Chapter 59: The Three Clans (I)
With a burst of curses and wails, Chen Hao was dragged out of the mansion by the Black Feather Army and escorted to the execution ground. On the other hand, Tian Shaotu, who had never shown up, walked out of the side of the hall and went to Yu Wenxuan, who had previously assigned the task that Zhang Shaohua was responsible for reviewing government affairs, Tian Shaotu was reviewing finances, and then he would personally review the verdict by summarizing the information.
"Lord Qiqi." On such a solemn occasion, even Tian Shaotu also used honorifics, "More than 4,000 taels of silver, more than 100 pieces of fine silk, more than 100 pieces of porcelain, 1,000 acres of houses and land, and some undestroyed correspondence, but unfortunately the name of the correspondent was erased, but judging from the content of the letter, the other party should be an official in the capital...... "Tian Shaotu reported the search results one by one, and saw Yu Wenxuan sitting on the chair clenching his fists, and before Tian Shaotu could finish speaking, he smashed the table in front of him with one palm.
"Wow! A small four-grade foreign official's house actually has more than 4,000 taels of silver! Yu Wenxuan stood up, as if there was immediately an invisible momentum pressing towards Chen Tao, like an ancient flood and a bloody wind, it was the murderous and sharp aura that had been honed on the battlefield for so many years.
You must know that the four-grade foreign officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty only have five taels of silver per month, and only sixty taels a year, so the comparison can be similar to how amazing and terrifying the amount of property found from the Chen Mansion is. Because of this, Yu Wenxuan was so angry, and even Zhang Shaohua and Tian Shaotu, who were most familiar with him, were seeing him for the first time.
Fang Caitian's young disciple's words were like spears and sharp swords, and they were deeply rooted in Yu Wenxuan's heart. That's all the blood and sweat of the people!
"Chen Tao, let's talk about it, where did so much money come from? Who are you communicating with? He guaranteed you this position? How much money did you stuff him? Yu Wenxuan asked. However, Chen Tao glanced at Yu Wenxuan, then lowered his head again and said nothing. "Tell me, your son deserves to be punished for his iniquity, and this king has shown him the greatest mercy by giving him a good time." Yu Wenxuan continued, "Don't be ignorant. ”
Chen Tao remained silent.
"Chen Tao, up to now, you are still an official of the imperial court, think about what you have done, are you worthy of the imperial court and the people? Aren't you afraid of endangering your family? Yu Wenxuan said excitedly.
"I, I can't say it, and if I say it, it will also affect my family......" Chen Tao choked up.
"The money and things that have been found out of your house have been convicted of accepting bribes. If you are honest, I can consider mitigating your guilt, for you know better than me how important honor is. Yu Wenxuan said. He is bound to find out the people behind Chen Tao, who dare to take bribes today to form a party for personal gain, and tomorrow he dares to disturb the dynasty and disturb the monarch's heart, which is absolutely unacceptable.
After waiting for a long time, Chen Tao still didn't speak.
"That's it, who is the person who took the bribe, this Wang Rong will check later, if you don't say it, don't say it for the rest of your life." Yu Wenxuan sighed, and then said loudly, "Suzhou assassinated Chen Tao, there is no way to teach his son, and his son is murderous; improper governance and oppression of the people; Forming a party for personal gain and shielding accomplices. According to the law of the Great Zhou, the three clans should be punished! The rest of the matters will be tried again tomorrow, and the king promises that he will not spare any of those who are guilty. This atmosphere in Suzhou, I want to rectify it! ”
Yu Wenxuan's order echoed around the hall, and the two Black Feather Army soldiers who were standing behind Chen Tao before reached out to support his arms and turned to leave.
The faces of the people outside the house and other officials in Suzhou were complicated, there were joys and worries, but more of them were relieved by the verdict made by Yu Wenxuan, and some even shouted in a low voice, and when the first person cheered, the people next to them were like dry firewood ignited by sparks, and they were boiled in an instant.
