After Chu Qing returned to his house, he began to calculate how much money he owed.
Now that Zhang Songling has been solved, the only thing that bothers him is to pay off foreign debts.
Qiu Wanshan had to fix the loopholes in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Qiu Wanshan also used other people's chickens to lay his own eggs. He didn't mention money, so he probably didn't care.
Tao Ruolin, Ma Rui, Jiang Yuesheng, Zhong Yu, Gongsuntang, and especially the Fu family all borrowed money. In order to get Zhang Songling, the Fu family owed the most, a total of 250,000 yuan.
Chu Qing didn't spend it all. After thinking about it, he decided to pay off the first few people's money first and pay the family's money slowly.
After figuring it out, Chu Qing fell down and went to sleep.
After getting up on the second day, Chu Qing called Butler Bao and gave him the banknotes, asking Butler Bao to deliver the money to the creditors' mansions today.
The housekeeper was a businessman, so he didn't eat anything and left with the banknotes.
Chu Qing placed the few remaining banknotes in his sleeves on the stone table and sighed nervously.
"Now it means that I only owe the Fu family 250,000 yuan."
Looking up at Fu San who was eating a big cake roll with pickles, Chu Qing spread his hands and said, "We only have fourteen thousand guan in our hands now."
Fu San wiped his mouth with the back of his hand: "How come you owe the Fu family so much money?"
"Didn't you let them deceive Zhang Songling's mother-in-law into buying gifts?"
"Didn't the Fu brothers buy the gift?"
"Yes, but I paid the money in advance."
"I paid the money in advance, but I didn't give you any gifts."
"What do I need that thing for? It's not worth anything."
"It's not worth the money so let them refund it."
"Whoever retreats, Zhang Songling will be dead."
"Zhang Songling is dead, but his relatives are still here, aren't they?"
"His relatives are..."
Chu Qing was stunned for a moment, then slapped his forehead hard: "Damn, isn't it? If I return the gift and take the money back, doesn't that mean I don't owe the family money?"
Fu San continued to squat on the ground and eat the big cake, hiding his merit and fame.
Chu Qing quickly calculated.
Zhang Songling gave 50,000 yuan to the palace, but Sun An returned the money. However, the Zhang family sold the rare treasures privately and got 250,000 yuan. It had nothing to do with the palace, so they returned the rare treasures.
, if you want to come back with 250,000 yuan and give it to Fu's family, doesn't that mean you don't owe money?
"Let's go to the government office and take over the inspection today."
"Young Master, the palace has not issued an order yet."
"The fourth child should be able to do it. He should take over in advance to avoid others taking the lead."
After Chu Qing finished speaking, he quickly put on his cloak and ran outside the house.
He didn't even bother to eat. After arriving at the Qianqiying Yamen Office, Chu Qing ran directly into Jiang Yuesheng's squad room.
Sure enough, this guy was like a workaholic. He ate and slept in the squad room and was drinking tea there.
"Do you understand this kind of thing?"
Jiang Yuesheng put down his tea cup and asked puzzledly: "Search matters have always been under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple."
"Are Zhou Youwei and Li Wenli both in charge of the Ministry of Punishment? Have they already gone through the process?"
"Yes, it is said that the Li family of Zhou Dynasty in Beijing confiscated 8,431 taels of silver and more than a thousand acres of fertile land."
"What Ling Youzheng said seems to be true."
Chu Qing scolded his mother: "A bunch of shameless people, two ministers, with a total wealth of more than 8,000 yuan, how can these bastards from the Criminal Department have the nerve to say it?"
Jiang Yuesheng asked in confusion: "Why are you asking about the search?"
"I just took on a big job last night. If I don't understand it, it will be in vain. If I understand it, we can still make some money."
"The palace wants our office to take charge of Zhang Songling's investigation?"
"yes."
"I see." Jiang Yuesheng looked like he was not interested: "The inspection requires checking the property, which consumes a lot of manpower, so why bother."
Chu Qing said angrily: "The manpower is only worth a few dollars. If you do a good job, we will earn him a hundred and eighty thousand, which will be enough for at least two months."
Jiang Yuesheng stood up suddenly, strode out of the classroom, and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Where are all the people dead? Come out and line up for me!"
Jiang Yuesheng had just ordered his younger brothers to join him when the eunuchs from the palace arrived to announce the decree.
Everyone knelt on the ground, and the little eunuch murmured a lot of words. The general meaning was that after the "Qianqi Camp Report", Zhang Songling was related to a certain prince who might have evil intentions, and he had property and family property in his name.
, maybe, maybe, it was coming from something wrong. After thinking about it for a long time, the emperor ordered Qianqiying to be responsible for statistics, inspection, and inspection of the Zhang family's "black income."
After receiving the imperial edict, Chu Qing remembered what Huang Laosi said last night. This emperor has really never seen the world, and he is quite shameless.
I also reported it through Qianqiying. Whoever reported it, it’s a shame that the emperor could come up with this reason.
Although Zhang Songling is dead, there are some criminal evidences, including almost killing Luzhu and his wife, etc. However, these criminal evidences cannot constitute the standard for confiscating the house and punishing the nine tribes. However, if Qianqiying is accused of being indifferent to the King of Wu,
Even if he doesn't say it so clearly, the courtiers will express their understanding. Everyone knows that although King Wu is not rebelling now, he has this intention.
In addition, being framed by Tao Ruolin, the court officials now really thought that Zhang Songling had secretly taken refuge with King Wu.
This decree was issued directly by the emperor without going through the Ministry of Finance, and the imperial court had just started.
This means that the emperor is determined to let Qianqiying do this. Even if other ministers in the court do not agree to let Qianqiying raid the house, the emperor will insist on his own way.
In addition, the imperial edict also expresses very implicitly that even if Zhang Mansion does not meet the criteria for confiscating a house, he must still find a way to do so.
Chu Qing was happy to hear about this. Zhang Songling was dead, but Zhang Songling's relatives were not good birds. There was no need to interrogate them, but they could all be pulled out and shot one by one for an hour. No one would be wronged.
"Imperial decree, you have all heard it. Zhang Songling, the former right minister of the Ministry of Rites, is suspected of colluding with the King of Wu and is shameless. Starting today, our work direction will be changed to confiscation of homes!"
Chu Qing waved his hand: "Brothers, do you understand?"
More than 20 Tanma looked solemn, shook their heads and shouted: "No."
Jiang Yuesheng was speechless: "Sir, Zhang Songling is just suspected of being flirting with the King of Wu. Dali Temple has not yet convicted him, so how can he confiscate his house?"
"If you haven't been convicted, you can find a way to convict them."
"Isn't that a frame-up?"
"What the hell, it can't work."
Jiang Yuesheng was happy: "Okay, I just want to confirm it."
"Aren't there two more merchants? Capture them directly and throw them into the dungeon. There is another one who ran away earlier. Send someone to catch him and throw them both into the dungeon. The others, follow me to the Zhang Mansion.
After Chu Qing finished speaking, these detectives who were still in strict military discipline immediately went back to the house to look for sacks. A group of people shouted and shouted, just like a gang of evil forces.
The troops were divided into two groups. Chu Qing led more than twenty detective horses to Zhang Mansion, while Jiang Yuesheng led a few people to capture the remaining two merchants.
