Chapter 317 Gao Shilian and Sun Fujia
"You troublemaker!"
Yin Hongzhi's face turned green.
He pointed at the merchants and shouted, "Do you unruly people want to rebel?"
Wei Shuyu frowned.
Since Fu Cheng and the others came to help him, Wei Shuyu naturally couldn't let anything happen to them.
"Yin Hongzhi, isn't it you who wants to rebel?"
Wei Shuyu pointed to his side and said, "Why are you bringing troops to obstruct so many officials from my Ministry of Commerce who have come here to investigate the case?"
"fart!"
Yin Hongzhi pointed at Wei Shuyu and shouted, "What are you, the Ministry of Commerce? How dare you search my residence?"
"Yin Hongzhi, don't push your luck!"
Wei Shuyu spread his hands, and Luo Dan immediately handed him the stack of account books: "This is evidence of the crimes committed by your Yin family!"
"Our Yin family has always acted with integrity and uprightness."
Yin Hongzhi flung his sleeve and angrily rebuked, "This is slander! I will definitely report this to His Majesty and impeach you!"
"Don't rush!"
Wei Shuyu said calmly, "The truth will come to light once the underworld is searched!"
What exactly are you looking for?
Yin Hongzhi's voice gradually lowered.
Judging from Wei Shuyu's posture, it seemed that he really had something on him.
"Military rations!"
Yin Hongzhi's brows furrowed with doubt.
Because Yuchi Gong was one of Li Shimin's most trusted people.
Li Shimin concealed the matter of the military provisions, only conducting a secret investigation.
You must know that losing military rations is a serious crime.
If Yuchi Gong is convicted, who will lead the army?
Generals are easy to find.
The challenge is that this general can put Li Shimin at ease!
"What military rations?"
Yin Hongzhi flatly refused, saying, "I don't know!"
"Don't understand?"
Wei Shuyu sneered: "Ask around and search around, and you'll find out everything your son has done!"
"Get out of my way!"
Wei Shuyu suddenly shouted, "Anyone who dares to obstruct us will be killed or maimed without our responsibility!"
"Let's see who dares."
Yin Hongzhi remained unyielding!
"Yin Hongzhi, have you thought this through?"
Wei Shuyu's face gradually darkened: "If you don't cooperate obediently, your entire family in the underworld will be slaughtered in the future!"
"Even Consort Yin and Prince Yan will be implicated!"
Swish.
Yin Hongzhi's expression finally changed.
His current status is mainly due to his connections in the palace.
You should know...
His Yin family had already been exterminated once, along with three generations of their clan, for destroying Li Yuan's ancestral tombs.
Only Consort Yin and the young boy remained!
If Consort Yin's position in the palace is shaken, everything he has will vanish.
What are you all doing gathered here?
Just then, another group of officials approached from a distance.
The leader was an old man with white hair!
"Greetings, Minister Gao!"
Yin Hongzhi was overjoyed to see the visitor.
"No need for formalities!"
Gao Shilian waved his hand.
Gao Shilian originally did not plan to come.
Upon hearing that Yin Hongzhi had left work early, Gao Shilian rushed over after learning the reason.
no way……
Who told him to have a grudge against Wei Shuyu?
What are you all doing gathered here?
Gao Shilian ignored Wei Shuyu and turned his gaze to the group of officials from the Ministry of Commerce...
"He was just appointed as an official two days ago, and today he's already causing trouble?"
"how?"
"Do you feel that being an official is too tiring and want to retire early?"
Following Gao Shilian's angry rebuke, the officials of the Ministry of Commerce fell silent.
The Ministry of Personnel was responsible for the promotion, appointment, and removal of officials.
Offending Gao Shilian makes it difficult to get promoted.
"Minister Gao..."
Wei Shuyu frowned: "My Ministry of Commerce is on a mission, please do not obstruct us!"
This old man is quite old; I hope he doesn't get too angry with me.
"Is this part of a mission?"
Gao Shilian shouted angrily, "Do you know that your gang fighting has an extremely bad influence?"
"Minister Gao, I reiterate!"
Wei Shuyu frowned and said, "We are carrying out our mission, please do not obstruct us!"
What mission are you undertaking?
Gao Shilian sneered: "What right does your Ministry of Commerce have to search residences?"
"Old man, don't go looking for a fight!"
Wei Shuyu said coldly, "Haven't you been scolded enough last time?"
"You bastard!"
Gao Shilian's beard trembled wildly.
Last time, Wei Shuyu's attack caused his blood to surge, and it took him several days to recover.
"The Yin family has secretly hoarded military rations; the evidence is conclusive."
Holding the grain ledger in his hand, Wei Shuyu stepped forward and shouted emphatically, "What are you trying to do by protecting Yin Hongzhi? Are you in cahoots with him?"
"presumptuous!"
Gao Shilian retorted sharply, "Even if you have evidence, you should submit it to the Court of Judicial Review. It's not your place to investigate on your own!"
Many people nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
"In urgent situations, one must act expediently!"
Wei Shuyu stood firm: "This concerns military provisions. If the bandits escape because of this, will you take responsibility?"
Gao Shilian frowned.
Anything involving grain is a major case, let alone military rations.
He dared not take that responsibility.
So what if that's the case?
Gao Shilian glanced into the distance: "There are people here who are specifically investigating the case!"
"Where are the people from the Dali Temple?"
"How long do you intend to hide like a coward?"
Officials at the Court of Judicial Review were horrified!
It's Wei Shuyu again!
It's that little devil again.
I paid a huge price to be transferred here from Wanhuage Street.
Damn it, we've run into each other again!
What terrible things did I do in my past life that I have such a strong connection with you in this life...?
"They're here, they're here..."
But now that Gao Shilian has spoken out, there's no way to pretend you didn't know.
The officials of the Dali Temple bowed to each of the crowd.
He immediately turned to Gao Shilian and said, "Minister Gao, this matter has become too big of a fuss. I have already sent someone to inform the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, and reinforcements will be arriving soon!"
Gao Shilian ignored him.
Instead, he turned to Wei Shuyu and said, "Now that the people from the Dali Temple have arrived, you can hand it over, right?"
"no!"
Wei Shuyu narrowed his eyes: "This matter is not under the jurisdiction of the Dali Temple!"
"Wei Shuyu!"
Gao Shilian suddenly shouted sternly, "I think you're just stubborn and greedy for credit!"
"You engaged in a gang fight, forcibly broke into an official's residence, and overstepped your authority by interfering in the duties of the Dali Temple!"
"The charges combined are enough to warrant the death penalty!"
What?
A minor disturbance broke out among the merchants.
Wei Shuyu committed so many crimes; if he were to be dismissed, they would also be implicated.
Fu Chengdu couldn't help but frown.
"Excuse me……"
Wei Shuyu suddenly smiled and said, "I am here on imperial orders to investigate the matter of military rations!"
"I have the full authority to deal with anyone who tries to obstruct me!"
Um?
Gao Shilian frowned: "Whose orders are you acting on?"
Wei Shuyu is a scoundrel.
They've been using Li Yuan's name to swindle and deceive people for quite some time now.
"Of course, it is His Majesty's decree."
Do you have any proof?
"Excuse me, this is a secret decree!"
Gao Shilian remained silent.
Wei Shuyu probably wouldn't have dared to forge an imperial edict.
"Make way, make way..."
Just then, another commotion arose outside the crowd.
It turned out that people from the Dali Temple had arrived.
"Sorry I'm late."
Sun Fujia squeezed into the crowd with a helpless expression.
Since the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review was unwilling to step forward, only the Vice Minister could do so.
"Greetings, everyone. I apologize for the slight delay in understanding what happened."
Please forgive me!
Sun Fujia bowed to the crowd with refined manners.
Everyone returned the greeting.
He gave Sun Fujia a lot of face.
Not only because he was the first top scholar in history.
Furthermore, it was because he enjoyed the deep trust of Li Shimin.
