On this day, the entire county seat of Ba County was a sensation, and the female general Qin Liangyu led the white pole soldiers to search for more than one million taels of silver and dozens of boxes of other gold jewelry in the mansion of the squire Wang Yingxi.

Qin Liangyu didn't know where to call more than 200 carriages, pulling the gold and silver treasures to the direction of the stone pillar, the gold and jewelry were okay, there were boxes, but the white silver was piled up directly on the cart, one cart after another, so that people's eyes were dizzy, and it was the first time for the people of Ba County to see so much silver, it was really a feast for the eyes.

Chongqing prefect Chen Yaoyan learned the news, and he had the heart to hang himself, Wang Yingxiong asked people to pass him a few secret letters during this time, asking him to resist it, don't admit anything, don't say anything, and it will be fine after this time, as a result, his own hometown has been copied by someone, and he is a fart, it's all over!

He didn't even feel the mood to write a secret letter to tell Wang Yingxiong, he knew that Wang Yingxiong would definitely be finished, and he himself would be finished.

However, he still had luck and wanted to fight for leniency, because Wang Yingxiong was the main culprit, he was just acting on orders, and even Wang Yingxi was calling him around, if he could prove this, maybe it would be a dismissal and a reduction in his status, and he would never be hired, anyway, he had made more than 100,000 taels in the past few years, which was enough for his own life.

So, he immediately arranged for his cronies to start transferring the dirty silver, and wrote a letter to expose Wang Yingxiong's abuse of power, bending the law for personal gain, and coercing him to help his brother Wang Yingxi collect money like crazy, and picked a few secret letters from Wang Yingxiong ordering him to do this and that, together with the song, let the post station be sent to the capital for 800 miles urgently, and send it directly to the Metropolitan Procuratorate instead of the cabinet, he understands that Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet, is Wang Yingxiong's backer, if the note he wrote is seen by Wen Tiren, he will definitely die a worse death!

He didn't dare to sue Wen Tiren together, so he could only send the fold and the secret letter to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he knew that Huang Chenghao and Wang Yingxiong, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, were mortal enemies, and he sent these to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Huang Chenghao would definitely transfer them to the emperor without hesitation.

Wang Yingxiong didn't know that he was about to come to a catastrophe, the emperor hadn't looked for him for so many days, and he hadn't ordered Wang Weizhang and Chen Yaoyan to be arrested, he thought it was okay.

Chongzhen was indeed fooled by him, the problem is that he is not the only one in this world who will fool people, like those pedantic nerds of the Donglin Party will not fool Chongzhen, so they can't fight these eunuch remnants, Zhang Bin and Huang Chenghao are not so stupid, flicker, everyone flicker, anyway, the fact that they are corrupt and pervert the law is there, as long as the flickering Chongzhen is determined to check them, they will be finished.

Chongzhen's face turned green when he received Wang Chengen's 800-mile urgent report, silver alone was more than 1.6 million taels, dozens of boxes of other gold jewelry, and hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land.

Before he could figure out how to clean up Wang Yingxiong, Huang Chenghao suddenly ran over with a letter and a few secret letters, Chongzhen opened it and took a look, and immediately slapped the table and said angrily: "This dog thing, how dare you deceive me like this, and say that he did not interfere in the appointment and dismissal of the Chongqing prefect, and said that he wanted to avoid suspicion and come to someone!" ”

Cao Huachun entered in response and respectfully bowed his hand and said, "Weichen is here." ”

Chongzhen shouted angrily directly: "Go, let Wang Yingxiong roll over this dog thing!" ”

Originally, he should have conveyed Chongzhen's will, on behalf of Chongzhen, to scold Wang Yingxiong, let him roll over, and even take a few people to escort Wang Yingxiong over like a prisoner, but he didn't do it, he just asked Fang Zhenghua to guard outside for him, and then ran to the cabinet duty room in person, and said to Wang Yingxiong with an expressionless face: "Lord Wang, the emperor asked you to go over immediately." ”

Wang Yingxiong panicked in his heart, the emperor suddenly looked for him, was there something wrong with him, but when he saw Cao Huachun's expression, he was puzzled again, this didn't look like something was going on, he thought about it, and hurriedly put on a kind look, and said almost like "Gonggong Cao, what is the emperor looking for me?" ”

Cao Huachun glanced at him lightly and didn't say a word, which seemed to be asking Wang Yingxiong, am I very familiar with you?

Wang Yingxiong was so annoyed in his heart, but he didn't dare to attack Cao Huachun, this, but the big red man in front of the emperor provoked him, and he definitely didn't have good fruit to eat, so he could only laugh, made a gesture of please, and then followed Cao Huachun slowly towards the imperial study.

Along the way, Wang Yingxiong tried his best to get close, wanting to know what the emperor was looking for him, but Cao Huachun just didn't say a word, like a dumb person.

Of course, Cao Huachun will not reveal any news, if Wang Yingxiong Tan hears the news, this guy will definitely be crazy in his mind thinking about how to fool the emperor, he just wants this guy to accept the emperor's thunderous anger inexplicably.

Wang Yingxiong was a little angry by his attitude, his celebrant Bingbi Dongchang Admiral is amazing, the emperor doesn't give you the right to wear red, you are just a miscellaneous piece of the fifth grade, a bull's fart!

He just followed behind Cao Huachun, slandering all the way, not realizing that the emperor was going to clean him up.

The cabinet duty room to the Qianqing Palace is only about 300 steps, soon, the two of them came to the Qianqing Palace one after the other, as soon as they entered the imperial study, Wang Yingxiong's heart suddenly chuckled, Huang Chenghao This guy was actually there, and the emperor's face was so gloomy that it was terrible, it seemed that he was in big trouble.

He hurriedly knelt on the ground and respectfully saluted the courtesy, but unexpectedly, Chongzhen did not let him calm down as before, stood up and spoke, but said coldly: "Wang Yingxiong, you actually abused your power, promoted your cronies, and asked them to assist your younger brother in Chongqing Mansion to forcibly seize and lawless, you did a good thing!" ”

Wang Yingxiong didn't receive the news at all, because his younger brother and a group of cronies were all wiped out by Qin Liangyu, and Chen Yaoyan sold him in order to escape responsibility, so he didn't know anything about what happened in Chongqing Mansion, and he thought that it was Huang Chenghao who sued him in front of the emperor.

Holy shit, Huang Chenghao, you're not over, aren't you?

Wang Yingxiong turned his heart sideways, and took a bite back: "The emperor is aware of it, some people, for their own selfish interests, make things out of nothing, far-fetched, frame them, reverse black and white, do everything they can, and the ministers are wronged." ”

Some people, Huang Chenghao, actually showed a mysterious smile when they heard this, and stood there silently, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Today's matter really has nothing to do with him, Wang Yingxi's forcible seizure was reported by Wang Chengen, Wang Yingxiong's abuse of power was exposed by Chen Yaoyan, and Huang Chenghao just ran over and handed over a note.

Chongzhen is so annoyed, this dog thing, he still dares to quibble, he said coldly: "Something out of nothing, far-fetched? You wrote a secret letter and ordered Chen Yaoyan to do his best to help your brother take it by force, how do you explain it? Framed and reversed? Your younger brother Wang Yingxi's mansion has more than 1.6 million taels of silver, dozens of boxes of gold and jewelry, and the title deeds of hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land, how do you explain it? “

When Wang Yingxiong heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat, how did the emperor know about these things!

He could only deny it: "Your Majesty, you are wronged, these are pure nonsense!" ”

Chongzhen really wanted to smash Wang Chengen and Chen Yaoyan's performance on Wang Yingxiong's face, there were still such shameless people in the world, he held back his anger and asked Huang Chenghao on the side: "You said that he was corrupt for millions of taels, so does he also have millions of taels of silver in his house?" ”

Huang Chenghao calmly arched his hand and said: "Back to the emperor, Wang Yingxiong is greedy for pleasure, lives a luxurious life, has a group of wives and concubines, and spends extravagantly, most of his corruption income has been squandered, and Weichen estimates that there are probably no more than one million taels, and there should still be 500,000 taels." “

500,000 taels, this guy won't go into my secret room and count it, Wang Yingxiong looked at Huang Chenghao dumbfounded, and a cold sweat broke out.

Chongzhen asked, "Is there really 500,000 taels?" ”

Huang Chenghao nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes." ”

Chongzhen stared at him and said solemnly: "If you don't find out, I am the only one who asks." “

Huang Chenghao did not hesitate to arch his hand and said: "If you don't find out, Weichen will be punished by the emperor." ”

Chongzhen stared at Wang Yingxiong again, and asked coldly, "What else do you have to say?" ”

Wang Yingxiong still refused to admit it: "Your Majesty, you are wronged, Weichen has always been honest and honest, and there is no corruption." ”

You are still honest and honest, Chongzhen snorted coldly, suddenly stood up and shouted angrily: "Someone." ”

Cao Huachun entered in response and respectfully bowed his hand and said, "Weichen is here." ”

Chongzhen said sharply: "Prepare for driving, and order Luo Yangxing to wait outside the palace with two thousand brocade guards." ”

Cao Huachun took the order and left, while Chongzhen stared at Wang Yingxiong and said coldly: "I want to see how honest you are." ”

Wang Yingxiong was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and he couldn't say a word about Chongzhen's words.

After a while, Cao Huachun walked in and respectfully bowed his hand and said, "Your Majesty, everything is ready." ”

Chongzhen glanced at Wang Yingxiong in disgust, and said sharply: "Tie up this treacherous villain and escort him together." ”

After that, he raised his feet and walked out, Huang Chenghao cleverly followed, and Cao Huachun beckoned outward, ordering the two Wu eunuchs to tie up Wang Yingxiong and escort him to follow.

Shiwangfu Street is actually very close to the imperial city, out of the palace to the left turn, from Dong'an Gate out of the imperial city, go forward a hundred steps or so to arrive, however, Chongzhen did not go this way, he ordered Cao Huachun and Luo Yangxing to take the team out of the imperial city from Chengtianmen, take the East Chang'an Street, and turn a big circle.

He naturally did this for a purpose, he wanted to make an example of the chickens and monkeys, so that those corrupt officials who deceived him could see how serious the consequences of bullying the king were.

This really scared those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, because outside the Chengtian Gate is the Six Yamen and the Five Military Governor's Mansion, and there are also Hanlin Academy, Honglu Temple, Taifu Temple and other yamen on East Chang'an Street.

Of course, the street tour is not the point, the point is to raid the house!

Chongzhen saw the magnificent gate of the palace and came to the fire, this palace is even more magnificent than the ten palaces where he lived, Wang Yingxiong is so daring!

He roared directly: "Surround, go and smash the gate open." ”

It's boring or not, you just let people shout that the emperor is coming, who dares not to open the gate to greet him, and smash the door!

Luo Yangxing didn't care whether the emperor was bored or not, he directly waved his hand, and ordered a thousand brocade guards to surround Wang Yingxiong's mansion, and then came to the gate with hundreds of brocade guards, and really smashed the door.

The gate of the palace is two zhang wide, and the bolt behind the door is thigh-thick, and it is impossible for him to "smash" open it without lifting a large tree trunk a few feet thick.

Luo Yangxing smashed for a while, feeling that the play was almost over, so he made a look and asked people to rush in from the side door next to him and open the door.

Chongzhen is not an idiot, he can't smash such a big door in the way of nature, what he wants is this effect, "breaking in" can show his anger.

When he saw the door open, he immediately ordered the dragon chariot to be carried inside, and he wanted to see how luxurious it was.

When he entered the door, he saw that the carved beams and paintings were extremely luxurious, Chongzhen glared fiercely at Wang Yingxiong, who was colorless on the side, and then shouted: "Copy!" ”

Luo Yangxing waved his hand, hundreds of wolf-like brocade guards immediately rushed in from the front yard square, and copied room by room, all the family guards, maids and old mothers, including Wang Yingxiong's wives and concubines, were all escorted to the front yard square, and they knelt in front of the dragon chariot in rows, and all valuable things were also searched out, and they were all placed in the front yard square.

Good guy, this Wang Yingxiong has many wives and concubines, and there are hundreds of people in the family's nursing home and maids' old mothers, and these people alone are not what he can raise, and he also said that he is honest and honest, which is simply shameless!

Luo Yangxing didn't know if he ate too much or what's wrong, every time his subordinates brought out something of value, he had to introduce it to Chongzhen, as if he was afraid that Chongzhen wouldn't know.

"Your Majesty, this set of tables and chairs is made of pineapple wood, and it is worth hundreds of taels."

"Your Majesty, this wardrobe is made of mahogany, and it is worth hundreds of taels."

"Your Majesty, the coffee table and the chair with a back are worth thousands of taels of ebony, oops, no, there are still luodian on it, I'm afraid it won't be thousands of taels!"

Chongzhen listened for a while with a gloomy face, and suddenly said, "What about the hundreds of thousands of taels of dirty silver?" ”

At this time, the gold, silver and jewelry copied out are worth tens of thousands of taels of silver at most, which is far from hundreds of thousands of taels, and Chongzhen is also impatient, so he has this question.

When Luo Yangxing heard this, he asked Wang Yingxiong with a false meaning: "Lord Wang, where did you hide the dirty silver?" ”

Wang Yingxiong can say that he just came to the ghost, he is finished anyway at this time, didn't Huang Chenghao say that he couldn't find hundreds of thousands of taels for the emperor to dispose of, okay, I won't say it, you bastard, follow me to be unlucky, see what the emperor does with you.

Luo Yangxing actually knew where the secret room was for a long time, and when he saw that Wang Yingxiong didn't speak, he couldn't help but sneer: "Do you think I won't be able to find it if you don't say it, come on, guy!" ”

Under his order, hundreds of brocade guards came over neatly with a sledgehammer and stood there respectfully, waiting for him to give the order.

What does this mean?

Chongzhen couldn't help but look at Luo Yangxing suspiciously, taking a sledgehammer to find silver, he really hadn't seen it.

Luo Yangxing hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, all the rooms have been searched and no dirty silver has been found, this guy must have built a secret room, and this sledgehammer is used to find a secret room." ”

He couldn't take someone directly to the rockery in the back garden to open the secret room, so there was no way to explain it, because Chongzhen didn't let him secretly spy on the ministers of the court, let alone let him secretly go to someone's secret room, so he could only pretend to be in front of Chongzhen.

How to find the secret room with this sledgehammer, in fact, it is very simple, Luo Yangxing waved his hand, and those brocade guards with sledgehammers spread out, holding sledgehammers on the ground, gently tapping on the wall, once they found that the sound was wrong, pick up the sledgehammer is a moment, not to mention the secret room, even if there is a pit under the stone slab on the ground, they can find out!

Hundreds of brocade guards were found in this mansion, and it was Luo Yang's cronies who were in charge of the back garden, and he pretended to take people to knock around for a while, and then ran to the rockery, picked up a sledgehammer, and hammered down a stone slab in the corner, with a loud "poof" sound, the slate shattered, and a black hole was revealed, and the secret room was finally "found".

Wang Yingxiong looked at the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry that were brought over, and couldn't help but collapse on the ground, it's over, it's all over, embezzling hundreds of thousands of taels, he doesn't know how big a crime it is!
