God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 586 Confession
Dou Xianren immediately punched with all his strength, he thought he could knock down the enemy, but he missed it.

Not to mention depressed.

He dug holes again and again, and showed his resourcefulness again and again, but he didn't know that nothing would work in front of Du He.

Zou Lujun and the others panicked.

"Master Sima, make up your mind quickly, what should you do now!"

"Yes, if no one stops Du He, what if Du He really interrogates Fang Zhouzi!"

"Lord Sima..."

Dou Xianren said angrily: "Okay, now, the only thing we can do is go to the government office to stop Du He. We have already lost Zhang Dana and Jiang Niu, and we can't lose Fang Sihu anymore. Let's go, everyone, come with me, today we must Stop Duho."

"Yes!"

The crowd followed Dou Xianren and rushed to the Tongzhou government office aggressively.

When everyone arrived at the door, they saw that they were surrounded inside and out, all of them were yellow and emaciated people.

Dou Xianren asked curiously: "Didn't you say that those people have already escaped? Why did they appear again?"

A servant said: "Sir, these people are not the same group as those who appeared before. These are all hungry people in the west of the city. For some reason, they all ended up here."

Everyone saw that these people were dressed in rags, they were all skinny, and they smelled bad all over their bodies. They were undoubtedly hungry people.

Dou Xianren waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, let's go and find Du He first."

The subordinates squeezed their way in, and Dou Xianren and others came to the lobby.

Before everyone came, they had already prepared some arguments and wanted to persuade Du He.

But when they arrived at the scene, they found Du He sitting upright, Fang Zhouzi kneeling on the ground, trembling all over, and the body of the seventh head of the Yakou village lying next to Fang Zhouzi.

Dou Xianren stepped forward and said, "Master Hou, I have something to say!"

Du He slapped the table and said, "Dou Sima, you are late! Fangzhouzi has already pleaded guilty. Fangzhouzi, as the household secretary of Tongzhou, corrupted the law and even dared to embezzle the disaster relief funds and food allocated by the imperial court. Since last year Since Dongyue, the amount of embezzlement has reached [-] guan. He has a heart of repentance when he reads Fangzhou, and is willing to confiscate all his family property and help the victims. After discussing with the governor, he decided to remove Fangzhou from his post as a household official, temporarily imprison him, and choose a day to exile in Lingnan. If during this period Fang Zhou Zi has a heart of repentance and is willing to confess his accomplices, so the crime can be mitigated."

Dou Xianren was shocked.

Sentenced so soon?
Dou Xianren shouted: "Wait a minute, Lord Hou, Fang Zhouzi is considered guilty, but Master Hou convicted him so quickly, is it too hasty? Where is the evidence?"

Du He sneered, as if he knew that Dou Xianren would have such a question.

He waved his hand: "Bring the evidence!"

Two guards came forward carrying two boxes.

Crash.

The box was opened, and it was full of ledgers.

Du He pointed to the account book and said: "This is the account book found in Fang Zhou Zi's home. The left side is the clear account, and the right side is the hidden account. The Ming account is used by Fang Zhou Zi to deal with the imperial court's inspection. It is done perfectly. There is no problem, but he also made a secret account, which recorded the process of his embezzlement in detail."

Fang Zhouzi took great pains in order to embezzle. He hired the most brilliant accountant to make two sets of account books. He thought that no one would be able to find out the problem even if it was handed over to the court, but he underestimated Du He. He doesn't belong to this era. Although he is not an accountant, he has a little dabble in bookkeeping. No matter how clever the single-entry bookkeeping method used in this era is, it is scum compared to the future market. Therefore, Du He soon Problem found.

Dou Xianren and others didn't know what to say.

I heard Du He say again: "Bring witnesses!"

Immediately, an old man was brought up.

Many people know that this old man is the steward of Fangzhou Zifu.

Du He said: "Cheng Dahu, tell everyone what you know!"

Cheng Dahu said: "...Hou...Master Hou, it's really none of my business. Our master asked me to do all of this. I just need to find someone to keep the accounts..."

Cheng Dahu described the entire process of Fangzhou's embezzlement in great detail.

Fang Zhouzi actually dug a cellar in the backyard of the mansion to store the money from the embezzlement.

Du He ordered: "Come here, according to what Cheng Dahu said, go to the willow tree in the backyard of the Fang family to see if there is any money for embezzlement."

"Yes!"

Zhang Jian took people there in person.

Not long after, Zhang Jian came back, carrying a big box: "Young master, this was dug from under the willow tree in the backyard of Fang's family. There are a total of [-] guan. These Kaiyuan Tongbao are specially made by the imperial household department." There is no doubt that it is the money for disaster relief."

Snapped.

Du He patted the gavel, and said, "Fangzhou Zi, I will ask you again, can you be convicted?"

"Master Hou, the villain is guilty, guilty!" Fang Zhouzi quickly lay down on the ground and kowtowed, "Please forgive me, Lord Hou, I don't want to be exiled, I don't want to be exiled!"

Du He said coldly: "Whether you want to be exiled or not is not a question for you... This officer has already given you a chance. As long as you can confess your accomplices, this officer will give you the opportunity to perform crimes and make meritorious deeds. If you confess, you will be lenient and resist... ...Sit in prison, someone, take him down!"

Fang Zhouzi was taken out of the lobby, and suddenly burst into tears.

Du He glanced at Dou Xianren, and asked back: "Dou Sima, you defend Fangzhou Zi so much that you are not moved even in the face of ironclad evidence. Could it be that you are Fang Zhouzi's accomplice?"

Dou Xianren's complexion changed: "No, no, Master Hou was joking, my Dou family is not short of money, so why bother to embezzle! Now that the case has been tried, I will leave!"

Dou Xianren was very upset, so he turned around and left.

Du He looked at Zou Lujun and the others: "What about you?"

Everyone expressed that they would not be corrupt, and then left quickly.

"Okay, let's go, these five thousand guan... Wang Da, I will leave it to you, go and buy rice and vegetables quickly, so that the victims can have a full meal, and the next batch of disaster relief money and food from the imperial court It will arrive soon, and the official announced that the disaster victims in the same state will be fed twice a day from today, and they will no longer have to drink stinky porridge!" Du He said.

Those common people were silent at first, then they all knelt down and kowtowed to Du He one after another.

"My Lord Hou is a good man."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!"

"This Tongzhou finally has an upright official!"

This last sentence, in Yu Chigong's ears, felt extremely ironic.

The recorder Wang Da stepped forward and asked cautiously: "Master Hou, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the next official to take over the disaster relief work!"

Du He patted the other party's shoulder and said: "There is nothing wrong with it. I am the judge. You can temporarily take the position of the same state's household official. After a few days, you can officially take up the post after the governor completes the formalities." Already!"

Wang Da's eyes widened suddenly?

He feels like he is dreaming!
