Chapter 56: Who Dare to Cry Out for You?
In fact, Qin Ming has to investigate slowly, after all, the more evidence, the more miserable the death of these corrupt guys in the household department.
But now, these guys from Tobe have made him angry.
Everyone in the household department wanted Qin Ming to die, and they were ruthless, beating the two members of the dark web half to death.
Qin Ming couldn't swallow this breath.
Since the head of the household department has already decided in his heart that this incident was done by Qin Ming, then he will be more vigilant if he stays in the household department next.
People on the dark web were discovered once, and it was more difficult to check later.
Instead of that, now, give him a fatal blow!
At this moment, the officials of the household department were stunned, and many people looked at Qin Ming with fear on their faces.
Because what Qin Ming said about embezzling two amounts of silver is indeed correct.
Even the head of the household department looked at Qin Ming in surprise, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
At this time, the emperor deliberately said angrily: "Embezzling five million taels of silver? Do you have proof? ”
Qin Ming said: "Naturally, Your Majesty and other ministers, the evidence will come soon." ”
As he spoke, Qin Ming quickly left, while Hubu Shangshu bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, the minister is wronged, it must be this Qin Ming who bites back and frames the minister, please Your Majesty to investigate!"
"Hmph, of course I have to be aware of it, if you are really corrupt, I will kill your head!" The Emperor shouted angrily.
This is all acting, he knew about corruption yesterday, and now he says this, it is nothing more than to give him the charge of corruption.
That is, to give everyone a feeling that if it is corrupt, the emperor will definitely kill someone.
This also made many officials present frown, and they couldn't help but worry about themselves.
Of course, the people who are most worried are the people of the household department. After all, at this moment, they are the ones who are checking.
After worrying for a while, Hubu Shangshu opened his mouth and whispered to the left waiter beside him and the Lang Zhong behind him:
"Don't worry, how can that kid find out the accounts of the household department? The ledger accounts are so complicated, he can't get evidence! ”
Hearing this, these household officials also breathed a sigh of relief.
Not long after, Qin Ming was followed by two little eunuchs, each holding a large bag of account books.
Of course, these are not the account books of the household department, but the problematic part of the accounts that the dark web has copied in the household department for half a month.
None of these accounts were reconciled, and all the differences in silver taels were added up, and there were more than five million taels of silver.
Seeing these strange account books, Tobe Shangshu breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Inspector Qin, if you get these account books, you say that this official is corrupt? These are not my account books at all, are they? If you want to frame the official, you have to say things in the account book of the household department?
In this way, I will ask you to go to the household department, you go to the account room of the household department to find some account books, and you will check slowly in front of His Majesty to see if there is any corruption? ”
Of course, he dared to say this, because there were so many account books in the household department that a person might not be able to read them all in a few months, let alone find the deeply hidden account problems from them.
That's why he is so fearless at this moment, and he is not even afraid of everyone checking the accounts.
Anyway, there is no account at all, and he has a rhetoric that can be used to other accounts.
If you want to talk about other accounts, he can talk about other accounts, unless you can keep talking to him.
However, if you go around with him in tens of thousands of ledgers, you will be stunned by him sooner or later.
Therefore, he was sure that Qin Ming had no evidence at all!
Qin Ming glanced at the Hubu Shangshu meaningfully, then took an account book from the eunuch's hand and said:
"This account book is not the account book of the household department, but all the accounts recorded in it are problematic accounts of the household department."
Hearing this, Tobe Shangshu was stunned for a moment, and then sneered in his heart, because he felt that this was impossible.
How could the account problems of the household department be sorted out by Qin Ming alone so quickly for a year?
Qin Ming opened the account book and said: "On March 22 this year, Your Majesty issued an order to supervise the construction of Honghu Temple, and asked the household department to allocate 500,000 taels, of which the account shows that 500,000 taels of silver were allocated.
However, the record of appropriations one by one adds up to just over 470,000 points. May I ask Lord Shangshu, has there been more than 20,000 pieces of silver? ”
Hubu Shangshu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "There are more than 20,000 pieces of silver because of the shortage of funds in the household department at that time, and later it was transferred to the sacrificial ceremony at the end of March. ”
Qin Ming smiled, and then said: "Coincidentally, the project of this sacrificial ceremony is also clearly checked above. I'll tell you about it.
At that time, the Ministry of Household allocated 100,000 taels of silver to the Ministry of Rites, plus the Honghu Temple you said that there were 20,000 taels, a total of more than 120,000 taels.
But in fact, all the accounts add up, and they are only 90,000 taels. Excuse me, there are more than 30,000 taels, where is it? Is this money greedy from your household or from the Ministry of Rites? ”
Lord Zhou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, changed his face, there is indeed his business here, but the household department allocated more than 90,000 yuan, and he was greedy for more than 9,000 taels of silver, and he was only greedy for a few hundred taels.
After all, it's not as greedy as the household, but it's also very scared at the moment.
So he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister only received 90,000 taels of this money, and the minister was not greedy for ......."
Qin Ming said with a smile: "Lord Zhou, don't be excited, don't be afraid if you are not greedy, we are talking about Lord Zhao now." ”
The Ministry of Rites wiped his sweat and didn't dare to speak again.
And Lord Zhao, the head of the household department, swallowed his saliva and said:
"The official is not greedy, the more than 30,000 taels of silver that are not on the right pair will be spent on repairing the moat outside the capital in the following April. The cost of the moat is too great, Your Majesty allocates a million, but the actual cost is more than a hundred......"
Qin Ming didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and then said: "But in the account, the moat repair only cost 960,000, so there is an account of nearly 70,000 taels of silver, right!" ”
Qin Ming turned the accounts page by page: "At the end of April this year, when Rongcheng was flooded, the imperial court allocated 1.4 million taels of silver, and the account expenditure was 1.3 million taels, a difference of 100,000 yuan.
On May 10, the harem chief and the palace were renovated, with an allocation of 600,000 yuan, but the actual 550,000 yuan, a difference of more than 50,000 yuan.
May 23......... June 7......... June...... July 15......"
"On August 1st, when there was a drought in several cities in the west, the imperial court allocated 5 million taels of silver, but the actual allocation was 4.6 million, and the difference in accounts was 400,000 ......."
Qin Ming's voice resounded through the hall, and every account and the difference were clear.
And as these problematic accounts were so clearly said by Qin Ming, the faces of the ministers of the household department turned pale.
Hubu Shangshu, the whole person was stunned.
Listen to Qin Ming again: "In one year, there are thousands of problematic accounts, of which there are one or two hundred accounts with a difference of tens of thousands, a total difference of two five million or two hundred thousand taels of silver.
May I ask Lord Zhao Shangshu of the household department, what loopholes are these more than 500 taels of silver used to make up? Or rather, use it to replenish your little coffers! ”
Hubu Zhao Shangshu's body was shocked, and he knelt on the ground suddenly: "Your Majesty...... The minister has been wronged......"
Qin Ming waved his hand: "The accounts are here, do you dare to shout injustice?" If you ask the dozens of officials in the court who have a good relationship with you, do they dare to say that you are wronged? ”
As soon as these words came out, the ministers who originally wanted to help Zhao Shangshu speak suddenly turned pale, and they didn't dare to be this budding bird.
This Qin Ming is too ruthless, if someone wants to come out to help at this time, wouldn't he be involved in it? Read the latest chapter of "Rebirth of the Joyful King's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
