Chapter 465: Raiding the House
Chapter 465: Raiding the House
Yang Yiqing's consternation can be understood, Yang Ge Lao was an upright person before he became a cabinet member, and he likes to be ugly in everything, which is a bit of black and white. Moreover, Yang Yiqing has a very high prestige, and he has university questions in his chest, and he talks one by one.
Seeing him speak, Lu Bingxin screamed badly, he couldn't say anything about this old Yang head. If he stirs things up, it will be troublesome if this matter continues to be investigated. As a good old man, the future Lu Dugong, Sun Dan and Huang Jin are all old friends, so naturally they don't want these two good friends to die and come back to life. He felt that he had the responsibility and obligation to be a peacemaker for Sun and Huang, so naturally he would not let Yang Yiqing use the topic to play.
Lu Bing immediately interrupted Yang Yiqing's words, and said to Sun Dan with a smile: "Since Jingyuan said so, this matter is over, and I will escort a cadre back to the capital tomorrow." He "touched" his head and sighed: "The post-disaster reconstruction still needs to be done, Wang Shu's case is actually very simple, we must not listen to people who commit a 'chaotic' bite to catch the wind and catch the shadows, this is also not Your Majesty's meaning!" ”
He was originally a handsome young man, but now he sighed deeply, which seemed a little funny.
Sun Dan nodded: "That's it, it's not much fun to dig deeper into this matter." ”
Yang Yiqing was stunned, and looked at Sun Dan quietly, not understanding what kind of "medicine" was sold in Duohulu, this was not Sun Dan's "sexual" character.
Sure enough, Sun Dan still had a later word: "But it's ......"
Lu Bing grinned again and asked, "But what?" ”
Sun Dan: "However, this Wang Shu and Ganbida are greedy for ink, and all the river work silver of Suining has to be taken out." This Wang Shu has been an official in the Hecao Yamen for many years, and he doesn't know how much silver he is greedy. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, they should all come out." Yang Yiqing suddenly became excited, as a cabinet member, and will be in charge of the household department, no one knows the state of financial embarrassment better than him. Otherwise, the household department will not borrow money from the Lu family bank.
He quickly calculated in his heart that Wang Shu and Gan Bida had embezzled at least 400,000 taels in the construction of the Suining River embankment alone. Every year, the imperial court allocates so much river silver, and for more than ten years, at least one million taels have fallen into their hands.
With this sum of money, the resettlement fee for the victims will be settled, and there is no need to borrow money from the Lu family.
After copying Wang Shu and Ganbida's house, he immediately had plenty of money, so why not do it?
Yang Yiqing: "The unprecedented flood in Huainan is full of places to make money, and these two thieves were copied and used to help the victims." ”
Lu Bing also knew that this was a large sum of silver, but looking at Yang Yiqing's appearance, he waved his pen and wanted to leave all the silver in Huai'an, but he was anxious in his heart. This is a huge amount of money, it was divided like this, and when he returned to the capital in the future, the emperor was interested, and suddenly asked: "Lu Bing, I heard that you copied the homes of Wang and Gan, where is the money?" How should he, Lu Bing, answer?
This majesty is shrewd and capable, but he has an unimaginable love for yellow and white things, and it is easy to say other things, but when it comes to money, he turns his face faster than turning a book.
Lu Bing laughed: "Yang Xiang cares about the disaster victims, the duke is selfless, Lu Bing admires it, but it doesn't seem appropriate to intercept all the money in Huai'an without playing the Ming court, right?" ”
"What's wrong?" Yang Yiqing was greatly displeased, and said: "I am about to be in charge of the household department, and I am naturally in charge of the income and expenditure of the national Taicang." Even if we report to the imperial court, will the cabinet ministers not see the big water in Huainan, and they must also allocate the money, otherwise it will be impossible to raise funds from the people. Lu Bing, what you said is so unreasonable, is it possible that we should send the stolen property to the capital first, and then transfer it back to Huainan when the holy decree comes down. So, wouldn't it be too much? ”
"The imperial court has its own rules and regulations, and the procedure must be followed." Lu Bing did not back down, and insisted on saying: "In any case, the money and goods must be sent back to Beijing first, as for how to arrange this fund in the future, it is up to His Majesty to make a decision, and it is planned by his own cabinet." ”
Watching them quarrel, Sun Dan felt like he felt like he had just come up with an idea. The so-called wealth touches people's hearts. That's right, among the three people here, Lu Bing is a rich man, while Yang Yiqing is a gentleman, as for Zhang Zhang, he is only greedy for power and has no desire for money. But among the three people, Yang Ge wanted to take the money for disaster relief, Lu Bing wanted to send the money back to Beijing to invite favor in front of the emperor, and Zhang Xuan didn't care.
Now, before the money has appeared, Yang and Lu have begun to argue, which is inevitably too early, so they will naturally fall into my trap.
Sun Dan waited for the two to quarrel for a long time, then coughed and arched his hand: "Yang Xiang, Brother Lu, don't argue, listen to me and say a fair word." ”
"What kind of fairness, anyway, these tens of thousands of disaster victims need food, clothing, and housing, and there is no money for relief, can they become homeless people and cause a big 'chaos'?" Yang Yiqing snorted, but also quieted down.
Sun Dan said: "Otherwise, if all the silver obtained from the raid is intercepted, Lu Bing will not be able to explain it to the imperial court." The adults also know that Wang and Gan are rich in wealth, and we will definitely have a lot of gains this time, so why not first intercept a part of it for the relief of the victims, and send the remaining part to the imperial court. In this way, the family gets a little bit and each has its own place. ”
Yang Yiqing thought for a while and nodded: "It's okay, I'll spend 500,000 yuan from the family property of Wang and Gan first." ”
"Jingyuan has a point." Lu Bing also agreed with Sun Dan's opinion, looking at Yang Yiqing's meaning, if he didn't give him some funds, it is estimated that Lao Yang would not agree, and it seems that he can only compromise at present: "But, Yang Ge Lao, is 500,000 too much, it is impossible." ”
"What is too much, this number is calculated by me." As he spoke, Yang Yiqing calculated the accounts for Lu Bing one by one, and finally said: "In my opinion, Wang and Gan have been greedy for at least 1.6 million taels over the years, so it's not too much to use your 500,000 yuan for disaster relief, right?" ”
The two had another dispute, and in the end, Lu Bing only promised to give Huai'an Mansion 300,000 taels, so that the matter could be determined.
After everyone discussed, they did not delay, and immediately mobilized the army to go to Wang Shu's mansion to raid the house.
Wang Shu had a large courtyard in the middle of the city, and Ganbida lived in the yamen.
Gonggong Gan was not big, so Zhang Xuan and the prefect of Huai'an brought people over. And Wang Shu is the big leader, and Yang Yiqing personally led the team, accompanied by Lu Bing and Sun Dan, and the momentum is very great.
When they arrived at Wang Shu's house, the soldiers immediately moved Wang Shu's family and servants into a small courtyard, and then began to search. It is strange to say that Wang Shu is such a big official, but the furnishings in his home are very simple, and there are not many servants in the family, there are only about a dozen people in total, and the clothes on his body are also very simple. His wife and children, for example, also had patches on their clothes.
There was a flurry of chickens and dogs.
Sun Dan, Yang Yiqing, and Lu Bing stood in the courtyard and waited, and about an hour later, a soldier finally came to report.
