Chapter Eighty-Four: Breaking the Pawn
Wentu's heart was cold, it was impossible not to alarm Dalin if there was no result after such a encounter, and there was no doubt that what was in front of him was indeed clothes!
What is the origin of this, why did he pawn his own clothes? In this way, whether it is true or not, there is no money hidden in Dalin's house!
"Official, please take it!" the boss politely urged, and the order to evict the customer had already been issued. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Wentu walked over awkwardly, gently lifted a few pieces of clothing, looked carefully, and found that these clothes were not the same, ignored the shopkeeper, and sat down cheekily.
"Serve tea to the official!" The boss in the industry was not angry at all, but was still polite.
Wentu took a few sips of tea, chatted with the shopkeeper in a casual manner, and finally asked, "According to the imperial law, if the pawnshop collects the stolen goods, what should be done?"
The boss replied with a smile: "If it is a common thing, it is naturally impossible to distinguish, once it is verified that it is stolen goods, the government can seize and inspect it; ”
Wentu immediately lifted the clothes, stacked them neatly, pointed at the shopkeeper, and then pointed to the clothes of different sizes on the table, "You see, Lord Inspector ordered us to come to redeem it, but the discerning person knows at a glance that this is not the clothes of my adult, the adult is short, how can he wear such a big clothes, and the size is different, can the Lord Inspector steal other people's clothes to pawn?"
The boss was stunned for a moment, and immediately quibbled: "How do I know this, we are just pawns here, no matter whose clothes it is!"
Wentu looked at the guy who had just sent the pawn, the young man couldn't stand this cruel gaze, and suddenly panicked, no one would have expected such a meticulous person to come to inspect and guard the adult's things, just pick a few clothes and put them in, after all, it was revealed.
"Since it's not a thing of the Guardian, either it is either robbed or stolen, or your family pawn has bad intentions and steals clothes," Wentu didn't allow the boss to say any more, and shouted loudly, "Come on, close the store, search!"
"Yes!" Nie Liang agreed, and then Hula rushed in several warriors and closed the pawn shop.
The boss couldn't be reserved anymore, a stride blocked Wentu, and there were several more people holding swords behind him, "Two, I already know that you are not the ones who guard, just a few clothes, the store is mistaken, and the compensation is, it's better not to fight, otherwise ......"
Nie Liang found the flaw, he couldn't hold it back, and when he heard that this Diao people dared to threaten the people of the government, and it seemed that he would never let go of the outsiders in the hall, he waved his sword and rushed forward!
The thugs of the pawn shop also rushed up one after another, and there was an instant chaos in the lobby! The warriors around Wentu were all carefully selected, and they restrained the thugs in the shop by dividing them by two, and there was no Nie Liang fighting with the shopkeeper.
After more than a dozen rounds, the boss gradually lost his support, and his eyes showed panic, he didn't expect that there was such a sharp master in the world.
The shopkeeper saw that his thugs were trapped on the ground one after another, and Wentu was still sitting there drinking tea, naturally a more terrifying character, knowing that his general trend was gone, he laughed instead, knelt down and asked, "What is the origin of the official?"
"Government Machine!" Wentu swallowed a mouthful of tea from another world, and said something vigorous.
"Government Machine?" repeated the shopkeeper, the glint in his eyes dissipating.
Wentu stood up and walked in front of the shopkeeper, and asked solemnly, "What is Dalin's pawn, did you take it out, or did the official go to search for it?"
The shopkeeper knew that there was no escape, so he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and said in a heavy voice: "Gongdan's ghost has not dispersed, ......" As he spoke, his neck slid towards Nie Liang's Hongyang sword, and a blood streak burst open, and he almost heard the sound of grunting blood, and his body slammed to the ground!
As soon as the men in the hall saw that their master was dead, they led Wentu and others to the secret room, pushed open a heavy stone statue, and there was a secret room below, raised a torch and walked in, a row of iron boxes were placed in an orderly manner, and the warriors broke the copper lock of a box without much effort, and it suddenly appeared inside, still clothes and other miscellaneous items, and they were shaken apart, but everyone was surprised!
This is Dalin's iron box, which is scattered with dozens of silver tickets, and it is as high as more than two million!
As the iron boxes were broken one by one, Wentu's heart was frozen to the extreme, and the silver tickets of more than a dozen officials were all here, ranging from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and there was no doubt that they were all greedy money!
"Tell the princess, go straight to the governor's mansion!" Wentu gasped and shouted.
"Yes!"
When you are insatiable, there will be a sound, and where the heavenly father wields a knife, the fragrance of dung is better than money.
The notorious Dalin acted for the tiger, squeezed the military salary, bullied the people, and slandered the able, which made the princess furious, and her face changed color, and she led the government to rush to the governor's mansion with an order.
"Princess Qiyu," Wentu said along the way, "It is true that Dalin has more than two million gold, and he has been in charge of the Red City for more than seven months, and the dirty silver is no less than eight million taels, and his subordinates think it is ......."
The princess's face sank, and she interrupted Wentu and said, "This palace naturally knows where that money went, otherwise where would Dalin come from to be so presumptuous!"
Wentu stopped talking, and suddenly found that Fu Rou was also much smarter, probably following his own learning. It is this huge amount of money that makes King Bin easy in the imperial court, and he wants wind and rain, and gradually has the upper hand compared with the old prime minister.
The group entered the main hall very popularly, and Dalin immediately led people to greet them.
"Greetings to the princess......" The heroes of the red city knelt down to pay respects.
The princess also has the identity of the governor of the government and the government, and the degree of fierceness is no less than that of King Bin, and everyone is wondering, not knowing why the government and the government suddenly came to the governor's house, and why they have not received any news.
Fu Rou approached Da Lin, looked condescendingly, took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve, and scattered them one by one, one, two, three, and then let go of his hand, dozens of pieces of paper fluttered down one after another, and some fell on Da Lin's crown, crumbling, and soon they were publicized, falling to the ground, and reflecting Da Lin's eyes.
"Dalin, you are corrupt and pervert the law, your crime is extremely evil, you really live up to the mention of the court, the love of the queen mother!" Although Fu Rou's voice was low, it exploded in the hall like thunder, and some of the palace ministers watched it secretly, so frightened that their souls did not possess their bodies, it was not the silver ticket hidden and in the pawnshop!
In the blink of an eye, an old official languished and went limp!
The princess has already broken the mystery of the current line and taken out the evidence of the crime, and the huge greed in the palace has sweated.
Da Lin withdrew with both hands, dodging the silver tickets all over the ground, as if the tickets had nothing to do with him, and maintained a kneeling posture to justify: "Back to the princess, these silver are indeed lowly in the bank, but Weichen has never spent a penny, just waiting for the future Jin to the court, the lowly position is just a backhand, in case the tax is insufficient one day, it is better to use these silver to make up for the shortfall, so as not to suffer from the board of the court, but the management is not appropriate, the subordinates voluntarily accept the punishment, but there is no greed, you say, isn't it?" He looked left and right, his ball-like body dangling around.
"Yes, yes, princess, Lord Inspector is right......" a dozen officials muttered in unison.
Wentu had long known that they were attacking and defending the alliance and turning the embezzled military salaries into public funds for private storage, and this crime was much lighter, according to the laws of the dynasty, as long as there was no shortage of silver, they would be fined a few months at most.
Fu Rou was furious, and pointed at Dalin and asked: "Hongcheng violated the regulations of the military government and implemented the third-class military system without authorization, and you have deducted millions of taels of military salary, this palace wants to ask you, where did all that silver go?"
Da Lin was not in a hurry, and replied calmly: "Back to the princess, Hongcheng returned these silver taels to the imperial court, and used them to help raise troops in the poor places in the northwest, for this reason, the military government also rewarded the micro-ministers, and gave the plaque of the loyal soldiers, which is still hanging in the military tent at the moment......" This sentence pushed the whereabouts of the eight million silver to the imperial court, where there is King Bin supervising the country, and the government has no right to inquire about it, which seems reasonable and cannot be refuted.
The princess wanted to take advantage of this to be majestic again, but she didn't expect to eat the closed door as soon as she opened her mouth, and her wrist trembled in anger, and in desperation, she looked at Wentu again, and she subconsciously took a step back.
Seeing this, Wentu unhurriedly picked up the crumbling old official, and kept saying: "Get up, get up......"
"Princess Xie......" More than a dozen people slowly got up at this time, and looked at the people in the government and the government with palpitations.
Wentu took out the silver tickets of the officials, bent down and picked up Dalin's tickets, pinched them together and waved them constantly, "In this way, the government should also praise you, the surplus military funds to fund the brother city, and be diligent and thrifty to solve your worries," he said and counted the silver tickets seriously, and said nonsense, "It's rare, it's rare, you are all loyal and good ...... the imperial court."
"The Governor of Wenfu has won the award, I don't dare to be it, I don't dare to be a ......" Dalin wiped the sweat from his forehead and motioned to the officials beside him.
There was another compliment, it seemed that this catastrophe had escaped, and the silver was gone, and it could be earned again, as long as the black veil on the head was kept.
Fu Rou scrutinized with a calm face, anger in her heart, and Nie Liang clenched the hilt of his sword, indifferently waiting for Wentu to speak.
"Four million taels!" Wentu finally settled the total, raised the silver ticket and waved it, his face seemed to be smiling, and the garden was full of spring, "Very good, the government has paid the taxes in advance for you, and you have been exempted from the crime of hiding official silver; The military government will reward together, we will go back to tell the Queen Mother and the Lord of the Prison Country, Hongcheng will return the eight million taels of military salaries to serve the imperial court, and at the same time save the remaining four million taels of taxes, which is indispensable, of course, this year's taxes can not be less, otherwise the Queen Mother and the Lord of the Prison will blame you. ”
The words made Dalin Khan rain down, not only did the four million taels become a redundant tax, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye, but if King Bin knew that there were nearly 10 million military salaries deducted here, and only received 600, he still didn't eat himself? In just seven or eight months, Dalin borrowed the military system to deduct nearly 10 million taels of military salaries, and secretly delivered 6 million taels to King Bin, and the rest was privately divided with his subordinates, and he took half of it, nearly 2 million taels.
