Chapter 396: You are waiting for Huo Guang to betray Huo Guang, exempt from the death penalty, change the sentence to the palace, hurry up and thank you! (Ask for subscription)
In the midst of the laughter and scolding of the lively subordinate officials, Tian Yannian and Le Cheng also laughed and scolded.
This year's 40 million income, the two of them can only get a maximum of 2 million, and most of the rest goes into the pockets of the Huo family, and they also feel that the Huo family is insatiable.
What's even more odious is that Le Cheng and Tian Yannian seem to be high-ranking Jiuqing on weekdays, but they always have to look at Huo Xian's face in private.
became the core figure of the Huo Party, and he got a lot of benefits, but he also suffered a lot of anger.
In the past, in order to keep their official position and wealth, they naturally did not dare to have any complaints, but now they are just trying to save a bad life, what else dare not say?
It's not a bad thing to join the crowd of wanton abuse and vent the resentment in your heart now.
The two not only scolded the loudest, but also persuaded the subordinate officials present from time to time to be loyal to the monarch and not to be deceived by traitorous ministers.
All of a sudden, there was an eerie and joyful atmosphere in the lobby of the ruling kingo.
Most of the hour passed like this, and Wei Xiang saw that Tian Yannian and Le Cheng were doing well, so he gave them a few meat buns and a bowl of white water, which they had as lunch.
After "full of water and food", Jian Kou happened to take Dongmen Ba back, and the black account had already been copied out of the Huo family and delivered to Wei Xiang.
Wei Xiang couldn't wait to look at it, it was an eye-opener.
Six years ago, that is, the year when the Shangguan Rebellion was put down and Huo Guang became the auxiliary minister who covered the sky with one hand, Dongmen Ba began to manage the transportation business.
In the first year, Dongmen Ba and Tian Yannian handed over 20 million money to Huo Xian; Then the interest rate increased year by year, and this year, 40 million yuan was handed over.
In six years, this business has generated a profit of 200 million yuan.
According to the records in this black account, there were 1,200 people who participated in the division of the account.
Many small roles such as the city gate Sima and the captain of the northern army and the southern army can get fifty or sixty thousand yuan a year.
The county magistrates of the three auxiliary counties and the officials of each government can receive 120,000 yuan a year.
The 2,000-stone officials such as the county and the state guards and Jiuqing were as few as three and a half million, and as many as one or two million.
And Jiuqing and the officials who guarded these 2,000 stones took no more than 500,000 yuan a year; Sima's annual income at the city gate is less than 30,000 yuan.
Compared with this, the black money that Huo Xian gave them would of course make them look at the Huo family.
Don't look at this Le Cheng and Tian Yannian are indignant in the hall at the moment, the money they have received is already very considerable.
Of course, the one who gets the most share has to be the Huo family, who can share half of the black money every year.
In this way, just this black money, in a few years, Huo Xian took about 100 million yuan on behalf of the Huo family.
Coupled with the various rewards and bribes of other courtiers, in the past five or six years alone, the Huo family's greedy money has at least 150 million yuan, which is really a splashing wealth.
It was with this huge amount of money that Fan Mingyou and Huo Yu were able to recruit so many daring people in the army and raise a large number of dead soldiers and private soldiers.
Even today, in this Chang'an City, there are still many people of the Huo family hidden.
Of course, men and horses piled up with silver coins are like made of sand, which cannot withstand any wind and waves.
The rebels of Beidi County and Anding County were defeated so quickly - Han Zeng naturally had merit, but the rebels were originally a rabble, scattered in a mess.
With this black account, not only can Huo Xian and Huo Guang's crimes of greedy ink be cured, but they can also be searched for according to the map, and all the small characters in the generals and the DPRK can also be arrested.
After Wei Xiang finished reading the black account, his expression that was still pleasant just now immediately became stiff.
Looking at Tian Yannian and Le Cheng's eyes, they suddenly became gloomy, and they wished to kill them directly in this hall.
However, he suppressed his anger and did not directly attack the two for the time being, but first brought Dongmen Ba for interrogation.
"You are just a nameless person, how can He De be matched with a tyrant character, at first glance he is a treacherous person, I am afraid he will not confess without a big punishment!"
"Come on, the East Gate tyrant will be punished by a hundred lashes, first finish the fight solidly, and then the official will come to interrogate!"
"Yui!"
When the two warring Dongmen Ba Deng, they cried and begged for mercy, and the sound of wailing lingered around the beam for three days.
Several of the big-shouldered and round-waisted officials listened to his pleas for mercy, pressed him to the ground with their hands and feet, and beat him firmly.
Dongmen Ba is about forty years old, pampered and pampered as a good official on weekdays, white and fat like a fat pig, where has he suffered such a hardship, after a hundred lashes, there is only half a life left: tears, saliva and feces and urine all over the ground.
At this time, Wei Xiangcai began to ask, and Dongmen Ba, who was still wailing, immediately told all the twists and turns in the carriage and horse transportation camp.
In fact, the joints in it are very simple, it is nothing more than Huo Xian coming forward to smash the door, Huo Yu and Huo Yun with private troops to intimidate, Dasi Nong and the former Shaofu escorting the official, and the Dongmen Ba actually operates.
Of course, all of this is inseparable from Huo Guang, if Huo Guang is not in power and stands at the top of power, how can Huo Xian be a fox and a tiger?
With human and physical evidence, the corruption case was handled smoothly, and there was no problem with the conviction.
In the "Han Law", the greedy ink should be punished by the "Law of Theft": if you are greedy for more than ten gold, you can be sentenced to abandon the market.
One gold is not more than 10,000 dollars, and 150 million dollars is 15,000 gold.
In this way, this corruption case alone can exhaust the privilege of Huo Guang's hand to avoid death.
Wei Xianggang heard the subordinate official who went to get the black account mention it, and learned that Huang Ba had been raided by Huo Zhai, and Huo Xian had also been arrested.
Then, just wait for the number of the Huo family's children to be ascertained, and then they can be finally convicted.
"Jian Kou!"
"The lower official is here!"
"Tell the Duke of Zhijin Wu An, and ask him to arrest all the prisoners and bring them to the prison according to the list in this account book, and there must be no mistake or omission!"
"If the number of pavilion guards in your hands is not enough, you can ask the Sanfu Yamen and the Sanfu Duwei to assist, and if you are not in Chang'an and Sanfu, you can immediately ask the Shangshu Department to issue a letter of arrest to the county temple where the prisoner is located, and you must arrest them all!"
"Yui!"
Arresting all kinds of criminals is the duty of Jin Wu, and Wei Xiang asked An Le to do it, which can be regarded as giving him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
If you want to make meritorious contributions, you must look at both your personal efforts and the choices of history -- this An Le is the best representative figure.
How to sentence Huo Guang is something that the Son of Heaven has to consider, and Wei Xiang can only give opinions for the Son of Heaven's reference and consultation.
But now these two criminal officials in the hall, Wei Xiang can give them a result immediately.
"Tian Yannian, Le Cheng, the two of you are indignant when you say it, but you don't take a penny less from this black money!"
"Lecheng shares six million dollars in six years, and Tian Yannian shares ten million dollars in six years!"
"There is a clear provision in the "Han Law and Theft Law" that if you are greedy for ink and more than ten gold, you will abandon the market."
"You two, just wait for the clan to be wiped out!"
Wei Xiang's four sentences made the overly excited Le Cheng and Tian Yannian stunned on the spot.
Only then did they suddenly come back to their senses and figure out their true identities, they were not innocent ordinary witnesses, but Huo Guang and Huo Xian's comrades.
At that moment, the two hurriedly kowtowed to Wei Xiang, and kept begging the Son of Heaven for mercy and begging Wei Xiang to help intercede.
"The sins committed by the others should have been exterminated by the clan, all the family assets should be confiscated for the use of the state, and the daughters and children should be punished as official slaves."
"I think you two are honest, this official will ask the county official to be kind and spare you a life, but the palace punishment is inevitable, and your relatives can suffer for a few less years, maybe they can leave you a bloodline."
For men, palace punishment is even more terrifying than the punishment of the palace, so Wei Xiang just said this sentence indifferently, and immediately won a burst of applause from everyone in the hall.
And Le Cheng and Tian Yannian have already been scared to the point of being like dirt.
They originally wanted to ask for mercy, but after they opened their mouths, they didn't know where to start, and finally they were so frightened that they fell on the ground and retched.
At this time, Shuzuo, who wrote the war, presented the warbook, which was more than ten pages thick, to Wei Xiang for viewing.
The facts of the case are recorded in great detail in this book, and the number is also very clear, as well as the confessions of Dongmen Ba and Le Cheng and others, as well as the verdict made by Wei Xiang, which is simply flawless.
"Draw a few of them!"
"Yui!"
Tian Yannian, Le Cheng and Dongmen Ba, who have softened into a puddle of mud, can't even hold a pen steadily, and they can't write their names at all.
In the end, they had to press a mudra and draw a circle on the confession with a pen - but none of the circles drawn by the three men were round.
"Prison in prison!" Wei Xiang said.
"Yui!"
Naturally, the onlookers were in a commotion and cheers, and some even wanted to rush up and fight the three of them.
If it weren't for the fact that more than a dozen Facao officials hurriedly stopped and stopped, Tian Yannian and the three of them would probably have been killed on the spot.
Looking at the messy hall, Wei Xiang stood up from the couch, he looked at the book, confession and account book in his hand, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
The Huo family also copied it, and the corruption was also investigated, I don't know if Bingji's side can find out something from Huo Yu's mouth.
Although the crime of greedy ink can already sentence Huo Guang and others, the Son of Heaven must feel that it is not enough.
One chapter will be posted at noon today, and the other two chapters will be sent in the evening!
