"Reporting to Fu Zun, I found these silver coins in the dark room of Bo Sheng Ji's shop!"

Chen Sheng, the head of the yamen servant's squad, lifted a cloth bag to the top of his head respectfully, and replied in a deep voice.

Prefect Yao winked at the staff next to him, and he immediately walked over to fetch the cloth bag with understanding.

Zhifu Yao slowly unwrapped the cloth bag and took a closer look, but he was furious.

Although Emperor Hongzhi was in power at this time, the legal tender was still Xuande Tongbao.As for Emperor Hongzhi's own Hongzhi Tongbao, it took Hongzhi 16 years to start casting.But these are things for later, so I won’t show them for the time being.

Yao Zhifu saw that these Xuande Tongbao were poor in style, and even the characters on them were not neat. How could the official money minted by the court be so inferior? This is obviously inferior money minted privately.

"Then open your dog's eyes and see what these are!"

In a fit of rage, Zhifu Yao threw the cloth bag down, scattered the copper coins all over the floor, and made a lot of noise.

It's no wonder that Zhifu Yao was furious and rude, although he knew that there were several gambling houses in Shaoxing Prefecture, but he never took a penny from these gambling houses.As a result, all the money was distributed by his subordinate officials, but he didn't even know that the gambling house minted money privately, so he took the blame for nothing.
If it wasn't for Xie Shen, a young man who went to the yamen to sue today, he doesn't know how long he would be deceived by the people below.

These officials are so courageous!
When Li Dan saw the magistrate Yao's fury, he trembled with fright.

"My lord, my lord, someone must be framing this little old man."

"My lord, I found not only this bag of silver coins in the darkroom, but the whole darkroom was filled with these silver coins. The amount is incalculable!"

The foreman Chen Sheng's make-up knife made Li Dan desperate. He couldn't understand why people from the government office suddenly came to the gambling shop to check, and even turned over the privately minted money!

Li Dan, who was originally in high spirits, now collapsed on the ground, like dead fish and rotten meat.

Making money privately is a major crime of beheading. They have always done it very carefully and never leaked the news. How could there be so many government servants running to the gambling house all of a sudden?

Li Dan couldn't figure out what was going on.

Seeing that Li Dan was pale and speechless, Zhifu Yao thought that Li Dan had acquiesced.

"Come here, let me put Li Dan in prison and wait for him!"

Yao Zhifu dropped a fire stick, and immediately two officials stepped forward and dragged Li Dan out.

Yao Zhifu snorted coldly and said: "Chen Sheng, go and take someone to seal up the Boshengji gambling house, and all the people inside will be taken back to the government and thrown into prison!"

"Little obedience!"

Chen Sheng responded, and walked away with his fists folded.

Xie Shen was overjoyed, it seemed that the Bo Sheng Ji Gambling Shop had come to an end.

The reason why he was sure that Boshengji Gambling Workshop minted money privately was because of some articles that later generations read.There were many ways for gambling shops in the Ming Dynasty to make huge profits, one of which was to mint copper coins privately.This method of profit-making is hidden and profitable, so many gambling houses take risks and make money privately.Over time, this has formed an unspoken rule that almost all gambling houses will mint copper coins privately for profit.

However, Xie Shen was still not sure that Bo Sheng Ji Gambling House would mint money privately, so he chose to use the private money exchanged from the bank to test the scarred face.And that scarred face did not show any dissatisfaction, and accepted the private money without hesitation, indicating that they would definitely spend the private money.

Most of the gambling money in gambling houses is a mixture of private money and official money, so if they want to spend their private money, they only need to mix their private money with the gambling money.

It is impossible for the gambling house to know Xie Shen's thoughts, and the young man took advantage of their psychology to come to the government office to report to the government officials at the first time, and caught them by surprise.

As for those villainous thugs raised by gambling houses, Xie Shen is not worried at all.Now that the deal is done, the yamen servants found a large amount of privately minted copper coins in the gambling shop, even if the arrested scarface bites the prefect Yao, he would not believe it.

The most important thing is that if this matter is done well, it will help to improve political performance. The prefect Yao is obsessed with the evaluation and promotion of the Ministry of Officials, and his own attitude determines that this matter will not be good.

Taking a step back, which magistrate can swallow this bad breath after being deceived for a long time.If he can bear it, then he, the prefect of Shaoxing, will have no official authority in the future.

"Prefect Yao's thunderous decision to eliminate harm for the people really admires the students!"

Seeing that the matter was almost done, Xie Shen sent a flattery at the right time, Yao Zhifu stroked his short beard, nodded very usefully and said: "It is also the wish of this government to punish Xiao Xiao and return the people of Shaoxing to a bright future. .”

Attorney Xiao had been preparing for a long time and was planning to fight fiercely. Who would have thought that the case would be almost closed before he even put his efforts into action.

The huge sense of loss makes Mr. Xiao very frustrated, and the shame of being inferior to others makes people even more desperate.He is a professional Shaoxing lawyer, and he is not as good as a young man.

"The mansion is wise and honest, which is really a blessing for the people of Shaoxing."

Lawyer Xiao gritted his teeth and still choked out a flattering word.He hardly spoke the whole time, if he didn't show his presence at this time, how would he be able to mess around in Shaoxing City in the future?
"Since the case is closed, the student will leave first."

Xie Shen didn't want to spend too much energy on this matter, so he saluted the prefect Yao respectfully and said in a deep voice.

"Wait a minute, the others will leave, and Xie Xiansheng will come to the back office with my residence!"

Prefect Yao didn't say any more, got up and walked towards the back hall.

Xie Shen was taken aback for a moment, what does the prefect Yao want him to do?Did Fu Zun see any flaws?
Although he had no idea, he had to grit his teeth and follow.

If he offends the prefect Yao on this occasion, his examination results will definitely be affected.

Soldiers come to block the water and cover it with earth, is it possible that he is afraid that the prefect of Yao will not succeed?
After following Zhifu Yao through many courtyards, Xie Shen came to the Hou Ya.

After passing through the Moon Gate and sitting down on the stone bench in the small garden, Zhifu Yao snorted coldly and said, "Tell me, how did you know that Boshengji Gambling Workshop privately minted copper coins?"

Xie Shen's heart sank, it seems that the prefect Yao is not stupid.Just now he set up a trick to lure prefect Yao into the game, and prefect Yao has been following his train of thought, but when prefect Yao calmed down and thought about it, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

It would be impossible to confuse what Lawyer Xiao wrote again. Too many details were hidden in the statement. It only explained that the gambling house minted money privately but did not explain how Xie Shen discovered it.Prefect Yao is not stupid, how could he allow the young man to prevaricate so easily.Xie Shen simply cupped his hands and said: "My lord, please make amends. The student has deceived my lord about this matter."

Yao Zhifu waved his hand and said: "Tell me, if you tell the truth, this government may spare you the crime of deception."
