"Ginseng should be burned as firewood, I rely on it!

Li Mu said.

In later generations, the price of ginseng ranged from 200 yuan to 4,000 yuan per catty, and the price was still reduced due to artificial breeding, but now, all of it is wild ginseng, and the price is very expensive.

"It can't be fake, it can't be framed by some people!" Li Mu said.

"I hope this is fake, this is a frame-up!" Li Gong said: "I thought I was a nobleman, but when I arrived at the Zheng Mansion, I knew what low-key luxury was, it turned out that I was not a nobleman, I was just a bun!"

"Let's go, let's go now!"

Li Mu said.

"It's getting dark, let's go again tomorrow!" Li Gong said.

"Let's go now, I can't wait!" Li Mu said.

"Good!" said Ligong.

The two of them acted resolutely, said to leave, and soon arrived at the Zheng family's mansion.

The Zheng family's mansion, located in the west of the city, has a huge courtyard, which looks ancient and elegant from the outside, compared to the identity of the prefect of Jinling, such a courtyard can only be regarded as low-key, and can only be regarded as extremely ordinary.

At this moment, up and down the Zheng Mansion, there are already soldiers guarding here, and the family and women are mainly in the backyard.

Entering the Zheng Mansion, there are only three entrances and three exits, about a dozen rooms, as well as the back garden, etc., which looks very ordinary.

Walking around in the courtyard at will, the furniture here, as well as the furnishings, etc., are all simple and simple, giving people a sense of plain and honest.

The people's evaluation of Zheng Yong can be described as a clean official, worthy of the name.

"Don't worry, take a look in the backyard!" said Li Gong.

As he spoke, he walked into the kitchen.

When he arrived in the kitchen, Li Gong stepped forward to open a firewood basket, only to see that there was a pile of dry firewood in it, but if you looked closely, it was a pile of ginseng.

"Ginseng is very precious to ordinary people, but to us, it is nothing, we just eat ginseng at every meal, and it doesn't cost much. But Zheng Yong is too rich, so he doesn't take ginseng to eat, but burns it directly as firewood. Li Gong said: "I'm just curious, ask the chef why he does this?"

As a result, the chef said that the folk planting of cabbage sum has a rustic atmosphere, which is not conducive to health preservation. Ginseng can be used as firewood to burn, and the baked cabbage is not rustic. After trying it a few times, the result is really not rustic, and the taste is not bad. It is said that 2,000 catties of ginseng is only enough for a month's firewood. ”

"This is the enjoyment of rich people, it turns out that I am not a little marquis, but a dirt bun!"

Li Gong laughed at himself.

A trace of anger flashed in Li Mu's eyes, and he beckoned the slave and asked.

As a result, the answer is infuriating.

"It could also be a fraud!" Li Mu said.

"It's impossible!"

"Everything is possible!" Li Mu said: "For example, if you directly throw a basket of ginseng over, and buy off a few slaves, there is no evidence, and evidence is created!"

As he spoke, Li Mu squatted down, scooped out a pile of ash directly from the stove, and threw it aside.

He took a stick of ginseng again, burned it directly, and quickly burned it into ashes.

The two piles of ash were contrasted, and the results were extremely similar.

The ashes in the pot stove are all the ashes of ginseng.

This also shows that this basket of ginseng was not temporarily moved to frame up, but used for a long, long time.

Li Mu said: "The world is not peaceful, food and clothing in many areas have not been solved, and many people die of starvation in disasters every year...... Zheng Yong acted like this, and he died unjustly!"

"How much money is copied out!" Li Mu asked.

"Not much, not much, the money is really not much!" Li Gong said: "The silver taels are less than 200,000 taels." Burning 2,000 catties of ginseng in a month, 10 taels of silver for a catty of ginseng, and consuming at least 20,000 taels of silver a month, how much money has been consumed over the years, it's really not hard to say, it's hard to say!"

Li Mu was silent.

Poverty, limiting his imagination.

The poor can never imagine what kind of life the rich live.

People die, money is not spent, and it is miserable.

As a result, many people died, and the money was spent.

After all, as in the TV series, eating fried noodles, the family didn't move for tens of millions, which is too little.

"The matter is here, it can be over, and you can explain to Your Majesty!!" Li Gong said: "The three of us, join hands to fold and hand it over to Your Majesty...... As for how to deal with it, it's up to Your Majesty!"

"Is it over?"

Li Mu said: "The matter is not over yet! The matter is not over yet! For example, two thousand catties of ginseng per month, the quantity is too large, where did Zheng Yong buy it, and Zheng Yong's unknown source of property...... The source of a large amount of ginseng, as well as unknown property, etc., all need to be investigated!"

"Do you really want to investigate? Pull up the turnips and bring up the mud!" Li Gong hesitated.

"There's no way back!" Li Mu said, "Little Marquis, you can retreat." Now retreat, return to the imperial capital, inherit your father's title, and become a generation of Liaoyuan Marquis!"

"Retreat?" Li Gong's eyes flashed with determination, "It's impossible to retreat!"

Just kidding, the title of Marquis cannot be inherited.

He didn't want the world to say that that person was the son of the Marquis of Liaoyuan, but that the man was the father of the Marquis of the Sharpshooter.

"Then let's interrogate, the soldier is fast!"

Li Mu said.

"Okay!" Li Gong nodded.

Directly arraign the housekeeper.

"Say, where did the stolen money come from, where did I buy such a large amount of ginseng?" leaning against the table, Li Mu condescendedly and took the lead in asking in the humble public court.

"My lord, I don't know!"

The official said.

"I don't know!" Li Gong snorted coldly: "Punishment!"

Punishment is simple and crude, and there may be unjust, false and wrongful cases, and people will be wronged, but it is the best way to quickly solve the case and find evidence.

Immediately, several officials from the six gates stepped forward and began to torture.

Dividing the muscles and bones, the eighteen punishments of the prison, etc., one by one tortured kung fu, one after another, there were bursts of screams, and they didn't last long, the housekeeper's pants were wet, and they were already urinating.

Li Gong said: "Confess, the sin is Zheng Yong's, why should you apologize for Zheng Yong!"

The official's arm trembled and cried: "It's not me, it's not me." I've only been here for a month, and there are a lot of situations that I don't know, these former housekeepers and ladies know!"

"You've only been here for a month, the old housekeeper knows!" Li Gong glanced at Li Mu.

Li Mu nodded.

Li Gong continued: "Old housekeeper, where have you been?"

"The old housekeeper's mother is sick and has recently returned to her hometown! I'm just temporarily replaced!" the official said, "These old ladies know!"

"Damn, why didn't you say it earlier, you wasted so much of my time!"

A trace of anger flashed in Li Gong's heart, and he waved his hand to drag this official family down.

"I can only interrogate Mrs. Zheng directly. Li Gong frowned.

"This is not good!"

Li Mu said: "Mrs. Zheng has a fate, it's not easy to do it!"

"It's hard to do it, you have to do it!" Li Gong said: "This kind of dirty work, we can't do it, so we have to ask Hua Wuying to take action, and the Xuanjing Division specializes in this!"

"I'm coming!"

At this moment, there was a sound at the door, and the flower appeared without a shadow.

When something like this happens, Hua Wuying can't sleep anymore, almost front and back.

Then, Mrs. Zheng, who was dressed in filial piety clothes, came to the front hall.

"Tell me, where did so much stolen money come from, and where did you buy so much ginseng?" Hua Wuying asked murderously while wearing the official uniform of the Xuanjing Division.

"My lord, these are all done by the husband, and the concubine doesn't know it!"

Mrs. Zheng said.

"Is it?" Hua Wuying said: "Do you think that if you are an edict, you can ignore the royal law?" Tomorrow, this official will tell the emperor to cancel your edict, and there is not much time left for you, think about it!"
