Chapter 193 It's Not Silver, It's a Human Head (Fifth Watch)
Chapter 193

Yan Song sat there, looking at the three of them and asking.

Who should investigate this case, they or Zhang Hao.

Xu Jie and the three of them heard it and looked at each other.

Then Xu Jie said, "Mr. Yan Ge, you'd better speak straight!"

"If the Ministry of Accounts is going to investigate, the money will of course be given to the Ministry of Accounts, but Zhang Hao will definitely not let it go. What they corrupted was the emperor's money, which was sent by Zhang Hao. That is to say, Zhang Hao would think that our household The Ministry of Finance lied to him, but did the Ministry of Accounts deceive us?

Who knew that the magistrate below was so bold that he dared to falsely report the disaster victims like this?This money, Zhang Hao definitely wants to go back!If Zhang Hao went to investigate, then the money, needless to say, right?
So, what I want to ask everyone now is whether we will lead this case or Zhang Hao will lead it! " Yan Song looked at them and asked.

Lu Ben also hesitated at this moment. If the Ministry of Household Affairs went to investigate, they still don't know what problems will happen.

And the officials below may have opinions, and even said that the doctors of the Ministry of Accounting may have participated. Once checked, the civil servants below may target the three of them. After all, the three of them did not help the officials below.

However, if the cabinet shelters them, can Zhang Hao let them go easily?
Of course, Zhang Hao can also be asked to investigate and offend those people, but as for the money, the money will go into the internal funds when the time comes.

Now the emperor is gradually controlling some ministers. It is not that the Ming Dynasty did not have clean and honest officials, nor did it have officials who were loyal to the emperor. in hesitation.

"So it's not easy to handle this matter!" Xu Jie said while stroking his beard.

"These bastards are just going to give us problems. Isn't this embarrassing us!" Sun Yingkui also said worriedly.

"Investigation, it's simple. After the investigation, things will be troublesome. In addition, if those prefects are replaced, you can tell me that the emperor will definitely consider the selection of personnel by the Ministry of officials. Just like now, many positions are not available. When the time comes, those prefects will most likely be chosen by the emperor himself!" Yan Song said angrily as he sat there.

"What should we do about this matter? We need to investigate. Zhang Hao is over there. If we don't investigate, he will investigate himself!" Xu Jie looked at them and continued to ask.

"Let's investigate. Since we want to investigate, let's investigate. Didn't they have been warned before, and they dare to mess around, aren't they looking for death?" Lu Ben sat there staring at the three of them and said.

"We can check, to what extent? This is seven or eight state capitals, involving dozens of counties, dozens of counties, if it's all over, I guess no one will be wronged, but after it's over?
Besides, can it be served in one pot?But if it's not all over the place, what will Zhang Hao's reaction be?Can he let it go? "Yan Song continued to look at them and asked.

"Check the magistrate, not the county magistrate!" Lu Ben said after thinking about it.

"Can Zhang Hao agree?" Yan Song stared at Lu Ben and asked, and Lu Ben looked at Xu Jie.

"What are you doing?" Xu Jie didn't realize what he was doing.

"Tomorrow, you and Sun Yingkui will go to Guangping Mansion. You can convince Zhang Hao that we will investigate the prefect, but we will not investigate the county magistrates for the time being. Now we need disaster relief, and we can't do it all at once. If we do, how can we appease the people then? So let him hold back for a moment,
In addition, as long as we find out the money from the corruption this time, we will return all the money and hand it over to the internal money, and hand over the other money to the household department. Let Zhang Hao leave this matter alone, of course he can supervise it! " Lu Ben looked at Xu Jie and said.

"I'm going?" Xu Jie heard it, and looked at the three of them in shock.

The three of them all looked at Xu Jie and nodded, thinking in their hearts, it's not you who will go, whoever dares to go, that is, you, you can still rely on your daughter to say a few words to Zhang Hao.

"This, isn't it appropriate?" Xu Jie looked at the three of them and asked.

"Should I go? If I go, what should he do if he beats me to death? This kid has been thinking about hammering me to death, but it hasn't been a day or two!" Yan Song looked at Xu Jie and asked.

Xu Jie looked at Lu Ben.

"The old man can't talk to him. Besides, there are so many things in the cabinet, it's impossible for the old man to leave!" Lu Ben also looked at Xu Jie and said.

"Do you want Sun Shangshu to talk to him?" Xu Jie didn't want to go either, he was also afraid of this son-in-law!

Once this son-in-law doesn't turn his head around, he will really kill him.

"No, Mr. Xu Ge, you can't go if you don't go. Our household department didn't do a good job this time. I went. I don't know if I will be cleaned up. You have to go for this matter!" Sun Yingkui immediately He said to Xu Jie that he hoped Xu Jie would go.

"This!"

"Go, if you don't go, who can handle him?" Yan Song saw that Xu Jie was still hesitating, and immediately said.

"Okay!" Xu Jie had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

Then they continued to discuss those details and went back very late.

After returning home without sleeping for an hour, they set off, and walked quickly to Guangping Mansion in a carriage.

At this moment, Zhang Hao has sent people to investigate how many people were affected by the disaster in the entire Guangping Mansion, how many supplies were distributed, and how many supplies were taken and distributed by the county magistrate below.

At noon, Zhang Hao received news one after another.

For the entire Quang Binh Mansion, the overreported and undistributed supplies this time amounted to 22 taels if calculated as money. It was a natural disaster, and the state government was able to corrupt 22 taels. Zhang Hao felt very uncomfortable.

If he didn't have to wait for the people from the household department to come over, Zhang Hao wished he could grab the prefect and beat him to death right now.

In the afternoon, Shen Lian came in and said to Zhang Hao, "My lord, Mr. Xu Ge and the left servant of the household department have arrived!"

"We'll be there when we arrive, let them in, and wait for me to pick them up, do they have this face?" Zhang Hao said very unhappy.

After a while, Xu Jie and the others came in by themselves. Seeing Zhang Hao sitting in front of the desk with a dark face, they didn't come to pick them up.

At this moment, they did not dare to care about this matter.

"Come, take a look, two adults, two officials of the people's parents, two ministers who the emperor relies heavily on, come and take a look!" Zhang Hao said while sitting there, patting the evidence on the table, looking at them with a sneer.

"Zhang Hao, we really don't know about this!" Sun Yingkui stood there and said to Zhang Hao.

"Then what do your household department know? Ah? What do you know? At the feet of the Son of Heaven, your household department doesn't know about such a thing? Also, the Metropolitan Procuratorate didn't respond, isn't it nonsense?" Zhang Hao stood there and pointed at them The two shouted.

"Zhang Hao, don't get excited, we also feel unbelievable after hearing this news." Xu Jie looked at Zhang Hao and said persuadingly.

"Don't get excited? Come on, my father-in-law, you come here, a Guangping mansion, just this natural disaster, you can get 22 taels of money, how is this money, this is the head of the common people, do you know the head?" Zhang Hao took Looking at the evidence, he said excitedly.

Then throw the evidence in front of them, scattered all over the place.

Xu Jie was dumbfounded, he never thought that Zhang Hao would be so excited.

"Come here, bring me Chen Hepan and the entire government here, have you brought all the other county magistrates here?" Zhang Hao said loudly while standing there.

"Yes, my lord, those county magistrates have already come!" Shen Lian said immediately, clasping his hands.

"Let them get out!" Zhang Hao shouted angrily.

"Yes!" Shen Lian went out.

But Xu Jie and the others were very embarrassed. One official of the first rank and the other an official of the third rank were scolded by Zhang Hao, a dissatisfied person.

But there is no way that Zhang Hao is Lord Hou, the person appointed by the emperor to be in charge of the review of the disaster relief funds.

Soon, above the court, all nine county magistrates arrived and knelt down.

Then the magistrate, Fucheng, Zhizhong, and general judges here were all suppressed.

"You ask!" Zhang Hao sat on it, with no intention of giving up his seat at all.

And Chen Hepan, who was kneeling on the ground, saw that one was a civil servant wearing a first-rank official uniform, and the other was a civil servant wearing a third-rank official uniform, and he was terrified.

At this moment, Sun Yingkui knelt down, picked up the evidence, and showed it to Xu Jie.

Xu Jie frowned and picked it up to look carefully at the evidence Zhang Hao got.

The more I looked at it, the more angry I was, and I actually withheld the official seal of the county magistrate below, so that it would be convenient for them to report false numbers.

"You are really brave!" Xu Jie gritted his teeth at this moment, staring at Chen Hepan and said.

"My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life!" Chen Hepan knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.

"Excuse me? Ha, please forgive me!" After hearing this, Xu Jie looked at Chen Hepan with a sneer, and then showed the evidence to Sun Yingkui.

After reading it, I don't want to say anything, what else can I say?They have already been found out, but how much money they have been corrupted before has not been found out.

"Zhang Hao, don't ask us if you ask, this case should be handed over to our cabinet!" Xu Jie said while sitting there.

"Okay, within seven days, 400 million taels of silver will be sent to the emperor!" Zhang Hao stood up and prepared to go down.

"400 million taels?" Xu Jie and the others stood up in shock, looking at Zhang Hao.

"The emperor paid 200 million taels for disaster relief. How did you agree? I estimate that the amount of corruption this time will not be less than 120%, 200 million taels! The least! Your cabinet will return the emperor's money and you will be fined. Two million taels!" Zhang Hao explained while staring at Xu Jie.

"Here, 200 million taels will be returned to the emperor, we understand, but the fine, this, this, where are we going to get it!" Xu Jie stared at Zhang Hao and said anxiously.

"That's your business, not mine, or I'll check it out, your cabinet and Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, get out of the way!" Zhang Hao stood there, staring at Xu Jie and said.

"This, this, let's not talk about this first, can we not talk about it first?" Xu Jie has no way to agree, and it is impossible to agree. How dare he decide such a thing by himself.

ps: More than ten minutes late, brothers, please understand, I really tried my best!
