Yang Yuanhai said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The minister doesn't know what the crime is, and I hope that the prince will make it clear." ”

Guo Zheng waved his hand and ordered someone to throw all those documents and account books in front of Yang Yuanhai, and in addition, the dozens of large boxes copied from Yang's house were also carried up, and the lobby of Ruoda was full, which made the people at the door stunned for a while.

"Wow, there are so many!"

"The Yang family has been honest for generations, even if it is inherited from the ancestors, there shouldn't be so many."

"It seems that the Yang family really looted the people's fat and people's ointment, and I always thought they were good officials, but it turned out that I was blind."

"Phew~ I just said that there are few good things in these officials, and the world is as black as a crow, and that's true."

The chatter of the common people gathered at the door became louder and louder, and it faintly spread to the inner hall.

The emperor's eyes darkened, and he did not speak.

Fan Chiwu and Hai Qing glanced at each other, and they both saw a touch of pride in each other's eyes.

Guo Zheng's face was faint, and he couldn't see his joy or anger, he just stared deeply at Yang Yuanhai's action of flipping through the account book, not for a moment.

After a long time, Yang Yuanhai raised his head and said, "Lord Wang, the number of accounts and documents is not wrong. ”

As soon as these words came out, the group of people outside the door was in an uproar.

There is nothing wrong with the document, that is the meaning of confession?

This Yang family can raise such a huge greed, can there be a clean official in this court? Who else will be able to sincerely benefit their people in the future?

For a time, those ordinary people were confused.

"Lord Yang, you can see clearly, if those numbers are not wrong, then how to explain the contents of these boxes?" Guo Zheng pointed to the big box and motioned for someone to open it.

The messenger stepped forward and picked open the boxes one by one.

The contents of the box were revealed.

There was another gasp from the crowd.

"These things are worth more than the ones that were brought out of the Gao family in the first place, right?" Someone asked.

"Isn't it? It is said that the Gao family is greedy, but the Gao family doesn't have so many treasures, which of these things is not worth a fortune. ”

The crowd began to talk again.

Guo Zheng asked solemnly again: "Lord Yang, how do you explain these things?" Why don't many of your belongings in your house have them on them? ”

With Guo Zheng's questioning, the corners of Fan Chiwu's mouth lifted, revealing a sneer of triumph.

This time, he wants to see if the Yang family has not fallen.

Yang Yuanhai looked at Guo Zheng with an innocent face and said, "These are all dowry gifts from Gu Ergongzi to the little girl, may I ask, what's wrong?" ”

Everyone was stunned, even the emperor didn't expect that Gu Chen would give so many dowry gifts.

Fan Chiwu took the lead in questioning: "Yang Yuanhai, you don't climb to the head of Gu, if it is a dowry, why is there no record on the part of the Ministry of Rites?" Didn't you say that the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household joined forces to eliminate the bride price list that entered your house? ”

He went to the Ministry of Rites to find out clearly, Yang Mansion has no record of these dozens of boxes of things at all, if this is a dowry, why is there no gift list?

"Lord Fan, you are in such a hurry, haven't you been eyeing my dozens of boxes of objects for a long time?" Yang Yuanhai's words pierced the surface of Fan Chiwu's greedy ambition.

Fan Chiwu's face changed, and then he hurriedly defended with a white face: "What nonsense are you talking about!" ”

Yang Yuanhai said unhurriedly, "These dozens of boxes of objects were brought in by the Gu family, my Yang family is famous for loving her daughter, so naturally it is impossible to really accept so many valuable items, these things are naturally on the little girl's dowry list." ”

When the people present heard this, they were in an uproar again.

At the beginning, the daughter of the Yang family got married beautifully, and everyone in the capital knew that the ten miles of red makeup, I don't know how many people's eyes were red, and they all said that the princess was married like this.

But didn't I think that the Yang family would also include the dowry in their daughter's dowry?

"These things are all dowries belonging to the little girl, but they are just placed in the Yang family's treasury, if Lord Fan doesn't believe it, just find the book of the Ministry of Rites to verify it." Yang Yuanhai said, arching his hand at Guo Zheng, who was at the top, "Lord Wang, as for the silver taels from the household department, I hope that the prince can allow the heir certificate." ”

Guo Zheng was obviously also shocked by the dozens of boxes of dowry items of the Gu and Yang families, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Call Yan Jian up." Guo Zheng ordered.

The messenger answered and went to the back hall.

Yan Jian was waiting there early today, in order to bring down the Yang family, he had a lot of effort these days, in addition to Yan Jian, there was also a dark and thin young man, who looked about twenty years old, the whole person looked unattractive, but his two eyes were shining from time to time.

The messenger led the two people to the lobby, and the two of them knelt down in unison, and after saluting the emperor and the emperor on the side, they heard Guo Zheng ask: "You have identified Yang Yuanhai as embezzling the silver of the disaster, what evidence do you have?" ”

Yan Jianjian handed out the account book when he was in charge of the household department, and the young man kneeling beside Yan Jian handed over a ledger of the details of the use of Yao County's bank.

Guo Zheng ordered someone to present it, Yang Yuanhai looked at the young man who was not good-looking, and asked curiously: "Foot is from my Ministry of Industry?" Why have I never seen a footfoot? ”

The man knelt up straight, and said with a righteous appearance: "I am Zhang Cao, a member of the Ministry of Labor, and your dignified Lord Shangshu naturally doesn't recognize such nobodies as us." ”

In that tone, there was quite a hint of accusation.

Yang Hong smiled when he heard this: "Dare to be the nephew of Lord Chai, I don't remember that you are in the list of people who went to Yao County." ”

The implication is that he is not in the entourage list, and how did the details in his hand come from?

That's where it gets interesting.

"If you let the two of you know that I'm with you, I'm afraid that your actions won't be easy to be discovered, right?" Zhang Ke sneered, and said to Guo Zhengyi, who was on the road, "Lord Wang, since the father and son of the Yang family have never done anything related to people's livelihood since they arrived in Yao County, they only know how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, and exploit the common people. ”

Guo Zheng raised his eyes from the two booklets, and looked at Yan Jian and Zhang Ke who were kneeling below, their eyes were dim.

Cheng Anhou, who was sitting on the side and listening, was so nervous that his hairs stood on end.

He knows what kind of people the Yang family is, but he can't stand these villains joining forces to make a fake, although the king of Zhenbei and him are both fierce generals on the battlefield, and they are also in-laws.

But the two are in charge of different realms, and there are very few opportunities to meet on weekdays, so they have never had a deep friendship, and he is actually not very clear about this person's actions and people.

It's just that at this time, seeing Yan Jian and the others speak conclusively, but Guo Zheng didn't speak for a long time, his heart was almost beating out of his throat.

If the Yang family is convicted, Cheng'an Houfu doesn't say it, just say that the daughter of the Yang family who just married from Cheng'an Houfu will do it? What about the baby in my daughter's womb?

In just a few breaths, Cheng Anhou thought about it and imagined countless ways to deal with it, but it was not perfect after all.

The people gathered outside also exchanged heads and ears from time to time, discussing the outcome of the incident.

At this moment, the voice of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu came in: "Lao Chen, here are all the gift lists of the Yang family when they married their daughters, and there are indeed the names of these dozens of boxes of things present, and I also ask the prince to look at them." ”

As the voice rang out, an old figure walked in.

Everyone was shocked in unison, it turned out that those dozens of boxes of things were really registered in the Ministry of Rites!

So, what are the ones that Lord Fan handed over to Lord Hai before? Could it be that when Lord Fan was checking the Yang family's gift list, didn't the people in the Ministry of Rites tell him that the Gu family also had a gift list?

This question is not only for the people present, but also for Fan Chiwu, who feels that he has been shaded, so his face at the moment is simple and ugly.

"Master Sun, you didn't say that there was such a dowry list before!" Fan Chiwu only felt that he was tricked by this old fox, and he personally went to the Ministry of Rites to check the gift lists of the two families, in order to prevent omissions in the dowry.

Unexpectedly, this old thing still has such a hand.

"Lord Fan, when you first came to the Ministry of Rites, you asked for a register of all the Yang family's property, but you didn't say that you wanted to take care of the Gu family, these dowries are in the name of the Gu family, so naturally they can't be counted as the Yang family's things, what's wrong with the old man?"

Sun Zhiyuan replied directly, and Fan Chiwu was instantly speechless.

He knew that he had been exploited, and his face suddenly turned purple with anger, and he pointed at Sun Zhiyuan and said, "Lord Sun, you are not afraid of being ridiculed by Your Majesty?" ”

Sun Zhiyuan said without changing his face: "Lord Fan's words are funny, you are so anxious that Fan bites the Yang family, you want to confirm the Yang family's corruption charges, so that you can take a little of these dozens of boxes of objects and put them in your own house." ”

These objects are registered in the Ministry of Rites, and if they are taken out and sold, they cannot be sold, but if they are placed in their own room as ornaments, who can know?

Fan Chiwu's greed and ambition are almost written on his face, who can't see it?

"You spew blood, in front of Your Majesty, you dare to slander me!" Fan Chiwu said with a look of shame, knelt down towards the emperor, and shouted, "Your Majesty, you have to be the master of the ministers!" ”

The Emperor had come to listen today, and he had no intention of interfering from beginning to end.

He really saw that the Yang family was unhappy, and he also intended to suppress it, but the Yang family has always won the hearts of the people, and he didn't want to be this executioner.

That's why the case was handed over to the king of Zhenbei for trial.

"If Lord Fan has a clear conscience, there is no need to be in a hurry to shout grievances now, I heard that my father and son eat, drink and have fun every day in Yao County, and don't do business, I also have something I want to show to the prince, I don't know where all these disaster relief funds have gone."

Yang Hong said, shouting at the crowd: "It's your turn to appear, if you don't show up, my father and I will be killed by people with red mouths and white teeth." ”

As his voice fell, the crowd immediately split up, and then, a figure strode towards the inner hall.

In his hand, he also carried a person.
