Cao Xibao is not famous, but everyone knows when it comes to the famous Hezhen. He Yan had a house slave named Liu Quan, who used he's power to amass wealth, and at that time there were more than a hundred houses in and around the capital, and Liu Quan also had shares in many pawnshops and medicine shops. He himself is not good at coming forward to pay for someone to manage it, and he profits from it himself.
Liu Quan, like his master, was a very high-profile person, and the specifications of the mansion he built even exceeded that of the imperial palace. Moreover, Liu Quan was very arrogant, according to his identity, he could only ride in a carriage of one horse, but his car had three horses. The people inside and outside the capital dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

At this time, there was a Shaanxi Province inspector named Cao Xibao, who saw all this in his eyes. Cao Xibao planned to participate in Liu Quan's role, and used this as a breakthrough to hope that the emperor would investigate and deal with Hezhen. After Cao Xibao wrote down the recital, he felt that he wanted to do something earth-shattering, and he was slightly proud of it, so he gave this recital to his hometown Wu Shengqin to see.
However, at this glance, something went wrong.
Old shadow of the summer resort
Wu Province Qin was a native of Nanhui, which is today's Nanhui District of Shanghai. Cao Xibao is a native of Shanghai County. The two are fellow countrymen, may usually have some friendship, Cao Xibao is young after all, does not understand the principle of "things are secretly accomplished to vent defeat", he showed Wu Shengqin after the recital, Wu Shengqin was shocked.
He was Hezhen's teacher, and the two had a good relationship, so he quickly sent his people around him to the summer resort in Chengde City overnight to report to Hezhen. Washu was also shocked when he found out. He also quickly sent someone to greet Liu Quan, and quickly demolished the built house, and the other thing was to do things to converge, don't let you grasp the handle.
Cao Xibao didn't know about it at all. He handed the fold over. The emperor could not refute this face, so he sent someone to investigate.
As a result, when everyone saw that the House of the Liu family was gone, was this not equivalent to Cao Yushi's false accusations? Chincha played the matter, and the emperor also felt that the situation described by this recital was really unreliable, so he dismissed him from his post and investigated it. Of course, the emperor's punishment was "dismissal from office and retention", similar to today's internal warning.
After Jiaqing succeeded to the throne, he would liquidate he, and Liu Quan naturally fell ill. At this time, the emperor remembered Cao Xibao, who had been dead for a long time. The Jiaqing Emperor issued a special decree, which said in the original text: "After the punishment of the crime, the whole family of (Liu) will be given to more than 200,000 yuan." It is Xi Bao's impeachment that is not vain, and it is advisable to add a good reward to speak bluntly. Xi Bao gave the vice capital Yushi, and his son Jiang Shi gave the official Yu Yin. "This former chancellor finally let out a vicious breath underground.
Finally, when he raided the house, Liu Quanjia copied out 15924 taels of silver alone, and he also lent out 12770 taels of silver, and his four pawnshops and drug stores in Beijing had shares, equivalent to 16,000 taels of silver. This is just the tip of the iceberg of Liu Quan's wealth, which is more than forty thousand taels, and other homemade money and gold are not counted. At that time, the annual income of a domestic slave could have 50-100 taels of silver, which was already very high, and Liu Quan's family property alone had so much, which was really jaw-dropping.
