This group of black-clothed people, after jumping into Fan's Mansion, quickly sneaked into Fan's Mansion's room.

Fan Qiu's mansion was much simpler than the mansion of ordinary officials.

The so-called mansion is just a nice one.

In fact, it was a small courtyard, like the small courtyard where Zhu Chen lived before, it didn't occupy a large area, except for the courtyard, there was only one room left.

The decoration around is not luxurious, even a little shabby, but it is full of bookish atmosphere.

It is said that Confucianism is rotten and rotten, but it is really poor and rotten.

In the eyes of this group of black-clothed people, the officials in the six departments are all high-ranking families.

And this Fan bachelor, compared to them, is even inferior to a latrine.

Isn't it a big fool to work hard to get famous, not to let yourself and your family live a good life, but still fighting against the entire court here?

That's not what the people in black are concerned about, though.

They gathered in the courtyard of Fan's house, under a tree, and began to dig a pit.

The earth was constantly dug out, and one of the men in black took out several land deeds, land deeds, and silver tickets from his bosom and threw them into the big pit.

Subsequently, the soil was quickly filled.

Several men in black glanced at each other, and a hint of sinister flashed in their eyes.

Mission accomplished.

They quickly withdrew from Fan Qiu Mansion.

……

The next day, hundreds of officials went to court.

In this court meeting, the officials still discussed the matter of opening the sea and banning the sea.

Regarding the ban on opening the sea, most of the ministers of the DPRK and China were wise enough to protect themselves and did not make a sound, and the crown prince was also worried about the students of the Guozijian who paraded in the streets.

"You guys have an idea, can the imperial court pay attention to the opinions of the students of Guozijian?" The obese prince asked the ministers.

Yang Shiqi stood up and said, "Prince, the Guozijian is a reserve place for future officials, and their opinions are of course important......

These days, Fan Qiu's insistence and Hanlin Academy's insistence are all in Yang Shiqi's eyes.

Although he didn't dare to help Fan Qiu openly, Yang Shiqi was also moved by compassion......

The meaning of his words is to tell the prince and let the prince think about it.

But at this moment, Hu Ying stood up strongly and directly interrupted Yang Shiqi's recital.

"The crown prince, Weichen has a book!"

The crown prince raised his head, looked at Hu Ying suspiciously, frowned, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Hu Ying stood tall in the court, with her head held high, and her face was gloomy: "Lord Yu, Weichen received a report letter today, reporting that the wife and daughter of Master Fan's family forcibly occupied other people's fields, forcibly bought and sold land, and made huge profits!" ”

When the words fell, Hu Ying took out a report letter from his arms and raised his hands: "Please read it." ”

The court is shaking!

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all looked surprised.

They couldn't believe it, how could the dignified Fan family do anything to forcibly buy and sell land and forcibly occupy other people's land?

The crown prince also frowned sharply.

The first consciousness is that I think it is impossible!

He looked at Hu Ying, and his voice was slightly heavy: "Hu Ying, you can't talk nonsense, if you slander Bachelor Fan's innocence, you will be punished." ”

Hu Ying's face did not change: "If it is slander, I will confess in public!" ”

The crown prince rubbed his eyebrows and ordered, "Take it." ”

He still didn't believe it.

The eunuch hurriedly took the report letter to the prince.

The prince opened the report letter, and Miao Miao glanced at it a few times.

The more I looked, the more frightened I became.

The above complaint is not a crime committed by Fan Qiu himself, but the wife of the family suffered from no rice to cook, so in the name of Fan Qiu, forcibly expropriated other people's land, and the local county magistrate learned that he did not dare to offend Fan and made him cover up.

The first time, it was just two acres of land.

But with the first, there is a second, a third, a fourth......

It has been maintained like this for two years, and Fan Qiu's wife and son forcibly occupied more than 500 acres of other people's fields, and forcibly bought and sold them, obtaining thousands of taels of silver.

After reading it, the crown prince frowned.

What is said in this report letter is indeed very true.

But the crown prince still didn't believe that Fan Qiu's family would do such a thing.

If you really do this kind of thing, now you will be found out by Hu Ying, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky.

"Take it to Lord Yang and circulate it." The crown prince commanded.

The eunuch took the letter from the prince's hand, and then handed it to Yang Shiqi.

Yang Shiqi opened the envelope and looked at it carefully.

Behind him, Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji came over one after another.

When the three bigwigs read the letter carefully, they all frowned.

For a while, they couldn't tell the truth from the fake.

Seeing that Yang Shiqi and the prince were silent, Hu Ying said in a deep voice: "Prince, you can send someone to Fan's house to search, if you don't find it, then this report letter is fake." ”

The crown prince frowned, and said, "Okay, then go and search." ”

"Dali Temple, Supervision Yuan, you guys go to search together!"

The prince was afraid that the two departments had different intentions, so he ordered the two departments to search together, and also sent several overseers to investigate.

And the full hall of princes is above the court, waiting for the result.

And just like that, an hour passed.

Outside the Fengtian Palace, several eunuchs and officials from the Supervision Yuan and Dali Temple quickly came in.

Several eunuchs knelt on the ground and shouted: "Lord Yu, under the locust tree in Bachelor Fan's house, many field deeds, land deeds, and silver tickets have indeed been found. ”

"This is stolen goods, and I invite the prince to take a look."

With that, the eunuch raised the stolen goods in his hand.

The crown prince's expression changed drastically, he couldn't sit still anymore, and suddenly stood up from the dragon chair and walked down with great difficulty.

When he came to the eunuch, the prince stretched out his hand and grabbed the stolen goods, and his fat hands trembled a little.

If this is true, then what kind of pressure should Fan Qiu face?

The prince looked at them one by one, and sure enough, they were all property, and there were all kinds of agreements to buy and sell.

Zhu Gaochi's brows furrowed, and after reading it, he sighed secretly in his heart.

Baiguan is also waiting nervously.

They were also curious about whether Fan Qiu's family was guilty or not.

The crown prince looked at Dali Siqing again and asked, "Are you sure this was dug up from Fan Qiu's house?" ”

The Dali Siqing's face was ugly: "Prince, I also hope this is not ......"

The Imperial History of the Supervision Yuan said in a deep voice: "This matter should have nothing to do with Master Fan, Master Fan didn't know about it the whole time, it was just his wife and son." ”

"According to the neighbors, they still eat poor on weekdays."

Is this matter a foregone conclusion?

Yang Shiqi sighed in his heart, although he didn't believe it, but the evidence was in front of him.

Many times, although officials are incorruptible, their families do not think so, and Yang Shiqi has seen too many such cases.

Xia Yuanji shook his head slightly.

Jian Yi sighed.

Hu Ying seemed to be like a victorious rooster, with a smile on his face, looked at the prince and said, "Prince, since the evidence has been released, how to deal with this matter, please ask the prince to decide." ”

Yang Shiqi wanted to speak and stopped, he always felt that things were not so simple, but at this time, the evidence was there, even if he was a cabinet minister, it was not easy to directly shield Fan Qiu.

There was a trace of entanglement on the prince's fat face.

He wanted to continue his investigation.

But now that the evidence is there, if the prince shirks it again, it will really be a cover-up.

Thinking of this, the prince said in a deep voice: "Then everything should be done according to the rules of the Criminal Department." ”

Hu Ying's face did not change: "Yes!" ”
