Chapter 320: Inner Palace Corruption Case (4)

Huili and Liu Qian'an hurriedly stood up, and knelt down to salute Yunxi at the first moment Yunxi walked in. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Yun Xi walked in and first looked at the temporary torture room. This is a place not far from Kunning Palace, and when Yun Xi came, he had already heard the little eunuch Huang Fu beside him say that this was originally a place to punish palace maids who made not too serious mistakes.

Because it is only a place where the punishment is not serious, there is actually no torture instrument in the first place.

Now Yun Xi looked here: the room was not gloomy, and of course there were no strange torture instruments of all kinds, only whips and boards commonly used in the palace. The prisoners were also only tied to special chairs. When Yun Xi came over just now, he happened to see a prisoner who had been escorted out of here, and there were no injuries on his body.

At this time, the person who was tied to the chair was stunned, probably thinking that the emperor felt that this case was unjust, or something else, and shouted: "Your Majesty, you are wronged! ”

Yun Xi immediately asked the eunuch to gag him. A bullshit case, even Wang Bu and others admitted to accepting bribes, how can it still be an unjust case? Who in the palace can force Wang Bu and the three of them to lie in front of Yun Xi?

Yun Xi then turned back to Huili and the others and said, "Get up." ”

Huili stood up tremblingly. Since ancient times, the emperor himself came to the place where the prisoner was interrogated, and most of them meant that the emperor did not trust the original interrogator, which is not a good thing. Huili secretly calculated what to do in his heart.

Yun Xi didn't have so many ideas, he just wanted to get first-hand information, whether Wang Bu and the others told him the truth.

So Yun Xi said: "Huili, tell me, how did Wang Bu and Wang Jin and others get the money, and how much do they take every month?" ”

Huili's mind was in a hurry, thinking about what to say to Yunxi. She originally wanted to collect and sort out the files after the interrogation of several main culprits, that is, the eunuchs of each yamen, and then report them to Xi Yao, and finally Xi Yao decided how to report them to Yun Xi.

Now that these eunuchs have been interrogated, she was just about to sort out and report to Xi Yao, Yun Xi asked this question directly, which made Xi Yao not know how to report the gift.

Even if you tell the truth, there are differences between different ways of speaking, especially when it comes to multiple people, and different ways of speaking give the impression that they are completely different.

But Huili is a smart person after all, and he immediately thought that he couldn't keep hesitating, otherwise the emperor would suspect something. She turned her mind again, and felt that Wang Jin and Wang Xi were the earliest close eunuchs of Yunxi, and they had served Yunxi for nearly ten years, and their feelings were different. Wang Xi did not find out that it was involved, and Wang Jin was not in conflict with the palace maid in his usual duties; So it was decided to focus on Wang Bu and Wang Gong.

The above thoughts were completed in an instant, and then he immediately bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Gonggong Xi did not find out that he was involved in this matter, and no person who was interrogated showed evidence to prove that Gonggong Xi took the money, so Gonggong Xi should be innocent." ”

"In December, the first month and the second month of the month, I took a total of 600 yuan from the three yamen, including the Shangshan Supervisor and the Shangyi Supervisor, and 200 yuan per month. I haven't heard anything of it. ”

"As for Father-in-law Bu, from November to February, he also took a total of 1,200 yuan from six yamen, including the Shangshan Supervisor and the Salary Saving Division. In addition, Father-in-law Bu once instructed the imperial dining room to cook for him first, and Eunuch Su of Shangshan Jian once cooked for him according to Niangniang's share. ”

"Gonggong is the chief eunuch of the imperial prison, and we have found out that he has received nearly a thousand bribes, and we have not found out how much money Gonggong has personally taken care of. Gonggong also used to privately make clothes from the materials purchased in the palace. ……”

In fact, the meeting was prepared beforehand. Wang Jin may not have such things as Wang Bu and Wang Gong, but Huili didn't ask at all, so it is impossible to have it in the record. Even if it was later re-examined that Wang Bu had such a thing, Huili would not have any responsibility.

Yun Xi was really emotionally mobilized by the ceremony. At the beginning, when he heard that Wang Xi was fine, Yun Xi was of course happy, and finally there was someone with no problem by his side.

After hearing Wang Jin, I was probably relieved to hear that things were the same as Wang Jin's statement.

After that, it was Wang Bu, and Yun Xi's heart sank when he heard about Wang Bu. If what Huili said is true, then although Wang Bu did not lie to himself, he is also suspected of trying to get through the test.

In the end, Wang Gongyun Xi was completely angry. Originally, Yun Xi was a little dissatisfied because he was directly responsible, but he had so many other things.

But Yun Xi is not a simple-minded person, and he doesn't believe what people say. Although he didn't doubt that Xiyao would be unfavorable to him, he would also doubt Huili.

Yun Xi stared at Huili for a while, and then instructed Liu Qian'an: "Sort out the file and show it to me!" "And then I sat here.

Huili's heart jumped, but she thought that there was no problem with the file, and she was not afraid to read it.

Liu Qian'an sorted out the dossier, and then handed it to Yun Xi.

Yun Xi took the file and looked at it. Yun Xi actually didn't stay in the criminal investigation department, and he didn't know much about the judiciary, let alone the method of organizing cases in the ancient palace. He didn't have enough time to look at it, so he couldn't really see why. Yun Xi only used such actions to test Huili, Liu Qian'an, and all the eunuchs and palace maids present. But nothing came out.

Yun Xi sighed, put the file on the table, and turned to go out. Leaving a meeting that didn't know what to do, he was thinking about it.

Yun Xi didn't go to Xi Yao. For Yun Xi, the most important thing in this case is Wang Xi's affairs, and the rest is handled by Xi Yao.

Yun Xi said to Wang Xi: "Why did you say that this person has changed? They used to be so serious, but now. ”

However, Yun Xi immediately said in his heart: "I'm afraid it's because there aren't so many places to rub oil in the small place of the Wenhua Palace." And at that time, the imperial grandfather was still there, and Xiyao was also in charge, which was not so easy to do. ’

Now that the entire palace is the object of management, the emperor is gone, and Xiyao can't take care of it in many places, but it's up to them. This person, once there is no control, no self-control, even if he has the ability, he will not be able to exert himself. ’

When Ximenqing was alive, his son-in-law Chen Jingye's business was also good. As soon as Ximen Qing died, Chen Jingye's family industry soon fell into decline, just because no one was in charge. ’

Wang Xi didn't speak after hearing Yun Xi's words, he knew that Yun Xi was actually talking to himself, and he didn't really want to ask for any opinions.

And this matter Wang Xi is not completely clean. Yes, Wang Xi has not received money, but he actually knows a little about it, and Wang Jin also implicitly told him about it.

Wang Xi felt that according to Yunxi's temperament, he would not easily bypass them, so he did not participate, and implicitly dissuaded Wang Jin. Wang Jin didn't mention it after that, but Wang Xi vaguely knew that they didn't stop.

Sure enough, it's exposed now. Wang Xi is not worried about himself, unless Wang Jin is crazy, otherwise he will never tell him about this.

Wang Xi was worried about Wang Jin and a few of them, as well as the eunuchs who followed Yun Xi like him. Most of these people were selected into the Wenhua Hall in the twenty-fifth or twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, because Yun Xi was crowned the emperor's grandson and increased his salary, and it has been six or seven years now, and there is always some affection.

But Wang Xi knew that he couldn't intercede, at least he couldn't intercede. He also understands Yun Xi's temperament, although he gently deals with some officials who embezzle hundreds of dollars, but he has scolded him in private I don't know how many times, it can be seen that he is very disgusted with corruption.

Yun Xi didn't expect Wang Xi to answer.

In fact, Yun Xi has a lot of trust in these eunuchs who are close to him, even more than he trusts the ministers of the foreign dynasty, such as Qi Tai and Chen Xingshan.

For the eunuchs in the palace, the only hope is the emperor's trust, and without Yun Xi's trust, they can't keep anything. Yun Xi felt that Wang Bu, Wang Jin, and Wang Gong were all smart people, so they wouldn't know about it.

And Yun Xi also pays great attention to the welfare of his subordinates, not only does the salary exceed the salary of the normal four-rank official, but also often rewards them with things. It's also not too big a shelf to talk to them.

So Yun Xi really can't accept that they are so corrupt.

In fact, if you talk about the facts, this case is the top of the sky, and the total amount of embezzlement is 20,000 yuan, which may not all have anything to do with Wang Jin and the others. Since Hongwu came to the Ming Dynasty for 25 years, there have been several corruption cases involving a total amount of more than 100,000 yuan, and Yun Xi himself has also handled cases of corruption of tens of thousands of yuan in foreign dynasties. So Yun Xi shouldn't have paid so much attention to it, and he couldn't sleep at night.

But this case is a huge blow to Yun Xi's heart. Yun Xi treated Wang Xi and the four of them in the best way he could think of, and there was still a feeling, they didn't have any relatives, so they didn't need to be corrupt at all, and logically speaking, they shouldn't be corrupt.

But they're embezzlement. Yun Xi has been dripping blood in his heart until now.

Yun Xi returned to the Qianqing Palace, and sat in his dormitory again and did not deal with the government affairs, but just sat on a chair and waited.

Until it was almost noon to eat, Wang Xi came to ask Yun Xi if he wanted to pass the imperial dining room to eat.

Yun Xi said, "Let the imperial dining room prepare lunch." ”

Then Yun Xi seemed to have made up his mind, and said: "Spread my will, call Wang Jin, Wang Bu, and Wang Gong all three of them!" ”
