Chapter 156: Thunder Action
Two days have passed, and the apparently calm situation is already turbulent.
Zheng Xunrui looked at the many materials in his hand, his face was gloomy, he never imagined that He Yaowu's courage was so big, and he was desperately trying to collect money, it can be said that it had reached the point of madness, the General Military Mansion had been controlled by the Zheng family, and countless evidence materials had been searched, and the master beside He Yaowu had already confessed, and more and more money and food were searched out, and they were continuously transported to the Zheng family's military camp, but these things were carried out at night, and the news had not yet been revealed.
Zheng Xunrui encountered a problem, according to the investigation of Zheng Jinhong and others, in about ten years, He Yaowu's wealth may reach more than two million taels of silver, which can be said to be a huge amount of money, if this news leaks out, then Zheng Xunrui will not get these silver, the court and the household department must be confiscated, they don't care that these silver should be given to the sergeant, the only way to keep these silver is still on He Yaowu's body, that is, He Yaowu chose to commit suicide, after the death, there is nothing left, Of course, the two masters who know the inside story also choose to commit suicide.
It is not easy to do this step, He Yaowu has been in Yulin Town for about ten years, the relationship network is dense, I don't know how many officers look at He Yaowu, once He Yaowu has a problem, many officers will be surprised, and even take risks and take some extreme actions.
Zheng Xunrui also faces a problem, that is, whether to carry out a purge of the officers in Yulin Town, or just to hold He Yaowu responsible, which does not need to be considered after a few hundred years, it must be a comprehensive purge, but not now, a comprehensive purge means that the guard camp in Yulin Town is afraid of a complete collapse, such a consequence Zheng Xunrui can not bear, he must maintain a calm appearance, after punishing He Yaowu, slowly clean up those officers who have committed the most heinous crimes, as for some officers at the bottom who have benefited from it, Don't pursue it.
After all, today's shape is different, and it can be described as internal and external difficulties.
Zheng Xunrui has been thinking about it for two days, and it should be time to make a final decision.
He Yaowu was placed under house arrest in the wing of the governor's yamen.
Seeing Zheng Xunrui coming in, He Yaowu spoke with red eyes.
"My lord, what do you mean by this, why do you restrict the freedom of your subordinates, your subordinates still have a lot of things to deal with, if you delay the military situation, I am afraid that it will be difficult for adults to bear responsibility."
"General Soldier He, you are dying, are you still hard-mouthed, you should know why this official detained you in the governor's yamen."
"My subordinates don't understand what the adults are saying."
"If you don't understand, forget it, there is a lot of evidence in the hands of this official, and General He is too anxious, this official has just taken office, what kind of property will you transfer, isn't this a move to find death, do you really think that this official is so easy to fool, when this official was in Yan'an Mansion, he heard your name He Zongbing."
He Yaowu's face turned pale, and his eyes turned even redder.
"What do you mean, my lord, before I arrived in Yulin Town, I investigated my subordinates, and when such a thing spread, wouldn't it make all the officers and sergeants feel cold."
"Hehe, I can only say that you don't know how to converge, you have gone too far, and the officer also knows that deducting military salaries is a very common thing, not that you alone have such behavior, if you can't deduct military salaries, I'm afraid that you, the chief military officer, will not survive, but do you know that this official entered Yulin Town, saw those military households, what was the feeling in his heart, you eat meat and let people drink soup, you are too greedy for money, how can the military households below survive, there have been several mutinies of sergeants in Yulin Town, countless military households have fled, among the exiles, How many people are out of here. ”
He Yaowu looked at Zheng Xunrui with red eyes, and a resentful look shot out of his eyes.
"Adults don't need to say so much, say how much silver you want, since everyone does this, presumably adults also know the rules, don't do things too much, otherwise adults will not be able to stabilize the situation in Yulin, at that time, the subordinates will wait to see how the adults end."
"The official knows that your relationship in Yulin Town is not ordinary, and even in the imperial court, since you can be greedy for so much money, there must be a lot of filial piety, but unfortunately the official doesn't care about this, the official loves money, and is worried about money, and the official also wants to be able to have a relationship in the court, but the official will not let you go."
He Yaowuteng stood up.
"Zheng Xunrui, what do you want, hurry up."
"This official wants you to cut yourself, so that you can stabilize the situation in Yulin Town."
"Self-determination, will I listen to your arrangement, you are whimsical."
"I know you won't listen, take me and tell you the consequences slowly, among the evidence I have, it involves your greed for ink, bribing the adults of the court, the household department and the military department and the metropolitan procuratorate, all of them will follow you unlucky, you think about these things in the hands of the emperor, how the emperor will deal with those adults, this is one of them."
When Zheng Xunrui said this, He Yaowu still raised his head.
"The most important thing is that you connived at the Liukou, obviously Yulinwei escaped a lot of sergeants and joined the Liukou team, but you concealed it and did not report it, and continued to ask the court for Yulu, according to my understanding, these money and food, you are directly provided to the Liukou, since they are the Liukou, as the chief military officer, you are responsible for the protection of Yulin Border Town, and you actually communicate with the Liukou, what kind of crime is this, you know very well, this is the second."
He Yaowu's body had begun to tremble.
"You are just a military attaché, you don't have much status in the court, the official will hand over these evidence to the court, escort you to the capital, those adults who have accepted your bribes, in order to protect themselves, how will they deal with you, this is a natural situation, you must not think that at this time, they will come forward to protect you, they are difficult to protect themselves, I hope you die soon, I am afraid that in the prison of the capital, you will encounter accidents, where do you have the opportunity to speak, if you do not obey the arrangement of the official, This official is also ready to do this, so that you have an accident, so that the adults in the court can rest assured, this official does this, and he will not offend so many adults in the court, this is the third. ”
He Yaowu was already unstable.
"There are serious crimes, some of them can be borne by themselves, and they don't have to be connected to their families, but some crimes are definitely connected to their families, you can think about what kind of crime you are, judging from the amount of greedy money, will the emperor let you go, will he let your family go, as long as your home is copied to the core, so that you can't leave anything, and your family and even your family, will suffer, there are too many such things in the court, this official doesn't want to say more, this is the fourth."
"If you choose to cut yourself, this official can also guarantee two points."
"The first point is that your family will not be implicated, the property you transferred before, this official will not pursue it, these properties are enough for your family to have food and clothing without worry, so that they can live in peace."
"The second point is that your own crimes will not be too serious, this official will find a way to erase most of your crimes, and will not mention your greedy money, just say that because there are too many sergeants in the Yulin border army who have joined the rogue army, you are ashamed of the emperor and the court, so you chose to judge yourself, as for these evidence materials, they will also disappear with you."
"The official has said everything he should say, how to choose is your business, the official has prepared a pen and paper for you, give you a day, make a final decision, if there is still no news by then, then the official will not be polite."
When Zheng Xunrui turned around and was about to leave, a hoarse voice appeared.
"What the adults say, can you really do it?"
"It's all at this time, will the official joke with you, the official promises a thousand dollars, although you can't see these situations appear, but the official still wants to maintain the safety of Yulin Town, will the official joke with his own life."
"The subordinates obey the arrangement of the adults, and the subordinates have only one request."
"Speak."
"There are two concubines under him, both of whom are in the General Military Mansion, and after the subordinates cut themselves, it is impossible for them to return home, and the family will not accept them, please settle them properly."
Zheng Xunrui looked at He Yaowu, and couldn't imagine that this chief military officer was still a lover, which was really a bit of a surprise.
"In this matter, the official agreed, and the official will give them some silver taels, so that they can leave Yulin Town on their own and return to their hometown."
He Yaowu wrote all the materials, was closely guarded by Zheng Jinhong and others, and came to the General Military Mansion.
Zheng Jinhong watched He Yaowu drink the prepared poisonous wine, and soon bled to death.
The search for property has long been over, all the gold, silver and jewelry have all been transferred to the barracks, as for the food, it is not a lot, He Yaowu will not save so much food, he can't eat so much alone, and it is the best way to exchange it for gold and silver.
That night, Zheng Jinhong reported that the gold, silver, and jewelry he had found, worth 1.55 million taels, 14,700 stone of grain, and some calligraphy and paintings, were all registered and sent to the barracks.
According to the reaction on the evidence materials, He Yaowu's silver greed for ink exceeded two million taels, and the silver that was not found was close to one million taels, either sent out or sent home, Zheng Xunrui would not pursue these silvers, and could not be pursued.
Ten days, such a huge harvest, made Zheng Xunrui a little dizzy, although when he crossed, he tried his best to make money and lay the foundation, but compared with those civil and military officials who were greedy for ink, his efforts were nothing at all, and he couldn't get a lot of silver, but the gold and silver seized this time can help Zheng Xunrui really start to do big things, and he can also expand the scale of Zheng's army as much as possible.
