I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 398 Huo Xian is vicious, Huo Guang is dim, and the Huo family well is full of innocent souls! (Please subscribe)
"Humph, this is really a huge windfall!" Wei Xiang sneered, and then asked, "Then why did you give money to Le Cheng?"

"This, this..." Tian Yannian faltered and could not continue to explain clearly.

"Tian Yannian! What are you hiding? Tell me quickly!" Prime Minister Wei asked sharply.

"Shangguan, the guilty officer knows the link, let the guilty officer tell you!" Lecheng said quickly, finally seizing the opportunity.

Wei Xiangxiang nodded with a smile, signaling success and continued. At the same time, he glanced at Tian Yannian meaningfully, much to the latter's annoyance.

"It's not that Tian Yannian wants to give money to the guilty officer, it's... it's Huo Xian, the wife of the general, who wants to give money to the guilty officer!" Le Cheng shouted this sentence so excitedly that his throat almost tore.

Prime Minister Wei's eyes lit up, and he felt suddenly enlightened. He was finally related to the Huo family. This was the key to the case.

"It was obviously the windfall that Dongmen Ba and Tian Yannian made privately, so why did it become money given to you by Huo Xian?" Wei Xiang leaned forward and asked hurriedly.

"Because Huo Xian wants to win over me to serve the Huo family, so naturally he has to give me some benefits!" Success danced and kept making movements with his hands to grab things and put them into his mouth.

"Do you have any real evidence? If you say you have no evidence, I can betray you and falsely accuse Huo Xian and the general!" Wei Xiang asked.

Le Cheng was stunned. His mouth was half-opened and his eyes rolled around a few times, as if he was wondering if he had any real evidence.

But after opening and closing his mouth a few times, it finally deflated like a deflated pig's urine bubble, and he said unwillingly: "The sinner, the sinner has no real evidence in his hands..."

As soon as the successful words fell, Tian Yannian immediately raised his hands high above his head - just like a newly enlightened child answering the teacher's questions enthusiastically.

good very good.What is needed is this scramble.

"Tian Yannian, go on, don't hide it!"

"Shangguan, the guilty officer knows that there is an account book. Who will the 4000 million money be distributed to each year and how much will be distributed to each person? Everything is written clearly and there are no mistakes or omissions."

"Oh? Do you have this account book?"

"Huo Xian is suspicious by nature, so naturally he will not put the account books in the hands of the criminal..."

"But the criminal suspects that this thing must be hidden in the back house of the general's mansion. It may not be easy to get it..." Tian Yannian didn't know that Huo's house had been raided at this time.

"What's so difficult? I'm telling you that Ting Wei Huang Ba is searching the back house of the General's Mansion right now. As long as we have this black account, we will definitely get it."

Tian Yannian and Lecheng were immediately shocked after hearing this.

Although the wind and snow were raging outside the hall and the cold wind kept blowing into the main hall, thin beads of sweat covered their foreheads.

The Huo family was raided!

This means that the general they rely on is really impossible to make a comeback!
I am blind, why didn't I tell the emperor about Huo Guang and Huo Xian's corruption a few months earlier?

Maybe you don't have to endure the jail term, maybe you don't have to be frightened in public, maybe you can even be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister.

Especially Tian Yannian, he was even more upset when he thought of the promise the emperor made to him that day.

If only I had repented a few days earlier!
The two soon figured out that today was the last chance to survive.

You must tell everything you know. Only by crushing the Huo family to death can they have a chance of escaping.

……

Prime Minister Wei had no time to guess what the two were thinking, so he immediately sent someone to the General's Mansion to find Huang Ba, the Tingwei, and asked him to find the penny in the black account and send it over first, so that the corruption case could progress.

During the period of waiting for the black account, Prime Minister Wei was not idle. He even threatened and deceived Lecheng and Tian Yannian, telling them many evil things that Huo Xian had done behind his back.

Indiscriminately killing slaves and tenants, occupying fields and gardens, falsely accusing people of innocence and imprisoning them, allowing domestic slaves to steal huge trees in Maoling, entering the palace without permission to peek into the palace... These two former minions and confidants of Huo Guang couldn't stop talking about it. , when it comes to excitement, he always raises his voice, as if to overwhelm the opponent's momentum.

Because they listed so many of Huo Xian's crimes, even the long-time scribe who wrote the love letter became nervous, fearing that there would be errors or omissions in what he recorded.

The other officials in the hall were also dumbfounded.

The news spread from ten to ten, and the commotion in the hall also attracted many officials from Zhijinwu Temple. More and more people gathered in front of the hall to watch the excitement.

Just now, when "4000 million" came from Tian Yannian's mouth, everyone was amazed and secretly cursed the Huo family for being greedy.

Now that I heard about the many evil things Huo Xian had done, I was even more indignant, and the voices of talking and cursing became louder and louder.

How could they have imagined that the seemingly sanctimonious Huo family had done so many dirty things behind their backs.

"Shangguan, we need to check the wells in all the Huo family's houses. I'm afraid there are corpses of wronged souls in them!" Tian Yannian shouted this last sentence at the top of his lungs.

The onlookers started making a fuss with a "buzz" sound, and the more they scolded the Huo family, the more unpleasant they were.

"Huo Guang has merit, but he is not a good wife, so Huo Xian is simply a poisonous woman!"

"People are divided into groups, and birds of a feather flock together. I'm afraid this Huo Guang is not a good person after all!"

"Huo Guang may not have committed a serious crime, but if his housekeeper is not strict, he must be punished with the same crime!"

"Don't you just fall in love with Huo Xian's skin? He indulges in drunkenness and lust all day long. I have long heard that Huo Xian has the ability to seduce people!"

"Exactly, if you don't have any skills between the boudoir curtains, how can you blow the pillow wind so well?"

"I heard that Mr. Huo doesn't like to read Confucian scriptures, so he certainly doesn't understand etiquette, justice and integrity. It's only natural that he would do such evil things!"

"You're right. People who are powerful have a desire for power, and naturally they also have a desire for money, wine and sex!"

"If I become a general, I will definitely be less greedy and just use it as much as I can!"

"Who says it's not the case? You're too greedy!"

"The county magistrate must watch the fire, otherwise Huo Guang doesn't know how long he will go on the rampage!"

"We must kill that Huo Xian!"

"It would be easier to kill her. She has to be stripped naked and tortured in public!"

There was a burst of laughter, followed closely by some obscene and obscene curses.

……

Prime Minister Wei did not stop these irrelevant officials from continuing to talk nonsense, but instead allowed them to express their opinions.

Corruption cases, unlike treason cases and regicide cases, do not involve too many secrets and can be revealed at will.

It is not a bad thing, but a good thing, for these scandalous things about the Huo family to spread among the people.

If we had known that the officials were so indignant, we should have allowed more people to come and watch, which would also have had an educational effect.

Yes, next time there is such a big case, I must give it a try!
