According to Li Yancai's idea, of these 800,000 taels of silver, at most 400,000 taels would be left, or more than half, and more than the governor. But Dang Shanji disagreed.
There are so many people to look after, so many mouths waiting for food in the yamen, and several rooms for concubines in the inner house.
The leader of the governor is greedy, and they are still cowering behind. Why are they pretending to be big-tailed wolves?
"Then according to your wishes, we want another hundred thousand?"
Li Yancai's question made Dang Shanji jump on his feet, "Why is this what I meant? You won't take it?!"
"You!" Li Yancai pointed helplessly at this guy and stamped his foot one last time, "Okay! Is that okay with what I mean? But I want to say one thing, this time I received a favor from Liu Shangshu, and I want to keep this debt. from!"
"What's this word? Why did you save it? We saved it."
Dang Shanji is greedy and petty!
Li Yancai was so angry that his face turned green. Finally, he smiled to himself and said in a non-smiling way: "Don't be angry, don't be angry..."
"Okay. It's up to you. I won't argue with you about this matter. But regarding Wei Bin, you and I must not involve the East Palace during the trial. You must not argue with me on this matter!"
In Li Yancai's view, this is a more important matter.
To be honest, 200,000 and 300,000 are just the same number to the superiors.
Neither the emperor nor the prince ever went out to spend money to buy anything. It made no difference to them whether it was one hundred thousand more or one hundred thousand less.
This is also the most critical factor that prevents Li Yan from fighting with him in the end, and he also thinks that since I listen to you on the first thing, then you should listen to me on the second thing and give in to each other.
As a result, Dang Shanji, who looked smart but actually had a dull look in his eyes, nodded simply, "Okay."
This reaction made Li Yancai even more anxious and wanted to cry, "You...are...ok?!"
"Why are you in a hurry? You said it. What's the problem with my agreement? This will also make it easier for Governor Wang to do business."
"What makes it easier for him to do business!" Li Yancai shouted out like a madman, "What does it have to do with the two of us whether he can do business well?! We can't let anyone be a gunman!"
"You mean the prince?"
"Too..." Li Yan started to speak and realized what Dang Shanji was saying. He stared and shouted, "I said Liu Daxia!
Dang Shanji felt a little aggrieved, "Why are you so anxious to get angry? What are you going to say? Just explain it clearly and I'll know?"
"Okay. I'm not in a hurry to get angry. Let me ask you, what crime do they most want to charge the prince with now?"
"Compete with the people for profit."
"Then can we proceed with the trial like this?"
"Should...can't, right?"
"What should not be allowed? It is definitely not allowed! Now that Xu Ruoqin's memorial has been published, the fruits have been picked. If Liu Shangshu really succeeds in this matter, then who will benefit the most?"
"Xu Ruoqin." This time Dang Shanji was smarter.
"Then if this thing can't be done, and we still send such a eucalyptus roll, who is the most unlucky?"...
"I...we!" He answered hesitantly at first, but then he suddenly opened his mouth, as if he suddenly woke up.
"Okay! It's better to use your brain."
Li Yan was a little proud. It was not easy to convince such a fool who thought he was smart. "Besides, we are not involved in the East Palace. This paper is most in line with Zhongcheng's wishes. This way it means that we are very cooperative." . In this way, he takes a little bit, we take a little bit, and make it into a Wei Bin ink gum. It is the simplest way to make it. Simple, it is not easy to make omissions. "
"Yes! Not bad! Not bad!" Dang Shanji frowned in thought and nodded heavily, "But, Liu Shangshu's side..."
"As for Liu Shangshu, let's explain that Wei Bin is worthy of death.
If you don't admit it, just kowtow and admit your mistake and ask for understanding. At most, they blame us for not doing things well. "
Anyway, as long as the money is in place, progress will still be made.
"There is one more person." Dang Shanji suddenly stood up. This is a key figure in Zhejiang, "Mei Kejia!"
Li Yancai pondered for a moment, "Mei Kejia... Since Governor Wang recognizes the money, you just ask those people to follow suit. If you give more than Mei Kejia, it can be done. The key is to look at the capital. "If the situation in Beijing is good, we will do it; if the situation is bad, we will not do it."
Not everyone has the ability to be a wallflower.
As for Liu Shangshu's kindness...of course I want to repay it, but it's not a life-threatening repayment.
"Okay! Let's judge it accordingly!"
…
…
After making the plan, they immediately interrogated Wei Bin.
In their plans, everyone benefited a little bit, but Wei Bin was completely confused.
The chief envoy to the Yamen,
The two of them sat on the main seat, with an old record of records beside them, and seven or eight soldiers in charge of custody.
Li Yancai knocked on the door and came up and asked: "Suspect Wei Bin, you are a humble citizen, and you were lucky enough to be promoted to the post of guard eunuch because of the grace of heaven. However, you don't want to be loyal to the emperor and the people. Instead, you are greedy and greedy. At that time, I only knew how to ask for money. My official investigation found that since the twelfth year of Hongzhi, you have embezzled a huge amount of 400,000 taels of silver! Excluding those you squandered, there are now 300,000 taels left. Whether this is true, you can tell me Come together, but there is a lie! Even if I get around you, the law of the country will not spare you!"
"Three...three hundred thousand taels?"
"That's right. Could it be that your Tan Mo number is even greater?"
Wei Bin knew Zhejiang's officialdom, and he suddenly became so angry that he trembled all over, "You...you are so brave!"
Despite this, Wei Bin really didn't dare to mention the prince in a single sentence. He could only be furious.
"Be brave!" Dang Shanji greeted everyone around him, "If you show your filial piety in court for no reason, give me a slap in the face!"
"Li Yancai, Dang Shanji! You will not die well!"
Anyway, if you are beaten, you might as well curse.
After that, the soldiers on the left and right picked up their military sticks and pushed Wei Bin to the ground. The bang bang was ten big boards!
The sound of the board hitting the skin was clear enough to pass through the courtroom.
This is Dang Shanji's most common move. No matter who you are, if you fall into his hands, find a reason to beat him up first. With this move, 90% of the prisoners will become honest. What more questions will be asked later? Very relaxed. ….
Wei Bin was not a bloody man either. He was hit with a few boards and made him scream.
Just after the fight, Li Yan continued to ask: "I will ask you again, are you greedy for 400,000 taels of silver?"
Wei Bin's eyes were bloodshot and he cried bitterly and said, "Yes."
…
The trial of this eucalyptus is quite simple.
Because Li and Dang neither wanted Wei Bin to admit delivering silver to the prince, nor did they want him to identify Mei Kejia. The bribers mentioned were all unimportant petty officials and small businessmen.
The formation of eucalyptus in such a casual and model lake is of course very fast.
It was only two days before and after,
The scroll was delivered to Wang Hua, the governor of Zhejiang Province.
The two deputy judges broke up like this, even though Wang Hua had been mentally prepared, he was completely shocked. This is not a factual conclusion, it is simply a political conclusion.
Whether it has any connection with the East Palace, I won’t mention it. Once Xu Ruoqin did this, they would ignore it.
Don’t mention Mei Kejia’s matter. Because Xu Ruoqin's memorial has been sent up, and the result will be released soon, so how to deal with this person depends entirely on the result, and it will be a piece of cake.
And silver is even more exaggerated,
He, the governor of Zhejiang, took away 460,000 yuan, which was actually too much. As a result, two subordinates discussed it together and actually took away a larger number than his boss!
And where did the five hundred thousand taels of silver go without saying a single hello!
as if
It’s like everyone has accepted this matter by default.
How can he and Donggong report this?
"Call them two over here!"
Li and Dang were still happy in the Yamen.
Think about it, what did they do when they went to the governor's Yamen for the first time?
What I imagined at that time was the scene at this time, that is, the governor followed them in greed.
Those with high official positions should take the big head, and those with low official positions should take the small head.
The prince was hastily examined and dismissed, and everything went as usual after that. Maybe the prince's silver tael would be less, which is easy to explain, because he no longer competes with the people for profit, so naturally there will be less.
And doesn’t it just mean that Wei Bin was misbehaving and plundering people’s wealth in Zhejiang?
It would be great if everyone is at peace with each other and can communicate with each other.
So when someone from the governor's office summoned them, they didn't think there was any problem.
Li and Dang walked through the lobby of the governor's Yamen one after another.
They are all in a good mood,
He knelt down and said, "My subordinate Li Yancai (Dang Shanji) comes to see Zhongcheng!"
"You still know that you are my subordinate?!" Wang Hua put his hands behind his back and did not turn around at all.
Li and Dang were shocked. What's going on? Is the tone wrong?
"Zhongcheng's words are serious. I wonder if there is anything wrong among my subordinates."
"Still pretending to be stupid, where are the five hundred thousand taels of silver!" Wang Hua turned around and slammed the table, "I am also a former chief envoy. I know that you must not take this money alone. , it must have been sent away, and that’s okay. When you are an official, you always have to live with the light. But I am the chief judge of this case. Where did the five hundred thousand silver go? You didn’t say a word to me? ! Besides, you claim to be my subordinate, but in private you look at the heights of mountains. Now that you have the money in your hand, which mountain are you going to worship at?!"
Li Yancai calmed down and thought something was wrong. It turned out that he didn't agree with them to transfer this amount.
To be honest, from the perspective of the presiding judge, the two reasons for his anger are not incomprehensible.
"As for Zhong Cheng, the subordinates are naturally Zhong Cheng's subordinates, and these silver coins were also explained to Zhong Cheng. Isn't it... it's not too late? Since Zhong Cheng asked, let's just say it."
After Dang Shanji interrogated Wei Bin, he still had some trust in Li Yancai's plan. Since he could speak, he began to rush to talk, "It's better for me to come down and report. Zhongcheng, we got a little more money than you. Don’t blame me either,”
"Who got more than you?!" Wang Hua suddenly screamed and asked.
Li Yancai was speechless, labor and management have paved the way, you can say this.
Snap.
Dang Shanji slapped himself in the mouth, "I said it wrong, I said it wrong. What I mean is that these five hundred thousand taels of silver seem to be a lot, but not all of them went into the pockets of the two of us. There are so many people left and right, no one can be missed.”
Wang Hua sat down and asked calmly: "You should let me know who you are taking my money from, right?"
Li Yan swallowed his saliva and thought to himself, he should be able to say that if you take it anyway and report it to the prince, none of us will be left behind. So he nodded towards Dang Shanji.
