Situ Xinghen seized more than 50 million taels of silver from Wan Mansion, and then found nearly 10 million taels of silver from the housekeeper's home in Yanqing City.
"Ah? Where did you get so much silver?"
This is indeed good news.
"Father, this is not all the amount. If you let Erchen and Haoran do it, tens of millions of taels of silver may be added to the national treasury."
"Really?"
The emperor became more and more confused.
"Of course it's true. How could I lie to you?"
"Then tell me, how did you get these coins?"
The emperor knew his son very well, and he knew that he could not tell lies.
"This involves the bad news that the child is going to tell you."
"Tell me, what's going on?"
"Father, I have sixty million taels of silver, and the child has been handed over to the navy to be transported to the capital by water. In this way, nothing will be lost.
And these silver coins were obtained by the corrupt magistrate of Yanqing City, so you don't have to worry about their origins."
"Bang--"
The emperor became angry and slammed his palms on the desk:
"A small prefect should be so bold and greedy for so much money. He deserves to be damned."
"Father, calm down. He really deserves to die. When he returned to Beijing, my son had already convicted all the people involved in the case. He killed those who deserved to be killed and exiled those who deserved to be exiled. There was no mercy at all."
"Hen'er, you did the right thing this time."
Finally, a look of approval appeared on the emperor's face.
"Father, Haoran is the first to solve this case."
"Your Majesty, I am only assisting the prince. If this case can be solved, the prince is the first to do it."
"Haha, Ran'er, Hen'er, you two don't say anything anymore. I know in my heart that I will reward you for solving such a big corruption case."
"Father, please leave your reward to Haoran! I just hope you won't randomly assign marriages to me."
