It Turned Me Into a Ghost Chapter 83

The officials in the Ministry of Accounts are all experienced in making false accounts, and the outgoing and incoming items were smoothed out early on. Not to mention that the emperor hired more than a dozen capable officials to review, even if he found a hundred, it would be of no avail. All the major aristocratic families were waiting on the ground, waiting for the emperor to find out nothing, then they would collectively file a petition to impeach him, and the royal family members were also ready to launch an attack.

However, things went against expectations. After checking the accounts for three days, the emperor actually uncovered five or six earth-shattering corruption cases, including the theft of military rations, theft of military pay, the fraud of aid, the interception of banknotes, etc. The total amount of corruption amounted to He raised an astonishing 10 million taels, equivalent to the total tax revenue of the Dayong Kingdom in ten years, and implicated hundreds of officials, big and small.

The Minister of Hubu was first sentenced to death in Lingchi, implicating nine clans, and none of their subordinates were spared, and they were all killed. Not only officials from the Ministry of Revenue, but also officials from other ministries were implicated, and many people were imprisoned for a time. This bloody storm came so suddenly that the powerful and powerful people were caught off guard and became furious. They couldn't imagine how the emperor sorted out such a complicated account in three days, and how did he find the irrefutable evidence?
