Chapter 232 Sixty-five thousand taels of dirty silver
"What?"
At night, in the imperial study room, Zhu Yuanzhang stared with big eyes, his face full of anger, and roared loudly.
"He Li Bin is such a big dog. A seventh-rank official dared to embezzle more than 800,000 taels of silver and store more than 100,000 taels of silver at home. Is this a fool treating us as a fool?"
Below, Yang Xian and Tang He both lowered their heads and lowered their eyebrows, stood there with a blank expression, quietly waiting for the anger in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart and venting it.
After watching the "Corruption Cashier" account book hidden in the study at Li Bin's home, Tang He was also full of disappointment with Li Bin while angry.
Eight hundred thousand taels of dirty silver.
How dare he, Li Bin?
To this day, Tang He has been a little confused!
Yang Xian was exactly the opposite of Tang He and was full of joy.
"Yang Xian, did Li Bin explain where the other 600,000 taels of dirty silver?"
After Zhu Yuanzhang vented almost the same, he slowly asked Yang Xian.
"Return to the emperor, no matter how I interrogated me, Li Bin would not answer!"
Yang Xian hurriedly bowed and replied.
"Hmph, continue to interrogate! More than 600,000 taels of dirty silver, we want to see, who else has such courage?" Zhu Yuanzhang hummed angrily.
"I obey the order!"
Yang Xian replied quickly.
Tang He, who was standing beside him, still looked at his nose and his heart, treating himself as a wooden man, without moving at all.
"Tang He?"
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but frowned slightly.
"emperor?"
Tang He seemed to have just come to his senses, and quickly bowed his hand and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with confusion on his face.
"Li Bin is temporarily detained in the Censorate. Without my will, please be rigorous of anyone to contact you!"
"I obey the order!"
After hearing this, Tang He quickly bowed his hand to salute.
"Okay, I'm tired, let's retreat!"
Then, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand gently and said.
Seeing this, Tang He and Yang Xian hurriedly bowed and retreated.
...
And in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Li Shanchang was also full of sorrow and his heart was full of uneasiness.
"Li Wei, you heard it clearly. It's really 100,000 taels of silver?"
"When I go back to the master, the villain heard it clearly. Yang Xian and Lord Tang really found ten boxes of silver from Lord Li's mansion, and the total total was 100,000 taels!"
The butler Li Wei hurriedly replied.
"Go and invite the eldest son!"
After hearing this, Li Shanchang looked moved and shouted quickly.
"yes!"
Li Wei responded quickly and walked out quickly.
In less than a while, Li Wei followed Li Qi and walked in.
"The boy has met his father!"
Li Qi looked at Li Shanchang with a puzzled look and asked, "I don't know if my father is so late, and I call the child over here, but what is important?"
"Li Bin was arrested by Yang Xian!"
Li Shanchang said.
"Li Bin was arrested? Why did he get arrested again?"
After hearing this, Li Qi couldn't help but panic and asked quickly.
Seeing this, Li Shanchang's face darkened, and he couldn't help but stare at Li Qi, saying, "Yang Xian found 100,000 taels of silver in Li Bin's mansion. Are you related to this matter?"
"Back to my father, it was Li Bin who was selling official positions and titles, and it had nothing to do with the child!"
Li Bin said indifferently.
"What, selling official positions and titles?"
Li Shanchang couldn't help but glared at his eyes, and he could no longer control the anger in his heart. He looked gloomy and said, "Tell me quickly, what's going on selling official positions and titles?"
"Father, isn't Li Bin the Zuo Si Dui? He just happened to be in charge of all the engineering repairs in Nanjing. It happened that this year, the Ming Dynasty was newly established and many yamen were to be repaired, so Li Bin collected silver from it and arranged some projects for some merchant homes that dared to repair projects..."
Although he was a little distracted, under the pressure of Li Shanchang, Li Qi slowly explained.
But the more Li Shanchang heard it, his face became darker.
Since he started with Zhu Yuanzhang's uprising, the most important thing was to manage all the logistics matters of the entire army. Therefore, even though he had just said a few words, Li Shanchang had already understood it.
"Bastard, you are so brave and have no way of seeing the king!"
"Father, this is all done by Li Bin, and it has nothing to do with our family!" Li Bin replied with a hard head.
"Hmph, it has nothing to do with our family? No one supports Li Bin. He, Li Bin, dares to have such a courage to sell official positions and titles? Also, Li Bin himself collected more than 100,000 taels of silver, so there must be more silver in the future. Where did he go?"
Li Shanchang said anxiously.
"No matter where he went, it's not our family anyway. They will check it if they want!" Li Qi said.
"Damn it, do you know whose hands Li Bin fell into? With a great punishment, even if Li Bin is a slaughter, he will explain it in detail! At that time, our entire family will be destroyed by you!" Li Shanchang said quickly.
"Father, isn't Yang Xian an official in the Secretariat? Could it be that he still dares to go against his father?"
Seeing that Li Shanchang looked wrong, Li Qi asked quickly.
"Hmph, Yang Xian is from a prosecutor and his favorite thing to do is these things. Moreover, I also suspect that the emperor is already suspicious of me in this matter. As long as the emperor indulges a little, Yang Xian is not a fly that smells the crack of the egg and tries hard to penetrate!"
"Well, that's OK?"
After hearing this, Li Qi was also a little anxious.
"You will know how much silver you have in total in this matter?"
"Back to my father, there are a total of 650,000 taels!"
"What?"
Li Shanchang couldn't help but glared at Li Qi, as if he had known Li Qi for the first time.
"We didn't think about it. You still have such great ability! Tell me, how many of the dirty silver do you have left now?"
"Back to my father, there are still 600,000 taels!"
Li Qi hurriedly replied, "But, it's all silver bills!"
"In this way, there will be room for operation!"
Li Shanchang's eyes lit up and he murmured to himself.
Then, he whispered to Li Qi for a while.
"It's still my father's cleverness!"
After understanding, Li Qi looked full of admiration.
"Hmph, young man flatters."
Li Shanchang said with a calm face.
Then, he called the butler Li Wei in and whispered for a while.
"Don't worry, Master, I must explain this matter!"
As he said that, the butler hurriedly ran out.
At the same time, there was a thick stack of silver notes on your waist!
Nothing happened overnight!
The next day, Li Shanchang went to the morning court normally.
However, along the way, the eyes of the officials looking at Li Shanchang were full of weirdness.
Everyone in the court knew that Li Bin was Li Shanchang's confidant.
Unexpectedly, Yang Xian was searched for the house so soon, and so many dirty silver were found.
However, seeing this, Li Shanchang looked as usual. Unexpectedly, Yang Xian was searched so quickly and so many dirty silver were found.
