After dealing with this matter, Zhu Youxiao didn't care about other things.

Because there is nothing else to deal with in the DPRK and China, the main problem now is the current party dispute.

The imperial court needs someone to preside over the overall situation, and this person must be self-isolating from many people and need to rely on the emperor.

Wei Zhongxian can't do it, he is a eunuch, and he is destined to not be able to do what he wants him to do.

After all, this world is dominated by scholars, and if Wei Zhongxian is allowed to do it, he can only kill with a knife.

Unless they are all killed, there will inevitably be a rebound afterwards, which is non-negotiable. That's not what I want.

So I need someone on the side of the civil official, and I don't know if someone will stand up this time.

In fact, except for Zhu Youxiao, everyone in the DPRK and China is staring at the change of things. Because it's just too big, and it's too much.

Everyone is waiting, waiting to see who will do it first.

Some people guess that it is Zhao Nanxing, and some people guess that it is Han Yi.

In fact, this day surprised everyone by happening, because these two people did it together.

In the Ministry of Industry, Zhao Nanxing sat in the lobby with a gloomy face, holding an account book in his hand, looked at the person kneeling on the ground, and said slowly: "Chen Langzhong, the facts and evidence are all there, what else do you have to say?" ”

In fact, there is nothing difficult to investigate the case, and there is nothing thrilling. It's just up to you to see if you want to check whether you want to be real.

After Zhao Nanxing made a move this time, he basically didn't make much effort. The annual materials and money and grain deducted by the Ministry of Industry can basically find out the problems as soon as they are checked.

The people below grabbed a few, hit a few boards and asked, and basically the problem came out.

In this Chen Langzhong, it only took a few hours for Zhao Nanxing to find out the cause of the matter.

This Chen Langzhong is embezzling money and grain and squeezing craftsmen, which is an accurate problem.

But everyone present knew that this was not the case at all.

Everyone knows that what is going to be investigated is the case of military salaries, and that case is much bigger than the current one, once the mouth is opened, more people will be implicated, and countless people will be beheaded.

Now the question is, does Chen Langzhong dare to open this mouth?

In fact, there are several ways in which the Ministry of Industry embezzles money.

The first is the money for deducting materials. There are a lot of projects in the imperial court every year, which are basically built by the Ministry of Industry, and there is money for materials.

Some officials directly use shoddy goods, collect kickbacks, and even deduct money and grain, which is a very large piece.

In addition, labor costs are also a good place to deduct. When the Ministry of Industry does errands, it is natural to mobilize manpower, so naturally there will be money and food.

Where there is a place to spend money, there is naturally a place for deductions, which is also a way to make money.

In addition, you can also take on outside work, that is, pick up some work from the outside. These jobs are left to the craftsmen, and the labor cost is naturally lower than the market price, or there is no cost at all.

Because the officials of the Ministry of Industry do not give money to craftsmen, and the craftsmen also spend money and grain on food. Things were made, and the officials took them for delivery.

As for the money given, it naturally fell into the hands of the officials of the Ministry of Industry.

In addition, the most profitable part of the Ministry of Industry is the Ministry of Industry Yu Hengqing Division.

Because of the Ordnance Bureau under the jurisdiction of Yu Hengqing's Division, the warehouses for the manufacture of ordnance (E-word warehouse and Guangji warehouse) are also under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry.

The E-word warehouse stores items such as bows and arrows, armor, etc., and the Guangji warehouse stores sulfur, saltpeter and other items.

The Ordnance Bureau and the Staff Bureau were called the two bureaus of weapons and saddle bridle during the Hongwu period. Ordnance manufacturing and the management of ordnance-related resources are the responsibilities of the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau.

In such a situation, Yu Hengqing is naturally a good place to make a fortune, and it can be said that any handful of them is a first-hand oil.

In front of him, he is Yu Hengqing's official Shi Langzhong, and this piece is under his control, so he found out about him as soon as possible.

Zhao Nanxing looked at Chen Langzhong and said expressionlessly: "What else do you have to say?" ”

Chen Langzhong raised his head and looked at Zhao Nanxing, his eyes were a little red.

Chen Langzhong knew that he was already in a catastrophe, whether it was to be a scapegoat or something else, after this incident, he had no way to escape, only a dead end.

In such a situation, what else do you have to say?

Chen Langzhong raised his head and said with a smile: "Lord Zhao, you are also a member of the Ministry of Industry, you also know the things in this world, if you want to do things, how can you do it without benefits?" The people below are waiting to open their mouths to eat, and some people above are asking for benefits when they open their mouths, what if you don't do it? ”

"If you don't give enough money, the people below will cheat and trick you; If you don't give enough money, the people above will trouble you everywhere. I'm just a Lang Zhong in the Ministry of Works, who wants to do such an angry errand? ”

"If it's possible, why don't I want to be an official, even if it's just a parental official, it's for the court, for Your Majesty. In this part of the Ministry of Industry, I just try my best to do things well, and there are some things I can't do. ”

"Zhao Shilang, I recognize everything you said. Whether it is exile or conscription, I also admit it. But there is one thing I want to tell Zhao Shilang, your official uniform is already red enough, and there is no need to dye it red with the blood of more colleagues. ”

After saying this, Chen Langzhong slowly closed his eyes and looked like he was no longer speaking.

Seeing that scene, Zhao Nanxing's face became ugly.

Sure enough, he still became a bad person, did he do this just to dye his official uniform red?

Glancing at Chen Langzhong, Zhao Nanxing opened his mouth and said, "Don't you have anything else to say?" ”

Chen Langzhong slowly opened his eyes and said helplessly, "What do you want me to say?" ”

There are things that can be said, and there are things that cannot be said. Once you open your mouth, the entire Ministry of Engineering is finished, so many people are implicated, so many people are killed, what should you do after you die?

Such a mouth cannot be opened.

Zhao Nanxing nodded and said, "Since you don't say anything, then I only have Your Majesty." ”

did not answer Zhao Nanxing's words, Chen Langzhong was still silent.

At the same time, in Jinyiwei's Beizhen Fusi, Han Kuang was also interrogating one by one.

Now kneeling in front of Han Yi is Yao Zongwen.

Yao Zongwen's face was very ugly, he was stalked around his neck, and it was Wei Zhongxian who framed him to death.

Yao Zongwen turned over the case once, and then turned it back, and then bit Wei Zhongxian to death. I don't know if he was stimulated by something, no matter how he tried to extract a confession, he just wouldn't open his mouth.

If Yao Zongwen had such a backbone at the earliest, he would not have retracted his confession later.

Han Yi sat expressionlessly, ignoring Yao Zongwen's clamour.

"This pavilion came here today, not to listen to you talk about this." Han Yi said expressionlessly: "This pavilion asks you, have you accepted 3,200 taels of silver from Liu Guojin?" ”

Listening to Han Kuang's words, Yao Zongwen was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head violently, "I didn't accept it." ”

"The perpetrator denied it, and it was recorded." Han Yi turned his head to the clerk on the side and said, then turned his head to look at Yao Zongwen, and said, "On the seventh day of December last year, the lights were ten ten at night, where are you and what are you doing?" ”

"I'm at home." Yao Zongwen opened his mouth and said, his face was a little serious.

"What are you doing? Who to meet? Who can testify? Han Yi asked again.

"I'm seeing Liu Guojin." Yao Zongwen gritted his teeth and said.

"What are you talking about when you meet?" Han Yi asked.

"In order to impeach Xiong Tingbi, I asked him about Xiong Tingbi's affairs in Liaodong. We are also doing this for the sake of Da Ming and Your Majesty! It is completely out of public intentions, and there is no selfishness in it. Yao Zongwen hurriedly said, his face was already a little panicked.

Liu Guojin also said the same, but what he said was that he took 3,000 taels of silver to bribe you. In addition to Liu Guojin, the entourage who followed Liu Guojin with him, he can also prove it, because he brought 3,000 taels of silver. In addition, the housekeeper in your house can also prove that this is the gift list. ”

"There are both human and physical evidence, even if there is no physical evidence, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, three people will become witnesses. Whether you plead guilty or not, you can prove that you accepted bribes from Liu Guojin. ”

"Since you have received the money, then you will impeach Xiong Tingbi with Liu Guojin afterwards, and this cabinet can be considered as you colluding with each other and forming a party for personal gain. So there's nothing more to say, come on, let him draw a charge! ”

The two brocade guards next to him immediately rushed up and walked in front of Yao Zongwen with the ink and paperwork.

At this time, Yao Zongwen had already lost his soul, and if it was the previous interrogation, it might not be anything. But this time it was different, the imperial court sent a cabinet scholar, and basically this case ended here.

If he is convicted like this, the end will definitely not be much better.

Thinking of this, Yao Zongwen hurriedly climbed a few steps forward, and then said, "I want to report, I want to report!" ”

Han Yi glanced at Yao Zongwen, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

But he knew he couldn't be emotional now, so he continued, "Say it." ”

At this time, Yao Zongwen had no idea of resisting any longer, and told everything about it.

From accepting bribes to impeach Xiong Tingbi at the beginning, to retracting his confession later, Yao Zongwen said everything again.

In the end, Yao Zongwen also admitted one thing, that is, forming a party, but he was not talking about personal gain.

"We are all for the Ming Dynasty and Your Majesty!"

"The court is rampant with treachery, and the people are struggling to make a living, if we don't unite, how can we level the court and clarify the officialdom? How can I get to Jun Yao Shun? ”

Han Yi didn't go to see Yao Zongwen, and said directly to the Jinyi guard beside him: "Let him sign the confession." ”

Wei Zhongxian, who was sitting on the side, was going to look stupid, was it so neat?

Why don't you have such people under your own command?

Except for the leather whip, haven't you ever thought of such a way?

What a failure!

Wei Zhongxian glanced at Han Yi in surprise, he felt that he was afraid that he would have an opponent in the future.

If these cases are solved by Han Yi very beautifully, what will Your Majesty think?
