"Do you know what a sin is in Jiaozhao?"

Zheng I-Park was furious, but there was obviously a lack of breath in his voice.

He knew in his heart that Xu Xianchun was the commander of Jinyiwei, and this time he came to arrest people with great fanfare, it must have been an order from there.

But other than that, he has nothing to say, since the emperor has issued an order, it must be ironclad evidence, and he has to admit everything.

Of course, he is also confident, no matter what, even if the four-rank members of the dynasty commit a crime, they can't be compared to a small brocade guard.

Xu Xianchun stood in the courtyard, and the captains of the Beizhen Fusi behind him rushed into the backyard one after another, shouting and scolding, and the chickens flew and the dogs jumped.

He didn't reply, as if waiting for something.

It wasn't until a brocade-clothed guard Qianhu ran out of the backyard and carried a birdcage that he took the birdcage into his hand, pointed to the yellow bird inside and smiled:

"Dare to ask if this bird is Lady Squire's?"

Zheng and I snorted coldly, and replied angrily: "So what, is it a sin to buy a bird to raise in this world now?" ”

Then, he sneered again, looked at the captains who were raiding his mansion, and shouted:

"You and other factory guards, all of them are Wei eunuchs' lackeys, this official is sitting upright, and there is no excuse for the crime you want to add! Come on, arrest me and torture me! ”

"There is a sentence that this official still wants to say, you have arrested me today Zheng and I Pu, but justice is in the hearts of the people, and there is public opinion in the world!"

I have to say that this hand wants to capture and indulge, and Zheng I Pu is really proficient in playing.

Xu Xianchun couldn't help but applaud him, and he didn't go on to argue with him, but said: "Since this yellow bird belongs to Lord Shilang, then please forgive the official for being rude." ”

"Today, Your Majesty has issued a decree with 'Desire to Add Sin', telling us to arrest adults and send them to prison!"

Then, he stepped forward to look at Zheng Ipu and said with a smile: "Do you want to go by yourself, or will the lower officials torture you back?" It seems to be insulting to copy it back, right? ”

Zheng Ipu was stunned for a moment, and then trembled, and I didn't know whether he was angry or frightened by Xu Xianchun, who was cold on his face.

Soon, the Zheng Mansion was seized by the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town.

Zheng Ipu was arrested and put in prison for trial at a later date, while all the servants of the Zheng family were dismissed, and all 12 members of the Zheng family were imprisoned and temporarily detained in the prison of the Criminal Department.

Xu Xianchun, the commander of Jinyiwei, said that in the Zheng Mansion, more than 1 million taels of bribes and stolen silver were seized and stored in the basement before they could be issued!

The total value of the rest, such as all kinds of calligraphy and paintings, antiques, as well as Zheng Ipu's houses and gardens in Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places, is conservatively estimated to be more than four million taels!

When the news came back to Jingshi, the government and the opposition were shocked!

The right servant of the ministry, although he has a lot of power, but he is only 20 stone a month, and his name is exposed, he doesn't know if he doesn't check, and he is shocked when he checks it, and the total amount of his family property is as high as more than 4 million taels!

It is a person who can know that it is impossible for Zheng Wupu's Yulu to support him to live in such a luxurious mansion, not to mention that he also built two gardens in Suzhou and Hangzhou and purchased a large number of fields!

Obviously, the rumors of the yellow bird are not groundless, and Zheng Ipu is indeed guilty of corruption and bribery.

Such a person is actually one of the twenty same examiners who will take the exam this year.

In this way, the rest of the rumors about the bribery of the examiners in the imperial examination and the fraud of the tribute students became more and more true, and when the rumors were about to become facts, many people panicked.

......

When Zhu Youxiao closed the last notebook, it was already late at night.

Zhang Yan carefully inserted the embroidery needle into the embroidery bandage, got up and went to the small fire in the second room to bring him the rock sugar white fungus that had been stewed there.

Zhu Youxiao is also accustomed to reaching out directly to take it, holding it in one hand, walking around in the Xinuan Pavilion, drinking and watching the night in the palace.

The emperor seemed to be leisurely, but Zhang Yan could clearly see the change in his expression.

Zhu Youxiao quickly finished drinking and sat back in the chair, handed the bowl back to Zhang Yan, sat there and thought for a while, and found that Zhang Yan was still standing on the side, so he asked softly:

"Is the queen still in trouble?"

Zhang Yan brought the bowl, handed it to Gong E's hand and signaled to wash it, and only said worriedly when there was no one:

"The day before yesterday, it was rumored in the palace that the examiners of this meeting took bribes for personal gain, and the people were boiling and the Han Shi was resentful, is this what the book says?"

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "I wonder why there is so much discussion among the people, and in the past few days, none of the officials have mentioned this matter. ”

"Queen, these science and Taoist officials who usually have to talk long and short even about raising a cat, but this time they are so quiet, do you think this is strange?"

Zhang Yan nodded after thinking about it: "This matter is too deeply involved, I'm afraid that the officials have doubts, so don't dare to talk about it rashly!" ”

"Hmph, they saw that this incident insulted their reputation, so they didn't say a word." Zhu Youxiao stood up again, walked to the eaves of the warm pavilion, and said:

"What does the Empress suggest?"

Zhang Yan replied quietly: "Your Majesty, Taizu has training, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the concubine can say a few words to His Majesty, but the suggestion is absolutely undaring." ”

Zhu Youxiao glanced at her and said with a smile: "If I just want to hear the queen's opinion?" But it doesn't hurt to say it, I don't necessarily listen, and if I don't listen, you won't be considered a politician. ”

Zhang Yan was amused and said softly:

"Monarchs and ministers are like fathers and sons, the imperial examination was originally a major event to win the hearts of the people, but to this point, if the court ignores it, it will offend the hearts of the poor people in the world."

Zhang Yan's words stopped at the point, she didn't say too much, and she also said her thoughts all the time.

Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied after hearing this, and nodded and said:

"Yesterday, Xu Xianchun raided the mansion of Zheng Wupu, the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials, and I wanted to punish the three law divisions for trial, but do you know that this little servant of the Ministry of Officials, who has been an official for eight years, has been greedy for more than 4 million taels of family wealth!"

"It seems that Wei Zhongxian's yellow bird's interesting talk is the real situation, for such a person, there is really no need to retry it, it is a waste of time. That's why I decided to issue a holy decree to behead Zheng and I Pu tomorrow! ”

"It is also tomorrow, when Zheng and I are beheaded, that I will hold a court meeting to show the court officials and the people of the world that the court has a tough attitude xguan.xyz in dealing with corruption and bribery."

"There's a court meeting tomorrow?"

Although Zhang Yan was a little surprised in her tone, the smile on her face and the look in her eyes clearly showed her appreciation and love for the Emperor of the Apocalypse in front of her.

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao had already made up her mind and nodded, she then asked:

"Is Your Majesty still coming to bed?"

Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said, "No, tonight in Xinuan Pavilion, I have other things to order, you go back and rest early." ”

Zhang Yan also knew that staying here could only add to the chaos, and there were indeed some words that the emperor would not be able to order in front of him.

She bowed and walked away gently.

This night, Zhu Youxiao had no sleep all night.

Wang Chaofu, who was guarding outside, saw that people were constantly being ordered to enter the palace, and when the lights outside the imperial city were sparse and the voices were fading, the Xinuan Pavilion was brightly lit, and some people talked all night.

On the second day, a criminal officer opened the door of the cell, which had been closed for two days, and ridiculed the former senior official who had lost his soul inside:

"Servant of the ministry, get up and hit the road!"
