Chapter 167: Accepting Bribes on the Street
Especially the two people of the Liu family, their eyes were shining, and the thirteenth prince walked up to Xue Yutang with a smile and whispered in his ear: "Xue Yutang, it's almost done, otherwise this old guy will be spilling and rolling, and things will be difficult to clean up!"
Xue Yutang sneered: "Splash and roll, do you think he dares?"
The thirteenth prince hurriedly said: "No matter what you say, he is also the emperor, if you really do that, I will not be able to deal with it, and the third brother will not be able to get off the stage, you should raise your noble hand!"
Xue Yutang rolled his eyes: "Thirteen princes, I despise you, if you weren't so used to it, how could this Zhang Wentian be so domineering to such an extent, how could the Zhang family not be able to get rid of it!"
The Thirteenth Prince sighed: "Isn't there no way to do this!"
Xue Yutang also sighed, he knew that today's matter could only be like this: "Okay, I promise you, today's matter is over, but I can't just let him go, I have my own measure!"
Seeing that Xue Yutang had already promised, the Thirteenth Prince took another step back.
Xue Yutang said to Zhang Wentian: "Since you have confessed your guilt, then so be it, doesn't the Pre-Qin Empire have another special kind of mercy for atonement, it's difficult to let you buy this cane with silver money!"
Xue Yutang turned his head and glanced at the two officials of the Criminal Law Court: "Two, how much does this cost to buy a cane?"
The two officials of the Criminal Law Court suddenly heard Xue Yutang turn his head and ask them, and blurted out in fright: "Two hundred thousand taels of silver and a staff!"
Xue Yutang rolled his eyes and began to count the money, and only after a long time did he speak: "Well, no more, no less, eighty rods, sixteen million taels of silver!"
Zhang Wentian was almost mad, he had already softened, this Xue Yutang still didn't plan to let go of himself, sixteen million taels of silver, he should be 1,600 taels!
However, Zhang Wentian still plans to endure this breath, if Xue Yutang is really unrelenting, and he can't really look like Zhang Fu, even if no one dares to cut him, but these eighty canes may not be able to hide, but fortunately, the pre-Qin Empire has already considered it, for officials to consider face, such as cane punishment can be bought with silver, but 200,000 taels of cane is not something that ordinary people can afford, an ordinary official's salary for a year is 2,000 taels of silver, and if he wants to save enough 200,000 taels, even if he dies old, he may not be able to save enough, but none of this official is completely dependent on salary, even so, 200,000 taels of silver want to take it out, not all officials can do it, the most important thing is that there is a reason for the cane, at least twenty canes, which is an astronomical amount.
The Zhang family can naturally afford it, but the problem is that Zhang Wentian never dreamed that one day he would also be sentenced to a cane.
"According to the laws of the pre-Qin Empire, if no one reports this crime of losing things, how should you deal with it?" Zhang Wentian did not answer Xue Yutang's words, but instead asked the officials of the two criminal law courts.
The two naturally knew what Zhang Wentian meant, but they felt that it was a little unrealistic, but they still replied: "If no one reports it, this criminal law court will naturally no longer pursue this matter!"
Xue Yutang watched coldly and no longer pursued it, how could this loss of the imperial holy relic be compared to ordinary theft, this was blatant favoritism, but Xue Yutang did not intend to continue to dwell on this matter.
"Xue Yutang, how about we discuss something, 10 million, I'll give it to you, how about you don't pursue this matter anymore?"
Zhang Wentian's operation of blatantly bribing the whistleblower made everyone present stunned, how far can a person ignore the laws of the pre-Qin Empire before he dares to openly say such shameless words.
But something happened that everyone didn't expect, Xue Yutang actually agreed: "Okay! But you have to give me the money now, I'm afraid that you will pay the bill!"
Zhang Wentian originally just planned to humiliate Xue Yutang, he was already ready to take out the sixteen million taels of silver, but he didn't expect Xue Yutang to agree, which surprised him very much, Xue Yutang's operation made many people incomprehensible, and openly accepting bribes on the street, this is simply uncomfortable!
"Good...... Come on, take 10 million taels of silver with the old man and give it to Xue Gongzi!" Zhang Wentian hurriedly ordered someone to take the silver as if he was afraid that Xue Yutang would regret it.
After a while, a slave came over with a stack of silver tickets and sent them to Xue Yutang, Xue Yutang took it and ordered it, seeing that it was not bad, he nodded to Zhang Wentian with a smile and said: "Emperor Zhang is really bold, you have this matter, I won't report it!"
Zhang Wentian felt that his entire beard had exploded, it was 10 million taels of silver, and in exchange for a light sentence, I wouldn't report it!
As soon as the two officials of the Criminal Law Court saw this situation, they hurriedly packed up their things, they were afraid that Xue Yutang would do something again, so they hurriedly said hello to a few people present and ran away!
Everyone saw that the matter here was over, and gradually dispersed, Liu Daohong, the head of the household, came over and saluted Xue Yutang: "Lord Xue is really a young hero, today has opened the eyes of the old man, if he is not busy in the future, go to Liu's mansion to sit down, and the old man will be a good student!"
Xue Yutang clenched his fists: "It's inevitable to be disturbed!"
Liu Daohong said with a smile: "Then it's decided! Lord Xue is busy first, and we will go back first!"
"Good walk...... I won't send it!"
Liu Daohong turned around and left with the Imperial City Mansion Yin, and the thirteen princes grabbed Xue Yutang and said, "What do you think about accepting bribes on the street?
The two naturally knew what Zhang Wentian meant, but they felt that it was a little unrealistic, but they still replied: "If no one reports it, this criminal law court will naturally no longer pursue this matter!"
