Chapter 430: Human and Physical Evidence
Taking a deep breath, Li Shimin said: "Is that 320,000 yuan from Cui's Qinghe family...?"
Li Shimin has an impression of this? And he is very impressed. The two Cui families took away more than 700,000 guan. And the Cui family in Qinghe won 320,000 guan.
Deng Jian shook his head: "No."
"Hmm?" Li Shimin looked suspicious.
Deng Jian said seriously: "In fact, it should be 327,522 stakes. Your Majesty, even if it is this final number, it is a huge fortune."
Li Shimin nodded silently? His eyes were on these IOUs? He couldn't move them away.
But the ministers were already bombed.
Sun Fujia looked at the IOU in the box vigilantly and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, Deng Jian led his people into the Cui family in Qinghe to seize money. Is this what a minister should do?"
Obviously... this can also add a crime to Deng Jian.
Sun Fujia said again: "What's more, how do you prove that this money is stolen money? He can make a hasty decision just by just a Hanlin?"
Deng Jian was unmoved. Seeing Li Shimin's gaze looking at him, facing this gaze, Deng Jian said without hesitation: "Of course I can't make a decision hastily, but... the Cui family in Qinghe has already pleaded guilty! Your Majesty, I have Cui Zhizheng's confession here, which tells the whole story of the whole case. From the beginning, when the Dou family's money was confiscated, a big mess came out..."
So many people in the hall took a breath again.
Now, many people stood up, and some people accused them angrily: "It's just a mess."
"Your Majesty, don't trust this person easily."
"It's simply insincere."
The scene was a bit noisy, but at this moment, Deng Jian suddenly shouted: "Stop talking!"
He shouted loudly, but he really calmed everyone down.
No one could imagine that a Hanlin dared to roar like this in front of the emperor, in front of so many people.
Deng Jian said righteously: "Are I talking or you talking? Is this case a person who is the imperial envoy investigated the case, or are you?"
“…”
Deng Jian then stared at Li Shimin and continued, "Your Majesty, when the Dou family's wealth was confiscated, there was a big trouble in Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice. Because there were too many people in charge, many officials were working on it and concealing a lot of wealth."
When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help looking at Sun Fujia.
Sun Fujia was still as old as a god, but he couldn't help feeling a little weak in his heart. Fortunately, he was still stable on his face and seemed calm and calm. He stroked his long beard and said lightly: "Everything is just a guess."
Deng Jian ignored him and continued to say to Li Shimin: "When the investigation was halfway through, the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple realized that they could not hide it. Many accounts could not match. Even if they were forced to make the accounts, the loopholes were also very obvious. Anyone who was interested in the court might see the clues. So some people began to panic. Not to mention other things, they just talked about those calligraphy and paintings, many calligraphy and paintings, were actually removed from the bag, and what was left were just fakes. But how could these fakes stand the investigation? Will families like the Dou family treasure so many fakes at home? The lid could not be covered, so someone thought of a solution. Since they could not withstand the investigation, they would involve many people in the court, and everyone made profits from it, and everyone had benefits. Then... no one would care about this matter."
Li Shimin listened to the light and darkness on his face.
Sun Fujia's face began to become a little gloomy.
Duan Lun, Zhang Liang, Hou Junjiren and others also looked even more ugly.
Deng Jian then said: "So some people started to thread needles and thread, involving many people, either by debt or by investing in it, and even... conspired with the convicted Dou family to stage a good show. It turned out that although the Dou family was only hundreds of thousands of yuan, after involving these people, the deficit became millions of millions."
When Li Shimin heard this, he felt a chill on his back. In order to cover up the hundreds of thousands of deficits, he created millions of deficits...
"Censor Deng, stop talking nonsense." Sun Fujia shouted.
Deng Jian glanced at him, his eyes were a little cold, and he said, "Nonsense? I came here today, just to fight for my life. If you think what I said is nonsense, then you should just talk nonsense."
He immediately said, "Although he occupied millions of guan, this is also of great benefit to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice. On the one hand, with so many property to conspire with others, many people can use this to attach these royal relatives and clans. On the other hand, they know that the more people involved, the less the court will be able to thoroughly investigate. I dare to ask, even if it is Fang Gong, he did not make any profit in it, if Your Majesty asked him to investigate it thoroughly, will Fang Gong continue to investigate? Not to mention anything else, just talk about Fang Gong's first wife, who came from the Lu family of Fanyang, and Fan Yang took 130,000 guan from it this time. There are also Zhang Liang, Duke of Yun, Zhang Liang, who is the censor. What kind of friendship does he have with Fang Gong? Is this what people know? Duke of Yun, Zhang Liang, has obtained 70,000 guan from it, and there are several treasures of calligraphy and painting."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was moved.
Fang Xuanling was stunned for a moment.
He really didn't get any benefits from it. Fang Xuanling was not a stupid person. He was unwilling to conquer the Dou family's muddy waters.
But to be honest, if Your Majesty asked him to investigate, as Deng Jian said, he really couldn't continue to investigate. I wouldn't say that he had so many relatives and friends involved in it, just talk about his wife. If I learned that he wanted to thoroughly investigate his wife, I would be afraid that he would be beaten to death first.
But this thing... cannot be put on the table to talk about it.
At this time, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but blush and didn't know how to respond.
"Evidence, where is the evidence?" Sun Fujia couldn't help but say, "After all this, it's your unreasonable guess."
"The evidence is here." Deng Jian first took a confession: "This confession is Cui Zhizheng's own statement. It all says the whole story of his collusion with Dali Temple. Your Majesty, please read it."
There is really evidence...
A eunuch who was waiting by his side hurriedly delivered the confession to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin took it and opened it, reading it without missing a word.
It would be fine if he didn't look at it. After seeing it, he, the emperor, couldn't help but be frightened. Although Cui Zhizheng did not involve others, he only said that someone in Dali Temple found him, so how could he conspire.
Of course... Cui Zhizheng is not stupid. Of course, he is not so stupid that he exposes his greedy side. He only says that he is being deceived by Dali Temple.
The more Li Shimin looked, the ugly his face became. At this time, he sneered: "What a bold man, will a Dali Temple Master dare to do this?"
In the confession, only a Dali Temple Chief involved was involved, and this person was threading needles and threads.
Deng Jian shook his head and said, "After receiving Cui Zhizheng's confession, I immediately rushed to Dali Temple and took down the Dali Temple Chief! He saw that the evidence was as strong as a mountain and he had no denying it, so he confessed to it, but... he claimed that he was instructed by Sun Fujia, the minister of Dali Temple."
Li Shimin's face turned pale, but his eyes had already fallen on Sun Fujia.
Sun Fujia was shocked. This was something he had unexpectedly expected.
He neither expected Cui Zhizheng to surrender nor did he expect that Deng Jian would go to Dali Temple quickly...
But... all this was too fast. Just when everyone was asking for an audience outside the Tai Chi Sect, Deng Jian kept on working hard and caught everyone off guard.
Deng Jian said loudly: "The people involved in this matter, from the Duke of the Kingdom, the Prince-in-law, and the surnames of various families, have more than 40 people. The total amount of money seized is roughly 4.2 million guan, and this... is just the result of my rough calculation. If other calligraphy, paintings and jewelry are included, it will be even more difficult to count. Your Majesty ordered me to recover the stolen goods. What I am temporarily recovering is only the stolen money from the Cui family in Qinghe. However, as long as Your Majesty gives me a month, the 4.2 million guan, and I will definitely recover it if I have a lot of money."
Li Shimin's tiger eyes contracted.
Four and two million coins!
This is my money...
But where did you think of...
More than forty people were involved, and obviously none of these more than forty people was a fuel-efficient lamp!
Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but look at Duan Lun, Zhang Liang, and Hou Junji.
These were originally invited to meet, but the indignant people were obviously a little short of breath at this time, and they all avoided Li Shimin's gaze.
Li Shimin said: "In this way, this matter also involves my Dali Temple Minister?"
Sun Fujia shivered and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this is wrong... I am wrong... I am honest and did not get any benefit from the Dou family. This must be a conspiracy between Dali Temple Chief Kong Ye and Deng Jian. They are in the same group... they must be a group... If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can immediately send someone to my house to check. I really didn't get any benefit. And... Deng Jian's words are so untrue. Yes, it's that Kong Ye, this Kong Ye must have Deng Jian's benefits... I..."
Li Shimin looked at Sun Fujia's panic.
In fact, Sun Fujia has a good reputation and is very honest. This is what many people say about him.
Now Sun Fujia asks His Majesty to send someone to his home to check it out, and it is obvious that he is very confident in his integrity and self-restraint.
only……
Among these ministers, they all looked at Sun Fujia with a strange look.
Chen Zhengtai sat silently on the side, and finally couldn't hold it in, saying, "Mr. Sun, this is not right. Deng Jian just said that he had taken a Dali Temple Chief. As far as I know, there are six temple chiefs in Dali Temple, ranked sixth. There are six Dali Temple Chiefs. Why didn't Deng Jian say which Dali Temple Chief was? Sun insisted that this Dali Temple Chief was called Kong Ye?
