Chapter 604: Roster
When he entered the prison, the first thing he saw was Zhang Lingrong, who was holding the cell door with his hands and glaring angrily. Seeing her, he glared even more angrily, "Guo Wenying, you copied my house, and I won't finish with you." ”
Guo Wenying glanced at him lightly, "What does Zhang Gongzi want? Climb out and bite?" Without the golden sign of the Zhang family, he is just a dog, even if he barks, no one cares.
"Guo Wenying, you can't die well, you ......"
He scolded and scolded, Guo Wenying didn't pay attention to it anymore, and only looked at the few Zhang family men behind him, these are all Zhang family brothers, the Zhang family has a huge business, and the brothers work together to earn such a big family business. But if they don't do it, they won't die, and they probably didn't expect such a day.
The Zhang family insisted that Jingshan sit in the corner, raised his eyes and looked forward, "Is your lord planning to interrogate?"
Guo Wenying raised her eyebrows, "What's the matter?"
Zhang Jingshan hung his head for a while, and suddenly let out a long sigh, "What can you do if you don't recruit or not? A piece of big fat meat is placed there, and it is obvious that it makes people greedy, and the world is as black as a crow, how many cats can not steal fish? If you catch a batch, there will naturally be a second batch, a third batch, and I am afraid that you will not be able to kill them." As he spoke, his eyes suddenly sharpened, "If you want evidence, I have it here, and I have a roster in my arms, it's up to you to see if you dare to take it." ”
Zhang Mingchang asked people to go in and rummage through him, and sure enough, he found a roster, he didn't dare to open it, and held it high and handed it to Guo Wenying.
Guo Wenying didn't want to look at it for a while, not that she didn't dare, but she didn't want to, she heard the meaning of Zhang Jingshan's words, and the number of people involved in the case this time was probably more than she imagined.
Zhang Ming raised it for a long time, and when he saw that she didn't react, he screamed, "My lord......"
Guo Wenying sighed, once this thing passed her hand, it was her responsibility, and she was afraid that she couldn't get rid of it if she wanted to.
Zhang Jingshan smiled coldly at her, "It is said that Lord Guo is as bold as the sky and wants to wash the southeast in blood? I don't know what kind of bloodbathing method the adults plan to make?"
Guo Wenying took a breath, finally took the roster in his hand, and then said coldly: "Take care of them, wait for them to fall." ”
She turned around and left the cell, but she was only a few dozen meters away, and she felt that she was walking very heavy, and even the roster in her hand became heavy. When I returned to the bedroom, I threw it on the desk, but I didn't have the desire to open it. You have to look at it if you don't look at it, and after her hand, who will believe that she hasn't seen it?
Flipping through it slightly, the names recorded on the roster and the amount of corruption and bribery, not only the officials in the salt affairs, but also the officials of the 36 provinces in the south of the Yangtze River are almost all large, ranging from nine products to one or two products, and the minimum amount is more than 1,000 taels. Even Lu Junyan was on the list, and the amount of bribes was as high as 10,000 taels.
Guo Wenying's eyes shrank when she saw it, and she felt a headache, she knew that this was not a good thing, but she didn't expect it to be worse than she imagined. This is to put most of the Jiangnan officialdom into it. And the whole body is involved, and the yamen and officials of the six ministries are also involved in the case, and the amount of filial piety that these people send to the homes of the officials of the various ministries every year is already very huge.
She didn't dare to go down again, the more she looked, the more frightened she felt, she was like this, if Feng Jingting saw it, she didn't know what her heartache and anger would become.
Someone called Zhang Mingchang in, and said in a low voice: "This roster will be sent to Hangzhou immediately and handed over to the emperor." ”
Zhang Mingchang blinked, "My lord, are you just sending it over?"
Guo Wenying snorted coldly, "What can I say? Whether it is to kill or release, whether it is punishment or vertical, the emperor is on top of it, can I not be able to arrest people according to the roster?" she said and said: "Those who were arrested before, except for some first-offenders, those lower-level officials should be released first, and wait for the emperor's will." ”
Zhang Ming replied, he knew Guo Wenying's difficulties, in the final analysis, she was just the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, in charge of the affairs of the two voices, where could she manage so much?
After Zhang Mingchang left, Guo Wenying's whole body collapsed on the chair, and for the first time in her life, she had a sense of powerlessness. Zhang Jingshan's sentence is right, how can there be a fox who doesn't steal fish, salt is a big fat meat, and none of them are clean.
Or in the future, after the completion of the maritime yamen, there will be a group of corrupt officials here, and others don't know the profits of maritime taxes, but her heart is clear, and the money in it is also out of the sea.
In the future, if the supervision is not strict, the consequences will be even more serious.
It's a pity that she, a woman, can really be the enemy of the entire Jiangnan officialdom?
#
Ten days later, the emperor came to Hangzhou, and a full set of honor guards alarmed the streets and alleys.
The emperor is coming, Guo Wenying, as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, naturally wants to visit, she set off from Fuzhou to Hangzhou, and I don't know how many times she scolded Feng Jingting along the way. A few days ago, the emperor sent someone to tell her that she was asked to participate in the 36 ways of the four provinces in the last excerpt, and said that she had offended everyone left and right, and it was not bad this time.
The boss in her heart is not happy, what does it mean that she has offended all people? Even if she offends the light, it is for him to offend, he did not catch the shadow of the third prince in Hangzhou, but let people play tricks around the circle, and the boss is not happy, so he wants to rectify the officialdom.
The salt case involved too many people, and the number of people involved in the case was also too many, when Zhang Mingchang said that he wanted to arrest people according to the list, Guo Wenying didn't agree, all because the emperor was here, and she didn't need to be strong. But at this moment, it was obvious that the emperor threw this hot potato back.
Wangwang held the roster in his hand, and he didn't feel good in his heart, Feng Jingting meant that he planned to present this by herself.
When she arrived in Hangzhou City, it was already dark, and the next day, she dressed neatly and got on the sedan chair, and went straight to the post house, at this time there were many people surrounded in front of the Hangzhou post house, all of whom were the magistrates of the four provinces in the south of the Yangtze River who came to meet her.
As early as a few days ago, Feng Jingting had already sent people to the order, and officials from the surrounding four provinces and 36 provinces came. At this time, everyone gathered together in groups to discuss, and no one knew why the emperor suddenly called people.
Lu Junyan also stood in the crowd, surrounded by several platforms, these people muttered to him, but he didn't pay attention, and stood alone and lost his mind. Seeing Fu Yao's sedan chair, he showed a smile.
He quietly pulled Guo Wenying aside and said in a low voice: "Wenying, do you know what the emperor is doing?"
Guo Wenying vaguely guessed a little, but it was not easy to disclose, so she only said: "Hengzhi has nothing to do with uncle, and my uncle is out of the sea of suffering if he is a student and politician, and if he is conscientious in the future, he will not have trouble finding you." ”
