Chapter 450

Sure enough, Leng Huatang really ordered someone to bring out a large ledger, and said to Leng Huating with a sneer, "I remember this ledger clearly. In the past month, Ye Da wantonly bought handmade cotton yarn from the private sector. The bid was as high as 40 taels of silver per peg, but the inspector did the calculations, and the cost price of a piece of finished cloth was only 30 taels. If he did this, how much money would the court make? No wonder the Nanyang caravan did not lose money.”

It turns out that Jinniang didn't expect that he would make a fuss about this insidiously. It was obviously that she asked Ye Yi to do it. It was just a stopgap measure before the spinning machine was repaired, that is, the collection was urgent and the price was high. It is also true, this despicable villain is really like a mad dog, he can bite people without anything.

"Bring Ye Yi up first." Of course Leng Huating was aware of the inside story, but Jinniang couldn't just admit it, otherwise, she would be involved as well.

When Ye Yi was brought in, he just looked sluggish and angry. When he saw Jinniang and Leng Huating were there, he was shocked and straightened up a little. He raised his head and glared at Jianghua Zhifu.

The prefect of Jianghua stepped down from his seat in a timely manner, bowed to Leng Huatang and said, "My lord, the subordinate officials have no right to interfere in this matter, and you should preside over the trial."

Leng Huatang was very satisfied with his hospitality and understanding, smiled and sat upright, and said to Ye Yidao: "Ye Yi, you are too bold, who ordered you to buy private yarn anchors at a high price, do you know that your move Losing nearly 5 taels of silver for the court, you, a small foreman, why do you do this?"

Ye Yi looked at Leng Huatang with a sneer and said: "My lord, this was originally an internal matter of Prince Jian's mansion, why did you make a fuss in this court? You know, regardless of whether the slave is greedy or not, it is all about this matter that is beating Jane. The face of the Prince's Mansion?"

Leng Huatang was shocked when he heard this, with a trace of arrogance on his face, he didn't expect Ye Yi to be so bold that he would say this to himself in the courtroom, how could he not know that this was a disgrace to Prince Jane's mansion, but, All the credit for going south this time was taken by Sun Jinniang, and she was kicked out of the other hospital in disgrace. If Sun Jinniang was not punished, how could he get rid of his hatred? Besides, he also investigated clearly in the past two days. The two machines have returned to normal operation, and Sun Jinniang's role in the base is no longer significant. Treating her now will not arouse too much resentment from the emperor and princes. Moreover, it is also the time to win back Moyu. The best, last time, who let Sun Jinniang give him a handle to catch him.

"You are presumptuous. This son is ordered by the emperor to monitor the operation of the base and the caravan. How can you disregard the laws of the country because of private affairs? You'd better recruit them quickly. Who ordered you to buy Sha Ding at a high price? This price, and what is the price?" Who made the decision, and how much money have you been greedy for?" Leng Huatang slammed the gavel with a dignified look.

Ye narrowed his eyes, and his old eyes were full of fear and ridicule. He sneered and said, "Of course the old slave made his own decisions. The spinning machine is broken, and I don't know when it will be repaired. Seriously, without raw yarn, there are still [-] bolts of cloth that cannot be delivered on time, so this old slave is just a stopgap measure, so how could it be wrong?"

"Hmph, even if it's an expedient measure, you shouldn't set the price so high, Ye Yi, this prince has done an investigation, and what you really paid to the common people is only 35 taels of silver for a piece of silk, and what is on your account But it is 40 taels of silver, how can you explain this?" Leng Huatang flipped through the ledger and shouted in a cold voice.

"Collection requires manpower and material resources. It is true that the payment to the people is only 35 taels of silver, but the cost of manual transportation and other expenses has been reduced by [-] taels. Could it be that this account can't be calculated by the prince?" A trace of panic flashed in Ye Ye's eyes, slyly replied.

Jin Niang frowned when she heard this, Ye Yi, although he does things neatly, but he must be greedy, the labor cost of five taels of silver for a yarn is really too much, it seems that what happened today is really true It's not easy.

Sure enough, Leng Huatang laughed loudly, and scolded Ye Yi: "Do you think this son is a three-year-old child? That gauze anchor is only heavy, and one anchor needs five taels of silver? It seems that, Without severe punishment, you will not recruit the people behind the scenes."

As he spoke, he slapped the gavel and said loudly: "Come on, put this traitor on a stick."

Pinch stick?Is it the kind of finger-pinching instrument you've seen on TV before?When Jinniang thought of that Dongdong, her muscles ached for a while. When she saw the tragic scene of being tortured on TV, she couldn't bear it. Ye Yi is almost sixty, can he stand such torture?

Moreover, Leng Huatang obviously wanted to drag himself into the water to punish himself. He just ordered Ye Yi to collect the yarn, but he never cared about the price, but this was just a verbal order. Yes, and there is no proof, when the time comes, he will definitely insist that Ye Yi's actions are all at his own instigation, so insidious, he did this trick only after he completely restored the base, a typical way to kill a donkey, what's the point? Demolish the bridge.

As expected, the yamen servants came up with instruments of torture. They held down Ye Yi, and clamped his nearly withered old hands in the handles. In the past, but the yamen guard looked like an experienced executioner. Seeing that the prisoner was about to faint, he let go at the same time, letting him take a breath, and then pulled hard.

Ye Yi couldn't bear the pain, her hands kept shaking, her head was sweating profusely from the pain, Jinniang couldn't stand it anymore, she opened her mouth to admit it, but saw Leng Huating cast a disapproving look , he wanted Ye Yi to bear it alone, but could Ye Yi really bear it?
The torture is still going on, Ye Yi has already passed out from the pain, Leng Huatang's face is gloomy, he didn't expect Ye Yi to be so hard, he refused to confess Sun Jinniang after he died, so he said in a heartbeat: "Come on, Wake him up and put him on the tiger bench."

When Jinniang heard this, she was so nervous that she almost lost her breath and fainted, her heart was pounding, and she couldn't bear to watch it any longer.

Ye Yi woke up slowly, and the tiger stool was brought out, and was about to be executed, Ye Zhongbin, Ye Yi's son, finally couldn't stand it anymore, and threw himself on Ye Yi, protecting Ye Yidao: "My lord, I say, It was the young master who ordered daddy to do this, it was the young master who told daddy to collect the yarn temporarily because he could not catch up with the goods going south."
