"Give me some?"
Zhao Heng frowned.
Looking at Zhao Ding with some sneer: "How much?"
Zhao Ding raised a finger.
"one thousand?"
Zhao Ding: "???"
How can you have the nerve to say that the majestic Prince Jin said ten thousand?
However, Zhao Ding did not say it clearly.
He just shook his head lightly.
Seeing Zhao Ding's eyes, Zhao Heng's face was embarrassed.
"Then ten thousand?"
Zhao Ding touched his chin and still shook his head.
This time, Zhao Heng's face completely collapsed, and he looked at Zhao Ding with an aggrieved look: "Lao Jiu, it's not easy for you, Brother Jiu, either.
This year's salary is only 40,000 taels.
You ask for 100,000 yuan. Where do you ask your fifth brother to get it? Not to mention that I can't get it. Even if I can get it, what will your sisters-in-law, nephews, and nieces eat and drink?
It's hard for me, your fifth brother, too. "
Zhao Heng looked aggrieved.
"well."
Zhao Ding sighed, touched his head, and said helplessly: "Fifth brother, you see, this matter has nothing to do with you from the beginning, but if you insist on getting involved, what can I do?
Moreover, my father asked me to handle this matter.
You said that Emperor Father knows about this, so do we also have Emperor Father’s spies around us?
You said you came to see me today, but you said I told my father? Or not tell your father?
Brother, it’s difficult for me too.
If you don't tell your father, that would be the crime of deceiving the emperor. If you tell your father, then I will be sorry for you, Fifth Brother.
It’s hard for me to do it too.
The one hundred thousand taels of silver I want from you now is not what I, your brother, want. Your brother, I also want to give you a chance to atone for your sins.
You said that Qicheng, relying on Zhou Xing's support over the years, has supported domestic slaves, colluded with businessmen, and bullied the market. We already know that three gangsters have died without interrogation. How many people are behind it?
As the princes of the Great Qian Dynasty, do we have to pay some compensation to the families of the victims?
After all, there is a saying that goes well, take from the people and use it for the people. If we, the royal family, don’t make decisions for the common people, then what is the difference between us and those noble families who prey on the common people?
If this continues, this great cause will perish.
Besides, the reform of the Imperial College..."
"Okay, okay, Ninth Brother, stop talking, this time just be the Fifth Brother and admit your fault, okay?
Just pretend that I've never been here, okay?
As for the father and the emperor, if you ask, how about you say, Ninth Brother, I see that it is not easy for the common people to go out of their way to provide money for the royal family to run a school? "
Seeing Zhao Ding continue to talk endlessly, Zhao Heng finally couldn't bear it anymore. Although his face was still painful, he finally gritted his teeth and took out a one hundred thousand tael silver note from his sleeve and put it to Zhao Ding. In front of a certain situation.
Zhao Ding sighed: "Look, look, this is such a mess, it makes me, the younger brother, seem to be trying to blackmail you, the older brother.
Oh, sin, sin. "
Zhao Ding had a look of emotion on his face, holding the banknote in his hand and rubbing it repeatedly.
Oh, really!
"Then Ninth Brother, what are you doing??"
Zhao Heng asked tentatively.
Zhao Ding waved his hand and said comfortingly: "Hey, Fifth Brother, don't worry, don't worry, this matter is taken care of by Ninth Brother and I. In the end, we are all a family.
The palms and backs of these hands are all flesh.
When it's time for Fifth Brother to speak kindly to your father, I will certainly speak kindly to you. Don't worry about this.
exactly...."
Having said this, Zhao Ding touched his chin and looked at Zhao Ding with some embarrassment.
"Just what?"
Zhao Heng raised his eyebrows.
"Oh, it's actually nothing."
Zhao Ding smacked his lips and pointed at the newly completed Prince Yan's Mansion, "It's Fifth Brother. Look at Ninth Brother, my yard is a little empty."
"Ninth brother..."
Hearing Zhao Ding's words, Zhao Heng's head shrank, and his already bitter face turned completely bitter.
Already already worth one hundred thousand taels, and still want to blackmail me.
"Oh, I really am..."
Zhao Ding sighed.
"Okay, okay, stop talking, stop talking."
Before Zhao Ding could finish speaking, Zhao Heng took out another 10,000-tael silver note from his sleeve and placed it in front of Zhao Ding. He looked at Zhao Ding with a smile on his face: "Ninth brother, this is enough for you. not enough?"
"Hmm~~~"
Zhao Ding touched his chin and glanced at Zhao Heng.
Zhao Heng almost burst into tears. He looked at Zhao Ding with a grimace and said, "Ninth brother, you have to leave some food for me, fifth brother. If you keep doing this, fifth brother, I will really take your nephew to the street to beg for food. "
This is already 110,000 taels, and even if he still has some money on hand, he can't bear to take it so hard.
The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved the look on Zhao Heng's face became.
Seeing Zhao Heng like this, Zhao Ding felt that he was almost done.
In the face of Zhao Heng's longing eyes, he carelessly put it into his sleeve, and then looked at Zhao Heng with an embarrassed face: "Oh, fifth brother, don't say this, your brother, I can't help it, the people are suffering. Ah, your brother was promoted to prince and took over this job again.
Then you can't turn a blind eye.
So I have no choice but to make this decision.
But in the final analysis, I still have to thank Fifth Brother for your generous donation. If it weren’t for Fifth Brother’s sponsorship, your brother and I wouldn’t even know where to raise the money. "
I am generous!
Zhao Heng subconsciously wanted to curse, but as soon as the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back and said with a smile: "Hey, it should be, it should be, eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor.
I would also like to thank Ninth Brother for giving me this opportunity, Fifth Brother. Otherwise, how could you, Fifth Brother, and I have the opportunity to do such things that benefit the country and the people. "
Zhao Heng looked at Zhao Ding with a smile on his face.
Zhao Ding grinned.
Sure enough, before being hit in the face by the iron fist of justice, he always said the same thing.
"Okay, I will accept the money. As for my father, I will definitely bring the message to my brother. Fifth brother, just don't worry."
Zhao Ding stood up and patted Zhao Heng on the shoulder.
Hearing Zhao Ding's words, Zhao Heng also breathed a sigh of relief.
In my heart, I scolded the counselor surnamed Huang to death!
If it weren't for him, how would he be like this?
…
The next day, Daqian, Yingtian, Imperial City.
Meridian Gate, east side gate.
The civil and military officials who went to court were surprised to find that Zhou Shan, the Minister of Civil Affairs and one of the three assistants of the Daqian, came dressed in plain clothes and held neatly folded official robes in his hands.
Something interesting happened in the court today.
Zhou Shan, who was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, went to the palace in plain clothes, knelt in front of the palace in front of the civil and military officials of the court, and loudly accused himself of not being strict with his subordinates and failing to manage the family tradition well.
As a result, his cousin colluded with Qi Cheng, the head of the official department, secretly conveying benefits, supporting private businessmen to exploit the people, using official ships for personal use, and requesting justice to eliminate relatives.
There was a big fuss.
And there’s a lot of inside information.
Especially when human lives are involved, many people have a strange look in their eyes.
More people were confused, what's going on?
How did you reveal that you were here?
His Majesty, who was "uninformed", was furious and ordered Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to deal with the matter, and the results were announced within two days.
As suspects in the case, Zhou Xing and Qi Cheng were arrested immediately, along with their henchman Tian Heng, the shopkeeper of Tian's Trading Company, whose limbs are now almost disabled.
The first stop for these people was the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
The person responsible for interrogating them was the censor who patrolled the city. ,
The sixth-grade official sat in front of the case, facing several of his former bosses. Without saying a word, he first gave Qi Cheng, Zhou Xing, and Tian Heng a slap in the face.
Because Zhou Xing only had half life, he fainted in the middle of the beating, and the board naturally stopped. However, Qi Cheng and Tian Heng were not so lucky. They cried for father and mother after being beaten. Jingtangmu said: "Qi Cheng, Tian Heng, you two have disregarded human life, used official ships for personal use, secretly colluded with Qingzhou, Yangzhou's aristocratic families stocked grain in advance and accepted bribes from officials of the two state patrol departments. You can plead guilty."
"yes!"
The two could only admit it.
After all, his biggest backers have already killed their relatives, so naturally no one can save them.
"Since you plead guilty and obey the law, there is no need to say anything more, just sign and pledge it!"
Two government officials came forward, one holding a confession, and the other forced Qi Cheng and Tian Heng to confess. They also pressed the handprints of Zhou Xing, who had passed out, to prevent him from getting up again.
According to the process of the joint trial of the three departments, after the Metropolitan Procuratorate completes the trial, the judgment will be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment. The Ministry of Punishment does not agree with the outcome of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and requires a retrial.
So Tian Heng, Qi Cheng, and the half-dead Zhou Xing were sent to the Ministry of Punishment. Here, their treatment has undergone earth-shaking changes.
After several hours of "interrogation", the Ministry of Criminal Justice overturned the result of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
After having enough food and wine, the Minister of Justice who was in charge of the interrogation thoughtfully found a doctor to apply gold sore medicine on their bloody buttocks.
After several hours of "interrogation," the Ministry of Criminal Justice overturned one of the findings of the Metropolitan Procuratorate's review.
That means Yin Yamen of Jingzhao Prefecture doesn’t know about it!
There was no tolerance for Tian Hengcao's behavior of sacrificing human life.
The two men were found guilty, but they did not collude with the court officials, but someone deliberately slandered them!
The file was handed over to Dali Temple.
Without saying a word, Dali Temple gave the two men a beating. After a "strict" interrogation, Dali Temple rejected the judgment of the Ministry of Punishment and believed that the Yin Yamen of Jingzhao Prefecture had colluded. The two men's crimes were so One!
the next day.
Seeing that the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate all insisted on their own opinions and did not give any results, the "uninformed" His Majesty Zhao Chongyuan ordered the first discoverer, the Ninth Prince Zhao Ding, to join the three departments for a personal trial.
The case escalated.
Dali Temple sent one temple chief and two temple ministers, the Ministry of Punishment sent two doctors and four chief ministers, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate sent two censors to patrol the city.
A total of eleven officials accompanied King Yan to hear the case.
The camp of the three-division interrogation was that the Ministry of Punishment felt that the three people had not colluded with the officials of the Yin Yamen of Jingzhao Prefecture and that someone had deliberately slandered them. The Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate unanimously believed that the three people had colluded with the Yin Yamen of Jingzhao Prefecture.
Prince Yan thinks that Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are right!
After a whole day of wrangling between the two sides without a winner, there was naturally no result.
Finally, Xu Ruoyun, the eldest lady of Duke Wei's palace, came forward and personally brought the widow of the only married man among the three stick men.
The case has finally been concluded.
Zhou Xin, Qi Cheng, and Tian Heng colluded with officials to deceive superiors and subordinates, and used state weapons for personal use. This is a serious crime!
For a moment, Qi Cheng and Tian Heng looked pale. Zhou Xing, who had just woken up, vomited blood and passed out, cursing Zhou Shan for his incompetence!
…
Three days later, Zhou Shan, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, had meritorious service in annihilating his relatives and was not involved in the matter. His title and position remained unchanged, but he was fined for three years. His brother Zhou Xing was exiled to the frontier. Qi Cheng accepted bribes, disregarded people's lives, and colluded with private businessmen and local wealthy families. The common people's property was confiscated, the men were exiled, and the women were sent to the Jiaofang Department, and all of them were executed in their later years.
Businessman Tian Hengqiu was beheaded and all his property confiscated!
At the same time, the Jinyiwei went to Qingzhou and Yangzhou to supervise the local inspection and search all the properties of the five major families, Zhang family, Li family, Lu family, Qian family, and Sun family, and arrest the officials bribed by the Qingzhou and Yangzhou patrol departments!
PS: I saw a big boss leaving a message and felt that I have been a little wet these days. I’m really sorry. Maybe you don’t like this plot, so I’d better take it easy in the future.
In fact, I have written all the subsequent plots, but after thinking about it, I decided to delete it and speed up the pace in the future!
Stop doing this!
Be happy, be happy!
