"I also know that you were forced, so I will give you a chance to atone for your sins, do you want to?" Zhu Youzhen asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, yes, thank you, long live the slave!"

"Okay, then you will pay 100,000 taels of atonement money." Zhu Youzhen waved his hand.

"100,000 taels of silver?" Liu Chao was surprised.

It wasn't that he was shocked that 100,000 taels of silver was too much, but he didn't expect that Long Live Lord would let him go so easily.

"That's right, it's 100,000 taels, can you pay it?" Zhu Youzhen asked.

"Deliver, slaves and maids smash pots and sell iron, too!" Liu Chao hurriedly said.

"Okay, your bribery crime can be exempted, then I will ask you again, where did the money you gave Wei Reverse to bribe come from?" Zhu Youzhen asked meaningfully.

"This, slaves and maids, are all ......," Liu Chao said hesitantly.

Zhu Youzhen patted the chair and asked sharply: "You are an inner court official, and you have a hundred and ten taels of silver a year, why did you save tens of thousands of taels?" ”

Seeing this, Xu Yingyuan next to him also hurriedly echoed: "Long live Lord, Liu Chao is obsessed, it is better to let the slave take him to the factory prison to sober up!" ”

As soon as he heard the word 'factory prison', Liu Chao dared to prevaricate again, and hurriedly kowtowed like pounding garlic.

"Long live the slave, the slave and maid should die, all the silver is embezzled, and a lot of it is obtained by others who bribe the slave and maid!"

Liu Chao was already a little reminiscent at this time.

Long live the Lord is going to use him to squeeze oil and water, if you want to save your life today, I'm afraid you have to spit out all your net worth and silver.

"Say! How much have you embezzled over the years? Zhu Youzhen asked.

"Long live Lord, the slave is greedy for about 100,000 ......"

"Huh?!" Zhu Youzhen frowned.

"No, the slave and maid are greedy for two or three hundred thousand taels of silver, and there are many granges and shops, how much is the total, the slave and the maid really don't know, long live the lord spares his life, the slave and the maid really didn't lie." Liu Chao said with a painful heart.

"In this case, I will not embarrass you, even with the bribe money, I will calculate 200,000 taels for you, and all the granges, all of them will be handed over, and as for the shops, I will keep them for you." Zhu Youzhen said loudly.

"Yes, slave and maid thank you long live Lord Longen!" Liu Chao knelt on the ground and thanked him again and again, and his heart was almost frightened.

200,000 taels of silver, almost all of his cash, but he saved his life and the house and shop, and it was not bankrupt.

"Xu Yingyuan, you write it down, if you can't see the atonement silver and the title deed of the grange tomorrow, then take Liu Chao to the factory prison." Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and said.

"Long live the lord, don't worry, the slave has written it down." Xu Yingyuan hurriedly said.

How majestic Liu Chao was back then, but now he has to look up to Xu Yingyuan to breathe, which makes Xu Yingyuan's heart very happy.

"Okay, you step back and call Wang Tiqian in."

Zhu Youzhen's feeling of giving orders instantly made him sound like the majestic teaching director of his previous life.

"Slave and maid, long live the lord!"

After Liu Chao crawled out, a majestic wind blew, and he found that his back was soaked in cold sweat.

After a while, Wang Tiqian knelt in the Wenhua Palace.

In terms of position, Wang Tiqian, the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant is actually higher than Wei Zhongxian's eunuch.

However, his power and status depend more on Wei Zhongxian to keep it, and he is naturally only a nine-thousand-year-old horse boy.

Compared with Liu Chao, Wang Tiqian's crimes are more and greater.

Zhu Youzhen concocted the same method, and soon made Wang Tiqian obediently admit his guilt, confessed 250,000 taels of silver to atonement silver, and handed over 2,000 hectares of Beizhili fertile land in his name.
