Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

"I would like to report the Minister of Revenue Pei Kunfu for embezzling money, accepting bribes, misappropriating tax silver, colluding with officials of the inner treasury, and misappropriating and stealing gold and silver from the national treasury."

Lord Yu held a stack of evidence in his hand and exposed Pei Kunfu to His Majesty.

He did not calculate the exact amount, but he had solid evidence on hand.

Pei Kunfu was indeed not clean, but since he was not an official of the Dali Temple, it was difficult for him to determine the exact number of times he had done it and how much money was involved.

His Majesty was furious and showed the evidence to Pei Kunfu. Although Pei Kunfu denied and refuted again and again, Lord Yu had "done his homework" and the witnesses and evidence were linked together, so his denial was invalid.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Pei Kunfu cursed Lord Yu: "The people who came to the study to force me were actually sent by you? You are such a despicable villain, you are even more hateful than the people from the Imperial City Bureau!"

Leng Luojun's face darkened when he was named, and he raised the pile of evidence in his hand: "Your Majesty, I also want to impeach Lord Pei!"

Lord Yu has evidence in his hands and is very confident.

He said with a serious face, "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself."

Pei Kunfu was able to become a second-rank official, so naturally he would not be confused.

The Censorate is a group of troublesome mad dogs who won't let go once they bite, not to mention there is solid evidence.

What they did cannot withstand further investigation. If he does not admit it quickly, not only will he be unable to escape, but Cheng Engong and his gang behind him will also be unable to escape.

As long as Duke Cheng'en and his party are around, the nine clans of the Pei family will be left with nothing.

Now I have to take all the blame and die alone. Perhaps I can save my children and grandchildren, and my entire clan. Otherwise, no one will be saved.

"Your Majesty, I know my crime..." He cried with tears and snot.

Emperor Hui did not wait for him to defend himself, and shouted angrily: "Put Pei Kunfu in jail and hand him over to the Dali Temple for a strict trial."

The Ministry of Revenue, that is your Majesty's purse. From now on, it is back in your Majesty's hands.

Pei Kunfu was able to rise to the position of a second-rank official, becoming the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and had wide-ranging connections.

Moreover, Emperor Hui did not give him the opportunity to take the blame alone this time and investigated the matter thoroughly.

Corruption and bribery, embezzlement of taxes and silver, collusion with treasury officials, misappropriation and theft of gold and silver from the national treasury... these activities cannot be accomplished by one person.

Therefore, this time the main focus was on clearing out the officials of all ranks in the Ministry of Revenue, and the other three departments were also cleared together.

More than one hundred people were dismounted, and eighteen people above the fifth rank were implicated.

All the officials in the inner treasury from top to bottom were either killed, imprisoned or exiled. They were all replaced.

The Cabinet will supervise the entire process.

The Ministry of Personnel was busy with the appointment and dismissal of officials.

The Dali Temple was busy trying the case and making a final decision.

The Imperial City Bureau worked overtime day and night, confiscating properties, beheadings, and exiles!

The court was thoroughly cleansed.

His Majesty was pleased with Lord Yu's meritorious service and praised him verbally, and also bestowed upon him many gold, silver and treasures.

He said emotionally: "I know that it is not easy to be in the Censorate. Not only are they incorruptible, but they also do things that offend people. But you are all loyal and have served as my eyes and ears."

Everyone in the Censorate was crying. On one hand, they were crying for the emperor being so considerate of them, and on the other hand, they were crying for the damn Lord Yu. How could he be so accurate in every impeachment he made?

The Dali Temple used strong means to force Pei Kunfu to admit to the crimes he had confessed and those he had denied.

His hope of dying alone did not come true. He, his five sons, and four brothers were all beheaded, and all his uncles, nephews, and nieces were exiled three thousand miles away.

Before being exiled, Leng Luo led the team to search the house!

More than 10 million taels of gold and silver, as well as countless jewels, calligraphy and paintings, were seized from the Shangshu Mansion and its villas.

During the house search, it was also discovered that Pei Shangshu was "prepared for danger in times of peace" and "a cunning rabbit has three burrows". He had his own retreat routes in Jiangnan, Chang'an County and other places.

He not only had wives and concubines, but also mistresses, and every place was his treasure trove.

Leng Luo sent people to search each "cave" thoroughly, and unexpectedly found another 20 million taels/strings of gold and silver, as well as several harems of children from other wives.

This second-rank official alone was able to confiscate wealth comparable to that of the national treasury, which made Emperor Hui very angry.

A Minister of Revenue can buy Daqian twice.

copy!

Copy it thoroughly!

The people from the Imperial City Bureau were so angry when they searched the house! Such a corrupt official had been under their noses for so many years, and they, the people from the Imperial City Bureau, were actually lagging behind a censor. This was simply intolerable!

The men in Pei Shangshu's mansion were shackled and exiled, the women were confiscated and demoted to slavery, and some of the concubines and unmarried women were selected by the Jiaofangsi, and the rest were sold.

When the common people heard that Minister Pei had actually seized 30 million in gold and silver, as well as countless other valuable treasures, during the confiscation of his property, they were furious.

The Pei clan's exile team was waiting on the street. Encouraged by the government, they threw eggs, vegetable leaves, and spit...

The curses continued incessantly, and continued for ten miles out of the city. The entire Pei family was in a state of extreme distress both physically and mentally.

As for the women, it was even worse.

Pei Yuan stood on the street, and he and Tao Yin looked at the people from the Shangshu Mansion waiting for the price, with mocking expressions on their faces.

Live it!

Fortunately, she broke off her engagement with Pei Kunfu, otherwise, she would have been sent to the Jiaofang Bureau or tied up in a pimping shop to be picked by anyone.

A few months ago, Pei Yue was scolded in the street. When she returned to the Shangshu Mansion that day, she proposed to break off the engagement with Pei Kunfu.

How could Pei Kunfu ask her to break off the engagement?

The daughter of the Shangshu Mansion must either die or get married. It is impossible to sever the relationship.

Minister Pei was ruthless, and Madam Pei was even more ruthless: "Come here, beat this rebellious girl to death and throw her into a mass grave."

She thought her mother hated her and would kick her out of the house and leave her to fend for herself, but she didn't expect that she would actually beat her to death.

Seeing that the young lady was about to be beaten to death, Tao Yin thought of asking Madam Gu for help.

He secretly ran away and went to Qingpu Garden, where he kowtowed desperately to beg for mercy from Zhaozhao, until his head was covered in blood.

"Madam, please save my young lady. As long as you save her, I will be loyal to you for the rest of my life. No, I and my young lady will be loyal to you for the rest of our lives."

Xie Zhaozhao did not express his opinion, but asked, "How will you live after you leave the mansion?"

"The young lady has a farm outside the city, and the master and the mistress don't know about it. We will live on our own in the future."

That Zhuangzi was the dowry that the old lady (Pei Yuan's grandmother) secretly gave to Pei Yuan before her death.

"You go to the farm and wait first!" Xie Zhaozhao asked Yuanyuan to send her out.

Pei Shangshu was still the Shangshu at that time, and Xie Zhaozhao would definitely not do such a thing to bring hatred to Gu Shaoyu openly.

Pei Yuan, who was beaten to death, was thrown into the yard to die. Less than half an hour later, the servant reported to Madam Pei in panic: "The eldest lady is missing!"

Mrs. Pei was extremely angry. This shameless bitch was probably having someone else outside.

She didn't dare tell Pei Kunfu the truth and kept it a secret.

But when Pei Kunfu returned home from court that day, as soon as he entered the study, a masked man put a knife to his neck.

He was forced to write a letter of severance of his relationship with Pei Yuan.

Even more damning was that the masked man searched everywhere in his study and found a box of banknotes and an account book, and told him: "If you dare to make a fuss, the eldest lady will hand this account book over to the court."

Pei Kunfu was so angry that he was fuming. If he could turn back time, he would definitely beat Pei Yuan to death. He would never have the slightest bit of kindness to let her "fend for herself".

Pei Yuan, who was rescued, received a letter of severance of engagement and half a box of silver notes, five thousand taels!

But she didn't expect that since Xie Zhaozhao asked Bei Chen to do everything he could to enter Pei Kunfu's study, it must be not just to get the "letter of severance of engagement" and the banknotes, but more importantly, the evidence of the crime.

From that day on, Pei Kunfu and Madam Pei spent a lot of money, drilled holes in walls, and dug three feet into the ground to find Pei Yuan and kill her.
