I am the censor, at the beginning I denounced the empress

Chapter 455 Something Strange

The next day.

The king of Gaochang discussed the matter.

Just as Tang Can expected.

News came from the north city of Daliang Town, sharply accusing Gaochang of imprisoning Yan Liben, which was unbecoming.

At the same time, it is said that this matter was found out by Gao Chang, and it should be found out as soon as possible, so as to return the truth to the world.

As a result, most of the officials in the capital of Gaochang also understood what Great Liang meant.

The accusation at the beginning was only out of the duty of the Great Liang Kingdom.

After all, one of his own people was arrested in Gaochang, so he should pay attention both emotionally and rationally.

But later he told Gao Chang to find out on his own, which was a bit subtle.

Many people understand that as long as there is evidence of guilt, there is no problem.

And things like criminal evidence can be fabricated...

Therefore, in the process of discussing matters in the capital.

Not only Yan Liben, who had already been imprisoned, was pulled out and severely criticized, but even other craftsmen and officials selected from the craftsmen were subjected to all kinds of unwarranted attacks.

All kinds of sewage, including forming a party for personal gain, practicing favoritism, and deceit, were all poured on Yan Liben.

These people no longer talked about the rice fields outside the city, but turned their attention to how many false accounts were made by the artisan compound under the leadership of Yan Liben during the construction of the capital...

With a wave of his hand, Tuoba investigated the craftsmen headed by Yan Liben, and thoroughly investigated everything in the process of assuming the capital, including cities, coal mines, rice fields, and so on.

As for the affairs, it is headed by the general manager of the capital, and the northern and southern courts are assisted by it.

In other words, this matter is completely left to Xie Yan.Tong Mingde and Gao Yinliu assisted.

As for Tang Can...

No one mentioned Tang Can's name during the royal court's discussion.After all, the last time Tang Can's name was mentioned, the effect was not very satisfactory...

But anyway.

The Wang Ting's investigation into the Da Liang craftsmen this time still made everyone in Gaochang feel a little shocked.

This lineup, is it a bit too big?
Even Xie Yan, the instigator, felt a little surprised.

But beyond the surprise, I am even more excited!

At noon that day, Xie Yan impatiently led people to the place where Yan Liben worked before, and also arranged people to guard the coal mine, rice field, Huifuyuan and other places.

All of a sudden, the craftsman compound, which was already extremely lively, became even more noisy and lively.

The people who used to come here to write notes, work in the coal mines, or go to the brick factories to collect bricks have disappeared.

There are many more people checking the notes.

A group of craftsmen and those who were temporarily recruited by Yan Liben welcomed Xie Yan and others into the courtyard nervously, and carefully moved all the accounts to the courtyard for them to check.

Xie Yan and Tong Mingde didn't say anything. They just sat steadily, drinking tea and watching the investigation.

And the lower-level officials in the capital's general manager's mansion and the South Courtyard took advantage of this rare opportunity to yell loudly, indescribably intimidating and threatening.

He even directly referred to this courtyard, which had only been in use for a few days, as a place where all kinds of filth were hidden.

This made Tong Mingde frown slightly.

He knew very well that many of his subordinates could not understand the people of Great Liang, but it was hard for him to say anything about this kind of thing.

What can be done is to keep an eye on it and control the scale.

Facing such a big scene and seeing so many great figures sitting in the courtyard, all the craftsmen and scribes felt a little defeated, and even felt a certain kind of despair.

Originally, because of Yan Liben's unjust imprisonment, they felt bad, as if they were isolated by Gao Chang and looked down upon by others.

Now...it feels like this even more.

especially……

Although Gao Yinliu came, he just stood aside expressionlessly, without saying a word, saying or doing anything.

……

The people in the royal capital's general manager's office watched the scribes sorting out the account books.

In a short while, ten baskets of account books were cleared out, and everyone carried them to the courtyard with great effort.

Xie Yan was startled by so many account books, and couldn't help but blurt out: "There are so many accounts, and they are checked one by one. When will we check?"

The scribe said angrily: "The account is written down one by one!"

"You don't even know what accounts are in the craftsman's compound, and you still lick your face to check the accounts, I'm bah!"

"Bold!" The subordinates of the capital's general manager's mansion shouted loudly, and they were about to strike.

However, Gao Yinliu, who had been expressionless all this time, waved his hand lightly.

The Forbidden Army of the North Court immediately took action and restrained the people in the Royal Capital's General Manager's Mansion.

"Just say check the accounts and don't do useless things."

Gao Yinliu said calmly, walked up to the scribe, and said softly, "What's the matter with these account books?"

"The account of the Craftsman's Courtyard began when the king's capital was built." The clerk said angrily, "Take the coal mine as an example. There is an entry account and an exit account. These are two books."

"As for the exit account, there are three types, one for public use, one for private use, and one for exit."

"Let's talk about the brick factory..."

The clerk obviously knew the accounts of the craftsman's courtyard very well, and he chattered and talked for as long as a cup of tea, without stopping...

Xie Yan was confused when she heard this, so she quickly waved her hand to stop it.

Many people in the south courtyard were also dumbfounded.

This time their sudden attack was only due to Xie Yan's impromptu intention and turned his guns.

Who would have thought that so many things and so many accounts would be done during the construction of the capital.

According to this situation, if you want to find out, it is not something that can be done in a day or two.

Perhaps it was because Gao Yinliu had just stood up, giving the scribe some confidence.

At this time, seeing the change in the expression of everyone, he spoke again, and said with some annoyance: "My lords, the accounts here are only accounts related to the brick factory, because the brick factory has the least things and the accounts are the least. tidy……"

Xie Yan was already in a bad mood, but when she heard this, she almost burst into anger, and couldn't help but said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense! You'd better keep your hands and feet clean, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you! Don't Forgot, this time it’s the king’s order! Even Great Liang can’t protect you!”

Hearing this, the scribe's eyes widened suddenly, and he stared at Xie Yan firmly: "Master Xie, I am a little scribe, so naturally I don't have the guts. But if you want to investigate, you have to draw up a regulation. When did the investigation start? Now the coal mines and brick factories are all closed, and I won’t say the loss of one day, but you should know it in your heart.”

Xie Yan waved her hand in annoyance, too lazy to argue with him, thinking that when the problem was found out and Tang Can was removed, they would always have no good fruit to eat!

Tong Mingde watched coldly from the side, didn't say anything, didn't express anything, but felt a little strange...
