readx; Zhu Youzhen gave an order, and someone immediately carried Yang Lian, the new Nanjing Guozi Priest and who had not yet taken office, in a soft sedan chair. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Tian Ergeng, Xu Xianchun and others did not know that Yang Lian was not dead because they were in prison, let alone that Zhu Youzhen had welcomed them back to Beijing to become officials again, so when they saw Yang Lian, they were all frightened. Xu Xianchun was even more in a trance and said: "You... Aren't you dead? ”

Yang Lian's face was full of wrinkles like knives and suddenly unfolded, and he smiled mockingly at Xu Xianchun and said, "I'm dead, and I'm here to ask for your life today." ”

"Ghosts, ghosts... Hell yes! Xu Xianchun's spirit completely collapsed, and he wanted to run away even crying and shouting. However, how could he run fast with leg shackles, and before he could run two steps, he was kicked over by Qin Bing and dragged back like a dead dog.

Yang Lian carefully examined the confession, and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, this confession is purely forged!" The handprint on it was indeed the minister's, but it was forced by Xu Xianchun after the minister was knocked unconscious; The handwriting is not right at all, let the minister try it! ”

Zhu Youzhen urgently ordered someone to take pen and ink to check the handwriting, so do you need to say? Everything from the confession to the signature was forged. Yang Lian complained again: "As for the stolen silver, it is completely false. Xu Xianchun was instructed by the eunuchs to torture us severely, compare them every three days, and forcibly extort two taels of silver. Some sons and nephews were afraid that their ministers would be killed, so they had to scrape together, and even sell their houses and land to pay silver taels, but how could they be the tens of thousands of taels that the thief pointed out! The thief deliberately said such a number, just to kill his ministers in prison! ”

Zhu You listened and smiled at Xu Xianchun: "By the way, what about the so-called stolen silver?" Is there a document that was handed over to the Ministry of Households? ”

Xu Xianchun and the others were dumbfounded, they tried the case in Jinyiwei, they have always only swallowed and not spit out like Pixiu, and the silver squeezed out was greedy by themselves, the emperor did not pursue it, and no one dared to ask, at most he was filial to Wei Zhongxian. Now Zhu Youzhen suddenly asked where the stolen money went, who can answer?

Zhu Youzhen sneered: "Since you can't answer, it means that the silver makes you greedy for ink." Su Maoxiang, have these people's homes been copied? ”

"It's already been copied," Su Maoxiang hurriedly replied, "Hundreds of taels to thousands of taels of silver have been copied from the mansion." ”

As soon as Zhu Youzhen heard it, he knew that it was the Three Law Divisions who deliberately indulged and made Tian Ji and others transfer their property. However, he had already prepared, and asked, "Their family members and servants should still be in Jingshi, right?" ”

In fact, Tian Ji and others really wanted to transfer their property out of Jingshi. It's just that after the Qin soldiers entered the city, the inspection was very strict, and the family members and servants in their mansion couldn't leave if they wanted to. Zhu Youzhen ordered Qin Bing to quickly bring the tents and housekeepers of each mansion to the scene, and first said to the housekeeper in Cui Chengxiu's mansion, who was already dead: "Your old man is dead, so you don't need to protect him." Let's say, Cui Chengxiu still has a few properties in Beijing, where is the stolen money hidden? ”

The housekeeper hesitated for a moment, and Zhu Youzhen immediately sank his face and said: "This person is not honest, he has five thousand sticks, and he is really beaten!" ”

The three sticks went down, and the housekeeper had already opened his skin, so he had to wail and beg for mercy: "Long live the master, the little one has all the tricks!" ”

It doesn't matter if this trick is made, Cui Chengxiu actually has five mansions in Jingshi! Zhu Youzhen immediately sent Qin soldiers to copy it, and someone came to report it after a while: "More than 800,000 taels of silver have been copied from various mansions, and they have not yet been copied, and they are still being counted." ”

More than 800,000 taels! The people in the audience were in an uproar, you must know that all the expenses of an ordinary family for a year add up to only a few dozen taels of silver!

Zhu Youzhen was also overjoyed and continued to inquire about the property of the other criminals. These housekeepers are not as cunning as their masters, and as soon as they were scared, Zhu Youzhen followed the vine and struck while the iron was hot, and raided all the properties of the nine criminals in Beijing in one afternoon. As for the fields outside the Jingshi, they can only be traced slowly in the future.

Not only these are enough, Tian Ji found out more than 500,000 taels, and Wu Chunfu, Tian Ergeng and others also found more than 100,000 to hundreds of thousands of taels. Xu Xianchun embezzled the most silver, reaching a million taels. These five tigers and five biao alone made Zhu Youzhen instantly have millions of taels of cash in his account, and Zhu Youzhen was not polite, and immediately announced that all of them were charged into the inner treasury.

The evidence is ironclad, and the nine prisoners are already like chaff. Zhu Youzhen said: "The person with the highest official rank among you is only a little more than a thousand stones, and it is worth four or five thousand taels of silver. In addition to corruption and bribery, how can these tens of millions of taels be explained? Emperor Taizu stipulated that officials who embezzled more than 50 taels would be stripped of the last straw, only this one crime, how do you plan to die? Not to mention his own corruption, but to frame others with corruption, and kill loyal and honest people, how shameless! ”

Before the words fell, a young scholar rushed out of the crowd crying, and Qin Bing couldn't stop it. Zhu Youzhen looked at it and saw that it was Huang Zongxi, and hurriedly asked people to let him go.

Huang Zongxi bowed to Zhu Youzhen, pointed at Xu Xianchun's nose and complained with tears in his eyes: "Huang Zunsu, the father of the grass people, was the imperial history of Shandong Province before his death, and he was inspired by the eunuchs and the Hakka clan to troubled the court, and he impeached Wei Zhongxian in "The Holy Decision is Early". The eunuch hated the father of the grass people, and wore a brocade guard to capture him. Unexpectedly, Jinyiwei provoked a civil uprising in Suzhou, killed two of them, and the rest of them fled, but did not catch the people's father.

"The father of the people knew that the eunuchs were framed, but Jinyiwei had a holy decree, and the father of the people resolutely went to Beijing on foot to be arrested and sent to prison with the idea that 'life and death are all the grace of the king'. Xu Xianchun and Cui Yingyuan were instructed by the eunuchs to torture the people's father, and concocted '2,800 taels of bribes', and forcibly took prisoners according to the hands of the people's father. Caomin's heart grieved for his father's blood, and he begged his fellow villagers and people's fathers in Beijing for the same year and protégé, barely scraping together enough 2,800 taels to hand in. I didn't want to have these 2,800 taels, and the people's father was convicted, but he accelerated his murder and died in prison that night! ”

Huang Zongxi complained while prostrating himself on the ground. And it is not his family who has been framed by Xu Xianchun and others with such means, and many people have come to listen today, and they can't help crying when they hear this, which makes people feel sorry for it. Yang Lian also pointed at Xu Xianchun's nose and scolded: "If it weren't for Your Majesty's personal rescue, I would have been killed by you in the edict prison like this!" ”

Xu Xianchun suddenly stammered: "Someone robbed the prison that day, and that fire, could it be..."

Before he could finish speaking, Huang Zongxi, who had been kneeling on the ground, suddenly jumped up with an arrow step, took out a shiny iron cone from his arms, and stabbed Xu Xianchun all the way!

Xu Xianchun is a big fat man, and his body is full of fat; However, no fat can help but poke like this, dozens of wounds have been stabbed in the blink of an eye, and the dirty blood is spraying wildly, and the howl is not stopping!

Su Maoxiang and the others were dumbfounded, because although it was a public trial, this was equivalent to a lobby. A witness stabbed someone with a sharp object, is this worth it? Therefore, he immediately shouted angrily: "Take this man down for me!" ”

Zhu Youzhen snorted coldly and said, "I want to take it." But it's you! ”
