Fletcher's Descent into the Abyss Chapter 94

Wei Huaigu was imprisoned and interrogated, and Yang Cheng, the governor of Juexi, was also arrested by the Jinyiwei and taken to the imperial prison. This was a major case in the Tianchen year, and all the civil and military officials in the court were paying attention. Fletcher Shen acted quickly, and according to Yang's confession, he found out that Wei Huaigu had been reselling military rations since the fourth year of Emperor Clement.

Wei Huaigu, taking advantage of his position as the Minister of Revenue, would purchase military rations from Yang Cheng every time he supervised the military rations, and then resell them to Xi Hongxuan at a high price. Xi Hongxuan made huge profits by sending these military rations to the six states of Zhongbo and Xuhai through water and land routes, and then distributed the land tax to the fields of the thirteen cities in the west of Jue, which was borne by the ordinary people below.

"Since you have been doing this for so long, why did you only feel guilty this time and want to report to Wei Huaigu through the post station?" Fletcher Shen checked Yang Cheng's confession.

Yang Cheng was imprisoned for a few days, and he lowered his head and said, "This time it is filled with moldy things, which is different from the past. Libei is going to fight, and this grain sent there will be poison that will kill the soldiers at the border. I am afraid that something will really happen to the prince of Libei.

There was no one else around the table. Casper Xiao sat in the shadows and said coldly: "Are you so sure that these grains can be delivered to the prince's mouth?"
