Chapter 1315: Contradictions in the Inner House?
"Don't dare, villain don't dare!" Lu Tong was frightened into a cold sweat.
For the first time in his life, he went to prison, and the prisoners he saw on the road and the torture instruments hanging on the wall in the room had already made him tremble, and Mu Sen's sudden change of face made his heart beat even more, for fear that he would never be able to get out again.
"The villain is overjoyed, I can't believe it's true. If the counterfeit gold coins are caught, the Chamber of Commerce will benefit the most, and the villain is willing to reward everyone who investigates the case with 5,000 gold coins. "He immediately spent money to eliminate the disaster.
"In this way, I will thank President Lu for waiting for the case handler. "This Qian Musen dares to accept it, although it can't enter his pocket, but it can improve his prestige, that is Han Xin's soldiers, the more the merrier.
Next, the warden brought in more than a dozen people in batches, some of them were counterfeiters, some were in charge of distribution, and some were accomplices of thugs, all of whom served the counterfeiting of gold coins.
"It turns out that your lordship is silent on the surface, and secretly attacks with an iron fist to wipe out the counterfeit gold coin group, which is really admirable!" Lu Tong was a little excited.
The counterfeit gold coins have seriously dealt a blow to the reputation of the gold coins of the Lu Kingdom, and the number of people willing to hold and use them in Nanqiu County has dropped sharply, once the counterfeit coins spread, it will affect more people, and the losses of the Lu Chamber of Commerce are immeasurable.
Ding Kui's policy of restricting the circulation of foreign currency has already depreciated the value of Lu Guo's gold coins, and the counterfeit coins have made matters worse.
"As you saw just now, there are no organizers of counterfeit money among the prisoners, and although we have eliminated a few counterfeit money workshops, the main culprit is still at large.
I am worried that the main culprits will flee abroad and continue to counterfeit gold coins, which will greatly increase the difficulty of apprehending them, and it will be difficult to completely seize the counterfeit gold coins. Mu Sen poured a basin of cold water.
This "abroad" refers to outside the area controlled by the small imperial court, which may be abroad or at home, in short, it is not under Ding Kui's control.
Lu Tonggang's heart was half cold, the area where counterfeit money is flooded may not be limited to Nanqiu County, there is reason to believe that it will spread to other counties, and may even circulate abroad.
"Then, then, what should I do, what should I do?" Lu Tong slurred.
Mu Sen comforted: "You can rest assured, Nanqiu County will organize a crackdown operation, once the counterfeiter is found, he will be immediately locked up and imprisoned, and once convicted, he will be beheaded, and he will be distributed to the mine, and he will not be spared." ”
The mines owned by Ding Kui are basically opened by prisoners and criminals, and the conditions in the mines are very difficult, and the miners may lose their lives at any time.
Lu Tong thought for a moment: That's right! I'm just in charge of the Nanqiu County Chamber of Commerce, what does it matter to me if counterfeit money appears elsewhere? The top forces me to offend Ding Kui, and I can't let me eat alone if I have a hard time.
He didn't believe that Ding Kui's people couldn't catch the main culprit of counterfeiting counterfeit money, and there had been no counterfeit money in Shaodian Country for so many years, so why did so many people pop up in Nanqiu County all at once? The locals had no worries about food and clothing, so why did they risk losing their heads to counterfeit counterfeit money? There are many doubts about this matter.
These thoughts could only be thought in his heart, and he did not dare and could not say them.
Mu Sen sent Lu Tong to the Lu Chamber of Commerce before returning to the Earl's Palace, and met Fei Ze at the door, "Minister Fei, is the negotiation in Shibu County over?" he greeted with a smile.
Fei Ze replied with a dark face: "Minister Mu is in charge of it very widely, is the affairs of the Military Command Department also in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs now?"
"I'll just ask casually, does Mr. Fei have any misunderstanding about me?" Mu Sen looked stunned.
"Don't dare, how dare I, a deputy minister, have a misunderstanding with you, the Lord is waiting for me to report and leave. After Fei Ze finished speaking, he shook his hand and left, leaving Mu Sen with a cloudy face.
......
"Hahaha!" Ding Kui laughed after listening to Fei Ze's report, "Mr. checked so quickly!, but have you ever thought about why those clues were sent to you?"
Fei Ze was stunned for a moment, his brain was spinning rapidly, and Ding Kui looked through the peace talks document and did not continue to say anything.
"Ah!
Ding Kui didn't raise his head and said: "He came up with it, I just dug a bigger hole, and keeping it secret is what I mean, the three ladies are in the know, and now there are more of you." Don't get him wrong in the future. ”
"Hehe, isn't that what you want to see?"
The two foxes, one old and one young, looked at each other and smiled.
......
Half a month later, the city of Nanjing.
"What? Ding Kui's backyard is in trouble? The eldest princess and the lady of the Long family are competing for favor?" Shao Dianxi was both surprised and delighted.
The backyard is restless and the house is uneasy, and he wishes that the Ding family is as chaotic as possible, but the news came too suddenly.
Lou Xiao replied with great certainty: "That's right! Hall Master Wei confirmed this information, to be precise, Ding Kui's eldest daughter competed for favor with the eldest son who was born. ”
"What?what?, is it confirmed that the eldest princess is pregnant with a boy?" Shao Dianxi didn't believe the rumors.
"Yes, it is said that Master Gongliang has confirmed that the eldest princess has this factor in establishing herself as a prisoner, and her son is eligible to be included in the heir to the throne, as long as Ding Kui recognizes himself as a member of the royal family. ”
Lou Xiao is now deeply trusted by the state pastor, and his relationship with Wei Si is getting closer and closer, and many news is earlier than the state pastor knows.
"I always thought it was Ding Kui's boasting, but I didn't expect it to be the real thing! How dare the daughter of the Long family fight with the eldest princess? The eldest princess may have the future monarch in her belly, although we don't approve of it. Shao Dianxi still has doubts.
"After the investigation of the Espionage Department, it was confirmed that Ding Kui's eldest daughter is named Jiang Jing, who is the heir of An Guogong's internal design, this girl has the Jiang family and the Long family as the backing, and the backer is no smaller than the 'future monarch', and the subordinates think this matter is true. Lou Xiao carefully studied the information sent by Wei Si.
Without eighty or ninety percent certainty, he didn't dare to tell the state pastor, and now he is the first person below the state pastor, and this position cannot be shaken because of unnecessary mistakes.
"Good!good!good!" Shao Dianxi froze after shouting three yes in a row, not knowing what to say for a while.
He made up his mind before he said, "Then what should we do? We must not sit back and watch the Ding thief's inner house fall apart, we must seize this opportunity to deal a severe blow to the Ding thief." ”
As long as we guide us, we can let some people intervene in the dispute between the thieves' inner house, and it is best to intensify the contradictions between the two factions and make the strength of the thieves consume in the internal fighting. Lou Xiaoxiao offered advice to Shao Dianxi.
"Okay, do you have a plan? Tell me about it. "Shaodian Xi hated that he couldn't immediately ruin Ding Kui's family.
"This matter requires a few official positions and a sum of money, and without the consent of the adults, the subordinates dare not make their own decisions. Lou Xiao was not in a hurry to say.
"As long as they can bring down Ding Kui's official position and money, it is not a problem, this king can also ask the regent for a reward, the question is how capable they are, how much loss can they cause to Ding Kui?" Shao Dianxi did not easily agree to Lou Xiao.
"It's relieved to have an adult's subordinates, that's ......" Lou Xiao then made plans and discusses.
