On this day, there were fifty-one officials like Zhu Pingan who received the imperial decree, and all the rest except Zhu Pingan were officials of the fourth rank or above.
At the same time, there were more than two hundred officials below the fourth rank who did not receive the imperial decree but received official documents jointly issued by the Cabinet, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Appointments, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Households.
In addition to this, there were as many as 500 treasury soldiers and servants who did not receive the imperial decree or official document, but were directly copied and imprisoned.
Without exception, all because of the Taicang silver warehouse case was punished, light penalty silver, heavy prison, and then heavy exile or beheading. Being punished by the silver, was fined the amount of silver compensation from tens of hundreds of taels to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of taels ranging.
It is worth noting that, in this case, Yan Song Yan Pekao’s son Yan Shifan also due to check the library twice miss, was fined 12,000 silver taels.
In addition, Zhu Pingan’s seat teacher, the current cabinet minister Xu Shi was also fined 6,000 taels of silver for checking the treasury once.
At one time, the capital is full of factory guards riding back and forth as if.
A certain minister received was fined silver 8000 two imperial decree, smiling face sent away the eunuch who declared the decree, wait until the eunuch left, the minister with both hands respectfully holding the imperial decree put on the incense burner to offer up, and then turned around and cursed up: “Zhu Pingan, you’re a bereaved …….”
An official was factory guards copy home broken, the family, including wives and concubines, children were banished to the smoke and miasma Yunnan, pampered family, in the wolves like tigers under the compulsion of the agents, the family describes the withered, tears like rain looking back to the mansion, the despair of the housewife only remembered her husband’s complaints before he left, “If it is not because of the Zhu Pingan check the library, there will be no such thing as this today ……”
So, the desperate housewife on the road to exile, all the time not gnashing teeth to scold the cause of all this – Zhu Pingan, and educate their young children to remember: “Oooooooooo, you have to remember, cause all this, all because of a person called Zhu Pingan ……”
The towering Yan Mansion.
Four naked beauty maidservant delicate body lying horizontally on the chaise longue, soft as if boneless hooked up, into a gentle chair shape, one-eyed big fat Yan Shifan sat on the gentle chair on the buttocks, his arms around a only inches to cover the shyness of the maidservant, a big hand without pity in the maidservant body rubbed and pinched, a big fat face seems to smile like a smile seems to be angry and not angry with the banquet table of the little brother Luo Longwen laughing and flirting:”Never my Yan House are into the silver, today is fresh, began to pull out the silver ……”
……
After receiving the imperial decree, Zhu Pingan has been sneezing from time to time, and after sneezing again, Zhu Pingan touched his nose with a bewildered face, can it be that he is catching a cold?
This day, the Ming nearly more than a hundred years, the biggest case – Taicang silver warehouse case, so the curtain fell.
The number of officials involved in the case, refreshing the record of Jiajing dynasty; the recovery of the fine compensation silver, also refreshing the record of Jiajing dynasty.
Although Zhu Pingan was fined silver number can be said to be the least, but not Zhu Pingan family background is thin ah, one hundred and sixty silver silver compensation, at once let Zhu Pingan bankruptcy, and finally or in Li Shu help, Zhu Pingan will be one hundred and sixty silver compensation for the fine, as a number of silver compensation to the Ministry of the household.
Zhu Pingan was not the first to pay the fine, the first to pay the fine was Yan Shifan. When Zhu Pingan went to the Ministry of Revenue to pay the fine, he heard that Yan Shifan had already paid the fine, and had returned to Yan Mansion for a long time.
It turned out that Yan Shifan received the imperial decree soon after the fanfare of selling a few old objects in the house, and even Yan Song’s favourite side of the inkstone also sold, and finally came up with 12,000 silver, the first time to the Ministry of the Household.
Yan Shifan actively pay the fine silver behaviour, by the Jiajing emperor’s approval, pass a note to show praise.
Under Yan Shifan’s example, a group of officials with Yan’s party background, whether willing or not, also came to the Ministry of Revenue to pay the fine.
When Zhu Pingan went to the Ministry of Revenue to pay the fine silver, he met several officials of the Yan Party faction who also paid the fine silver, however, none of these officials gave Zhu Pingan a good face, letting Zhu Pingan ate a belly full of mockery of the finger and the locust. ……
After paying the fine silver, Zhu Pingan went to the house of xu step to ask for forgiveness, after all, no matter how to say, because of their own uncovered the lid of the Taicang black curtain, Taicang theft case is exposed to the world, and xu step is precisely because of the checking of the Taicang silver storehouse a failure to be fined 6000 two silver. Strictly speaking, there is still quite a big reason with himself.
Of course, in Zhu Pingan’s opinion, it is estimated that his own mentor, Xu Shi, his arse is not so clean either.
Taicang deficit is so huge, more than obvious, if carefully check the library, it is impossible not to find.
However, in his teacher Xu Shi early years to do check the library of the imperial historian, and did not report Taicang deficit ……
Of course, there are many reasons for not reporting, and does not prove that Xu step on bribery and complicity unclean, but did not report, is to be out of sight.
Zhu Pingan into the Xu House, Xu House is also counting the family, hot selling family property, make up six thousand taels of silver fines.
On the way to the Ministry of Accounts to pay the fine, Zhu Pingan had already heard the news that Yan Fu sold his family’s assets to make up for the fine, and now when he saw the scene of Xu Fu’s counting and selling his family’s assets, Zhu Pingan wasn’t surprised at all.
Twelve thousand two hundred silver, theoretically speaking, according to Yan Song and Yan Shifan’s normal salary, is absolutely not enough, even if you add the reward and so on, but also to break the bones to get out.
Of course, six thousand taels of silver, theoretically speaking, for the Xu House, absolutely also to hurt.
If you don’t sell your family’s assets, you can easily and casually take out the fine silver, that is not to prove that the official is not clean, not to fight to admit that they were inspecting the Taicang for personal gain?
Therefore, sell family property is a must, not only to sell, but also to sell, sell let the whole capital know.
“All of you be careful, this is my father’s favourite soaking bucket, it was passed down from my grandfather. Carry it well and give me three laps along the several streets in front of you, all of you give me a loud shout to sell it, no selling without three hundred taels of silver.”
The eldest son of the Xu House, Xu Fan, who was just in his early twenties, was as strong and sturdy as an ox, but also had a suave and elegant appearance, stood on a table in the courtyard and reached out to command the servants to gather the objects and arrange for the sale of the matter.
“Shiyi brother, is the benefactor available?”
Zhu Pingan saw this scene when he entered the mansion and stepped forward to arch his hand and greet Xu Fan. Xu Fan was the eldest son of Xu Jie, Zhu Pingan had visited Xu Jie in the mansion several times and naturally knew Xu Fan.
“Yo, it’s Zihou who has come, hehe, come in, come in, my old man just read about you. Saying that you first came to the capital and were fined another one hundred and sixty taels of silver, worrying that you won’t be able to scrape it all together and be chastised by the saint again, so no, he asked me to sell his most prized soaking tub and even out one hundred and ten taels of silver for you to use.”
Seeing Zhu Pingan enter the mansion, Xu Fan’s face was full of smiles, his agile hands jumped down from the table, enthusiastically put his arm on Zhu Pingan’s shoulder, and while he swept Zhu Pingan towards the mansion, he said with a bright smile.
