Chapter 628: The Mansion Fights Wisely
"Catch the big fish, the latest chapter of the Iron Warrior Soul!" Song Zheng's personal guard Xiao Qi ran into the Fuzhou Mansion in a hurry and put two pieces of silver in front of Song Zheng.
This is the fourth day that Song Zheng and others returned to Linchuan, and after learning that Cai Yong and others had completed the layout, Liu Mao invited Lin Han to the Fuzhou Mansion in the name of making an appointment on business. Taking advantage of Lin Han's unpreparedness, Song Zheng revealed his identity and controlled the government office. And in the name of the Criminal Department, the official treasury and official warehouse of Fuzhou were sealed.
"Lord Lin, can you tell me, what's going on?" Song Zheng smiled and took two pieces of silver and shook it at Lin Han, who was forced to calm down.
Lin Han snorted lightly, "Lord Song, what I want to know is the silver in the treasury, can it match the amount?" ”
Song Zheng looked at Xiao Mi, and Xiao Mi shook his head embarrassedly, "I don't know, as soon as I saw that there was only a small amount of official silver in it, and the rest were all privately minted silver ingots, I took it and flew it to report to the son." ”
Song Zheng was stunned, but his face did not change, "Lord Lin, can you tell me why there is private money in the treasury?" ”
"What's so hard about that!" Lin Han snorted lightly, "After the tax comes up, this state has not had time to cast, which is at most unruly. ”
After the tax is paid, it will be minted into a uniform specification of 20 taels and one ingot, and then stored in the government treasury, and then shipped and escorted. Lin Han said this, but it makes sense.
At this moment, a criminal officer walked in and whispered two in Liu Mao's ear. Liu Mao's face changed greatly.
"What's wrong? Lord Liu!" Song Zheng asked in a low voice.
"Xiaolang, this is a big trouble, there is no shortage of silver in the treasury, and it is completely the same as in the accounts." Liu Mao said anxiously.
Song Zheng sighed in his heart, the information he got was that Lin Han had embezzled the treasury silver, but now they are not bad at all, what is going on?
Frowning slightly, Song Zheng said, "Let's wait for the news of the official warehouse." ”
Liu Mao nodded helplessly, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. If Lin Han's side didn't find out any problems, then it would be a big crime to steal the name of Zhizhou and seal the treasury without authorization.
Half an hour later, Cai Yong walked into the mansion with a gloomy face, and whispered in Song Zheng's ear, "Son, the situation is not right, there is only a shortage of more than 500 catties of corn in the official warehouse." ”
"Is there a yin and yang warehouse, an inner and outer warehouse?" Yin and Yang warehouses and internal and external warehouses are common means of cheating. The yin and yang warehouse is a grain hoard that is empty at the top and bottom, and it looks full, but in fact, only there is grain on the top, and the bottom is empty. The inner and outer warehouses are used to cheat by using the inner wall interlayer.
"No, the grain hoards are up to specification. More than 500 corn can only be regarded as rat consumption. ”
At this time, Liu Mao also came over. After hearing Cai Yong's words, he almost sat on the ground, "Xiaolang, what should I do?" ”
Before, Song Zheng said that the evidence of Lin Han's matter is conclusive, and as long as he does it, he will definitely gain something. It's good now, after such a check, Lin Han didn't have any, which made Liu Mao not shocked.
Lin Han obviously understood what was going on, and immediately laughed, and said in a weird manner, "Lord Song, Lord Liu, this mansion has always been honest and honest, and it is known as a clean name. You are so rampant in my Fuzhou, are you really easy to bully when I am a Fuzhou person? ”
Liu Mao turned around and said angrily, "Just with the crime of negligence in the Jianchang County Order, as well as the two thousand taels of silver bribed by the official, the imperial court can cure you!" ”
Lin Han pursed his lips, "Neglect? Hehe, that material is in duplicate, and it is jointly drawn by the government and Lord Liu. To tell you the truth, I have already sent the materials kept by this government to Jiangning. Presumably, my father-in-law has already got the materials now. The materials are recorded on the material, but you and I jointly won Xiang Liqiang. What's more, now that Xiang Zhixian is dead, there is no proof of his death, how can you try it again? As for the two thousand taels of silver, hehe, how do you prove that I gave you those silver tickets? ”
"You ......" Liu Mao's face turned red with anger and he couldn't speak anymore. Looking at it now, he and Song Zheng acquiesced in Xiang Liqiang's suicide, and the so-called act of confusing Lin Han has become a cocoon and self-restraint.
Lin Han was even more proud, looked at Song Zheng and sneered, "Lord Song, hehe, don't look at your right division to take down Lu Bingxuan, but in my Fuzhou, there is no evidence, what can you do to me?" ”
Song Zheng looked at him coldly, his pupils shrank, making Lin Han's heart tremble. After taking a deep breath, Lin Han changed his face and said to Liu Mao leisurely, "Lord Liu, since you and I are officials in the same dynasty, why should you not get along with this mansion?" I know that you were bewitched by the people of the Right Division, so you were forced to come to Fuzhou. As long as you can write a joint letter with this official to impeach the right division for using force and doing misdeeds, then the crime of detaining this government will have nothing to do with Lord Liu. ”
This Lin Han's brain turned quickly, and he actually wanted to take the opportunity to unite with Liu Mao and point the finger at Song Zheng.
Song Zheng looked at Liu Mao to see his reaction. I saw that Liu Mao's face changed a few times, and he glanced at Song Zheng with some weakness, but did not respond. The current situation is: if you really want to take Lin Han by force, then the materials that you did in Jianchang before will become evidence of Liu Mao's crime, and this will become the latest chapter of the immortal road quest of a fish to die and break the net.
"Ahem! Cough! Yan Guangwei, who had never spoken, said, "It's better to let me say something fair." Lord Song, Lord Liu, and Lord Lin, why don't we stop here? The matter of Jianchang, as the credit of Lord Liu and Lord Lin, no one can erase it. As for Lord Song, he should not have appeared in Fuzhou. Lord Lin, what do you think? ”
"Brother Guangwei, what do you mean?" Lin Han glared and said, "Could it be that this mansion has suffered such a big insult, so if nothing happens?" ”
Yan Guangwei hurriedly waved his hand, "Xiaguan is just such a proposal, since it is a misunderstanding, why make it so stiff?" Besides, in the popularity of Lord Song, will he deliberately embarrass Lord Lin? As he spoke, he glanced at Song Zheng again and again. In his opinion, as long as Song Zheng said a soft word to Lin Han at this time, maybe the matter would pass. With Song Zheng's reputation as both civil and military, coupled with the fact that he is quite favored by the saints, even if he returns in vain, he will not be harshly criticized.
Song Zheng glanced at the audience, Liu Mao was silent, Lin Han was proud, and Yan Guangwei looked anxious.
"Haha, Lord Lin, you must have known that this official was coming to Fuzhou? I'm really curious, I don't know when you knew, but you have been prepared for a long time. ”
Lin Han's face changed, "I don't know what you're talking about!" ”
"Don't know? Hehe, I'll let you see my Song Xiaolang's methods! Song Zheng sat in the middle of the mansion by himself, and commanded in a loud voice, "Cai Yong, Xiao Qi, go, and escort the officials who are guarding the treasury and the official warehouse." ”
"Yes!" Cai Yong and Xiao Qi turned around and went out.
"You...... Daring! Lin Han said angrily, "How qualified are you to sit in the seat of this mansion!" ”
Song Zheng glanced at Lin Han contemptuously, and turned to polish the ink by himself. Lin Han was so angry that his beard straightened, and he stepped forward to pull Song Zheng with his hands. Song Zheng waved his hand, and with a "snap", it was pumping on Lin Han's face.
At this moment, not only Lin Han himself, but even Liu Mao and Yan Guangwei were taken aback, this slap was slapped, they no longer had room to ease up with Lin Han, and Lin Han would never suffer such a big humiliation.
"Xiaolang!" Liu Mao lost his voice and rubbed his hands anxiously.
"Lord Liu, be safe!" Song Zheng didn't raise his head and wrote on the paper.
Lin Han stroked his face and sat on the ground, howling, "Murder!" Killed! Song Zheng has killed someone! ”
Yan Guangwei hurriedly went to help him, and shouted in a panic, "Lord Lin, don't shout!" Lord Lin ......"
How Lin Han listened to him, just shouted.
Song Zheng frowned, raised his hand and threw the startling wood out, right in Lin Han's head. Lin Han groaned again and crawled on the ground. When he sat up, he was about to shout, but he saw that Song Zheng was shaking with a paperweight in one hand, and immediately closed his mouth. He glared at Song Zheng viciously, his eyes were full of fire, but he didn't dare to shout anymore. The startling wood hit the door of the head, but it was only a little skin and a little blood, and if a paperweight made of stone was thrown over, it would be fatal.
Soon, Song Zheng finished writing, put down his pen, and picked up the big seal on the hall and stamped it on it. Lin Han saw that Song Zheng actually dared to touch his Zhizhou Great Seal, and immediately got up, "The surname Song, you dare to issue a notice in the name of this mansion, I ...... I'll be with you! ”
Song Zheng didn't even pay attention to him, and beckoned to Liu Mao, "Brother Liu, please find someone to post this at the door of the mansion!" ”
Liu Mao hurriedly stepped forward, took the notice, looked it up and down, and was immediately overjoyed, and greeted the officials of the Criminal Department who had long been stunned, "Quick, post this quickly." ”
The servant did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly took the notice and hurried away.
Liu Mao patted his chest, picked up the teacup from the next few cases, and drank it in one gulp. Turning to Song Zheng again, his eyes were already full of admiration.
Half an hour later, Cai Yong and Xiao Qi escorted the treasurer of the official treasury and the granary. The two treasury officials looked at Lin Han, whose head was bleeding, and they were so frightened that they were all scared, and soon confessed that the silver in the official treasury and the grain in the granary had just been transported ten days ago. At that time, Song Zheng and others had just arrived in Linchuan City.
Lin Han shouted on the side, "Song Xiaolang, so what? Now that there is no deviation between the two libraries, how can you catch me? Haha, what can you do to me! Although the words were arrogant, his body was tense, and his voice trembled.
Song Zheng shook his head, "Lord Lin, it seems that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin." Do you know what I write on the notice? ”
"Hmph, that notice is not approved by the government! I don't care what you write! ”
"Then I'll tell you!" Song Zheng said leisurely, "What is written on the notice is that anyone who borrows silver taels from the state government this month will be asked to take it back, otherwise the penalty will not be put into the warehouse!" ”
"Huh?" Lin Han was immediately stunned, and after being stunned for a moment, he spit out a mouthful of blood with a "pounce", and then, he flipped over two silvers and fainted.
It turned out that whether it was the official treasury or the official warehouse, it was indeed removed and misappropriated by Lin Han. After receiving the news that the Right Division and the Criminal Department were coming to Fuzhou, Lin Han hurriedly arranged manpower, borrowed silver taels and grain from large and wealthy households, enriched the official treasury, and collected the amount on the accounts. Due to the time constraints, the silver taels did not have time to be re-melted and cast.
Song Zheng was most worried that Lin Han might use his own money and grain to fill the lawsuit warehouse and official treasury. However, after seeing Lin Han's silver ticket bribing Liu Mao, Song Zheng was relieved. It was impossible for Lin Han to keep so much cash at home, and the only feasible way was to borrow it from Yinzhuang and various wealthy households. And the same is true on the granary, and the only way to get together the grain in the silo is to borrow it.
The notice quickly worked, and by less than a dozen wealthy families and local money bank owners had rushed to the government office, showing IOUs signed by Lin Han himself. Song Zheng immediately ordered someone to redeem the money and grain according to the IOU.
Finally, when the treasury was checked, there was a huge shortage of more than 40,000 taels of silver, which exceeded half of the amount originally ascertained by the right division. As for the granary, after paying those IOUs, only seventy-eight catties of corn remained.
