Chapter 63: Fraud and Corruption Are Often Lost

On the second day, Jiang Xiange, as the day before, changed his costume and pretended to be the shopkeeper of Ruyifang, personally dealing with those officials, and taking care of Ruyifang's business in an orderly manner. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

She didn't return home, Jiang Hechuan was worried about his daughter, and from time to time he quietly came to Ruyifang to see her, and also noticed that Yu Sheng was missing, at first he thought he was going to take care of other businesses, and then Jiang Xiange told him that Yu Sheng had not shown up for a few days, and there was no news, so he sent someone to find him, but his whereabouts were still unknown.

According to the original plan, Jiang Xiange involved Xun Gaoyang, Huang Zhengting and a number of Lu Yuanzhi and other party officials into the underground money lending business of Ruyifang.

The pit that Gu Qingxuan dug for them was getting deeper and deeper, and they didn't know it when they fell into it.

At the end of the year, officials in the imperial city moved around frequently, and there was a steady stream of respectful bribes from officials from other places, Xun Huang and others not only invested money and lent money in Ruyifang, but also used stolen money to invest in Ruyifang, intending to launder money.

Gu Qingxuan was at home every day, and he came to the conclusion that it was not enough, not enough, not enough, this is not enough.

Until, on the twentieth day of the lunar month, Jiang Hechuan brought the news, and Xun and Huang each invested one million taels in Ruyifang.

Gu Qingxuan dialed the abacus and calculated an account for them, Xun Gaoyang, the first product of the right Sicheng, a year of a thousand taels, Huang Zhengting, the second grade of the household department of Shangshu, a year of a year is eight hundred taels, Rao is to let them use a few lifetimes of money, and then count a few lifetimes of corruption, bribery and dirty silver, they can't get a million taels.

Sure enough, they finally fell to the bottom of the pit -- lured by usury, and persuaded by Jiang Xiange, Xun Gaoyang and Huang Zhengting colluded privately, embezzled the treasury and silver, and took advantage of the New Year to invest money and lend money on a large scale, greedy for huge profits.

When Jiang Xiange sent the note of Xun and Huang to Gu Qingxuan, he knew that it was okay, it was enough, and this accumulated crime was enough for them to die a thousand times.

In the end, only a fatal blow was missing.

On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, when Xun Gaoyang was thinking about the new loan income that had just arrived - 100,000 taels of silver, the squire of the Criminal Department and Chang'an Ling Yin led people directly into the Xun Mansion, and the officers and soldiers surrounded the Xun family.

When Xun Gaoyang heard the news, he stumbled to the main hall, only to see Yin Qi, the servant of the Criminal Department, practicing the search order, standing in the hall, and a team of officers and soldiers of the Criminal Department went straight to the backyard of Xun's house.

After a while, the group returned to the front yard and brought with them a rotting corpse that had just been dug out of the earth.

The subordinate members of the criminal department led by him replied solemnly: "Lord Yu Shilang, sure enough, the body was dug up in the backyard of Xun Mansion, and it has been verified, it is indeed the body of Yu Sheng, the manager of the missing Ruyi Fang, for examination, the deceased died about seven days ago, which is consistent with the time cited by the witness!"

Xun Gaoyang suddenly thundered like five thunders, stunned, looked at the rotten corpse of the white cloth in horror, his legs were weak and he suddenly knelt on the ground, and shouted in a hissed voice: "No! No! This corpse has nothing to do with my Xun family!"

Yin Qixiu was indifferent and solemn, and interrogated him: "Xun Sicheng is saying that you have never known Yu Sheng of Ruyi Fang?"

Xun Gaoyang trembled like chaff, and kept shaking his head: "No, I've seen him, I, I saw this steward when I went to Ruyifang...... I heard that his whereabouts were unknown a few days ago, and I wondered...... But, however, how did you think that he was killed and buried in my backyard? Lord Yin is aware of it!"

"Buried in your backyard has nothing to do with you? It seems a little unreasonable, right?" Yin Qixiu said sarcastically, and then said with a straight face: "Someone reported to the Criminal Department today that Xun Sicheng invested money and lent money in Ruyifang, and had a quarrel with Yu Sheng, the manager of Ruyifang, because of the entanglement of money and silver, he killed Yu Sheng, who came to the door to extort on the evening of the eighteenth of this month, and buried him under the wall of the backyard of Xunfu!"

He took out an account book from his sleeve, threw it in front of Xun Gaoyang, and said, "Before coming to your mansion to search, this official has searched Ruyi Fang and found this account book, on which Xun Sicheng's name is quite a lot. Now that the human and material evidence are there, please Xun Sicheng go to the Criminal Department to be examined! Lord Yin has issued a blockade order to immediately close the Xun Mansion, and all the 83 people in the Mansion are in prison pending trial!"

……

Xun Gaoyang flatly denied the crime of murder, and asked in every possible way who falsely reported him, Yin Qixiu refused to disclose it in the name of protecting witnesses, he was anxious to prove his innocence, but on the same day, the Criminal Department thoroughly checked the accounts of Ruyifang, and found the signatures of Xun Huang and others for loans, and in an instant, the crime of murder became insignificant.

lending, embezzlement, embezzlement of huge sums of money from the state treasury......

One by one, they surfaced and pressed down heavily, and once this heinous crime was verified, the whole door was beheaded in front of them.

The disaster came suddenly, and Xun Gaoyang vomited blood three feet in the prison of the Criminal Department.

In the evening of the same day, Yin Qixiu led people to surround the Huang Mansion and arrest Huang Zhengting, and all 48 people in the Huang Mansion were imprisoned. Huang Zhengting didn't even have time to go to Xiangguo's Mansion to ask the Lu family for help, and he was in prison.

Other officials involved in casino lending have also been investigated.

Xun Huang's confession pointed directly to the shopkeeper of Ruyifang, "Jiang Gu", and Jiang Gu had completely disappeared.

Seeing that the big crime was inevitable, Xun Gaoyang wrote in prison and reported Yin Jiheng's private casino.

The result was also in vain, Yin Jiheng was the most incomprehensible to what he was referring to, let alone what to do with their affairs? After learning of Xun Gaoyang's report, Yin Jiheng immediately entered the palace to clarify for himself before the holy car, but he did not forget to invite himself to take credit.

Talking about Xun Gaoyang's confession that he saw Yin Jiheng appear in Ruyifang, Yin Jiheng "confessed" to the emperor, in fact, he has been secretly investigating Xun Huang and others, and that time he went to the casino to investigate them, and he wanted to collect evidence to impeach them for the crime of gambling, but he never thought that what they committed was a mortal crime that was thousands of times more serious than gambling.

Knowing that Xun Huang and others embezzled a huge amount of treasury silver when the treasury was empty, Chen Jingxing, who was already furious, naturally did not believe the one-sided words of Xun Gaoyang and others, and ordered Yushitai to participate in the review of this major case, and set the five divisions of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Yushitai to thoroughly investigate Xun Huang and others.

At a deeper level, this blade is actually rushing towards Lu Yuanzhi and his friends.

Although Lu Yuanzhi knew that Xun Huang and others had gambling habits, he never thought that they would commit such a big crime, all of this was the most sudden for the Lu family, as if overnight, the situation in Chang'an City changed color.

Unexpectedly, several beams and pillars around him were broken off, collapsing with a bang, and there was no hope of saving.

After the incident of Huang Zhengting, the Huang family rushed to Xiangguo's mansion for help, like a thunder in front of Lu Yuanzhi's eyes, Mrs. Huang begged him to save Huang Zhengting, but what countermeasures did he have to think of?

Lu Yuanzhi went to the palace, and when Yin Jiheng Yin Qi Xiu's father and son counted Xun Huang's crimes in front of the holy car, Chen Jingxing threw the incriminating evidence submitted by the criminal department in front of Lu Yuanzhi.

After confirming the crime of Xun Huang and others embezzling huge sums of money from the state treasury, Lu Yuanzhi immediately bowed down and only said four words.

Deserve!

This was not enough, after he left the palace, he went directly to the prison of the Criminal Department and scolded Xun Gaoyang and Huang Zhengting in person.

Seeing that the last straw was hopeless, Huang Zhengting burned all the inside, scolded Lu Yuanzhi, and threatened him in a hurry, if he didn't save himself, then Lu Yuanzhi would lose the support of the entire household.

Lu Yuanzhi looked up to the sky in the prison and laughed: "Without Gu Qingxuan, I could have raised you to the position of the head of the household! Without you! I still have a long inheritance! The household is still pinched by my Lu family! Who do you think you are? You are just a pawn under the old man! You are all!"

Huang Zhengting's eyes were cracked, and he grabbed the cell door and shouted: "Sister, sister, you heard everything, right? Sister, our Huang family can't survive!"
