Chapter 947 Confession
After Shi Tianmin saluted, he heard such a question without even raising his head. His knees softened, and he knelt down directly, sweating all over his body and face.

"Please forgive me!"

"Grandpa? Do you still have the face to call me Grandpa?! What you have done, which one is worthy of your background?! Collusion, stealing tax from the treasury, embarrassing people, making the people of the world ridicule, the face of the emperor's relatives I was thrown away by you! Tell me, how did you divide the bills? Who got the benefits? If you make it clear, I will spare you, and if you don’t know, you will also go to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice for a few days!"

"Your Majesty!" Shi Tianmin immediately changed his words, he knew that he would not be able to escape if he did not tell the truth now, "I am guilty, and I am willing to confess truthfully."

"Just get to the point! I don't have the patience to listen to your nonsense!"

"I'm only responsible for picking up the cargo ships arriving in Beijing, and arranging for the delivery trucks to be transferred to the secret warehouse in the city. I don't know where those goods will be sent."

"No concealment?"

"I dare not hide it. I really don't know. My task is only to transship the goods."

"You don't even touch the money you earn?"

"Earn money?"

"How dare you cheat in front of me?! Really want to go to prison?"

"Don't dare! Your Majesty, please forgive me! After reconciling the accounts, both the money and goods will be settled, and all the money will be sent to Prince Yu's Mansion, and uncle will divide the account. We will take as much as he gives us, and my grandmother will also have a share for her expenses in the palace. , We don't know how the money in uncle's hand will be used, we really don't know! Please investigate carefully, Your Majesty!"

"In the entire long chain of smuggling, all the people involved really have a clear division of labor. One person only manages a short section, and they don't know anything about the upline and downline. How can you be so obedient and not inquire at all?"

"It's been done like this for so many years, and everyone has long been used to it. No one asks for details that have nothing to do with them. The money is paid when the goods are delivered, and the checkout is straightforward. With this advantage, people will not meddle in their own business."

"Okay, I'll just ask you about the part you're in charge of." The saint patted the table, "Did you set up the big car dealership that helped you transfer from the pier to the secret warehouse in the city by yourself or where did you get it?"

"There is a branch of a big car dealer with long-term cooperation, and the goods arriving in Beijing can only be transshipped with that branch."

"Which car dealership? Report your name!"

"Yes, it's a large car dealership in the district."

"Ou's big car dealership?" The saint frowned, "Why does this sound familiar to me?"

"The Ou family's big car dealership was originally unknown, but it has gained some fame in the past few years, and the business has grown bigger and bigger. The granddaughter of their patriarch is Gu Hui who has been raised in the Duke Ye's mansion for several years."

"Oh? There are so many big car dealers in the capital, why did you only find this big car dealer?"

"After Gu Hui lived in Ye Guogong's mansion, he opened another branch of a large car dealership in Tianshuifang. Gu Yun also said that this big car dealership is reliable, with multiple business partners and multiple roads, so all the transfers The business is only given to this branch, and the other branches of the big car dealership in the district have never done our business."

"But in fact, the money earned by the semicolon has to be handed over to the head office, so the big car dealership, the Ou family, and even Gu Hui have all benefited from it?"

"No, no, they didn't! I beg your majesty to learn from you! The big car dealers earn normal shipping fees. We require them to use special vehicles to transport them, and they are not allowed to take other goods before unloading, so this fee is included in the shipping fee, but it is really Within the normal price range, they didn't charge more money, and we didn't pay more money on purpose, so that the big car dealers thought we were businessmen of luxury goods, and the extra money was just to ensure the safety of the goods. Every time, the goods are delivered to the designated place smoothly according to our requirements. There are accounts for all money matters! Please learn from Your Majesty!"

"The squires in Dacheng Mansion are only responsible for receiving and escorting them out of the country, so they can get money as soon as they touch their hands, but the big car dealership in the district only earns you a little shipping fee. Do you think I'm easy to cheat?!"

"I don't dare to deceive Your Majesty! The big car dealership of the Ou family in Tianshuifang really only earns a little shipping fee, and neither the Ou family nor Gu Hui benefited from it."

"Who has benefited? Tell me!"

"Yes, it's Gu Yun and Bai Kou."

"What's the matter with the two of them?!"

"After the cargo ship arrives in Beijing, someone needs to pick up the goods. The goods are all normal packages, and there are only marks on them that my own people can understand. Every time I get the news of receiving the goods, I give the note to Gu Yun, and Gu Yun gives it to Bai Kou. In the end, Bai Kou told the big car dealer to arrange a vehicle to pick up and deliver the goods. Since the two of them were working in the middle, I could give them some sweetness. Apart from that, there was really nothing else. The only smuggling I knew was These." Shi Tianmin bent down and kowtowed, he roughly knew where his uncle spent the money, but he couldn't say, he couldn't admit that they had a plan to kill the crown prince and let Yu Wang replace him.

Usurping the throne and seizing power, committing crimes against superiors, and fighting against the wall are all taboos in the imperial court. The Tian family is ruthless, and Shi Tianmin still doesn't want to die.

The saint pursed his lips, and didn't ask further whether Shi Tianmin really didn't know the details, he waved his hand to his side, "Find Gu Yun, no matter the time, come to the palace to see me."

Eunuch Xi owed his debts and hurried out to make arrangements. When he came back, the grandparents and grandchildren in the royal study still maintained the same appearance as before he went out.

"Send someone back with Shi Tianmin, find all the ledgers, and send them to the Ministry of Punishment."

"Yes."

"The Grand Princess Mansion is still temporarily closed, but tomorrow Shi Tianmin is allowed to go out to mourn his brother-in-law, and let people follow."

"Yes."

"My brother-in-law?!" Shi Tianmin raised his head hastily, his face paled in shock, being under house arrest for so long, he really doesn't know many things.

"Your brother-in-law died on the bed of a prostitute while visiting a brothel a few days ago. You go to see your sister for your parents."

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty Ron."

Shi Tianmin kowtowed, and went out with Eunuch Xi. There were already people outside waiting for him to go back to get the ledger. Sitting in the car home, Shi Tianmin couldn't help shaking his whole body. He didn't know how long the comprehensive cleaning caused by the disaster relief would last. At this point, when the court dug up more criminal evidence, it is worthwhile to only hope that my family, my uncle's family and my grandmother can survive, even if I sacrifice the wealth of generations.

The people who were looking for Gu Yun were divided into two groups, one went to Duke Ye's mansion and the other went to the factory.

Mrs. Gu learned that the palace was looking for Gu Yun to enter the palace to meet the saint, so she hurried to the main hall of the front yard to inquire in person, but the other party did not dare to hide anything from her, and told her that the reason for looking for Gu Yun was because the saint met Shi Tianmin first.

Reminiscent of the Zhao clan being escorted to Beijing and smuggled, Mrs. Gu didn't know how much her son was involved in this, but it was well known in the capital that he and Shi Tianmin had a good time and had economic ties, since the saint met Shi Tianmin , it is only natural to see Gu Yun again.

After rewarding the angel and seeing off the guests, Mrs. Gu then asked the housekeeper to go to the official office of the Ministry of Rites to inform the master, and she went back to the room to wait for further news.
