Late at night, in the same humble house in Yanzhou City, the two men met again last time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The person with an accent in the capital said: "Today is really dangerous, I was almost locked up in the yamen." Fortunately, it came out today, otherwise there would be no way to end it, and maybe His Highness would have noticed the clues. ”

After a pause, he complained again: "I really can't imagine that His Highness would order people on the first day of arriving in Yanzhou City, it is really negligent." ”

The man with a mountain selenium accent said, "Who would have thought? Even if Qi Tai and Pu Shan arrived in Yanzhou City a day earlier, they should only be aware of the problem, how could they dare to take people according to this? ”

The person with the accent in the capital said: "The matter has come to this point, and it is useless to talk more." It's just that you are only involved in Yanzhou Mansion, and those officials who eat and take cards are not counted, will it make His Highness suspicious? ”

The person with a mountain selenium accent said: "That's unthinkable, if I come forward and someone from the Yanzhou Mansion goes into the water, then once the case is discovered, won't I be exposed?" You have come to contact, for more than a year, and that's all it can be. ”

The person with the accent in the capital said, "Let your family hide it, be careful." ”

The person with a mountain selenium accent asked: "I've always wondered, has another mountain selenium person in our Yanzhou Mansion been pulled into the water by you?" ”

The man with a capital accent said, "Guess? Then he laughed.

============================================================

Three days later, Guo Zhen brought the confession of the officials of King Lu Sanwei to Yun Xi.

Yun Xi looked through their confessions and asked, "How many officials are involved?" ”

Guo Zhen replied: "Your Royal Highness, King Lu Sanwei has two commanders, four commanders and acquaintances, ten commanders, five Wei Zhenfu, nine thousand households and nine deputy thousand households, a total of thirty-nine officials above the fifth grade, only He Yu has never received money, and the other officials are all accepting money. ”

In the Ming Dynasty, the standard one guard was a commander, two commanders were the same knowledge, four commanders were servants, two guards were calmed down, and five thousand households were served. Now King Lu's three guards are incomplete.

"The main culprits are Zhu Wan and Zhang Qin, who copied two thousand taels of gold, two thousand taels of silver, and a large amount of treasure money, grain and jewelry from Zhu Wan's house; Although the things copied out of Zhang Qin's house are not as good as those in Zhu Wan's house, they also have a lot of property. ”

Yun Xi said hatefully: "These two must follow the method of the emperor's grandfather and peel the skin and grass." ”

Guo Zhen continued: "There are also Xiao Fengming and other commanders who know and do things, and they also have a lot of money and goods at home, and the money alone is more than 5,000 yuan; Several Zhenfu and Qianhu and others received not much money, but there are also differences, according to the experience of handling and other people, in the past two years, there has been a thousand households in the central guard to receive more than 3,000 yuan of money. ”

"The thousands of households recommended by He Yu Zhenfu Yang Ben and Zhenfu Cao Yu did not receive much money, they should only have three or four hundred yuan, and thousands of households and deputy thousand households only received four or five hundred yuan."

Yun Xi flipped through the statistics of the property received by each person, thought about it again, and said: "The limit is 600 guan, and if it is less than 600 guan, the official will be demoted, and I will explain it to Your Majesty; 600 to 3,000 guan will be given to practice one in vain, and no family members will be implicated; If it is more than 3,000 times, it will be beheaded, and those whose families are not involved in the matter will be sent to Fengyang to farm, and those involved will be exiled to the border gates; Zhu Wan and Zhang Qin, peeling the skin and grass, the execution of those involved in the family, and the exile of those who were not involved. ”

"Make a list of the cleared houses and land, hand it over to the Yanzhou government, and let the Yanzhou government return it to the people. The houses and land of these officials confiscated this time were all sold, except for the property of the government; Forget it, let the new commander appointed by the imperial grandfather deal with it. The money was counted and handed over to the Yanzhou Mansion, so that the Yanzhou Mansion could send it to the capital with this year's autumn grain. ”

After instructing the disposal of the property, Yun Xi asked again: "The officials of Yanzhou Mansion and Ziyang County, in addition to Zou Ji, are there anything else involved?" ”

Guo Zhen replied: "The officials of Ziyang County and Yanzhou Mansion are involved in many things; Among the officials, there is a pusher in Yanzhou Prefecture and a master in Ziyang County, and there are no other officials involved. ”

"Huh?" Yun Xi was puzzled: Ziyang County is a lower-level government, but there are still two officials involved, and Yanzhou Mansion is a higher-level government, but only pushers are involved, which is not normal.

Yun Xi said: "You go down, send someone to call Qi Tai and Qin Song over." Guo Zhen answered the promise.

After a while, Qin Song and Qi Tai came. Qi Tai asked, "What did His Highness call us for?" ”

Yun Xi said: "Guo Zhen has almost tried the case, these are confessions, and some other things; And I plan to limit it to 600 guan ,......, exile border without involvement. You plan a recital to the capital, how to explain this matter to the capital; It is estimated that the letter sent to the emperor's grandfather three days ago has arrived, and it is necessary to find out the matter as soon as possible. ”

Qi Tai promised. Then he looked at the thing, and then said, "Your Highness, this Yanzhou Mansion is only involved in the magistrate?" ”

Yun Xi said: "I also wonder, but since these officials of the three guards have already confessed, do they deliberately leave one person not to confess?" Or an official of the Yanzhou government? This doesn't make sense. ”

Qi Tai thought about it and felt that it was very unreasonable, but he couldn't think of any other situation. Yun Xi knew that Qi Tai was very busy acting as the commander of Ziyang County, and Lao Zhu allowed too few officials in various counties, so Yun Xi said: "Qi Tai, you go back to take care of the affairs of the county first, and I'll talk about it here." Qi Tai then retired.

Yun Xi turned his head to Qin Song and said, "What do you think?" "Although Qin Song is smart, he is very lazy, Yun Xi usually doesn't speak without asking, so Yun Xi asks this question.

Qin Song said: "Listening to what His Highness said just now, either Yanzhou Mansion is indeed only involved in pushing officials, and other officials are turning a blind eye to this because the prefect Lin Jun's previous letter has not yielded results; Or, there are still big fish in the three guards that have not been caught. ”

Yun Xi leaned on the back of the chair and straightened up suddenly, and asked suspiciously, "There are still big fish among the three guards?" ”

Qin Song said: "I'm just extrapolating according to common sense. Maybe it's true that the officials of Yanzhou Mansion are the only ones involved in the case. ”

Yoon-hee stood up and paced nearby. The big officials of King Lu Sanwei have all been taken down, if there is still a 'big fish', it must not be by virtue of their own ability, it must be with the help of bigger figures, so that Zhu Wan and Zhang Qin dare not confide in half a point; It's just a push official involved, and it's too far-fetched to thoroughly investigate the entire Yanzhou Mansion, and since the other party is so cautious, even the officials who thoroughly investigate the government may not gain anything.
