Just as the nine princes were deep in thought, a person stepped out from the crowd.
This person was none other than Shi Jigang, the commander of the Brocade Guard.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report.”
"I want to impeach the Minister of Revenue He Shen.”
"He Shen took bribes and embezzled the national treasury. His personal property was as much as five times the national treasury's annual income.”
Ji Gang's sudden opening was like throwing a thunderbolt into the court, making everyone unable to react in time.
Firstly, most of the people did not expect Ji Gang to suddenly open fire. Moreover, it was an impeachment of an important official like He Shen, catching them off guard.
Secondly, most of the people were shocked. No one would have thought that He Shen's family fortune was so much.
One had to know that the Great Zhou Empire's annual treasury income was about eighty million taels of silver.
And He Shen's assets were actually five times the annual income of the national treasury. Didn't that mean that there were more than 400 million taels?
This was definitely a shocking number.
Hearing that Ji Gang dared to impeach him and even knew his background, He Shen's eyes couldn't help but flash with panic.
"You…You're slandering me.”
"Your Majesty is wise. I have always been loyal to my duty and dare not slack off in the slightest.”
"Ji Gang is slandering me. He has evil intentions.”
He Shen anxiously defended himself.
However, no matter how she listened to his explanation, it sounded a little lacking in confidence.
Ji Hao didn't respond to this.
He only felt a little emotional in his heart. He Shen's ability to accumulate wealth was indeed amazing.
In his previous life, He Shen's assets were equivalent to fifteen years of the national treasury's income.
Who would have thought that until now, He Shen's power and corruption were far inferior to his previous life's history. He actually managed to obtain more than five times the national treasury's income.
Just this ability to accumulate wealth was enough to show his talent.
At the same time, he was extremely happy.
In this chaotic world, money was needed everywhere.
Now that he had killed the fat pig, he did not have to worry about money for the time being.
Now that He Shen had fallen, he had to eat his fill.
From this point of view, he was grateful to He Shen for contributing so much money to him.
…
Of course, Ji Hao wouldn't show his joy.
"Dear ministers, what do you think of Ji Gang's impeachment of Heshen?”
He looked coldly at the officials below, his voice indescribably cold.
At this moment, how could Cai Jing and the others not feel that something was wrong?
After sensing that something was wrong, they wanted to protect He Shen. After all, they would all suffer if they were to suffer.
But the key was that He Shen had too much property, so much that it made them shocked.
If it was just a small amount, they could use all kinds of legal income to defend Heshen.
But now, this was more than five times the wealth of the treasury.
He wasn't the richest businessman in the world. What kind of legal income could reach such a terrifying amount?
If Ji Gang really had real evidence, He Shen would definitely not be able to keep it.
Thinking of this, they could not help but feel a little confused.
They weren't worried about Heshen, they were worried about themselves.
If He Shen fell, who knew if he would be next?
They were caught off guard and panicked. For a moment, they did not know how to deal with it.
"
Your Majesty, this number is too shocking. It's better to be cautious.”
Cai Jing stammered for a long time before he could say such a sentence.
"Minister Cai is right. This kind of thing needs to be based on real evidence. Otherwise, it will be slander.”
Yan Song echoed.
In a short period of time, they couldn't think of any way to absolve Heshen. They could only take a gamble. Ji Gang didn't have any real evidence.
Unfortunately, they were destined to be disappointed today.
"Your Majesty, before I came, I had already raided Heshen's house.”
"This official has a rough list of He Shen's assets. The exact amount is much more than what this official said.”
While Cai Jing and Yan Song were still thinking about protecting He Shen, Ji Gang once again threw a depth bomb, setting off a monstrous wave.
The Jinyiwei actually raided He Shen's house without knowing it?
This was too terrifying!
When He Shen heard that his home had been raided, his face turned ashen.
He knew that he was doomed after he had the list of his assets.
He did not expect that he had worked so hard to get so much property. In the end, before he could even enjoy it, it was all swept away.
He had worked hard all his life. Whether it was the property that he had embezzled or not, it was all for the sake of others.
