Chapter 125: Cloud Mountain Mist Cover
"Xiaguan, Xiaguan......" Wei Xianfu faced the human and physical evidence in front of him, as well as the presence of many officials present, Wei Xianfu couldn't say why, and was so ashamed that he wanted to dig a hole in the ground to escape the current dilemma.
However, Wen Yiheng did not give Wei Xianfu a chance to escape, and directly sent officials to search the homes of Wei Xianfu and other corrupt officials on the grounds that the evidence was conclusive, and a large amount of silver was found.
Wen Yiheng asked the account room of the government to inspect the base of the silver in the box, which was stamped with the seal of the official silver, which was the official silver distributed by the imperial court for disaster relief after the flood in Quzhou.
After taking out all the silver taels in the box and counting them, the number of silver taels was as high as one million.
Wei Xianfu and the Quzhou officials involved in it had nothing to say, so they only avoided it in a dejected manner
Wen Yiheng calmly rubbed one of the official silver ingots with his hand, looked at the Quzhou officials who knelt down below, and looked at Wei Xianfu, who was the leader: "Lord Wei, so many certified physical evidence is here, can you plead guilty?" ”
"Evergrande people, you also know that in three years, the Qing Governor's Mansion has 100,000 snowflakes of silver."
Wei Xianfu still refused to admit it with a fluke mentality: "Although Xia Guan has just served as the Taishou of Quzhou, he has also been an official in other places for six years before, so it is not surprising that he has such a silver deposit." ”
Wen Yiheng was not surprised by Wei Xianfu's sophistry, but said calmly: "Yes, even if he is a good official with clean sleeves, he has been an official for many years, and with the money issued by the imperial court, he can indeed save a considerable amount of money, but ......"
"The imperial court allocated two taels of silver for disaster relief in Quzhou, totaling 1.5 million taels. At present, the expenditure recorded by the government is only about 200,000 taels, and the remaining 1.3 million taels are missing. ”
"And the silver taels that were found from the homes of the lords are as much as 1.2 million taels, and they are matched with the 1.3 million taels that disappeared in the treasury of the government office, and the coincidence of this cannot but make people suspicious."
Wen Yiheng has always focused his attention on disaster relief silver, and tried to make up his mind about the fact that Wei Xianfu and some officials embezzled millions of disaster relief silver.
The embezzlement of disaster relief silver is as high as one million, and once the crime is convicted, it is not only the crime of killing the head, but the major crime of connecting the nine clans and digging up graves, so the officials watching in the court have a lot of discussions.
Among them, the prefect of Hangzhou was even more frightened when he heard that he had embezzled so many silver taels. Quzhou's subordinate officials embezzled disaster relief money, and I don't know if Prime Minister Wen will also punish his prefect for the crime of lax control.
"Evergrande people, Xia Guan forgot to say just now that these silver taels are not only the money saved in recent years, but also the business accumulated by the family members sitting in private." Wei Xianfu added that he still wanted to explain the facts of the crime lightly.
Wen Yiheng lost his patience and sneered: "Ha, it's really easy to be an official in Quzhou, just rely on your family to make a living, and you can earn as much as one million silver taels casually......"
Wei Xianfu couldn't hold back his face, and he thought about it and explained: "This, the Evergrande people misunderstood, what the lower official means is ......"
Wen Yiheng interrupted Wei Xianfu's defense, and said directly: "I have been fighting for many years this year, coinciding with natural and man-made disasters in various places, and the household department has been crying with me for being poor, and the bank treasury is indeed empty......
"In my opinion, Lord Wei might as well introduce such a lucrative business to the imperial court, so as to fill the treasury, it can be said that the merit is in the community... In a few days, I will face the saint and tell the saint about Lord Wei's way of making money. ”
Wen Yiheng smiled at the corner of his lips, but his face did not reveal the slightest smile, and the standard skin smile did not smile.
"If the saint is happy, maybe he will seal the position of the head of the household department for Lord Wei to sit on. At that time, Lord Wei should not forget my promotion grace and give me some silver taels to fill the family treasury. ”
Wei Xianfu was so frightened that he didn't dare to quibble anymore, like a rooster that had lost his fighting spirit, depressed and waiting to die.
Seeing that Wei Xianfu no longer quibbled and completely confessed to the fact of embezzling millions of disaster relief silver, Wen Yiheng vigorously and resolutely brought Wei Xianfu and other corrupt officials to justice.
"All the officials involved in the case will be beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market three days later. All his family property was confiscated, and all members of his family, regardless of gender, old or young, were punished with death. Wen Yiheng solemnly announced the result of the trial, and the officials present couldn't help but be shocked.
Wen Yiheng didn't even let the officials involved in the case wait for the autumn queen to be beheaded, and actually directly announced the sentence and executed three days later...
Wen Yiheng's harsh punishment reduced the number of officials in the entire Quzhou region by more than half, all the vacant positions were filled by the imperial court, and almost all the government personnel were replaced.
After the trial of the most important disaster relief bank embezzlement case, it was already dinner time. Wen Yiheng went to Kangle Fang and Qin Chaxing to find Su Jiudong, but he didn't see her.
At this time, Lan Menghan, who was supposed to follow Su Jiudong around, appeared and told Wen Yiheng: "Miss Su packed her luggage this evening, saying that she remembered an important matter and rushed back to Hangzhou to deal with it. ”
Wen Yiheng frowned helplessly, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "She didn't let you go back to Hangzhou with her, and she didn't leave me a word, is she angry?" ”
In fact, when Wen Yiheng was about to disclose his true identity, he had already thought about Su Jiudong's emotional reaction after learning about the situation, or angry or noisy, but he didn't expect that Su Jiudong would say goodbye without saying goodbye.
Lan Menghan shook his head: "I didn't see any signs of anger from Miss Su, but she also insisted on refusing to let the lowly post go back to Hangzhou with her, and only let the lowly post stay and wait for you." "I love Chinese.com
"This time, I traveled as a Zaifu and came to Quzhou with Zhejiang officials, and I couldn't leave them behind and rush back to Hangzhou alone." Wen Yiheng thought for a while, and instructed Lan Menghan: "You leave for Hangzhou immediately, try to catch her on the road and protect her." ”
"Then you, childe..."
Wen Yiheng pinched his eyebrows in annoyance, and sighed: "I can't leave for the time being, and I have to stay to deal with the follow-up appointment and dismissal of officials." You go back and guard them secretly, and then give her a reasonable explanation when I get back. ”
Lan Menghan looked at Wen Yiheng's back as he left slightly, and his mind drifted back to the afternoon when he was in deep thought when he watched Su Jiudong fall into deep thought at Kangle Fang......
Su Jiudong witnessed Wen Yiheng enter the Quzhou Mansion in the afternoon, and returned to Kangle Fang in despair to think about the reason why Wen Yiheng stayed, but when he saw a father with his child come to Kangle Fang to look for medicine, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind......
Father and Son... Wen Yiheng, with, Su Ting'an......
Su Jiudong didn't know why he thought of Su Ting'an, but he couldn't help but overlap the image of Wen Yiheng and Su Ting'an in his mind.
Su Jiudong had an idea in his mind, and immediately wanted to rush back to Qishan County for verification. In order not to expose the purpose of her return, Su Jiudong forcibly let Lan Menghan stay in Quzhou and wait for Wen Heng, while she returned to Hangzhou City by car.
On the way back, Su Jiudong leaned crookedly in the carriage, his face full of sadness.
After breaking Wen Yiheng's true identity this time, Su Jiudong's heart was half shocked, and it was generally reasonable to be depressed.
Wen Yiheng is a disciple of the capital, grew up in the imperial city, and his identity is definitely extraordinary. Combined with Wen Yiheng's previous behavior and means of dealing with things, they are not comparable to ordinary people, so Su Jiudong also guessed that Wen Yiheng may be the child of a certain senior member in the court.
Later, it was rumored that Wen Yiheng was related to Wen Xiang, and Su Jiudong directly regarded Wen Yiheng as Wen Xiang's child.
Su Jiudong said to himself angrily: "In vain, I thought that he was trying to escape the protection of the prime minister's father and wanted to create his own world, so he stayed away from the capital and traveled with the minister, but I didn't expect it to be ......."
Unexpectedly, Wen Yiheng is not Wen Xiang's child, but a genuine Wen Xiang - young and powerful. Under one man, above ten thousand.
No wonder Wen Yiheng has been flashing about his identity before, and he is even more reluctant to mention Wen Xiang, because he is afraid that his true identity will be exposed...
But Wen Yiheng is a very powerful minister, a powerful and dignitary, why didn't he return to the dynasty to deal with the government, but stayed by her side for so long, what else did she want for in addition to a clear detoxification? ……
After getting off the boat and changing the carriage, Su Jiudong, who was dusty, finally returned to the front of the house, raised her hand and prepared to knock on the door, but when she heard the sound of Su Ting'an and Ah Rong playing in the courtyard, she was timid.
Su Jiudong hesitated to knock on the door, and a familiar voice from Liu Yunniang came from behind him: "Jiudong'er is back?" Why don't you go in the door? What are you doing standing stupidly? ”
Liu Yunniang was very happy to see Su Jiudong, who had not returned for a month, and eagerly pulled Su Jiudong to push the door home.
"A-Niang is back!" Su Tingan and Ah Rong greeted them warmly, and crashed into Su Jiudong's arms with a smile on their faces, and the stocky and jubilant Su Tingan kissed Su Jiudong fiercely on the face.
Su Jiudong squatted down and stroked Su Ting'an's head dotingly, looking at Su Ting'an, who was becoming more and more similar to Wen Yiheng in front of him, he was silent on the surface, and panicked in his heart.
Similar eyebrows and eyes, god-like temperament...
"Really, it seems to be ......," Su Jiudong sighed. Even if you don't want to admit it in your heart, the truth can't be changed.
Su Jiudong privately sighed more than once that Su Tingan and Wen Yiheng were more and more alike, and his eyebrows and eyes seemed to be a miniature version of Wen Yiheng.
However, every time such an idea pops up in his mind, Su Jiudong will also explain to himself, it is because the two of them often get along and influence each other.
After all, there is a saying that things are like owners, and Wen Yiheng and Su Ting'an are in contact every day, so naturally there will be slight similarities.
However, it seems that maybe those ideas are not whimsical, maybe the two of them are really getting more and more similar.
Su Jiudong had a ridiculous idea in his heart, Su Ting'an, could it be Wen Yiheng's child?
Wen Yiheng stayed in Qishan County for so long, could his purpose be Su Ting'an?
"Jiu Dong'er, why did you come back by yourself? Ah Heng didn't come back with you? Liu Yunniang looked out of the door, made sure that there was no other figure outside the house, and said suspiciously: "Last time he came back, he told me that he would come back with you before the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”
"He... He has important things to do and doesn't know when he'll be back. Su Jiudong smiled and said, "We have the Mid-Autumn Festival by ourselves, and it's good..."
