Chen Muyan stood at the door, her expression became stern: "Zhang Dianshi, what crime did I commit? Do you want to search my house?"
Zhang Dianshi said: "I don't know anything about this. This is the order of the county magistrate, and I just follow orders. Ambassador Chen, I'm sorry."
Chen Muyan said: "Chen is an official, he is upright and has a clean sleeve. There is nothing shady in his house, so he is not afraid of you searching. However, if you have not convicted me for a day, you can't search my house. Although Chen's official position is insignificant. , I can't allow you to bully like this!"
Ma Hui couldn't hold back, and said to Zhang Dianshi: "Master Dianshi, what are you talking to him about, just tie him up, just search."
Zhang Dianshi was kind, waved his hands immediately, rushed up to two policemen, held Chen Muyan down, wiped his shoulders and folded his arms, and tied him up very quickly. Chen Muyan's angry eyes wanted to spit fire, just now he yelled and cursed a few times, Ma Hui found a rag from somewhere, and stuffed it into his mouth. All the arresters swarmed in and ransacked Chen's house...
…
Master Wang hurried to the county government office, where Ye Xiaotian was sitting opposite Huazhi County and talking. Master Wang coughed, stepped into the hall, and said: "I heard the sound of drums in the mansion, and I didn't know what happened to the county government, so I hurried over to have a look. Your magistrate, your magistrate, this is What's the matter?"
Hua Zhixian stood up and said, "Ah! Master Wang, please sit down quickly. This county has just heard about Ye Xiancheng."
Master Wang sat on the side, looked at Ye Xiaotian, Ye Xiaotian smiled lightly and said: "It happened in a hurry, after Ye received the news, he was afraid that if he leaked the news, the thieves would run away, so he had to cut it first and play it later, and ask the county magistrate to forgive him." …”
As Ye Xiaotian said, he continued what he was doing, but because Master Wang came late, he briefly said what he had said to Hua Qingfeng before. Master Wang listened to what he said, and said in a more emphatic tone: "Master Xiancheng, you are reckless!"
Ye Xiaotian blinked at him, and said with a smile: "Ye is a reckless person. Since he became an official, he has been doing self-reflection three times a day, cultivating his mind and nature, and feels that he is much more stable than before. But he doesn't know that Master Wang What do you mean by recklessness?"
Master Wang said displeasedly: "Can the account books of Moon Bay Shipping Co., Ltd. be used as evidence? It's just the account books of a private car dealership. Who will guarantee its reliability?"
Ye Xiaotian rubbed his chin, smiled and said: "Then, according to the king's bookkeeper, we should use the account books of the tax office as the standard? That is an official accountant, and there is a big seal of the tax department on the account book, and there is a seal on the bottom." Attached are all kinds of documents. Of course they are the most credible!"
Ye Xiaotian's smile suddenly faded, and he said in a deep voice: "It's a pity, if they want to fake it, even if they stamp a hundred big seals, it will still be fake. Moon Bay Shipping Company is only for ferrying goods, the purpose of keeping accounts One is to pay wages to the boatmen and laborers according to the amount, and the other is to facilitate the statistics of their daily income and expenditure without any other conflicts of interest. Therefore, although it is the account books of the shipping company, it is really more than our official account books! "
Master Wang stared at him coldly and said: "Lord Ye, the matter of judicial punishment and prison is your duty. I don't want to say too much, but I am an official in the same government, and I belong to a colleague. Seeing that you are so reckless, as a senior It’s better not to remind you. You must know that officials are determined to be corrupt based on the account books of a shipping company. Once you can’t produce real evidence later, there is no way to stop!”
Ye Xiaotian picked up the tea as if nothing had happened, blew on the tea leaves, and said, "Do you want real evidence? My people are searching their homes, I don't believe there is no real evidence!"
As soon as these words came out, Hua Qingfeng and Master Wang stood up in shock, Hua Qingfeng was in a hurry, and the sleeve of his robe knocked down a cup of tea. The two turned pale in shock, Hua Qingfeng rushed to ask: "What? Ye Xiancheng, you... you sent someone to raid their house?"
Ye Xiaotian said slowly: "Why are you two adults so surprised? Ye is not copying the house, but searching the house."
Hua Qingfeng paused and said: "That's not the same! You... you... Oh, my Master Ye, this time, you are really reckless, too reckless."
Ye Xiaotian looked at Hua Qingfeng with interesting eyes, and then turned to Master Wang.
Master Wang sneered, and shouted in a deep voice: "Ye Xiancheng, you are so majestic. You dare to copy the houses of your colleagues before you are convicted! If you just got some evidence and suspect them of corruption, please invite them to come here." There was nothing wrong with cooperating with the investigation. But now you are just relying on some unsubstantiated evidence to order the arrest of people, and even ransack their homes. Now it is not a question of whether you are reckless or not. Know the law and break the law!"
Ye Xiaotian rolled his eyes at the sky, and lazily said: "It must be legal? It's easy to handle... Ye can find a few people at any time, claiming to be robbed and stolen, and witnessed it with his own eyes, the robber is Ye who wants to arrest The few people who are to be searched, so Ye Mou arrests people and ransacks the house, is it justified?"
Hua Qingfeng became dizzy when he heard these words. Master Wang has seen domineering, arrogant, cowardly, and cunning officials, but he has never seen such a rogue official. He also trembled at Ye Xiaotian's words: "Ye County Cheng! You... you are an official of the imperial court, you can say such a thing, and you are in this court! What is justice in the king's law, what is it in your heart!"
"Snapped!"
Ye Xiaotian gave the teacup a heavy meal on the table, and stood up suddenly: "The king's law is fair? Master Wang, you talk about the king's law with Ye Mou? Ye Mou suppressed bandits and bandits, Jing Fang's law and order, and Gaoshan took water to solve the two problems." When the village was in a drought, and when he worked hard and devoted himself to the imperial court, Yemou became a prisoner and was sent to Nanjing City after a document was issued. May I ask, was Yemou convicted at that time?"
Master Wang was startled, and said: "This... this..."
Ye Xiaotian said: "At that time, Ye was an official historian, an official appointed by the imperial court! As a candidate, he should still retain the treatment of an official, so why was he sent to Nanjing in a prison car? The king's law is fair? The official word has two mouths, the power is great, and the law is great. It just depends on what he wants! Now that you are teaching me the Fa, Ye Mou can only hehe... "
Master Wang's old face was flushed with anger, pointing at Ye Xiaotian, trembling all over, unable to speak a word.
Hua Qingfeng also felt that Ye Xiaotian would make such a big fuss with some pretentious evidence, and he might get the matter out of hand, so he couldn't help but said: "Ye Xiancheng, you are so aggressive, if you can't get any evidence, what will happen then?" end?"
Ye Xiaotian sat down slowly, held the teacup in his hands again, was silent for a while, and said leisurely: "As the saying goes: the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change, Ye is such a person! Anyone who wants to compete with me, then let's go If the fish doesn't die, the net will break!"
…
Chen Muyan's house is not big, so I searched inside and out, but didn't find many valuable things. Chen Muyan watched them search inside and out with a sneer all over her face.
"My lord, nothing."
"My lord, no."
Zhang Dianshi was slightly sweaty when he heard the reports one by one.
Ma Hui wandered around, even turned over the firewood room, and turned back to Chen Muyan's study without giving up. Chen Muyan's study was not big, and there were no valuable utensils. Find a place to hide things.
Ma Hui patted the wall, and tried several places in succession. Hearing that the voice was solid, Ma Hui frowned secretly. Ye Xiancheng did not follow the rules, and highlighted his strange tricks, because it would be difficult to solve the case if he handled the case according to normal judicial procedures. During this process, the latent power hidden deep in Hu County can wipe out all criminal evidence Nothing left.
But Ye Xiaotian did this, and the price is that if he fails, his own future will be on the line. It doesn't matter how many methods he has in handling cases that are not in line with the king's law. The important thing is whether the result can verify his previous speculation. At this time, success or failure On heroes.
Ye Xiaotian dared to take this risk because judging from the various clues he had already grasped, he had already determined that these people had problems, but if he couldn't find evidence, it would be meaningless. Chen Muyan is the tax ambassador, if he is a member of the smuggling group, it is impossible not to get a lot of benefits. If he is clean and honest, it will prove that all Ye Xiaotian's inferences are wrong. If that's the case, then it's all over!
Thinking of the pros and cons, Ma Hui stomped his feet bitterly. He could imagine what would happen to those who followed Ye Xiancheng once Ye Xiancheng fell. As soon as he stomped his foot down, Ma Hui suddenly trembled, and the movement under his feet seemed a little hollow.
He hurriedly lowered his head to look at the ground, at this time he was sitting behind the desk, the grand master's chair had been used for many years, the armrest was rubbed extremely brightly. Ma Hui stomped on the ground again. There was nothing unusual about the green brick ground, but the sound was indeed a little hollow.
Ma Hui immediately lay down on the ground like a hunting dog, observed carefully for a long time, then turned his head and shouted: "Come on, lift this desk away!"
Starting from the base of the wall, pieces of blue bricks were pried open and stacked aside. Below it was a square hole that sank less than half a foot. It was covered with a wooden board. When it was lifted, it was a dark hole entrance. . At this moment, a thinner policeman had already jumped in, and the torch shone inside.
The number of silver ingots on the floor of the study is increasing, and the white snowflake silver that has just been dug out has been completely covered by the black silver ingots. Chen Muyan looked at the money they brought out, her face was ashen, her legs shook like chaff for a long time, and finally her body tilted, and she collapsed on the ground.
Zhang Dianshi looked at the dark and dull silver ingots, which were discolored because they had been placed in the cellar for too long, and then looked at the simple and crude parts in the study room, puzzled: "These silver ingots are all moldy, It is obvious that Ambassador Chen only saves money and does not spend it. He cannot eat meat or vegetables, lives in a shabby house, has no son, only a daughter, and is greedy for so much money. What is he trying to do? It is really confusing... "
