Facing the gold and silver in front of him, Zheng Shiyuan completely broke his defense. He knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly, and his emotions were broken... In the face of this situation, Jiang Nan did not dare to show any mercy. He took out all the things inside, and when he regained his composure, he would inevitably break the jar, or find a way to protect the people behind him.

As a result, the case will undoubtedly be difficult to solve.

"Nonsense! Do you know that Ruan Shangshu is an old man from Chuzhou, he has followed the upper ranks before crossing the river, is in a high position, and is in charge of financial power. How can you be someone who can arbitrarily go about it? So much gold and silver, even if you destroy your nine clans, it will not be enough to make up for your sins!"

Zheng Shiyuan was shocked, and wanted to destroy the nine clans?

"I'm wronged! Really really wronged! I didn't spend a tael of silver... This, this is all to block the hole in the household!"

"Nonsense! How come there are holes in the household?"

"Yes! It is! When Li Menggeng was the minister of households, there was a hole!"

Jiang Nan immediately said: "The hundreds of thousands of stolen money were recovered, and a batch of food was allocated, and the hole in the household has long been added."

Zheng Shiyuan sneered contemptuously, his face full of disdain, "Fill in? Why do you fill in? Li Menggeng's case has not been investigated to the end. Later, the superior led troops to deal with Chen Youliang. Ruan Hongdao was also in charge of cooperating with military supplies. This hole was not filled, but even bigger. Yes. He planned to wipe out the accounts in the name of war consumption... But who knew that the tax department would be established later, and the tax deficit of the household department would be thoroughly investigated. Ruan Hongdao was really unable to fill it up, so he forced us to find a way He still, still..."

When he got here, Zheng Shiyuan stopped and didn't say any more, obviously he was scared, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Jiang Nan gave Guo Ying a wink, and Guo Ying immediately asked people to smash the wall more open, and the gold and silver inside kept pouring out.

Every piece of ingot hit Zheng Shiyuan's fragile heartstrings.

Done!

Hopeless!

Completely dead now.

"Do you still want to be stubborn? These gold and silver alone are enough for your whole family to suffer, leaving a stigma for thousands of years. Who can save you by taking the blame for others?"

Facing Jiang Nan's offensive, Zheng Shiyuan couldn't take it anymore, so he could only say: "Ruan Hongdao hinted that we should make use of the ascendant to fill the gap." What, I don't know how much I put away. I just took this opportunity to close all the losses, so I can explain it!"

Jiang Nan wanted to laugh when he heard this.

This sounded reasonable at first, but it was actually deceiving laymen. Zhu Yuanzhang was very careful about spending, and Zhang Ximeng was even more careful. Not willing to waste at all.

Everyone is staring at it. If you want to make money at the enthronement ceremony, it is really difficult to fill the gap.

But the bow did not turn back, and Zheng Shiyuan couldn't bear the pressure of Ruan Hongdao, so he came up with a false idea of ​​opening an official document. In normal times, it is definitely impossible to do this, but the enthronement ceremony is very anxious and cannot be delayed at all.

Under Zheng Shiyuan's instruction, someone took out five or six blanks for the official documents in charge of purchasing.

The Ministry of Household declared that it was buying as much as possible. After all, the consumption was huge, and the more things, the better.

And when I got to the local area, I told the local officials that the road was very expensive, so I referred to the previous method and issued a blank official document.

When things got to this point, it was completely out of control.

The Ministry of Industry is blank, and the bottom is also blank, and there is pressure to fill the gap. Some people want to fill the hole, and some people want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a lot of money and fill their own pockets.

Zhu Yuanzhang has been too ruthless in his management these years, and the big guy has nothing left except to work honestly. It's better to take advantage of this God-given opportunity and make a good payment. I don't know if there is any chance in the future!

"You said everyone has a share. What's the matter with you having so much gold and silver here? Do they also have so much? Where's Ruan Shangshu?"

Jiang Nan stared at Zheng Shiyuan, "At this stage, if you are still lucky, I'm afraid it won't end well!"

Zheng Shiyuan gritted his teeth, and could only continue: "The official document that comes below is for my approval... I originally wanted to find Ruan Hongdao, but that old man, on the grounds of paying taxes, said there are still many things he needs to do. To do, especially to settle with the tax department, he, he let me be responsible for these things... I, I think this old bastard, he deliberately wanted to hurt me, he avoided it! "

Jiang Nan sneered, "I told you everything, Ruan Shangshu didn't actually participate, it was you who did it, and you were the main culprit when it was investigated!"

Zheng Shiyuan's face was embarrassed. He naturally knew that since this matter was pierced and his criminal evidence was found, there was absolutely no reason for it to be a fluke.

I'm not okay, don't think about any of you.

Zheng Shiyuan gritted his teeth and said: "The old **** thinks he is smart, but there is a sum of money that I can't move, and that is the money donated to the superiors from various places to prepare for the ceremony... Among them, Timur and others also donated about 30,000 yuan. Guan, as well as Fang Guozhen, not only donated a large sum, but also donated the money that Shandong Maogui used to buy ordnance baggage to his superiors. This part of the ordnance has gone to the Ministry of War's account... But Ruan Hongdao, the old king Eggs, I actually used tattered weapons to deal with the matter, and kept all the extra money!"

Jiang Nan was shocked, she couldn't help but be surprised.

This is a major event involving the life and death of the Northern Expedition Middle Route Army, and it also involves a major event that can successfully conquer Mao Gui and Guan Duo!

Dare to start on this?

In terms of not being a human being, Ruan Hongdao really does not disappoint!

"Zheng Shiyuan, do you have evidence for what you said?"

"Evidence? There is evidence in Taicang, the Ministry of Housing. Also, those tattered weapons and armors have already been on board. You can go check them out, and you'll know at a glance!" Gu Hao

"Of course we will investigate!" Jiang Nan sneered: "Zheng Shiyuan, I advise you to think for yourself and for your family. You can only hope for your full cooperation now, and it will not harm your family. You are lucky, and you are at your own risk!"

After Jiang Nan finished speaking, he hurriedly withdrew, and Guo Ying followed.

"What now? Those ships may leave at any time, and once they leave, it will be difficult to do."

Guo Ying said: "I will request an order now to detain the boat."

"Wait." Jiang Nan said, "There are people from Mao Gui and Guan Duo at the docks where these boats are docked, and they are always watching. We detain the boats casually. What if they cause misunderstandings? Do we want them to know about us? There is a huge greed here, dare to start with these weapons?"

Guo Ying was startled, it was really easy to say or not!

"Then, what should we do then?"

Jiang Nan pondered for a while, but came up with a solution.

"You sent someone over immediately and said that there was still a batch of winter clothing as a gift, and asked the boat to stop for a while, and then take advantage of the opportunity to transfer the cotton-padded clothes to replace the tattered ordnance, and then let Guan Duo's people check it, so as not to miss the news."

Guo Ying is absolutely smitten, who dares to underestimate this woman? Her heart is so delicate!

Guo Ying naturally acted according to plan, arresting people and arresting the boat, and was very busy.

They were not busy at last, and the situation was finally under control.

And this big case involving multiple yamen, from top to bottom, was all implicated, and it was presented in front of all civil and military officials.

The piles of gold and silver glittered with metallic luster.

It is ironic that there is so much money in a broken house.

Zhu Yuanzhang took heavy steps, walked to the front of a box, reached out and grabbed a piece of silver, heavy, pressing his hand, at least one hundred taels.

"It's just such a thing, it can't be eaten or worn, but it can move people's hearts!" Zhu Yuanzhang stood up abruptly and roared at the officials, "Look at what? , Just this ingot of silver is enough to peel two layers of Zheng Shiyuan's skin! Open your eyes and see, how much is this, and how many layers of skin does he have?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and roared sharply.

Facing the furious Lao Zhu, the ministers were horrified, even the left minister Li Shanchang lowered his head deeply and did not dare to face the emperor directly.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't mean to let go of his anger at all, but even more angry!

"We have just been enthroned a few days ago, and at the enthronement ceremony, there are so many people, thousands of miles away, from Lingnan, Hainan, Wuxi, and Gaoli... They came over and established us as the emperor, and let us rule the world. They think We are not the same as the emperor of Dadu! As a result, under our rule, such a big case happened!"

"How do you want us to face the people of the world? How do you want us to talk about China ZTE? You slapped so hard!" Zhu Yuanzhang roared like a wounded dragon, choosing someone to devour.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was so angry, had never met even the closest person.

Li Shanchang was sweating on his forehead, and hurriedly knelt down, and the other ministers followed, and he fell to his knees.

"I am guilty!"

"No need to beg!"

Lao Zhu said with a sneer: "If you all plead guilty, you are all innocent. We still understand this principle. Don't worry, as long as it is not involved, we will not kill innocent people indiscriminately!"

These words made everyone even more anxious. Those who are not involved are naturally fine, but if they are involved, don't even think about escaping!

Zhu Yuanzhang is finally about to start a killing spree!

This time, even Zhang Ximeng didn't want to stop him. Unlike the previous cases, Han Xiuniang's case involved the treatment of men and women, and the Wang family's case involved collusion between businessmen and scholars... There is no doubt that these cases have conflicting ideas, and some There are established bad habits in it.

Not only to undertake criminals, but also to change customs.

But the empty printing case, although it is also an old custom of the Yuan Dynasty, but to put it bluntly, it is a greed of ink and harm to the people, favoritism and fraud.

The case is clear, clear, and there is nothing to say.

At this time, if you want to wake up the world, you just need to kill enough people!

Zhu Yuanzhang said to Guo Ying: "Go, bring Ruan Hongdao!"

Guo Ying hurriedly agreed, and after a while, two soldiers from the Guard Division dragged Ruan Hongdao up. Behind him, there were the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, and the hundreds of officials involved, kneeling in blackness. !

"Ruan Hongdao, are you convicted?"

Ruan Hongdao was stunned, his voice sobbing, "Up, the sinner beg you, please spare the family of the minister!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sullenly glared at the courtier who had followed him for many years, and squeezed two words between his teeth: "No mercy!"
