595: Pigs are fattened and then slaughtered 1
Before the eunuch could bring up the guilt fold, the cold official's body was already weak, and he fell half of it first.
Because they all know that Ye Siheng either doesn't say or do, or he just comes to be true.
The eunuch stepped forward with a book of folds and brought it to the adults.
Among them, Lord Jin's is even more than an inch thick.
No one dared to take it.
Ye Siheng held the teacup, blew the foam on it, and said slowly: "Take a good look, check to see if there are any mistakes or omissions, this king should not have wronged you." β
Still no one dared to answer.
Maybe they don't want to see it, and it seems that they can live a little longer.
Ye Siheng was impatient, raised his eyes and looked at them coldly.
This frightened the poor officials.
They hurriedly took it, but just glanced at it casually, but their faces were like vegetables, and their bodies were even more trembling.
Not only in the last two years, but even the fact that they received a hundred taels ten years ago has been registered!
Lord Jin quickly flipped through a few pages, and then he was prostrate on the ground: "The emperor spares his life!" The prince spares his life! Wechen is just ...... It's just a moment of fascination! β
Others also hastened to confess their sins and intercede for themselves.
The eunuch took back the fold and presented it to Emperor Mu Wu for inspection.
At first, Emperor Mu Wu still thought about why they were so frightened, but after a cursory look, he smashed the fold and said, "Okay! A servant of the criminal department can be greedy for 200,000 taels! Not to mention that you, surnamed Jin, have looted 300,000 taels in the household department over the years! β
Li Bin was stunned, almost unbelievable.
Because these poor officials have the most honest style on weekdays, they eat and wear everything in general, and they also look like they do things for the people.
But they were greedy for so much silver!
Ye Siheng did not forget to mend the knife:
"It's not important, this snow disaster, the household department really has no silver, Cao Ge Lao took the lead in asking the officials to donate some silver, but what about them, this king said that this donation of silver can be anonymous, but you don't cherish this opportunity."
"This king doesn't have to go through the list, he remembers how much you donated, donate three or five hundred taels one by one, to send the royal brother! It is really a crime that deserves death, and it should be destroyed by the family. β
Saying this, Emperor Mu Wu was so angry that his face turned pale.
Seeing this, Ye Siheng hurriedly asked the chief eunuch to bring a cup of ginseng tea, "Brother Huang, don't be angry, they have been used to being honest and honest over the years, and they are staring at it by the Supervision Yuan, they don't dare to spend the silver, those gold, silver and jewelry are either hidden in the other garden, or in their own basement." You'll send someone to count it and move it back to the treasury. β
Emperor Mu Wu took a sip of ginseng tea and nodded: "Yes, for the sake of these dog things, it is not worth it to be angry with my body." β
But Lord Jin and the others couldn't stop kowtowing and made a knock-dong sound:
"Your Majesty! Rajah! The ministers know that they are wrong! The minister is willing to give away all the money! β
Emperor Mu Wu said: "When death is on the verge of death, I am willing to take out the silver, what did I do earlier?!" β
As soon as he remembered that he had exhausted his efforts earlier in order to raise money for disaster relief, and he couldn't sleep at night, he was so angry that his chest hurt.
But what about them?
Donate three or five hundred taels?
Some even donated only 100 taels!
It's disgusting!
He waved his hand and said, "Drag it down, let the Supervision Yuan investigate it strictly!" β
None of these people can live.
As for his family, even if he can escape the catastrophe, he will not escape the fate of exile.
They were originally the light of the family, but after today, they will be the shame of the family, and they will suffer endless scolding.
Lord Kim and the others are still struggling to intercede for themselves.
Before dragging them down, Yu Linwei also gagged them so that they would not continue to roar and scream.
There are only three or five of the remaining poor officials.
They hold official positions both large and small.
It's not that I haven't been greedy, but I don't have a lot of money.
But they were already pale and covered in cold sweat, as if they would fall down when the wind blew.
They didn't dare to raise their heads, and they waited for Ye Siheng's judgment.
Who knew that Ye Siheng asked: "Is it still impeached?" β
Several people were stunned, and they all looked up at Ye Siheng.
It took a while before I reacted.
It turned out that it was Li Bin's matter.
An official hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Lord Wang, the minister has also done some foolish things over the years, and the minister must go back to the house immediately to count!" β
He didn't want to care about the trivial matter of impeachment.
Others are doing the same thing.
Ye Siheng was very satisfied, and his eyes were much gentler: "This king sees that you are sincerely doing things for the court and the people, and you don't receive much silver, so this king didn't take out your folds." Fortunately, this king is not wrong, you know how to advance and retreat. β
He then ordered them to carry the money to the prison late at night, so that they would not be seen and damage their reputation.
Several people wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads, moved by Ye Siheng's thoughtfulness and maintenance, they were grateful to Dade at the moment.
The officials almost crawled back home.
Emperor Mu Wu saw them retreat, and then asked, "Ninth brother, how much are they greedy?" β
"Thirty or fifty thousand taels."
Emperor Mu Wu's face changed again: "Thirty or fifty thousand taels?!" You just spared them like that? Why don't you discuss with me! Do you still have this royal brother in your eyes?! β
As the saying goes, a penny is difficult to defeat a hero, and the previous snow disaster was only 10,000 taels, and he had a headache for two or three days.
Ye Siheng said helplessly: "Brother Huang, leave someone a way to live, they are all dead, who else can call you as the emperor." β
Emperor Mu Wu was stunned for a moment before calming down, "What you said is true. β
He was holding his breath in his heart, and he was a little confused for a while.
Since they are all officials in the imperial court, it is normal to get some silver for themselves to retire, and the amount is not too large, and the successive emperors are not very good at it.
After all, people have to eat enough to have the strength to work.
If you push people into a hurry, it is easy to have an accident.
Those in power should be lax.
Li Bin at the bottom was quite uneasy.
Is this what he can hear?
But without the permission of Emperor Mu Wu and the Nine Princes, he couldn't retreat.
Emperor Mu Wu finally remembered that there was another Li Bin at this time, he looked over and sighed lightly: "Li Bin, over the years, your father has contributed a lot to the country and the people, you don't need to be too ruthless, just go and see him occasionally." β
Cao Ge's protΓ©gΓ© is half down, and according to his character, he will either die in the future to save his reputation, or he will resign and return to his hometown to retire.
Li Bin bowed his hand: "The minister respectfully obeys the emperor's teachings." β
As for whether you can go or not, it's another matter.
Ye Siheng and Li Bin left the side hall together.
Although Li Bin was a little afraid, he still stepped forward to thank him: "Thank you for relieving the siege today, and the lower officials are grateful." β
"It's just a coincidence." Ye Siheng looked at him, "Elder Cao Ge treats you like this, it is really not easy for you to maintain your original intention, and also assist the second brother to open a academy together for those poor children to study." β
