Chapter 652: Ye Hua, you hurt the old man a lot
Chai Rong was silent for a long time facing Li Gu's mansion...... What a means this old man has, he even concealed the embroidered messenger, and the figures in the court and the central government either thought that he was honest and honest, or thought that he was pretending to be high, but no matter who he was, he couldn't imagine that this old man actually used ginseng as firewood to cook porridge for himself.
A bowl of seemingly ordinary white porridge can only be boiled out with thousands of ginseng!
He is willing to lose!
Chai Rong angrily pointed at everything in the Li Mansion, his eyes were on fire, "Wait and listen, this mansion is not allowed to move a single grass or tree, I want all the officials in Beijing to come and take a look!" Look at this hypocritical old puppet clearly. No matter how deep it is hidden, as long as it is a corrupt official, the legal net will be restored, and it will not be leaked! ”
After Chai Rong finished speaking, he immediately asked Li Gu to be put in prison, and another guard and embroidered messenger were transferred to enter Li Gu's mansion.
After the mansion was controlled, people gradually discovered some mechanisms, such as a secret room under the flower room, and after they opened it, they dragged out a family member with his hands and feet tied.
He was the kid who carried the bamboo basket out of the ginseng at that time, because the time was still short, he was not in any condition, but in the cold and damp secret room, he was frightened into a trance, and he was incontinent.
When I dragged it out, I kept shouting for help.
The guards simply opened the secret room, and only then did they realize that there were many bones in the secret room, adding up to dozens of corpses.
All of them are Li Gu's subordinates, some are family members, and some are people who do things, except for mistakes, they will be locked in the secret room and starve to death, and over time, they will accumulate so much!
And that wasn't all, as they continued their search, they found several secret passages that led to neighboring houses.
Immediately lock it down and dig it up.
There were five courtyards, all hollowed out in the ground, and there was nothing left in four of them, and there was only one left, from which the guards carried out more than fifty boxes.
In broad daylight, when you open it, you almost blinded people's eyes!
All of them are gold and silver, neat and tidy large gold bricks, silver bars, silver cakes, ingots...... According to conservative estimates, there are as many as one million taels.
How much money does his grandmother's, Li Gu have?
Not to mention that the emperor was surprised, even all the ministers who had been with Li Gu's colleagues for many years were dumbfounded.
Take Wei Renpu as an example, he also has money, firstly, the imperial court gave the prime minister a good salary, and secondly, there are additional rewards, a few years ago, Wei Renpu bought some war bonds.
Over the years, he has accumulated 200,000 pieces of family property.
Lao Wei is still pondering, with his worth, it is enough to spend several lifetimes.
But after seeing Li Gu's family property, he was completely stunned!
"Grandma's, this old thing is crazy!"
What are you doing with so much money at a lot of age? Could it be that after you die, you want to get yourself a golden house?
"The people's hearts are insufficient, and they are like this!"
Wei Renpu said: "Li Gu should be killed!" ”
"Don't just kill! You should find out where so much money came from! Fan Zhen took a sip hard, a few years ago he was demoted to Yecheng, and later returned to Beijing to take charge of the ministry, and hundreds of officials were killed and killed, all in the hands of Fan Zhen.
There are so many people who want to take the road of Tianguanmen, it is like a carp crossing the river.
As long as Fan Zhen crooked his mouth slightly, there were countless people who came to the door with gold and silver treasures to ask for officials.
However, Lao Fan was frightened, he didn't want to be demoted again, so Fan Zhen was extra careful, and even his nephew Fan Gao was not allowed to enter the mansion to see him.
Fan is cautious, holding the egg across the river...... Li Gu also caused trouble, and it was much more serious than Fan Qian, the deficit of tens of millions of yuan, although it was not opened, but he wrote an IOU to the Son of Heaven, it was Ye Hua who helped, and Li Gu paid off the debt, otherwise the Li family would have to work for Chai Rong for generations to pay back!
It's only been a few years of hard work, and Li Gu not only didn't learn a lesson, but instead made a lot of money!
How the hell did he do it?
Could it be that Li Xianggong has learned a secret technique that turns stones into gold, and can make countless fortunes out of thin air?
How else can you get so much money?
The sudden change interrupted Ye Hua's plan, he wanted to interrogate Fei step by step, take out the inside story of the smuggling of Shu and Da Zhou from her mouth, and then go down the vine to catch the officials involved in the case.
Contrary to his expectations, Li Gu did such a terrifying thing, and he blew himself up first.
There was no choice but to stop the interrogation.
The five ministers got together and held a short meeting, let's judge Li Gu first!
Han Xizai's face was pale, his fists were stained with blood, and he gritted his teeth helplessly, "Master Hou, I'm afraid that this case is going to be avoided by the old man." "Everyone knows that Li Gu and Han Xizai are good friends and have been friends for decades.
Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, Han Xizai never dreamed that old friends would become like this, throughout the ages, there are many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, like him, I'm afraid it's rare!
"If those warehouses where money is hidden are full, Li Xianggong will be the number one corrupt official in a thousand years! That's amazing! Shen Yilun gritted his teeth, because he used to respect Li Gu very much, he said when he met people, he should learn from Li Xianggong as an official, and he didn't study hard, otherwise his head would have moved.
"Master Hou, why did Li Gu accumulate countless wealth, and how did he do it? Is it related to the smuggling of Shu? Shen Yilun said curiously.
Ye Hua bowed, "Most likely, the princes will go to seal the ticket numbers of the household department and other commercial houses related to Li Gu first, sort out the files, and I'll talk to Li Gu." ”
Wei Renpu smiled, "Hou Ye is naturally invincible, but Li Gu is cunning, so we must prevent him from talking nonsense and implicating the innocent!" ”
"I know!" Ye Hua smiled meaningfully, even if Li Gu didn't talk nonsense, this case would become the biggest greedy ink giant in the history of the Great Zhou, and it would even be passed down through the ages!
Ye Hua didn't rush to interrogate Li Gu, he returned to the mansion first, slept well, recuperated his spirits, and then went to deal with the old thing.
The next day, Ye Hua sat for another morning, and after noon, he carried a food box and came to the prison slowly.
Li Gu's big case of greedy ink alarmed the government and the opposition, everyone gritted their teeth and hated it, and everyone was afraid that Li Gu would die, so the prison attached great importance to it and gave him a separate room, clean and tidy, there was nothing angular in the room, even the bowl was wooden, for fear that he would commit suicide in it.
Ever since he was in the cell, Li Gu sat still, not moving, occasionally rolling his eyes, indicating that he was still alive. Yesterday, he drank a bowl of white porridge, and the water and rice did not touch his lips for more than a day, and his stomach cramped uncomfortably, and Li Gu was very painful.
At this moment, Li Gu suddenly smelled a smell of rice, looked up, and found that Ye Hua was coming, and took out a bowl of white porridge and two bowls of side dishes from the food box.
"Li Xianggong, how do you taste it!"
Li Gu hurriedly took it, brushed his gray hair, and drank it in a big gulp.
After a while, only a small half of a bowl of porridge remained, and he took a little side dish and put it in his mouth, it was so fragrant!
Li Gu closed his eyes and reminisced about the wonderful taste, which was really wonderful!
Li Gu laughed at himself, "Sure enough, compared to Master Hou, the old man is shallow and doesn't know too many things...... Take this bowl of porridge as an example, I boiled it with ginseng, and the taste is not as good! Master Hou, what secret recipe did you use? ”
"Hahaha!"
Ye Hua shook his head with a smile, "Li Xianggong, I'm useless." ”
"Nonsense!" Li Gu glared at him and blamed: "I'm going to die, why are you lying to me?" It's useless, how can it be so delicious if it's useless? ”
His bulging cheeks were very unconvinced.
Ye Hua said with a smile: "If you want to say that this porridge is delicious, it's just that the heat has arrived, and I will prepare it for you from the fifth watch, and boil it with your heart!" As for your ginseng porridge, I haven't tasted it, but if you want to use ginseng as firewood, can the people below be willing to use it so much! Most of them are just cooked, so they will be sent to you, and the rest of the ginseng will be taken outside the house and sold for a lot of money! ”
Ye Hua turned around and took out a tea egg from the food box and stuffed it to Li Gu, "Think about it, is this the truth?" ”
Li Gu was stunned for a long time, and suddenly shook his head with a wry smile, full of pain and desolation...... Who says no, what kind of firewood can be used across the pot?
Every time I drank porridge, the rice grains were very hard, and the rabbit cubs told themselves that it was the vitality of ginseng that entered the rice and could not disperse!
Fart!
It's all nonsense!
It's ridiculous that I would believe such nonsense!
No wonder there is a defeat today!
Li Gu sighed, he sprinkled all his anger in the bowl, the porridge was drunk, the vegetables were gone, and the tea and eggs were also eaten in three bites, he was cautious, for fear of wasting a single ...... If you eat one less meal, you just don't know if you haven't had an afterlife, can you still eat a bowl of white porridge?
Li Gu suddenly hugged his head and cried, tears dripping all over his chest, soaking his sleeves.
"Master Hou, the old man will say everything, tell you everything, you, can you save my life like last time! I, I can collect money for the saints! Is 10 million taels enough? Twenty million, thirty million? ”
Li Gu seemed to be crazy, and kept increasing, "Really, I have too many ways...... Master Hou, you can't do it, you are too honest, there are some things you don't dare to do, but I don't care! See, in just a few years, I've gotten so much money! Isn't that lady of yours known as the goddess of wealth? Her little means are far worse than the old man! ”
Li Gu grabbed Ye Hua's sleeve tightly, his eyes were big, and his eyes were extremely bright, "I'm still useful, you tell the sage, it's only three things, let him give me another chance, just once!" I'm old, I won't be greedy for money anymore, and every copper I earn will be dedicated to Your Majesty to enrich the treasury, really! I, I could swear to God! ”
In the face of Li Xianggong's various requests, Ye Hua slowly pulled back his sleeves and dusted off the dust that did not exist, he smiled lightly at Li Gu, and only said two words: "It's late!" ”
Li Gu was stunned, the last glimmer of hope was gone, he suddenly cried loudly, pointed at Ye Hua, and scolded: "It's all you, you taught me the way to make money, and you made me pay 10 million yuan within a year!" It's only been a year! The old man never thought that he could get so much money so easily...... You, it's all your fault, it's you who hurt the old man a lot!! ”
