Daming reckless man

Chapter 194 Four million taels?

Chapter 194

Xu Jie looked at Zhang Hao, and hoped that Zhang Hao would stop talking about fines and just hand over the case to them.

"If you don't talk about it, don't think I don't know. If I don't talk about it, you will confiscate a 210 million taels at that time. After accompanying the emperor's 200 million taels, you will have 10 taels left. I know your tricks. Anyway, This matter, you should come to investigate and hand over the 400 million taels, or I should investigate, it has nothing to do with you, you can think about it yourself!" Zhang Hao stared at Xu Jie and said.

This matter cannot give Xu Jie face, and if Xu Jie has face, the money will go into the pockets of those corrupt officials. Maybe Xu Jie will have to divide it up. This is their way of doing things.

"Zhang Hao, can we talk in the next room?" Xu Jie felt that he had to convince Zhang Hao, otherwise, the trouble would be even greater, and he couldn't promise him such a large amount of compensation.

"No, they are here, either you take them away now, or I take them away now, it's that simple!" Zhang Hao shook his head and said.

"You, this, this child, me!" Xu Jie didn't know what to do, Zhang Hao pushed him so hard, but he didn't move.

"Marquis Lu An, they corrupted 120 million yuan, so let's calculate it as 130 million yuan. We can just give you 260 million yuan. After all, there is still some money for disaster relief!" Sun Yingkui looked at Zhang Hao and persuaded him.

"Come on, how did you agree to me at the beginning? I just came to the first state capital for inspection, and there was such a problem. Are you sorry for me? Come on, come and see, you actually purchase locally. You say purchase locally. Well, well, enter the government's warehouse during the day, and send it back to the merchant's warehouse at night, it's really doable!

Do you dare to say that the officials of the Ministry of Household Supervision don’t know about this matter, what do they do for food? Dare you say that they have no collusion with the prefect. Are those doctors in the Ministry of Households your subordinates?This routine is so familiar, is this the first time to do such a thing? " Zhang Hao stood there, staring at Sun Yingkui and said.

Sun Yingkui was so bullied that he didn't dare to speak.

"Zhang Hao, for this matter, we accept a penalty of 260 million taels, is it feasible?" Xu Jie looked at Zhang Hao and said, the money must be given to the emperor, if not to the emperor, Zhang Hao will not be able to pass the test, but, give 400 million Two, he thought, was too much.

"Okay, okay, then you give me a guarantee that 600 million taels of corruption funds will be found this time, dare you?" Zhang Hao stood there, looked at Xu Jie and said.

"How could there be so many?" Xu Jie immediately asked.

Zhang Hao heard it, glanced at Xu Jie, then squatted down, looked at Chen Hepan who was kneeling there and asked, "How much money does your family have?"

"My family has no money, really no money!" Chen Hepan was already shaking there.

"No money? Jin Yiwei went to your house to see it yesterday. As far as the layout of your house is concerned, the furniture is estimated to be worth tens of thousands of taels. They are all made of mahogany. I haven't seen your study, and I haven't seen yours. Jade, your family's assets, I guess, will never be less than 20 taels.

I remember your resume. You have been the magistrate of Guangping Prefecture for five years. During this period, the court has provided disaster relief here twice. It is estimated that half of it can be kept. The other time was the flood two years ago, and the allocation was more, 30 taels. You said, can you keep 38 taels?Your family has no money, come and search for all the valuable things in their house! " Zhang Hao stood up and shouted at Shen Lian.

"Yes, my lord!" Shen Lian led the people out, and Zhang Hao returned to his seat and sat down again.

"Zhang Hao, it's impossible for those state capitals to be corrupt, right?" Xu Jie sat down, looked at Zhang Hao and asked.

"Are you sure it's impossible? It's just a question of how much money. As far as they are here, there is one magistrate, one Fucheng, one Zhizhong, and three general judges. If the money found from their homes is less than 80 taels, we will Zhang Hao doesn't need this Lord Hou, if you don't believe me, let's make a bet. In addition to Shuntian Mansion, there are 9 state capitals in the capital, and you can't get 600 million taels?" Zhang Hao sat there, staring at Xu Jie and said.

When Xu Jie heard this, he made careful calculations and remained silent.

"My lord, please forgive me. I don't dare anymore. I am willing to give up all my family's money. I beg you to spare me!" Chen Hepan knelt on the ground and cried.

He knew that now that Zhang Hao came to investigate, his life might not be saved, but everyone has hope of survival.

"Shut up, old man, what are you talking about?" Sun Yingkui shouted angrily at him.

It's annoying, the Ministry of Households has lost a bit of face now, what face do I have to go to the emperor to ask for money in the future.

Will the Ministry of Households still be able to handle disaster relief in the future?Can the emperor still trust them?
"Zhang Hao, the meaning of our three cabinet ministers is that we are here to investigate the case. Don't worry, we will give you a satisfactory explanation!" Xu Jie sat there, looked at Zhang Hao and said, what should be persuaded is still to be persuaded.

"Why do I need your explanation? I don't know how to check it myself. It's your civil servants who do things. It's disgusting! The money for disaster relief is corrupt. You can do it. The lawlessness has reached this point. You just help the emperor manage it like this." Minister, manage the world? I want your explanation? I want to investigate myself!" Zhang Hao said to Xu Jie while sitting there.

"My lord!" At this moment, Sun Yingkui pulled Xu Jie's clothes.

Xu Jie turned to look at Sun Yingkui.

"Promise him!" Sun Yingkui looked at Xu Jie and said.

"This!" Xu Jie hesitated for a moment, and looked at Sun Yingkui in disbelief.

"Promise him!" Sun Yingkui still whispered.

Xu Jie sat there hesitating, and it was nothing to hand over 260 million taels to the emperor, but if 600 million taels were to be found out, it could basically be said that none of the nine prefects on the capital's side could be kept, and even some counties had to be found out. Ling's head, and those doctors in the Ministry of household affairs also have to investigate.

Of course Xu Jie knew what was going on with his case investigation. If he wanted to hand over 600 million taels, those investigators who did not hand over 300 million taels would be called failures.

"Okay, I promise you, the cabinet will handle this matter!" Xu Jie looked at Zhang Hao and said.

Zhang Hao heard it, nodded, stood up, thought of something, and said: "You are my future father-in-law, let me remind you, not all money can be taken, nor can anyone be guaranteed, you Think it over for yourself, don't make yourself angry, my father may not be able to protect you by then!"

"You!" Xu Jie was so angry when he heard Zhang Hao's words, that a junior actually taught him a lesson.

"Okay, I'll wait for news from your cabinet, and when Shen Lian comes back, I'll go back!" Zhang Hao sat down beside him.

The meaning is obvious, I won't take the main seat above, and whoever you like will sit, anyway, I don't care.

Soon, Shen Lian came back with a bag of silver notes, a lot of gold jewelry, gold bars, silver ingots and so on.

"My lord, everything is here. From Chen Hepan's house, I found 22 taels of silver notes, 12 catties of gold, and an estimated 8000 taels of silver in cash. In addition, these jewelry are estimated to be worth about 2 taels, and there are a lot of them." Land deeds and house deeds, the land deeds cover more than 800 mu, there are quite a few house deeds, and there are still some in Chang'an, and they are estimated to be worth a lot!" Shen Lian threw the things on the ground and said to Zhang Hao.

"I'll do the math!" Zhang Hao heard it, and calculated it carefully.

Just here, the value will not be less than 50 taels, just a magistrate, and there are Zhizhong, Fucheng, Tongju, who has no money at home?
"Mr. Xu Ge, have you figured it out?" Zhang Hao asked after looking at Xu Jie after he had finished his calculations.

"Hey, let's check it out, don't worry!" Xu Jie sighed, what more?It is estimated that he will know that the money will not be small.

"Okay, let's go!" Zhang Hao said, waved his hand, and left, leaving them here, Zhang Hao walked out of the Yamen gate, got on his horse and left immediately.

"My lord, shall we go back now? Don't check?" Shen Lian stared at Zhang Hao and asked.

"Fuck it, it's none of my business. I just ask them for money. I can't investigate all the corrupt officials in the world. Then why do we need them? Let's go back on horseback and see if we can do it before the city gate is closed." back."

"That's definitely not going back, not so soon!" Shen Lian said.

"Ride the horse quickly. If we can't go back, we will go to the barracks. My father is probably in the Tucheng outside the city!" Zhang Hao said.

Some of the troops defending the capital are in the inner city, and some are in the Tucheng outside the capital, where the army mainly trains and rests. Once the enemy invades, all the troops in Tucheng will enter the camp area inside the capital. .

Zhang Hao and the others rode quickly to the capital.

When we arrived in the capital, it was already dark, and the city gate must be closed, so Zhang Hao could only go to Tucheng.

"Who, the important place of the military camp! Don't get close!" As soon as Zhang Hao rode his horse to the gate of Tucheng, the soldiers at the gate drew their bows and arrows, pointing in the direction of Zhang Hao, and at the same time, a soldier pointed a long gun at this side.

"I, Marquis Lu An, Zhang Hao, General of the Imperial Guard!" Zhang Hao rode on the horse, reined in the horse, and said to the soldiers below.

"Major General?" The guard at the door immediately knew who it was when he heard it. Then he lit a torch and watched carefully.

"I've seen the major general, open the barracks, hurry up!" The general looked at Zhang Hao and immediately ordered the soldiers to open the barracks.

"You know me?" Zhang Hao rode to the general manager.

"Major General, I followed you out of the city to fight twice, and was promoted from a small banner to general!" the general said happily.

"Well done, thank you!" Zhang Hao nodded.

Being able to be promoted from Xiaoqi to Commander-in-Chief is a lot of credit. Xiaoqi is equivalent to a squad leader, and General Manager is equivalent to a company commander. Being promoted through two battles shows that he has made great contributions on the battlefield.
