Chapter 554(2/3)
There are boxes on both sides of the basement.
The guards have opened several boxes, which contain either copper coins or gold and silver.
When the old servant saw this, his legs went weak and he cried: "Alang, it's over! It's all over!"
King Wei said: "Count it!"
Huang Ping returned to the ground, took a deep breath, "Comfortable."
A guard said: "Mr. Huang, why didn't the king go to find the officials who were involved in this incident? Instead, he came to find the old servant of the Yan family."
Huang Ping said: "You can't find anything by checking the accounts. As for the officials who were related to this incident, I also think that we should check, but once it is done, Yang Songcheng of the Ministry of Revenue will take action and use various means to stop it.
At that time, the king will sit on the wax.
Therefore, the king seems to be blacksmithing, but in fact he is trying to confuse Yang Songcheng and others, but he asked you to wait and check on the old servant of the Yan family.
Think about it, if the Yan family embezzles money, who will transport it? Who will take care of it? It will be their trusted servants.
Otherwise, how could the Yan family and his son have dug such a big hole and brought in so much money?"
The guard said sincerely: "Your Majesty, you are wise!"
"Yes!" Huang Ping stroked his beard, "You are so wise that I feel a little ashamed of myself."
"King!"
King Wei came up and seemed to have heard the conversation between them.
"I have no intention of confusing Yang Songcheng."
"Then the king's blacksmithing is..." Huang Ping was a little stunned.
"Business is great."
…
The amount of money found in the basement was shocking.
"He is so rich! No wonder he wants to leave an illegitimate child outside. On the one hand, it is probably self-destruction, and on the other hand, he is a target. Anyone who wants to investigate the Yan family must first investigate this illegitimate child."
After finding out, someone said they should go back and get someone as soon as possible.
"Don't worry." King Wei was sitting under the eaves, with an old servant kneeling next to him. "This king will send people to find the illegitimate son. If the Yan family learns, they will definitely send people here to warn. If you catch this person, you will have solid evidence.
!”
The next day, early morning.
"Someone!"
There were shouts outside, followed by sounds of fighting.
King Wei is still sleeping.
"Caught it, it's Yan Jiazi!"
"Do you want to report it to the king?"
"The king has already expected it, there is no need for it."
King Wei woke up and saw the captured Yan Jiazi.
Someone suggested, "Your Majesty, the Yan family should be sealed off to prevent the news from leaking."
King Wei shook his head, "No need, I will return to Chang'an immediately, just in time to see Yang Songcheng's ugly appearance."
Huang Ping grinned, "That would be lively."
…
Yan Man has many things to do.
After a busy morning, Master Yan... Yan Man happily made himself a cup of tea, then took out the dry food... dry biscuits he brought from home, and ate two tasteless dry biscuits with the tea.
He burped and said with satisfaction: "Comfortable."
"Mr. Yan, someone is looking for you at home." The disciple came to report.
"I know." Yan Man stood up and went out.
On the way, I met Yang Songcheng who was about to go out for dinner.
"I've met the father-in-law."
"Well!" Yang Songcheng looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze, "Be careful, be careful!"
"yes."
When Yan Man arrived outside the imperial city, he felt nervous when he saw that the person coming was his brother, "But something big happened at home?"
"Second brother, it's bad, there's been an investigation over there."
Yan Man shook his body and said, "Who?"
"Say it's King Wei."
Yan Man smiled and said: "I know, let's go back!"
"Second brother, I've been discovered, what should I do?"
Yan Man turned around and walked steadily.
After returning to his own duty room in the household department, Yan Man's body suddenly relaxed.
"Mr. Yan!" The clerk noticed something was wrong with him.
"It's okay. When the father-in-law comes back, remember to remind me!"
"yes!"
Yan Man sat in the duty room. In the darkness, he covered his face with his hands and began to sob.
"I can't be an official anymore! I can't be an official anymore!"
Then, he cheered up and said, "Even if you are exiled and suffer for a few years at most, the father-in-law can bring my family back. If you can't be an official, then go into business."
Later, Yang Songcheng came back.
"The head of the state, Yan Man, please see me."
"Um!"
Yang Songcheng nodded.
Yan Man came in.
Suddenly he knelt down.
Yang Songcheng raised his head and said calmly: "When this matter came out, you tried every possible means to explain it, and even swore poisonous oaths. But I know that there must be a reason for the groundless rumors. You must be unclean! Hmm!"
Yan Man lowered his head, "The official has failed to live up to the high expectations of the state leader!"
"Say!" Yang Songcheng rubbed his eyebrows.
In his opinion, more than 200,000 yuan is just a small sum of money, and it cannot compare with the amount that the emperor casually rewards people around him.
After being exiled for several years, Yan Man was brought back. How could the officials under his command not act enthusiastically when they saw him?
The first essential quality for a superior person is to protect one’s weaknesses!
"Starting from the lower official Aye..."
Yang Songcheng slowly raised his head.
"Aye, who was demoted, took more than 600,000 yuan."
Yang Songcheng's cheeks trembled slightly.
Yan Man's father was also a member of the Yang family!
Yan Man had no talent for studying and could not pass the imperial examination, so he was assigned to start as a minor official. With Yang's help, he could go smoothly.
"How much corruption have you committed?" Yang Songcheng said calmly.
"The lower official is corrupt... 713,502 yuan."
What a big corrupt official!
There was a big moth in his heart, and Yang Songcheng was furious.
"Xiaguan, I have no use for a single penny! The head of the state!" Yan Man kowtowed, "Xiaguan embezzled fifty yuan for the first time. With that bunch of money, Xiaguan was so flustered that he hid it at home. The second time, the third time... I didn’t dare to spend any money because I was worried about being discovered.”
Yang Songcheng's eyelids twitched, "Wizard!"
This huge corrupt man actually collected the corrupt money without using any of it.
"Then, what are you doing when you are corrupt?"
"Xiaguan, Xiaguan can't help it."
It is this type of people who are said to be those who forget their own righteousness at the sight of profit.
Yan Man kowtowed, "The crime of being a low-ranking official is extremely heinous. I beg the abbot to punish him severely."
