……

In fact, only two people in the Manchu Dynasty now know Zhao Junchen's plan to use Huang Yourong's hands to remove the moths under the door.

One is Chen Dongxiang, who pretended to take refuge in Huang Yourong and handed over the list and evidence to Huang Yourong! In a way, he is the most critical person in Zhao Junchen's plan, and from the current point of view, Chen Dongxiang's task is quite complete.

And the other is Jiang Qian in Langzhong of the Ministry of Industry - Zhao Junchen is Tong Guò Jiang Qian, who collected the list of moths and incriminating evidence.

But Jiang Qian's task in this plan is not only that!

…………

At this time, with Jiang Qian appearing to preside over the overall situation, the feelings of the officials of the household department finally calmed down a little.

Although Jiang Qian knew it in his heart, he still pretended that he had just gotten the news, and on behalf of the officials of the household department, he asked Lu Langzhong, who reported the news: "Lord Lu, what is going on?" You speak slowly. ”

The name of this Langzhong of the household department is Lu Shunde, among the officials of the household department, he has always been known for being well-informed and well-connected, and he is barely a talent, and now he is being born in the early dynasty, and he is also the first to get the news -- but unfortunately he is too greedy, and he is also one of the moths in Zhao Junchen's eyes.

However, because Lu Shunde got the specific news and knew that something was wrong, he was still in a panic, but he kept saying: "I, I got the news from the palace, the young master Zhang Cheng and the imperial historian Liu Quan'an, impeached a total of nineteen officials from our household department and the Ministry of Industry in one go!" When, it's really a big deal! ”

Listening to Lu Shunde, he just kept repeating the initial sentence, but he just didn't say the main point. Obviously, it was already a mess, and a trace of helplessness flashed on Jiang Qian's face. I had to ask further: "Master Lu, don't panic, there is always a solution to the matter, you can tell me first, which of us have been impeached by the young master Zhang Cheng and the imperial historian Liu Quan'an?" ”

Jiang Qian's words can be said to have grasped the most concerned issue in the hearts of the household officials, and everyone was waiting for Lu Shunde's answer. The expressions were all apprehensive.

After hearing Jiang Qian's specific inquiry, Lu Shunde's answer finally got to the point, and replied: "I didn't ask about the Ministry of Industry, only in our household department, there are five Lang Zhong, two Wai Lang, and one director, respectively, Wei Lang Zhong Wei, Zhou Lang Zhong Zhou, Deng Lang Zhong Deng, Zhang Yuanwailang...... And me. ”

When talking about himself, Lu Shunde's expression seemed to be about to cry.

And after hearing Lu Shunde's list. The household officials who did not name them all showed relaxed expressions, while the household officials who were named were all more and more flustered, and their expressions were mostly similar to Lu Shunde.

Jiang Qian asked again: "Then do you know that the young master Zhang Cheng and the imperial historian Liu Quan'an." On what charges did he impeach his colleagues? ”

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Shunde finally replied: "It was the Huai River flood last year. ”

Hearing Lu Shunde's answer, a hint of sarcasm flashed in Jiang Qian's eyes, but he still asked knowingly: "Is it the Huai River flood last year?" How can it be? I remember that after the flood situation occurred at that time, Lord Shangshu immediately allocated the money to repair the embankment. Later, there was a flood disaster. But fire and water are ruthless, as it is. We are also helpless, but we still allocated the silver food for relief, although this matter was not handled by me personally, but I also remember clearly, what will be impeached here? ”

Lu Shunde - and those impeached household officials - all showed a weak look at this time, but at this point, they did not dare to hide anything anymore.

I only heard Lu Shunde hesitantly explain: "Master Jiang, you don't know, this is the case, the local officials who came to urge the silver at that time were quite rude, saying that the flood crisis, to withdraw the full amount of silver, the slightest disappointment, scolded our household and the Ministry of Industry are corrupt officials, I and a few colleagues planned to make it difficult for them, although they still allocated silver, but the time was delayed for a few days, and the amount of silver was only given less than eighty percent...... And the young master Zhang Cheng and the imperial historian Liu Quan'an, or felt that this caused the floods in the five states and eleven counties along the Huai River, so they impeached us in the early court. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Shunde was puzzled, and said: "However, we have done a very clean job in this matter, and there is absolutely no problem in the accounts, and the local yamen did not dare to offend our household department in order to get the next relief money, so they also admitted it and signed the accounts, it was impossible to leave a handle, but I don't know how the young master Zhang Cheng and the imperial historian Liu Quan'an got the news and evidence!" ”

…………

The news and evidence were naturally found by Jiang Qian and handed over to Zhao Junchen!

However, Jiang Qian naturally would not say anything about this.

Moreover, seeing that Lu Shunde was still unrepentant at such a point, just wondering how to leak the news and incriminating evidence, Jiang Qian couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

In fact, Lu Shunde's explanation obscures many key points.

In the past, the household department allocated money to other yamen, especially for large projects such as river work and relief, and never allocated the full amount, but withheld a part of it for the officials of the household department to be greedy for ink!

Of course, this is not only a problem of the household, the Ming Dynasty has been established for nearly 400 years, as the so-called "tree old must perish, decay must be moth", such interception has now become an unspoken rule in the officialdom, after the household department intercepted a part, the silver to the government, to the state, to the county, the local yamen at all levels will also intercept a part of the greedy ink, in the end, the silver really used to do practical things, has been left a very small part.

However, since Zhao Junchen served as the secretary of the household department, he has already ordered the officials of the household department to allocate the silver and grain needed by the local yamen in the future! At the same time, in order to appease the dissatisfaction of the household officials and make up for the losses of the household officials, Zhao Junchen gave the household officials many other benefits.

However, in the face of large sums of money coming in and out all day long, there are still many insatiable household officials who are secretly making things difficult and collecting kickbacks! Especially after Zuo Lanshan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, took refuge in Zhao Junchen, the two major yamen of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household were almost one. Because they no longer have to worry about the accounts, these people are becoming more and more unscrupulous.

Like last year's Huai River flood. In fact, some officials of the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry joined forces to ask the local yamen for kickbacks, but because the kickbacks were too much, there was a dispute with the local yamen, and in the end, the local yamen was delayed in repairing the embankment and caused the Huai River flood!

Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, above officialdom, like this kind of thing that delays the people of the world for their own selfishness. There is never a shortage.

…………

Thinking like this in his heart, Jiang Qian's expression suddenly became stern, and he asked, "So, you deceived and acted on your own in this matter?" Lord Shangshu, he didn't know the news from beginning to end? ”

Hearing Jiang Qian's questioning, Lu Shunde and other household officials involved in this matter became more and more flustered, but there were no household officials involved in this matter. is also like Jiang Qian's expression became stern - bullying superiors and subordinates, acting without authorization, although everyone is doing this, but they all hate the people around them doing this, especially when it will affect themselves!

"Shang, Shangshu, he ...... I really don't know about it, but after we get the benefits, we don't dare to enjoy it exclusively. We deliberately doubled the amount of silver given to Lord Shangshu a few years ago! Lu Shunde hurriedly explained.

Jiang Qian suddenly sighed and said, "In this case, in today's early court, Lord Shangshu is unaware of the details and caught off guard. I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you, maybe Lord Lian Shangshu himself. will be blamed by His Majesty! ”

"That'...... So what to do? ”

Not only Lu Shunde, but all the household officials involved in this matter asked so.

"What should I do?" Jiang Qian showed his resolute side, and said sharply: "Things have come to this point, I'm afraid that the three law divisions will soon come to our household department to arrest people!" All of you offenders should remember to me that after you arrive at the Three Law Divisions, you can confess your sins about the Huai River flood, or you can die! But other than that, no matter how much the Three Law Divisions ask you, they will never be able to say anything else about our household department! In particular, you can't implicate Lord Shangshu! ”

This is another task of Jiang Qian, to warn all the impeached household officials that they must not talk too much after being caught, and they must not implicate others!

After hearing the warning, most of Lu Shunde and the others looked away, and they didn't dare to look directly at Jiang Qian—obviously they all had the idea of betraying others after being arrested to make meritorious contributions.

Seeing the expressions of Lu Shunde and the others, Jiang Qian sneered: "You have to think clearly, although your crime this time is not small, it is also the punishment of demotion and exile, as long as Lord Shangshu intercedes in front of His Majesty, you will not be guilty to death!" If you have the intention of making meritorious contributions and betraying your colleagues, you must first understand that you have participated in all the things you know, and even if you say all those things, no matter how much merit you make, it will not be worth the sin you have committed! At that time, maybe it was just a punishment of demotion and exile, but in the end it turned into a family raid! ”

After a pause, Jiang Qian said again: "What's more, if it's just you who are trapped, there are also Master Shangshu, as well as me and other colleagues, who can help take care of you in the future and take care of your family for you, but if you implicate everyone because you committed such a small thing, maybe any of your colleagues will be dissatisfied and will vent their anger on your family before being arrested, you have to think about these pros and cons first!" ”

Insatiable people are often selfish people.

Therefore, in order to prevent these people from eventually implicating the entire household, Zhao Junchen must also send Jiang Qian here to warn them.

But this kind of person is actually the easiest to control, as long as the pros and cons are analyzed to them, with their selfish character, they will naturally stick to the most beneficial choice for them!

Seeing that under his own warning, all the impeached household officials were changing their expressions, Jiang Qian smiled and said: "Of course, I also know that your lords are used to living a comfortable life on weekdays, once you are arrested by the three law divisions, I am afraid that it will not be tortured, even if it is just to put the torture instruments out to scare it, the mouths of your adults may not dare to be strict, I have thought of a way here, not only can you avoid the disaster of punishment, if you are lucky, maybe you can finally avoid the crime, Would you like to hear it? ”
