Chapter 399 Corruption Case

Chen Jindou knew that Zhang Shun looked young, but in fact he was not easy to fool. He quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Old Chen, I was obsessed with things and coveted wealth. Please punish me, my lord!"

Zhang Shun didn't comment, just smiled and said: "Don't be anxious, stand aside first and then talk."

Chen Jindou was confused when he heard this. Now that he was facing a crime, he had no choice but to stand up anxiously and act as ordered.

The two were silent for a moment, only to hear a creak, and the door to the side room opened again. Chen Jindou looked up and saw that the young man there was Chen Jingzhi, who was collaborating with him in corruption.

Chen Jingzhi looked up and saw Zhang Shun and Chen Jindou standing on Zhang Shun's side, and he felt something was wrong. Chen Jingzhi was quite shrewd. Seeing Chen Jindou standing there with a gloomy look on his face, he guessed that today was definitely not a good thing.

Fortunately, he was not so stupid that he didn't bring it upon himself. He just suppressed his uneasiness and bowed to Zhang Shun and said: "Greetings to your lord, congratulations to your lord, congratulations to your lord! I heard that your lord is blessed with a son and a successor. What a joy and congratulation!" If the Lord needs help for something, he can just send someone to say hello, why do you need to give instructions personally?"

"Okay, okay! Stop talking nonsense. I can't tell you are young, but you are quite calm. Tell me, how did you and Lao Chen steal a lot of money, and how did you divide the spoils?"

Chen Jingzhi felt like he was struck by lightning. He didn't know how much Zhang Shun knew, so he had to take a cautious glance at Chen Jindou. Chen Jin looked at his nose and heart with his eyes crossed, but ignored him.

After all, Chen Jingzhi was young and didn't have that much in mind, so he had to answer honestly: "The two of us were managing the luggage at that time. To be honest, we had never seen so much money and materials in our lives, and we were obsessed with it for a while."

"Old Chen told me that my lord has so many possessions anyway, and he can't use up all the money he has. It would be better for us to spend the money on my lord's behalf, and save the burden of the journey."

Before Chen Jing finished speaking, Chen Jindou angrily yelled, "You're talking nonsense, and you're actually confusing right and wrong. It's obviously you who said this!"

When Chen Jingzhi heard this, he quickly defended: "I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense! It's obvious."

Zhang Shun saw an argument between the old and the young and was about to start a fight in front of him. He frowned and shouted in a low voice: "What are you two doing? Do you want to conspire in front of me?"

When Chen Jindou and Chen Jingzhi heard this, they were suddenly startled and broke into a cold sweat. They knew that they had done it flawlessly on their own, but they didn't expect that Zhang Shun's words revealed their thoughts.

The two of them chatted away, straightened their clothes, and said harshly: "How dare you, how dare you! I just saw this guy talking nonsense and confusing right and wrong, and I couldn't be more angry!"

Zhang Shun raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "I am celebrating a double happiness today and am in a good mood, so I specially called you two to inquire about this matter. If you continue to play tricks, I will hand over the evidence to Zhang Shenyan and put you both on trial. Well, I want to see if you two are unjust or not!"

The two men were really shocked when they heard this, and they quickly kowtowed and knelt down to beg for mercy. They were also Conglong veterans, and they were secretly working together to try to deal with Zhao Yutou, the leader of the "Zhao Party" who was in the limelight.

But they never expected that the plan would not keep up with the changes until Zhang Shun convinced Zhang Shenyan. Zhang Shenyan's knowledge and ability were outstanding, but he suppressed these "old guys" until they couldn't breathe.

This man was also the right servant of the Ministry of Justice. If the two of them fell into his hands, what would happen?

Chen Jindou heard this and quickly confessed: "My lord, I have surrendered. The mastermind of this matter is indeed Chen Jingzhi. The two of us made five by one, and each of us embezzled a total of one hundred and thirty-two taels and two cents of silver. Please, my lord, Mingjian!"

When Chen Jingzhi heard that his relationship had reached this point and he still felt guilty, he quickly confessed: "The one hundred and thirty-two taels and two cents of silver per person is really good, but the mastermind is really not me. As the saying goes: old treacherous and cunning. , How can there be such a thing as a cunning person in the world?"

Chen Jindou was immediately furious and cursed: "I hunt geese all day long, and I was blinded by the geese pecking me. I, old Chen, have lived a long life, but I was deceived by a junior!"

Seeing that the two of them were acting for him again, Zhang Shun couldn't help snorting coldly: "You two are right. I said one hundred and thirty-two taels and two cents of silver. You two said that each of you was greedy for this." One hundred and thirty-two taels and two cents of silver, is it really a disadvantage to treat me as a knife?"

"I taught you Chen Jingzhi how to do accounting. Do you still want to fool me? The first time, the rebels extorted 470 taels of silver from Runcheng. When you two bought iron materials from Liushan Village, you spent a total of I stole twenty taels for myself. The second time, I took away three taels and five taels when I was attending the funeral for Taoist Ma. The third time, when I was casting cannons near Tieye Town, I took another seven taels for the iron materials. The fourth time, I took away 7 taels for the iron materials. This time, the second master gave me a lot of silk, and you two stole seventeen pieces of it. And so on, do you still want me to elaborate on it one by one? "

Chen Jindou and Chen Jingzhi were dumbfounded. They were immediately confused and fought for the ground with their heads. The two of them no longer dared to cheat, so they had to tell the truth: "There are so many little things in it that I really can't remember how many there are. Please punish me together. We have no complaints. I just ask you to stay." I am waiting for my life so that I can atone for my sins and continue to serve the lord!"

Seeing that they were really convinced, Zhang Shun secretly smiled and let out a bad breath in his heart. When the two of them were almost done knocking and their heads were bruised, Zhang Shun stopped them and said, "You two have embezzled a total of four hundred and eighty-three two-thirds and eighty cents of silver. Do you remember it clearly now?"

"I know that you deceive me when I am young, deceive my superiors and subordinates, and practice favoritism and malpractice. You are also old people who follow me, and I have always trusted you. If you are really short of money, just tell me directly. I will give you five or seven hundred taels of silver. So what, why do you need to be so sneaky and obscene?"

"In order to save your face, I deliberately chose a festive day to talk about this matter with you secretly, but you two still didn't tell the truth! If I really want to punish you, I only need to single out this matter and let Zhang Shenyan Wouldn't it be nice to conduct a thorough investigation and then kill the chicken to scare the monkey?"

When the two heard this, their faces turned red with embarrassment, and they only said, "Lord, you are benevolent and righteous."

Seeing that the beating was almost finished, Zhang Shun continued: "I won't embarrass you. You are all old men who follow me. These silvers are a reward for you. It's just this one time, and it won't be the same next time! If I notice that you two have sex again, In this matter, we must act according to law and punish without mercy!" Chen Jindou and Chen Jingzhi quickly kowtowed in thanks.

Zhang Shun then asked: "You two, one old and one young, how can you use money to make it worth it? Today we have no distinction between monarch and minister, only friends. Please tell me. If you have any difficulties, I will also help you think of a solution."
