Chapter Fifty-Seven: Waves Again
Kowtow to the adults and thank you: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is a morning music, and there is no retreat!" At that moment, Qianlong was much older again.
The Gansu Fraud Case came to an end, with nearly 200 high-ranking cadres being dismissed, and the largest collective corruption case in the history of the Manchu Qing Dynasty came to an end.
Let's ask, who is the biggest beneficiary in the Gansu bailout case?!
Some children's shoes will say: Of course it is with adults!
I would say that's just one aspect. In fact, the biggest beneficiary is Qianlong.
The hard-earned savings of more than 100 corrupt officials for eight years finally went into his pocket.
Looking at the mountains of gold, silver and jewelry in front of him, Lord Qianlong quickly turned his worries into joy. He has always been very concerned about the property of corrupt officials, and he is very knowledgeable about treasures and cultural relics, so whenever a treasure comes in, he has to taste it carefully, completely forgetting the origin of these treasures. It has also gradually forgotten that this is one of the biggest stains on his political career.
The jewels and treasures are really eye-opening.
The stolen goods of various officials were transported into the capital one after another, but only one person had been firmly holding the treasures in his hands and refused to hand them over for a long time. This person is the founder of the term 'donation' - Wang Kangwang.
Qianlong was very worried about this.
If you want to say who is the most courageous and the most fierce in the Gansu fraud case, it is none other than Wang Kangwang.
This thing is going against the sky.
The total amount of embezzlement reached more than 3 million taels.
At the price of food at the time, it was about a year's ration for one million people.
Qianlong was shocked.
And adults were also shocked. He doesn't have that much money right now. In a few years, he will know more than 3 million taels, that is Mao'er! There are more than this number squeezed out of the gaps between his teeth.
"Back then, Wang Jiawang paid tribute to me and gave me a lot of treasures. According to the rules, the tribute items paid by the governors in various places should be advanced and retreated, and I returned many treasures to him. Those treasures are still fresh in my memory! Now, Wang Kanwang has been escorted into Beijing, and the stolen goods have been handed over. Let's go, I'll take you to the open and show you what the rarity is. By the way, this product likes antique calligraphy and painting the most on weekdays, and this time you and I will definitely have a good life to appreciate it! ”
"Thank you for your love. I am afraid that the slaves are shallow in their studies and swept away the emperor's Yaxing. ”
"It's because I'm afraid of ruining the fun, so I brought you. Don't follow Lao Tzu's ink, just go with Lao Tzu happily. I think that the authentic handiwork of Tang Bohu that he paid tribute to me back then made me return it, and now I regret it! I'm too embarrassed to ask for it. In those years, it made me sad. Now all his belongings are piled up in the treasury, and the painting must still be in it, and my long-cherished wish for many years can finally be fulfilled. Wang Lian, hurry up and bring all the calligraphy and paintings confiscated by Wang Kangwang's mansion to Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu will see it in person! ”
"Slaves obey!" Wang Lian heard this, and hurriedly led the little eunuch on duty. This is more than an hour.
"Rub, why haven't you come back?! Heshen, go with me! "Lord Qianlong is not calm.
"Wow!"
At the gate of the treasury, as soon as Lord Qianlong and Lord He arrived, they met Wang Lian head-on.
"Wang Lian, didn't you really ask you to get calligraphy and painting?! You're here to draw?! Why is it so long?! ”
"Your Majesty, there is no calligraphy and painting in Wang Kangwang's family property!"
"No?! How could it not be?! Last time, he clearly dedicated to me Tang Bohu's "Magu Picture", Huayan Society peony, Mi Fu ink volume, Su Shi Buddhist scriptures, all let me return. You can't see something so conspicuous?! You're blind! ”
"Your Majesty, there really isn't!" Wang Lian felt aggrieved: You can't let me pick it!
"The emperor is angry, as long as we compare the submission of Wang Kangwang's stolen goods, we will know whether these things are in it or not."
"Where's the submission?!" These things had just been put into storage, and Lord Qianlong didn't even have time to look at the book, so he hurried over.
"Your Majesty, the book is here." The escort officer next to him hurriedly submitted the report. Qianlong Ye took the submission and glanced at it: Rub, it's really not! Impossible?!
"Why isn't there a single calligraphy or painting in Wang Kanwang's stolen goods?!" Qianlong Ye said angrily.
"Your Majesty, the main job of the slave is to be in charge of escorting, and I didn't copy the home!" The escort officer said tremblingly, almost scared to the point of dit and urine.
Qianlongye's brows furrowed: Wang Ganwang's penchant for collecting is well known, it stands to reason that he should cherish and cherish these celebrity calligraphy and paintings, protect and protect them, and treat them as his life, how could he not have copied them? !
"Your Majesty, the slave asks for an inventory of the stolen goods against the submission!" And an idea came to the hearts of adults.
"Accurate!"
It turned out exactly as he expected.
"Your Majesty, the things that have been released from Beijing this time are really a bit unsightly, Wang Ganwang embezzled three million taels of dirty silver, it can't be just these parallel goods! The minions thought there must be something greasy in this! ”
"I've been suspicious for a long time. Wang Kangwang is fond of antique calligraphy and painting, but there is not a single one in this book, and it is obviously transferred. ”
"And that's not all. In the course of the inventory, the servants also found that some of the items recorded in the register did not match those in the treasury. Wang Kangwang's decision to deal with it had already been conveyed, and the stolen goods should have been escorted into Beijing immediately, but he delayed it for half a year. The minions thought that these items must have been exchanged. ”
"I really didn't expect that someone would dare to play stealing beams and changing pillars for me under Lao Tzu's nose, I think he is impatient."
"Your Majesty, if you want to find out who is doing the ghost in it, you just need to find the bottom book of the stolen goods of Wang Jiawang." And adults came up with a solution to the problem in a timely manner.
"Right! I'll leave this matter to you! Hey......" Qianlong Ye suddenly sighed: "'People die for money, and birds die for food.'" For the sake of money, they don't even pay attention to my orders. Looking at the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty, I really don't know who else to trust! ”
"Your Majesty! No matter what the officials in the world are, the loyalty of the slaves to the emperor can be proven, and the sun and the moon can be seen! ”
"For you, I am naturally very relieved. You are loyal and single-minded, if only the Manchu Dynasty were like you! Alright, go down. Hurry up and get this done. ”
"Your Majesty, now that the slave wears many hats, and the Beijing affairs are busy, once you start to investigate this matter, I am afraid that you will be unable to do it. In order to successfully complete the task you have assigned, the minions dare to ask for help. ”
"Say, who do you want?!"
"Zhejiang's political envoy Sheng Zhu."
"Sheng Zhu?! Is it reliable?! ”
"This person is an honest official and has an outstanding reputation, although the emperor can rest assured!"
"Accurate!"
And the adults smiled: Zhejiang is mine again!
