595:The pigs are fattened and then slaughtered 1
Before the eunuch could bring up the evidence, the poor official's body became weak and he fell half down.
Because they all know that Ye Siheng either doesn't say what he says or doesn't do anything, or he means it.
The eunuch came forward with a booklet and handed it to all the adults.
Among them, Master Jin's is even an inch thicker.
No one dared to answer.
Yesi Heng held the tea cup, blew on the foam on it, and said slowly: "Take a good look and check to see if there are any errors or omissions. I think I have not wronged you."
Still no one dared to pick up.
Perhaps it means that they don't want to see it, as it seems that they can live longer by doing so.
Yesi Heng became impatient and raised his eyes to look at them coldly.
This frightened the poor officials.
They quickly took it and just glanced at it casually. Their faces were as pale as vegetables and their bodies were trembling.
Not only the last two years, but even the one hundred taels they received ten years ago were registered!
Mr. Jin quickly flipped through a few pages and then prostrated on the ground: "Your Majesty, have mercy on me! Your Majesty, have mercy on me! I'm just... just temporarily obsessed!"
Others quickly confessed and pleaded for mercy.
The eunuch took the fold back and presented it to Emperor Mu Wu for review.
At first, Emperor Mu Wu was still wondering why they were so frightened, but after a quick glance, he saw that he had lost the bargain and said: "Okay! A minister of the Ministry of Justice can be greedy for two hundred thousand taels! Let alone someone like you named Jin.
, three hundred thousand taels have been confiscated from the Ministry of Household Affairs over the past few years!"
Li Bin was stunned, almost in disbelief.
Because these officials from poor families usually have the most honest style, they have ordinary food and clothing, and they look like they are doing things for the people.
But they actually stole so much money!
Yesi Heng also didn’t forget to touch up the last hit:
"This is not important. During this snowstorm, the Ministry of Revenue really has no money. Mr. Cao Ge took the lead and asked the officials to donate some money. But as for them, I said that this donation can be anonymous, but you are
Don’t cherish this opportunity.”
"I don't even need to look through the list. I remember how much you donated. Each of you donated three to five hundred taels to send the emperor away! This is really a crime that deserves death. He should have his family confiscated and his family exterminated."
After saying this, Emperor Mu Wu was so angry that his face turned livid.
Seeing this, Ye Siheng hurriedly asked the head eunuch to bring him a cup of ginseng tea, "Brother Emperor, don't be angry. They have been accustomed to acting clean these years, and with the Overwatch Council watching, they don't dare to spend their money. Those gold
The silver jewelry is either hidden in a villa or in the basement of your home. You can send someone to count it later and move it back to the treasury."
Emperor Mu Wu took a sip of ginseng tea and nodded: "Yes, it's not worth losing my body because of these bitches."
But Master Jin and others could no longer stop kowtowing and made a "dong-dong-dong" sound:
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I have realized my mistake! I am willing to donate all my money!"
Emperor Mu Wu said: "I am not willing to take out the money until I am about to die. What did I do earlier?!"
When he remembered that he had exhausted all his efforts to raise money for disaster relief and could not sleep at night, he was so angry that his chest hurt.
But what about them?
Donate three to five hundred taels?
Some even donated only one hundred taels!
It’s really disgusting!
He waved his hand and said: "Pull it down and let the Supervisory Yuan investigate and deal with it strictly!"
None of these people can survive.
As for his family members, even if they could escape, they would not be able to escape the fate of exile.
They were the light of the family, but after today, they are the shame of the family and will suffer endless rebuke.
Master Jin and others are still pleading hard for themselves.
Before dragging them down, the Yulin Guards also blocked their mouths to prevent them from continuing to yell and scream.
There are only three or five officials from poor families left.
Their official positions range from big to small.
It’s not that I’ve never been greedy, but the amount of money I’m greedy for is not that much.
But now their faces were pale and they were covered in cold sweat, as if they would fall down if the wind blew.
They didn't dare to raise their heads, still waiting for Yesi Heng's trial.
Unexpectedly, Ye Siheng asked: "Are you still going to impeach me?"
Several people were stunned and looked up at Yesi Heng.
It took me a while to react.
It turned out that I was talking about Li Bin.
An official hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have done some stupid things in recent years. I want to go back to my house immediately to take stock!"
He didn't want to care about this small matter of impeachment.
Others say the same thing.
Yesi Heng was very satisfied, and his eyes softened a lot: "I see that you are sincerely serving the court and the people, and you don't receive much money, so I didn't take out your coupons. Fortunately,
I have not misjudged you, you know how to advance and retreat."
He then ordered them to move the money to the Overwatch Council late at night, so as not to be seen by others and damage their reputation.
Several people wiped the cold sweat from Ji's forehead and were touched by Ye Siheng's thoughtfulness and protection. They were grateful at this moment.
The officials almost crawled back home.
When Emperor Mu Wu saw them retreating, he asked: "Ninth brother, how much have they been greedy?"
"Three to fifty thousand taels, maybe."
Emperor Mu Wu's expression changed again: "Three to fifty thousand taels?! You just spared them so lightly? Why don't you discuss it with me! Do you still have this imperial brother in your eyes?!"
As the saying goes, a penny can stump a heroic man. The previous snow disaster only cost him ten thousand taels, but he still had a headache for two or three days.
Yesi Heng said helplessly: "Brother Emperor, please leave some way for others to survive. They are all dead. Who else can you, the emperor, control?"
Emperor Mu Wu was stunned for a moment before calming down, "That's what you said."
He was holding his breath and was a little confused for a moment.
Since they are all officials in the imperial court, it is normal to get some money for themselves to support themselves in old age. The amount is not too large, and successive emperors are not very good at it.
After all, people have to eat enough to have the strength to work.
If you push someone into a hurry, trouble will easily happen.
Those in power should be relaxed and moderate.
Li Bin underneath was quite uneasy.
Is this something he can hear?
But without the permission of Emperor Mu Wu and the Ninth Prince, he could not retreat.
Emperor Mu Wu finally remembered that there was Li Bin. He looked over and sighed softly: "Li Bin, your father has done a lot for the country and the people over the years. You don't need to be too cruel. Just go and see him occasionally.
Let him."
Half of Cao Ge's disciples have fallen. According to his character, he will either go to death to save his reputation or resign and go back to his hometown to retire.
Li Bin cupped his hands and responded: "I sincerely obey the emperor's teachings."
Whether or not you want to go is another matter.
Yesi Heng and Li Bin left the side hall together.
Although Li Bin was a little scared, he still stepped forward to say thanks: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for rescuing the siege today. I am deeply grateful."
