Three days later, the Guangdong Governor Yamen had become the scene of the case handling by the Inspectorate and Jinyiwei.

In the past three days, Han Xiao and Li Guangtai were interrogated urgently, and the thirteen merchants led by Huang Jichu finally confessed to the fact that Guangdong Governor Tai En had taken bribes.

His third son, Tae-ling, also confessed to the crime committed by Tyne, but Tyne himself has never confessed.

For this situation, Li Guangtai, the minister of the imperial mission, is not easy to order, and can only wait for all the facts of the case to be sorted out before reporting to the emperor.

Just today, a brocade-clothed guard Qianhu hurriedly walked into the governor's yamen and replied to Han Xiao and Li Guangtai: "Two lords, the identity of the suspect robber in the courtyard where Tyne was holding hostages three days ago has been verified, and before that, he was a death row prisoner with a life in hand.

Tae-rung also took the initiative to confess, and before he commanded the envoy to come, Tayne had reminded him to take the descendants of the Thirteen Merchants hostage. These death row inmates were also brought out of prison by Taereung with Tyne's handwriting at that time. ”

Hearing this, Han Xiao and Li Guangtai glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise in their eyes.

The two of them never imagined that Tyne would be so bold as to release dozens of death row inmates.

At this time, the bookkeeper also came over and reported: "Two adults, the accounts have been completely counted, and the Tyne Mansion has accepted bribes from merchants of the Thirteen Banks as much as 5,237,632,28 yuan, which exactly matches the accounts of the Thirteen Banks. ”

As soon as the report was completed, another Jinyi Wei Qianhu, who was in charge of copying the Tyne Mansion, also came back to report: "Two adults, all the assets of the Tyne Mansion have been sealed. According to the statistics of the lowly office, a total of 8,129,254 taels of silver, 93,217 taels of gold, 13 shop contracts, and countless other antiques and jade artifacts were found from the Tyne Mansion. ”

Hearing this, Han Xiao and Li Guangtai glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

8,120,000 taels of silver and 93,000 taels of gold, which is almost worth a year's tax revenue of the entire Guangzhou province.

They didn't expect Tyne to be so bold.

Even Han Xiao, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, although he had handled so many corruption cases before, it was the first time he had encountered such a large amount of corruption.

After being surprised, Han Xiao hurriedly suggested to Li Guangtai: "Lord Li, now that the evidence is conclusive, even if Tai En wants to deny it, I'm afraid it won't work." Therefore, the lower official suggested that Tyne be interrogated immediately. ”

Li Guangtai thought so, and hurriedly ordered: "Come here, take Tai En to the court immediately." ”

After speaking, Li Guangtai and Han Xiao hurriedly changed into official clothes and came to the court......

"Tyne, what else do you have to say?"

Above the governor's yamen court, Han Xiao threw the evidence in front of Tyne and said.

Looking at the statistics on his family property on the paper, Tyne was a little stunned for a while, then reacted and hurriedly retorted: "Brother Li, this is impossible, impossible!" Although I have never taken care of the property myself, the approximate amount is still clear. I don't have more than one million taels of cash in my house, and there are only five shops, so how can it suddenly become more than eight million taels of silver? Thirteen shops?

No way! Impossible! Someone must have deliberately framed him! ”

Hearing this, Li Guangtai shook his head in disappointment and said, "Brother Tai, at this time, do you still want to deny it?"

You say someone framed you? But more than 8 million taels of cash, the whole Guangdong, and even the entire Great Zhou, who can take out so much cash? ”

The Great Zhou was rich, and the rich did not know how many, but the vast majority of the wealthy gentry turned cash into shops, factories or merchant ships, and only a handful of them could take out more than three million taels of silver, let alone eight million taels of silver.

Li Guangtai's words made Tyne's face look ashen when he landed, and he muttered to himself: "I'm not corrupt!" I didn't take a bribe......"

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared in Tyne's mind, and he looked at Han Xiao with hatred: "It must be you, it must be you Jinyi Wei who wants to behave in front of the emperor, so he deliberately planted it for me."

Others can't take out eight million taels of silver, but you are Jinyiwei, as long as you hide some of them every time you raid your house, it is easy to raise eight million taels of silver.

That's right, that's it! ”

Reacting to this, Tai En hurriedly looked at Li Guangtai and pleaded: "Brother Li, I want to enter Beijing, I want to see Your Majesty, and I want to tell Your Majesty about Jinyiwei's framing of me......"

Seeing that it was all at this time, Tyne even wanted to slander Jin Yiwei and Han Xiao, and Li Guangtai's heart was full of disappointment.

"Brother Tai, at this time, why do you still want to accuse Jinyiwei?

That's eight million taels of silver, eight million taels of silver that the old man personally searched out of your house under his nose.

Do you think Jinyiwei has such great ability to put eight million taels of silver into your treasury without knowing it? ”

"However, I went into the silver vault five days ago, and there were less than a million taels of silver in it!" Tyne wanted to cry without tears at this time, he never thought that it had only been a few days, why did he suddenly have so much more silver in his family?

From five days ago to three days ago, Jinyiwei raided the house, a total of two days.

But it's been two days, why is there so much extra money in the house all of a sudden?

At this time, the Jinyi Wei Qianhu on the side opened his mouth and said to Li Guangtai: "Lord Li, I was responsible for raiding the Taien Mansion before.

The silver in the treasury of Tyne's Mansion was indeed less than one million taels, and the extra gold and silver were dug up from the courtyard where the third prince Tailing lived. ”

"Taereung?" Hearing this, Li Guangtai frowned slightly, and then said: "Quickly pass Tailing over!" ”

After the half-pillar incense time, Taeling was brought over.

Looking at the Tyne father and son in the hall, Li Guangtai said: "Now that your father and son are here, if you have anything to say, let's say it in person!" ”

Seeing Tae-ling, Tay-eun hurriedly asked, "Ling'er, what do you say is going on?" How do you store so much silver in your yard? ”

Tailing said innocently: "Dad, didn't you let me bury it in my yard?" ”

"When have I ever said such a thing?" Tyne was a little desperate, he didn't expect his third son to say such a thing.

Tailing said: "Dad, have you forgotten? When you first became governor of Guangdong, you ordered your son to take care of the property in Fuzhong. At that time, you said that in order to hide people's eyes, you asked your son to keep the bribes he received first, as long as he gave you the specific accounts. ”

Jin Yi Wei Qianhu, who was in charge of raiding Tyne's mansion on the side, said to Li Guangtai and Han Xiao: "Two adults, the humble post did find the relevant accounts in Tyne's study!" ”
