"140,000 taels, Jin Youwen, the left waiter of the household department, has 110,000 taels alone! The household, sure enough, is a rich household! ”

Gao Yi was on the side, listening to the voice of Emperor Chongning almost gritting his teeth, and secretly felt unlucky for the people in the household department, it was already miserable enough for the account books to be exposed, who would have thought that when His Majesty was here to break his fingers and worry about money, this anger would not burn to the sky!

Emperor Chongning closed the account book, "Guangling Prefecture is one of the richest states in the world, how could this disaster relief silver need so much!" I'm afraid it's all given to the homes of those corrupt officials and gentry! ”

"You send money to me to be greedy, I will give you the money of the court to be greedy, these two gangs are doing a good business!"

His face was murderous, "Set off immediately, go to the household department, arrest Jin Youwen into the black ice platform, interrogate carefully, no matter who is involved, dig them all out, I want to uproot these people!" ”

Xuanhu clenched his fists and led the order.

Emperor Chongning looked at the account book in his hand and gritted his teeth, "I tie my hands and feet every year, quarrel and discuss with the central center like a woman about the expenses of the imperial court, squeeze out these silver taels, and they are good, just like this, my money will go into their pockets." It's all my money, my money! ”

Emperor Chongning roared angrily, and inside and outside the hall, everyone was silent.

Among the people who shrunk their necks and lowered their heads and did not dare to speak, a small yellow door quietly slipped out while everyone was not paying attention, and only returned after a quarter of an hour.

Almost at the same time as he returned, a forbidden army guard quietly walked outside the central courtyard, passing by the place where Qin Xiang was resting and waiting.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, he slowed down his patrol as if nothing had happened, "Tell Prime Minister Qin that the Black Ice Platform played the Guangling Prefecture matter, Your Majesty was furious, and sent Xuanhu to arrest Jin Youwen of the household department." ”

With a change in his face, he forcibly waited a few more breaths, and hurriedly walked into the courtyard after the guards of the forbidden army took a few steps.

Hubu, for a period of time after the overall situation of Hubu was just reversed, Jin Youwen was very depressed, and even had the urge to break the jar.

But after the adjustment of the year, he rekindled his fighting spirit, Wei Yuanzhi is not young, as long as he holds Qin Xiang's thick leg, he will naturally have the opportunity to be promoted in the future, and his future is not limited to the household department.

If you want to hold on to this thick leg, then you must make good use of your advantage in the household department to make more money for Qin Xiang and for yourself, even if you can't rise at that time, you will have enough money for the rest of your life.

With this thought, he naturally began to slowly regain his heart, and gave Wei Yuanzhi and Guan Hexiang some convenience in small matters, in exchange for their support for him at critical moments in the future.

Judging from the results of the first day yesterday, the effect is still good.

At least on the surface, no one dares to ignore him.

Tuk-tuk.

There was a knock on the door, and he shouted in, and a small head of the household department walked in.

If it was before, it would naturally be extremely difficult for such people to see him, and it was not worth his eyes, but the so-called time is different from the past, and he got up with a smile to greet him.

But who expected that the other party had a cold face, approached and whispered: "Jin Shilang, the incident in Guangling Prefecture happened." Your Majesty is furious, the people who came to arrest you from the Black Ice Platform are already on their way, and there will be half an hour at most. ”

Jin Youwen's body trembled, and the whole person seemed to have been sucked out of his bones, and his fat body slid softly towards the ground.

The other party stepped forward with a big stride, held him up, and said coldly: "Prime Minister Qin asked me to tell you." If you take care of everything, he will keep your wife, children, and family safe and take care of them. If you can't bear it, he will let you all die before he goes into the water. ”

After speaking, as soon as he let go, Jin Youwen's fat body fell to the ground and made a muffled sound.

Sure enough, in less than half an hour, a team of black-clothed knights hurried to the front of the Yamen of the Household Department, dismounted murderously, kicked away the blocking doorman, and rushed into the yamen.

Xuanhu casually grabbed a person from the household department and said in a low voice: "Lead the way, go to your squire Jin Youwen!" Be silent! ”

The man didn't dare to refuse, and led a group of men in black forward in fear.

At this time, Wei Yuanzhi and Guan Hexiang both walked out of their respective houses, Wei Yuanzhi stepped forward, arched his hand, and before he could speak, Xuanhu showed a token and said directly: "Take people according to Your Majesty's order, and explain to Lord Wei later!" ”

Wei Yuanzhi swallowed his saliva, his face shocked and not fake.

The man in black had already come to Jin Youwen's public house, and without orders, he immediately dispersed and surrounded him.

The two men in black kicked the door open, and Xuanhu immediately followed, but was startled by the scene in front of him.

Jin Youwen stood in the corner of the wall from afar, watching his arrival, with a look of resignation on his face, smiled miserably, didn't say a word, and thrust the dagger in his right hand into his chest.

Xuanhu was dressed in amazing martial arts, and he flew on tiptoe at the first time, but he was a step too late after all.

The fatal wound on his heart was gushing and bleeding, and he quickly dyed his clothes red, and Xuanhu looked at Jin Youwen, who was gradually losing signs of life, and closed his eyes in a dejected manner.

"Dead? Suicide in fear of sin? ”

In the imperial study, Emperor Chongning looked at the most trusted spy leader in front of him, and was a little surprised by this result.

In his eyes, with Xuanhu's ability, he should not make such a mistake.

Xuanhu opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, maybe Jin Youwen knew that there was a risk that the matter would be revealed at any time, so as soon as our people arrived at the household department, they guessed our purpose, and they were afraid that they would not be able to withstand the interrogation of the Black Ice Terrace, and they committed suicide in fear of crime." ”

Emperor Chongning narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, "Are you sure you didn't die first, but committed suicide in front of you?" ”

Xuanhu nodded, "Sure, when Weichen arrives, he is still alive, and then he committed suicide, and there is no possibility that someone will kill him." ”

Emperor Chongning groaned, and Xuanhu said again: "Because they have already gone to the household department, the ministers and others have checked it in the household department, and determined that in the past three years, a total of 1.04 million taels of disaster relief and subsidy funds have been issued to Guangling Prefecture through the channels of the household department, all of which are handled by Jin Youwen. ”

"At the same time, just last month, Jin Youwen also tried to reduce the tax amount in Guangling Prefecture next year on the grounds that Guangling Prefecture has suffered repeated military disasters, but was resolutely opposed by Wei Yuanzhi, the head of the household department, and was pushed back."

Emperor Chongning's eyes narrowed, and with his cleverness, he naturally quickly figured out the key, "Cut taxes?" What a strategy, I will not collect less from the people here. The extra went into their own pockets without knowing it. The people can't survive, and if they rebel, they just need more military salaries and food, and the trouble will be mine anyway! Good! Good! It's so good! ”

Emperor Chongning's face was already gloomy to the extreme, "Now that I have no proof of death, these corrupt officials and corrupt officials will be able to get away with it, right?" ”

Xuanhu opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has already thought about it on the way here, Jin Shilang is dead, and the person who received the money is broken, but the person who sent the money is still there, and the minister remembers that there is a record of the source of fundraising in Guangling Prefecture in the account book, so that this group of people can also be uprooted." ”

"Let's check, it's too cheap for them."

Emperor Chongning snorted, "You go to raid Jin Youwen's mansion, and all the proceeds are collected in the inner treasury, and then go down to check privately. One Guangling Prefecture is more than 100,000 taels, how many are there in the thirteen states in the world, I don't believe it, he Jin Youwen alone has such a big appetite. Some people eat it, but they have to spit it out. ”

Xuanhu immediately understood the meaning and admired: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Emperor Chongning shook his head, "If you really want to be sage, you won't be deceived by these moths." Alright, let's get to work. ”

After Xuanhu left, Emperor Chongning threw the account book to Gao Yi, "You calculate for me, which one in Guangling Prefecture has the most money on it." ”

Gao Yi found an abacus, crackled, and replied: "Your Majesty, the one who contributed the most money is the Shi family of Yanyang County, with a total investment of 58,000 taels in two years. ”

"The Shi family?" Emperor Chongning was stunned, "Is it with Shi Dingzhong?" ”

Gao Yi said softly: "It's Shi Shangshu's own brother." ”

Emperor Chongning's eyes were quietly cold, and after a while, he said slowly: "If you give more, you will naturally earn more." Can you give 58,000 taels, tell me, how much can he earn back? ”

Gao Yi didn't dare to answer, and bowed his head silently.

——

In the Hou Mansion of Jiang'an, Gongsun Jing, who was restless, still got up and walked to Xia Jingyun's study, knocked on the door and walked in, looking at Xia Jingyun who was reading the book, with a look of surprise and admiration, "The son can still read the book at this time, which is really admirable." ”

Xia Jingyun smiled, "I saw an extremely powerful person in the book, in order to cultivate his concentration and will, he specially picked up the streets to read books, when he could read books there, no chaos in this world could affect his concentration." ”

Gongsun Jing was surprised, "Then this person can't say that he won't be able to succeed in the future." ”

Xia Jingyun nodded, "Indeed, he finally created a great feat that shook the past and the present. ”

Gongsun Jing sighed for a while, and then realized what he was here for, so he hurriedly asked: "Childe, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu, don't we do it yet?" ”

Xia Jingyun smiled and said, "I've already done it." ”

Gongsun Jingyan looked a little uncomfortable when he heard this, and Xia Jingyun hurriedly explained: "But it's all trivial, I didn't tell Mr. Gongsun, Mr. Gongsun must not misunderstand." ”

Gongsun Jing's expression eased at this time, "If the prince needs to help, just support him." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and a henchman in the house came over, saw the two of them, first saluted respectfully, and then said: "Son, Mr. Gongsun, something happened to the household, and Hei Bingtai went to arrest Jin Youwen, the left attendant of the household, Jin Youwen was afraid of the crime, and committed suicide directly in the Yamen public house." ”

"What?" Gongsun Jing flicked up.

Xia Jingyun smiled slightly with relief when he heard this, the big pit has been dug, just wait for his teammates to help kick it again, and the Shi family will be completely finished.

There is still today, and I will strive to finish this small plot in one go.
