"good."

Li Chen nodded and said expressionlessly: "As the official document said, is there any evidence for Xu Changqing buying and selling official positions?"

Qian Shiyan replied: "Weichen interrogated two officials of the Ministry of Revenue. They admitted that their official positions were bribed by Xu Changqing for bribing 500 taels and 600 taels of silver respectively, and the dirty silver was also searched at Xu Changqing's home.

, it is now sealed in the Ministry of Justice.”

"In addition, according to the confessions of the two officials, not only that, there were seven people involved in the case. Through various channels, they bribed Xu Changqing through introduction. Xu Changqing accepted them one by one and arranged positions in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian Province, western Sichuan and other places respectively.

, These are all ironclad evidence.”

After listening quietly, Li Chen said, "Okay, this is selling official positions, so there is another one to buy official positions. Do you know who did he, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, buy it from?"

Qian Shiyan's expression suddenly froze.

He never expected Li Chen to ask this question.

All the civil and military officials in the court, who didn’t know that Xu Changqing’s left minister of the Ministry of Revenue was personally granted by the emperor and has been reused to this day since the prince supervised the country?

Qian Shiyan's face, who could not speak for a long time, gradually turned purple.

Li Chen's speech speed was still slow, but his tone gradually became heavier. He said, "You can't speak, I will say it for you."

"Xu Changqing's left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue was the winter of the 14th year of the Great Revenue, and was personally granted by the Emperor. Before that, he served in the Ministry of Revenue for more than thirteen years, step by step from a lowest-level deputy envoy to an ambassador, and then to

He was the chief minister, then he was the Minister of State, the Doctor, and the Last Left Minister."

"You said he bought an official, so did this money be bribed to the current emperor!"

Li Chen's last words were accompanied by the slap of his palms slapping on the desk table. The loud noise without warning was frightened by Qian Shiyan.

He hurriedly said, "No, no, I have no intention!"

"Since you don't have this intention, then you can explain to me again. What does this mean by buying and selling official positions?"

Li Chen's eyes were like sharp arrows, piercing Qian Shiyan's heart.

Qian Shiyan's heart was beating wildly. He knew that he could not answer this question well, so he was done.

However, Qian Shiyan was somewhat capable and quick-witted to be the Minister of Justice. He immediately opened his mouth: "The crime is wrong. He just accepted bribes and sold official positions, but this is also a serious crime."

Li Chen sneered and said, "What a crime is wrong. The left minister of the Ministry of Revenue. As a third-rank official, how much time and money is needed to train him in the court? Now, if you are wrong, then you will be finished?

”

"Okay, I'll ask you again. Xu Changqing has two serious crimes. He has already asked about buying and selling officials. The second crime is that theft of the Ministry of Revenue's treasury silver was caused by his position. What evidence is there?"

With the previous lessons, Qian Shiyan has really learned his cleverness. After careful consideration of each word, he said: "The Ministry of Revenue's treasury 30,000 taels of silver have been stolen, and the prefect of the capital has already caught the stolen.

After being questioned, these thieves confessed that Xu Changqing asked them to steal the 30,000 taels of silver after being stolen from inside and outside. This is also ironclad evidence."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Shiyan found that Li Chen's eyes were sharper than a knife.

His heart was beating wildly, and Qian Shiyan thought about it. This statement would never involve the emperor again, so he should not be able to grasp the handle.

"Qian Shiyan, Qian Shiyan."
