Chapter 110: The Best Fool
Zhu Yuanzhang also slowly exhaled when he heard this, the matter has come to this point, not to mention that he is unwilling to kill Ma Nanshan in his heart.
If Yang Xian finds out that Ma Nanshan is corrupt and can't return the stolen money, in order to maintain law and order, Zhu Yuanzhang can only make an example of chickens and monkeys, and now that the stolen money can be returned, there will be a chance to turn a big thing into a small matter.
After a while, a guard escorted Ma Nanshan over, only to see him look disappreciative, kneeling on the ground and looking at Zhu Yuanzhang and saying, "The minister is guilty, please deal with it." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him and said, "You are so bold! You dare to cut corners in the imperial examination, and you can't rebel if you want to! ”
Ma Nanshan said seriously: "The rebel minister will definitely not dare, who dares to rebel against His Majesty, the minister will cut him down!" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was a little better: "Then you did such an ugly thing?" ”
Ma Nanshan replied calmly: "Hehe, this is indeed the minister's doing." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he didn't want to look at him anymore: "Can you have a little face, you are a servant of the Ministry of Works, you have less food or less clothes in the court, and the court's money is not enough for you as a fool?" ”
Ma Nanshan said unconvinced: "It's really not enough!" Shengshang, the brothers in the old camp of Fengyang have all been promoted, Zhang San and Li Si have built houses and purchased fields, and they have also accepted several little wives, so we are not even a serious woman. ”
Zhu Biao on the side couldn't hold back a smile, this guy also came out of the army, and he fought a lot of battles big and small, so it stands to reason that he has saved a lot, how to mix this virtue.
Ma Nanshan saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was just panting, and said with some grievances: "Finally, the saint found us an envoy from the Ministry of Industry, and we planted ......... after just a few days."
Zhu Yuanzhang hated iron and said: "Okay... Okay, let you say this, how much are you greedy!
Ma Nanshan lowered his head and whispered: "More than 3,000 taels, the people below divided 800 taels, the minister himself took more than 2,000 taels, bought a house and spent 200 taels, and then bought a field in his hometown and spent 400 taels, and the rest .........."
Zhu Yuanzhang kicked him: "Shameless, you are fucking embarrassed to report to us!" Go and hand over two thousand taels to the Ministry of Works immediately! ”
Ma Nanshan hesitated for a moment and said: "Our flowers are gone, this is too ......"
Zhu Yuanzhang flew up again and kicked Ma Nanshan to the back: "You are also worthy of being greedy?" Get lost! Get out! ”
Ma Nanshan got up and touched his head: "We are not satisfied with the eldest brother for anything, we will say whatever the saint asks!" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Ma Nanshan angrily and couldn't speak, seeing that his breath was about to be closed, Zhu Biao hurriedly stepped forward to support his father, gave him a smooth breath with one hand, glared at Ma Nanshan, a living treasure, and drank: "Don't go to the Ministry of Industry to block the silver!" ”
Ma Nanshan also knew that he would stay at this time, and he estimated that he would not be able to escape the first knife, so he agreed, patted his ass and left.
On the other side, the officials of Zhongshu Province were still carefully inspecting the Enke examination room, Li Shanchang sighed and gave Hu Weiyong a look, and asked him to stare at Manan Mountain, this dog is very muddy, if this ruins His Royal Highness's silver again, it will become a big joke.
Zhu Biao helped Zhu Yuanzhang to sit down on a step, although there are tables and chairs in the Enke examination room, who knows if it will collapse.
Zhu Yuanzhang relieved for a while before he got his way, if someone else made a mistake and honestly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, he would be over after another lesson, but he ran into this donkey thing.
Zhu Biao persuaded a few more words on the side, and then Zhu Yuanzhang waved at Li Shanchang and ordered: "Strip him of his official position, and then beat that idiot to fifty boards, and then escort him directly to Tang He." ”
Li Shanchang went as promised, and Zhu Yuanzhang asked Yang Xian to be responsible for rectifying the Enke examination room.
Zhu Yuanzhang led his son back to the imperial study, and when he entered the house, he saw Mao Xiao kneeling on the ground, Zhu Biao didn't say anything after looking at it, and went back to his place directly.
Mao Xiang opened his mouth and said: "The minister has failed to live up to the trust of the saint, and he has made such a big mistake in the Enke examination room, please punish the saint!" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "You also go to get the thirty boards, find out who colluded with Ma Sandao to pervert the law?" ”
Mao Xiang immediately replied: "It's the Li family in the city, their family is in the building materials business, and the head of the Li family has already served, they are greedy for a total of 6,000 taels, and they have divided more than 2,000 taels of Manan Mountain."
Zhu Yuanzhang was originally angry and choked up again: "Didn't Ma Sandao say that there are more than three thousand taels in total?" ”
Mao Xiang also twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "It seems that he was also deceived." ”
Mao Xiang was actually very aggrieved, he just never expected that Ma Sandao's brain could have the idea of being greedy, so he would be beaten for 30 boards.
Zhu Yuanzhang was happy: Haha, so bold, I thought it was a few hundred taels of greed through Ma Sandao, but I didn't expect them to get the big head. ”
Mao Xiang continued: "Not only that, but Ma Nanshan's two thousand taels were also earned by them, they introduced a prostitute to Ma Nanshan, hooked up with Ma Nanshan to pay her to redeem herself, and as a result, he took the money and returned to the Li family, and Ma Nanshan was empty of people and money........."
Zhu Yuanzhang held his head a little tired and ordered: "Raid the house, all the main personnel will be beheaded and shown to the public." ”
Mao Xiang immediately agreed to go, and Zhu Biao got up and poured a cup of tea for his father: "These veterans of Ma Nanshan have an upright temperament, and they really don't know what to do except kill people and fight, and it is really not suitable to put them in the sixth department." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang took the tea and said: "It's true that they are upright, but the only one who can get to this point is this Ma Sandao!" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said, "Is our money really not enough to spend?" ”
Before Zhu Biao could say anything, he retorted: "They don't have enough to give, but they will be even more greedy!" ”
Zhu Biao persuaded: "People's hearts are like this, but there are indeed officials who abide by their hearts, they are not greedy and pervert the law, but their lives are very poor, but after a long time, they can't help it when they see their colleagues fish and meat."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Then add some, but you have to wait until this limelight passes, otherwise what kind of system will it be." ”
Zhu Biao naturally said a few words about his father, Emperor Shengming, and then the father and son began to review the chapter again.
Zhu Biao suddenly saw a letter from Yang Jing, Marquis of Yingyang, which said that Mingsheng, the lord of Xia State, was unwilling to surrender, and now he didn't know how to deal with it, so he asked Zhu Yuanzhang to show it. The recent political situation of the Xia Kingdom is recorded in the back.
Zhu Biao frowned and thought for a while, this Xia Country Lord Mingsheng seems to be about the same age as him, but he has been on the throne for three or four years.
