Li Zhonghan is just a small bookstore, not the core figure of the corruption case, at most he is just a small role in the end when people take the lion's share and get a piece of the pie. When Han Jian said this, his psychological defense line was also loosened.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty...... Xia Guan really didn't know much. Li Zhonghan said distressedly.

Li Zhonghan thought to himself: "I'm just a hundred taels of silver a year, and when I am an official, I am the other Qingshui Yamen, and the benefits I get every year are more than these, who is this recruiting to provoke whom?" ”

Han Jian said indifferently: "Then you know how much you say, and you can't hide it." ”

"Yes, yes." Li Zhonghan hurriedly said the benefits he received on weekdays like pouring bitter water, Li Zhonghan was still a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and he was very familiar with this, but he knew everything and said everything, and even said that he had been a poor man in Kusi for a few years, and the benefits of how many taels of silver he received every year were all said.

"Li Shuban's memory is good." Han Jian said coldly, "It's a pity that these can't save your life." ”

"But the lower officials know so much, the silver is sent down from above, and everyone in the treasury has a share. If you don't take it, you have to pretend to be honest, I'm afraid that your lower official's job won't be saved, and I hope that Your Royal Highness will spare the lower official for the sake of the younger family......

Han Jian was annoyed enough to listen to Li Zhonghan's nonsense, and now Li Zhonghan snorted and cried as if he was miserable, and Han Jian really didn't want to listen to it.

"There are still a lot of things that should be explained in Li Shuban, so if you can't think of it, think about it." Han Jian waved his hand and motioned for the guards to escort him down. Then Li Zhonghan cried and shouted and was pulled away.

Wait for the lobby to be quiet. Sima Yu, who had been silent, walked over and asked, "Young boy, even this guy refuses to recruit." Are we going to take a real moment and serve them with a big punishment? ”

"There's no hurry." Han Jian said. His eyes fell on the direction of the entrance of the main hall, at this time, Yang Xi also hurried over accompanied by the guards, Han Jian originally sent Yang Xi to seal the warehouse, Yang Xi came back so soon, there should have been a mistake in the middle.

"Young Master Yang, the library is all sealed?" Han Jian asked.

"Nope." Yang Xi said anxiously, "We went to serve a few warehouses, but we encountered a group of people from the treasury making trouble, and they just refused to let us seal the warehouse." also said that he wanted to find his sister to comment, but something went wrong, and several lives were killed and injured. Brother Han, what do you say...... What can I do? ”

After listening to Yang Xi's words, Han Jian immediately understood the intentions of the Northern King Party.

Originally, it was the empress's will to seal the library, and Han Jian, Yang Xi and others were just executors, and the queen would bear the risk of sealing the library. If there is an accident in the middle, the empress will be under pressure to stabilize Luoyang City. Sometimes the Empress had to pull back to calm things down.

"His heart can be punished." Han Jian sighed, those who made trouble were clearly instructed by them, and now most of the officials of the Treasury Division are detained in the Tingwei Mansion, and the one behind the scenes is either Ma Jining, who has not yet been brought to justice. Either the rest of the Northern King Party.

"We need to move faster." Han Jian said, "We can't delay tonight at the latest, and it will change later." ”

Sima said, "But we have no evidence. ”

"If there is no evidence, look for evidence. Do you need me to teach you? Han Jian looked at Sima Xiang coldly.

Sima Yi could see that Han Jian was angry, and he didn't say anything at the moment. He really didn't know how to find evidence.

Han Jian calmed down a little and said, "Let's go." Come with me to the cell. ”

Han Jian took Sima Yi, Yang Xi, Zhang Xing and others to the cell of the Tingwei Mansion, which was already overcrowded at this time, and the officials of the Treasury Department were almost captured. The top management of the treasury was very calm, and they didn't make trouble or say anything, as if they expected that what Han Jian did was just a farce in the end, while those petty officials and officials complained bitterly, their psychology was the same as Li Zhonghan, they only accepted a little benefit, but now they are facing prison.

Han Jian walked around the cell and looked at the reactions of the officials in the cell. Then Han Jian instructed Lin Zhan: "Divide the Kusi from the officials below the seventh rank into three batches and escort them to the main hall." ”

"Yes, young boy." Lin Zhan received the order to give the order, while Han Jian went back to the main hall to wait first.

Han Jian returned to the main hall and sat directly in the place where the case was first heard, and then more than a dozen officials from the Treasury Department were escorted up. These officials turned their faces one by one, and many of them were even disheveled, because when Han Jian sent people out to arrest people, many of them were directly caught from the kang at home.

"His Royal Highness the King of the East, we are ministers in the same palace, I don't know what to offend, His Royal Highness wants to ask people about things?" A middle-aged official, who appeared to be in the middle of the moment, questioned Han Jian.

Han Jian said: "This king was ordered by the emperor to thoroughly investigate the corruption case of the treasury, how many people know? ”

Hearing Han Jian's words, the officials couldn't help but look at each other, and the official asked, "Didn't Your Highness be ordered to supervise the storage of summer grain?" When...... Want to investigate a corruption case? ”

Han Jian didn't talk nonsense with him, and said directly: "This king has found evidence of a crime, and the treasury department colluded with the household department to embezzle and make a deficit, causing the imperial court to lose a lot of money and grain every year. DID YOU KNOW? ”

The man said, "Since Your Highness has evidence, why do you need to bring it to others?" ”

Han Jian's eyes suddenly turned cold, he glanced at the man, waved his hand, and said, "Pull it out, let's hit dozens of boards first." ”

Han Jian's words not only surprised the officials below, but also Sima Yi, Lin Zhan and others. But the guards still obeyed the order and stepped forward to take the man.

The man shouted, "King of the East, since you have been ordered to investigate the case, you have no right to interrogate, and you are abusing lynching in this way...... Ah......h

As he spoke, the man had already been dragged out of the door, and the yacha had already picked up the board and beckoned to him, so that he could not even shout the rest of the words, but heard a scream.

After all, the officials of the Treasury Division are pampered, unlike the ordinary people. These people are too delicate and expensive to withstand a few boards, and they have only gone down a few boards, and the shouts have already torn their throats, and the screams are heartbreaking, and the other Treasury officials who listened to them were silent one by one.

Han Jian said with an indifferent expression: "This king is ordered to do things, and he also has the right to act cheaply, even if he disposes of it improperly." Your Majesty will also understand, presumably you should also understand this, right? ”

The officials below all nodded yes. Dongwang Na was one of the four kings of the Wei Dynasty, and even if he killed people and set fires, he would not be guilty of death. If you want the East King to die, unless it involves a major case of rebellion. Now that the king of the east is on an errand, is it still a mistake to beat someone?

Han Jian walked down from the hall, went to the officials of the Treasury Division, and said, "Now this king asks you, and you answer honestly, otherwise, the one outside will be your fate." ”

The Treasury official was silent.

Han Jian walked in front of a person, a middle-aged official. Han Jian expected that such an old fritter would be deeply involved in the world and would be difficult to deal with.

"Do you know about the Couss' embezzlement case?"

The man didn't think about it, and replied, "I don't know." ”

Han Jian waved his hand directly, and the guards immediately stepped forward to take the person, and dragged the person out of the door without saying a word, followed by a tragic scream. Han Jian's handling of this made everyone else feel a little frightened.

Han Jian walked in front of the second person, a young man who was a little gentle.

Han Jian asked, "Do you know?" ”

"Xiaguan...... Xia Guan didn't know ......" The young man glanced at the door and gritted his teeth.

Han Jian doesn't talk nonsense either. waved his hand again, and immediately someone stepped forward and dragged someone out to fight.

Han Jian beat three people in a row, which has already had a sufficient intimidation effect. Everyone else lowered their heads, as if they were making up their words.

Han Jian walked up to the third person. Ten officials around the age of thirty, this time there was no need for Han Jian to ask, the man replied directly: "Go back to Your Highness." Xia Guan knew some of the facts of the case. There were people in the treasury who embezzled the treasury money, but those were the bosses of the lower officials. It has nothing to do with the lower officials. ”

Han Jian looked at this person, very sleek. But it's dishonest.

"Really? Tell me, which boss is you? Han Jian asked.

"Yes...... It's Hu Fenling, no, it's Deputy Leader Xu......"

Han Jian smiled, what this person said was really serious, but it was nonsense. Is this to abandon the car to protect the handsome? What Hu is leading Deputy Leader Xu may be the boss in the eyes of these people, but he is not even a fart compared to a predator like Ma Jining.

"Don't be honest, pull it out, fight." Han Jian said indifferently.

The guard immediately went up to drag the man, and the man shouted, "Your Highness, what the lower official said is the truth." ”

"The truth? When this king is so easy to fool? Han Jian sneered, "You get so much money every year, but you really shut up your mouth, and now the king of the north is going to pry your mouth open." ”

The man tried to explain something, but the man had been dragged out of the door, and the screams resumed.

beat four people in a row, and the others probably understood that Han Jian was not trying the case normally today, but he was here to make a move.

Han Jian walked in front of the fourth person, who was also an official in his thirties who looked very shrewd. Han Jian asked directly: "This king won't ask, you can just say it." ”

The man knelt directly on the ground, and said very neatly: "The lower officials do receive a lot of money every year, and they are all sent down from above, and the lower officials don't dare to ask more, but now I think about it, it should be the corruption and loss of those officials above, and they want to pull me into the water." ”

"Hmm. After talking for a long time, what you said is more reliable. Han Jian praised with a smile, "Then you say, which officials above you are corrupt and lost?" ”

"This subordinate ...... I don't know...... The lower official really doesn't know, and asks His Highness to tap it when he fights......"

The official said, his body was already trembling, the screams outside continued, and he was also terrified when he listened, he didn't plead or be beaten, but begged to be beaten lightly.

"Why should you tell Your Highness what you know? If you have no fault, why should this king beat you? Han Jian personally helped him up and said, "Stand aside, although this case is related to you, but you have made a meritorious report, after finding out the facts of the case, this king will start to His Majesty, reward you well, stand aside and wait." ”

As if the man had been pardoned by the emperor, he slipped aside with gratitude, but he was also glad in his heart.

When the others saw Han Jian so "easy to speak", they all seemed to have found a guiding light.

Han Jian walked up to the fifth person, and before he could speak, the man said: "Back to Your Highness, the lower officials also know that the people above have a deficit and corruption, and the lower officials only get some money, and they don't know who is corrupt and short. ”

Han Jian snorted coldly and said, "Pull it out and fight." ”

The man hurriedly shouted: "Your Highness, the lower official has also confessed honestly, why are you still fighting?" ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at the one that Han Jian had let go just now, as if to say, the same thing, why only hit me and not him?

Han Jian sneered: "This king doesn't want to hear the same thing a second time, and this king doesn't need two copies of the same testimony." Now there is only one opportunity in front of you, and that is to confess some facts of the case that others have not confessed. After falling behind, the outer face is not stopped, and he commits the crime of covering up, and moves his head with the same crime as the culprit. (To be continued......)
