Chapter 338: Money Laundering Place
"Prime Minister Meng seems to have the same idea today." Emperor Yuanwu paused and said, "It's just that at the moment, there is no particularly suitable candidate."
When Concubine Shu heard what Emperor Yuanwu said, she had other ideas in mind.
In her next letter home, she would definitely remind her father and mother to find a wife for her eldest brother as soon as possible.
Otherwise, someone will always be thinking about you.
"Why is there such a big box in the yard?" Emperor Yuanwu asked in confusion.
Mu Junhan felt a chill down his spine. "Father, these are some fabrics I brought back from the frontier. They are nothing special."
"Cloth from the border areas?" Emperor Yuanwu seemed to be interested. "The border areas are bitter and cold, and the people there have been suffering from wars for many years. The court allocates funds to the border areas every year, which has almost become the largest expenditure of the national treasury. I would like to see what the people in the border areas wear on a daily basis."
The smile on Concubine Shu's face froze.
Thinking about the precious materials in the box.
Emperor Yuanwu's words made her heart skip a beat.
Concubine Shu moved her lips and just wanted to stop Emperor Yuanwu from opening the box.
Mu Junhan lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, blocking the way of Emperor Yuanwu: "Father, I have something to report about this matter."
While listening to what Mu Junhan said, Mu Qianqian was secretly feeling bound in her heart.
【What's so strange about this store? 】
【Isn't it just a place to launder money? 】
[Those officials embezzled the imperial funds, but had nowhere to spend them, so they opened a store like this and used it as their own profit.]
[All the corrupt officials in our area do this.]
[The corruption is a minor issue. I suspect that they already knew my second brother’s identity.]
[Then he wanted to use my second brother's hand to transport these poisonous cloths to the palace.]
[I just studied it carefully. The strong fragrance that was emitted the moment the box was opened is probably not fragrance, but the smell of poison that has been sealed for too long.]
[I guess the wood used to make this box has been soaked in poison for a long time.]
[After the fabric is placed inside for a long time, it will also be contaminated with poison. If people use the fabric to make clothes, the poison will seep into their skin through contact with the fabric.]
[This poisoning method is really too cruel. Isn't it equivalent to taking poison slowly? ]
[All those palace fighting dramas I followed before were so weak. ]
[So, for this costume drama, you have to watch the live version. ]
[Of course, not everyone is as lucky as me. ]
【It’s over! Barbie is cute! 】
[Since my father was investigating the problems on the border, he hasn't come back to Qiluan Garden to see me for ten days or half a month.]
【I am delicious! 】
【I am fun. 】
【Nothing.】
After hearing Mu Junhan's report, Emperor Yuanwu immediately issued a secret decree, ordering Lu Zhaofeng to take a dozen of his trusted aides to rush to the border overnight and raid the silk shop.
To prevent any further complications.
When Lu Zhaofeng was at the border, he interrogated the owner of the silk shop overnight.
More than one hundred court officials were involved.
Ever since the accident of Zhuangpin's father, the Grand Censor, this position has remained vacant.
Emperor Yuanwu ordered Lu Zhaolin to serve as the Imperial Censor to investigate corruption and bribery among officials in frontier areas.
Lu Zhaofeng rushed to the border that day.
Word spread quickly.
The next morning.
Shu Guifei had just gotten up when a female voice came from the direction of the palace gate.
