Comprehensive Wu Jianghu: I am Dali Temple Minister

Di Zhiyuan's figure is not fat, but in Wang Li's eyes at this moment, it looks extraordinarily heavy.

"Yuezhou Silver Bank is an important place to store official silver in the southeast of the imperial court. It is heavily guarded. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an iron wall! But now there is a secret passage under the silver bank, causing 800 million silver to disappear. Wang My lord, how do you explain this?!"

"The lower official was negligent for a while. The lower official has already made a detailed report to Wang Inspector about this matter. Lord Ruo Di must attribute all the responsibility to the lower official because of this. The lower official is willing to be punished!"

Wang Li insisted that he was only guilty of negligence and did not participate in it.

While defending, Wang Hua, the acting governor of Yuezhou, was also moved out.

Wang Li knew very well that Wang Hua, Yang Qingyuan, and Li Xunhuan were close friends at school.

If he could hug Wang Hua's thigh tightly, Yang Qingyuan would have some scruples, and maybe he could be lenient to him.

"Then let me ask you, why is there a problem with the accounts of the Yuezhou bank treasury that passed through your hands? You have to check all the treasury bank before entering the treasury. Why didn't you find any problems?"

Wang Li's expression remained unchanged, "Lord Di, it is inevitable that people will make mistakes. The official admits that he has been negligent in his work, but that is not the original intention of the official. The official said that he was the culprit in the bank case, and the lower officials will not accept it!"

Di Zhiyuan smiled, "What a sharp mouth! It can be said to be eloquent! You have been working as a banker for so many years, and you haven't made any big mistakes. All the mistakes are piled up and committed here. Regarding the theft of salary."

"There is no one who does not make mistakes. Master Di has not made mistakes? I am telling the truth, Master Di caught a mistake in the government affairs of the subordinate, and he clung to it. It is really out of the demeanor of Dali Temple. As for why he usually There is no mistake, the only mistake is in this case. Isn’t the reason very simple?! If the subordinate officials are not negligent, the villains will not have the opportunity to tamper with Kuyin in the Yuezhou Bank Treasury!”

Wang Li made some sophistry in an attempt to confuse Di Zhiyuan's logic.

"Besides, didn't your lord say that you have found the missing 800 million taels of silver, why don't you talk about it?!"

Di Zhiyuan shook his head, begging to be hammered, then I will grant you!

"The reason why the 800 million taels of payment disappeared without a trace is only because our direction is wrong! The 800 million taels of official silver can be transported and smelted silently, even for money helpers It is not easy to deal with a force like the Hua family."

"In the words of Master Yang, even if it is possible to deceive the eyes and ears of the court, the data cannot deceive people. From the transfer of vehicles to the purchase of charcoal, there will be abnormal traces. Especially the smelting of silver, it is difficult for official silver to To use it directly, it must first be melted into market silver. However, I have checked the charcoal sales in Yuezhou in the past two years, but there is nothing unusual, and there is no large amount of charcoal imported from other states. This shows that the gangsters have no Smelt these treasury silver."

Wang Li watched Di Zhiyuan perform expressionlessly.

"Then why don't they smelt it?! Only by smelting the official silver can it be used in the market. And after smelting, the imperial court can no longer find this batch of official silver! Such an effective and convenient method, and it is the official silver that is converted into market silver. The only way to go, why didn't the prisoner go?!"

"This... about the prisoner, does anyone know about it?"

"Of course it's because you just hid the official silver and didn't take it out for use at all!"

As soon as these words came out, although Wang Li's expression remained the same, there was already a look of panic in his eyes.

There is no problem with what Di Zhiyuan said. The official silver will definitely be recast and used in the end, so why not recast it? !

Because the place where the treasury silver is stored is very special, so special that they cannot take out the treasury silver.

"What does your lord mean?! What does this have to do with the lower officials?!"

"I'll tell you one thing, and you'll understand!"

Di Zhiyuan continued, "I led my troops to the ancient Yue clan's land for support. Along the way, I was guided by an experienced Orion in the mountains. When I was looking for the ancient Yue clan's land, Orion said a word."

His original words were like this, "I originally thought that the ancient people moved away from this place, but I didn't expect that they just came to a deeper place and never left the mountain. You can exchange it with the best hunting knives from the ancient Yue people."

Wang Li understood the meaning of these words, and his expression was a little tense.

"Actually, the same is true for the 800 million taels of silver! They never left the treasury, they just hid a little deeper!"

These words made Wang Li unable to control the expression on his face anymore, "You..."

"How would I know?! Really?!"

"..." Wang Li didn't answer, but fell into silence.

Di Zhiyuan threw an object from his sleeve and threw it at Wang Li.

Wang Li's expression changed drastically after receiving the object, and the casting time of each batch of official silver will be engraved on the official silver.

The minting time of the official silver thrown out by Di Zhiyuan just now is the same as that batch of lost official silver.

Wang Li is a Yincao of Yuezhou, and he has a lot of attainments in the casting and identification of silver ingots. He can tell at a glance that the silver ingots are not newly minted.

That means that Di Zhiyuan has really found the lost Ku Yin!

"how can that be!?"

"When we saw the secret passage under the silver treasury, we subconsciously thought that the secret passage was dug when you moved the treasury silver, but we never thought that this secret passage really existed! If this secret passage Is it just a blindfold?!"

Di Zhiyuan played with the silver ingot in his hand and said, "It's as difficult as climbing the sky to dig a secret passage leading directly to the silver warehouse in Yuezhou."

"The secret tunnel is either dug from the outside to the inside, or from the inside to the outside! However, when the Yuezhou Bank was designed, the situation of someone sneaking in through the secret tunnel has been considered, so the southwest sides of the Yuezhou Bank It is a river, and the east and north directions are an open space, which has been patrolled by soldiers of the Shenwu Army. If you start digging from the outside, then in order to avoid being discovered by the soldiers of the Shenwu Army, you must start digging at least a thousand feet away. It is difficult to guarantee the exact location of the bank in the external signs, and if there is a mistake, the plan will fall short. Therefore, digging tunnels from the outside to the inside is a dead end from the beginning.”

"Then what if this tunnel is dug from the inside out?! Then there are two problems that need to be overcome. First, how to avoid the listening tank of the Shenwu Army, and second, how to deal with the soil in the tunnel!?"

Listening to Di Zhiyuan's words, Wang Li's back was already sweating slightly.

Di Zhiyuan reproduced exactly what they analyzed at that time.

"Later, I thought of those strange green plants in the bank! In fact, it is very normal to have green plants in this storehouse, but it is very strange to plant green plants in a place like the bank."

Every time the construction of the bank is important, it needs to be approved by the governor's office of the state. Now it seems that planting green plants in the bank important for no reason, no matter how you look at it, it is very strange!

However, if it is combined with the excavation of the secret tunnel below, it becomes clear that excavating a secret tunnel will produce a large amount of soil, which needs to be treated, and planting green plants will produce soil work, which can just cover the soil produced by excavating the tunnel.

"I checked the files of the prefectural governor's office. The one who suggested planting green plants was not Li Da, the treasury, but you, Yuezhou Yincao Wangli! Mr. Wang, don't you want to explain?!"

"Master Di, you just said that to dig a tunnel, you need to go through the listening tank. Even if it is true, how can I avoid the listening tank?! Besides, it only took nine days to plant the green plants. , How is it possible to dig through the tunnel in such a short period of time?!"

Di Zhiyuan laughed and said, "Hahaha! His Majesty Wang still wants to struggle when he is about to die. Since I can find that silver brick, it means that I have seen through your trick!"

"Your plan is indeed very clever. You used our inertia of thinking. When we saw the tunnel under the silver vault, our first reaction was that the thief smuggled the silver away through the tunnel, and then moved forward towards the tunnel. We saw A collapsed tunnel. But what if it’s not a tunnel but a secret room made to look like a tunnel?!”

When Di Zhiyuan uttered these words, Wang Li knew that everything was over, and that all the plans had been seen through by the Deputy Envoy of Dali Temple and Yuezhou Ducha.

"This so-called tunnel is not actually used to transport treasury silver, but to store treasury silver! The 800 million taels of treasury silver have always been under our noses, and we even stepped on it several times , but never found it!"

Wang Li was limp on the ground, with cold sweat on his forehead.

Everything was over, and the last ray of hope was extinguished by Di Zhiyuan.

"Now we can talk about it!"

Wang Li closed his eyes in despair, and breathed heavily, "No need! I won't say it, Mr. Di will deal with it according to the law, but it's impossible for me to betray the young master!"

Yang Qingyuan had already informed Di Zhiyuan of the general background of the group before, and Di Zhiyuan was also psychologically prepared before coming to see Wang Li.

It has been more than 20 years since the fall of the former Qin Dynasty, but these people are still thinking about the former Qin Dynasty, and their willpower is comparable to that of ordinary people.

"Zhao Yu is the descendant of the former Qin II Emperor Ying Hai!"

"you……"

Wang Li's eyes were filled with disbelief. Their identities were secrets of the organization, and the son's name was a secret among secrets. How did Di Zhiyuan know?

"The first emperor of the former Qin Dynasty was indeed a great man. After the former Tang Dynasty, the hundreds of years of separatism and chaos in the Central Plains were ended by him. He unified the Xia and rebuilt China. He was indeed a wise emperor. It is also an irrefutable fact, the descendants of Yinghai, how can they have the face to restore the country today?!"

Wang Li was not annoyed, "The Zhao family of the former Song Dynasty was also a descendant of my former Qin clan. The false Zhou court robbed the artifact and established a country by itself. They are traitors and traitors!"

"Hehe!" Di Zhiyuan sneered, "Qin lost its deer, and the whole world chased after it. Since three generations, the most upright people who have won the country are the ancestors of the Han Dynasty and our Great Zhou Dynasty. The Taizu Emperor Gao of this dynasty was originally a commoner in Huaiyou, Starting an incident from a common man, there is no suspicion of relying on prestige; eliminating violence for the people, without the intention of foreshadowing the magic weapon, driving out the Tartars, restoring China, the righteousness of establishing a country is even better than that of the former Han!"

"You...then why did he kill King Ming to stand on his own?!"

"Shiyan Ming Taizu once enshrined Han Liner's Dragon and Phoenix Year Title. This is the one who does not consider historical facts but treats the heart of a villain! Taizu started at the end of the century, did not hold the power of King Xiaoming, and did not eat the mediocrity of King Xiaoming. righteous?!"

Wang Li was speechless by Di Zhiyuan.

"How long have you been an official in Jiangnan?"

"...Since Zhou Taizu moved his capital to Shendu, I have been an official in Yuezhou for 27 years!"

Di Zhiyuan was taken aback for a moment, the time he has been an official is close to his age.

"Then how is the Taizu of Great Zhou and the last two dynasties, Wenzhiwugong?!"

"Fix the Bianhe outside, drive out the Tartars, cultivate morality inside, and keep the people safe and healthy." Although Wang Li was a survivor of the former Qin Dynasty and Gong Ziyu's subordinate, he had to admit that the two kings of the Great Zhou Dynasty were outstanding people.

"Then why do you want to help Young Master Yu raise an army to seek rebellion?! Disrupt the people?! Have you read your sage book into the stomach of a dog?!"

Di Zhiyuan checked Wang Li's files, and also asked Wang Li's character from the officials of Yuezhou Governor's Mansion.

Incorruptible, meticulous, and honest, he doesn’t eat delicacies from mountains and seas on weekdays, even less meat, and his favorite is pickled vegetables and tofu.

Although it is possible to pretend to be like this, but being able to pretend for more than 20 years is enough to show that Wang Li's personal morality is definitely high, and he is a person with self-cultivation and ambition. Therefore, Di Zhiyuan wants to start from here and see if he can No breakthrough was found.

Wang Li was shocked and ashamed when he heard this.

I was surprised that Di Zhiyuan had already found out the purpose of their actions in Yuezhou, and I was ashamed that Di Zhiyuan was right. Now that the world is peaceful and the people live in peace, but he wants to bring chaos to the world.

"Master Di, I know that I am a sinner, but one day I will be a Qin official, and I will be a Qin official for the rest of my life. One official cannot serve two masters!"

Di Zhiyuan still thought a little simpler.

It is not easy for a person to be able to serve in the government of the Great Zhou for 27 years. Of course, he cannot be persuaded by his three or two words of offensive.

"This life is already like this. In the next life, Wang Li is willing to be an ox or a horse and drive the people of the world!"

Wang Li is the standard scholar-official value.

Although there are some literati who are greedy for life and afraid of death, there are also people like Wang Li who value faith more than life and death.

To deal with such a person, there is no one who will be forced to die with life and death, and it will not be effective if he knows it with righteousness.

But this type of people has one thing in common, although they don't care about life and death, they value the name of history the most.

They don't care how the current people think of them. They know that I am guilty only of their age.

Yang Qingyuan also had the same idea before entering Dongxuan.

A posthumous reputation is better than a living one.

"Then Mr. Wang, has he ever thought about his name behind him!? If Mr. Wang died here today, I can guarantee that Mr. Wang is the culprit in this case in the history books of my Great Zhou! He is the one who caused troubles in Jiangnan. Corrupt official, a huge greed who steals money! For generations to come, Lord Wang will bear this infamy!"

Wang Li, who was limp on the ground, was shocked when he heard Di Zhiyuan's words.

"Impossible! In this case, I am just a small person. Who would believe that a banker in the governor's office of the sixth-rank state could embezzle 800 million taels! If you closed the case so hastily, would the emperor and the cabinet believe it?!"

When Di Zhiyuan saw Wang Li's reaction, he knew there was a door.

"Lord Wang, do you think the emperor and the cabinet ministers care about the 800 million taels of payment, or the real culprit behind the scenes!? Now that the 800 million taels of payment have been recovered! If I say you are the real murderer, then you are the real murderer. "

Wang Li had a clue for Di Zhiyuan for a while, then shook his head, "No! Master Di, you are not such a person! Dali Temple would not have closed the case so hastily, otherwise Yang Qingyuan would not have turned against the crown prince that day!"

Di Zhiyuan said with a smile, "Master Wang, my Master Yang is indeed not such a person, but I am different. I am just the prime minister of Dali Temple, the assistant official of Master Yang. I am more concerned about my career. The credit is enough for me to be promoted to a level or two! Not only that, but it will also be recorded in the annals of my Great Zhou at that time, I tried my best to solve this case, my official career was prosperous, and I left my name in history, why not do it?!"

"Master Wang, do you want to gamble with me in the name of your own back! Do you think I am not such a person?!"

Seeing Di Zhiyuan's half-smile expression, Wang Li hesitated!

This bet, whether he wins or loses, is of no benefit to him; Di Zhiyuan may not care about winning or losing.

The expression on Wang Li's face and the erratic eyes indicated the hesitation in his heart.

Di Zhiyuan immediately strikes while the iron is hot. At this time, it is the easiest time to break through the prisoner's psychological defense.

"Master Wang, so you have to fight to the end and serve the descendants of Zhao Yu, a foolish king?! Besides, he is not the orthodox of the former Qin Dynasty! The eldest son Fusu is the son of the first emperor! Ying Hai is just a usurper , What good reputation do you have for serving a usurper later?! Who will regard you as a loyal minister of the former Qin?!"

"..."

Wang Li was silent.

"Furthermore, my Dazhou law expressly stipulates that if you surrender yourself or confess, you can be given a lighter or mitigated punishment. If your confession has played a significant role in the cracking of the entire case, you can also be deemed to have failed the crime and can live Why do you have to die?! Even if you can’t be an official, you can study knowledge and write books.”

Know it with emotion, move it with profit!

That's right, it's not moving for reason, but moving for profit.

It is not enough to rely on pictures and words alone, and people still have to see the real benefits.

Moreover, if Wang Li really confessed truthfully and played a constructive role in solving the case, it would not be impossible to avoid the death penalty.

"Master Di, can I have a glass of water?!"

Wang Li opened his mouth and said, his voice was hoarse.

Once the prisoner asks for water, it shows his hesitation. At this time, he must not be given water.

In addition to relieving his thirst, drinking water can also relieve his emotions to a certain extent. Drinking water will only make the prisoner calm down and continue to resist.

"After you make a confession, let alone drinking water, you can drink Longjing before the rain!"

After hesitating for another quarter of an hour, Wang Licai said slowly, "Master Di, what do you want to know? Just ask!"

With tiredness and decadence in his tone, Wang Li's psychological defense collapsed.

Di Zhiyuan's expression remained the same, but his heart was filled with excitement. It was the middle of the night, and all his efforts were not in vain.

"Then let me ask about the bank vault!"

"Are you the planner or the executor of the Yuezhou bank treasury!?"

Wang Li hesitated slightly, "It's all! The original plan was not like this. I changed and perfected it based on my understanding of the Yuezhou bank!"
