The next day, the triage continued.

The first person to be arraigned was to inspect the imperial history Yingshan.

This person is not very old, just turned 30 years old, a proper young talent.

He calmly walked into the hall, bowed to several of the presiding judges, and then waited quietly for interrogation.

Chen Dong said: "You are the first person in the Inspectorate to commit a crime. ”

Ying Shan replied: "In the Inspectorate, I am definitely not the only one who commits adultery. The power of the imperial history of the new dynasty is too great, and I don't know how many people come to stammer, and there are always a few who can't resist the temptation. can not give such a big power, and the imperial history can't be checked in the local area, so it can only be reduced to a waste of rumors. ”

"You're right," Chen Dong said expressionlessly, "This case is over, and I will conduct a self-examination in the Inspectorate!" ”

"If you want to know anything, just ask." Ying Shan's calm demeanor, as if he was not here to be judged, but invited to drink tea and chat.

Wu Mao couldn't help but say, "You don't regret it at all? ”

Ying Shan said: "I regretted it a long time ago, but it was too late to regret it." No matter how big the things you have done, you have to bear it, and if you don't admit your guilt, you can only bring shame on yourself. ”

"You're a sensible person, but you've done foolish things." Pan Lianggui was quite sorry.

Chen Dong said, "Tell me everything you know." ”

Ying Shan suddenly closed his eyes, as if recalling the past: "The first time I accepted a bribe was in Yuzhou (Lingbao). There are gold mines in the mountains of Yuzhou, and the people have always collected them. The gold mines there are relatively scattered, and one is found from time to time, but it is not a big mine, and the imperial court does not set up a supervisor to collect gold, but let the general judge supervise the gold matter. ”

"Yuzhou sentenced Bi Nan, together with the mine owner Shi Jingquan, to secretly mine the newly discovered gold mine, but did not report the evasion of gold taxes in the government. When I found out about this, they were very scared, so they gave me a thousand hush money. ”

Chen Dong felt incomprehensible: "As an inspector of the imperial history, a thousand times can seal you?" ”

Ying Shan was a little helpless, and sighed: "I was in a hurry to use the money at that time." ”

Chen Dong asked: "You Guixi Ying's family has a mine, how can you be short of money?" ”

Ying Shan said: "My grandparents have been separated, and my father is good at selling money and scattering wealth, and my house is becoming more and more embarrassed. The 1,000 yuan hush money I collected was actually sent back to my little sister as a dowry. Marriage was extravagant in the land of the two rivers, especially the gentry and nobles. My father also sold a lot of family property with a generous and good face, plus I was greedy for a thousand yuan, and finally got a dowry of three thousand yuan for my little sister. ”

The officials in charge of adjudicating the case were all stunned at this moment.

Ying Shan was identified by them as the core figure in the case, and it may even involve the princess's family.

But the first time this person was corrupt and perverted the law, it was actually to raise dowry money for his sister......

Ying Shan continued: "That gold mine is not big, even if it conceals tax evasion, the imperial court will not lose a few dollars. At least, that's what I thought at the time, and I didn't feel sorry for the officials. ”

"You're a ...... Aspiring! Chen Dong didn't know how to reprimand, because Ying Shan was too weird.

Ying Shan's eyes were blank, and he looked up at Fang Liang: "If you receive one payment, there will be a second one, and you have to collect it." I applied to be transferred out of Henan and changed to another place to be a good official, but the Inspectorate did not agree. On the contrary, because Lu Benzhong was transferred to rectify the Luoyang clan, I was also stationed in Luoyang to assist in this matter. ”

"Splitting the migratory clan, the oil and water are abundant. Leaking a little bit from between your fingers is enough to eat for a lifetime. And those who were divided into large clans, knowing that their property was illegally swallowed up, dared not speak out. They even thought that this was arranged by the prince, thinking that I was making money for the prince. ”

At this point, Ying Shan closed his mouth and looked at Chen Dong, and Chen Dong's face was already as black as ink.

Seeing Chen Dong's ghostly appearance, Pan Lianggui and Wu Mao glanced at each other, and their hearts were frightened and afraid of what would be involved.

After a long time, Chen Dong gritted his teeth and asked, "Did Shi Ruchang participate in the embezzlement of the property of those big clans?" ”

Ying Shan actually grinned, and that smile was a little gloating: "He fished more than me." ”

Shi Ruchang was promoted by Chen Dong and was Chen Dong's protégé. Moreover, he listened to Zhu Ming's lectures in Guizhou, and followed Zhu Ming all the way from Guangxi to Jinzhou to raise troops.

This person is only twenty-eight years old this year, but he is already the imperial history of the Inspectorate. If you do things seriously, it is very likely that you will be a scholar in 20 years, make some political achievements, and even have the opportunity to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister!

Chen Dong didn't say a word, and his whole body trembled slightly with anger.

Pan Lianggui asked, "Does Lu Benzhong know?" ”

Ying Shan said: "Of course Lu Benzhong knows, but how much he knows, only he knows. But Lu Benzhong didn't reach out to make money, he went to check the Lu family as a son of the Lu family, and he was already poked in the back, and daring to make money from it was purely looking for death. Shi supervised the migration of the clan throughout the whole process, and his words were far more weighty than Lu Benzhong, and he was also the prince's henchman, how could Lu Benzhong dare to say half a word? ”

Pan Lianggui asked again: "Did the former political envoys of Henan, as well as the prefect of Luoyang, participate in the distribution of spoils?" ”

Ying Shan said: "The political envoy of the left cloth was just transferred, but the political envoy of the right cloth and the prefect of Luoyang were earned. It just so happened that in the absence of the political envoy of Zuo Bu, the new political envoy of Zuo Buzheng had not yet taken office, and when the political envoy of Zuo Bu was organizing the township test, he pulled me to partner with him to help the scholars cheat. ”

"A bunch of bastards!"

Chen Dong was finally broken and got up to give up the presiding judge: "Shi Ruchang is my student, I need to avoid this case, and then I will hand it over to Pan Shilang for trial." After I left, the other officials of the Inspectorate were only allowed to observe and record the case, and were not allowed to interfere in the interrogation! ”

After speaking, Chen Dong brushed his sleeves away, and he wanted to hurry to see the prince.

Pan Lianggui's head suddenly became big, I am afraid that this case will be protracted, because there are still cases in the case, and the more he fucks investigates, the more he investigates.

Shi used to inspect places as usual, and most of them have been making money.

Every time you make a profit, you are shielding a corrupt official!

And those corrupt officials must also have many cases in their bodies.

Wu Mao asked: "You are really not afraid of losing your head, it is already bold to privately swallow the family property of the migratory clan, and you even dare to stretch out your hand in the imperial examination." ”

Ying Shan smiled bitterly: "At first, I didn't dare to make it too big, and I said that I would only help one scholar cheat, which can be regarded as repaying the favor I owed before." But that stupid candidate got the exam questions in advance and actually showed off to his classmates. I couldn't bear the begging of my classmates and resold the exam questions. One resold the other, and I don't know how many copies were sold. I had been locked in the tribute courtyard and came out after posting the list, and I was so scared that I almost committed suicide. ”

"You really committed suicide, and you're a bit shameful!" Wu Mao complained.

Ying Shan said: "I knew from that time that I was going to die, and I could live one more year. Before he died, he had to enjoy his life, accepted several concubines one after another, and quietly bought a house in Henan. Now that I think about it, it's ridiculous, and the sages have read all the books in the dog's belly. ”

Pan Lianggui said to Wu Mao: "The case of fraud in the imperial examination and the case of embezzling the property of the big clan, these two cases are really too big. It must be reported to the official family for questioning, and then a separate case must be filed for detailed investigation. ”

Wu Mao shook his head: "The case is set together, and it can only be tried together, where can it be filed separately?" ”

Pan Lianggui said: "I finally understand, why they didn't kill the bartender." It turned out that the case of fraud in the imperial examination had already spread, but some people had been holding the lid. Killing a bartender doesn't work, it will make things bigger and bigger. ”

Wu Mao said: "In the next year, I am afraid that you and I will not be able to get out, and it is estimated that these cases will not be completed in a year." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

They will be exalted for it, but they will also offend a lot of people because of it!

Pan Lianggui sorted out his clues and continued to interrogate: "Chen Hong, the envoy of Henan, was also involved because of the embezzlement of the family property of the big clan?" ”

Ying Shan shook his head slowly, showing a gloating smile again.

When Pan Lianggui saw that smile, he was a little scared: "There is still a case?" ”

Ying Shan paused word by word, and slowly said a few words: "Fu-state-city-ship-division!" ”

"Fuzhou City?" Wu Mao was surprised, "After the prince inspected Shandong, didn't he check all the cities and departments in the country?" ”

Ying Shan said: "There must be a fish that slips through the net, and Houguan Chen is a fish that slips through the net." His family evaded customs duties and bribed officials, and until now there has been no incident, so naturally someone helped the Chen family cover it up. The Chen family owes such a big favor, of course Chen Hong has to repay the favor and repay the family's personal debt. ”

"Straight sissy thief!"

Pan Lianggui couldn't help but burst into foul language.

The departments of various cities and cities are jointly investigated by the Inspectorate and the Ministry of Households, and the Criminal Department is also responsible for closing the case.

Houguan Chen can be a fish that slips through the net, and the officials of the Inspectorate, the Ministry of Households, and the Criminal Department who are responsible for thoroughly investigating the customs duties in Fuzhou, I don't know how many people have been involved!

"Let's try it another day," Wu Mao said, "we have to go to the palace to face the saint, this case has scared me into confusion." ”

……

After listening to the report of the case, Zhu Guoxiang also had a headache, rubbed his face and said, "Call the prince, Chen Dong, and Xu Fuyan as well." ”

Xu Fuyan was on call around the clock, and when he was summoned by the emperor, he came faster than the crown prince.

Zhu Guoxiang said to Pan Lianggui: "You tell Xu Shangshu in detail. ”

Pan Lianggui arched his hand and said: "Xu Xianggong, the case is a bit complicated, and there are a lot of officials involved, and now the trial is only a drop in the bucket......

After the case was retelled, Xu Fuyan didn't finish listening, he was already chest tightness and shortness of breath, and he sat on the chair dumbfounded.

He looked at the emperor with pleading eyes, and he didn't know what dignity he wanted to beg.

Not long after, Zhu Ming brought Chen Dong over.

After Pan Lianggui finished talking again, Zhu Guoxiang asked, "How to check?" ”

Zhu Ming's eyes were cold: "How else can I check?" Check it out, of course! ”

Zhu Guoxiang asked again: "That Ying Shan, is there any involvement in the Dexing Zhang family?" ”

"Not yet," Pan Lianggui replied, "Ying Shan's guy is already crazy, and every time he tells a big case, a strange smile appears on his face." He knew that he would not be spared, and he intended to confess everyone. Answer whatever you ask, and he took the initiative to explain that he didn't ask, and the minister hasn't been tried so smoothly in the past few years. ”

Zhu Ming said: "After the case is concluded, inform the provinces that the gentry must not be extravagant in their marriage. In order to prepare a dowry for the younger sister, he was able to make the royal history corrupt. In the future, if the gentry marry too grandly, the local magistrate should investigate to see if they are marrying with stolen money! ”

"It's useless, throughout the ages, extravagance can only be stopped for a while." Zhu Guoxiang felt so tired, and the idea of retirement became stronger and stronger.
