Chapter 423: Tracking down the Liu family
Xiao Yechen was furious, pacing back and forth in the imperial study, and there was a burst of anger, these tens of millions of taels of silver, I don't know how many people's fat and people's ointment the Liu family has looted!
"Your Majesty, this Liu family must be severely punished!" An Mingxun was also extremely angry, as a general, he knew that these people's money was not easy to come by, and what is the difference between the Liu family's behavior and taking people's lives?
"I know that, it's just ......"
Xiao Yechen was unwilling to let Liu Yuan go easily, the Liu family was still like this, and I don't know if other families were the same.
As his pillow person, Du Yan quickly knew his thoughts, and now looked at An Mingxun and said: "Brother Mingxun, the Liu family dares to do this, it must be because there are not a few people who do this in this capital!" β
"There are many families in Beijing, they are greedy for pleasure, live a luxurious life, and they beheaded the Cheng family at the beginning, do you remember? The gold on that wall is not fake, the Cheng family, the Yuan family, the Chen family, and now there is a Liu family, these families are enough to prove that none of these families are innocent! β
Du Yan's words woke up the person in the dream, An Mingxun's face became extremely ugly at this moment, he looked at Du Yan after half a ring, and said in a trembling voice: "Sister Yan'er, you mean ......"
"These families have been entrenched for many years, if they don't loot the people's fat and people's ointment, where will they get the silver to enjoy themselves? Of course, this Liu Yuan has to be arrested, but he can't be solved so easily! β
"That's what Yan'er said." Xiao Yechen opened his mouth and said, "The Liu family can't be spared, otherwise, those families will be more and more arrogant in the future!" β
Xiao Yechen's eyes were as deep as night, and his tone was cold: "Ming Xun, this matter has to be handed over to you." β
"The emperor means ......"
"Now the power of the family is still extensive, if you want to use these cold doors to contain them, you must make the cold doors powerful, so that this matter, let those newly appointed officials do it, it is the best, I vaguely remember that there is a young secretary of Dali Temple, who was selected last time, and handed over this matter to him to investigate."
"I see!"
When An Mingxun heard this, he was puzzled at first, but now he immediately reacted, he nodded, and said, "I still have a proposal." β
"It's better to report Liu Yuan in the court tomorrow, so that those families will definitely know why Liu Yuan was arrested. I am representing your will, and in this way, my report proves that the emperor has been paying attention to them. β
"That's good." Xiao Yechen glanced at An Mingxun appreciatively, but he didn't expect An Mingxun to be able to say such an opinion, so he immediately responded: "As soon as the Liu family falls, these family members are in danger, who dares to go against me like him?" As long as this matter can be resolved, my trip to Jiangnan with Yan'er can be a lot more relaxed. β
After Du Yan heard Xiao Yechen's words, the original pair of shining eyes changed at this moment, lifeless, without any of the vitality they had before.
As soon as Xiao Yechen saw Du Yan's appearance, he knew that he had said the wrong thing, but now he could only whisper:
"Yan'er, you go to Jiangnan with me, there is a famous doctor who will definitely cure you."
"Okay."
Just under Xiao Yechen's expectant gaze, Du Yan nodded and gently responded to the matter.
After An Mingxun saw the appearance of the two, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
On the second day of the court, Liu Yuan was trembling and didn't dare to say a word, but suddenly heard the leader of the military attachΓ©s on the side call his name.
"Lord Liu."
"Ann...... General Ann! β
Liu Yuan knew the relationship between An Mingxun and Du Yan, and only thought that An Mingxun was here to settle accounts with him, and his heart suddenly rose, these generals' methods were very rude, they never wanted to reason with the civil officials, and waved their hands to beat people if they didn't agree.
Therefore, he looked at An Mingxun, and his heart was raised at this moment.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something important to do!"
However, after An Mingxun cast a smiling look, he turned his head and said loudly to Xiao Yechen.
As soon as he heard this, Liu Yuan's heart was raised, and he subconsciously looked at An Mingxun.
I saw An Mingxun at this moment, saying word by word: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to report Liu Yuan, the secretary of the ministry!" He connived at the people of the Liu family to oppress the people and loot the people's fat and ointment from the people, and after the minister's investigation, he found that in Lord Liu's mansion, even if it was a servant, he was dressed in silk and satin, not to mention that Lord Liu's middle coat was made of cloud brocade worth thousands of gold! β
An Mingxun's voice was so loud that almost everyone in the court heard it, some old ministers had flickering eyes, while some new ministers felt that they had seized the opportunity.
"General An, don't talk nonsense!"
Liu Yuan looked at everyone with either schadenfreude or pity, his face was pale, he stood in two strands, his back was soaked in cold sweat, but in the face of such a scene, he could only grit his teeth and refuse to admit it.
If he doesn't admit it, maybe Dali Siqing will be able to accommodate one or two for the sake of the same family, but if he admits it, then the entire Liu family will no longer have a chance to turn over!
So Liu Yuan just gritted his teeth and didn't admit that he had done it.
Xiao Yechen sat on the dragon chair, the beads on his forehead covered all the expressions on his face, but Liu Yuan felt that his heart was hanging, and he stood trembling in place, not daring to speak at all.
But An Mingxun didn't care about this, he stepped forward and said to Xiao Yechen: "If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can go to Liu's mansion to check and find out if what the minister said is true." β
After finishing speaking, he looked at Liu Yuan, and his words were full of sarcasm: "In the early years, I always heard that in the early years, the Qing prefect's mansion was three years, and there were 100,000 snowflakes of silver, and I don't know how much money Master Liu has accumulated in this family for so long?" I'm afraid that there will be tens of millions of taels of silver, right? β
Liu Yuan's already pale face turned a little paler after hearing this, he trembled twice, and in the face of such accusations, his heart was extremely weak.
At the same time, he was also a little shocked, because An Mingxun said no more and no less, it was the approximate amount of his family's savings, why did he know so much about it?
Could it be......
Liu Yuan had a lot of guesses at this critical moment, but he could only tremble and look up at Xiao Yechen.
But now Xiao Yechen's expression was all covered, and he could only see the face looming under the beads, but when he was thinking about how he was going to live, he still knelt down.
"Your Majesty! Please also ask the emperor to see it! Over the years, the minister is extravagant and wasteful, all available is the savings of the ancestors in the family, if there is a mistake in doing this, the minister will be diligent and thrifty in the future, and will never be so extravagant again! β
"Lord Liu, is there so much savings in the original mansion?"
"What does this have to do with General An?"
Liu Yuan's face turned red, he looked at An Mingxun angrily, his eyes were full of anger, at this moment, he wanted to break An Mingxun's body into thousands of pieces, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart!
"Lord Liu, the Qing is self-purifying, if you are really innocent, I don't mind letting Dali Temple investigate this matter."
