Bachelor

Chapter 461
Yang Yiqing's astonishment is understandable. Before becoming a member of the cabinet, Mr. Yang Ge was an upright person.Moreover, Yang Yiqing's prestige is very high, and he has a lot of knowledge in his chest, so he speaks in a different way.

As soon as he saw him open his mouth, Lu Bingxin yelled "Oops, he can't say enough about this old Yang head."If he disturbs it, it will be troublesome if this matter is pursued further.As a good old man, the future Dugong Lu, Sun Dan, and Huang Jin are all old friends, so naturally he doesn't want these two good friends to be strangled to death.He felt that he had the responsibility and obligation to be the peacemaker for Sun and Huang, so naturally he would not let Yang Yiqing make excuses to continue.

Lu Bing immediately interrupted Yang Yiqing, smiled and said to Sun Dan: "Since you said so, Jingyuan, this matter will be concluded in this way, and I will escort a group of criminals back to the capital tomorrow." He touched his head and sighed: " Reconstruction after the disaster still needs to be done, Wang Shu's case is actually very simple, we must not listen to criminals and catch wind and shadows, this is not the meaning of your Majesty!"

He was originally a handsome young man, but now he pretended to sigh deeply, which seemed a little funny to people.

Sun Dan nodded: "That's it, it doesn't make much sense to delve into this matter."

Yang Yiqing was stunned, and looked at Sun Dan quietly, not understanding what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd. This is not Sun Dan's character.

Sure enough, Sun Dan had something to say: "But..."

Lu Bing grinned again and asked, "But what?"

Sun Dan: "However, this Wang Shu and Gan Bida have to pay out all the money from Hegong in Suining who are greedy for ink. This Wang Shu has been an official in the Hecao Yamen for many years, and I don't know how much money he has embezzled."

"Yes, yes, everyone should stand up." Yang Yiqing suddenly cheered up. As a cabinet member, he will also take charge of the household department. No one knows the state of the country's financial situation better than him.Otherwise, the Ministry of Household Affairs would not borrow money from the Lu Family Bank.

He quickly calculated in his mind that Wang Shu and Gan Bida had embezzled at least 40 taels for the Suining River embankment project alone.Every year, the imperial court allocates so much money from He Gong, and after more than ten years, at least one million taels fell into their hands.

With this sum of money, the resettlement funds for the victims will be settled, and there is no need to borrow money from the Lu Family Bank.

After copying Wang Shu and Gan Bida's house, the money will be free immediately, why not do it?
Yang Yiqing: "Huainan suffered unprecedented floods, and there are places where money is used everywhere. These two thieves were copied and used to help the victims."

Lu Bing also knew that this was a large sum of money, but looking at Yang Yiqing, he swiped his pen and wanted to leave all the money in Huai'an, but he became anxious.This is a huge sum of money, so it was divided up like this. When he returned to the capital in the future, the emperor was interested and suddenly asked: "Lu Bing, I heard that you have stolen the homes of Wang and Gan. Where is the money?" How should Lu Bing answer?

This majesty is shrewd and capable, but he has an unimaginable love for yellow and white things. He can talk about other things, but when it comes to money, he turns his face faster than turning the book.

Lu Bing laughed: "Yang Xiang's heart is for the victims, and he is selfless. Lu Bing admires it, but it seems inappropriate for the Ming court to stop all the money in Huai'an, right?"

"What's wrong?" Yang Yiqing was very displeased, and said: "I will be in charge of the household department soon, and the country's Taicang's income and expenditure will naturally be decided by me. Even if we report to the imperial court, don't the ministers in the cabinet see the big picture of Huainan?" For water, the money must be allocated, otherwise it will be impossible to raise funds from the people. Lu Bing, what you said is so unreasonable. Is it possible that we have to send the stolen property to the capital first, and then transfer it back when the imperial decree comes down? Huainan. If so, wouldn’t it be unnecessary?”

"The imperial court has its own rules and regulations, and the procedures must be followed." Lu Bing did not back down, and insisted: "In any case, the money and goods must be sent back to Beijing first. As for how to arrange the funds in the future, His Majesty will decide." , has its own cabinet planning."

Watching them quarreling, Sun Dan felt as if, in fact, this was an idea he came up with just now.The so-called money touches people's hearts.That's right, among the three present, Lu Bingben is a rich man, while Yang Yiqing is a gentleman. As for Zhang Cong, he is only greedy for power and has no desire for money.But among the three, Yang Ge always wanted to use money for disaster relief, Lu Bing wanted to send the money back to Beijing to invite favor in front of the emperor, but Zhang Cong didn't care.

Now, the money has not been shadowed yet, and Yang and Lu started to argue, which is too early, so naturally they fell into my trap.

Sun Dan waited for the two to quarrel for a long time, then coughed, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Yang, brother Lu, stop arguing, and listen to me to say something fair."

"What's fair, anyway, these tens of thousands of victims need food, clothing and shelter, and have no money to give relief, so let them become refugees and cause chaos?" Yang Yiqing snorted, but also fell silent.

Sun Dan said: "If this is not the case, if all the money obtained from the house raiding is intercepted, Lu Bing will not be able to explain it to the court. All the adults also know that Wang and Gan are rich. This time we will definitely gain a lot. Why not first A part of it is withheld to be used in advance to help the victims, and the rest is sent to the imperial court. In this way, the family gets a little bit, and each gets what he deserves."

Yang Yiqing thought for a while, then nodded: "Alright, I'll spend 50 yuan from Wang and Gan's property first."

"Jingyuan makes sense." Lu Bing also agreed with Sun Dan's opinion. Seeing what Yang Yiqing meant, if you don't give him some funds, Lao Yang probably won't agree, and it seems that he can only compromise: "But , Mr. Yang Ge, is 50 too much, it is absolutely impossible."

"It's too much, I calculated this figure." As he spoke, Yang Yiqing calculated the accounts for Lu Bing ten to fifty, and finally said: "In my opinion, Wang and Gan have at least two years. I have corrupted 160 million taels, so using your 50 taels for disaster relief is not too much, right?"

The two had another dispute. In the end, Lu Bing only agreed to give 30 taels to Huai'an Mansion. Only in this way can the matter be settled.

After everyone discussed it, without delay, they immediately mobilized the army to search Wang Shu's house.

Wang Shu had a big courtyard in the city, and Gan Bida lived in the yamen.

Eunuch Gan's place is not big, so Zhang Cong and the prefect of Huai'an took people there.As for Wang Shu, who is the big head, Yang Yiqing personally led the team, accompanied by Lu Bing and Sun Dan, with great momentum.

When they arrived at Wang Shu's house, the soldiers immediately started to drive Wang Shu's family and servants into a small courtyard, and then began to search.It's strange to say that Wang Shu is such a big official, but the furnishings in his home are very simple, and there are not many servants in his family. There are only a dozen or so people in total, and the clothes on his body are also very simple.Take his wife and children as an example, their clothes are also patched.

A burst of chicken and dog jumping.

Sun Dan, Yang Yiqing, and Lu Bing stood in the yard and waited. After about an hour, a soldier finally came to report.
