In his heart, he sighed with emotion,"Three years of Qing magistrate 100,000 snowflake silver, thousands of miles of official position for money is really not for nothing."
This fellow had immediately offered 100,000 silver.
…
This was how the local officials earned money.
"I'm Li, Shun, Cai.
Daren can just call me Shuncai."
Li Shuncai saw Yuan Ye's familiar method of collecting money and his attitude had made a 180-degree turn. He was completely relieved in his heart and then smiled apologetically to Yuan Ye.
Under normal circumstances, they would address each other respectfully as 'Lord' since they were all colleagues.
However, this was only for those who had a good relationship with him. Many people with lower official positions called those with higher official positions 'sir' while those with higher official positions called those with lower official positions by their names.
But this Li Shuncai was naturally someone who was over fifty years old.
It would be weird if Yuan Ye called him Shuncai as if he was a junior.
"Cough cough, there's a huge age difference between us. I'll just call you Lord Li.”
Now that Yuan Ye had accepted the money, his attitude was naturally good.
Moreover, he did not have the strange habit of calling someone who was almost his father a junior.
Thus, he addressed Li Shuncai as Lord Li.
"As long as Milord is happy."
Li Shuncai said with a smile.
"Yes!"
Yuan Ye nodded and sat down on a chair.
"Sir, I have a request.”
Li Shuncai saw that it was about time and cupped his hands towards Yuan Ye.
"Oh?"
"What is it?"
Yuan Ye knew that he wouldn't take the money for nothing.
"It's like this. When the Sixth Prince rebelled, he suppressed me. I couldn't stop him, nor did I send a message to His Majesty immediately, so this matter will definitely be implicated.
Please put in a good word for me in front of His Majesty. I have absolutely nothing to do with that traitor, the Six Kings.”
Li Shuncai said carefully to Yuan Ye.
"Hmm?"
"This matter involves a lot of things and is very difficult to handle.
His Majesty was currently inspecting everyone involved in this matter.
Moreover, the person in charge of the picket was jointly organized by the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court.
It's hard to say."
Yuan Ye frowned and said.
"Ah! It was jointly organized by the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court.”
Hearing Yuan Ye's words, Li Shun collapsed to the ground.
If the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court were to work together, then his matter would definitely be investigated thoroughly. Most importantly, no one would be able to save him after they found out.
This was the most important thing.
"Sir, you must save me.
As long as you save me, I am willing to offer you three hundred thousand taels of silver and fifty thousand taels of gold.
Moreover, in the future, I will obey your orders.”
Just as Li Shun Cai was in despair, he saw the calm Yuan Ye. He quickly crawled over to Yuan Ye as if he was holding onto a life-saving straw and grabbed Yuan Ye's pants for help.
"Sigh, I'm the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works. I don't have any dealings with the people of the Ministry of Justice.
Moreover…I've only been in office for a few days.
It's very difficult."
Yuan Ye shook his head and said helplessly.
"Five hundred thousand taels of silver and one hundred thousand taels of gold.
This is all I have. Please save me.”
Li Shuncai once again fell into despair after hearing this. He ignored all the property he had embezzled from being an official for most of his life and said to Yuan Ye.
He gave up so much not to protect his own life and official position, but to protect the lives of his entire family.
"Forget it, I'm not someone who doesn't do anything for money. Although five hundred thousand taels of silver and one hundred thousand taels of gold are not much, it should be enough for me to buy some for you in the outer capital.
The Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court needed to be taken care of from top to bottom.
Forget it, I'll make up for it myself.”
Yuan Ye finally agreed reluctantly.
He thought that he would need 600,000 taels of silver this time. When he returned to the capital, he would send people in his name to send 50,000 taels of silver to the homes of the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Justice.
They would definitely accept it on account of him.
If he didn't accept her personally.
This way, he would be able to keep 500,000 taels of silver and 100,000 taels of gold.
Not bad, this deal could be done.
Moreover, although this Li Shuncai was the Yin Tian Prefecture Magistrate, he was only an insignificant figure.
There were many Yingtian Prefecture Yin in Bian Prefecture.
Saving one didn't mean saving everyone.
Even Taikang Emperor wouldn't care if he knew.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!
I will never forget your kindness in saving my life.”
Li Shuncai was so touched by Yuan Ye's words that tears streamed down his face.
She really thought that Yuan Ye would give her all the money.
Although he had been an official for so many years and was already a monkey, the crime of rebellion was very serious.
If it was really a difference of one million taels, it would probably not be enough to save a life.
"Alright, alright. You can go back first.
You have to hurry up. After I confiscate your house, I have to hurry to the capital.
Otherwise, you'll be in more danger every day you stay.”
Yuan Ye waved his hand and ordered Li Shun to leave.
"Yes, thank you, sir."
Li Shuncai also knew what Yuan Ye meant, so he didn't say much. After thanking him, he got up and prepared to leave.
"Right, send someone to send the money over later. You should keep a low profile for a while.
Don't make things difficult for me."
Yuan Ye said to Li Shuncai.
"Yes, sir."
Li Shuncai agreed again and left.
"Milord, the money found in the Sixth Prince's Mansion is less than 100,000 taels of silver and less than 1,000 taels of gold. The antiques and paintings are not very valuable.
However, there were quite a few rare books in the study.”After a while, a general walked over and reported to Yuan Ye.
"Hmm?"
"Impossible. Did you guys look for a treasure vault or something that could easily hide treasures?”
Yuan Ye stood up and asked the general.
"Other than the servants 'living quarters, we've found everything we need.
The six kings 'bedroom, study, and Jiakuan's living quarters were all searched, but there were no hidden compartments.”
The general replied helplessly.
They could be considered veterans of house raids and were also proficient in finding hidden compartments.
However, he couldn't find it in the Sixth Prince's Mansion.
"Impossible. Search carefully.
It was impossible for the huge Sixth Prince's Mansion to have so little money.
If the six kings were poor, how could they have gathered 100,000 people to rebel?”
Yuan Ye didn't believe it and asked the general to search on the side.
"Yes, sir!"
The general retreated helplessly.
In fact, he did not believe that the Sixth Prince's Mansion would not have a secret room or money.
Now, not only did the general not believe it, even Yuan Ye did not believe it.
A single Yin Tian Prefecture Magistrate had casually taken out 600,000 taels of silver and 100,000 taels of gold.
Could it be that the six kings were even poorer than a mere Yin Tian Prefecture magistrate?
This was obviously impossible.
The general ordered the soldiers to search carefully again.
At the same time, 300 soldiers fell in from the outside. No matter where the servants and maids lived, they could not let them go.
They searched carefully.
