Volume 3 Chapter 53 Corrupt officials and corrupt officials are swept away

In the middle of November, the weather in Fujian was already quite cold, although there was no icy and snowy northern scenery, the wet and humid water vapor shivered with the cold wind blowing on the body.

It was this cold early winter that a stream of news more terrible than a cold snap reached Fujian, and the nine-thousand-year-old father-in-law Wei committed suicide in fear of crime!

Officials at all levels in Fujian used to be proud of joining the eunuch party, but at this time, their hearts were all pulling out the cold, and they were already shivering before the cold wind came to their bodies.

They all understood what Father-in-law Wei had done, when the emperor didn't want to do anything, the nine-thousand-year-old Father-in-law Wei was power-leaning towards the government and the opposition, covering the sky with one hand, but once the emperor thought about something, this nine-thousand-year-old was simply a blasphemy to the emperor!

What is the result of blaspheming the emperor, not only will he suffer, but also the bull ghosts, snakes, and gods who follow him will suffer.

Wei Gonggong committed suicide in fear of crime, Cui Chengxiu committed suicide in fear of crime, everyone in the eunuch party officials was in danger, and the Fujian officialdom was cold.

In this cold wind, some people are hot in their hearts, such as Zhang Bin, when he saw the news in the newspaper, he was the same as Chongzhen, he almost didn't dance, although he knew the general trajectory of historical development, but he didn't know that history would not deviate because of his arrival.

Fortunately, Father-in-law Wei still committed suicide in fear of sin, just like the historical records.

Zhang Bin hadn't been excited for long, and Chongzhen's central decree had arrived, asking him to immediately send someone to escort more than one million taels of silver into Beijing.

This Zhang Bin has already been prepared, he has asked the veteran Yu Zhigao to escort the silver to the Fujian Dusi Yamen with his two hundred elites, and the 100 carriages of Dongshengtang have also been lined up in the square of the Dusi Yamen early, and the goods of Dongshengtang can be transported, but the more than one million taels of silver must be escorted by his elite soldiers in person.

At this time, the recruits just began to practice, and they were still overwhelmed, and the elites trained by Dajin had to guard the Yamen of the capital, Zhang Bin could only let Yu Zhigao take the two hundred elites he trained to escort Yinliang, so he also specially collected more than 100 war horses for them, let them ride war horses, drive carriages, non-stop, and go straight to the capital!

A few days after he sent out the money, the official document of the Ministry of Officials came, and Zhang Bin, the governor of Fujian, immediately sent people to arrest Wang Ruoji, the political envoy of the left of the political envoy of Fujian Chengxuan, Guo Xiyu, the political envoy of the right cloth, and Zhang Yiming, the envoy of the criminal prosecution, and escorted them to Beijing for trial.

This is expected, it is strange that Chongzhen, these corrupt officials who are corrupt for hundreds of thousands of taels, can still tolerate it, but I don't know if Bi Maokang, Cai Shanji and Wang Zheng have received the official letter of appointment, this matter will naturally be known in a few days, what he has to do now is to arrest Wang Ruoji, Guo Xiyu and Zhang Yiming.

It stands to reason that it is no problem for him to directly send someone to the door to arrest him at this time, but, after all, it is someone's territory, in case someone resists desperately, it will not be good to cause unnecessary damage, anyway, the Hongmen banquet has been sung a few times, and it is nothing to sing him again.

So, Zhang Bin directly sent someone to inform Wang Ruoji, Guo Xiyu, Zhang Yiming and Hong Xianchun that he was going to Yuegang tomorrow, and everyone would get together in the evening!

It's still Mochiyue Tower, but this time Zhang Bin just booked a small private room on the second floor, just one table, and only Wang Ruoji, Guo Xiyu, Zhang Yiming and Hong Xianchun were invited.

Wei Zhongxian fell, Wu Chunfu was arrested, Wang Ruoji and they had no backstage, and finally saw their identities clearly, they no longer dared to pose in front of Zhang Bin, and before the time came, they rushed to Wangyue Tower early, and sat there honestly waiting.

At the moment, Zhang Bin arrived on time, he did not walk in with a cold face or menacing, but with a spring breeze on his face, as if he was really inviting guests to dinner.

He was thinking that these people would be in prison in the future, and he didn't know if he would be able to come out and see the light of day again in the future, perhaps, Chongzhen was unhappy, and it was possible to click them directly, so please have a good meal, and see them off!

Wang Ruoji and the others didn't know that Zhang Bin was here to arrest them, because there was no warning in advance, although the capital was full of wind and rain, Fuzhou was still calm, they really thought that Zhang Bin was going to Yuegang, and invited them to get together at this time, maybe let them recognize the situation and listen to his words as the governor.

The three of them have been feeling cool and cool in their hearts these days, and they can't understand how the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Gonggong will collapse when he says it, and he won't even give them time to react.

They remembered what they had done in front of Zhang Bin before, and they regretted it in their hearts, they had known that the Wei Gong Guild had fallen, how could they be so unreasonable to the governor, in order to make up for their previous mistakes, the three of them tried their best to flatter, flattered them wildly, and tried their best to welcome them, just like a pug in front of Zhang Bin, they almost waged their tails and begged for mercy.

Zhang Bin was smiling on the surface, but he was extremely contemptuous in his heart, this kind of goods, all his skills were on the whiskers, and they could still steal the high position of the second and third grades, no wonder Da Ming was getting worse!

Whoever likes to use this kind of official, he will not use it anyway.

Zhang Bin patiently accompanied them for nearly an hour, until these people didn't drink and eat much, and then he smiled and said, "Have you eaten well?" ”

Wang Ruoji and the others nodded again and again: "Eat well, eat well, thank you Lord Governor." ”

Zhang Bin nodded and shouted directly: "Someone." ”

At this time, Wang Ruoji, Guo Xiyu, Zhang Yiming and Hong Xianchun all thought that he was calling someone to settle the bill, but they didn't show any unusual expressions, everyone still had a smile on their faces, but the hand had been quietly stretched out into their arms, and they were still ready to rush to pay the bill.

Unexpectedly, it was not the shopkeeper who came in, but Cui Hao, the general banner, who also had a team of guards behind him, and as soon as he came in, he surrounded the entire dining table.

Wang Ruoji and the others' faces changed drastically, and they begged Zhang Bin for forgiveness, begging the governor for forgiveness, and swore that in the future, only Zhang Bin would be the first to follow, and they would do whatever Zhang Bin asked them to do!

Zhang Bin pretended to be compassionate, shook his head and sighed: "Alas, it's not that the official wants to get along with you, it's the official who asked the official to arrest you and escort you to the capital. ”

As soon as Zhang Bin's words came out, the four of them, including Hong Xianchun, showed desperate expressions, they had no heart to struggle and resist, and they didn't even have the strength to shout, so they let Cui Hao lead people to tie their hands and drag them out.

After Wang Ruoji and the others were kidnapped, Hong Xianchun came back to his senses, and he was fine!

He stood up excitedly, and said again and again: "Thank you, Lord Governor, thank you, Lord Governor." ”

Zhang Bin shook his head and sighed: "Alas, uncle, I didn't say you, as an official, you should think more about how to serve the country and the people, what's the use of climbing up by sneaking around and taking bribes, after all, you can only mislead the country and the people!" For Rong'er's sake, forget it this time, I hope you can think more about Daming and the people in the future, and be a good official for the country and the people! ”

At this point, the corrupt officials and corrupt officials in Fujian were basically swept away by Zhang Bin, and he could finally let go and develop with all his might.
