The Red Mansion Is Like a Jade Gentleman

Regarding the matter of the Zhen family's money, in simple terms, the Zhen family should have more than 70 taels of wealth, but I don't know what method the Zhen family used to deceive the upper and lower, and just sold the property worth more than 70 taels. 25.

It's okay if the price is just lowered by others. After all, there is no business and no cheating. This is also common sense.But look at the people who bought the property of the Zhen family, all of them are in-laws and family friends of the Zhen family.Even Xue Gao managed to snatch some under the banner of Xue Pan's house.

Among them, if there is no trick, do you really think that everyone else is a fool?

According to Xue Gao, Lin Hai quickly noticed one thing, that is, after the Shi family and the Jia family bought the property of the Zhen family, they did not keep it, but changed hands and sold it to others in Jinling. The silver was not transported back to the capital, but disappeared out of thin air in Jinling!

This is what the emperor found out. According to the emperor's estimate, the Zhen family's property before the accident was far more than this, so the money transported to the capital by the Zhen family was far less than the money he embezzled in weaving salt administration.

Both the Jia family and the Shi family have been included in the yellow list by the emperor, but they don't know whether they will be ransacked, beheaded or reprimanded in the future!Lin Hai's task is to find out these two sums of money.

For the previous sum of money, Lin Hai has a connection, and it is with Mrs. Wang. This is the nail of Jia's family.It is estimated that there are about 50 taels of silver in total, but during this period of time, because Jia Yuanchun has a huge demand for silver in the palace, Mrs. Wang has already moved 5 taels of silver out!

The person who transported the silver to Beijing was Mrs. Zhen, who mixed the silver with the dowry and transported it to the capital in the name of giving her daughter a wedding.For certification, Lin Hai has already found it, and the physical evidence in Mrs. Wang's room is all that is needed, but it is a dead thing, so I am not afraid that he will run away!

Another sum of money.Lin Hai really didn't have any ideas, he didn't know what the Zhen family transferred, he didn't know where the Zhen family moved, and he didn't know how many things were transferred by the Zhen family!

I don't know anything, I can only look up at the sky about this matter, Lin Hai is a human being or not a god!

Emperor Xianguang knocked on the imperial table with his fingers, and said with some displeasure: "What Lin Qing means is that you can't find it?"

Lin Hai knelt down and said: "If you go back to the emperor, since the Zhen family is thinking about hiding the money, they must have thought about everything before doing it. It's not that the humble minister shirks. There will always be traces when everything is done. Let the minister thoroughly investigate. There will definitely be clues in the silver melting place in Jinling." But killing Emperor Xianguang would not let Lin Hai investigate this.

Melting silver, as the name suggests, is to heat the silver at high temperature to melt the silver into silver water.Come for a recast.

Although silver and gold have always been precious metals, as long as they are still metals, they will wear out one day.Although silver and gold are not easy to be oxidized, but after a long time, especially after being touched by thousands of hands.There will still be wear and tear. In order to ensure the uniformity of the tax money paid, the imperial court is in each state and each government.They all set up silver melting offices for the purpose of allowing the Ministry of Accounts to count the silver.

But this is because in the middle of recasting, there must be loss, so this is also a major source of corruption by ancient officials.This must be thoroughly investigated to ensure that there is no official in the country who does not win the lottery.Because this is corruption that everyone knows well, but it is corruption that is placed in the sun.

The only difference is.Some people corrupt less, some people corrupt more.

That is, the emperor knew the truth of the matter, but he could only watch these ministers be greedy.The reason is very simple, if you don't recast it uniformly and specify the amount of silver in a box, you can't let the household department collect the tax silver, take it to the side of the scale, and weigh it bit by bit!

So unmannered!

Moreover, when people go out to use silver, they use special tools to divide the silver into loose silver, and use it in one tael or half a tael.If all taxes were paid in retail bank, there would be even more chances of being stolen.

Therefore, even if the emperor knew it in his heart, he could only do so.Who knows that these days, there are no such things as banks and remittances!

Sure enough, Emperor Xianguang thought about it, frowned and said: "It is definitely impossible to thoroughly investigate Rongyin. Didn't Lin Qing ask clearly about Rongyin's affairs during this period of time?"

"If you go back to the emperor, the historians of the Jia family are willing to cover up for the Zhen family. This is a private affair among nobles, so there is nothing to worry about. Moreover, according to the investigation of the minister, the Zhen family used the dowry as a cover except for the excuse of their aunt getting married. Except for the 50 taels of silver transported to the capital, there is no other situation, which proves that the Zhen family also transported silver to the capital!"

What Lin Hai said was very ingenious. What do you mean by "there is no other situation?" In other words, the situation he has grasped so far is just like this.As for whether there are other situations with the emperor, he doesn't know!

"The two pieces of silver from the Zhen family are not a small amount, and the silver cannot be broken silver. If the silver ingots are melted and cast, if it is a Yinzhuang money shop, there must be their own handwriting specially cast on the silver ingots, and they can also be inspected.

Among them, the amount of money transported to the capital has been found out by Weichen. The Zhen family used the Dahong Bank's route, and used their power to give Dahong Bank convenience, and then asked Dahong Bank to help the Zhen family melt the silver.For this sum, although Weichen has not found out the final destination, the people from Dahong Bank have already recruited it!It can be confirmed that this sum of money is the proceeds of selling property before the Zhen family was convicted. "

"That's another one!" Emperor Xianguang asked, the source of this one has been found out, as long as you follow the vine, you can touch the melon, it's just a matter of time.This made Emperor Xianguang very happy, 50 taels of silver is not a small amount, and even if it is only one tael of silver, it is still silver!No one thinks too much of silver.

Lin Hai frowned and said, "I'll ignore that. Regarding the investigation of melting silver, that old fox Zhen Yingjia obviously thought of this, so in the next year or so, he will go to the state capital of Jinling. According to the investigation, during this year, a few boys from Melting Silver had unexpected accidents, some died of illness, and one of them disappeared without a trace.

The people on Melting Silver changed three batches in total, so Weichen didn't have a clue for a while, what kind of background these people are, whether there is anyone behind them, according to Weichen's superficial knowledge, these are all things that need to be thoroughly investigated Melting silver can make the difference clear. "

Lin Hai's words were not meant to embarrass Emperor Xianguang on purpose. The matter of melting silver was a major matter, a matter of legitimate corruption, so many people were staring at it.People who can work in it don't have any background of relatives, so they definitely won't do it.But according to the principle of mutual protection between officials and officials, this aspect is not understood by officials like Lin Hai who occasionally investigate cases.

Without a thorough investigation, it is difficult to know the forces behind these people.However, a thorough investigation may cause the situation in Jinling to become unstable.Therefore, it is up to Emperor Xianguang whether to continue to pursue the matter and whether to investigate thoroughly.

If Emperor Xianguang really dared to make a thorough investigation, Lin Hai would not mind playing with Emperor Xianguang. He dared to report this to Emperor Xianguang because he had already prepared a retreat for himself.Even if the plan cannot keep up with the changes in the future, Lin Hai's old life is still safe.

But obviously Emperor Xianguang still didn't want to make this matter a big deal, after all, when the late emperor was still alive, he said that everything would be over.Emperor Xianguang wants to conduct a thorough investigation again at this time, not only does it give people a feeling of turning over old scores, but also a feeling of disrespect for the former emperor.

Generally, if the emperor wants to revise the old account, someone will file a complaint in front of the emperor, and then say that there is a serious grievance in a certain case, and then they have to produce iron proofs, so that the new emperor will reverse the case.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, an unjust case is an unjust case, who cares about you.I have been wronged, and I deserve it.

"Take people's money and eliminate disasters with others. I don't know what benefits the Zhen family has given to the Shi family and the Jia family. Let them do this." Emperor Xianguang thought about it, and smiled: "All this effort is just to keep an obvious one. I am afraid that these people have big plans for the old Xun who has been convicted. Since the Jia family and the Shi family have come forward, it is better to start with them first and turn against the guests!"

Lin Hai quickly said: "Your Majesty, although the Jia family and the Shi family have helped the Zhen family, we have enough evidence to prove that they have intervened in this matter, but this is the consistent style of the big family. If this is the reason It's almost impossible, Wei Chen is worried about other families..."

As a courtier, you must understand that if you give the emperor a chance to show off, what the hell do you want the emperor to do if you finish everything.Therefore, when speaking, one must also be skilled. For some things, half of the talk should be reserved for the other half, so as to give the emperor room to play.

Emperor Xianguang understood what Lin Hai meant. This kind of mutual help between the in-laws of the aristocratic family was not limited to the Jia family historians. This kind of thing should be traced back to the establishment of the aristocratic family.

For example, if the Lin family is about to be sued, no matter whether there is any fault or not, the in-laws of the Lin family must speak for the Lin family.As for what will happen in the future, that one said otherwise, if you can save it, save it, if you can't save it, you have to leave a blood for the Lin family.This is the real purpose of the marriage of the aristocratic and powerful families.

As long as he is alive, anything is possible, maybe one day in the future, he will lead this army and destroy this dynasty!No one can guess what the future holds.

Therefore, for such unspoken rules, Emperor Xianguang could not move.Once it moves, it is not a matter of the Jia family historians, but a matter of the entire upper class!

The running dog dies, the rabbit dies and cooks!

These words are not just nice to say, Emperor Xianguang can use this excuse to eradicate the Jia family and Shi family today, maybe another emperor will raz your family in the future.

Emperor Xianguang frowned: "Then what is Yi Linqing's meaning?"
