Chapter 520: The money went to Shaofu
"Lord, the bank's subordinates have already found out." In the study of the Assassin's Mansion, Nie Zheng reported to Lu Bu.
"What's going on? Is it related to Heshen? Lu Bu asked.
"Yes!"
Nie Zheng clenched his fists and replied: "Every two months, the bank will settle the accounts with the household department, and deposit the bank's profits into the state treasury. Before settling the accounts, the bank will first give the money to a person named Yu Sheng, and Yu Sheng will use the money to make a lot of money and then return it. When we first checked the bank, we didn't know that there was a person for the rest of our lives, and the name of this person did not appear on the bank's accounts. In fact, all the accounts are fake. Our men followed the guards of the bank and found that they had been in contact with the same person named Yu Sheng the day before, and then the 23 million money transferred from the bank was all transported to Jingzhou overnight. Later, the rest of my life went to see Tobe Shangshu and Shen again, probably after nightfall last night. ”
"Sure enough, it's Heshen!"
Lu Bu snorted: "Arrest him immediately." There are also the gang of people in the bank, all those involved in the case will be taken down and re-handled according to law! ”
"No."
"No..."
Lu Bu thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to leave this matter to you." Or submit all the evidence to the Criminal Department, and Bao Zheng will handle it. told him that no matter who was involved in the case, no matter how many people were involved, there would be no cap, and all of them would be arrested. I want to do a model of punishing corrupt officials in Shouchun, so as to shock officials in other states and counties. ”
"Yes."
The shadow said: "My subordinates will go back, sort out all the evidence, and hand it over to Shang Shu Bao Zheng of the Criminal Department." ”
"Well, go ahead."
After Nie Zheng left.
Lu Bu was silent for a while...
He Shen was summoned by him. Although he has a strong ability to do things, he also has contributions, and he keeps the household department in good order, but corruption cannot be forgiven. That's more hateful than the enemy!
The enemy is a battle with open swords and guns, and it is a battle that can be seen.
And embezzlement is carried out in secret, and without realizing it, it will empty the treasury and cause huge losses to the state and the army.
If someone is found to be corrupt, it will not be punished. There will be more and more corrupt people, and eventually they will slowly gnaw away like ants eating elephants.
It is necessary to know that many dynasties are slowly declining because of corrupt officials.
Lu Bu would never allow such a problem to arise under his own governance.
If there is a corrupt official, no matter how much he embezzles, no matter how high his position is, he must be killed!
..................
Two days later.
The shadow commander made Nie Zheng hand over all the evidence that had been sorted out to Shang Shu Bao Zheng of the Criminal Department.
Bao Zheng was shocked!
He didn't expect that Hebu Shangshu and Shen would commit such a big case. I didn't expect that Huainan Bank would dare to give tens of millions of money to He Shen's subordinates and go to other states and counties to seek benefits.
How big of a case does this have to be?
Without saying a word, Bao Zheng sent people to the household department and the bank to arrest all the people who committed the crime. And because most of the bank's top management were arrested, they were temporarily closed for two days, and people from other states and counties transferred from the bank came to take up their posts.
The president of the bank, the person in charge of the accounts, the person who issued the accounts, the person in charge of the supervision, the head of the household department and Shen, and the two waiters were all arrested and sent to the prison of the criminal department.
Bao Zheng interrogated overnight...
The methods of the criminal department, that is terrifying.
Tiger chairs, finger pinching, leather whips, needle, fires...
Who can bear it? In addition, these people have already committed crimes, and they have all been recruited. He Shen was the most afraid of death, and before he started to torture, he told his own affairs cleanly.
But he asked to see Lu Bu!
"You are now a prisoner, what qualifications do you have to see the lord? The Lord has all the opportunities, can I see you? "Bao Zheng is responsible for personally hearing He Shen. After talking to Shen about what he had committed, he asked to see Lu Bu, but Bao Zheng refused without hesitation.
"Master Bao, we have been officials in the same dynasty for many years, are you so ruthless?"
"In the past, he was an official in the same dynasty, but he will not be in the future."
"Not necessarily."
He Shen's eyes rolled, and he put on a smile again, and said, "You let me see the lord, how about I tell you a big case?" ”
"Big case? What a big case? ”
"You let me see my lord first."
"As I said, you are not qualified to see the lord now. See these torture instruments? Are you going to try them all? Or do you say it happily? Or do you want me to check it out? If I find out, you'll be guilty. ”
He Shen said: "I just want to see the lord, and when I see the lord, I will say anything..." ”
Back and forth, just this sentence.
Bao Zheng hesitated for a while and said, "You wait..." ”
He still went to the Assassin's Mansion and told Lu Bu about He Shen's request to meet.
Lu Bu is also curious, they are all dying, what else is there to say? Want to intercede for yourself?
"Lead the way."
Lu Bu went to the Criminal Department with Bao Zheng.
In the cell of the Criminal Department, I met He Shen.
Lu Bu lifted his robe, sat down on the seat of the trial, and said, "Heshen, I heard that you want to see me?" If you have anything to say, just say it. I'll say hi to you first. The law is inviolable, and if you break the law, no one can save you, not even me! ”
"Lord, lord... How dare the minister intercede for himself? Just wanted to tell the truth. He Shen said pitifully.
"The truth? What's the truth? ”
He Shen glanced at Bao Zheng, meaning to let Bao Zheng leave the cell.
"You go out first."
"Yes..."
Although Bao Zheng was very reluctant, he still withdrew.
Lu Bu said: "Now there are only two of us in this cell, you can say anything you want." ”
"The lord only knows that the minister used the relationship of the bank to make a lot of money, but does the lord know where the money he earned went?" He Shen said in a low tone.
"Where did you go?"
Lu Bu asked.
He Shen said: "The minister divides the money he earns into ten. One percent of them was given to the bankers, one percent was given to the minister's subordinates, and one percent was given to myself. And seventy percent... Deposited in Shaofu. ”
(Note: He Shen is in charge of the household department and the Shaofu.) The household department is the treasury, and the Shaofu is Lu Bu's private wallet. )
"What? You mean... More than half of the money was given to me?! ”
Lu Bu's mouth opened wide in surprise.
According to his understanding of He Shen, shouldn't he be insatiable, and he actually deposited almost all the money he earned into Shaofu.
"All these things that the minister said are accounts to be checked. All the money in Shaofu can also be verified. In addition, Mrs. Pan was also involved in this case. In the past year, she would withdraw 10 million money from Huainan Bank every other month, and repay it the following month. He Shen said.
"You..."
Lu Bu was shocked again, and even his wife Pan Jinlian became a person involved in the case. If there is no cap, even he himself is unforgivable, because he is the biggest beneficiary.
Seventy percent of the money he earned went into his own pocket.
