When everyone heard this, they all started discussing one after another.
"It turns out that's the case. Let me just say that His Royal Highness Li Wang has always been a hero to the common people. It is impossible for him to ignore death. It turns out that he trusted the queen and did not fight with the queen, but the queen treated us like this!"
"Those nobles and wealthy families donated all their money to the queen in order to curry favor with the queen. The queen raised several million taels of silver in just three days. But she let us drink this kind of porridge. The money must have been embezzled by the empress and Mrs. Wei together!"
"Yes! The money must have been embezzled by them! Otherwise, why would you give us bad porridge?"
The people roared excitedly again.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wei Guo hurriedly said: "Don't listen to Chu Xuanchen's nonsense! We didn't embezzle the disaster relief funds at all. The empress empress transported all the money to the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief!"
"The queen transported the money to Jiangnan for disaster relief? When did this happen?" Chu Xuanchen asked suddenly.
Mrs. Wei Guo's eyes flickered, and she rolled her eyes.
She had done something bad, and once she was exposed, she was very flustered, "It happened yesterday, my mother ordered people to transport the money to Jiangnan yesterday, so that people in Jiangnan could buy food for disaster relief. The people in Jiangnan are more miserable and pitiful, of course she Help them first!"
Chu Xuanchen sneered, "I heard that you raised three million taels of silver in three days. It's impossible to transport all of this money to the south of the Yangtze River, right? Didn't you leave some for the disaster victims in the imperial city?"
Mrs. Wei Guo's eyes flickered even more, "Who said we raised three million taels? We only raised two million taels, and we have the account books to prove it. Only two million taels is not enough to even help the people in the south of the Yangtze River. Where is it?" Enough for the disaster victims in the imperial city? So the empress allocated some money to relieve the disaster in the imperial city, as for the rest, they were all transported to the south of the Yangtze River! Chu Xuanchen, don't talk nonsense, so as not to tarnish the empress empress' reputation!"
At this time, not far away, a middle-aged man in a blue official uniform suddenly ran over leading a team of officials escorting prisoners.
Yun Ruoyue took a closer look, isn't that Zhang Fuyin?
Why is he here?
It seems that this should have been planned by Chu Xuanchen long ago.
This man is really powerful, it is better for ordinary people not to go against him, lest they be cheated to death by him without knowing it!
As soon as Zhang Fuyin ran over, he said: "My lord, see the lord. My lord, the official took people to Mrs. Wei's villa, and found that she had hidden nearly three million taels of silver in the cellar! At that time, the official sent someone to During the search, I saw Mrs. Wei Guo's confidant Gao Yang was stealing the silver in the cellar, so the officials arrested him. The accountant and the thugs who guarded the house were also arrested, and I asked the prince to deal with it !"
After Zhang Fuyin finished speaking, Gao Yang, the accountant and the thugs who were tied up were all escorted to the ground and knelt down.
As soon as a few people knelt on the ground, they began to cry and cry for grievances.
"This matter is all done by Mrs. Wei Guo alone. We don't know anything. We just follow her orders and it's none of our business!"
"Yes, Mrs. Wei Guo threatened us. If we don't embezzle money for her, she will kill us. How dare we not do it?"
"Gao Yang, you guys eat everything inside and out, my lady treats you well, how dare you betray me?" Mrs. Wei Guo glared at them angrily.
Especially Gao Yang, she trusted him very much, never thought that he would betray her. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
