"Lord Prefect, even if these tens of thousands of taels of silver were not deceived from the hands of the Fourth Highness, even with your money, it is estimated that it will be difficult to obtain so many silver taels, right?" Ma Sanbao squinted his eyes, and did not rush to verify these silver taels, waiting for the Beiping prefect to truthfully recruit him in front of him.

"Your Royal Highness, the little one who has been the prefect for so many years, always has a little bit of his own private business, this little money, exactly..."

"What is this?" The prefect of Peking subconsciously looked forward, only to see that the symbols on the silver taels gradually changed into the Chinese character "resist corruption"!

Seeing the words on the silver taels, the prefect of Beiping sat on the ground, the white-haired old man was pale, he never thought that the silver taels of the four highnesses had done tricks and feet, and now this fire is not only the words on the silver taels, but also the greedy heart of the prefect of Beiping.

"Hey, I didn't expect that I would be planted in the body of a dime boy, I knew that you would come back from the front line so quickly, so I bought the other hospital early to retire." The prefect of Peking sighed helplessly, his eyes were full of regret, but what was the use of regret? The evidence is conclusive, and it is in front of us.

"The prefect doesn't explain?" Ma Sanbao looked at the recruited prefect of Beiping and said with a smile.

"What else is there to explain this, you have all found evidence, I estimate that soon the account book will be turned out by your people, in my life, I really only care about interests, but I forgot that my position was sent by the imperial court, and the water can carry the boat and overturn the boat, after all, it is in your hands that the boat capsizes." The prefect of Beiping sighed helplessly, he spent his whole life in order to collect a lot of money from the people, and the maker spent money to do things, thinking that the fourth highness Zhu Di would not investigate and punish himself, but he ignored the supervision of the imperial history around him.

Supervising the imperial history, the nine-grade official position, is only the size of a sesame official, but in terms of power, it is no less than the prime minister of Zhengyipin, thinking that at the beginning, Shang Wei, who was the prime minister, needed to be supervised by Ma Sanbao, not to mention a three-grade Beiping prefect.

"Take it away!" Ma Sanbao beckoned and sent the surrounding officials to send the Beiping prefect to prison, and even the property and silver, except for the part belonging to Zhu Di, were all handed over to the state treasury.

The reason why Ma Sanbao was in a hurry to make a move on the prefect of Beiping was also because he received a hint from Zhu Yuanzhang, just some time ago when they arrived in Beiping City, Zhu Yuanzhang sent someone to Beiping City to send some hints to Ma Sanbao, that is, to use his identity and position to conduct a supervision in Beiping City, what Ma Sanbao could think of was naturally the Beiping prefect of Beiping.

The prefect of Peking guessed his fate early, but he never expected it to come so quickly, originally he planned to buy another courtyard to avoid the limelight, but he was still shackled and sent to prison.

"This Beiping is not just a problem of the prefect, the foundation is rotten, how many officials came to us at the beginning? It must have something to do with this Beiping prefect, but unfortunately, we only know about the Beiping prefect, and we don't know anything about other officials, so it's even more difficult to investigate. Ma Sanbao said that there were many officials who greeted him and Zhu Di at the beginning, most of them were related to the Beiping prefect, after all, these officials were all on the same line as the Beiping prefect.

"It's over, the prefect of Beiping shouldn't have been brought to justice so early, what if other officials were allowed to run away?" Ma Sanbao suddenly patted his head and woke up, but unfortunately it was too late, the officers and soldiers had already taken the Beiping prefect to prison, once the news was released, there would definitely be many officials who fled Beiping City overnight, which will make Ma Sanbao's work more difficult.

As a superintendent of the imperial history, he found that his actions were a little unfavorable for the first time, and he should stabilize the Beiping prefect and then thoroughly investigate the original officials, and send them away together, but he arrested the Beiping prefect first, which is very likely to cause the officials behind to notice, after all, other officials have nothing to do with him, and he doesn't even know what positions these officials are, which is much more difficult than the Beiping prefect.

Hearing Ma Sanbao's words, Zhu Di slowly woke up, "What the virtuous brother said is very true, are we considered to have lost a big one because of a small one?" If this can be wiped out of corrupt officials, maybe there will be other merits without military merits! ”

Zhu Di's desire for merit Ma Sanbao couldn't be clearer, his eldest brother Zhu Biao is his biggest contender for the throne, but unfortunately, Zhu Biao has long been made the crown prince, Zhu Di wants to compete with Zhu Biao, and it takes great effort and enough merit to attract the attention of his father.

Beiping City, because the prefect was arrested, immediately attracted the attention of the people, the people have talked about the topic of the prefect, for the prefect of Beiping, the people have a lot of bitter water want to pour out, for a while, the whole Beiping City seems to have changed the sky, the officials are happy and sad, the prefect is in prison, obviously a new prefect is needed, for the selection of the new prefect, immediately aroused the interest of many officials, after all, it is not easy to get ahead in Beiping.

The gossip in the teahouse made Ma Sanbao mention the design of the previous newspaper to Zhu Di again, the newspaper has no news in the whole Ming Dynasty, if there is a chance to publish, it will definitely get a certain amount of money and silver in Beiping and other big cities in the Ming Dynasty, what gossip news, war tracking, are good topics.

"Brother Xian, you are too business-minded, if you don't mention it to me, I will almost forget the newspaper we said in Nanjing City, so I will go to the bag that recruits talented people and is proficient in gossip, hehe, what was this thing called last time? Newspaper? I'll arrange it right away! After making money, Zhu Di is wealthy, Ma Sanbao has a business plan Zhu Di will keep it in mind, he never refutes Ma Sanbao's business plan, after all, Ma Sanbao earned him a lot of silver taels, besides, after there is a newspaper, they can also know more gossip, why not? If public opinion could be spread in the first time, Hu Pengju might not have been able to leave Nanjing City.

Moreover, the cleanup of corruption in Beiping that Ma Sanbao and Zhu Di are about to do will also become big news in Beiping.

Before leaving the teahouse, Zhu Di hurriedly arranged for his subordinates to find suitable for publishing paper and talented people who knew and were proficient in gossip, not only that, but he even found a lot of printed editions, the most needed for publishing newspapers is movable type printing version, every newspaper needs a lot of text, movable type printing is the best choice, after all, Daming does not have a so-called printer, can not quickly print out a newspaper.

When it comes to business, Zhu Di is unambiguous, for the sake of silver taels, as long as he does not exceed Zhu Di's bottom line, Zhu Di can arrange properly in a short time, after all, he can earn hundreds of thousands of silver taels in a few months, Zhu Di himself does not have this ability, everything needs Ma Sanbao's assistance.

For a while, Ma Sanbao was a little helpless, he just mentioned it casually, but it aroused Zhu Di's enthusiasm, now the two of them were busy, not only busy with the opening of the newspaper, but also busy with the investigation of corruption in Beiping, and ready to be transferred to the front line at any time, he couldn't wait to be able to separate three of himself to complete these things at the same time, and when he came to Daming, he even felt that he was busier than before.

The spring in Beiping is quietly approaching, the climate is no longer so thorough, in one day, the entire Beiping government is like a mess of porridge, the sudden appearance of the newspaper made many officials give up the idea of escaping, at this time to escape, obviously will become the center of public opinion, Ma Sanbao himself did not expect that he let Zhu Di prepare the newspaper be self-defeating, so that the officials in Beiping gave up the decision to escape.

The prison in Beiping is much more desolate than the prison in Nanjing, but the cell prepared for the Beiping prefect is indeed the most luxurious single room, which is not arranged by Ma Sanbao and Zhu Di, but prepared by Beiping officials for the Beiping prefect, after all, the Beiping prefect was also the face of Beiping City before, and the largest official position in Beiping City should also enjoy such treatment.

Compared with Hu Weiyong's downfall, the life of the Beiping prefect in prison is very comfortable, every day is good to eat and drink hospitality, no one to interrogate him, when Ma Sanbao came to the prison, seeing the good life of the Beiping prefect, I can't help but feel a little sorry for Hu Pengju and Hu Weiyong, who were also imprisoned at the beginning, and the treatment of the two is not comparable to this Beiping prefect.

"Your Excellency, can you give me a list? Is that the list of officials who joined you to greet me and the Fourth Highness at the beginning? Ma Sanbao said.

"This matter has nothing to do with them, so don't pursue it. I've also heard that there is now a thing called a newspaper outside, and now this Beiping knows that their prefect is in prison, hey, in terms of controlling public opinion and public sentiment, I still can't compare to the Fourth Highness! The prefect of Beiping sighed, he had long heard that his reputation in Beiping was very bad, but in Beiping, he was the official with the highest power in the entire Beiping, and other officials were not worth mentioning at all in front of him, because of this, the prefect of Beiping has not taken the people's feelings as a thing, and now, the wall is down and everyone pushes it, and he has heard that his image in the mouth of the people has been degraded to what extent, he especially admires the newspaper issued by Zhu Di and Ma Sanbao in his heart, without the assistance of these two, maybe the news of his imprisonment will come later.

"The prefect is very well-informed, it's okay, if you don't recruit, it's okay, I can ask other officials to give me a list, but frankly, leniency and strictness are the purpose of His Majesty to me, I don't know what the consequences of your failure to recruit are, but I will definitely not let you live such a comfortable life again." Suddenly, Ma Sanbao's face sank, and the harmless little faces of humans and animals became a lot gloomy, which frightened the prefect of Beiping.
