Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi Prison, this infamous purgatory has been silent for more than ten years.

Wei Zhongxian covered the sky with one hand, and it could be said that this place was overcrowded, but after Wei Zhongxian fell, this place suddenly became extremely deserted.

Although Chongzhen is a senseless and faint king, he does not have Wei Zhongxian's bad habit of torturing people to death, and he is quite anxious, once anyone provokes him, he basically can't live for three days, so there is basically no one in this prison, no matter who it is, he can basically only stay for a few days when he comes in, either Chongzhen finds out that he has really wronged people, and lets people go, or he dies, like Wei Zhongxian, he locks people inside, tortures and serves every day, tortures for months, tortures all over his body, and has no good meat, and the bones are rotten, It simply doesn't exist.

Therefore, since Chongzhen was in the dynasty, the captains, cell heads and jailers of Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu Division were the most relaxed, because there were basically no people in the Imperial Prison, they only needed to stand in turns, and those masters who were specifically responsible for torture were even more idle, because Chongzhen had no hobby of torturing people at all, he couldn't be really angry, it was just a board, and it was too troublesome to be caught in the Imperial Prison and serve him.

At this time, Chongzhen is over, the prince is in power, and Zhang Bin is in power, they seem to be more idle, because the prince is young, and Zhang Bin is a well-known virtuous minister, how can these two put people in prison and torture.

This time they guessed wrong, as soon as the Jingcha plan began, this edict was too busy!

On this day, Jin Yiwei commanded Tongzhi Qi Panzong to personally sit in Beizhen Fusi, and arrested hundreds of people at once, and this is not the end, and then he ordered all the executioners to prepare the torture tools, what skinning, tongue cutting, finger cutting, heart-piercing, lung-piercing, bone scraping, etc. were all taken out and put on the table, and then they began to torture in batches to extract confessions!

These are all corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and they are all huge corruption, with a few tens of thousands of taels and even hundreds of thousands of taels of corruption!

The purpose of extorting confessions by torture is to get them to recruit other people, who you have received money from those who have taken bribes, and who you have given bribes to, and to whom you have given bribes.

The people in Beizhen Fusi thought that it was just scary for Lord Tongzhi to let them put out the torture tools, after all, these people were all copied, and they were punished if they couldn't recruit others, Qi Panzong had done this before, and put all the torture tools out, which made people tremble, and then, everything was recruited.

Unexpectedly, this time it didn't work, these corrupt officials and corrupt officials were very afraid when they saw the torture tools, but they confessed to other people very few.

This trick doesn't work, what should I do?

This time, Qi Panzong is not a scaremonger, he dares not to recruit, he really ordered people to be punished!

All of a sudden, the entire edict suddenly cried wolf, and the corrupt officials who were interrogated and the corrupt officials who were not interrogated were trembling with fright, they didn't expect this commander to be so ruthless, let alone that Zhang Bin, the first assistant, would be as polite as Wei Zhongxian!

How many people can withstand the torture of the edict?

In addition to the hard bones of the Donglin Party, there are only a handful of people in the history of the Ming Dynasty in the past three hundred years.

These corrupt officials are not hard bones, their bones are very soft, and they only cut a small hole in the skin, and before they were ready to pick it up, they cried and shouted to recruit, not to mention other tortures, basically as long as they saw a little blood, they would collapse, and everything would be spit out wildly!

This time it's terrible, more than 100 people, everyone's confession can be as thick as a book, and the officials they have bitten out are almost all over the entire court, because corruption is the norm at this time, if you are not corrupt, are you embarrassed to say that you are an official!

Will all the people they recruit be arrested and put in prison?

Of course not, this joke can't be made, there are really not many honest and honest officials at this time, and all the officials who have corrupt behaviors must be imprisoned in the edict, whether the edict prison is so big is secondary, the important thing is that the entire court will be emptied because of this, if you really want to arrest them all, the Ming Dynasty will really be paralyzed!

Zhang Bin had expected this nature for a long time, and he was analyzing it with his confession at this moment.

Regardless of the corruption of dozens of taels or hundreds of taels, most of these officials are in the way of the situation, forced to accept bribes once or twice, and they are not really corrupt officials, so it is enough to let the officials have an interview and give a warning.

Corruption of thousands of taels or tens of thousands of taels, these can't all be caught, because this category is the most, accounting for more than eighty percent, if all are caught, then the entire court is really empty, these are basically following the crowd, they are not actively corrupt, but people give them money, they do not refuse.

This type of official cannot be arrested, but it cannot be let go, and it is necessary to be ordered to hand over the proceeds of corruption, and according to the severity of the circumstances, they must be demoted, fined, dismissed, exiled, and other punishments.

Tens of thousands of taels, hundreds of thousands of taels or even millions of taels of corruption, these people have nothing to say, they are all arrested, imprisoned, tortured, and let them confess where the silver is hidden, and then they will be copied!

Copy, copy, copy, copy, copy!

At the beginning of the Beijing inspection plan, there was a big drama to watch in the capital almost every day, and every time the house was raided, the silver was pulled to the imperial city by car, and the inner carrier warehouse in the imperial city was soon stuffed.

This carrier warehouse can be filled, how much silver did Zhang Bin copy?

At this time, there is no accurate number, because the carriage carrying silver to the imperial city has not stopped, and the silver deposit in the inner treasury has also been refreshing records, 30 million taels, 40 million taels, 50 million taels, these numbers that Zhu Cihong can't think of have been refreshed again and again, how much money did the corrupt officials of the Manchu Dynasty emberate!

He actually made a mistake, some of these silvers were not copied from the mansions of court officials, Zhang Bin learned Wei Zhongxian, and even the officials of Zhishi did not let go!

Do you think you're a servant, and you'll be fine if you retire with honor, dreaming, as long as someone exposes it, once it is verified, it will also be a copy!

At this time, the corruption in the Ming Dynasty is really quite amazing, and the corruption tide led by Wei Zhongxian, Cui Chengxiu, Wen Tiren, Xue Guoguan, etc., has almost swept the entire court, so that the entire officialdom regards corruption as a trend, if you are not corrupt, you don't accept bribes, people will say that you are fake and high, and there is something wrong!

In the end, the results copied out far exceeded Zhang Bin's expectations, in history, Li Zicheng squeezed out more than 70 million taels from the hands of officials in Beijing, and this time, he also squeezed out more than 70 million taels!

What's going on here?

In fact, it is very simple, because before Li Zicheng entered Beijing, many Zhishi officials in Beijing fled to Jinling, the southern capital, with the proceeds of corruption, and most of the officials left behind were in the DPRK.

As far as the more than 70 million taels is the result of Zhang Bin's restraint, he has to ignore it, as long as there is corruption, it will be copied at once, and it is estimated that it will not be a problem to copy out 100 million taels of silver!
