Telling about the dirty things he has done, is it because he thinks he will not die soon enough?
It shouldn’t be!
Han Xu could not figure out how those people who were captured in Beizhen Fusi could be so unwise.
It feels very unreasonable.
Normally, one would grit one's teeth and hold on for a while, because if these things are not spoken out, one might still be able to survive.
Once you say it, you will definitely die!
Even if some of these people are cowards and idiots, it is impossible for all of them to be so unwise.
Looking at the calm and steady Jiang Fan, Han Xu did not dare to look down upon him and thought to himself: "What method did this guy use?"
the other side.
Looking at the more than one hundred carts of gold and silver that filled the square, Zhu Youxiao looked gloomy. According to Jiang Fan's statistics, the total value of these gold, silver and jade articles has exceeded 25 million taels of silver.
Moreover, some valuable objects, calligraphy and paintings, antiques and the like were not brought to the scene.
You must know that the Ming Dynasty's annual tax revenue was only more than 4 million taels, of which more than 1 million taels were obtained from the industrial and commercial tax collected through Wei Zhongxian's reforms in the past two years.
Otherwise, it would only be more than three million taels. Excluding various expenses, the amount that can actually go into the national treasury will only be several hundred thousand taels throughout the year. Sometimes, the national treasury will even defray the amount.
But these officials and wealthy businessmen, through illegal means, actually accumulated 25 million taels of silver. How shocking!
How much of the people's fat and oil has been mixed with the blood and tears of the people?
No wonder there are constant rebellions everywhere, it’s all because of these beasts!
Now Zhu Youxiao wanted to kill all these people in Lingchi to relieve the hatred in his heart.
But having said that, Jiang Fan really gave Zhu Youxiao a surprise.
With these 25 million taels of silver, Zhu Youxiao can do a lot of things. At least he doesn’t have to worry about Liaodong’s military expenses for the time being!
Looking at Han Xu, Zhou Yanru and others, Zhu Youxiao was a little eager to give it a try. He estimated that these people should also have a lot of wealth.
Should we kill the chicken to get the eggs?
And when Jiang Fan put the evidence and confessions in front of them, Han Xu and others were speechless at this time, pretending to be ostriches, wishing to bury their heads in the soil, and did not dare to look directly into Zhu Youxiao's fiery eyes.
"Master Han, with so much gold and silver, you wouldn't say it's the salary of those officials, right?"
Hearing Jiang Fan pointing the finger at him, Han Xu's mouth twitched slightly. As for the property confiscated from the officials' mansions, even if they worked for two hundred years, they would not be able to save so much money. It was naturally obtained by corruption and perversion of the law.
How dare he excuse it.
"Master Han, why didn't you speak? Weren't you very eloquent just now?"
Jiang Fan had long disliked these old men, and said to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, Mr. Han Xuhan has repeatedly protected corrupt officials. I requested an order to search the Han Mansion to see if Mr. Han is really a man of integrity. I believe that Mr. Han
Your Excellency is also willing to prove your innocence, don’t you think so, Mr. Han?”
What a fart!
Thinking of the small treasury at home, Han Xu turned pale and sweated profusely.
If he really wants Jin Yiwei to come to his door, he will have his house confiscated and his family exterminated!
Zhu Youxiao looked at Han Xu: "Ahem, Han Aiqing, are you willing to prove your innocence?"
I don't understand!
Han Xu was about to cry, but if he objected at this time, wouldn't it mean that he had a guilty conscience?
And looking at Zhu Youxiao's attitude, even if he objects, it will be ineffective. He just hopes that Jin Yiwei will not search his secret treasury!
At this moment, Han Xu wanted to slap himself in the mouth. Why did you say you had nothing to do to provoke Jiang Fan?
It's fine now, the fire has burned myself.
At the moment, Han Xu could only bite the bullet, put on a distressed look, and said: "Since the emperor doesn't trust the ministers, let the imperial guards search them. But this move will probably chill the hearts of all the officials!"
Gu Wei
"Master Han is worrying too much. He who is righteous will become righteous himself. I believe that if you have no evil intentions in your hearts, you won't mind...right, lords?"
Jiang Fan glanced at the other officials, who all avoided Jiang Fan's gaze and nodded unnaturally.
Of course they didn't mind, and they even wanted to chop Jiang Fan into minced meat and feed it to the dogs.
But whoever dares to stand out at the moment is afraid that the Jin Yiwei will come to send warmth in the blink of an eye. They have done some shameful things more or less, and they can't bear the trouble.
Seeing that no one spoke for him, Han Xu felt cold in his heart, but he still did not give up. He said to Jiang Fan: "I am an honest official, so I am not afraid of him. But what if the governor can't find him?"
Jiang Fan smiled and said: "It's okay. We, the Jinyi Guards, are busy trying to prove Mr. Han's innocence. If we can't find it, it means that Mr. Han abides by the law. It's worth it for us, the Jinyi Guards, to be a little tired."
Damn it, don’t I still have to thank you?
Han Xu had the urge to vomit blood.
Jiang Fan walked to Han Xu and whispered: "And we will definitely be able to find it. Even if your family doesn't have it, we can make it available to your family?"
The voice was so low that only Han Xu could hear it.
Han Xu's eyes widened and he said fiercely: "You want to frame me!"
"With your virtue, even if I frame you, no one will object. And you don't know if it's a frame-up, or have you just pretended to be sanctimonious for so long that even you believe it?"
Jiang Fan whispered, and Zhu Youxiao next to him also spoke.
"I'm sure about this. Jiang Aiqing is affected, so please make a trip!"
"I obey the decree."
Jiang Fan glanced at Han Xu, who was ashen-faced, and led the Jin Yiwei directly to the Han Mansion.
More than half an hour later, Jiang Fan returned with several carts of gold, silver, jade, calligraphy and paintings.
In addition, there are some servants and servants of the Han family who serve as witnesses.
"Ahem~"
Zhu Youxiao coughed twice symbolically: "Han Xu, now that the witnesses and physical evidence are all there, what else do you have to say?"
Han Xu's mouth trembled, he collapsed on the ground, his eyes filled with tears, and he said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I...I haven't spent even a tael of this money, so I don't dare. Our family has been farmers for generations, and we are afraid of poverty!"
"When you were making a lot of money, why didn't you think that these were the people's wealth?"
Zhu Youxiao was really angry. He coughed twice excitedly, then waved his hand: "Take it out and hand it over to the Ministry of Justice for trial. You will be punished severely."
Then he looked at Jiang Fan and said, "Jiang Aiqing is very aware of everything and has worked hard for the imperial court to dig out these worms in the country. You are indispensable. I now appoint you as the commander of the Jinyiwei and take over the authority of the Jinyiwei with full authority."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Jiang Fan knew that his second main mission was secure.
However, I haven’t heard the system prompt yet, maybe it’s the official seal, and the official server hasn’t been obtained yet.
"I am tired and loyal. I will leave the rest of the matter to you. I will never tolerate these people who are corrupt and pervert the law."
Zhu Youxiao pretended to be listless and left with the help of the chief eunuch.
Jiang Fan didn't care how Wei Zhongxian dealt with those arrested. He was just waiting to be promoted to commander of the Jinyi Guards and complete the mission.
The next day, when the imperial decree came down, Jiang Fan was officially promoted and received a salary increase, and received the official position, official seal, token and official robe of the Commander of the Imperial Guard.
After Jiang Fan changed into the official robe of the commander of the Imperial Guard, a long-awaited system prompt sounded.
