Chapter 254: Evidence of King Qis crime! Angry Zhu Di!(2/2)
In my heart, my evaluation of this person was a bit low.
But for now, the priority is to obtain evidence of King Qi's crime.
"I heard that in Jiming Village, you people deliberately used good farmland as wasteland and sold it to the government at a low price."
"Tell me the truth. Is this the case?"
"Huh?" Zhu Di was not angry and proud.
Old Man Li below was so frightened that he shook even more fiercely.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Looking at it like this, I am afraid that after this shock, my life will be shortened by at least three to five years!
"Report...report to King Yan...this is indeed the case..."
Even if King Yan comes in person, Old Man Li doesn't dare to lie.
When he saw Gao Fifteen, he knew that all the things he had done had been exposed.
I felt a pang of regret.
This high school student has always been a thorn in Jiming Village!
I didn’t expect that he would be so bold and take this matter to the sky!
Now I can only report it truthfully.
I hope King Yan can let him go...
"Oh? Then please explain in detail." Zhu Di continued to ask.
Old Man Li sorted out his thoughts.
Start from the beginning: "The little old man still remembers that day... a soldier who was as fierce as King Yan's bodyguard came to the door."
"I told the little old man about the land redemption and road construction, and asked the little old man to cooperate with them."
"That is to say, all the good fields will be taken away. Once they are obtained, all the money given by the court will belong to them."
"The little old man can take away the remaining 30% of the fertile land that has not been used for road construction."
"Of course I didn't agree with it at first."
"How can a young man, a just and law-abiding common man, dare to do such a bold thing?"
"I refused in every possible way, but the other party not only did not give up, but threatened the little old man..."
"They said that if you don't cooperate with them, the whole family of the little old man will be killed! In addition, these people claim that they have great hands and eyes, and the court will not care about it. Under this condition, the little old man has no choice but to cooperate with them..."
Under what Old Man Li told him, he even described himself as a victim.
But naturally King Yan would not believe these nonsense.
In the final analysis, it is nothing more than one word, greed!
Blinded by profit and obsessed by profit, only then can you do such lawless things!
But Zhu Di wasn't here to pursue his fault.
But to get more evidence of King Qi’s crimes.
After Zhu Di thought for a moment, he asked: "Then do you remember who kept the records in the government and who distributed the money?"
"When the money was distributed, was it based on the money given by Liangtian or the money given by Huangtian?"
This point is very crucial.
Because if the government directly follows the money given by Arata, it would be equivalent to telling lies with open eyes.
None of the magistrates and others in Jiming Village can escape!
"This..." Old Man Li hesitated for a long time.
Finally, he made up his mind and said, "Of course the people in the government know about this."
"I heard from people above that the money to redeem the land this time must be allocated from the Ministry of Household Affairs and distributed to the county government, and then to the farmers."
"This gives us room to operate..."
Zhu Di rubbed his fingers.
I feel in my heart that this matter is gradually becoming more difficult to handle.
Because this matter not only involves the vassal king, but also various local officials, local powerful people, and may even involve the Ministry of Household Affairs.
After all, who can be sure that the household department is clean?
If they had carefully checked the accounts, how could they not find any flaws? After all, how could road construction occupy all fertile land!
This is obviously a group of people supporting them behind the scenes!
How dare they embezzle the national treasury so unscrupulously and become the worms of the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Di was filled with anger!
These people simply have no regard for the laws of the country!
The laws of the Ming Dynasty and the imperial edicts written by Lao Zhu himself were extremely strict against corrupt officials!
There are more and more corrupt officials every year who are just skinning their skins and turning them into grass.
Unexpectedly, these people would dare to reach out!
But unlike in the past, the root of the problem this time... is still supported by the vassal king. Behind them, there is the King of Qi!
The King of Qi knew Lao Zhu’s nature.
I also know Zhu Yunxuan's difficulties.
Knowing that after the incident between Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi, he did not dare to embarrass the royal family members again.
The fact that Princess Anqing is safe and sound is proof of this.
Otherwise, considering the crime committed by Princess Anqing, it would not be an exaggeration to be beheaded!
That’s why King Qi dared to be so bold!
"But His Highness Taisun can spare you, but I, Zhu Di, cannot spare you!"
"You are digging into the foundation of Ming Dynasty!"
"I, Zhu Di, will never sit idly by and watch!"
