A few days later, a batch of gold ingots poured into major gambling houses in the capital, all with official seals engraved on the bottom.
The gold ingots were turned over several times, and one of them fell into the hands of the newly appointed Jing Zhaoyin.
At the same time, someone anonymously reported Mr. Qian's corruption and bribery. The time of the incident, the person who took the bribe, and how much money he took were all clearly written down.
If it were the previous Mr. Zhang, perhaps this matter could be covered up in private.
But the new one is selfless.
When I saw it was disaster relief money, I got angry on the spot.
"Come here!" Jing Zhaoyin shouted angrily: "Follow me to Master Qian's residence."
Jing Zhaoyin went to find Mr. Qian aggressively. When Jing Zhaoyin came to the door, Mr. Qian's eyelids twitched for no reason, especially when he saw the group of officers and soldiers behind him, he became increasingly uneasy.
"Why are Jing Zhaoyin here?" Lord Qian asked pretending to be calm.
Jing Zhaoyin handed the anonymous letter and the gold ingot to Lord Qian.
After reading the letter, Mr. Qian said it was impossible.
"This gold ingot was personally confirmed by the shopkeepers of several gambling houses. It was the gambling debt repaid by Master Qian. You did go to Wuzhou a few years ago. Master Qian, you are so brave!"
Jing Zhaoyin roared angrily: "You dare to embezzle money from the disaster area. Do you know how many people died in that disaster?"
The more he talked, the angrier he became. Jing Zhaoyin wished he could kill Mr. Qian with a knife.
Master Qian was speechless. He was indeed greedy for money, but he didn't remember such a thing at all.
After calming down and thinking about it, Mr. Qian said that he was wronged.
He was not greedy for money from the disaster area at all.
"This is a frame-up. How could I embezzle disaster relief money and dare to use it to pay off gambling debts with such arrogance? Anyone with any brains would melt the gold bars and destroy the marks. Such a low-grade frame-up method. How could Jing Zhaoyin use it to pay off gambling debts?"
Are you being taken advantage of?"
Mr. Qian has been an official for many years and is used to seeing all kinds of people, so he has long developed a sharp tongue.
Speaking of this, Jing Zhaoyin hesitated for a moment.
"Jing Zhaoyin, although I have been demoted from my official position, I am not allowed to be bullied!"
Mr. Qian said with some confidence.
Who would use such a stupid method to frame himself?
If he catches him, let's see how he teaches him a lesson.
Just when Jing Zhaoyin hesitated, a man dressed as a guard suddenly appeared and knelt in front of Jing Zhaoyin.
"My subordinates can report Mr. Qian's corruption and bribery. In recent years, Mr. Qian has often accepted bribes for gambling. The Wuzhou Disaster Relief Bank is indeed in Mr. Qian's house. In the past few months, the Qian family has incurred huge expenses, and the creditors have demanded
In a hurry, the Qian family simply didn’t have time to finance it, so Mr. Qian carelessly gave the gold ingot to meet the emergency.”
Master Qian stared at the guard with sharp eyes, raised his foot and kicked him hard in the heart: "Qian Ba, what nonsense are you talking about? Who gave you the courage to slander me?"
Qian Ba was kicked to the ground. He was not in a hurry and stood up slowly, his eyes firm: "
If you don’t believe me, you can search Madam Qian’s yard and there is still a batch of gold ingots that have not been destroyed!”
"You!" Mr. Qian was angry and anxious. Seeing that he was so sure, there must be a batch of gold ingots in Mrs. Qian's yard.
If someone finds him, Mr. Qian cannot imagine the consequences.
"Jing Zhaoyin, you have no right to search the house!" Mr. Qian said angrily.
Jing Zhaoyin was not in a hurry and sent people to surround the Qian family.
He turned around and went into the palace to ask for a search warrant from the emperor. When he told the story, Emperor Lingzhou felt so angry that his liver ached and his eyelids twitched.
There is no storm without fire, Emperor Lingzhou waved his hand.
"allow!"
Jing Zhaoyin immediately went to Qian's house with a search warrant.
At that time, Mrs. Qian was still confused and had no idea what was going on. She only saw that there were many officers and soldiers there, and it seemed that it was not a good thing.
Especially when these officers and soldiers rushed over and turned her yard upside down.
"What are you doing?" she asked angrily.
After a while, the officers and soldiers found a locked box from under the makeup box. When they opened it, they saw that it was full of gold ingots. When they opened the bottom, they found a small official seal printed on it.
"This is my dowry, how dare you touch it?"
Mrs. Qian didn't know, so she reached out to grab it.
That was the last piece of money the Qian family had. It was sent over by that bitch Zhao Qianru a few days ago, asking the Qian family to help speak to Concubine Yu.
Mrs. Qian then forgave Mr. Qian and regretted making such a fuss.
Unfortunately, it was too late, she caused Master Qian to be demoted.
Two officers and soldiers stopped Mrs. Qian. After checking, Jing Zhaoyin asked coldly: "Dowry? It seems that Mrs. Qian's natal family is also involved in this matter."
Mr. Qian saw that a box of gold ingots had been marked, his eyelids twitched fiercely, and he quickly winked at Mrs. Qian.
It's a pity that Mrs. Qian didn't understand what it meant, but she vaguely knew that it was not a good thing.
"This is disaster relief money. Where did Mrs. Qian come from?"
Disaster relief?
Mrs. Qian said something was wrong: "How come there are disaster relief funds in my house?"
After several rounds of dealings, Mrs. Qian finally knew what was going on and bit Zhao Qianru immediately.
"This was sent by Zhao Qianru, Jing Zhaoyin should check her out!"
Mrs. Qian was in a panic, how could she dare to involve her mother's family.
Jing Zhaoyin looked at her incoherent words and lost his patience: "You two, please come with me."
He held Emperor Lingzhou's token in his hand, and with a command, several important people including Mrs. Qian and Lord Qian were taken away.
Mrs. Qian struggled: "Jing Zhaoyin, if you have something to say, please speak up. You are embarrassing me!"
The Qian family is considered a prestigious person in the capital, if they were taken away by Jing Zhaoyin like this.
You can't help but be laughed at to death.
Jing Zhaoyin ignored the two of them and walked away.
Mrs. Qian's face turned green with anger, and she had no choice but to follow her.
