"There won't be any problems!"

"A housekeeper, if he dies, he dies, and without evidence, he just hit a tree."

"Just let the subordinates keep their mouths tight."

Chen didn't take it to heart at all, almost inherently thinking, or treated it as a trivial matter, not at all.

"That's all I can do, try to keep a low profile in the past few days, don't show your head, and wait until this incident is over."

"I'll deal with something else, and let the people below stop talking too much and bother Madame to warn one or two."

"Hmm."

When things caught up, things became complicated for some reason, and Chen was a little unreasonable, and he didn't mess around.

also knew what Chen Ting was going to do, so he turned around and walked out of the door to greet the people below.

After Chen left, a figure suddenly flashed in the corner, and then quietly lay in the corner.

Chen Ting sat for a while, as if thinking about something, and after a while, he walked towards the study.

In the study, Chen Ting walked to the wall where the paintings and calligraphy were hung, moved the paintings away, and a dark grid appeared inside.

Inside the compartment are some letters and recorded books.

Chen Ting picked up the letter and looked at it carefully in the dim light.

Then a few letters were selected, lit by the light, and thrown on the ground.

After that, reset the rest of the stuff.

Everything was as usual, but there was a figure listening to the wall.

The Chen family gathered his subordinates, and there were more than 20 people neatly, including maids and servants.

"Is there anyone else who hasn't come?"

"Wang Xiaoer didn't come, I didn't see him just now, and I don't know where he went?"

Chen frowned slightly, a little dissatisfied.

At this moment, a figure ran in the distance.

Quickly arrived.

Accusations again and again.

"The little one has just gone to the thatched house, and I ask Mrs. for forgiveness."

Pick up your fingers and cover your mouth and nose lightly, as if you can still smell it.

"Well, go over and stand still."

"Yes, thank you, ma'am."

When Wang Xiaoer entered the queue, Chen Shi began to warn.

"You've seen what happened today, and I hope you'll be rotten in your stomach."

"If I hear any rumors outside, and I know about them, I think you all know what the consequences are."

"Yes, we'll keep it in mind."

Hearing the reply, Chen's face softened slightly, and then he said.

"Later, I will go to the account, take a tael of silver per person, ask the cook to get some food and drink, and sleep well."

Warning plus hush money, that's all.

Chan finished speaking and left.

The maid and the servant were very happy, although the death of the butler was a bit sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox, but it did not happen to him, and he did not feel much.

There is not much right to speak, the little people are sad here, even if you say it, no one will agree with you and believe in you.

Besides, no one will do anything like smashing the pot when eating.

Except for the two of them.

At night, it was not only Chen Ting's family that was lively.

Today, in response to the joint warning of Tianfu and the Terracotta Division, it has also reached the ears of all families.

There are doubts, there are worries, and there are those who don't take things seriously.

But more or less they have warned their own people.

Let those who have done things not go out.

It's okay at home, forgive him for not daring to rush to the door directly.

In case you go out, you will lose your own face.

Then the consequences are serious.

The night passed, and Zheng Xiong was refreshed.

When I arrived at the government office, I continued to continue yesterday's actions.

The soldiers and horses and the people from the government jointly dispatched and continued to play the board to warn.

In the court, the atmosphere was a little serious.

Lao Zhu personally called out Chen Ting, the household servant.

Then he didn't speak, just stared at Chen Ting tightly, as if there were flowers on his face.

In this way, Lao Zhu's face became more and more serious, and the atmosphere in the court also followed, which caused the situation in front of him.

There is a ghost in his heart, and the cold sweat of the Tobe squire being stared at.

After a long time, Lao Zhu slowly spoke, and as soon as he spoke, Chen Ting was scared half to death.

"Chen Shilang, let's give us three orders, don't stretch out your hand, you will be arrested if you stretch out your hand, you tell us, what are the consequences of any corruption?"

Pretending to be calm, Chen Ting spoke.

"Dismissal and investigation, and confiscation of income."

"Not enough, it seems that you still don't understand us!"

"The minister is terrified."

Lao Zhu snorted coldly.

"You should be afraid, let us tell you again, anyone who embezzles, less than sixty taels, picks tendons, cuts off fingers and hands, and fills sixty taels, will be put to death."

"For those who are more than sixty taels, we have thought of a new punishment, and we are going to skin and weed him."

"Peeling and weeding, you know? It is to peel off the skin of him and fill it with straw. ”

"Let's say that, do you know that?"

Aiming at the bright and flickering, everyone was silent, and looked at Chen Ting with a look of sympathy.

"Yes, I know."

Looking at Chen Ting, who was holding on, he still didn't know it, and Lao Zhu couldn't help but be angry anymore.

"Okay, so tell me which one you fit?"

"The minister is wronged! Your Majesty. ”

"Dare to be hard-mouthed, since we found you today, we have the evidence of your guilt, if you say it now, we can give you less pain, if not, we won't let you feel better if you want to die, do you say it or not?"

It doesn't make a difference whether you say it or not, not to mention that there is still a little bit of life, and there is only one way left.

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know, someone must have gotten slander, please let Your Majesty know clearly."

"Good! You really impress us, don't cry when you don't see the coffin! ”

"Do you think that if you burn the letters, we will take you and tell you, you think too much."

"The three heads of the warehouse, the one who has dealings with you has been recruited, do you want to see the account books found in his house?"

When it was over, Chen Ting's legs spread out and he knelt down.

The body is like a sifting chaff, and it is a trembling of fright.

Then it was like a mess of mud, crawling on the ground.

"If you don't see the coffin, you won't cry, hum."

"Come on, pull down and interrogate them strictly, and see how many other comrades there are?"

"The Chen Mansion will be raided, the men will be sent to prison, they will be beheaded on a certain day, and the women will be charged to the Teaching Division."

"Yes."

The guards in front of the hall pulled up Chen Ting, who was a mess of mud, and dragged him out of the hall.

It was only at this time that Chen Tingfang could not react, and hurriedly shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to recruit, can you let the child go."

"Your Majesty."

disgust for no reason, Lao Zhu didn't want to say more about it at all.

With a wave of his hand, the guards in front of the hall who had stopped continued to drag Chen Ting out.

Until Chen Ting's shouting voice faded away.

Lao Zhu's anger did not subside, he looked around and said hatefully.

"Corruption has been banned again and again, again and again, and it has been staged one after another in this court."

"Dare to ask your ministers, why do you teach me?"

Hu Weiyong took the lead.

"I think that when we self-examine, introspect, and reward those who report it, we should always do the most important thing, so that we can prevent it from happening and stop it."

It was Hu Weiyong's high consciousness that made Lao Zhu's mood a little better.

"Hu Weiyong, according to what you said, the Imperial History Observatory of Zhongshu Province will supervise it together, and we will go through the six parts first."
