Chapter 925: Tooth Extraction from the Tiger's Mouth
There was silence in the hall, and no one could contradict him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because Jinshang disaster relief is not once or twice, not once or twice, but every year; Because the truth he said involves the economy, people's livelihood, internal worries, and external troubles, and is a policy for governing the country.
Master Jiang's eyes narrowed slightly, and Huo Ran made up his mind in an instant.
He whispered a few words to the other two adults, and the two of them kept nodding after hearing this, and then he sat upright, grabbed the shocking wood with his right hand, slapped it down, and shouted: "The Northwest Forbidden Army owes the Fang clan more than 500,000 taels of military salaries, and the household department will repay it on the same day!" ”
After speaking, he immediately asked the old Xuanwu King to report the number, and ordered someone to calculate according to the number of forbidden troops in the northwest, check it with the IOU, and finally wrote the judgment document, personally stamped the seal, and asked the other two adults to seal it, hand it over to Fang Chu, and let him go to the household department to collect debts.
He didn't mention interest.
Fang Chu and the old Xuanwu King also didn't mention it interestingly, it was a great luck to be able to get the principal back, and it wasn't asking for trouble to mention the interest again.
As for the court trial, that's the end of it.
Why?
Because I can't go on with the trial.
Except for the fifteenth and sixteenth years of Zhide, the Northwest Forbidden Army has never had a shortage of military salaries, although the abolished prince embezzled military salaries for more than a year, but the old Xuanwu King insisted that the military salaries in the northwest were not short.
The key witnesses were all killed in the case of illegal firearms.
Accusations against King Xuanwu and the Fang family, unless there is new witness testimony.
The old Xuanwu King rolled his eyes and sneered: "The abolished prince dares to embezzle the military salary of the Northwest Army again and again, can this king be indifferent?" Is the old man really a sick turtle? ”
Lord Jiang and the other three listened to this and were extremely mysterious:
It seems to mean that the abolished prince has indeed been misappropriating the northwest military salary, and he lost the reserve position because of the promotion of King Xuanwu; It also seems to say that if the abolished prince really embezzled the military salary in the northwest repeatedly, how could King Xuanwu tolerate this situation to continue, and he would have already quarreled about it, so this accusation is purely a false accusation.
No matter what the inside situation was, Master Jiang and the other three realized that the old and young Xuanwu King was not only not a sick turtle, but also very strong and majestic, and those who wanted to bite him were only afraid that they would jump their teeth.
When he got out of the hall, the old Xuanwu King patted Fang Chu on the shoulder and said, "The Fang family has been wronged. ”
Fang Chu said gratefully: "Thanks to the old prince's justice. ”
The old prince laughed and said: "It is natural to repay debts!" ”
After speaking, he swaggered out of the court.
Fang Chu also retired and went straight to the household department.
Leaving behind a hall of people's minds is complicated.
Household Yamen.
Li Langzhong of the Jin Department intersected with the Fang family, and when he saw Fang Chu coming to the inner hall of the Jin Ministry, his worried heart fell, thinking that since he could come here, then today's trial must be safe and sound; followed him and wondered, did Fang Chu come to look for him, or was there something else?
Fang Chu had other things, but he was also looking for him.
He showed Li Langzhong the documents of Master Jiang and asked for debts.
Li Langzhong opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time.
Fang Chu asked, "My lord, do you have any silver?" ”
Li Langzhong woke up and said continuously: "Yes, yes." ”
The dignified Celestial Empire is a big country, the country is rich and the people are strong, how can the treasury not even have 500,000!
Fang Chu asked, "How to withdraw?" ”
Li Langzhong took a deep breath and told him, "I want to ask Lord Shangshu for approval." ”
Fang Chu nodded, and estimated in his heart that this process was also the same, there was no reason to be able to withdraw 500,000 silver casually with this document, and the procedures of the household department were too child's play.
Feng Shangshu took the document of the judgment and payment of the three divisions, and trembled with anger.
"How can this be true? is obviously ill-intentioned, and he dares to ask for debts! He shuddered.
"My lord, please talk to the three adults. The villain does not understand the government. The villain is here to collect debts. It's been a few years since the money was paid, and it was time to pay it back. Fang Chu was neither humble nor arrogant.
"This official wants to enter the palace to see the emperor. You'll come back tomorrow. Feng Shangshu pushed the matter.
"My lord, forgive me!" Fang Chu said.
"What do you want to do?" Feng Shangshu asked sternly.
"My lord, if it were normal, it would be okay to delay it for three or five days or a few months, but not right now. The Fang family borrowed silver to the Northwest Army, and was actually framed for funding King Xuanwu to support his own army, so the villain must get this money back today. Fang Chu said resolutely.
"The Fang family originally funded the Xuanwu King to support his own troops." Feng Shangshu thought to himself.
"There is no silver today. How are you staying? And he got up.
"The lord is a dignified household, and he wants to lose his trust with the people?" Fang Chu asked.
"There is just no silver." Feng Shangshu insisted on lying to the end and asked him to give the silver to Fang Chu to take away, which was more painful than ripping off his flesh, which not only involved his bottom line, but also his face.
"The villain had to ask the adults to go somewhere." Fang Chu said.
"Where?" Feng Shangshu asked vigilantly.
"The adults don't pay off their debts, and the villain has no choice but to go to Dali Temple to beat the drum and voice the grievances, and ask the three adults just now to make decisions for the villain." Fang Chu didn't give an inch and let it go.
"You...... Don't you dare! Feng Ge was furious.
This profiteer is so arrogant, how tolerable is it!
In the yamen of the household department, officials of all sizes learned that Fang Chu had come to collect debts.
Everyone looked for an opportunity to walk to the public house near Lord Shangshu and listened attentively.
was making a fuss, and suddenly a relative hurriedly returned to Feng Shangshu: "My lord, the old prince of Xuanwu is here." ”
As soon as the words fell, his body was rudely pulled aside, and the old prince of Xuanwu appeared majestically in front of Feng Shangshu, and said: "This king almost forgot, the household has you, a sour Confucian scholar, and Fang Xiaozi may not be able to collect the debt." And the king came. It's really a surprise for this king! ”
After that, he slapped a heavy slap on Feng Shangshu's table, and a blue and white flower and bird porcelain teacup on the table bounced up and fell to the ground, and "Ding Dong" fell to pieces.
The person who was eavesdropping outside shrank his neck and quietly smacked his lips and stuck out his tongue, "The old turtle is angry. ”
The old prince shouted angrily: "Feng Lao'er, why don't you give the silver? ”
Feng Shangshu sneered: "Lord Wang, you better take care of yourself first!" ”
The old prince also sneered: "Feng Lao'er, you are also a national scholar, and you actually learn from the market!" Do you want to say that this king has self-respect? Wait until tomorrow morning. If you have the ability to copy the Xuanwu Palace, you will get the money back. Now you have to pay off your debts first. Occupying other people's money for so many years, not to mention the interest, and not even paying back the principal, what face do I have in the hearts of the people in the Dajing court and hundreds of officials! ”
"Not bad! Pay off the debt first! ”
As he spoke, Master Jiang, Lord Wang, and Lord Cai walked in together.
Jiang Zhihao and the others were also afraid that Fang Chu would not be able to get the silver, so they rushed over.
They didn't care about Fang Chu, but with Fang Chu's performance today, if they couldn't get the silver, they wouldn't give up, maybe they would go to Dali Temple to beat the drum and voice their grievances, Guo Zhinu might go into the palace to find the Empress Dowager to make the decision, since they sentenced to pay back, they should give the silver to the Fang family.
As the old prince said: What happens next depends on the progress of the case. If you want to quarrel or quarrel, you should also go to the Golden Temple to quarrel. If the Fang family and Guo Zhinu are provoked to sue the emperor, the impact will be too great, and it will attract criticism from the Northwest Army and the people of the world. After all, the silver was not obtained by the Xuanwu Palace, but was actually distributed to the Northwest Forbidden Army.
With only two years of silver, it is impossible to judge the self-respect of King Xuanwu's army.
Only if there is no reason to support the Xuanwu Palace's silver money for a long time can it be judged.
Feng Shangshu was attacked from three sides, and he had no choice but to let go.
