In the palace, Zhu Qiyu was looking at the relevant confessions and files submitted to the palace by Lu Jin, and after a while, the anger on his face was clearly visible, and after reading all these things, he was even more angry and turned blue, and slammed the documents in his hand on the imperial case, and said angrily: "It's really shocking, how can this be true!" Lu Qing, are these fruits you played true? ”

The attendants on the side were so frightened that they knelt down when they saw Long Yan's anger, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads one by one. However, Lu Jin, the initiator who had just set up the first place, was calm at this time, and when he heard this, he arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, how dare such a major minister deceive you?" What is written above is true, and it is all verified by Jinyiwei and asked from the mouths of the officials involved in the case. Because of the fact that dozens of officials from the two departments of household punishment were involved, Jinyiwei did not dare to make decisions without authorization, and the ministers had to present His Majesty first. ”

"What a bold man they are! Is it possible to regard the decrees of my court as nothing for the sake of these promises of money? It is really unreasonable that such a person can still be in the court and assist me in governing the world! The emperor glanced at the newspaper on the case again, and said with anger on his face.

Then, he raised his eyes and looked at Lu Jin: "Lu Qing, since it is the relevant matter found out by Jinyiwei, I will order you to investigate this case clearly." As long as it is an official involved in the case, no matter what identity it is, don't let it go, otherwise the court law will not exist! ”

"Obey the order!" Lu Zhen wanted this effect, seeing that the emperor had made a will, his spirit was suddenly lifted, and after receiving the order, he glanced at the top and saw that the Son of Heaven had nothing to explain, so he gave a deep bow and withdrew from the palace.

When he left the palace gate, as soon as he turned around, his steps suddenly became faster, and he went directly to the palace gate, even if he met a few acquaintances on the way to greet him, he just nodded and coped, and did not mean to stay at all. After only a while, the others had already left the palace gate.

At this time, there were several henchmen waiting outside the palace, such as Yao Gan, as soon as they saw him come out, everyone hurriedly greeted him, and just wanted to ask him what attitude the Son of Heaven was, Lu Zhen had already taken the lead to give orders: "Yao Gan, you take someone to the criminal department to get people, Qinggele, you take people to the household department to get people." Remember, don't let anyone go by the list of people you mention. If the person is not in the yamen, go to his house and get someone, and don't delay giving them a chance to escape! ”

Hearing this order, everyone's faces suddenly showed a look of joy, they had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and finally it was time for Jinyiwei to turn over. Immediately, everyone hugged their fists at Lu Jin, and quickly left, took those subordinates who were waiting farther away, and rushed straight to the two major yamen.

Lu Jin, on the other hand, stood up slightly and exhaled a long breath of turbidity. He wasn't as happy, even a little unhappy, as the others. Although there are not many victims in this case, it has exposed the extremely greedy and depraved side of the current court officials, which makes him a little worried about the future of the Ming court.

This is still an entry point chosen by oneself at random, if you really show out the many unsightly deeds that Jin Yiwei has discovered over the years, I am afraid that the ugliness hidden under the clothes of this prosperous world will make everyone feel fear and anger!

Lu Zhen only stayed where he was for a while, then quickly walked to his mount, turned over his horse, and quickly led people to the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division. Next, he has a tough battle to fight.

@@@@@

The changes of this day shocked the entire Ming officialdom.

Just before noon, the two teams of Jinyi guards rushed directly into the two major yamen of the household department and the criminal department without any worries, and then took out a list and directly named them, as long as there was something on the list, they immediately took it down, tied it with ropes, and brought it out.

This behavior immediately angered the other officials of the two yamen, who came forward one after another to accuse Jinyiwei of being bold and reckless, and some wanted to drive people out of the yamen. But as a result, the Jinyi guard, who had been very low-key all these years, suddenly became arrogant, and as soon as he saw that someone dared to make a move, he immediately drew his saber to intimidate, and immediately frightened these civil officials to retreat again and again.

After frightening a group of officials, Jinyiwei took away more than a dozen officials on the list, swaggered out of the yamen, and watched many people with great fanfare, escorting these officials who had not even been able to get rid of the criminal officials in their official uniforms and returned to the yamen of the Zhenfu Division.

Soon, the news spread all over the capital. Jinyiwei's behavior obviously trampled on the bottom line and dignity of the civil officials, and many people immediately shouted that they wanted to crusade against Jinyiwei and go to the Son of Heaven to sue them. Because of Jinyiwei's approach, it was easy for them to remember the gloomy past that was suppressed by Wang Zhen's henchmen many years ago, is everything going to happen again?

What the ministers didn't expect was that when they ran to the palace gate and asked to see the Son of Heaven and ask him to administer justice for his colleagues, there was a word from the palace that the Son of Heaven was unwell because of the dragon's health and did not see any foreign officials today. Then no matter how they knelt down in front of the palace gate and begged, the palace gate was still closed, and they had no intention of talking to them at all.

At this time, the ministers were completely out of options, so they could only ask Yu Qian, an official who had a very good relationship with Lu Jin, or his former boss, to go to the Zhenfu Division on behalf of everyone after a discussion. Even if you can't get someone out, you have to figure out what happened.

Yu Qian couldn't hinder the requests of so many people, and he was also a little puzzled by Lu Jin's move, so he responded to the matter. He didn't delay, and after agreeing to the matter, he rushed directly to the Zhenfu Division in a sedan chair.

At this time, in the main hall of the Zhenfu Division, Lu Zhen was looking at the officials who were taken with a sad and angry face, with a sneer and disdain on his face: "You feel that you are being persecuted by my Jinyi Guard, so you will come to my Zhenfu Division, right?" ”

"Isn't it?" It was Zheng Zhen of Langzhong of the Criminal Department who spoke, and I saw him say with anger on his face: "You Lu Zhen was also an official from my Ming Dynasty, and he was originally appointed as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and it can be said that it is difficult to disobey the king's order, but now because I and other officials say a few words about you, don't you want to fabricate charges and persecute me, don't you feel empty-hearted?" Aren't you afraid that your crimes will be passed on to future generations in history? ”

"Yes, Lord Lu, there is no contradiction between you and me as ministers. Not only are we not trying to harm you, but we're helping you. You can't take revenge and frame us with a crime. ”

Suddenly, everyone else also accused Lu Jinlai, as if they believed that they were taken into Jinyiwei because they offended Lu Jin and were retaliated by him.

Lu Zhen listened quietly to them constantly excusing themselves, counting all kinds of things that Jinyiwei was not like, but he didn't have much reaction. However, the captains and Baihu guarding on the side were already so angry that their faces turned pale, and they secretly clenched their fists. If Lu Zhen hadn't been sitting there, I'm afraid they would have to get angry directly.

It wasn't until after listening to them talk for a long time that Lu Zhen waved his hand: "Show them the things." Don't think that if you don't tell it, no one will know. There's an old saying that if you don't know, you can't do it unless you don't know it! ”

Under the expressions of surprise or weakness on the faces of the officials, several lieutenants in brocade clothes threw into their hands documents that clearly stated their crimes.

A few people only opened the charges and looked at them a few times, and their faces suddenly changed. It turned out that they were righteous and awe-inspiring, and their faces suddenly turned pale and trembled. A few people couldn't help but mutter: "This ...... How is this possible? ”

"Do you really think that what you did in the first place is so hidden that no one knows? I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, don't think about any wind and grass in the capital, don't want to hide the ears and eyes of Jinyiwei, don't say that these things you do, even if you think about it, it's all in Jinyiwei's records. Now, your properties are already under the watchful eye of the Jinyi Guard, and although they are not in your name, as long as you check carefully, you can know that the owners of those industries are inextricably linked to you. Coupled with everything Su Xu and he confessed, even if you refuse to confess, with these witnesses and physical evidence, it is enough to convict you of a serious crime. What do you have to say now? Lu Zhen spoke violently, and everyone was terrified, and no one could speak back.

Obviously, the psychological quality of these people is far worse than Lu Zhen thought, and the revelation of their former crimes at this time has already scared them to the point that they don't even have the courage to quibble.

In fact, this is very understandable, because they have long decided that this three-year-old case is impossible to be turned over. At the beginning, they were also very clean, and there were almost no problems left behind. But who would have thought that the secret deeds were all under the surveillance of Jinyiwei?

And this time, even the witnesses have been found and written down, which caught them off guard, and they were suddenly attacked, which was naturally a big mess.

Seeing the panic in their hearts, Lu Zhen continued to add weights: "To tell you the truth, this official has already entered the palace to inform Your Majesty of your crimes. Your Majesty was furious, so he ordered the Jinyi Guard to arrest you and others. What you can do now is to honestly confess all the crimes you have committed, so that your Majesty will forgive you. If there are still those who dare to deny it, my Jinyi Guard's edict has been empty for a long time, so I can let you try it! ”

After a pause, he narrowed his eyes again: "Besides, one more point. I know that there should be a mastermind in this incident, and he is not among you yet. As long as you can explain this mastermind, it can be regarded as a crime, and this official can ask the Son of Heaven to appropriately reduce the crime for you. That's all you have to say, think about it! With that, he flicked his sleeves and strode away, leaving only a group of panicked and hesitant officials hesitating in the hall.
