Chapter 423 Hiding Silver Taels ([-])

"Tian Mao, don't talk nonsense." Mao Wenyuan replied: "I didn't know that you used these things to fill your numbers. If I knew, I would not have spared you at the time."

Tian Mao said: "Master Mao, these batches of materials, batches of silver, from the county government to the embankment, and from the embankment to your pocket, tell me you don't know anything?"

"A large iron ingot costs four taels of silver, and you only gave me 7000 taels for the embankment to buy three thousand. Tell me you didn't know? Why didn't you know when you took the money?" Tian Mao said.

Mao Wenyuan pointed at Tian Mao, "Don't bite like a mad dog, I don't know from beginning to end!"

"Mr. Accountant," Du Jiuyan handed a piece of paper to the accountant, "Come here!"

The accountant took it over, and the account on it was made by himself. It listed the accounts four years ago, how much silver was sent by the county government each time, and how much material was reported by Wei Geng. This is a very beautiful and clear account.Then the secret account is how much money was lost, how much material was reported by Wei Geng, how much money was actually used, and how much was actually shoddy material.

Every stroke is clearly listed.

The accountant read the account books in front of everyone, then looked at Mao Wenyuan in fear, and said: "The dam four years ago was overdone, so I kept a copy of the accounts during the entire dam repair period."

"I can guarantee with my life that there is absolutely no fraud in the account above."

Mao Wenyuan's complexion changed drastically, he grabbed the paper, scanned it again, and said angrily: "Just now Du Jiuyan proved that the ink that was made four years ago and four years later must have been made by you to frame me after the incident .”

"I haven't." said the cashier.

Du Jiuyan smiled, "Master Mao has lived and learned so much, you can see through it. But it's a pity, this account is really from four years ago."

"Du Jiuyan, you are clearly wronging me. I have no grievances with you. Why did you do this?"

"If you have evidence, please don't force yourself, Mr. Mao!" Du Jiuyan patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "I admit it, I have something else to say."

Mao Wenyuan said angrily: "What do I admit, I didn't do anything, they framed me."

Du Jiuyan stared at him and sneered.

Wu Wenjun frowned slightly. He didn't know what evidence Du Jiuyan had of Mao Wenyuan, because he was the one who verified Mao Wenyuan, and all the relevant evidence was with him.

Du Jiuyan threw a stack of files in front of Mao Wenyuan, "Look for yourself, after reading it, let's talk about the crime of corruption, do you admit it?"

Mao Wenyuan froze for a moment, then picked up the file on the ground.

It was the four cases he handled, with a point circled in red pen on it, which stated the fact that he received money and judged biasedly.There are also two accounts for tax declarations and tax collections during his tenure.

The most important thing is that he partnered with the salt inspector to resell Yanyin. Just like that, he can drag out his clan and count their heads.

Mao Wenyuan looked at Du Jiuyan with a pale face, "What do you mean?"

"Lord Mao," Du Jiuyan said to Mao Wenyuan in a low voice, "You can't wipe off the shit all over your body. You can live so many years, you have to be grateful for knowing me so many years later!"

That's why she said just now that I'll get to know each other later.

"I brought it with me before I came." Du Jiuyan said, "Think about it."

As she spoke, she got up, packed up her things and handed them to Qian Daoan.

Whether one person died or a family died, Mao Wenyuan kowtowed very simply and said: "I plead guilty. In the embankment case four years ago, I embezzled a total of 8 taels of silver."

If you admit it first, maybe Master Wu can save him.

Whoa!
There was a lot of noise, and the inhaled body was pushed in like an avalanche. Outside the door, the people were so angry that they wished to rush in and kill the county magistrate immediately.

A small seven-rank county magistrate has corrupted [-] yuan on a dam.

No wonder everyone said that they would rather be a county magistrate of the seventh rank than a court official of the third rank. For this amount of money, they can earn more money than other people's businessmen.

"Refreshing." Du Jiuyan gave a thumbs up and put away the cases related to Mao Wenyuan.

Wu Wenjun already understood that Du Jiuyan really didn't have time to investigate Mao Wenyuan in detail, so she used threats to force Mao Wenyuan to confess his guilt.

"Du Jiuyan, you threatened the prisoner and forced him to confess in front of us?" Wu Wenjun said.

"Is he guilty?" Du Jiuyan asked back.

Wu Wenjun said: "There is no crime. It should be evidence, not threats."

"Time is short." Du Jiuyan and the scribe said: "Give Lord Mao a pen and paper, and let him write down all his crimes."

The scribe brought the banknotes to Mao Wenyuan.

She really didn't have time to check Mao Wenyuan, mainly because it was too late and it was difficult to check.So she used this method.

She has read most of the files in the Shaoyang yamen, and she remembers what she has seen, and she can keep silent when she remembers, and this is the stack of files just now.

It was not she who investigated the reselling of Yanyin by the partnership and the inspector, but Qiu Zhang gave it to her.

Because Qiu Zhang has done the same thing.

"Thank you, Mr. Mao." With a flick of his sleeves, Du Jiuyan concluded: "The 30 taels of silver that arrived in Shaoyang has already gone. 14 taels were used to repair the embankment, 6 taels belonged to the then county magistrate Mao Wenyuan, and 2 taels It belongs to Tian Mao and Huang Jue, and the [-] taels are bad debts."

"Tian Mao, Huang Jue, do you think the two of you are right?"

Tian Mao and Huang Jue agreed, and they also confessed the same number early in the morning, but they didn't tell Mao Wenyuan at that time.

"Okay!" Du Jiuyan cupped his hands at the adults, "60, half of it is clear, then let's talk about the other half."

"The remaining 30 taels," Du Jiuyan and Wu Wenjun raised their brows.

Wu Wenjun stared at Jin Rong to prevent him from talking nonsense.

But the strange thing is that Du Jiuyan never asked Jin Rong, and didn't even look at him.

"In Jin Rong's confession, it is said that 30 yuan did not go to Shaoyang, but went to Fahua Temple after going from the Ministry of Households to the Ministry of Industry." Du Jiuyan said: "This is the confession on the file. So I went to Fahua Temple."

"Fahua Temple is very big, and there are many places where 30 taels of silver can be hidden. However, Fahua Temple is very high, so how do you get the heavy silver?" Du Jiuyan walked around twice, "It was a coincidence that I went there that day. Just saw them moving things up."

"They bought a thousand catties of charcoal, and the donkey had to walk five times, and they had to be pushed by a few young masters. It still didn't rain. If it rained, the road would be wet, and I'm afraid they would have to use people to carry it up the mountain." Du Jiu Yan said: "Obviously, it is extremely stupid to hide silver in Fahua Temple. If you were a child, you would know that it would be easier to dig a hole and bury it than transport it to the top of the mountain."

"Now, we know that Bian Wenqing did not write a letter to tell Jin Rong, so why did Fahua Temple be mentioned in this fake letter?" Du Jiuyan asked everyone.

She finally stopped to take a look at Jin Rong, and just when everyone thought she was going to ask Jin Rong, she suddenly said, "I've thought about this question for a long time." She went to the door and asked the people outside, "Who is there?" I know, why did this person who gave false testimony to frame Bian Wenqing make such a mistake?"

There was a lot of discussion outside, and everyone was very excited to participate in the case.

Suddenly, a young monk in the crowd raised his hand and shouted: "Mr. Du, the poor monk knows."

"Please tell me." Du Jiuyan smiled.

In the yamen, except for Wu Wenjun and Jin Rong, everyone looked at the young monk.

The little monk couldn't help but blushed, and he said: "I, I am a monk from Fahua Temple. This person said that the silver is hidden in Fahua Temple because there was no Fahua Temple in June four years ago, and we all went along with it. They only moved back in May of the seventh year."

The people outside suddenly realized.

"Because at the beginning of the fifth year of Shuncheon, Fahua Temple burned down. During this period, Fahua Temple has been repairing. There are only a few craftsmen working on it one after another."

Du Jiuyan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, little master!"

"There were no monks in Fahua Temple that year. What does that mean? It means that no one can testify whether there was any silver in the temple at that time. It also means that no monks were involved in this matter."

"However, it also shows one thing. At that time, the construction period was very slow, and the Fahua Temple had to wait for the Buddha statue to be seated before being capped. Where can so much silver be hidden without being discovered by craftsmen? The answer is impossible!"

"Then, if the silver is not in Fahua Temple, where is it? 30 taels is not a decimal." Du Jiuyan walked around with his hands behind his back, and suddenly stopped to look at Qian Yu, "My lord, do you want me to argue the case?"

Qian Yu said with a smile: "Probably not necessary, you have made this case clear, and the official is also cleared."

"My lord, you and the abacus are knocking too loudly."

Qian Yu said: "Qian is still prepared, but it will be easier to have you now."

Du Jiuyan nodded, and looked back at the crowd, "So much money was transported from the Ministry of Industry at that time. According to the practice of the Ministry of Industry, there were at least [-] guards to escort it. The mighty convoy involved so many people... How can we do it?" Unknowingly changing the money?"

"So, someone appeared," Du Jiuyan said halfway, when Wu Wenjun suddenly interrupted her, "Du Jiuyan, are you talking too far?"

She actually went to investigate from the source, this person... is too tricky.

"My lord, it's not too far away, I'm still talking about money. Listen again, there are still a few words to pass to witnesses." Du Jiuyan said calmly.

Everyone looked at Wu Wenjun and felt that he was a little too impatient.

He blatantly stopped Du Jiuyan from speaking.

"Master Wu is impatient, so pass the witness directly." Du Jiuyan smiled.

Immediately, a tall man walked in from the door, he knelt down and cupped his hands and said, "The villain Zhang Haiyi was originally an employee of the Ministry of Industry."

Wu Wenjun's face became more and more ugly. He subconsciously looked towards the back office. Until now, there was no movement of what he ordered the cell boss to do. Even Mr. Tan didn't show up. It seems that something happened.

"Tell me you know." Du Jiuyan said.
