In the Longevity Palace, sandalwood rose from the copper furnace and filled every corner of the palace.

Jiajing still had some old feelings for Yan Song, but he had no good impression of Yan Shifan at all. He asked disapprovingly: "Xu Aiqing, how do you think we should deal with it?"

"I believe that this case should be handled impartially and we should find out whether what Lin Run reported is true!" Xu Jie, still kneeling on the ground, responded with a righteous look.

Jiajing knew that Xu Fan's second daughter was married to Yan Shifan's son Yan Shaoting, and asked with great interest: "Xu Aiqing, do you really think Yan Shifan is plotting rebellion?"

Although he didn't like Yan Shifan, he actually didn't believe it when he said that Yan Shifan was going to raise a flag to rebel in Jiangxi. In the Chenhao Rebellion in Jiangxi in the past, King Ning had money and troops, but it only took forty-three days for the rebellion to break out.

They were pacified by Wang Shouren, the governor of southern Jiangxi.

Yan Shifan was just a deserter, and he was essentially a man who could not protect himself. Now that Yan Shifan was protected by Yan Song, he could only survive in Jiangxi. How could he seek death?

The most important thing is that with his understanding of Yan Song, it is impossible for him to allow his son to behave like this.

"Reporting to the emperor, it is related to the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. I dare not make rash judgments!" Xu Jie did not answer directly, and then talked eloquently: "According to Lin Run, the censor of Nanjing, Yan Shifan's slave Yan Nian and his schemer Peng Kong's family

Billions of millions, Yan Shifan even said: The imperial court is not as rich as me! Although it has no military power, its wealth is probably... richer than the country. Although Lin Yushi's words are shocking, I'm afraid they are not groundless. Please be careful, Your Majesty!"

The family slave Yan Nian and the schemer Peng Kong have a family fortune of hundreds of millions? The imperial court is not as rich as me?

Feng Bao and Chen Hong secretly exchanged glances, feeling surprised and worried for the Yan family.

Why did Shen Wansan die in the past? It was because Shen Wansan didn't know how to collect wealth, which made Taizu focus on Shen Wansan. Now Yan Shifan's servants and counselors are so rich, and Yan Shifan even said that "the imperial court is not as rich as me."

, this financial resource is already beyond imagination.

After Xu Jie's analysis, the matter was not only about whether Yan Shifan was conspiring to rebel, but also about Yan Shifan's astonishing wealth.

Jiajing naturally knew that Yan Shifan's hands were not clean, otherwise he would not have insisted on sentencing Yan Shifan to guard the border in Leizhou. He squinted his eyes slightly and asked playfully: "A little domestic slave is worth hundreds of millions?"

"Although this matter is unbelievable, I am afraid that Yushi Lin has verified it and will definitely not slander a domestic slave! Now Yan Shifan only has such financial resources, but he gathers four thousand people to steal in the mountains and forests, but it is endangering the Ming Dynasty!" Xu

Lai Xun followed the temptation and responded with a look of pain.

Jiajing's face became more and more indifferent. He picked up a memorial and snorted coldly: "The ancestors of the Yan family are not from a wealthy family. Where did their money come from?"

this……

When Huang Jin heard this question, he couldn't help but secretly turned his head to look at Jiajing, wanting to peep into the emperor's thoughts. Obviously, the sentence "The imperial court is not as rich as me" had stimulated the emperor, and the emperor's feelings for Yan Shifan

Wealth produces anger.

"Your Majesty, back then, Yan Shifan was sentenced to eight hundred taels for his corruption of ink. Eight hundred taels should not be the real number of his corruption! It's just that I have no evidence, but I don't dare to say nonsense!" Xu Jie made a small guess, and then attitude

Responded neutrally.

When Feng Bao heard Xu Jie's answer, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes secretly and said: What he wanted to say, but he didn't keep a single word. You still say you don't dare to mess up?

As for Yan Shifan's embezzlement of eight hundred taels back then, everyone knows that this cannot be a real number. Even if Xu Jie now gives them to the leaders in the palace, the actual number is far more than this number.

However, after what Xu Jie said, the emperor was probably thinking of Yan Shifan's corruption of ink, and there seemed to be only one answer. The wealth that "the imperial court is not as rich as me" came from Yan Shifan's years of corruption.

Jiajing saw the memorial pleading for Yan Shifan in his hand, and an inexplicable fire immediately surged into his heart. He threw the memorial down and said: "We must find out the truth as soon as possible during the interrogation of the three divisions!"

As the memorial fell, the eunuchs, including Huang Jin, knelt on the ground one after another.

"I accept your order!" Xu Jie, who had been kneeling on the ground, bowed respectfully.

Jiajing exhaled a breath, waved his hand and said: "Go down!"

"I retire, long live my emperor!" Xu Jie saluted respectfully again, and then retreated in a dignified manner, but a hint of cunning clearly flashed through his low-browed eyes.

Feng Bao looked at Xu Jie leaving and sighed sadly, knowing that Yan Shifan was probably doomed this time.

If it was just because of being slandered by Lin Run for rebelling, the emperor would probably continue to send him to the army for the sake of their father and son's affection.

It's just that Yan Shifan now chooses to say such mindless words as "the imperial court is not as rich as me", which is simply seeking death. No matter how rich Yan Shifan is, he can't say it to the outside world.

But I have to admit that Yan Shifan's disaster does not deserve sympathy at all. It is completely a self-inflicted disaster. It can be said to be a model of "trouble comes from the mouth".

Xu Jie walked out of the Longevity Palace, facing the bright spring light outside, looking up at the blue sky, with a satisfied smile on his face.

Back at Wuyi Hall, he originally wanted to send his favorite disciple Zhang Siwei to go on an errand, but then he remembered that Zhang Siwei and that boy were still "imprisoned" in Shuntian Gongyuan, so he sent others there.

Once the news came out, it naturally caused an uproar in the capital.

However, as the family slave Yan Nian and the counselor Peng Kong had a fortune of hundreds of millions and Yan Shifan said that "the imperial court is not as rich as me", the simple people in Beijing hated Yan Shifan to the bone, especially when they thought of the mentions that Yan Shifan had been burdened with over the years.

His pockets are filled with the urge to eat his flesh raw.

The three-division joint trial was the highest level of court trial in the Ming Dynasty.

The so-called three departments are naturally the Ministry of Punishment, the Imperial Procuratorate and the Dali Temple. But it is different from those years ago. The current chiefs of the three departments have already changed. Among them, Huang Guangsheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Zhang Yongming, the censor of Zuodu, and Zhang Shouzhi, the minister of Dali Temple.

After receiving the order, Zhang Yongming, the censor of Zuodu, and Zhang Shouzhi, the minister of Dali Temple, came to the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment. After a brief discussion, they interrogated Yan Shifan together.

Yan Shifan, wearing a clean prison uniform, walked into the courtroom. Facing these three high-ranking bosses, his eyes showed no fear at all. Instead, he looked at the three senior officials present with a half-smile.
