"What? Two hundred thousand taels? What did I say? Kang Yingyuan couldn't believe his ears, but Kang Shiyuan swore by the side, looking undoubted, maybe he drank too much wine yesterday and said such nonsense.

"Hey, drinking is wrong, drinking is wrong! You can't drink anymore. ”

Kang Shiyuan looked at his eldest brother like an ant on a hot pot, and persuaded on the side: "Big brother, 200,000 taels is 200,000 taels, now that you have praised Haikou, can you still not give it?" That's a crime of deception! ”

"Yes, but this is 200,000 taels, no, hum, how can this be reasonable, this is obviously a bureau, I said why the emperor was so kind to invite us to drink, so it was, everyone was drunk at the time, no one knows what's going on! The dignified Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, how could he be such a market method? Kang Yingyuan couldn't figure it out, it was impossible for Emperor Chongzhen to think of this kind of market routine, this was simply too scoundrel.

Kang Shiyuan suddenly woke up like a dream and said, "Big brother, didn't you say that this wine was given by Qin Yiming?" You are all attracted by this wine to cause you to get drunk, I think this matter is led by the surname Qin, it must be his conspiracy! ”

"Yes, that's it, it's definitely so!" Kang Yingyuan seemed to have figured it out, Chongzhen definitely couldn't think of this kind of bad move, this Qin Wufu was very likely.

"But it's too far-fetched, Qin Yiming, a new champion of science and martial arts, how can he influence the emperor?" Kang Yingyuan denied his judgment again.

But even if it was designed by Qin Yiming, so what? If they give money, they will lose a lot, and if they don't give it, it's also a crime of bullying the king, but it's not a joke, it's a lot of people.

"So what are we going to do?"

Kang Yingyuan calmed down at this time, he seemed to have figured out something, with a smile on his face, and said: "Hehe, don't be afraid, there were as many as forty-three people who were invited to the banquet that day, and everyone claimed a certain amount of money, those adults are the masters of a dime, as the saying goes, the law does not blame the public, if everyone comes out to resist the donation together, can the emperor still punish all of us?" ”

"That's right, although we are lowly businessmen, but they are all official masters, what kind of first assistant, Shangshu, scholar and a bunch of people, and that Huang Daozhou, who is still the prince's teacher!" Kang Shiyuan also woke up, they are small people, and there are people above when the sky falls, they can't be so anxious.

"Haha, Qin Yiming, that bastard, wants to trap our Kang family, no way!"

connected to this joint, Kang Yingyuan behaved as steady as Mount Tai again, looking like the head of the family's city, laughing wildly.

This incident not only happened in the Kang family, among those Chinese and foreign officials in the DPRK, there were also many people who scolded Qin Yiming, although no one thought that Qin Yiming had such a great energy and could influence Chongzhen, but they also had to be angry with Qin Yiming, and they quickly communicated with each other, they were clearly calculated, they resolutely refused to admit this account, everyone made an appointment with each other, no one recognized it, and everyone cried poverty in unison.

On the morning of the third day, Chongzhen went to the court, today he is ready to collect everyone's money, this plan is indeed planned by Qin Yiming, the day before the competition, Chongzhen let Qin Yiming enter the palace, just to ask Qin Yiming if he has any ideas to help him get a vote of silver, so that he can make up some military expenses and eliminate Zhang Xianzhong, when Qin Yiming knew why he fell off the list, he had the heart to retaliate against the Donglin party, so he gave Chongzhen such a suggestion, Qin Yiming brought the Kang family with him, and also took revenge on the Kang family secretly, And Kang Shiyuan does owe himself a lot of silver. Of course, Chongzhen also knew very well in his heart that this was Qin Yiming's revenge on them, but as long as he could raise silver, Chongzhen was happy to be used as a gunman, because now Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai were running around Jianghuai, he had to suppress bandits, which required a lot of silver!

"If you have a book, please play, but if you don't have a book, you will retreat!" Wang Chengen shouted.

Chongzhen stared at everyone, waiting for the first person to present the silver ticket, but he waited for a long time, there was no movement in the court, and these people talked endlessly on weekdays, but today they didn't say a word, and no one stood up to present the silver ticket.

Chongzhen slowly began to get angry, he glanced at Wang Chengen, Wang Chengen was also embarrassed, but he still opened his mouth and said: "Lord Wang, at the banquet the day before yesterday, you said that the imperial court's finances were surprised, Taicang was empty, you voluntarily offered 30,000 taels of silver, have you brought the silver taels today?" ”

Wang Yongguang immediately came out and knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, drinking and making mistakes, the sinner deserves to die, the sinner deserves to die!" ”

Chongzhen looked unhappy and asked, "What are you guilty of?" ”

"Your Majesty, Wechen has been an official for decades, his sleeves are clean, and the insiders are not good at management, there are only five hundred taels in Wechen's house, all here, Wechen has committed the crime of bullying the monarch after drinking, Wechen should die, the emperor forgives the sin!" While Wang Yongguang was crying poor, he took out a silver ticket of 500 taels from his wide sleeve.

Chongzhen was very angry, what does this mean? Am I a beggar? He was about to go berserk.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are also guilty!" Shoufu Zhang Zhifa said.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is guilty!" Li Jiantai is also listed.

One after another, all the ministers in the court said that they were guilty, and Chongzhen, who was about to be furious, suppressed the anger in his heart, and dragged his dragon robe with his hands, and the high-sounding dragon robe cuffs accidentally revealed the cloth underwear that had been sewn.

"You're all two-sleeved?"

He was completely angry, but he couldn't burst out, he laughed, with desolation!

These courtiers at the moment, they recognize themselves as the emperor, but they always act against the yang and the yin, Chongzhen is very helpless and sad, he doesn't know what the problem is.

"Retreat!" Chongzhen suddenly shouted, and he walked out angrily.

Watching Chongzhen leave the court angrily, everyone in the court showed the posture of a victor one by one, they smiled at each other, touched their beards, quite proud, of course, there are also people with heavy faces, such as Liu Yuliang and others.

On the second day, Du Xun took Jinyiwei out, targeting Kang's family, on charges of bribing officials. Jinyiwei has the evidence of their Kang family's bribery of the martial arts examiner, they paid for Qin Yiming's failure, the chief examiner Ni Yuanlu has been arrested, and he has confessed in Jinyiwei's prison, and now the Kang family is left.

When the Jinyi guard surrounded the Kang family's Jingshi Yinhao, Kang Yingyuan was still shouting there, and when he saw Qin Yiming beside Du Xun, he scolded even more.

"Shameless villain, you can't die well! Hmph, do you think you can touch me? Our Kang family has been rooted in Beijing for many years, you can't touch me, you can't move me! "Kang Yingyuan knows Qin Yiming, but he doesn't know Du Xun, this is a celebrity in the palace, and he may not take ordinary second-class officials seriously, where can he tolerate a pariah shouting and abusing in front of him.

"Hehe, it's the first time that the mourning family has encountered someone so arrogant in front of the mourning family, come here, first slap fifty mouths, and then put them in the Jinyi Wei prison." Du Xun commanded.

Soon, Kang Yingyuan screamed again and again, making Kang Shiyuan tremble, although he also hated Qin Yiming, but he did not have the backbone of his brother, he was a person who knew the times, and now it was obvious that Qin Yiming was strong, and with the support of the emperor, he would not be like his brother, stupid and hard.

"Du's father-in-law, Lord Qin, my brother, phew, the traitor Kang Yingyuan is the owner of the silver number, I'm just a guy here, it has nothing to do with me, right?! The 50,000 taels of silver tickets were given by Kang Yingyuan, and they have nothing to do with me, and I also persuaded him not to interfere in the scientific examination, but he just didn't listen to me! ”

Qin Yiming looked at Kang Shiyuan playfully, this person is obviously a chameleon, cowardly as a mouse, the biggest advantage is that he betrayed his relatives, he sold his father and his brother, but he didn't have a little psychological burden. This is not the most hateful thing about him, the most hateful thing about him is that he dares to cross the river and tear down the bridge, and he does not pay off his debts, which is unbearable!

Qin Yiming stepped forward and said sternly: "Kang Shiyuan, the official word is two, do you think that if you say these two words, Gonggong Du will believe you?" What proof do you have of your innocence? ”

Qin Yiming's words don't make sense, it should be Jinyiwei who came up with evidence to prove Kang Shiyuan's guilt, not Kang Shiyuan's guilt.

"I'm ......" Kang Shiyuan was already trembling, and he was so frightened by Qin Yiming that he couldn't speak at this time, how did he know how to prove his innocence? What can be used to prove innocence?

"However, if you can hand over one thing, I will let Gonggong Du release you!" When Qin Yiming was desperate for Kang Shiyuan, he gave him a glimmer of hope.

"What's it, please tell me, my lord, as long as the kid can do it...... No, as long as the adults say it, the kid will do it! Kang Shiyuan was extremely frightened, and said resignedly.

"Hmph, you'll be able to do it! Just take out the ledger and you're done! The name of your Kang family Jingshi silver is so loud, those adults have saved a lot of money in your place, these are what you told me yourself, take out the stubs and account books of these dignitaries and nobles who have saved money here with you, and you will be fine, otherwise, you will be in a different place in the near future! "Qin Yiming** began to threaten naked, the legend is that this Kang family, and later pit Li Zicheng tens of millions of taels of silver, Li Zicheng deposited silver in the Kang family, and after the defeat and death, this huge amount of money will belong to the Kang family, and I don't know if it's true or not, but this Kang family's silver vault must have a lot of silver.

Kang Shiyuan hesitated, if they really took out those things, then their Jingshi Silver Number would be completely finished, and the reputation of the entire Kang family would also be greatly damaged.

"To take it or not to take it?" Du Xun shouted loudly.

Kang Shiyuan was so frightened that he was really afraid that these brocade guards would be unhappy and chop him up.

"Take it, I'll go find the key!"

"Also, when will you pay me the money you owe?"

"Pay it back now, pay it back now!"
