Zhou Congguang said angrily, "Fang Jie, you still haven't confessed honestly. You not only evaded taxes, but also sold fake tea. You will be punished by death."
"If I tell you honestly, I can give you a happy life without involving your family!"
When Fang Jie saw these evidences being found, he knew he was going to die.
What's more, the emperor found it himself.
He rolled his eyes and admitted immediately.
"It's all the common people's fault. The common people know they are wrong."
Fang Jie pleads guilty.
Another person involved in this case, Ye Chaohua, was also arranged by Zhou Congguang to go to Dali Temple with a warrant from Emperor Yunwu.
Lifted Ye Chaohua out.
Go directly to the Xingbu Yamen.
As soon as Ye Chaohua arrived in the hall, he was pushed to kneel down. He saw clearly that Cao Guoshi was also there.
While I was frightened, I saw a bright yellow figure from the corner of my eye.
He felt a thump in his heart and had an ominous premonition.
at this time.
Zhou Congguang spoke.
"Is this the imperial businessman Ye Chaohua?"
Ye Chaohua looked cautious and responded, "They are grassroots people."
"Do you know the man next to you?"
Ye Chaohua glanced at Fang Jie and found that he was too guilty to look at him. Not only that, his face was even pale.
Ye Chaohua's heart skipped a beat, and he had an ominous premonition.
"know."
"Then you can sell tea with him." Zhou Congguang stared at him and asked.
The intention and goal are already obvious.
Ye Chaohua opened his mouth, "Yes, that's right, but..."
Ye Chaohua still wanted to quibble, but Cao Guoshi suddenly coughed.
Ye Chaohua's voice paused, and his expression became even more ugly as he buried his head.
Zhou Congguang glanced at Cao Guoshi dissatisfiedly, "Master Cao, do you have a discomfort in your throat?"
"This court is serious. Even if you feel uncomfortable, you must endure it."
Cao Guoshi's face turned dark, realizing that Zhou Congguang had the courage to deal with him directly, which showed that he was really in a bad situation during this period.
He didn't know what he was thinking about.
It actually became quiet.
Just by looking at his face, you can tell what he must be thinking.
"Ye Chaohua, please tell me the truth!" Zhou Congguang shouted sharply.
Waiting for Ye Chaohua to explain clearly.
Ye Chaohua gritted his teeth, "The common people don't know what the crime is."
"You and Fang Jie sold fake tea, evaded taxes, and made false accounting books. Can you plead guilty?"
Ye Chaohua's eyes widened.
"The common people don't recognize it," he said through gritted teeth.
[I knew it was impossible for this person to confess his crime honestly. 】
[Fortunately, my father found all the evidence of his crime and preserved it from the beginning. 】
[This man is really treacherous. He was caught by the Yamen people when something happened. 】
[He hinted that Madam had destroyed the letters at home. 】
[Fortunately, there are traces of many things he has done. 】
"Humph, these are your private seals!" Zhou Congguang could be convicted without any need for him to argue.
The evidence found by Fang Jie.
can be sentenced.
Ye Chaohua's eyes were split when he saw these things.
I wish I could immediately pounce on Fang Jie and bite him to death.
How could he be so stupid as to hide evidence secretly and then be discovered?
"Grass people...please plead guilty." Ye Chaohua knew that this matter could not be refuted.
He could only plead guilty.
"Your Excellency, Your Majesty, the common people are willing to donate the money they earn from selling tea and beg for their lives."
What Emperor Yunwu wanted was not Ye Chaohua's life.
He said calmly, "Ye Chaohua's eldest son committed murder and arson, and he was also judged."
"Yes." Zhou Congguang's eyes lit up.
Unexpectedly, the emperor caught such evidence.
Fortunately, he usually follows strict rules and no one in his family does such a rebellious thing.
soon.
Ye Chaohua's eldest son was also brought.
After some cross-examination, he was found guilty of robbing someone else's wife and murdering her husband, and was directly sentenced to be executed at noon.
Ye Chaohua's eldest son became frightened and asked Ye Chaohua for help.
Ye Chaohua's face was gray and there was no reaction.
Until the eldest son was pulled down.
He thought that was the end of it.
Cao Guoshi and others thought so too.
He winked at Ye Chaohua, saying that he could leave with peace of mind. At least his family was fine.
But soon, the two of them knew that they were wrong.
[Tsk, tsk, Ye Chaohua’s eldest son is not the only one in the Ye family who has committed crimes. 】
[The second eldest child of the Ye family has special hobbies. He likes to play with young children the most, and has killed several of them. 】
[The second son of the Ye family is the protective umbrella behind the kidnapper. 】
[This Ye Laoer is wicked. He abducts those beautiful children from all over the place and tortures them. 】
[I don’t know how many corpses can be dug out of the pond in Guangye Laoer’s yard. 】
[This Ye Laoer is really disgusting. 】
Yunwu frowned, feeling very unhappy, so he naturally complained directly to Emperor Yunwu.
[Hmph, Ye Laosan is not a good person either. He knew clearly about the crimes committed by his second brother but refused to retaliate. 】
[Not only helping to hide it. 】
[He himself also hoarded food to make money in the disaster-stricken state capital. 】
[He hoarded grain and deliberately raised grain prices, causing grain prices to rise in several state capitals close to Boryeong Province. 】
[The key point is that there is really not much food on the market. 】
[As a result, no one discovered that they were doing something behind their backs. 】
[In order to cover up, the grain they sell is even cheaper than other merchants. 】
[As everyone knows, these businessmen are the scapegoats of the Ye family. 】
[They speculated on grain prices, and they sold the grain to those merchants. 】
[Through different people pretending to be foreign merchants, the price is high when sold to merchants. 】
[Now that’s good, the remaining grain dealers have no choice but to lower their prices. 】
[The Ye family earned more than five million taels of silver from grain, and they all gave it to Cao Guoshi. 】
Emperor Yunwu's expression changed slightly when he heard this.
Although he had long known that Cao Guoshi must have private soldiers under his command.
But I didn't expect so much money.
[Unexpectedly, Cao Guoshi took the money and used it, but kept it in his hands, preparing to win people's hearts when he wanted to seize the throne. 】
[Not only that, but it was also used to buy Concubine Xian’s harmful medicine. 】
[Maybe even my father doesn’t know. 】
[The poison in his body was bought by Cao Guoshi from the West. 】
[This poison is very expensive, costing one hundred taels of silver at a time. 】
Emperor Yunwu's face turned dark.
He sneered inwardly.
My life is really worth it.
Cao Guoshi would rather spend so much money to buy poison.
Nor did he spend his money on soldiers.
Should he say that Cao Guoshi is smart or confident?
He didn't raise private soldiers and had no excuse. Even if Emperor Yunwu knew that he had evil intentions and couldn't find any evidence, there was nothing he could do.
So he used money to bribe court officials.
Bribery the military generals of the imperial court.
thereby seizing military power.
But he never considered that the current soldiers in the court could fight except Xie Jiajun.
Other soldiers would collapse so quickly under Da Chu's infiltration.
Cao Guoshi focused on fighting with his own people.
But foreign enemies were ignored.
Sad and hateful.
