with a thousand knives. You dare to let my hard work go to waste. Once I find him, I'll kill him!"
Zhang Zhuo smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid this murderer will never be found."
"Why?"
Zhang Zhuo suddenly said without any clue: "If one day His Majesty calls you to inquire about Mr. Han, remember not to say a word against him, not even a single word."
"Ah?" Guo Peng looked puzzled: "Why?"
"It is my wish that Your Highness should be a wise king. Mr. Han is His Highness's guide. Protecting him means protecting Your Highness."
Guo Peng was even more confused, and Zhang Zhuo quickly got on the carriage without explaining, preparing to catch the "missing murderer" with Han You.
Accounts are not just accounts, they are also official documents, related to taxation and banking.
Burning the accounts is equivalent to burning the official documents, burning the official documents of the Ministry of Accounts.
It's a big deal.
Before nightfall, the capital was already abuzz with rumors. Two big melons came one after another, causing many aristocratic families and officials who were watching the excitement to change from spectators to participants, and from spectators to resentment.
In the first big melon, less than a quarter of an hour after the accounts were burned, two corpses, two Banman corpses, were discovered in Xishi, not far from the scene of the accident.
The two corpses pointed the finger at a young minister.
Before everyone could discuss it, the second big melon popped out.
Jingzhao Mansion, or rather Han You and Prince You's Mansion, have released news that the account needs to be re-examined.
If it was just to check the accounts, His Highness Prince You planned to go to the palace to go to court the next day and beg the emperor to send the palace guards to participate in the investigation.
The imperial guards in the palace represent the emperor!
So the so-called second "verification" is deeper, more detailed, and more comprehensive than the previous inspection.
You must know that Han You was not impartial when he checked the accounts before. He did not press too much on the businessmen with some big backgrounds. Instead, he just showed his "meaning".
Make less friends to give face to Prince You's Mansion, but don't make too many friends. After all, it was the emperor himself who gave the order.
Although he paid a lot of tax money, it was not fully compensated. Everyone saved each other's face, and Han You was as hard as he could be.
But if the investigation is re-examined, the imperial guards will come out of the palace to help with the investigation, and the nature of the matter will change. If you want to commit fraud again, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor.
Jingzhong has already begun to scold him, calling him the mastermind behind setting fire to the accounts.
If you want Han You to be a bad guy, that's okay, not impossible.
But if you make everyone bother you or even spend more money, it will cause public outrage!
Just when everyone thought that Jingzhao Mansion was going to investigate this matter, Han You took Wang Hai and hummed a little tune back to the mansion. The walk was quite tiring.
Not only did he not ride in the carriage, Han You also cursed along the way, "What Wu Yong, I ***, you * Wu Yong, I * your ancestors", he greeted all the women in Wu Yong's family more than once, and there was some physical contact. The words also comprehensively describe some action interpretations.
From Jingzhao Mansion to Han Mansion, countless people dressed as ordinary people heard the abuse along the way.
After returning to the Han Mansion, Han You heard a roar before he passed through the Moon Gate.
A group of servants were pulling Han Bairen, and Wang Shan hugged his father's waist tightly.
"Wu Yong, I *you*, if you dare to ruin my son's hard work, I will chop you to death."
A dozen or so people were dragged seven or eight meters away by Han Bairen who was carrying a big halberd.
But there was one person who didn't stop him, Zhongsun Wushuang.
Behind him stood two fat maids, Zhongsun Wushuang, with his eyebrows raised and a wooden stick in his hand.
"Wushuang will go with you. The young master has been busy every day and into the night working hard on this tax audit. He dared to burn the young master's accounts. My grandson, Wushuang, is incompatible with the young minister of Honglu Temple and dug out his dog's eyes!"
"Well said!" Han Bairen waved his hand and poured out a large piece: "A bunch of dogs, no girl has the courage..."
In the middle of the scolding, when he saw Han You coming back, Han Bairen shouted: "Youer, if you can't swallow this breath, I will kill him as a father today!"
Han You ran up quickly: "Dad, listen to me, things are not what you think."
"Yeah, yeah, I'm so angry!"
Han Bairen pulled again, and the remaining half fell down.
Han You quickly whispered: "Dad, I asked someone to burn the accounts."
"What." Han Bairen was dumbfounded: "Youer burned it?"
Wang Shan lowered his head and said nervously: "The young master arranged for the general to do it."
"Get out of here."
Han Bairen shot Wang Shan out with one kick, and quickly pulled Han You to the stone table: "What's going on? Isn't that account the work of You'er?"
"The accounts are not important, but the money collected is important. The amount of business tax is very high, so high that the outside world cannot calculate it, and it is impossible for hundreds of merchants to get together to check it. That's why I released the news to the outside world and only collected 200,000 yuan. about."
"Why?"
Han You pulled his father to the stone bench and explained: "In order to make Wu Yong the target of public criticism, Wang Shan's boss in Beijing set the fire, and the two barbarians were also killed by him. In order to frame Wu Yong, the outside world is now I understand. King You wants to enter the palace and ask Your Majesty to bring the palace guards and eunuchs out to check the accounts. If they check again, it will be troublesome. The investigation will be more detailed, and the merchants will be tortured to death, so..."
"Wait!"
Han Bairen's expression changed slightly, his copper bell-sized eyes looked at Han You closely, and his tone was incomprehensible.
"Youer, are you... secretly studying behind your father's back again?"
