Volume 1 Chapter 20 Jinyi Wei Investigation Case

"My lord, this is the easternmost part of Renyi Fang, the place is deserted, and there are no other residents within a radius of one mile except here."

In front of a wasteland on the outskirts of the capital, Meng Che raised his eyes and looked at the white-walled mansion opposite.

The size of the location is no different from the news he got, there is no doubt that this is Jiang Pei's nest of private stolen money.

With a wave of his hand, the guards with guns and swords beside him quickly swarmed up, firmly surrounding the black lacquered wooden door and the two stone lions in front of the door, followed by his adjutant Zhang Yao took two steps forward and personally pulled the closed door.

"Who?" Slowly the sound of a servant came from inside the door, the voice was lazy and yawning, apparently unaware of the danger coming.

The black lacquer door slowly opened a small crack, and Adjutant Zhang raised his foot and kicked the door open, raised the gilt token on his waist, and said coldly: "Jinyi Wei investigates the case." ”

……

Meng Che and his subordinates entered the courtyard and looked around the situation inside the house, this house looks inconspicuous on the outside, but there is indeed a hole in the inside, pavilions, rockeries and flowing water, and the eyes are full of garden landscaping carved out with all their hearts.

I'm afraid the cost of this pomp can catch up with the palace of the prince of the court, and this is just an empty house used to hide private money.

Not long after, a middle-aged man with a fat body appeared behind the courtyard, wearing a fine ayara, wearing all kinds of jewels and rings on his hands, a small whisker on his chin, and mung bean-sized eyes that looked very treacherous.

His face was drowsy and flushed, his clothes were a little messy, he looked like he had just been woken up from a nap, and his face was full of anger, "Who doesn't have long eyes and even dares to break into this house?" ”

"Don't open your dog's eyes and see, do you know what kind of place this is?!"

The adjutant grimaced and rebuked, "Who is arrogant here? ”

The middle-aged man straightened his waist, his face was not afraid, and he scolded with his teeth and claws: "Hear clearly, your grandfather's name is Jiang Shang, this is the Jiang family's mansion, how many lives do you dare to search here?" ”

Meng Che hugged his chest and raised his eyes to look at him, sat down on the red sandalwood stool brought by his subordinates, and did not speak.

For convenience, he did not wear a flying fish suit today, only wore a homely round-necked spring shirt, and the long knife was held in his hand, and he couldn't see his identity at a glance.

Zhang Yao took out an inspection warrant with bright red handwriting from his sleeve and opened it in front of everyone, "It doesn't matter if you are the Jiang family and the Li family, this house is involved in a serious case between the DPRK and China, and Jinyi Wei is here to inspect it, and everyone else cannot be stopped." ”

Jiang Shang narrowed his eyes and glanced at the inspection warrant, snatched it, and shouted: "This house is innocent, how can you say that you will search it?" Come on, stop them for me! ”

Since it is the house where the Jiang family hides their private property, the defense is naturally tight, and the family members in the courtyard are all good hands.

The ancient people didn't dare to fight with the officials, let alone a yamen like Jinyiwei, and the people brought by Meng Che looked at each other, and they were very surprised for a while. They had been waiting for the evil ghost for a long time with Meng Che, the living king of Hades, and this was the first time they had encountered such an arrogant and domineering criminal.

With the surname Jiang and the fat difference of the housekeeper, Jiang Shang naturally has arrogant capital.

Although he is in charge, he is not an ordinary subordinate, his identity is a child of the Jiang family, and he has seen a lot of high-ranking officials and nobles, and he doesn't care about idle petty officials at all.

He squinted his eyes at the man who gave the order, and saw that he was wearing nothing more than an ordinary green riding costume, and he was quite disdainful in his heart: What good hand can a seventh-rank petty official bring?

The sound of gold and stone colliding kept ringing, and the wail was mixed with the sound of swords breaking through the air, and the sound of each sound made people's hearts tremble.

In the bloody battle, Meng Che'an sat on the chair, looking at his tough and fierce face with a smile, still not saying a word.

The brocade guards around him drew their long knives, but they just stood and did not move.

Facing the cold eyes of the Jinyi guards, Jiang Shang couldn't help but feel weak in his heart, and his face gradually turned from arrogance to fear.

These people, are they real?

It didn't take long for those good men hired to guard this mansion at a high price, one by two by those inconspicuous brocade guards, and the courtyard was full of corpses for a while, and the bloody atmosphere mixed with the fragrance of the strange flowers and plants in the courtyard lingered for a long time, which was terrifying.

Meng Che spoke slowly and said in a cold voice: "Keep your mouth alive." ”

Jinyiwei is directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, and the execution of the case is only six departments of investigation and trial, and when encountering people who obstruct the inspection, regardless of the official position and title, they can be executed without reporting, and it is natural to take care of a few family members.

Jiang Shang found out that this handsome man who was always sitting in the middle, dressed in ordinary clothes, he looked at the pair of cold peach blossom eyes in the demon, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Mung Bean's eyes narrowed, and he caught a glimpse of the pure gold token he was wearing, the shape of which combined with his age and appearance......

He stiffened, and a fat face that had been red all year round due to his body fat turned white like a trick, "Meng ...... Lord Meng? ”

His legs and feet were weak, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

The smiling king of Yama, Meng Che, this person's name is even louder than that of the princes and nobles in Kyoto, why is he here?

Who didn't want to offend him too!!

Meng Fu has been collecting wealth for many years and no one has investigated and dealt with it, how could he be recruited?!

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then bent down his fat body and saluted, "Villain Jiang Shang, is the steward of this house," he boldly asked, "No...... I don't know what we have done, how can we work for Master Meng? ”

This sounds like nonsense, but it's not.

Since he is the manager of this mansion, he naturally does not know the details of this mansion, although it is Jiang Pei's private mansion, he hides things far from Jiang Pei's private wealth.

Although Jiang Pei was dismissed and reprimanded one after another, and he was notorious because he was sued by an outer room, the big tree in Jiang's Mansion has not fallen yet, why did he come to the door to raid the house?

Jiang Shangneng served as a caretaker of stolen goods in this house, so he was naturally not an ordinary person, and he usually did a lot of things to bully men and women, and he had the same smell as Jiang Pei, which won his trust.

Because of this, he also knows a lot about the situation in the Jiang Mansion, and the Jiang family doesn't seem to have done anything offensive to him recently.

Meng Che glanced at him and said idly: "I was ordered to investigate the case, is Steward Jiang's ears bad?" ”

Jiang Shang lowered his head and took a closer look at the inspection warrant in his hand, and saw that it was written in black and white that the house was secretly hiding stolen money, but the case was not the Jiang family, but another official.

He immediately shouted that he had been wronged, "My lord, you have been wronged! This is the Jiang family's house, how can it hide the stolen money of other officials? ”

He breathed a sigh of relief, he still had luck in his heart, and made up his mind that as long as he didn't force the search today, it would not be impossible to make a lot of blood.

"Lord Meng! This is Lord Jiang's house," Jiang Shang emphasized again, reminding him meaningfully, "Don't get me wrong, it's not good to hurt the harmony of the two families." ”

Meng Che sneered, "Are you threatening me?" ”

He was not short in Jinyiwei, and the few people who dared to threaten him filled the pits of mass graves outside the city and fed wild dogs and birds of prey.

Jiang Shang broke out in a cold sweat when he asked him, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare to give the villain a few guts." ”

"It's just an adult, but this has nothing to do with the corruption case in the adult's mouth!"

He looked around at the bloody ground, and he didn't care about the life or death of the group of family members in his heart, and only thought about whether he was offending him? So he asked tentatively: "The villain was negligent for a while, and the adults were tired, why don't you please go to the backyard for some refreshments?" Take a break? ”

Is this an attempt to openly accept bribes in front of him?

Meng Che's patience had run out, and he didn't bother to listen to this person's nonsense anymore, so with a wave of his hand, someone tied him up.

Jiang Shang realized that something was wrong, and began to panic, and shouted loudly, "Lord Meng, Lord Meng, this house is really innocent!" ”

If the things hidden here are really found, he doesn't know what will happen to Jiang Pei and even the Jiang family, but he himself must die without a place to be buried.

Jin Yiwei tied him up in two blows, pushed down his fat pig-like body, and plugged his mouth with a rag.

Meng Che stood up, the corners of his mouth picked up a dangerous arc, the scabbard of the long knife slammed into his face, looking at his fat face that rose up like a watered lamb's belly, and sneered: "Whether it is irrelevant or innocent, you don't need to say that the official will check it himself." Didn't you just say that you want to look good at this official? ”

"The official has a good look, what should be searched and what shouldn't be searched will be searched, and the official is waiting for you to come and ask for my life!"

Jiang Shang's mouth made a whining sound, his cheeks were blue from the handle of the knife, his face turned red rapidly, and he wanted to beg for mercy but his face was speechless.

Meng Che saw that his face had gradually turned pale, and he didn't bother to bother with his lips and tongue, so he waved the long knife with the scabbard and slammed it the back of his neck, Jiang Pei rolled his eyes and fainted.

The other guards around him were not the slightest surprised, and dragged Jiang Shang into the distance in silence.

After a short time, the Jinyi guards who were assigned to various places came to report with the results of the search, "My lord, there are four warehouses in the backyard that have found stolen goods, a total of 150,000 taels of gold, 600,000 taels of silver, gold and silver jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and jade, all of which have been registered. ”

According to the price of this dynasty, two taels of silver can be used by ordinary people for a year, and the monthly salary of a fourth-grade official is only thirty taels.

Jiang Pei is a five-grade petty official, and it is really staggering to have such a family background.

Meng Che thought in his heart that His Majesty's treasury would have another payment, and raised his hand to take a few account books handed by another person.

"My lord, this is from the study, the last one is Jiang Pei's greedy ink to search for people's fat, and the next few books are real estate grange shops and other accounts, all of which are not different from the news received in advance, as for the last one, ......"

Meng Che raised his eyebrows, picked out the last volume and turned two pages, his eyes were slightly condensed, he turned a few more pages, looked at the familiar names one after another, and jumped to the end to take a look at the balance.

The amount was staggering, and he closed the ledger and tapped his finger against the cyan cover.

This is not Jiang Pei's account, but Jiang Song's private account.

Looking at the number on the account, if this thing is checked down, it is estimated that it will be the biggest corruption case in the seventeen years of this dynasty, and it will make the court change its new face.

If he is handed over to the Criminal Department at this time and stabbed out, he will be the head of the case, and he will be recorded in the history books.

It's just that now is not the time, he felt a little pity in his heart, and quickly calculated the way to go for these account books.

The first few copies were submitted to the Criminal Department along with the pleadings, and according to the princess's wishes, one more copy was sent to Du Hui of the Inspectorate in more detail.

As for this last one......

He waved the long knife in his hand and said in a cold voice: "This place is sealed, not a single mosquito is allowed to enter, and the rest of the people will wait to return to Beizhen Fusi to wait for disposal!" ”

"Yes!" The crowd answered.

After everyone quickly dealt with the scene, they quickly retreated, and Meng Che rode on a fast horse and galloped away in one direction, but it was not Beizhen Fusi, but another place.
