Chapter 261: Witnessing the Dynasty
Zhou Ji was furious:
"Don't confuse the facts here!"
"I really didn't do it, the clear ones will clear themselves, the turbid ones will be turbid, Your Majesty will decide!"
Xiao Chen is also happy:
"Why don't I feel like you're a purifier?"
"I think you're a foul of stinking mud! I can smell it from so far away! ”
Zhou Jidu was almost mad, and his body trembled:
"Clean your mouth for me!"
Xiao Chen didn't talk nonsense with him anymore:
"Okay, okay, you little hairy boy don't talk to me here!"
"Don't you want proof! Then you should ask Gonggong Chen if he has found any evidence."
"Gonggong Chen is a henchman next to His Majesty, and he is also a first-class chief eunuch, he is not the kind of person who has no purpose!"
Xiao Chen's words can be regarded as a reminder to everyone.
Yes!
The person who found out about this matter was Chen Jin!
Who is Chen Jin, will he be targetless?
Everyone turned their attention to Chen Jin in unison.
Chen Jin's eyes looked very calm, and he saluted Chu Yanwu:
"Your Majesty! Listen to the old slave! ”
Chu Yanwu also smiled slightly, and said:
"My companion has been serving me for many years, and I believe that he won't make things up."
"Ome, tell me what kind of evidence you have collected!"
Everyone felt their hearts tighten.
and the people of Zhou Tianfu's faction couldn't help but hang their hearts.
Chen Jin smiled, took out a booklet from his sleeve, he held it in front of him with both hands, and said:
"The properties recorded in this booklet are all owned by Zhou Tianfu and Zhou Tianfu's son Zhou Ji!"
"If you don't believe it, you can follow this booklet to check, the direction of funds behind the scenes, the flow of personnel, are inextricably linked to the Zhou family!"
Chen Jin's words were like a thunderbolt exploding.
Baiguan glanced at the booklet in Chen Jin's hand.
Thick book......
How many industries does Tianfu have this week?
And Chu Yanwu nodded.
A small eunuch next to him quickly took the booklet and handed it to him.
Chu Yanwu looked at it for a while, and then said in a cold voice:
"Is this true?"
"Zhou Tianfu and Zhou Tianfu's son have so many properties? A year's income on the surface is worth one-tenth of the treasury, and the most powerful businessman in the world can't compare with him! ”
His face was very ugly.
Although he had already known the contents of the booklet, he now "didn't know" and had to pack it anyway.
And the civil and military officials present also gasped.
Even if some people stand on the same faction as Zhou Tianfu, it is the same.
A tenth of the treasury!
It's just a payout on the surface...... Zhou Tianfu, you are very six!
At this time, Zhou Tianfu also spoke:
"Your Majesty, you can tell from this sentence that this is wronging the old minister!"
"How much money can a businessman make? One-tenth of the treasury, how can the old minister have that ability? ”
"Father-in-law Chen, if he doesn't say a little bit, the old minister won't refute this!"
Actually, this is not without mistakes......
But in fact, Chen Jin showed only more and no less.
Zhou Tianfu makes more money than just clean money...... There are even some undesirable black money.
For example, buying and selling slaves, lending usury, inducing people to gamble, and cultivating "thin horses" to bribe and blackmail other officials......
Chen Jin doesn't talk nonsense anymore:
"Then I'll get a witness!"
"Do you know who these people are?"
Only then did everyone realize that Chen Jin had actually brought a few people over, and they were also curious in their eyes.
Chu Yanwu also frowned and asked, "Who are they?" ”
Chen Jin said with a smile:
"They are actually the henchmen of the Zhou family who are in charge of the Zhou family's industry!"
"They are all in charge of these industries, and they know very well what they are like, and they can even take out detailed account books!"
Chu Yanwu's eyes narrowed slightly: "Let them say, tell me what the situation is!" ”
Chen Jin brought those people over.
A few ordinary people did not wear silk brocade, but the cotton clothes they wore were also fine and gorgeous, and they were probably the kind of rich businessmen.
One of them knelt on the ground and said:
"Your Majesty, the villain's name is Shen Qiu!"
"I'm the servant of the Zhou family who is in charge of the cliff line!"
"I am the son of the Zhou family, over the years, I have earned more than 900,000 taels of silver for the Zhou family, and I have handled no less than tens of thousands of slaves!"
After this sentence was thrown out, everyone was shocked.
Nine hundred thousand taels ...... In other words, one person in his hands can sell it for dozens of taels of silver?
Zhou Ji immediately retorted: "What kind of slave is he selling, how can it be so expensive?" ”
The man said with a sad face: "Actually, there are actually no less than tens of thousands of people I have to get over in a year, but the selection and cultivation are all Gu cultivation!" ”
"For example, to cultivate dead soldiers, it is basically ten to produce one! And that kind of skinny horse with good looks is one in a hundred, one in a thousand, or even one in a thousand! ”
"And the good female slaves we have cultivated can be sold for a thousand taels of gold casually!"
The officials frowned.
There are some really honest and kind officials, and they even scolded in their hearts.
Is this a human being?
It's a brute!
Although the slave trade was not prohibited in this dynasty.
However, what do you want to do like raising Gu?
Don't you treat people as people!
This is still the first, and as for the second person, it is a handsome man.
He looks quite elegant, but as soon as he speaks, it also makes people collapse:
"The grass people's name is Le Qingliang, he is Zhou Ji's friend, and he is also the person in charge of the Fengyue industry under him!"
The corners of Xiao Chen's mouth twitched.
Wait, isn't that person Le Qingniang?
Who investigated this, and why don't you even know if this guy is a man or a woman......
And the most important thing is that Zhou Ji's kid looks like a big eyebrow, and he is still a broken sleeve who likes to engage in Longyang!
What a human being who is unseemly!
The civil and military officials present and even Chu Yanwu also had strange eyes.
And Zhou Ji's face was even more angry, and his hands couldn't be placed:
"You bastard! What do you say, you are going to stain the innocence of this official! ”
The handsome man Le Qingliang smiled bitterly:
"Zhou Lang, don't blame me, I really don't want to identify you!"
"But if I don't, I'll be miserable, miserable!"
"Your love for me, I can only repay it in the next life......"
Xiao Chen got goosebumps when he heard this, and the other officials were even more chilled.
As for Zhou Ji, he couldn't hold it anymore, and a mouthful of reverse blood surged up his throat, and he almost didn't vomit it.
It took him a lot of strength to hold back his scream:
"That's slander, slander!"
Xiao Chen smiled:
"I don't think it's slander...... This son surnamed Le is sincere, it's just a pity for me! ”
