No wonder she couldn't find him just now. It turned out that he had gone to steal her money!
This ungrateful wretch who doesn't know how to be content!
Gao Yang looked at Madam Wei helplessly.
It wasn't that he wanted to betray her. He didn't dare to do so.
However, Magistrate Zhang had searched all the way to the villa, and there were both witnesses and material evidence.
They didn't dare to deny the fact that they were being punished severely.
Therefore, they quickly confessed and even decided to push the blame onto Madam Wei in an attempt to get away with it!
Chu Xuanchen looked at Magistrate Zhang sternly. "Lord Zhang, did you really find three million taels of silver in Madam Wei's villa?"
Magistrate Zhang cupped his hands and said, "It's absolutely true. There were officials who testified at the time. Your Highness, I not only found Madam Wei's hidden money, but also found these two account books! "
As Magistrate Zhang spoke, he took the two account books from his subordinate and handed them to Chu Xuanchen.
Chu Xuanchen took the account books and asked in confusion, "What account books are these?"
Magistrate Zhang said, "Just now, the accountant said that one of these two account books is the real one, and the other is a fake one. According to the real account book, Her Majesty the Empress raised a total of three million and fifty thousand taels of silver, while the fake account book only recorded two million taels of silver. In other words, not only did they embezzle the money, but they also changed the amount of money raised. "
When the commoners heard this, there was an uproar.
Now, everyone looked at Madam Wei as if they wanted to eat her up.
Chu Xuanchen took the account books and approached Madam Wei step by step. "Madam Wei, didn't you say that you only raised two million taels of silver? Why did Lord Zhang find three million taels of silver? Didn't you say that you transported the rest of the money to Jiangnan for disaster relief? Why is it still in your villa? "
Madam Wei was so scared that her face turned pale and her body trembled like a frightened bird.
She hurriedly quibbled, "This, this is all my own money. It's not the money raised for disaster relief. Don't talk nonsense."
Magistrate Zhang immediately said, "Madam, don't quibble anymore! When the Empress was raising funds, this official also donated banknotes. At that time, this official's banknotes were accidentally stained with ink. When this official was searching your manor, I happened to find that banknote that was stained with ink. Moreover, your subordinates have all confessed. Do you still want to deny it? "
"Ah!" Madam Wei panicked and almost fell to the ground.
At this moment, Chu Xuanchen said coldly, "Madam of the Wei Kingdom, now that there are witnesses and evidence, what else do you have to say?"
With a pale face, Madam Wei pointed at him with a trembling finger. "Chu Xuanchen, you're the one who framed me. I didn't embezzle money, I didn't! "
"There are both witnesses and evidence. You still dare to quibble when you're about to die. Men, tie Madam Wei up! Together with her trusted aide Gao Yang, the bookkeeper, and her hired thugs, they were all taken to the Imperial Palace. Wang wants the Emperor to see her true face! "
At Chu Xuanchen's order, Liu Ruyan hurriedly went to tie Madam Wei up.
At this moment, some commoners had already thrown the bowls in their hands at Madam Wei and said angrily, "This Madam Wei dared to embezzle everyone's money and falsify accounts. Beat her to death, beat her to death!"
As they spoke, countless pieces of rotten porridge and vegetable leaves flew towards Madam Wei like snowflakes. In an instant, she was thrown into a mess and looked very dirty.
Madam Wei pushed the vegetable leaves off her face and shouted angrily, "You unruly people, I was kind enough to give you porridge. How dare you hit me? Stop it, stop it! "
