Li Zhonghan is just a small bookkeeper and cannot be regarded as the core figure in the corruption case. At most, he is just a small character who takes the big head and gets a piece of the pie and gets some sweetness. After Han Jian said this, his psychological defense also loosened.

"Your Highness, the lower lord... the lower lord knows very little." Li Zhonghan said distressedly.

Li Zhonghan thought to himself: "I just handed over a hundred taels of silver a year. I am an official, and I am the other Qingshui yamen. I get more than these benefits every year. Who is this to provoke whom?"

Han Jian said calmly: "Then you know how much you say, and you must not hide anything."

"Yes, yes." Li Zhonghan quickly said the benefits he had collected on weekdays like pouring bitter water. Li Zhonghan had looked like a dead pig without fear of boiling water. At this point, he was very cognitive. He could say that he knew everything and said everything. He even said the benefits of how many taels of silver he had collected every year after working in the warehouse for several years.

"Li Shuban has a good memory." Han Jian said coldly, "It's a pity that these can't save your life."

"But the officials know that there is so much money. The money is sent by the superiors, and everyone in the custody department has a share. The officials are helpless. If they don't take it, they have to pretend to be honest. I'm afraid that the job of the officials will not be kept. I hope that the nobles will spare the officials for the sake of the family and the young. This time, the officials are willing to withdraw all the stolen money they had previously distributed..."

Han Jian was annoyed enough to hear Li Zhonghan's nonsense. Now Li Zhonghan said with tears in his nose, as if he was so miserable that he was. Han Jian really didn't want to listen.

"Li Shuban still has many things to explain. If you can't remember, think about it." Han Jian waved his hand and told the guards to take him down. Then Li Zhonghan cried and shouted that he was pulled away.

When the lobby was quiet, Sima Yi, who had not made any noise, came over and asked, "Young Master, even this guy is unwilling to do anything. Are we going to be a little serious and punished them for a big punishment?"

"No hurry." Han Jian said, his eyes falling in the direction of the main hall. At this time, Yang Xi was also hurried over with the guards. Han Jian had originally sent Yang Xi to seal the warehouse. Yang Xi came back so soon, there should be something wrong in the middle.

"Honest Master Yang. The library has been sealed?" Han Jian asked.

"No." Yang Xi said anxiously, "We went to worship a few databases, but when we encountered a group of people in the Cushi Department, they refused to let us block the database, and they also said they wanted to find a sister to judge. As a result, something happened, and several lives were killed or injured. Brother Han. What should you do if you say... what should you do?"

After hearing Yang Xi's words, Han Jian immediately understood the intentions of the Northern King Party members.

Originally, the embassy was the order of the empress, and Han Jian, Yang Xi and others were just executors. The empress would bear the risk of the embassy. If an accident occurred in the middle, the empress would be under pressure to stabilize Luoyang City. Sometimes the empress had to stop to calm the situation.

"The heart is punishable." Han Jian sighed. Those who caused trouble clearly had some instructions. Now most of the officials in the Treasury Department are detained in the Tingwei Mansion. The person behind the scenes is either Ma Jining, who has not yet been brought to justice, or someone else in the Northern King Party.

"We must speed up the action." Han Jian said. "We cannot delay tonight at the latest, as it will change."

Sima Yi said, "But we have no evidence."

"If you don't have evidence, find evidence. Do you need me to teach you?" Han Jian looked at Sima Yi coldly and said.

Sima Yi could see that Han Jian was angry and didn't say anything at the moment, and he really didn't know how to find evidence.

Han Jian calmed down a little and said, "Let's go with me to the prison cell."

Han Jian took Sima Yi Yang Xi, Zhang Xing and others to the Tingwei Mansion cell. At this time, the Tingwei Mansion cell was already crowded, and the officials of the Kusi were almost captured in one go. The senior officials of the Kusi were very calm, without making noise or speaking, as if they were expected that Han Jian would be a farce in the end, while those small officials complained. Their mentality was the same as Li Zhonghan, but they had just received a little benefit, but now they were facing a prison disaster.

Han Jian inspected the cell and looked at the reactions of the officials in the cell. Then Han Jian told Lin Zhan: "Please take officials from the seventh rank below to the main hall in three batches."

"Yes, young master." Lin Zhan took the order to give instructions, and Han Jian returned to the main hall first to wait.

Han Jian returned to the main hall and sat directly at the place where the case was first tried. Then more than a dozen officials from the Treasury Department were taken up. These officials turned around one by one, many of them were even in disheveled clothes, because when Han Jian sent people out to arrest people, many of them were caught directly from the kang at home.

"Your Highness, we are ministers in the same palace. I don't know what you offend. Your Highness wants to ask people for trouble?" A middle-aged official who looked very honest asked Han Jian.

Han Jian said: "I was ordered by the emperor to thoroughly investigate the corruption case of the treasury. How many people know?"

When the officials heard Han Jian's words, they looked at each other. The official asked, "Didn't your highness be ordered to supervise the entry of summer grain into the warehouse? When... we will investigate the corruption case?"

Han Jian did not talk nonsense to him and said directly: "I found the true evidence of the crime. The Treasury Department colluded with the Ministry of Revenue to embezzle and lose a lot of money and grain every year. Do you know?"

The man said again: "Since your highness has evidence, why should we bring us there if you just show the evidence?"

Han Jian's eyes suddenly became cold. He looked at the man and waved his hand and said, "Pull it out and hit dozens of boards first."

Han Jian's statement was not only surprised by the officials below, but also Sima Yi, Lin Zhan and others were shocked. But the guards still obeyed the order and stepped forward to get the people.

The man shouted, "King Dong, since you have been ordered to investigate the case, you have no right to interrogate. You are abused by lynching like this. In our court, those who abuse lynching are equivalent to taking human life aside...ah..."

As he spoke, the man had been dragged out of the door. The yamen had already swung the board and greeted him, so he couldn't even yell out the rest of his words, but he heard a scream.

After all, the officials of the Kushima Department are pampered and not like ordinary people. These people are so delicate and expensive that they can't stand a few yards. After only a few yards, the shouting sounds are already rippling, and the screams are heartbreaking. The other officials of the Kushima Department are silent one by one.

Han Jian said with a calm expression: "I am the king who is ordered to do things and has the right to act cheaply. Even if the handling is inappropriate, Your Majesty will understand it. I believe you should understand this, right?"

The officials below all nodded, and it was said that the Dong King was one of the four kings of the Wei Dynasty. Even if they were murdered and set fire, they would not be punished until they died. If they wanted to die, they would not be punished. Now the Dong King was ordered to handle the matter, and it would be a mistake to beat someone?

Han Jian walked down from the hall, went to the officials of the Treasury Department, and said, "Now I will ask you a question and you will answer honestly. Otherwise, the one outside will be your fate."

The Treasury officials remained silent.

Han Jian walked up to someone and was a middle-aged official. Han Jian thought that such an old man was very knowledgeable and difficult to deal with.

"Do you know the corruption case of Kusi?"

The man replied without thinking, "I don't know."

Han Jian waved his hand directly. The guard immediately stepped forward to grab the person, and dragged him out without saying a word, followed by a tragic cry. Han Jian's handling of this made everyone else feel a little scared.

Han Jian walked to the second person and was a gentle young man.

Han Jian asked, "Do you know?"

"Xiaguan...Xiaguan doesn't know..." The young man glanced at the door and gritted his teeth.

Han Jian didn't say nonsense. He waved his hand again, and someone immediately stepped forward and dragged him out to beat him.

Han Jian beat three people in a row, which had enough intimidation effect. The others lowered their heads, as if they were choreographing speeches.

Han Jian walked to the third person, ten officials in their thirty years old. This time Han Jian didn't need to ask, the man replied directly: "Go back to your highness. The lower official knows some of the case. Some people in the treasury department embezzled the treasury silver, but those are the superiors of the lower official, but they have nothing to do with the lower official."

Han Jian looked at the man, very smooth, but very dishonest.

"Is that so? Then tell me, which boss is yours?" Han Jian asked.

"Yes... it's Hu's leader, no, it's Deputy Leader Xu..."

Han Jian smiled. What this person said was really serious, but he was talking nonsense. Is he going to abandon the car to protect the coach? What about Hu Fen Leader Xu's deputy leader may be his boss in the eyes of these people, but he is not even a big shot compared to a giant like Ma Jining.

"Be honest, pull it out and beat it." Han Jian said calmly.

The guard immediately went up to drag the person, and the man shouted, "Your Highness, what the emperor said is true."

"The truth? When I am so easy to fool?" Han Jian sneered, "You have so much money every year, but you really block your mouth. Now the King of North wants to pry your mouth open."

The man wanted to explain something, but the man had been dragged out and screamed again.

After beating four people in a row, the others probably understood that Han Jian was either trying to make a normal case trial or to be criticized.

Han Jian walked to the fourth person and was also an official who looked very smart in his thirties. Han Jian asked directly: "I won't ask anymore, just tell me."

The man fell to the ground and said frankly: "The officials receive a lot of money every year, and they are sent by the superiors. The officials are not afraid to ask too much, but now they think it is the officials above who embezzle the gains of the deficit and want to take me to wait."

"Well. After talking for a long time, what you said is more reliable." Han Jian praised with a smile, "Then do you think it is the income from the corruption and deficit of which officials above you are?"

"This official... I don't know... I don't know. Please be gentle when you fight..."

As the official said, his body was already trembling, and the screams outside continued. He was also creepy when he heard it. He didn't plead or be beaten, but he pleaded with a gentle beating.

"You inform Your Highness of what you know, what is the fault of you? If there is no fault, why should I hit you?" Han Jian personally helped him up and said, "Stand aside. Although this case is related to you, you have made contributions to the report. After you find out the case, I will report to Your Majesty, give you good rewards, stand by and wait."

The man was like being pardoned by the emperor's grace. He was so grateful that he slipped aside, but he was also very grateful.

When others saw Han Jian so "easy" and they all seemed to find a guiding light.

Han Jian walked to the fifth person, and before he could speak, the man said, "Go back to Your Highness, the lower official also knows that the people above are in deficit and embezzlement. The lower official only gets some payment, and he doesn't know who is corruption and deficit."

Han Jian snorted coldly and said, "Pull it out and beat it."

The man hurriedly shouted, "Your Highness, the official has also told me honestly, why are you still fighting?"

As he said, he couldn't help but look at the one who was let go by Han Jian just now, as if he was saying the same thing, why just hit me instead of him?

Han Jian sneered: "I don't want to hear the same words for the second time, and I don't need two testimonies. Now there is only one opportunity in front of you, that is, to give some cases that others have not disclosed, and if you say it is early, you will be rewarded. After the person is dropped, the outside board will be served and will be guilty of sheltering, and will move with the same crime as the culprit."
