As soon as Tang Feng left the palace, he went straight to the Ministry of Accounts, took out the imperial account books of the past five years and checked them carefully again, listing the people who handled the largest amounts of military pay, taxation, and disaster relief funds in the accounts one by one.
Then there are the monthly salary salaries for the ministers of the imperial court, and a few people are roughly targeted by the elimination method.
The first is the Ministry of War.
Tang Feng took the handwriting given by the emperor and directly mobilized the imperial guards who only obeyed the emperor's orders.
The palace of the Minister of War was surrounded with great momentum.
Lin Shiyin died not long ago, and the white cloth on the door of Lin Mansion has not yet been removed.
As soon as the housekeeper opened the door, he saw such a battle. He was shocked and quickly called the servant to call the master. The guards in the house also drew their swords.
Tang Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and took out the handwriting.
"My father asked me to investigate corruption. I found out that the Ministry of War's family is rich, and I suspect that there is collusion with the corruption case in the Ministry of Revenue. The Imperial Guards obey the order! Search for me!"
The Imperial Guards responded in unison and rushed to the house to search everywhere.
The housekeeper was a little panicked when he saw this, but after all, he was the housekeeper of the Minister of War, and he had seen the world.
Just as he was about to step forward to say something, Tang Feng abruptly blocked what he wanted to say, "Anyone who stops him is disobeying the emperor's order!"
The imperial court has been corrupted for a long time. Since everyone is greedy, then just take back what they are greedy for!
Anyway, as a prince who was not taken seriously, it didn't matter whether anyone read him in front of his father.
After all, if you really find something out of the search, it’s not certain who will take part in who!
When Lin Zhengyuan came out, he was also confused when he saw the Imperial Guards searching everywhere.
"The third prince is so majestic. The emperor asked His Highness to investigate the Ministry of Household Affairs. Why did His Highness bring so many guards to our Lin Mansion to show off?" Lin Zheng Yuanpi smiled.
The third prince really used chicken feathers as arrows!
Tang Feng didn't even look at him. He followed a guard to the Lin Mansion's warehouse. Behind them were Lin Zhengyuan and the housekeeper.
The warehouse was locked. Tang Feng only glanced at it, pulled out the knife from the guard's waist and split the lock in half.
Lin Zhengyuan immediately became anxious: "The third prince broke into a private house! He also broke into the warehouse of my house without authorization. How is he any different from a bandit!"
Tang Feng was too lazy to pay attention to him. He said "stop him" to the guards beside him and strode into the warehouse.
When he walked in, he discovered that a warehouse was as big as the palace where he lived!
Opening the boxes inside one by one, the gold and silver jewelry in the box suddenly illuminated the entire warehouse.
As he walked further inside, he gradually discovered a locked box. He raised his knife and cut off the locks one by one. The sound of metal falling to the ground was heard outside the house.
Lin Zhengyuan's face was extremely gloomy, but he couldn't take action against the Imperial Guards.
His eyes moved to the housekeeper beside him, and he suddenly pushed him towards the Imperial Guards. Taking advantage of the Imperial Guards' unpreparedness, he quickly dodged in front of Tang Feng.
"Third Prince, what are you doing?! Are you trying to ransack the official's house?!" Lin Zhengyuan said angrily.
Tang Feng bypassed him and continued to hack the lock and open the box.
Lin Zhengyuan felt as if he had punched cotton with his fist. He was suffocating in his heart and wanted to snatch the knife from Tang Feng's hand.
Just as he was about to take action, he heard Tang Feng suddenly speak.
"The treasures in Master Lin's warehouse have caught up with the treasury. Are you so anxious to stop me, are you afraid that I will raid your home, or are you afraid that you will be found to be embezzling?"
Lin Zhengyuan paused at his extended hand.
It happened so suddenly that he never expected that the third prince, who usually had a very low sense of presence, would lead the imperial guards to suddenly search the Lin Mansion.
The gold and silver treasures currently in the warehouse are far higher than the salary he gets from the court every year.
"Third Prince, you are slandering!" Lin Zhengyuan frowned, "I have never been corrupt. These are all left by my ancestors for generations. How can I talk about corruption!"
"Since Mr. Lin has said so, he must be upright and not afraid of slanting shadows. I hope you will move so as not to hinder my search here."
As soon as the words fell, the lock on the last box also fell.
The Imperial Guards who were searching outside also came to report one after another.
"Your Highness, this is the account book we found."
"Your Highness, we found gold hidden in the wall of a courtyard."
"Your Highness, disaster relief money was found in the pond in the mansion."
"Your Highness..."
After listening to the reports from the Imperial Guards, Lin Zhengyuan was already sweating profusely.
Especially when he heard the words "disaster relief money", he directly denied it.
"Impossible! There is absolutely no way our government has disaster relief funds! This is slander!!" Lin Zhengyuan jumped anxiously.
After seeing the disaster relief money that the imperial guard took out, his head broke into a cold sweat.
Tang Feng took the disaster relief silver and carefully read the engraved words on the disaster relief silver.
"The disaster relief money issued by the imperial court will not only be engraved with the words "disaster relief money", but also the year and month, and even the region and type of disaster."
"Oh, there should be more than just these few pieces of disaster relief money, right? And which courtyard wall has the gold hidden in it? Come on, some of you go to the pond to get the disaster relief money, and the others go to dig out the courtyard wall. Whoever finds the most, I will directly Give him a tenth of the stolen money!"
The Imperial Guards looked at each other after hearing this, and the next second a group of people rushed to dig the pond under the courtyard wall.
The cold sweat on Lin Zhengyuan's forehead never stopped. He wanted to stop him but couldn't. He was stunned in place for a while and didn't know what to do.
After a moment, he wanted to snatch the pieces of disaster relief money from Tang Feng and examine them carefully.
He had obviously exchanged all the disaster relief money for rice, flour, grain and oil, and then exchanged it for gold, silver, and jewelry at high prices. There was absolutely no way he had disaster relief money in his house!
He must have gotten the disaster relief money from nowhere to frame him!
Tang Feng seemed to have anticipated what he was thinking, and said coolly: "Since the disaster relief money has appeared in your Lin Mansion, Mr. Lin will know who wants to frame you, not to mention that you are not corrupt. Everyone in this court has How much corruption there is, you know better than me."
"The gold and silver in your house is dozens of times more than the salary you have earned during your decades of reign. Don't use the pretense of being left by your ancestors to future generations to deceive me. I have checked the genealogy of all the officials in the imperial court these days. Now, do you want me to tell you what your ancestors did for a living?"
"Lord Lin, why don't you think carefully about how a prince who is not taken seriously like me dares to suddenly lead the guards to search Lin's mansion, and who put the disaster relief money in your mansion for me to find out."
At this time, there were only two of them left in the courtyard, and there were two guards guarding the entrance of the courtyard.
Lin Zhengyuan was stimulated by his words, and immediately thought of Hu Bu and Li Bu who were still in prison.
Could it be that those two people wanted to frame him? !
No, it shouldn’t be!
I'm sure the third prince is deceiving him and wants them to fight in the doghouse!
Tang Feng saw Lin Zhengyuan's hesitant look and became angry again.
"I have roughly calculated the hundreds of boxes of gold, silver and jewelry in your lord's warehouse. They are about one hundred thousand taels of gold. The military salary issued by the imperial court every year is only 10,000 taels of gold. I wonder if your lord is following the example of my uncle Linnan. The king raises private soldiers, or does he?"
The word "private soldier" popped up in Lin Zhengyuan's mind. If this label was removed, all his hard work for many years would be destroyed in one fell swoop.
Now we still have to see what the third prince wants to do!
Tang Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, turned around and said to the two guards: "Watch this warehouse carefully, and kill anyone who dares to move the things inside."
After that, he walked towards the courtyard where the gold was hidden, and saw a group of people knocking down the courtyard wall. The moment it hit the ground, the wall cracked, revealing the gold inside.
The setting sun falls on it, making people unable to open their eyes.
Tang Feng almost couldn't restrain himself and wanted to rush forward and hug those golden kisses.
God knows that he used all his self-control to control himself from laughing. He glanced at Lin Zhengyuan who was following him with a face as black as the bottom of a pot, and felt even happier.
When Lin Zhengyuan saw the fallen courtyard wall, blood dripped from his heart, like a blunt knife cutting flesh.
Seeing that the group of imperial guards were about to push down three more courtyard walls, they quickly spoke to stop them.
"You are trying to tear down my home!"
"Who is using gold to build a wall? The palace doesn't dare to use gold to build a wall." Tang Feng answered, paused and said, "There is no disaster relief money at the bottom of the lake in the palace."
Lin Zhengyuan felt his blood surge, and he felt like he would be in prison with the Ministry of Household Affairs Bureau officials in the next second.
By the pond.
Wave after wave of people fished for money, gradually building up a hill.
When Lin Zhengyuan saw the piles of disaster relief money, his legs softened and he knelt on the ground, knowing that he might not be able to save the gold and silver jewelry in his house.
"Your Highness, I would like to ask you who framed me!"
Tang Feng sneered, glanced at him meaningfully, and asked: "Who do you think, Master Shangshu, wants you to be the scapegoat?"
Lin Zhengyuan's eyes flashed with cruelty, and he already had the answer in his heart.
But he still couldn't figure out why those two would frame him again when they would be released from prison soon!
Could it be that King Linan was suspicious of him...
Will not! Those two people must be the instigators! Otherwise, why would this good-for-nothing prince suddenly act like this!
Tang Feng didn't bother to care what Lin Zhengyuan was thinking, his eyes were full of gold now!
"The Minister of the Ministry of War has embezzled the disaster relief money. I have the right to suspect that all the property in the Lin Mansion has unknown origins! All the Imperial Guards obeyed the order and seized all the stolen money and put it into the national treasury!"
An order was given to the Imperial Guards to remove all the gold and silver treasures from the Lin Mansion, and a portion of the Imperial Guards were left to surround the Lin Mansion and prevent anyone from leaving.
Lin Zhengyuan watched bitterly as the imperial guards moved box after box from his house. There were fewer and fewer boxes in the warehouse, and there was only ruins left in the courtyard. Not even the gold slag was given to him. Leftover.
After the Imperial Guards removed the last piece of gold.
Lin Zhengyuan sat slumped on the ground, tears even falling from his eyes. He didn't know whether he was angry or felt sorry for the gold.
When he calmed down, he immediately sent someone to find out the news. He must cut into pieces the bodies of the person who hid the disaster relief money at the bottom of his pond!
Tang Feng smiled from ear to ear on the way to the treasury. He had money to do business!
He is one step closer to earning enough money to buy two Daqins!
It was as if he could see him waving to him when he would be the richest man in the world in the future!
