Zhang Cheng saw that he had nothing to do with Mrs. Fengsheng, so he lost interest, and after Tian Er's cultivation went down, he interrogated the various people who Jinyiwei specifically handled and the eunuchs brought by Tu Wenfu. It turned out that Tian Ergeng did not lie, and Tu Wenfu did not get Wei Zhongxian's instructions, but Tu Wenfu pulled fifty carts, and he was going to give Wei Zhongxian ten carts, Mrs. Fengsheng ten carts, and he got thirty carts.

Two days later, the case was finally concluded, and Zhang Cheng and Liu Jingwen presented the file to the palace. On the way, Liu Jingwen said: "Why do you want to target the saints? But did the queen say anything? ”

The relationship between the two was excellent when they were classmates, and now they are in charge of the Independent Commission Against Corruption together, so naturally they have nothing to talk about. So Liu Jingwen has no taboos.

Zhang Cheng replied: "The queen didn't say anything, the queen has a good relationship with her." ”

Liu Jingwen said curiously: "Why is that? ”

Zhang Cheng said: "When I look at Mrs. Fengsheng, I always feel uneasy, whose nurse has lived in the master's house for so long. ”

Liu Jingwen persuaded: "The relationship between the emperor and the queen is very good, don't make random ideas, it will not be good if it affects the emperor's perception of the queen." ”

Zhang Cheng was shocked, he only thought about driving Mrs. Fengsheng out of the palace, but he didn't expect that the person in the palace would think about the queen if he knew his heart, and hurriedly said: "Brother Liu's words, my Zhang family will have a lot of trouble." I don't dare to make claims anymore. ”

Liu Jingwen smiled: "It's good if you understand." ”

Zhu Youxiao relieved his heart after reading the file, what he was most afraid of was Wei Zhongxian's envoy Tu Wenfu, so no matter what, he also wanted to move Wei Zhongxian away from his side, since it is now proved that Wei Zhongxian was indeed not involved in this matter, then there is no problem.

He asked curiously, "Why are you implicated in Lady Fengsheng again?" ”

Liu Jingwen replied first: "Tu Wenfu once taught Mrs. Fengsheng to study with Hou Guoxing, so he has always been cared for by Mrs. Fengsheng. Please ask the emperor to take a clear look. ”

Zhu Youxiao asked again: "Then Liu Qing, what do you think these two people should be sentenced to?" ”

"Your Majesty, you said at the time that the Independent Commission Against Corruption supervises hundreds of officials, but it only has the duty of investigation, and does not have the power to convict, so this is not the purview of the ministers, and how to sentence is all up to the Sacred Heart."

Zhu Youxiao smiled: "Yes, I think the rules are the most important, everyone can know their terms of reference, then the world will be peaceful, these two people think that they can have the right to embezzle the world's property, so they will make it like this, you go down first, continue to recruit people, expand the Independent Commission Against Corruption, I want you to spread all over the country." ”

When the two withdrew, Zhang Cheng was already sweating and heavily clothed, and he always felt that the emperor's last words meant to warn him, Liu Jingwen explained: "You think like this because of the emptiness in your heart, but it's better to pay attention in the future." ”

Zhang Cheng nodded again and again, and the little caution that had just risen had disappeared without a trace.

Zhu Youxiao called Wei Zhongxian over and threw the file to him. Wei Zhongxian finally finished reading it, and immediately knelt down and said: "The slave maid has the great trust of the saint, and it actually made Tu Wenfu think that he could be corrupt at will, and ask the saint to surrender." ”

Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment and asked meaningfully, "Tu Wenfu, how do you think you should be convicted?" ”

Wei Zhongxian said viciously: "Peel the skin and grass, and only then can you warn others with heavy punishment, and see who dares to embezzle." ”

"What about Tian Ergeng?"

"Tu Wenfu is a slave and maid, and Tian Ergeng is not a slave and maid, so he doesn't dare to convict."

Zhu Youxiao said: "I told you that day, I want you to help me take care of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, you look at what you do, this time Jinyiwei found out the matter of fornication and slavery, you have no credit, Dongchang has no credit, do you understand?" ”

Wei Zhongxian knew that this matter was finally over, and hurriedly said: "The slave and maid have thanked the saint Longen, and in the future, the slave and maid will definitely clean up the East Factory, be optimistic about Jinyiwei, and never dare to let such a thing happen again." ”

"It's useless to say it, I want to see the result, so you can do it yourself."

On the second day, the emperor issued an order: to investigate the merchants of Zhangjiakou Fort, Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dayu, Liang Guest, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang, and Huang Yunfa, who were originally Han Chinese, but they fornicated with Houjin, imported contraband into Houjin, and sold the stolen goods for Houjin, and transmitted military information and carried bandit spies, which can be called traitors. The eight and their accomplices were beheaded for public display as an example, and their property was confiscated. However, those who are verified to be involved in this matter are not allowed to be connected.

This holy decree made the word traitor a hot topic for a while, and the newspaper specially published a large number of letters from reporters, some of whom were traitors of all dynasties and generations, and condemned them, some of them started from the defense of Huayi, and step by step introduced why they couldn't be traitors, and some proposed to be merciless to traitors, and thought that the emperor's punishment of traitors was too light, and it should be done with the nine clans.

Therefore, in the next issue, an editor's note was posted specifically on the issue of Zhulian: Is it reasonable that a person who did not commit a crime was punished by Zhulian just because his relatives committed crimes? Please discuss and send your opinions to the newspaper for discussion. Because we believe in one sentence: reason goes all over the world, and unreasonable is difficult to move an inch.

A few days later, the emperor decreed: Tu Wenfu, the head of the East Investigation Factory, was corrupt during the raid, and was punished by stripping the skin and grass, Jinyi Wei Qianhu Tian Ergeng was beheaded, and Wei Zhongxian, the commander of the East Investigation Factory, was fined for half a year, and the credit for this raid had nothing to do with the East Investigation Factory.

A total of nearly 73 million taels of silver was obtained from this raid, and with the money in his hand, Zhu Youxiao was relieved. At the court meeting, he proposed to relocate the Ordnance Bureau as soon as possible and clean up Wang Gong's factory. Xu Guangqi said that the financial situation of the household department is not very good, and this year's tax has not been collected, so he is afraid that he will not be able to come up with too much money to clean up Wang Gong's factory, let alone rebuild it. Zhu Youxiao said: "That's okay, then the household department will pay for the relocation of the Ordnance Bureau, and the cleaning up of Wang Gong's factory will all be paid by my internal funds, but first we must say that the internal funds will pay for cleaning up and rebuilding, so how to build and use it in the future will be decided by the palace, and other ministries shall not interfere." ”

The ministers all know that the emperor's internal funds have been used more effectively during this time, such as the big wedding, like the internal funds used in the supply of Liaodong's military salaries, and they should have spent almost the old foundation of Wanli. Now the emperor wants to use the internal money to clean up and build the Wang Gong factory, naturally he can't ask for it, and everyone agrees.

Li Zhen has led people to produce usable cement, and the output has reached 10,000 catties a day, and with the increase of proficiency, there should be a significant increase. Zhu calibrated spare cement to build the Wanggong factory, and he wanted to build the Wanggong factory into a university town and a high-end residential area.
