Beijing, the He family's house.

Several major shareholders of Caijiagou are getting together at this time.

He Sanshui's face was sallow at the moment, and he sat down on the chair, his face full of frustration and malaise.

These people had heard something before they came, and they couldn't help but whisper at this time, and they talked in a low voice.

"Brother He...... I heard that the emperor sent the first assistant of the cabinet and the head of the household department to Yongping Mansion, is it true? ”

He Sanshui made a bitter face and nodded: "It should be ......"

"Qian'an, isn't there any news?"

"There is no news yet, and it is possible that it will ......"

He Sanshui breathed a sigh of relief and said weakly: "The worst case is that it may ...... They can't send a message anymore. ”

When the crowd heard this, they were in an uproar.

"It's not going to be that bad, is it?"

"Will it ...... It's just a routine round......"

"I've survived before, so there shouldn't be any problems this time, right?"

He Sanshui smiled bitterly: "Everyone, don't be lucky now. ”

"That'...... What should I do? ”

He Sanshui thought for a while and said: "So far, this catastrophe can't be avoided, only, only ......"

"The only way? Brother He, don't sell it! ”

"The only way to take out the money in your hand is to buy off those big men in the court!"

"But...... The first assistant of the cabinet and the head of the household department ......"

He Sanshui looked at everyone and said slowly: "As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, how did the stocks in our hands rise, everyone knows it, since you can buy the official book, why can't you buy the household book?" Everyone can clearly mark the price, if one million is not enough, five million will be paid! If five million doesn't work, just give ten million, I don't believe it, there are still things in this world that can't be solved by silver! ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, although I am reluctant in my heart, but I also know that now silver and life can only choose one of the two, and if the silver is gone, you can earn it again, if this net worth is gone, there will really be nothing!

He Sanshui continued: "My original intention in doing this is to leave a way back for ourselves, after all, the cunning rabbit still has three holes, we have earned too much silver, it has reached a terrifying level, if you don't take it out, how can you escape this catastrophe?" ”

Everyone was silent, and the hall fell into a deathly silence.

Finally, someone began to cry, and couldn't help but say: "That dog emperor is simply unreasonable, he wants to start a new policy, everyone follows him to a new policy, and now he is so harmful to us, this is really ...... Is...... Alas! ”

He Sanshui waved his hand and said, "At this time, what's the use of saying this? Now that life and death are at hand, there is no room for us to say these words of anger here. ”

Someone stood up and saluted He Sanshui with a miserable face: "Brother He is right, I have three million shares in my hand, and I am willing to take them out, but I am sent by Brother He!" ”

"I have five million in my hand, as long as I can survive this catastrophe...... Alas, silver is, after all, something outside the body. ”

Everyone had no choice but to take out the stocks in their hands, it doesn't matter how much silver these stocks are worth, and it is impossible for them to cash out in a short time, and now the fastest and most convenient way is to send these stocks directly to the hands of those big men in the court.

He Sanshui nodded and said, "I'll go to find Brother Tang now, he knows a lot of people, there must be a way to send these stocks out, let's go back and wait for news!" ”

At this time, the shareholders understood that the silver would not be saved, so they did not say anything more, and dispersed with a heavy heart.

He Sanshui looked at the lobby that quickly became empty, and couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, he didn't expect that he would come this far.

At first, I just wanted to sell the mine and buy stocks.

As a result, Tang Ziqing came to the door, and after some lobbying, he found out that buying stocks was just a small fight, and if you want to make money, you have to sell stocks!

After Caijiagou Mining was listed, its net worth doubled and doubled, and it made huge profits in just two months.

After that, I found that I was playing bigger and bigger, and looking at the countless wealth in my hand, I realized that I was taking chestnuts from the fire...... Today, there is no choice.

He closed his eyes a little tiredly, slowed down for a while, and then opened his eyes again, took a slow sip of tea, and then got up and walked out of the hall quickly.

"Prepare a sedan chair and go to the willow alley in the east of the city!"

At this time, it was dark, He Sanshui sat in a sedan chair, swayed to Willow Hutong, and suddenly clanged, as if stepping on a big pit, and threw him out of the sedan chair.

"What's going on......"

He Sanshui covered his head and was about to scold, when he saw a circle of people around him.

Through the dim light, it was obvious to see these people carrying knives in their hands, which made people shudder.

"Hero...... Spare ......"

He didn't even have time to think about why there were bandits in the city.

"He Sanshui, right?"

"Yes, yes......"

"Come with us!"

"Go...... Where are you going? ”

"Beizhen Mansion Division, Zhao Prison!"

He Sanshui was startled, and slowly raised his head, these people in front of him ...... Who else could it be if it wasn't Jinyiwei?

"Spare my life, I...... The villain has something to say! ”

"Say what you want to say, hurry up!"

He Sanshui gritted his teeth and said, "This adult, the villain has five million shares of Caijiagou's stock in his hand, and he is willing to pay filial piety to ......."

Syllable!

He Sanshui hadn't finished speaking, he only felt that his face was hot, a mouthful of old blood spurted out, and he had two teeth.

The officer in front of him was looking at him coldly with a scabbard in his hand, a few drops of blood on it.

"Bring it back to Zhao Prison and torture it!"

"Yes!"

-----------------

Late at night, Qian'an County.

Cao Nai and Jin Lian came to the county government and ordered people to tie up the prefect Chen Shiqing and the county magistrate Yang Guan.

Yang Guan was already trembling with fright, and he couldn't say a word.

Caijiagou is under the rule of Qian'an County, and if such a big thing happens, he must be inseparable from the county.

What's more, when he was in the mine, the king's steward personally admitted that he had taken other people's money.

It was the prefect Chen Shiqing, although he was scared, but after all, he had seen the world, and at least he could deal with it calmly.

Jin Lian took the accompanying scribes to check the accounts, and Cao Nai came to the lobby to interrogate overnight.

"Chen Shiqing, don't you really know about Caijiagou Mining?"

Chen Shiqing prostrate on the ground and said with difficulty: "Xiaguan, it's really, it's ......."

Syllable!

Cao Nai was shocked and said angrily: "So far, what are you still hiding? ”

Chen Shiqing sighed and said, "Xiaguan knows. ”

"Tell me, what do you know?"

"These people are bold, the so-called mining, in fact, is just a fish and a pearl, everything is fake, they want to take advantage of this, defraud money, the lower officials have traveled all over the ancient and modern, I have not heard of the courage to do this, but ...... It's just that...... The lower official is just a mere prefect, what is it in the face of such an intertwined network of relationships? At the beginning, after the lower officials learned what these people had done, they couldn't sleep all night, for fear that the incident would happen and a catastrophe would come, so they didn't dare to join them in the same stream, nor did they dare to ask. ”

Cao Nai sneered angrily: "What is the use of the imperial court wanting you to be the prefect, a waste-like thing!" ”

Chen Shiqing listened, but he was anxious: "Although the lower officials are wine bags and rice bags, they can say a word, and they will not vomit or be unhappy." Today, people like He Sanshui are popular, surrounded by high-ranking officials and nobles, and even call him brothers, aren't these people in the capital, above the temple? If it weren't for the protection of those high-ranking and powerful old men, how could he dare to be so presumptuous, how could he dare to be so fearless? ”

"If you really want to talk about the crime, the civil and military forces in this world, even if they line up from the capital to this Yongping Mansion, it will not be the turn of the lower officials! Xiaguan is just a small prefect, what is it for people above the temple? On the contrary, the subordinate officials did not go along with them, and they were already loyal to their duties! ”

Cao Nai said angrily: "You are still quibbling? Since you know it's a scam, why don't you play the court and expose them? ”

Chen Shiqing smiled instead: "How did Lord Cao let the lower officials expose it?" The report is sent up, which is not equivalent to being sent to He Sanshui's hands, up and down the court, how many people have benefited from him? How many people, whose net worth and life are tied to him, if the lower officials are played, they will either be dismissed or die in vain! ”

"As the saying goes, cutting off people's financial routes is like killing their parents, how many people in the court have Cai Jiagou's stocks in their hands, and they dare to check it with a prefect in Xiaguan District? To put it mildly, the lower official has his parents in the hall and his wife and children on his side, so he has to take an egg to touch a stone and die to prove his innocence? ”

Cao Nai's teeth were so angry that he smacked his teeth: "In this way, are you still reasonable?" ”

Chen Shiqing shook his head and said: "The lower officials are just telling the truth, if Lord Cao thinks that the lower officials are derelict in their duties, then may I ask, as the first assistant of the cabinet and the head of a hundred officials, if such a thing occurs in the court, is your dereliction of duty even more serious than that of the lower officials?" ”

Cao Nai's face suddenly turned red, and he wanted to say that it was all the fault of the corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and that He Sanshui should be damned, but after thinking about it carefully, what people said also made sense.

This case involved too many ministers of the DPRK and China, and it was no longer a matter for the prefect to intervene, and as the first assistant to the cabinet, he only discovered the problem today...... No, it was the emperor who found out that there was a problem and sent himself over to check.

From this point of view, Chen Shiqing is right, he is indeed derelict in his duties, the first assistant of the cabinet.

He let out a long sigh and continued to ask: "Up and down this Yongping Mansion, how many people collude with that He Sanshui?" ”

Chen Shiqing thought for a while and said: "At least more than half of the officials, big and small, may even be seventy or eighty percent. ”

Cao Nai asked again: "Do you know all the situations of these people?" ”

Chen Shiqing didn't think about it, and replied: "The same acquaintances in the house, and then to the officials such as Xuezheng, Register, Military Craftsman, Post Delivery, Ma Mu, River Canal, Ditch Defense, Inspection and Inspection, etc., who colluded with He Sanshui, although the lower officials do not care about it on weekdays, they are clear in their hearts. There are also county orders and county officials in each county, who is close to them, and the lower officials also know. ”

Cao Nai couldn't help but scold angrily: "I only know now, it can be seen how cunning you are!" ”

Chen Shiqing simply put on a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, and did not return the mouth.

Cao Nai thought for a while and said, "The old man wrote a note overnight, and he will directly submit it to the imperial front early tomorrow morning." Don't be idle, make a list, take people overnight, and don't let anyone go. ”

Chen Shiqing nodded and said, "The list is ready-made, the question is who will carry it out?" With all due respect, the three shifts here are afraid that they will not be able to move. Either the yang is in disobedience, and as soon as the order is passed down, they go to the informant. ”

Cao Nai's face darkened, and he said: "You don't have to worry about this, there are Jinyi guards, you take the list out, and they will take people immediately." ”

Chen Shiqing thought for a while, and then said: "Xiaguan saw it during the day, there are not many Jinyi guards accompanying him, I'm afraid it is not enough......

"What, they still dare to resist?"

"This ...... It's hard to say......"

Cao Nai finally realized the emperor's mood at this time, why did he be ruthless and kill when dealing with the smuggling of eucalyptus in Jiangnan.

It seems that sometimes it's really hard to move a little bit of realism!

"Jinyiwei is not a good man and a woman, don't worry, Commander Yuan has already told the old man before leaving, this eucalyptus is too bad, and it may even ruin the new policy of the imperial court, so they will not show mercy, but anyone who resists or disobeys will be killed!"

Chen Shiqing nodded suspiciously, he didn't believe that Jinyiwei would really kill on a large scale, but it didn't look like he was bluffing.

Anyway, he just needs to cooperate, whether Jin Yiwei dares to arrest people, whether he dares to kill people or not, it has nothing to do with him.

That night, a large number of people suddenly began to appear in Qian'an County, and for a while, chickens and dogs jumped, and there were wails everywhere.

Quietly, the night became noisy, and every now and then gunshots could be heard.

This means that someone who tried to resist was executed on the spot.

Inside and outside the city, people were arrested everywhere, and for a while, everyone was in danger.

Early the next morning, according to preliminary statistics, hundreds of people had been arrested, and they were still continuing.

Cao Nai finally understood a truth, whether it is the old system or the new policy, there is always only one reason for problems in the imperial court, and that is people!

Man's greed is endless, and when a person has received a benefit, he will not stop there, because he will always want more.

Just like He Sanshui, he was just mining to make money at first, and then he felt that the profit of mining was too low, so he would think about going public, and when the listing and selling stocks still could not satisfy their desires, they would use their advantages to grab more.

The matter has come to this point, there is nothing to say, the trial should be judged, and the judgment should be judged.

As for what law does not blame the public, hehe, it doesn't exist!

What the emperor hates the most is the four words that the law does not blame the public, and now, Cao Nai also has a deep understanding.

If you break the law, you break the law, and whoever cares about you is not in the crowd.

If one person violates the law, he will be sentenced, but if a group of people break the law, they will be fine?

What a reason!

Three days later, the Jinyi guard escorted a group of prisoners and marched towards the Jingshi.
