Yaoji asked with a smile: "You dare to accept it if you don't understand? The court's regulations are there. If it were you, how dare you accept something that might make you lose your head? How many heads do you have that are enough to chop off your head? In other words, Chen Biqian is stupider than everyone here?"
The supervisors present fell into deep thought again. They asked themselves that few people were smarter than Chen Biqian. He had at least been a third-grade minister, but he had not even become a ninth-grade official. How could he compare?
Seeing that everyone was exhausted, Yaoji struck while the iron was hot: "There are also more than 9,700 taels of silver taken from Chen Biqian's house. Can anyone explain to me how Chen Shilang doesn't know the value of these silvers?"
What?
More than nine thousand seven hundred taels of silver?
Isn’t that almost ten thousand taels?
Shilang Chen actually hid so much money!
Could it be that Chen Biqian, whom Yang Jiaqi asked everyone to help rescue, was a corrupt official?
As soon as this explosive news was announced, everyone immediately started whispering and talking about it.
Seeing that things were developing in a direction that was beyond his control, Yang Shicong hurriedly found an excuse: "Your Highness, perhaps there must be a misunderstanding. As far as I know, Minister Chen has always been frugal, and it seems that he has never deliberately accepted bribes!"
Of course Yang Shicong knew very well what Chen Biqian was like in private, but since he had already arrived, he gave up and would inevitably be ridiculed by other Donglin colleagues when he returned. Even if the prince had made preparations, he still had to give it a try.
Yaoji targeted Yang Shicong directly and asked with interest: "Oh? It seems that Yang Kaifeng and Chen Biqian have a very good personal relationship. Even this is clear. I don't know how Yang Kaifeng evaluates himself?"
Yang Shicong was stagnant. He didn't expect the prince to question him. He hurriedly organized his words and carefully replied: "I am far inferior to Chen Shilang in terms of management and talent. He is diligent and just to complete his duties. His ability is low and he is not worthy." carry!"
As long as the prince can ignore him, it doesn't matter whether he can rescue Chen Biqian or not. If he is targeted by the prince, the situation will be bad.
Since he wanted to capture the fat sheep, Yaoji revealed a little bit: "Yang Kaifeng is too modest. I don't know about other aspects. But there is one aspect I know a little bit about. I wonder if Yang Kaifeng can invite me and everyone Are you going to be a guest in the mansion?"
Yang Shicong was so frightened that he lost his composure. He bowed his hands and saluted, and lowered his head to avoid the prince's scrutinizing gaze, so as not to let him see his flaws: "I have no good discipline and the house is in disarray. Your Highness will definitely be disappointed when he comes. It is hard for me to reject him." Damn it, I will wait for three days for my servants to order my servants to clean up the house before I dare to welcome His Highness’s Majesty!”
If the prince is allowed to lead someone there, all the hard work over the years may be discovered, so no matter what, the prince cannot be allowed to pass.
Yao Ji thought to himself: You have finished cleaning up and moved all the valuables, what else am I going to see? Then he showed a more interested expression and said: "It doesn't matter, it's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, today is the day! I don't care, is it possible that Yang Jiaikai has a ghost in his heart, or there is an ulterior secret in the house?"
Nothing you say today is of any use, let me show you right away what it means to be "unable to twist a chicken thigh with your arm"!
Yang Shicong was so anxious that he finally came up with a reasonable excuse to explain it away: "Uh... my concubine caught a cold and hasn't recovered yet. I'm afraid she might infect His Highness. I don't dare to die!"
After saying this, Yang Shicong prayed silently in his heart. If he could escape this disaster, he would go to the temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, so that his family would be safe and sound.
You have a good plan, I have a ladder, Yaoji responded with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I have brought an imperial doctor with me, who can just help Yang Jiexing, and prescribe some symptomatic drugs to help him recover as soon as possible!"
Don't talk about a cold or fever, you just said that your wife just died at home, and I want to go over and have a look!
Yang Shicong still stood in front of everyone, trying to stop him: "Your Highness must not take risks!"
The money from the family has not been removed yet. If it is discovered, it will definitely end up like Chen Biqian.
Yao Ji made a pun and said: "I'm afraid that when I leave, someone will put themselves at risk! Come on, help Yang Jianxing clear the way for him and start driving! All you dear friends and students will go with me. , I will open your eyes today!"
Fang Zhenghua understood immediately and asked the two feudal lords to pick up Yang Shicong, who still wanted to stay here and didn't want to leave, and then set off. The captain of the Imperial Guard's Ceremony Department, as a retinue before the journey, stood at the front of the team and sounded the sign of avoidance and silence, and sounded the gong to clear the way. Then came the majestic generals of the Han Dynasty and the large group of Dongchang troops. The prince's golden chariot and the ministers were surrounded In the middle, followed by hundreds of supervisors who wanted to find out.
The frightened people along the street all knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads. Anyone who made loud noises was considered disrespectful. Jin Yiwei immediately stepped forward to gag them. However, seeing this extremely arrogant pomp and the "world-famous" factory guard, anyone who doesn't want to seek death will bow his head and remain silent. Not to mention yelling, even whispering, you have to worry about being seen by the prince's hawks and dogs, and causing sudden misfortune.
The number of places in the factory guard establishment is extremely limited, but in order to monitor Minjian's movements in the Kifu area, a large number of non-staff personnel, also known as "temporary workers", are recruited for a long time to provide them with the necessary intelligence. Most of the applicants are ruffians. While receiving "bonuses" from their superiors, these unemployed vagrants who originally disliked labor often used the name of factory guards to blackmail people, and even went so far as to directly avenge themselves. Therefore, when ordinary people saw the serious factory guard team, , will even feel shuddering.
Naturally, this murderous team can walk smoothly on the road, and there is no need to worry about bullshit traffic jams. Even if you are marrying a wife today, you will have to stand aside when you see the prince's driver. The guys who are responsible for playing, playing and singing have to hold their breath and concentrate to prevent the instruments in their hands from going out of tune. If you dare to make the other party unhappy, your whole family can attend your own funeral immediately...
In the car, Yaoji looked at the sketch of the Yang Mansion provided by Fang Zhenghua, with a slight snicker on his lips. Looking at the drawing, he realized that the "loyalty and courage" family was really quite rich.
The Yang Mansion is a very spacious courtyard house. The model is definitely not too small. The most obvious feature is that the Yang Mansion courtyard has a "screen wall" at the entrance. The white wall is what you can see when you open the door. Usually there is only a large screen wall. This thing is only found in courtyard houses. You have to bypass this thing when entering the door to enter the inner courtyard.
The screen wall past the Yang Mansion is not the inner courtyard, but the front hall. Pass through the front hall and then walk through the hanging flower door with verandahs on both sides before entering the backyard. Directly opposite is the main room, with east and west wing rooms on both sides.
According to convention, the elders live in the east wing, the young ones live in the west wing, the male dependents live in the east wing, and the female dependents live in the west wing. The story of Zhang Xiaosheng's hookup with Miss Cui probably happened in the West Wing, hence the name "The Romance of the West Chamber", and then the two of them stayed in a double room... in a room!
As a reviewer of the seventh grade of the Hanlin Academy, Yang Shicong's monthly salary was not more than seven stone meters as usual. Being able to live in such a house has proved from the side that his income is extremely high. He is very suitable as a research object for the prince, for analysis and dissection!
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived at the Yang Mansion. All of you will greet him immediately!"
"Please wait……"
The housekeeper still wanted to go back and report to the mistress, but the Jin Yiwei who knocked on the door grabbed him by the collar and took him out. Then he was pushed to the wall and was not allowed to make a sound. A group of sword-wielding captains swarmed in from the main door and sealed it with The screams of the female relatives came from the yard.
Yaoji doesn't care how his subordinates do things, the prince only asks for two words: "efficiency"!
Under normal circumstances, the other party will not resist, and the person running the errand will not harm innocent people.
The unrepentant Yang Shicong was still testing the prince's bottom line, trying to find a feasible way out for himself: "Your Highness, I dare to ask for instructions. I don't know what crime I have committed? What has led to this situation?"
If someone hadn't had ulterior motives to talk in front of the prince, how could the prince suddenly come to his house, and send people to search without asking anything about his arrival. The Jin Yiwei was obviously looking for his family property.
The few boxes of money that were counted last night have not left the mansion, so be sure not to be searched by the Jin Yiwei. They were accumulated by me over the years as an official. Once they are copied, not only will all the "hard work" be given away, but the black gauze hat will also be hard to find. Keep.
If it had been sent to another place earlier, even if it was searched by the prince today, he would not be able to find any clues.
It’s just a hair’s breadth, a thousand miles off!
If Jin Yiwei finds him, what should he do?
Seeing that Yang Shicong, who was sweating profusely, was still resisting, Yaoji asked with a strange smile on his face: "Yang Jinfang, you still did things for me in the East Palace, isn't it clear? You are wise. However, I was misled by my cleverness. Today, the Chief Assistant, the Minister of Punishment, and the Censor of Zuodu have all arrived to certify this, so that no one will say that I am deliberately framed by Yang Kaifa. I cannot afford to bear this responsibility."
As soon as I took a nap, someone offered me a pillow!
You even brought the "Cheerleading Team of the Imperial College" here, you really deserve to be called the "loyalty and courage" of the Great Chao Dynasty!
I would also like to take this opportunity to verify the family background of the Donglin friends who claim to serve the country and the people, and whether they are all extremely fat!
At this time, Xue Guoguan, Zhen Shu, and Zhong Yan, who were the chief bystanders, also understood that the results were indeed the same as what they had speculated before. The "meal" invited by Yang Jiaxuan was probably of great value, and it was necessary to say less. There are several thousand taels of silver.
When the stolen goods were moved out, the accompanying personnel from the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate could register them on the spot. With overwhelming evidence, Yang Shicong had no choice but to deny it publicly.
At this moment, taking the prison students to petition, isn't this an excuse for the prince to confiscate his house?
I wonder what Yang Shicong thinks? Once the crime is confirmed, it is extremely difficult to reverse the case.
"Master, master, these feudal lords are so rude and break into the mansion without permission. What do you want to do?"
