Chapter 511
Qin Huaidao saluted Li Shimin first. Li Shimin nodded, and then asked Qin Huaidao with a smile: "Have you found out something?"
"Brother, yes, I went to the Maomei Workshop early this morning and investigated the fire. I found that those who could set fire inside were all acquaintances. Then I began to check the workers who entered the workshop during this period.
The workers in the workshop have a high income, which is enough for them to support a family, so they cannot commit a fire at all. This is a death sentence, so it is basically certain that someone instigated the arson.
If someone instigated him, the person who set fire would definitely not be able to survive. So Erchen summoned all the workers and found that a man named Zhang Jian had not come. Erchen went to investigate. Finally, his body was found in the moat of the South Gate. Then he caught another person who took Zhang Jian out. He was now locked up in the Wuwei Barracks and was being interrogated. He came to report first!" Qin Huaidao stood there and bowed his hand.
"Okay, look, this is the only thing to do. In half a day, I found out the veins. If it were you, come and report first. When I wait for my instructions, the criminals have already run away. Who else can I catch?" Li Shimin nodded happily, then pointed at Qin Huaidao and said to the others.
"The father is apologizing, my son is already rude and didn't come to ask for instructions to the father first!" Qin Huaidao bowed his hand again.
"What should I report? What can my father instruct? This is your Ministry of Works. As the Minister of Works, you should have to investigate it first before reporting!" Li Shimin asked Qin Huaidao with a smile.
"Yes!" Qin Huaidao bowed and said again.
"Have you eaten yet?" Li Shimin asked looking at Qin Huaidao.
"No, I've been checking this matter when I came out in the morning. And it's still snowing outside now. I see that the heavy snow is quite heavy, and I guess it won't stop today. Your Majesty, it's time to consider the disaster situation. Alas, it's heavy snow every year, and it's disaster every year!" Qin Huaidao said in a sigh.
"Come here, prepare lunch for Boping, and eat here!" Li Shimin said, and an eunuch was about to go out.
"Boping, it's much better now. Last year, many people built blue brick houses and had stoves. Even if they were affected, there would be no major problems. So don't worry too much. Unless such snow is the next three days and three nights, there would be no major problems!" Fang Xuanling said to Qin Huaidai with a smile. The impact of the snow disaster is very small now. Before, many people would have to freeze to death every year.
"That's good!" Qin Huaidao nodded, Li Shimin signaled him to sit down. Qin Huaidao bowed and sat down.
Li Tai, who was standing beside him, was always feeling like he was feeling pins and needles. Qin Huaidao said that he had caught someone, and the person sent to kill someone was from his house. Once Qin Huaidao asked something, it would be troublesome.
Li Tai regretted it very much at this moment. He shouldn't have killed Zhang Jian, so he let him live. Perhaps Qin Huaidao couldn't find out anything. Now that Zhang Jian is dead, everyone knows that someone deliberately sent someone to set fire. Qin Huaidao also caught someone. In this way, his own affairs may be exposed at any time.
At this moment, he was very anxious and wanted to leave the palace to ask Duke Chen, what should I do about this matter?
"Father, my son is a little uncomfortable and I want to take his leave first!" At this moment, Li Tai was sitting there, looking at Li Shimin and bowing.
"Don't feel comfortable? Come on, I'll send you the imperial doctor here, hurry up!" Li Shimin was anxious when he heard this, and immediately ordered the eunuch beside him.
"yes!"
"Father, there is no need to be such trouble. I just feel a little dizzy. I want to go back to my house to rest. I guess I didn't sleep well last night!" Li Tai bowed his hand to Li Shimin again and said.
"Well, so, go to the wing room next to you and go to bed, and don't rush back home. If there is anything, there is an imperial doctor here, Gao Ming, help Qingque over!" Li Shimin said worriedly.
"Yes, Father!"
"This is!" Li Tai nodded in a helpless manner, thinking that if he insisted on going back, Li Shimin might be suspicious.
Soon, Li Tai went out. After arriving at the wing, Li Tai whispered to a manager beside him, asking him to go out to find Duke Chen, and told Duke Chen what Qin Huaidao said just now, and then lay on the bed. Qin Huaidao, who was in the Ganlu Palace, had just finished his meal.
"Let's go to the greenhouse, it's comfortable there. I just like the greenhouse!" Li Shimin saw that Qin Huaidao had finished eating, so he stood up and walked towards the greenhouse. Qin Huaidao and the others followed.
"Boping, do you say that someone deliberately set fire to this matter? Is there a suspect?" Li Shimin asked Qin Huaidao.
"There is no doubt about the object, but the one who dares to set fire in the Ministry of Works' workshop, and who has the ability, I think you can count it with both hands!" Qin Huaidao said after Li Shimin, and Li Ke and the others were shocked when they heard it.
"Huh?" Li Shimin also stopped and turned his head to look at Qin Huaidao, who also looked at Li Shimin.
"Investigate, no matter who it is, check!" Li Shimin stared at Qin Huaidao and said. This incident also reminded Qin Huaidao that someone wanted to make trouble, and that was to do big things, so it must be investigated strictly.
"Yes, my father, I'm still interrogating that person, but strangely, that person has no identity, and I don't even ask, I guess he was a dead soldier who was raised in the mansion!" Qin Huaidao continued to speak to Li Shimin.
"Use the dead soldiers to kill people, well, as you said, you can count with both hands!" Li Shimin nodded and said.
"I'm thinking about what the other party's purpose of setting fire? I haven't figured it out." Qin Huaidao said to Li Shimin.
"Well, let's go, I'll arrive at the greenhouse later and say while drinking tea!" Li Shimin said to Qin Huaidao, and then walked towards the greenhouse. When he arrived at the greenhouse, Li Shimin asked Li Chengqian to make tea, and he sat there and talked to the ministers.
"Tell me, just guess what is the purpose of the person who set fire?" Li Shimin sat down and spoke.
"I really don't know this. After all, things were too sudden and nothing happened before!" Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, he couldn't figure it out,
Whoever was full and ran to the workshop to set the fire, but everyone knew that the fire must have a purpose, but they just didn't know it yet.
"Boping, is the loss a lot?" Li Shimin asked Qin Huaidao.
"It's big, the materials alone cost more than 3,000 guan. There is also this house, but we rented it and needed to repair it. We can't get it without 2,000 guan. Father and son minister have considered the issue of self-theft of custody, but I personally inspected this batch of materials before the New Year. After the New Year, the Ministry of Works sent officials to untie the seal.
Therefore, there is no one who deliberately prevents fire in order to erase the bill. The people in the Ministry of Workshop, from officials to workers, have very good incomes. They really don’t need to do such things.” Qin Huaidao asked Li Shimin.
"The 5,000 guan is gone?" Cheng Yaojin and the others looked at Qin Huaidao in shock. Qin Huaidao nodded and said, "You also know that the profit of the Maomei Workshop in a year. I said that the net profit is more than 10,000 guan, and the warehouse needs to prepare three months of goods!"
"Damn it, Boping, think about it, what is the purpose?" Li Shimin asked.
"The first one is the competitor, but it doesn't exist. We have no conflict with their goods. Our goods are better and the prices are also expensive. On the market, it is not of the same level at all. There is no problem of competition.
Another one is to be revenge on the Ministry of Works. For example, the person in charge of the workshop, such as the person in charge of the workshop, is Erchen, but it does not exist. The person in charge of the workshop was transferred last year. Although Erchen offended someone, he couldn't go to the Ministry of Works. Erchen also has snack workshops, why are there many over there? So, Erchen is a little confused about the other party's purpose!" Qin Huaidao looked at Li Shimin and said.
"Is that possible for other purposes, such as diverting your sight, or hitting the west?" Fang Xuanling looked at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"Device the sight?" Qin Huaidao also began to think about this purpose when he heard it. After thinking carefully, if he changes his sight, who is it? Or is it from the court?
"Uncle Fang, do you think if the other party wants to divert his sight, would it be diverted from me or the court?" Qin Huaidao still looked up at Fang Xuanling and asked.
"This? Your Majesty, there have been many strange things recently. The things in Tubo have also happened strangely!" Fang Xuanling thought about it, turned his head and looked at Li Shimin and started talking.
"What you mean is to divert the sight from this aspect? It doesn't make sense. Tubo wants us to increase troops, but if we divert our sight, we don't let us increase troops. The Turks did it. I think they don't have the ability yet, right?" Li Shimin also said suspiciously. This matter is unreasonable.
"That's Boping's sight?" Fang Xuanling stared at Qin Huaidao.
"I don't need to do anything recently, I just plan to build a palace." Qin Huaidao looked at Fang Xuanling in confusion.
"That seems to be a matter of diverting attention!" Li Shimin then spoke,
Qin Huaidao was thinking at this moment, was it because he was transferring his own account check? Some people knew that they might have to check the account books of paper mills and printing factories, and they wanted to prevent themselves from checking the accounts?
But it is also different. If you are preventing yourself from checking the accounts, it would be better to set fire to the paper mill and the printing factory. Is it necessary to burn the workshop of the Ministry of Industry?
"Boping, what are you thinking about?" Li Shimin asked when he saw Qin Huaidao sitting there in a daze.
