The days when I fished in Daming

Chapter 278

"Now that the incident has happened, we are here to arrest all the criminals and bring them to justice."

"Liu Shilang's mansion is now officially sealed up."

"People from the Liu Mansion, if they can report and expose Liu Shilang's illegal behavior, they can be dealt with lightly."

"This must be Liu Shilang's family member. Do you have anything to say, or just come with us?"

I just asked, but it seems that I can't go back.

The days that were getting better and better, collapsed in an instant after this self-report.

Mrs. Liu just felt that the sky was falling and was crumbling, and her children and Liu Bucheng were the same, they all slumped on the chairs.

My family knew about my family affairs, Liu Bucheng was able to run a gambling house, his own salary was definitely not enough, he must have the first bucket of gold, and the source of the first bucket of gold is self-evident, the origin must be disgraceful, there is no other possibility except corruption.

Now that the incident happened, even the mansion was sealed up, following Lao Zhu's order, and basically it was hopeless.

The family's eyes were dull, and they were tied up one by one by the soldiers brought by Zheng Shiyuan. It took a while for Madam Liu to come back to her senses, and said loudly.

"My wife has an order from His Majesty. Even if my husband is guilty, you can't directly convict her before the truth of the case comes to light. You will also tie up your wife, and don't untie her quickly, otherwise I will report you to Your Majesty."

It was originally a normal request, but unfortunately the matter was basically unresolved. From Liu Shilang's expression in the hall, it could be seen that he had already accepted his fate.

It is impossible to be decent now, and it is Zheng Shiyuan who leads the team, which is related to his own performance, the evidence is conclusive.

Zheng Shiyuan, the mastermind, was merciless.

"take away."

Just such a sentence, cold and ruthless.

As all the people in the mansion were brought under control, Zheng Shiyuan led his troops to rummage through the Liu Mansion, not missing any corners.

There is no need to change Liu Qian's lawlessness. What he is doing now is to find out more evidence, look at the upstream and downstream benefit chains, and expand the attack area.

After all, nothing can be done by one person.

There must have been a lot of people involved.

After turning Liu Qian's mansion upside down, more and more evidence appeared in front of Zheng Shiyuan.

Flipping through it, one of the ledgers caught Zheng Shiyuan's attention.

And here, there are many officials involved, and the official positions are also very high, the most conspicuous one is the Minister of the Ministry of War.

However, the information inside did not directly accept bribes, it was more like a gift list.

It records in a certain year, a certain month and a certain day, when Shangshu's family held a wedding, how many gifts were given.

It was originally an ordinary gift list, but the amount was too large, a total of [-] guan, anyone who came had to pay attention.

The perceptive Zheng Shiyuan immediately noticed the unusualness of this great gift, but it was just a gift list, and Zheng Shiyuan didn't have a good idea.

Such a big contribution is ahead, and Zheng Shiyuan didn't want to give up, so he immediately called everyone together and asked, pointing to the gift list.

"The amount of such a gift list is too large. Who among you knows the inside story, as long as you get it honestly, you may be able to reduce the punishment in the future."

"From now on, in the next quarter of an hour, you can report and expose, and you won't wait until it's too late."

"I can also tell you clearly that Liu Qian and Liu Shilang's crimes are clear and unforgivable. You don't need to be lucky and hope that something will happen or someone will save your life. You should think about it carefully. I am here waiting for you."

Zheng Shiyuan's words were a bit scary, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally lowered their heads under Madam Liu's warning gaze.

But there are always a few timid ones who know the inside story and can't stand the pressure. Under Mrs. Liu's cannibalistic eyes, they raised their heads and said to Zheng Shiyuan.

"My lord, the young ones know a little bit, don't you know that what an adult says counts?"

Zheng Shiyuan nodded lightly.

"What you said, I will write it down for you on paper. When the time comes, depending on the value of what you said, I will give you a lighter punishment as appropriate."

After Zheng Shiyuan finished speaking, a person walked out, holding a pen and paper, and made a gesture of recording.

Seeing this situation, this person weighed it a little bit in his heart, and then told everything he knew.

"Back to my lord, my little one once passed by the master's bedroom inadvertently at night, and heard some reasons."

"On that day, Patriarch Liu happened to be returning from having a drink with Master Shangshu. Because he gave too many gifts, Madam even complained a few words."

"Patriarch Liu explained the reason for this, saying that someone reported him and was known by Master Shang Shu, and he wanted to find out the details."

"Patriarch Liu got the news from somewhere, and it happened to be a happy event for Master Shangshu's family, so he presented a generous gift."

"The other little ones don't know much about it. They only know that the gift was not returned, and Patriarch Liu didn't bother to come to the door."

The recorder wrote quickly, completely recording this passage on paper.

Zheng Shiyuan nodded in satisfaction and said to him.

"Very good, what you said is very useful, this will be recorded, does anyone have anything to add?"

With No.1, there will be a second person. Seeing that Liu Qian's fall is imminent, everyone has spoken out what they know.

Wanting to talk too much, the voice was extremely noisy, Zheng Shiyuan snorted, then pointed to one person and said.

"Take your time one by one, you speak first."

Those who were pointed out were overjoyed. The more this kind of thing goes forward, the better. If there are too many things to say later, it will inevitably be repeated, so there will be no effect.

"My lord, as far as I know, there is another gift list in the study of the Patriarch, among which is the money sent by the guests for the great joy of the Liu family."

"Some of them seem to have some contacts with the Patriarch. The young one remembers a few people, and the conversation with the Patriarch in the study was overheard by the young one."

"It is said that I have some ordinary horses in my hand, but I am short of a batch of good horses. If I can find them and replace them, I can give a price difference of about ten taels per horse."

"At that time, Patriarch Liu didn't say he agreed or disagreed. The younger ones heard so much, but whoever the younger ones know, if it's useful, the younger ones can testify to the adults."

Another very important clue, with a breakthrough, the rest will not be too far away.

"Okay, come here, take him to find the account book, circle the people involved in it, and record what you said for you."

After the people left, Zheng Shiyuan pointed at another person casually and listened to the reported information.

As time passed, Zheng Shiyuan found more and more clues from the account book and gift list of the Liu Mansion.

And these clues point to more and more people.

There are more and more officials involved.

The same is true for the team led by Mao Xiang, but it went smoother.

Not to mention the gradually established intelligence system.

Mao Xiang just found the head of the driving department to control the personnel first.

When the news of Liu Qian's incident came out, the head of the driving department, like a bamboo tube pouring beans, explained all the things he had committed.

There are detailed ledgers and related lists of collusion, and Mao Xiang basically knows all of them without much effort.
