The cries of the Gaofu family were loud, and the cries of the female family members and domestic slaves almost pierced the sky.
Yang Biao shook his head and said in a joking tone: "Gao Yang thinks very highly of himself and has contradicted the prison princess several times. I originally thought he was very incorruptible, but now it seems that he is nothing more than gold and jade, with nothing but failures."
"These bachelors in the Hanlin Academy are not good things."
Yang Shou's tone was filled with anger.
A large box of copper coins was brought out from the Gao Mansion. Yang Biao was very angry. A mere fifth-grade bachelor had so much money hidden at home. If he said that he did not collect black money, who would believe it.
Su Lu disapproved of this: "My lord, I have seen less of you. Who among the officials in the government and the public is incorruptible? It's just a matter of different degrees. Those who are like you now are just laughing at fifty steps and a hundred steps."
Yang Biao's expression changed and he looked at Su Lu: "What does Mr. Hou mean by this?"
Su Lu smiled and looked at Yang Biao: "Princess supervises the country. I think you understand the emperor's thoughts. This time, Zhongshu Ling is not only a high official in the imperial court, but also the right minister of the princes."
Yang Biao narrowed his eyes when he heard this. No wonder the princess actually called her name during a simple house search. Now it seems that this was coercion and inducement.
"Mr. Yang has little talent and little knowledge, so he may not be able to take on a big job."
Yang Biao wanted to wait for the price, but there were not many officials who could serve as Zhongshu Ling. Among the six ministers, he was the only one who met the requirements and could turn to the princess.
Su Lu nodded: "That's fine. Mr. Yang is self-aware, so I won't mention it. General Pang De has been serving as the left minister of the Ministry of War for some time."
Yang Biao was stunned when he heard this, and regrets welled up in his heart. How could he forget that he still had a choice in the military? Old Pang De was born in the army and had no dealings with those civil servants. The princess used Pang De and immediately established a faction.
It may be easier to use than myself.
"Master Marquis, let's discuss it again. The matter is serious and we can't mess around."
Yang Biao said anxiously.
Next to him, Eunuch Bai narrowed his eyes with a smile and gave Su Lu a thumbs up.
Gao Yang was tied up and pushed out of the house. When he saw Yang Biao and Su Lu in front of the door, he struggled directly in front of Yang Biao: "Shang Shu, save me."
"I know that Shangshu personally asked for the job of confiscating the house because he was afraid that I would be bullied by Su Lu and these eunuchs. Shangshu please save me."
Yang Biao was thinking mmm, I don’t know, I really thought I had any friendship with you, but Gao Yang is finished this time, so we can’t leave a bad impression on Su Lu.
"Sir Gao, not to mention your slander against the princess, not to mention your collusion with rebellion, just these corrupt silver and copper coins can chop your head off ten or eight times."
Yang Biao pointed at Gao Yang's nose and scolded, "Your grandson is already finished and cannot be finished anymore, but you still want to drag me down. They say that the Hanlin officials in the Hanlin Academy are not good people. Now it seems that this statement is true."
"Here comes someone, drag him away quickly."
Yang Biao roared.
Su Lu ignored Yang Biao's discussion of Zhongshu Ling and spoke:
"According to what the princess said, 20% of the proceeds from the house raid will be used for rewards, the remaining 30% will go to the Household Department, 30% will go to the inner treasury, and 20% will go to the private treasury of Dingxiang Army."
Yang Biao immediately refused: "No, no, this allocation is too hasty. Such a large amount of money is a huge sum once it is achieved. I want to see the princess, so I can't allocate it like this."
Su Lu waved his hand, and the clerk in charge of bookkeeping came over and reported to the three of them: "This time the house was searched, a total of one hundred catties of gold, one hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver, thirty million yuan, and the remaining antique calligraphy and paintings, the detailed number
It has been recorded here."
Yang Biao grabbed the booklet and opened it excitedly. When he saw the rows of numbers on it, his eyes widened with joy.
Okay, the Ministry of Finance is short of money. Last time, the home of a group of criminals who colluded with the Cao Gang in Su Luchao was taken away by Beiyang Xingying before they could keep warm in the Treasury of the Ministry of Finance after they got the money.
Yang Biao thought about it, this time he wouldn't give it to anyone who asked for it. He couldn't be like last time. After being fooled by the three provinces, he gave it away directly. When he came to give out rice and silver to the officials in the court, he was anxious to pull out his hair.
.
"Hehe, hehe, Mr. Hou, let's discuss it."
Old Yang Biao looked at Su Lu with a silly smile, his face full of flattery:
"There is a problem with our division. There are too many rewards. How can it be 20%? I think it should be 10% and no more."
Su Lu gave him a look. He really thought that the 20% was given to the sergeants below, and most of it was not given to the princess's treasury. He really thought that Eunuch Bai came out to announce the decree, and that he came to show the princess the money.
Eunuch Bai said with a smile: "Two adults, this house confiscation should be almost done. I think it's time to separate these things. Before our family came, the princess told us that we want all the calligraphy and paintings. The two of you will watch.
Just give me some."
After Eunuch Bai finished speaking, he directly commanded the few young eunuchs who were following him without waiting for the two of them to speak.
"Take down all the calligraphy and paintings in that box."
"Take this box of gold."
"What kind of copper coins do you need? They are needed in the palace and can still be used to reward important ministers."
Eunuch Bai jumped up and down, perfectly collecting all the valuable things into his car. After finishing packing, he greeted the two of them.
"My lords, I will take away what needs to be taken away. It seems that the amount is not enough, but the princess considers the two lords and the rewards of the sergeants, so she will not take any more."
Eunuch Bai left happily.
Looking at Eunuch Bai's white shadow, Yang Biao sighed and cursed: "You greedy eunuch."
Su Lu was also a bit big-headed, and Eunuch Bai took away nearly 20% of it at once, so it would be difficult to divide it.
Yang Biao rolled his eyes and said: "Master Hou, how about this, let's redistribute it again. The Ministry of Revenue will take 50% of the rest, and the remaining 30% will be allocated to the Marquis, and the remaining 20% will go into the house.
Library."
Su Lu looked embarrassed: "Master Yang, it's very difficult for me to do this. When the emperor asks you later, how should I answer?"
Yang Biao patted his chest: "Master Hou, please tell me directly. Most of the money has been taken away by the Ministry of Revenue, and you have taken even less than the inner treasury. Is this possible?"
Su Lu had a look of pain on his face: "Since Mr. Yang is loyal, I can't be stingy. The country is in a difficult situation now, money is being used everywhere, and the Ministry of Revenue is in trouble. Sir, I will take 60%, and I will decide on the remaining 40%."
Half for the Xiangjun Yamen and half for the inner treasury."
Yang Biao looked happy and solemnly saluted Su Lu with clasped fists: "Master Hou is so righteous. I, Yang Biao, am deeply grateful. I won't say anything more. The Ministry of Husbandry fully cooperates with the princess to supervise the country. All orders from the princess will be obeyed."
.”
Su Lu looked at Yang Biao's back. This was an unexpected surprise, even though it cost a little money.
Li Ling came over with a shrinking head, and looked like he had done something bad. He lowered his voice and said to Su Lu:
"Sir, Lao Cheng has withheld about fifty thousand taels of silver. The silver has been transported out of the back door and sealed in the back treasury of the Yamen."
Su Lu nodded: "Let's deal with it quickly and send the money from the emperor's inner treasury to the palace. This time we only need copper coins to keep with the money. We will distribute the rewards when we get back and call Zhao Kuo and others from the government office."
, they have also put in a lot of effort these days."
Li Ling agreed and was about to turn around. A horse came galloping towards him. If Su Lu hadn't been quick and pulled, Li Ling would have been knocked away.
"Eight hundred miles, hurry up, get out of the way"
