ather and son traveled so far to see this palace, now that this palace invites you to eat buns, you don't even recognize me”Although he had a hunch in his heart, when the truth was right before him, L...Chapter 23, Will You Save Him

Sanbao, the eunuch, was filled with excitement. Upon hearing this, he respectfully took out a ledger and read aloud: "Your humble servant Chen Huizhi has confiscated all property from his mansion, including 2.3 million taels of gold and silver, 660 mu of land deeds, 8 commercial contracts, and 16 land titles."

“The culprit Chen Zhi had his family property confiscated, totaling 480,000 taels of silver. Among them, there were countless palace antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and jade artifacts verified through investigation. It was found that they were all stolen from the inner court by him while abusing his position. In addition, there were one hundred and ninety-five mu of land deeds, three commercial contracts, and nineteen property deeds.”

"The criminal Wei Xian, his palace residence and properties were confiscated, totaling nine hundred thousand taels of silver. Among them, there were many more antique artworks, calligraphy, and jade artifacts belonging to the palace. They were stolen property. In addition, there were three hundred and twenty mu of farmland deeds and eight land deeds."

"The criminal Qian Han, had his family property confiscated, totaling 1,860,000 taels of silver, 1,350 mu of land deeds, 220 commercial contracts, and 45 land titles."

There are also the Hu and Chen families, with a total of 1.3 million taels of seized property, 16,800 mu of land deeds, business contracts covering 920 locations nationwide, and 369 land deeds.

After finishing his report, Sanbao respectfully presented the ledger to Li Chen's table and said, "All the money and silver have been deposited into the national treasury. All transactions are recorded in the ledger, with verifiable evidence."

Li Chen's gaze swept over Zhao Xuanji and the others, whose expressions were sinister. He said, "These few people alone have stolen nearly two million taels of silver in property. How much tax does the Great Qin Empire collect in a year Such a plague on the country, killing them is justified! Not only is there no fault, but it's too late and not enough!"

"With these two million taels, we can completely alleviate the disaster in three provinces. Not to mention those deeds of land, contracts for businesses, Your Majesty, I ask you, what have I done wrong! Speak!"

Even Zhao Xuance, facing the ironclad truth, had flickering eyes. As for the others, they felt a chill down their spines.

At this very moment, Sanbao softly spoke, “Your Highness, when I searched the Hu family's property, I found that the Hu family has been bribing Dali Temple Qing Sun Boling for years. Their letters reveal the amount and time of the bribes, often tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of silver taels sent to Sun Boling's residence. In return, Sun Boling shielded them from their crimes of extortion, bullying competitors, and even murder during their business dealings. There is irrefutable evidence for all of this.”

The three treasures' actions are cruel and merciless.

Kneeling outside the palace gate, Sun Beri's face was as pale as paper. He cried out, "I am innocent! I am wronged! All of this is nonsense, I absolutely have not accepted bribes, please, Your Highness, investigate this clearly!"

At this moment, Sun Beri hated Sibaobao intensely and deeply regretted provoking the eunuch in the first place. Now, he was being retaliated against by this vindictive monster.

He knew his own affairs best and was very clear about his own shortcomings. He knew they couldn't withstand a search by the Dongchang, so he immediately cried out to Zhao Xuanji: "Your Excellency, the Chief Minister, save me!"

< This statement, when uttered, is tantamount to admitting one's guilt. >

Zhao Xuanji's face was filled with hatred. He felt that Sun Berli was no different from a pig, blindly leading him into the fire pit.

Under these circumstances, how could the prince possibly let it go

As expected, Li Chen really didn't intend to let Sun Boli go.

"Save you"eared. He was now facing off with a resolute air.Li Chen said indifferently, "The first time I discovered that the elder's height wasn't bad either."Zhaoxuanji said: "The old minister is just accustom...
