Chapter Twenty-Four(2/2)
"In order to raise 5,000 taels, Tu Jie embezzled a total of 3,200 taels from the construction of Mo Yushitai without authorization. In addition, this person also claimed that Tu Jie privately received bribes. In order to raise money, he once took money from an old man over sixty years old.
