Chapter 833 What is this situation? (two in one)(1/2)
The government office has now been blocked from four doors and is prohibited from entering and leaving.
A team of officers and soldiers directly seized the house.
The shocking change came so suddenly that the officials did not know what happened for a while. For example, senior officials such as the magistrates and the procurator had heard of the struggles in the court, and they knew more.
But the rest of Zhaomo, school inspection and other low-level officials, as well as the scribes in the government office, and the soap officials didn't know what happened.
Until Zeng Qianheng pointed out that the officials realized that such a large formation was coming to Lin Yanchao.
Seeing this, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but feel indignant: "According to the court, if you investigate the government office like this, whether you are guilty or not, the officials and people below all think that I, Lin Yanchao, are guilty of corruption?"
"I have been an official for many years and believe that although I have not made great contributions to the court, I have little reputation. How can I allow you to slander me in person? I will report to the Censor of the Censorate of the Censorate and let the court uphold justice for me."
After Lin Yanchao finished speaking, the two of the judges He Tong and Ma Tuiguan also said: "I have reported to the court that since the prefect of Lin Sima, the officials have always been trembling and hardworking in the public service. All the officials in our government office see this."
"Although the Hegong Material Farm was burned this time, it was not entirely Lin Sima's responsibility. Please follow the hospital to investigate."
Judge He Tong and Ma Tutor dared to take risks. At this time of heavy pressure, they could stand up and speak for Lin Yanchao. This made Lin Yanchao feel warm, and He Tong did not forget it. The Ma Tutor did not have a deep relationship with him on weekdays, so he even came forward to say a few fair words for him, which was really unexpected.
The common people also said, "The imperial envoy, Sima Lin is a good official, and a clean official."
"We ordinary people have been waiting for such a good official after all. You can't wrongly accuse him!"
Officials and the common people spoke out, and Lin Yanchao was unfair.
Under the public opinion, Zeng Qianheng smiled calmly and said, "Sima Lin, don't provoke public opinion to coerce my official position. My colleagues and people, you might as well wait for a moment. I will explain to you immediately, and I will not wrongly accuse Sima Lin."
Sure enough, after a moment, an official was taken into the government office by two officers and soldiers on both sides.
When Lin Yanchao saw the official, he couldn't help but get up and asked Zeng Qianheng, "Asking the court, this is the Huangfu Sutra of our mansion, what are you doing with him?"
The person who was imprisoned was Huang Yue.
Huang Yue also struggled and said, "Report to Sima, the Xiaguan is supervising civil servants by the river, and these officials will bring Xiaguan without any discrimination."
Zeng Qianheng looked at Huang Yue and said, "I took you, and I will ask you about the burning of the Hegong Material Floor."
"Huangfu Jing, you said that a few days ago, the Hegong Materials Farm received a large amount of nearly 30,000 taels of river materials and the willow reeds collected by the people. Did you personally use it?"
Huang Yue said: "That's right."
Zeng Qianheng said: "Did the material merchant give you two hundred taels of silver and ten jars of Shanxi rice wine? I hope you can get away with it so that their material can be used as inferior products?"
Huang Yue said anxiously: "I am wronged, wronged, and the lower official was entrusted by Sima to take charge of river labour. How dare I do such a thing? Yes, the merchant of the material goods gave me two hundred taels of silver and ten jars of rice wine."
"But they were afraid that the officials would make things difficult for them and deliberately provoked them, so they gave money and wine to let them be compatible with them. But the officials said, "I will do my business for the court and build a dike for the 300,000 people in Guide, and I have no selfishness in my heart. If you take this money and wine back, the officials will not take any of them."
Zeng Qianheng asked back: "Do you really have to go back? Nothing is left?"
Huang Yue was stunned when he heard this, and then said, "This..."
"Tell me the truth!" Zeng Qianheng shouted sternly.
Huang Yue then said: "At that time, they were sincere, and it was difficult to refuse the kindness of the officials. The officials were returned to the money, but the wine was left behind three jars!"
Zeng Qianheng slapped the table and said, "Three jars, these are not ordinary Shanxi rice wine, they are all aged for ten years, and the jars are worth ten taels of silver. Three jars are thirty taels, which is worth more than half a year of your salary."
Huang Yue said: "The officials did not notice it for a while, thinking it was just ordinary wine, but... but the officials who received the wine could confess their guilt, but the officials guaranteed that the great materials for the river engineering industry that were entering were never inferior to the good ones."
Zeng Qianheng sneered: "Now the goods are burned, you can say whatever you want."
Lin Yanchao said seriously: "According to the court, what do you mean is that this official accepted bribes from the Hebei Materials Merchants and asked them to use inferior products as good ones. Did you burn the Hebei Materials Merchants Merchants Merchants Merchants Merchants Merchants Merchants Merchants Merchants Merchants Merchants Merchants Merchants Merchants Merchants Merchants Merchants Merchants Merchants Merchants Merchants Merchants Merchants
Zeng Qianheng refused to answer.
"No evidence is just a slander!"
Zeng Qianheng said: "Sima Lin, you are still stubborn at this moment. It seems that you will not be convinced if you don't provide evidence. But now you don't have to hurry to do your business."
Zeng Qianheng looked at Huang Yue and said, "You have accepted bribes, the evidence is conclusive. I will take you down now! Come!"
As the inspector, Zeng Qianheng, he arrested officials under the sixth rank on the spot and asked the court for the power of the court afterwards.
Not to mention Huang Yue, an eighth-rank official, even a sixth-rank judge, Zeng Qianheng also said he could take it.
The two officers and soldiers pulled out Huang Yue's official uniform, knocked off his black hat, and let him kneel on the spot with his disheveled hair.
This scene made Lin Yanchao furious. Huang Yue was his person, which undoubtedly swept his face hard.
After Huang Yue was taken, the two accountants said, "We have already posted the bill. The government office has allocated 50,000 taels of ICBC on the books, but now there are less than 1,000 taels left on the books. Excluding the expenses of 11,000 taels, it is not counted as the 28,363,000 ounces of owed credit."
"There are 38,000 taels on the books that are unknown."
After Zeng Qianheng picked up the account book and read it, he said with confidence: "If that's true, Lin Sima, you explain to me one or two. Where did these 38,000 taels go?"
"The court gave you 50,000 taels of dike to build the embankment. Why can't you even take out a tael of silver after the river construction yard was burned? Where is the 38,000 tael?"
After saying that, Zeng Qianheng threw the account book on the ground in front of Lin Yanchao.
When the officials saw this scene, they all knew that Lin Yanchao was finished. The people watching also covered their mouths with an incredible look.
Why did Lin Yanchao do with 38,000 taels?
"Sima Lin, you are from Qingliu and you are the three-yuan master. You are appointed by Your Majesty's Golden Palace. How did you repay Your Majesty's holy grace?"
Speaking of this, Zeng Qianheng walked to the hall and said to the common people: "Dear colleagues and all the people, this 38,000 taels of silver was originally the Hebei Bank that the court built for our people."
"As a result, it was misappropriated by Sima Lin and deposited it into this rural merchant bank. You ordinary people's money is used as green seedling money and then lend it to the people, and then the interest earned is included in the pocket. 38,000 taels, 25% of the interest will be 9,500 taels of silver that year."
When the people heard that they were nine thousand five hundred taels, they all took a breath. This was such a big sum of money.
Zeng Qianheng sneered repeatedly: "You all open your eyes and see clearly. This is the honest official in your eyes. Good official, who secretly took the money from the court to lend money and embezzled official silver privately, causing the books to be empty. When the Hegong Material Floor was burned and the lives of the people were at stake, they could not afford a tael of silver."
Zeng Qianheng's words were like a knife and an axe, and the hearts of the people were shaken. If Lin Yanchao hadn't been in their hearts before, he would have probably gotten up and cursed.
The officials thought to themselves that Lin Yanchao was guilty of beheading.
Why do you say so?
Because the Hegong Material Farm was burned, Lin Yanchao was not strictly supervised, and at most he was demoted and left his post.
As for embezzlement of official silver and even greed for interest, it is not serious, and at most it is dismissed.
But embezzling official silver, embezzling interest, and even when the Hegong Material Floor was burned, he could not afford a tael of silver to respond to the emergency. This was a serious crime. If the emperor Long Yan was angry, he might have to be beheaded.
As soon as Zeng Qianheng came out, everyone knew that Lin Yanchao had a desperate situation.
There is inevitably a person's heart that falls down and everyone pushes him.
Zhou Tong, who was in charge of grain capture, came forward and said, "This move by the hospital really clears the clouds and shows the sun. The Ming Dynasty is full of chaos and the sun and the moon are bright. If we don't follow the hospital to expose the traitor, how can we discover the evil face of Sima Lin?"
"This person is really a traitor, and he always speaks for the people and the country. Even those who have been officials for many years have been deceived by his loyal face. Only with such a fiery eye as a court can he identify loyalty and treacherous, eliminate evil and promote good. The officials are obeyed!"
After hearing what Zhou Tong said, all the officials cursed in their hearts. After Lin Yanchao temporarily entered the office, as the first of the three generals, he flattered Lin Yanchao and flattered all day long. Lin Yanchao also reciprocated and did not interfere in the matter of grain capture, and gave it to Judge Zhou Tong alone for judgment.
Now that Lin Yanchao falls, you can't wait to come forward and draw a clear line with him and even put down the blame. Isn't this shameless?
But some officials thought that Zhou Tongzong had been an official in the position of grain capture judge for a long time, and he was too old to be promoted. But if he could contribute to Zeng Qianheng this time, he would be able to defeat Lin Yanchao.
Then Zeng Qianheng will be praised in the future. You must know that the inspector censor has the right to recommend officials, and this is the recommendation of the official. If Zeng Qianheng can get a word, Zhou Tong will have to end his ten years of verdict. He will not be promoted to two levels, and he will be promoted to the position of Lin Yanchao and be promoted to the magistrate of our government.
Wu Tong and other officials wanted to speak but stopped. They wanted to help Lin Yanchao talk, but misappropriated the official bank and lend money, so that after the Hegong Materials Farm was burned, the Tongzhi Office could not afford a tael of silver. The evidence was conclusive, and Lin Yanchao was in the wrong.
Looking around, Zeng Qianheng saw that no one talked to Lin Yanchao again. This time he not only wanted to get Lin Yanchao, but the important thing was that he wanted to get Lin Yanchao bad, which made him ruined. This incident spread to the capital and the emperor.
As we all know, Lin Yanchao is the destiny disciple of Shen Shixing. All the destiny disciples are like this, so what about Shen Shixing?
The emperor may lose trust in Shen Shixing because of this. Even if the emperor still trusts Shen Shixing, overthrowing Lin Yanchao will eliminate a general of the Shen Party. This is a victory for the Yantai.
Seeing that the victory was sure, Zeng Qianheng said to Lin Yanchao: "Sima Lin, I think of you and I as an official in the same dynasty in Beijing. I advise you to leave your face for yourself."
Lin Yanchao asked: "What should I do when the hospital asks me?"
Zeng Qianheng wondered why Lin Yanchao was so calm, but he still said: "I have handed over the seal of the mansion and suspended my post for impeachment."
In fact, Lin Yanchao was a fifth-rank official, and Zeng Qianheng could not remove him from office on the spot, so he could only write to the court.
But as we go, we consume a lot of money on the road.
Zeng Qianheng thought that since he had already defeated Lin Yanchao, he immediately took it and controlled it so that he would not have too many dreams. So he forced Lin Yanchao to resign voluntarily.
Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "The Huo Shaohe Materials Farm has involved so many things. Look at the people behind the scenes of the yard and you, not only have to defeat the official, but also have to be bad. You are so smart, so smart."
Zeng Qianheng shook his head and said, "It's time for this, and you are still stubborn. I have no prejudice against Sima Lin. Instead, I admired him very much when I first read the "World is the Imperial Memorial". But everyone has a mistake. You may go back to Beijing to explain to the emperor, but it may not be... Forget this court, I still hope that Sima Lin will take care of himself. The person who comes, sends Sima Lin back to his house to rest, and then seals up the rural merchant bank. All the people involved will be taken down, and no one is allowed to leave."
The officials were shocked when they heard this. It would be fine if Zeng Qianheng took Lin Yanchao one, but he would have to make a big prison. He would implicate this and make a big case.
Huang Yue and others all looked as if they were dead.
Just then, I saw someone suddenly laughing.
It was Lin Yanchao who looked at it.
But when Lin Yanchao heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "What's the point of not being able to get a crime? The court will report it to the public privately. I, Lin, will be honest and do not involve irrelevant people."
Zeng Qianheng heard this and said, "I really don't cry until I see the coffin. I want to leave you a little decent, but I don't care. When I come, Sima Lin was crazy and took him down and sent him to the room for care."
"Who dares!" Lin Yanchao stopped shouting.
Just then, gongs and drums were ringing outside the government office, and everyone thought to themselves which official was coming.
At this time, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate hurriedly came to report. Before he could speak, Zeng Qianheng said decisively: "No matter who comes, he will be blocked outside the gate. It is a vassal platform, and Nietai is no exception. I want to see who can stop me from handling the case today."
Zeng Qianheng finished speaking, but the officer and soldier still refused to leave.
To be continued...
