Wu Mengming, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, one of Emperor Chongzhen's henchmen.

He is greedy for money and has no intention of playing with power, and since he attached himself to the little eunuch, he has been bent on money, but he is not as blatant as before, and he does not dare to be so blatant.

Everything has its advantages and disadvantages, Chang Yu is in the limelight, and it is good to be attached to his big tree, but he is also jealous because of this, especially because he has too many enemies in Beijing, and countless eyes are staring at him and the people who are attached to him.

So Wu Mengming had to be careful, fortunately, he learned a trick from Chang Yu, the more he dodged and dodged, the more attention he would see, it was better to take it openly, provided that he had to set up a name so that people could not catch the handle.

For example, Guozhang Zhou Kui's 100,000 taels of silver originally wanted to use him to make a little eunuch so that he could open the door to Queen Zhou, but Chang Yu didn't accept it, so Guozhang willingly donated the silver to Dongchang for military supplies.

So, no matter how Zhou Kui bites now, the Dongchang side will not admit it, and the silver in black and white will be voluntarily donated to the yamen and ask for bribes from individuals.

Wu Mengming has been very busy lately, and he has been very busy.

In addition to leading the three departments in the fight against corruption and corruption, he also had to personally grasp the issue of public security in the capital.

After all, at this time, the capital is empty, and the forces of all parties are ready to move, not only to investigate the spies, but also to monitor the refugees in case of further chaos, and more importantly, to personally sit in the yamen to guard the Tartar to commit the crime!

And these just make Wu Mengming tired, but what makes him upset is the endless stream of people who come to intercede every day, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate have joined forces to fight corruption, and everyone in various departments is in danger, in short, there are few clean ones.

It's like investigating corruption in the army, knocking on the small one to catch the second, and the big guy has to deal with it carefully, and then decide how to deal with it after all kinds of network breaks.

In fact, the salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty were low, and the general small Beijing officials were more hard, but the big rats were very fat, so the three departments had no interest in the small Beijing officials, mainly for the big rats.

But the background of the big rat is not simple, most of them are the real power bosses in the three divisions and six departments, and the relationship network is by no means ordinary, although it is not to the sky, but there is no shortage of people related to the cabinet, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and even the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, which is very troublesome to deal with.

This made Wu Mengming a headache, so it was better to go out with the little eunuch and steal it secretly!

Although many people who came to Wu Mengming to talk about the relationship did not come empty-handed, and some even offered a large price, which made him very excited, but he really didn't dare to accept it.

This feeling was very painful, and Wu Mengming simply refused to see the guests.

"Lord Wu, Wang Zhixin asked someone to invite you to the house as a guest" The henchman took out a slap from his arms and slapped the little golden Buddha: "It is said that it was borrowed from you last year and now the thing is returned to the original owner."

Wu Mengming's eyes lit up suddenly, and he took the Golden Buddha in his hand and played with it carefully, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, but finally sighed and threw the Golden Buddha to his henchmen: "The old guy can't sit still and comes to find my way, although this Golden Buddha is priceless, it is far from enough, and the thing returned to him, so he said that I will come tonight."

Wu Mengming is no stranger to Wang Zhixin, this old guy did a lot of evil and made money when he was in charge of Dongchang, but he had nothing to do with him, because at that time, the commander of Jinyiwei was Luo Yangxing, and Wu Mengming was still nameless, which was not as good as his eyes.

Who would have thought that thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi have now begged for their own heads.

Wu Gaofeng will come, the flowers and butterflies will come, Wu Mengming will cross Erlang's legs, if other people are not good to fish, this old gelding will be sent to the door

Don't fish for nothing, don't fish!

It was dark early in the summer, and the time was almost past and there was still light, and the two family members at the door of the big house in Gongxian Hutong looked at each other with a slightly anxious look.

A horse-drawn carriage came at the entrance of the alley, followed by five or six big men, which provoked the neighbors in the alley who were chatting in the cool air at the door of their homes to be curious and a little afraid, pointing and whispering.

One of the two housekeepers at the door of the mansion rushed forward, and the other hurriedly reported to the house, and after a while, the king's heart trembled and walked out of it, and the carriage also arrived at the door.

"Wu ......" As soon as Wang Zhixin opened his mouth, he saw Wu Mengming hurriedly get out of the car and raise his hand to interrupt him and whispered: "Say it inside!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes, it said, please please ......" Wang Zhixin hurriedly invited Wu Mengming into the mansion, and took out some silver from his arms to reward Wu Mengming's entourage.

The banquet is a private banquet, and there is no accompanying guest for Wang Zhixin and Wu Mengming.

The dishes are plentiful, including three dishes that are Wu Mengming's favorites, a plate of fried gold ingots, a plate of steamed silver ingots, and a smorgasbord of jewels and jade.

"Lord Wu, the Ming people don't say dark words, our family was stained with some oil and water when the East Factory was at the beginning, but there is no need to kill it all, how can I hear that not only the income is confiscated, but also the law, our family can not afford to toss at this age, so let's say how much our family stained at the beginning, how much is now spit out, just ask for a stable old age, for the sake of the East Factory, just let our family go." Wang Xinxin's words can be regarded as digging out his heart.

"The prince is bright, and I Wu is not hiding it" Wu Mengming took a lot of effort to withdraw his gaze from the three dishes: "Now the three yamen have joined forces to solve the case, but they are all real, you must have heard of this, and it is not aimed at you, small fish and shrimp are generally beaten and warned and let go, but the big mouse is not so easy to get out."

"Lord Wu, what kind of big rat is a little old man who is an official in the palace, and now he wants to ......live in peace in his old age" Wang Zhixin sighed, and pointed to the three dishes on the table: "This matter will be yours, and the more than 30,000 taels that I was greedy for at that time will be handed over even if this matter is over, my old body and bones really can't eat in prison."

Haha, Wu Mengming couldn't help laughing: "Father-in-law, I praised you just now, why am I a three-year-old Wu again, you were the richest man in the famous king at that time, only 30,000 taels of silver?" You're amused."

"Hey, hey, the rumors kill people" Wang Zhixin slapped his thigh and said with a bitter face: "Dongchang has been suppressed by the government and the opposition since Wei Zhongxian, where will the little old man get any oil and water, and the name of the richest man is only relatively speaking, the internal officials are poor and the world knows that they may not save a few taels of silver in their lives, and I am not the richest man compared to them with 30,000 taels of money!" ”

Wang Zhixin's words are sincere and well-founded, but Wu Mengming was unmoved and even sneered, picked up the wine glass and drank alone: "Princess, do you know how many people outside are lining up to deliver food to Wu every day, and the portion is only a lot more, but Wu can't see it, just look at the fact that you are the old man of Dongchang, and you are specially coming to the house to disturb, and it is also for the emperor to understand the old feelings, you are such a hospitable?" ”

Wang Zhixin was shocked in his heart, listening to his words, it was difficult to understand that the emperor had secretly instructed something, since it was so, he would accept it if he saw it, so he gritted his teeth: "I can't hide it, the old man still has a little surplus in his hand, but it is only 50,000 taels when he is full" Seeing Wu Mengming's unkind face, he hurriedly said: "There are two sets of three-entry mansions in Beicheng, and there are 120 acres of fertile land outside the city, and there is nothing left to hide!" If Lord Wu doesn't believe it, you can investigate thoroughly, and it's all yours if you find out."

Seeing him say this, Wu Mengming believed: "The mansion and land are confiscated, and the silver is confiscated, but Wu does not do anything wrong, how about you leave 5,000 silver for the elderly?" ”

"Ah, five thousand taels, this, can Lord Wu ......" Wang Zhixin's face was painful, and Wu Mengming coughed lightly: "Wang Gonggong, be content and happy, you have no heirs and no queens, and these five thousand taels are enough for you to support your old age, if you are not satisfied, you can go to the edict prison in Dongchang to recuperate in your old age!" ”

At that time, Wu Mengming left the Wang family's mansion with a full stomach, and couldn't help humming a little song while patting the box next to him in the carriage, and then he seemed to be really proud today, but he didn't know that he was sneered at when he heard with the little eunuch later, and he was angry and looking for the king's heart, which is a later story.
