"Misappropriating military pay without permission is punishable by beheading!"
Even if Lu Qingyuan has eight heads, he still dare not agree to it at this time.
"It doesn't matter, let's wait and see whether your lord admits it or not. Let's continue talking about it! Two months ago, your lord took all his belongings, a total of 56,000 guan, and only relied on licorice trading. I made a living profit of 130,000 yuan, and then, taking advantage of the collapse in the price of raw lacquer, I united with several major merchants and began to buy land outside Panyu City! Do you still remember it, sir?"
Mei Changlin asked again.
"You are slandering! Do you have any evidence?"
The cold sweat on Lu Qingyuan's back had already wet all his clothes.
He did these things extremely secretly, and all of them were done through servants at home.
But I didn¡¯t expect that at this time, Mei Changlin would shake them apart one by one in the court like a treasure trove.
"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Let's talk about the next thing. On the fifth day of last month, your luck was indeed very good. Your old housekeeper and his maids and servants had more than 300 people. Hao We went out on a grand treasure hunt, and finally dug up a fortune worth 100,000 pieces of jewelry on the barren hills south of the city. You should be impressed by this, right?"
"So what if I have an impression? There are many people hunting for treasures in Yucheng. Is it a crime to hunt for treasures?"
Lu Qingyuan suddenly started sweating more on his head, but fortunately, this matter was not illegal.
"Treasure hunting is of course not sinful, but why did someone see that just the night before you dug out the treasure, someone pulled more than a dozen carriages from your back house? And the place where these carriages finally stopped was you The location of the treasure hunt! My lord, are you trying to tell me that you are a prophet and know that there is a treasure there, so you sent a carriage to protect it?"
When Mei Changlin said this, his face was already full of sneer.
"I just discovered in advance that there was something down there, so I sent a few carriages there. Is there anything wrong with this?"
Lu Qingyuan gritted his teeth and continued.
"If that's the case, of course there's nothing wrong with it, but I'm really curious, why are the ones others dig out only gold, silver, and copper coins, but what you dig out actually contains fine jewelry?"
"Mei Changlin, are you questioning me?"
The expression on Lu Qingyuan's face suddenly changed. However, although he now looked stern and ruthless, his appearance clearly did not scare Mei Changlin.
"Yes, I am questioning you! Please answer truthfully!"
Mei Changlin sneered, and then continued.
"I have nothing to say!"
The corners of Lu Qingyuan's mouth twitched, and then he gritted his teeth and said.
"You have nothing to say? Then let me tell you. My lord, taking advantage of your position, you directly gave the purchase of military rations to the Wang family in the south of the city with a wave of your hand, and then took a lot of money from them. You want to pay a bribe to bury all these things on Nanshan Mountain, and then dig them out again while the trend of treasure hunting is taking place. You think you are doing all this without anyone noticing, do you really think that everyone in the world is a fool?"
"Mei Changlin, what evidence do you have? I am the chief minister of the Prime Minister's Office, and I am not a softie that you can manipulate at will!"
Lu Qingyuan's hands began to tremble continuously.
Mei Changlin¡¯s words were so detailed, it was as if he had seen everything with his own eyes.
"It seems that you are refusing to admit it, but it doesn't matter. After all, you are the chief minister of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I really can't do anything to you, but I think your accountant has been recruited by this time!"
While Mei Changlin was speaking, someone had already handed over a confession with blood-red handprints.
"Master Lu, do you want me to continue?"
Mei Changlin smiled, then threw the confession on the ground
"Mei Changlin!"
"I'm here. Mr. Lu, there is something about your hoarding. I don't need to go on about it, right? In less than half a month, I actually hoarded 80,000 shi of food in my hands. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, It¡¯s really a good thing!¡±
"What on earth do you want to do?"
Lu Qingyuan's expression became ferocious.
"Don't you know what I want to do? As a court lieutenant, I am naturally responsible for supervising lawlessness. Mr. Lu, you embezzled military pay, corrupted the law, hoarded money, and knew the law and violated the law with an additional one level. According to the law, you shouldThe punishment was to be broken into pieces and the family property confiscated! "
When he heard Mei Changlin say this, Lu Qingyuan immediately understood that this old boy was targeting him
After talking for a long time, this guy actually wanted to operate on himself!
"Mr. Mei, you must not have forgotten, I am from the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
Lu Qingyuan's eyelids kept twitching and his body was shaking violently. At this time, he could only take out the life-saving straw from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Then according to what you said, did the Prime Minister instruct you to do it? As the long history of the Prime Minister's Office, you did not want to serve the country when the national crisis hit, but actually took the lead in the hoarding business. You are really loyal and patriotic! "
Mei Changlin said disdainfully.
"you!"
His few simple words really stripped away the relationship between Lu Qingyuan and the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Mei Changlin certainly understands this matter in his heart, and the Lu family must be involved behind it, but at this time, his authority can only reach Lu Qingyuan's level.
If it goes up any further, it¡¯s not something he can get involved with now
"Very good, I admit defeat today, but you don't think that these 80,000 shi of food will be so easy to get, right?"
Lu Qingyuan gritted his teeth and said.
"You threaten me?"
Mei Changlin sneered.
He is already rushing to put it on the shelves. Of course he knows that there is actually a part of Lu Haowen in these grains.
But now he can only pretend to be confused and put all the problems on Lu Qingyuan.
Then, confiscate all the food as stolen goods, and the rest will be much easier to handle!
"Hahahaha, what a Mei Changlin! Then let's see who lives longer!"
Seeing Mei Changlin's nonchalant look, Lu Qingyuan suddenly realized that this old guy seemed to be using himself to top the tank.
"Since I can sit in the position of Tingwei, you should think about what the Prime Minister will do. Mr. Lu, if you cooperate a little, you may be able to leave a way for your family to survive. If you don't cooperate, If so, don¡¯t blame me for being cruel!¡±
After Mei Changlin finished speaking, he also let out a long breath. Only he understood in his heart.
From now on, even if the fire is really lit, I don¡¯t know how many people in South Vietnam will be burned to death (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
