The Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Yushitai are interrelated, trinity-in-one national judicial systems, which are very professional.

Even if the prince cuts down the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Dali Siqing, and Yushizhongcheng, so what?

You have to find someone who is reliable and professional.

But there are no talents in this area at all in the East Palace.

In the end, it is up to Yang Du to recommend it.

The court is too short of available people.

This drawback, at a time like this, is even more obvious.

Soon, Shang Shuqian of the Criminal Department bravely came to the West Study by order.

"Chen Qian is brave, I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness Chitose, Chitose, Chitose."

Although he was summoned to the West Study for the first time, it seemed that he had expected that the prince would summon him, and he seemed to be in no hurry, paying attention to etiquette and confident.

Yuan Zhi raised his eyes and stared at Qian Fenyong for a while, and then said lukewarmly: "Lord Qian, excuse me." ”

Qian Fenyong immediately felt the majesty of the crown prince, he pretended to be calm, and slowly got up and straightened his waist.

"In the case of the Hubu Shangshu Shi Shenyi, Gu has received the official document from the Criminal Department, has the Qianda have any details about the case?"

How can you not understand?

I've done it all myself.

Qian Fenyong coughed dryly, replied indifferently with an arch of his hand, and said:

"Returning to His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister received the official letter report from the Imperial Shitai and Yang Xiang's instructions, because this case involves a senior official of the second grade, and he is also a master of Shangshu who has been in charge of the affairs of the household department for a long time.

"Okay."

The crown prince nodded, and continued expressionlessly:

"As stated in the official document of the Criminal Department, Shi Shenyi's first crime is selling officials and accepting bribes, is there any evidence?"

Qianfen Yongdao:

"The minister personally interrogated the two head of the household department overnight, and they admitted that their official positions were exchanged for silver, and each of them paid a bribe of 1,500 taels of silver to Shi Shenyi, and the stolen silver was also found in the Shi Mansion and is being sealed in the Criminal Department at the moment."

"In addition, according to the confessions of these two master books, the same case is not limited to the two of them, but there are also seven other people involved in the case, who also bribed Shi Shenyi through various channels and through the recommendation of others, ranging from two to three thousand taels each."

"After Shi Shenyi accepted the bribes, he arranged for them to be the supervisors of the household departments in Fujian, Zhejiang, Yuzhou, Jingzhou and Yunchuan, or the general manager of the Sihai Qianzhuang, which are all ironclad evidence."

The prince quietly listened to Qianfen's methodical and seemingly fair rhetoric, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he said in a somewhat mocking tone:

"Okay, the household department is really fat, any position can be sold for thousands of taels of silver, as far as the criminal department's preliminary investigation of the case of selling officials is concerned, let alone 20,000 taels of silver."

"That Shi Shenyi has been an official in the household department for decades, just Zuo Shilang is seven years, and Shangshu is one year, from this it is estimated that the stolen silver hidden in Shifu's house must be hundreds of thousands, millions or more than one million taels, that prince asked you, this time the criminal department came to raid the house, how much was found in total?"

"It's... This, that's all I've found so far..."

Qianfen Yong's breezy expression froze suddenly.

He never expected the prince to ask such a question.

In their hurry, there were only a few boxes of cash that several families had put together.

20,000 taels of silver, just sending people to take advantage of the chaos to carry it in is already a big target.

If it is hundreds of thousands of taels, it will take several large cars to fit it.

Well, I should have said it was gold or silver tickets.

But the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, everyone knows that there is no silver ticket in the official government at present, and the officials used to pay silver or gold baht, and there was no gold.

Now there are new coins in circulation, and there is no silver.

Pure gold and pure silver in kind, gradually banned from circulation.

Qian Fenyong, who had only squeezed out those words for a long time, gradually turned blue and purple.

"You're saying that the money found is just enough to meet the number of reports, right?"

Yuan Zhi grinned and sneered:

"Hurriedly filed a case within a day, then solved the case, and immediately reported it,

There are so many loopholes in the head, can it be strange if there are no mistakes? ”

"Is there such a coincidence in this world? No more, no less, what came out of the house was the amount of silver reported, and according to logical reasoning, there should be a large number of gold and silver treasures of unknown origin at home. ”

"Could it be that Shi Shangyi was greedy for such a time? has been a left-hand waiter in the household department for seven or eight years, Shangshu, I want this time, that's all? ”

The prince's last question was accompanied by a heavy palm slap on the desk.

This loud noise without warning scared Qian Fenyong and shivered directly.

"No... Not only that, but there are also things that Wechen has verified, which are clearly stated in the official documents. ”

He knew that if he didn't answer the question well, it would be over.

But after all, he has been a secretary of the criminal department for nearly ten years, and he still has the ability to respond on the spot.

"Okay, Shi Shenyi has two felonies, and the theft of the treasury silver in the household department was committed by him by taking advantage of his position, what evidence is there here?" The prince asked, flipping through the official documents.

With the lessons of the past, this thousand people have learned wisely.

Every word he utters is carefully considered.

"A total of more than 30,000 taels of official silver were stolen from the No. 1 treasury of the household department, and the yamen of Jingzhao Yin Mansion has caught the Jiangyang thief who stole the treasury silver, and after torture, these thieves confessed that it was Shi Shenyi who found them, and they stole the 30,000 taels of silver, which is also ironclad evidence."

"You said that Shi Shenyi himself personally found these thieves?"

Qian Fenyong found that the eyes of the prince looking at him were sharper than a knife.

"It's... Yes. ”

Qian Fenyong thought about it, and it was absolutely impossible for this statement to implicate the middleman again.

Otherwise, you have to find a reliable middleman, where to find it?

Can this be ironclad?

"Being smart is being mistaken by being smart!" The prince's cold voice came out.

"I didn't expect that the Central Criminal Department of the Empire would have a Shangshu like you who can even plant false accusations, if it is a yamen official everywhere, everyone is as stupid as you, and it is strange that I will not die in the end of the Jin Empire?"

These words smashed into the other party like Mount Tai.

Hearing this, Qian Fenyong was so frightened that his facial muscles twitched.

He clutched his sleeve tightly, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, where did you start with this?" ”

"Just 30,000 taels of silver, Shi Shenyi actually personally found Jiang Yang thieves, took a huge risk, and conspired to steal the No. 1 treasury, not to mention how he knew these thieves, just from the perspective of safety and dignity, he would definitely arrange a henchman to come forward and talk to these thieves, unless his head was in the water!"

The prince stood up with a pale face, walked up to Qian Fenyong, and snorted coldly:

"Do you know how much silver has been required from him in the past year to enter and exit from the household? Tens of millions of taels, plus the confiscation of the four seas of money, at least two or three hundred thousand a day, unified distribution of money, military salaries, a casual signature is millions of huge sums. ”
