CHAPTER XIV

"On February 6, the 11th year of Wanli, 300,000 stones of grain were sold, and 150,000 taels of silver were obtained. In Xinyang Mansion, Wang Mingqing's prefect was 70,000 taels, and Ma Fu's Tongzhi was 60,000 taels. ”

"On June 21, the 11th year of Wanli, 500,000 stones of grain were sold, 250,000 taels of silver were obtained, Zhao Yiquan was the political envoy in Henan, and Zeng Jiang was 80,000 taels ......."

"On July 6, the twelfth year of Wanli, the gold mine in Xinyang County obtained a total of 100,000 gold in several years, Zhao Yiquan, the political envoy in Henan, 30,000 gold, Zeng Jiang 20,000 gold, Wang Mingqing, the prefect of the Faith Prefecture, 10,000 hardware, and 10,000 hardware ...... with Zhima."

"On September 3, the thirteenth year of Wanli, one million stones of grain were sold, and 500,000 taels ,......of silver were obtained."

"In March of the fourteenth year of Wanli, 1.5 million stones of grain were sold, and 750,000 ,......taels of silver were obtained."

This one by one, one by one, made Zhu Yidao and Dahan's faces worse and worse. For so many years, the grain in the Henan grain depot has been sold out by these rats! In case of any natural disaster in Henan, millions of people will be devastated! Millions of people! How many million people did the Ming Dynasty have? Not only did they sell grain from the grain depot on a large scale, but they even didn't let go of the gold from the gold mine and the tax money they collected, and several sets of imperial court teams in Henan Prefecture and County were all rotten.

According to the records, except for Qin Mi, the county governor, all of them are listed. It's not that Qin Mi is incorruptible, firstly, Qin Mi still has some bottom line as an official over the years, and secondly, Qin Mi has never been able to get into these big rats, in other words, Qin Mi is unbearable to be with these people, and these people don't trust Qin Mi at all! If it weren't for Qin Mi who had been ignoring what they had done all these years and turning a blind eye, I was afraid that Qin Mi would have been killed by them for various reasons.

"Do you want Qin Mi to know?" Dahan hesitated.

"Gotta let him know! Not only let him know, but also let him send this account book directly to the capital! Leave it to the emperor! Your Jinyi Guard must now divide a few people to protect Qin Mi day and night, and not let him find out. Now that the ledger is lost, Wang Decai will definitely go crazy, it's too late, I'm afraid we'll all be finished! "Zhu Yidao already knows that even he is in extreme danger now, and if he doesn't let the higher ones grasp this matter in time, even if they die, they won't stir up a little wave at all.

"You're looking here!" Dahan suddenly pointed to the records at the back of the ledger:

"In July of the fourteenth year of Wanli, two million stones of grain were sold, and the inner court intervened, and all the money was collected into its hub.

Crazy! It's utter madness! Dog-eat-dog to this point is no longer greedy and unrestrained.

"Immediately transcribe a copy of this, and the original must be sent directly to Jingshi immediately! handed over to Zhu Xixiao, the commander of Jinyiwei; A few of us must move immediately, it is already very unsafe here, and only by waiting for Lord Zhu to get the original can we save our lives! Zhu Yidao's mind at this time was not ordinarily sober. Once it comes to the palace, many things are difficult to do. It is necessary to ensure the face of the imperial court, and to investigate and punish the officials below, this kind of thing is not what these people should do. Lao Zhu knew that it had reached a critical juncture.

Wang Decai was completely crazy. He never thought that the account room would lose this account book, what was remembered in this account book? It's a powder keg! Once it explodes, he, Wang Decai, will not only have no bones left, but will also involve all the political envoys! The most important thing is that as soon as the matter comes out, how many heads have to land, and how many black yarns have to be replaced!

He immediately called the housekeeper Wang Fu: "Search for me immediately!" A county-wide raid! Gotta find those people out for me! Also, nailing Qin Mi's every move, even if it wasn't his instructions, he would definitely not be able to get out of it! Fast! ”

Wang Fu quietly took the order and left.

Qin Mi's head was full of cold sweat, dripping down his cheeks. Looking at the shocking ledger in his hand, his hands were trembling! This couldn't be better! It's all about success or failure! But this is also a fire pit, and if he is not careful, he Qin Mi's few heads are not enough to cut off.

Zhu Yidao looked at him calmly: "Lord Tangzun, what to do now is all up to you." I hope you can still remember the teachings of your mentor Zhang Juzheng in the past! ”

Qin Mi gritted his teeth and paced anxiously back and forth in the room, it was really difficult to make this decision. If he succeeds, he Qin Mi will not only be as simple as becoming an official and becoming a knight, but will also become famous! If he fails, he Qin Mi, including his own family, will be gone, the dream in his heart......

The big man stared at Qin Mi with burning eyes. His hand was quietly resting on his waist knife.

"Let's do this......" Qin Mi finally made up his mind.

More than a dozen fast horses of the county government, with Dahan and his men, galloped on the small streets of the county seat, and after a while, they arrived in front of Wang Decai's mansion, Dahan flew off his horse and roared: "Block the front door!" No one is allowed to enter or leave without my orders! ”

Wang Decai had already heard the movement at the gate. He never expected that Qin Mi would move so quickly. Now that account book shouldn't be in Qin Mi's hands, right? There was no reason for him to keep the powder keg in his hand. But to whom will he give? Straight to the Beijing Division? It will take at least a few days to go back and forth, right? That's enough time for a few days.

He quietly let a henchman go out of the dark passage and go directly to the mine to find ***.

But he swaggered open the door of the mansion and walked towards the big man: "I am the county magistrate of this county, I don't know what is going on with the county lord, and I actually come to invite people in such a formation?" ”

Dahan sneered and shouted: "On the order of the Tang Zun, please ask the county lord to come over to the mansion!" ”

Wang Decai didn't care at all, he Shi Shiran sat on a horse brought by the upper and lower people: "Please open the way ahead!" ”

When he arrived at the Qin Mansion, Qin Mi was already sitting in the hall, and when he saw Wang Decai arriving, he ordered with full anger: "Come on, show Lord Wang tea!" ”

Wang Decai went straight to Qin Mi: "What do you want?!" Do you have to make a good Xinyang County restless before you are willing? Didn't we work well together before? What's wrong with peace in the world! ”

"Lord Wang, please be calm. I'll show you something. Qin Mi beckoned, took the account book from the butler's hand, and gently handed it to Wang Decai's hand.

Wang Decai's face turned pale. What's the matter, didn't he give this thing to the top? What's the benefit of keeping this thing for himself? Is it trying to blackmail yourself? Divide the benefits from the middle?

"Lord Wang, since you have also recorded these things, it means that you still have a number in your heart. Do you really think that you can save your life with just this thing? Do you really think that the Yamen will let you go so easily because of this? ”

"Lord Qin. I, Wang, have also been here for many years, and I know the faces of these people. If you want to be Hai Rui, I won't stop you. But don't stand in my way. Thousands of miles of officials are only for money, and my Wang doesn't have much ambition, just enough for the rest of my life. As soon as you come out like this today, we will spread out and say, I will make my fortune, you will be your official, how about we enter the water without violating the river water? ”

"Lord Wang. It's impossible to do things without asking, but it's impossible to ask if you should or shouldn't. I only do what I have to do. ”

"Lord Qin! You've also been an official for many years, so don't say this to me! If you want to do something to shake the court, you can do something to shake the court, because someone has to want you to shake, you dare to resist, someone has to want you to resist, otherwise you can resist someone with a seven-grade county order...... You can't push down what the emperor wants to use, and you can't keep what the emperor wants to do. Wang Decai sneered and looked at Qin Mi with a sneering gaze.

"This world belongs to the emperor, and I, the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, are also the emperor! It's for the common people all over the world! It's not your Wang Decai's own! Nor are those people! Do you know how deep the water is in the imperial court...... You have me, I have you, the world is bad here, they exchange your life for silver, and the net worth of so many people in Henan for money, you have to protect them with all your heart, and you have to say that it is for the court and the national policy! What national policy, what mining tax, how much money can go into the treasury? …… Listen carefully, what heart, liver and lungs are in the stomachs of those people you are desperately trying to protect, and you can't be a fool when you die. Qin Mi looked at Wang Decai helplessly with a look of extreme pity, and asked him to approach the door of the side room.

In the room, I got the news and took the initiative to find Qin Mi***. The *** in the side room is spitting about what Wang Decai has done in anger over the years, the strokes, what should be said and what should not be said, and said to a person wearing a golden flying fish suit and carrying a Xiuchun knife at his waist. He was afraid that he would not be clean. Anyway, *** decided in his heart that this Zhu Yidao was the prince, and if he wanted to save his life, he couldn't care about that Wang Decai. The drum was broken and ten thousand people were beaten, and the wall fell down and everyone pushed it. Wang Decai's face outside became whiter and whiter the more he listened, and the more he listened, the more shocked he became!

He knew that he had been completely abandoned. For the sake of their own lives and their own future, those people either controlled themselves or abandoned themselves. But now, ***'s attitude has made it clear that no one will protect him. That account book not only did not become a talisman to save life, but became a clarion call for life.

Wang Decai was speechless. He rolled his eyes and fainted.

The *** who was still complaining in the room heard the sound outside, and came out to take a look suspiciously, and his brain crashed on the spot - he always thought that Wang Decai had been imprisoned.

After a long time, *** suddenly reacted, and he roared: "How can you do this!" How can you do that?! It's a big deal, it's a big dealβ€”"

Qin Mi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he called the housekeeper: "Send Gonggong Yang back to the house." ”

At this moment, one of Dahan's subordinates suddenly walked into the room: "Lord Tangzun, it's not a good thing!" Wang Decai's home...... There was a fire! ”
