Fan Min, who was standing still, heard his words, immediately reacted, and immediately retorted: "Yes, yes, how much furniture do I have to use for you, what right do you have to check me, and if you want to check, it will also be investigated by the three law divisions!" ”

It was he who was confused, and when he heard Li Wei's words, he calculated his family's expenses clearly, and he didn't react for a while in shock.

"These are not private, what's wrong with me checking, Lord Fan is weak-hearted?" Li Wei asked.

Fan Min snorted coldly and did not reply.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was high on the imperial platform, stared at them coldly, and was also surprised by Li Wei's investigation conclusion in his heart.

Li Wei used the people of the Chamber of Commerce to investigate Fan Min, he knew everything clearly, and he also had all the information that Li Wei had, but he couldn't draw such an important conclusion from this information!

In fact, at the beginning of the growth of the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce, he was very sensitive to the advantages of using the identities of these merchants to collect intelligence, so he had already sent people to infiltrate it, and arranged a lot of people to be responsible for collecting intelligence.

But with the same information, he couldn't come to a conclusion like Li Wei, it seems that there must be some ingenious methods in this that he doesn't know, and he will have to talk to this kid later!

He didn't blame Li Wei for privately investigating the important ministers of the court, this is exactly what he wanted, I just hope that this stinky boy will no longer act like a fool and don't care about anything all day long.

On the contrary, this Fan Min, as Li Wei said, has a huge wealth of unknown sources.

Where did the money come from? He is a court official, and he has a number of money, in addition to corruption, what other ways can he get money?

"Fan Min, tell us, where did you get so much money?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a cold tone.

Fan Min's face changed, and Li Wei asked him if he could ignore it, but the emperor asked, that was what he had to answer.

Zhang Zongyi, the secretary of the Criminal Department who had just come out of class and said a word, also had a bad face, and His Majesty's question was equivalent to approving Li Wei's private investigation of the minister's behavior.

"Minister, minister, is a relative in his hometown who sees that the minister is living a hard life, so he often receives some money!" Fan Min replied cautiously.

Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes, some ministers in the court are indeed quite wealthy themselves, if the family helps, then there is really nothing to say.

But Li Wei didn't think so: "Oh, that's the case, then let me ask Master Fan, how many years have you been reading?" When did you enter the official career? ”

Fan Min glared at him angrily and did not answer.

He felt that this traitor, who was originally stupid and didn't pull the machine, had suddenly become difficult to deal with, and if he asked, it was a trap everywhere, so it was better not to answer.

"He asks you, let's order you to answer!" Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.

Fan Min trembled, hesitated for a moment, and had to answer: "I have studied hard for twenty and seven years, and in the eight years of Hongwu, I was promoted to the Ministry of Langzhong by His Majesty's grace. ”

At the beginning of Hongwu, the world was initially decided, and there was a shortage of people from the imperial court to the locality, and Fan Min, who was a district of Xiucai, was directly appointed as a Zhengwu Pinlang, and placed it in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, at least the top three could be used to catch this grade.

"Oh, then Master Fan hasn't received much help from his family in the past twenty-seven years of studying, right?"

Fan Min stared at him, not knowing what he meant by this.

"Don't you feel ashamed that your relatives and family have provided you with twenty-seven years of study, and have eaten and drunk for nothing for twenty-seven years, and now that you are an official, you still want to eat them and drink them? Do you want to be a waste of eating white food for the rest of your life? ”

Li Wei ridiculed, in ancient times, a person was a laborer, and reading has always been a burden on the family.

His contemptuous gaze seemed to touch a certain nerve in Fan Min, Fan Min's face turned red, and he roared angrily:

"You fart, can they get that much land without me? Can you occupy so many shops? What's wrong with me taking them a little bit of filial piety, I take it with peace of mind!! ”

Fan Min glared at Li Wei with red eyes.

"Oh, so you helped them get a lot of land and shops, so it's reasonable for you to get this money!"

Li Wei nodded with a smile.

Fan Min's face changed drastically: "No...... I'm not, I don't! ”

"Your Majesty, Li Wei is talking nonsense, the minister's family can't spend so much money at all, this is all his slander against the minister!"

Fan Min panicked, directly overturned his previous words, and denied what Li Wei said from the source.

"Whether it's true or not, just ask the person in charge of your family to ask."

Li Wei said unhurriedly, starting from Fan Min's angry gaffe, the overall situation has basically been decided.

Fan Min is almost forty years old, and he only became an official five years ago, Li Wei knows that a "late bloomer" scholar like him must have suffered a lot of anger in the family before, and he was scolded for eating white food, waste, etc., and sure enough, he went berserk as soon as he provoked this guy.

"Well, then let someone bring his account office over!" Zhu Yuanzhang said flatly.

When this sentence fell, Fan Min's face was no longer bloodless, he knew in his heart how much money his own family spends every year, even if it is not as much as Li Wei said more than a thousand, it is estimated that it is not much different, his family's account office is just an insignificant little person, how can he dare to help him lie in front of the Son of Heaven in this court?

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished ordering Fan Min, he turned his gaze to Zhang Zongyi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, who was standing on the side at a loss.

"What did you just say?"

Zhang Zongyi's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said: "Minister, what the minister means is that even if Lord Fan is guilty, he should be handed over to the Three Law Divisions of the Criminal Department for trial." ”

What he said was reasonable, and Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't blame him.

"Well, then you will be the judge when his account office comes."

"Yes, I obey."

Zhang Zongyi secretly wiped a cold sweat, he knew that this Fan Min, who had just been acting as the head of the household department for a few months, was probably going to end up again.

In the past year, the various departments have either been killed or dismissed from their posts for investigation, and several have been changed in a year, and few can sit in this position safely.

Xue Xiang needless to say, people do practical things, don't mix with these messes, although Wei Si was out of the early stage, but since he was transferred to the Ministry of Rites, he has been invisible, if he can't make a sound, he can't make a sound, Zhao Bengang of the Ministry of War has a name, and he hasn't made much noise, and now he can say two sentences.

The prime minister is gone, the civil officials are gone, the power has been weakened, and the military generals are already low, and now they can't even fight a little traitor, and the civil servants present can't help but feel a burst of sadness.

The guards went out to arrest people, and the ministers continued to deliberate, while Fan Min was left to wait aside.

Now that he is cold, he has predicted his fate, and if he is in a better situation, he will kill his head, and if he almost peels the skin, it is not impossible for the family to be punished.

Fan Min's heart was full of misery, his eyes looked at Li Wei with a smug face, his eyes were mixed with hatred and remorse, he didn't expect this dog thief to be so ruthless, and he didn't expect him to really have the ability to deal with himself.

If he had been soft and gave him the money and food, maybe it would have been fine......

Li Wei looked at him, without showing weakness, if you want to say that he is ruthless, it is indeed ruthless, in Zhu Yuanzhang's era, corruption is very serious, but it is not like the greed of hundreds of millions in later generations, but it is only indefinite, here, corruption is often to kill the head of the company, although the legendary corruption of 60 taels of skinned grass This terrible torture is not clearly stipulated in the law, but it also depends on Lao Zhu's mood, catch up with his dragon face and be angry, it must be said that he will be peeled.

Despite this, everyone is punished for corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and Li Wei and Zhu Yuanzhang have the same opinion on this, and he never had the slightest sympathy when he saw those who were killed and skinned on the execution ground.

It is not enough to cure greed by killing, but it is absolutely impossible not to kill without killing! He thinks that he should take out the anti-drug momentum to stop corruption!

It's just that other officials don't know, since Fan Min has offended him and he has been checked by him, it must be to death!

The court proceedings were carried out in a heavy atmosphere, and after half an hour, the guards reported and arrested the Fan family's account room.

"Bring it on!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stopped the discussion and ordered coldly.

The guards took the order and brought the Fan family's bookkeeper Mr. up, this person was in his thirties, and his cotton clothes were not bad, but he was taken to the main hall by the guards at this time, looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, he was so frightened that he trembled!

The account room trembled and shouted Long live and knelt down, and finally secretly glanced at the ministers with his head down, and finally saw Fan Min standing on the side with a dead face, and immediately cast a look for help.

But Fan Min ignored him, and seeing his cowardice, Fan Min knew that he was finished.

"Zhang Zongyi, someone brought it to you, you can judge it." Zhu Yuanzhang said softly.

"Obey the order!"

Zhang Zongyi sighed in his heart, now in this situation, he can't take a huge risk to save this Fan Min, he must be tried impartially!

Zhang Zongyi came to this bookkeeper out of class and asked in a deep voice, "What is your surname?" But Fan Min's account room? ”

"Yes, yes, the villain is Kong Youqian, the account room of the Fan family."

Kong Youqian didn't care about the old man or anything at this time, but the emperor was sitting on it, and he didn't dare to lie in this situation if he was killed.

"The Son of Heaven is in person, the official asks, you have to answer truthfully! If it's false, it's a crime of deception, you know? ”

"The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare ......"

Kong Youqian kowtowed again and again in fright.

Zhang Zongyi nodded and asked, "How much money did your Fan Mansion spend last year, do you know it?" ”

"The villain is clear, clear, the Fan Mansion spent a total of nine hundred and thirty yuan last year, the villain remembers it very clearly, it won't be wrong!"

Fan Min, who had been discouraged and waiting for death early, heard this, and suddenly said angrily: "Nonsense, how could it be possible to spend so much money last year!" ”

Although he doesn't care about the money, after all, he is from the household department, and he still has a number of his own money and food, according to his estimates, it is similar to what Li Wei said, and it will not exceed 800 yuan at most.

"It's really so much, the villain and the housekeeper teamed up to get two hundred pieces out of it, and the villain remembers it very clearly, the villain is guilty!"

Kong Youqian answered all questions, knew everything, and kowtowed again after speaking.

Fan Min listened, his face turned purple with anger, okay, I'm greedy for the court, you're greedy for me, right?

"Bastard thing!! I'm going to kill you today! ”

"Shut up! It's not your turn yet! Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted Fan Min with a loud shout, and Fan Min, who was about to go up to settle accounts with his own account room, stood on the spot, not daring to move.
