CHAPTER XXVI

Wang Mingqing was losing his temper in the room, and he suddenly got an urgent report, and the news from the palace said that someone might do something to him, but he was strange that he didn't get any news from his side. How is this possible? Could it be that the pipeline over there has been sabotaged?

If it is destroyed, how can you not receive any news at all? Unless the emperor ordered Jinyiwei to do it, but the emperor didn't know what he had done at all. Over the years, from top to bottom, all the way to Jinyiwei, they have been well tied, and the amount of silver given to these people every year alone is no less than millions.

There is a direct line to Mongolia in the palace, but the food source below can only rely on Wang Mingqing to enrich them, logically speaking, if you do this kind of thing, it is enough to kill as many times as you want, but unfortunately, many people are just turning a blind eye, and some people are blatantly trying to take the initiative to help them, in fact, they just want to get a piece of the pie.

Wang Mingqing slowly leaned back on the sandalwood chair, and the maid beside him moved over very obediently, rubbing his temples neither slowly nor lightly.

It's not easy for me to be the prefect! On the one-third of an acre of land in Runing, he Wang Mingqing is already a veteran of the Three Dynasties.

Since the Jiajing era, Wang Mingqing has always been here, and at that time, he was still ambitious, and he still wanted to serve the country and the people, but after Longqing Zhang Juzheng was appointed as the first assistant, he began to reform with great fanfare, and Wang Mingqing began to be disappointed in officialdom.

What reforms, what worries about the country and the people, he Zhang Juzheng just wants to set up a memorial arch when he is **, and he doesn't see how many people he has offended by his practices, if he is not in a high position, the emperor and the queen mother are deeply relied on, and he would have been carried out a long time ago. In the eyes of those big guys, he is just a little ant. However, Wang Mingqing is still more careful, and it is always not wrong to be careful to make the 10,000-year-old ship.

This is also the reason why, as soon as he learned that the line was broken on the side of Wang Ling, Wang Mingqing decisively gave up that batch of grain. If the food is gone, you can do it again, and if the life is gone, there will be nothing.

Ma Fu is just a nouveau riche, how can he be compared with himself, a two-list jinshi? Wang Mingqing looks down on Ma Fu from the bottom of his bones, but this person has a lot of brains and means, and there are many people in the house who are his, and the most important thing is that when it comes to engaging in evil and crooked ways, Wang Mingqing thinks that he is still not as rich as Ma.

This person seems to have been born for these evil crooked ways, and there are many things that Wang Mingqing doesn't dare to think about or do, and it's not a problem in this person's hands. Heaven is fair, since Wang Mingqing is already an official and local official, of course, he must be deprived of his wisdom in many things.

Slowly, Wang Mingqing fell asleep. These days he doesn't have a few days to spend in peace. It's time to take a break. Even if the sky falls, I'll have to get a good night's sleep today. Xiao Man's technique is still very good......

Suddenly, there was an explosion, and the door of his mansion was slammed open, and then a group of brocade guards dressed in golden flying fish suits and holding sharp blades rushed in viciously!

"Don't move! Lao Tzu only needs Wang Mingqing alone! If anyone doesn't have long eyes and touches the master's knife, he can only blame himself for not having green smoke on his ancestral grave! "One guy sweared.

Where is this still Jinyiwei, it's just a group of bandits who rob houses! Zhu Yidao thought very uncomfortably, but he couldn't help it, the little flags told him that every time they carried out the arrest task, they were so arrogant and domineering, and no one expressed their displeasure!

Who would dare to express displeasure! Resisting in front of Jin Yiwei is simply looking for death! These officials are more afraid of death than anyone else, and they will never jump over the wall unless they have to.

Zhu Da was excited! He's been there! I just listened to him babbling and commanding the Jinyi guards to search here and there, and soon pulled out Wang Mingqing, who was only wearing underwear.

Wang Mingqing, who was embarrassed, knew that his general situation was gone, and he shouted vigorously when he was pressed to the ground: "It's the master who came to me alone!" Nothing to do with my family! ”

The brocade guard next to him immediately gave him a knife: "I don't need you to do things!" Be honest! ”

Ma Fu's situation is not much better than Wang Mingqing's. The Yamen has long been controlled, all the officials have been concentrated, and the Jinyi guards who are in charge of guarding them claim that the prefect and the same acquaintance have committed a big crime, as long as these little ants do not act rashly, they will definitely not worry about their lives again, and no one will have trouble with them.

In this way, Runing Mansion was completely controlled, but there was still a hidden danger, that is, the guard post stationed at the edge of the mansion. But Jiang Fei told Zhu Yidao that the guard was not worth mentioning at all, and with their kind of combat strength, even if they stood at the door with a knife by themselves, no one would dare to come out.

Ma Fu quickly explained the location of the hidden silver. This man is really cunning like a fox, he seems to have known that he has such a day, and he has long been prepared, as soon as someone rushes into the house, he immediately makes everyone give up resistance and surrender himself. This kind of attitude is rarely seen by the Jinyi guards, Xiaoqi said, this kind of talent is a person who is proficient at home, and it is not harmful for him to maintain this attitude. If he gives the Jinyi guards another meaning, the crime reported is not big, and his life will not be required, and his whole family will be saved. O wise man!

The place where the silver was hidden was in the pond in the backyard of the Yamen.

A group of brocade guards exhausted the water from the pond and dug up the silt below, revealing boxes of large sandalwood boxes wrapped in oilcloth.

opened the wooden box, and the white flash inside made everyone gasp: twenty large boxes, each box contained 300,000 taels of silver, and it took a long time to complete the inventory: these silvers are the total amount of taxes in the two years of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu's big eyes widened, and he looked at these white flowers and silver steadily, full of color, which was a standard official silver.

Then his face turned purple to red, and finally to pale. It's not that he hasn't seen silver, but he's never seen such a huge amount of silver. Six million taels of silver can ensure the full supply of various expenses of the Ming Dynasty for at least one year. And you can have a lot of money left.

These rats!

"Rats are there every year, and they can't be cleaned every year; Corrupt officials are killed in the court, and there are corrupt officials in the court! Zhu Yidao said with emotion beside him, he was also surprised by the audacity of these people. These people also don't want to think about how much silver he can take with him once he provokes a popular rebellion in the local area.

"Someone! Bring Wang Mingqing and Ma Fu over! Zhu Dazhong shouted angrily, he couldn't suppress the extreme resentment in his heart, these people are simply the scum of my Ming Dynasty! No wonder the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to vigorously punish officials for corruption, and if they didn't fight corruption, the Ming Dynasty would die in their hands!

Soon Wang Ma and the two were brought over, Wang Mingqing also looked at Zhu Da with a smile on his face, he knew that he was not so easy to die.

"Are you laughing at me for not being able to kill you?" Zhu Da stared at Wang Mingqing with a distorted face, and the momentum of the long-lost superior was once again waved out without a bit.

"You...... Who is it? Wang Mingqing was a little flustered. Even the royal relatives do not necessarily have this kind of power, and this kind of momentum is definitely not something that people of this age can emit.

"In front of me, tell me all the origin of this silver!" Zhu Yijun gritted his teeth and said these words word by word.

The surrounding brocade guards immediately fell to their knees.

Wang Mingqing and Ma Fu are like five thunders!

The emperor, it turned out that the emperor personally investigated the case! It's all over!

No wonder the emperor hasn't been to the court for so long, no wonder there is no news in the palace at all...... Wang Mingqing no longer had the energy to think about anything else. He has completely lost the ability to think.

Only Ma Fu can still maintain a little sobriety, he suddenly became clever, knelt on the ground with a pop, kowtowed like pounding garlic: "The emperor spares his life, the emperor!" This is all what Wang Mingqing coerced me to do! If I don't, he'll kill my whole family...... The whole of Runing Mansion has been bought by him, you must administer justice for me! ……”

Zhu Yijun didn't have the heart to care about him, just stared at Wang Mingqing: "Say!" You were the one who assassinated me on the way to Runing Mansion, right? Well, that's good! You're guts! ”

Wang Mingqing looked at Zhu Yijun in horror, and looked at Ma Fufu, who had already knocked his head bleeding, in disbelief, gritted his teeth and turned his head: "It's him!" It was his idea, and it was the soldiers he transferred! ”

Ma Fu was also frightened by this sentence. To assassinate the emperor, even a hundred heads are not enough to cut off!

Zhu Yidao also knelt on the ground, quietly tilting his head to look at Wanli. This is a real emperor! I thought I would never have the chance to see Wanli in this life! Unexpectedly, he didn't worry about his silver, and personally disguised himself as Jinyi Wei Qianhu to investigate the case!

On the way, I actually hooked up with him...... Zhu Yidao didn't dare to think about it. It's really over now, Shen Hui was sent back to Xinyang County and didn't know whether she was alive or dead, and she was about to be clicked by this money-hungry Wanli!

Lao Zhu remembered that he let Wanli run in the front when he was training, let Wanli cook by himself when eating, and put his feet on his stomach when he slept...... No wonder Jiang Fei's eyes were so strange when he looked at Lao Zhu at that time...... Dare to love this guy knew it from the beginning, but he didn't tell himself because of Wanli's instructions!

Wang Ma and the others were taken down for careful interrogation. Zhu Yidao, who was thinking wildly, didn't pay attention to the different gaze that Wanli had when he looked at him.

The next thing is much easier, taking over the entire Runing Mansion, Jiang Fei is responsible for controlling the local guard, and the guy who was half-lying on the ground before is in charge of the civil affairs of the entire region, Lao Zhu only knew at this time that that guy was originally a literati, but he stayed in Jinyiwei for too long, so that everyone regarded him as a soldier, but no one knew that his profession was to join the army.
