Chapter 58: The Way to Prosperity (1)

After the ink on the confession dried, Qian Jin carefully folded it and put it in his arms. After this incident, Qian Jin was ready to go home.

When he walked to the hall of the ministry, an official in a red robe blocked his way: "I came to my ministry's department to make trouble, so I want to leave like this?" ”

There are more and more officials in the hall, and it is a little difficult to get out for a while. Qian Jin didn't care, and said with his hands on his shoulders: "Why, Wang Shangshu is not in the government office and sent you out?" ”

A few people behind the red-robed official rushed out and said, "Presumptuous, I dare to be rude when I see Liu Shilang." Come on, give me eighty boards for him first. ”

Qian Jin immediately rolled up his sleeves and prepared to do a big job. If these officials think that they can bully themselves if there are too many people, they are really very wrong. Although the Wind Thunder Knife and the Night Dagger were not brought, he was not a vegetarian with a pair of iron fists.

Liu Shilang's brows furrowed slightly. Someone whispered a few words in his ear, probably telling him the general idea of what happened. He couldn't help but weigh the stakes. He knew about Director Lin's betrayal, but this guy was so careless that he was broken on the spot, and he also pressed his handprint on the confession. If he let the money in and out of the door of the ministry today, it will be difficult for him and Wang Shangshu to escape the relationship.

But if you keep the money, will it be possible to kill him? Not to mention whether it can be killed, you must know that this is the Ministry of Officials, and if someone dies, they can't tell if they have a mouth. Besides, Wang Shangshu's participation in Qian Jin is now known to people in the capital, and if he is attacked by someone with a heart in the name of retaliation, I am afraid that Wang Shangshu will also be difficult to argue.

Qian Jin saw that Liu Shilang didn't dare to do anything to himself, and there was a look on his face that he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic: "Liu Shilang, this official has beaten Director Lin, why don't we go to Dali Temple for a trip, and then call the colleagues from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Criminal Department, how about we have a triage?" ”

Liu Shilang's face was extremely ugly, he couldn't keep it, and it was not easy to put it, so he couldn't stay here all the time. Finally, he waved his hand helplessly. Seeing this, the surrounding officials had to get out of the way.

"There is labor." Qian Jin took a hand and strode out of the office of the ministry.

After Qian Jin left, Liu Shilang came to the duty room of Chief Lin, and when he saw that he still fainted to the ground, he asked someone to spray a handful of cold water on his face.

Director Lin woke up slowly, looked up and saw that Liu Shilang and the others were present, and even knelt down with a plop and cried: "Liu Shilang, the lower official is guilty." Xia Guan never expected that the money would come in so quietly. ”

Liu Shilang didn't speak, one hand behind him, the other caressed his thick beard, and just paced around the room. After a long time, he asked, "What did you tell the money servant about the festival?" ”

Director Lin said slowly: "A few months ago, he and a friend came to me to ask for an official, and the lower official saw that he looked obscene, and only gave twenty taels of silver to the happy money, so he sent a Yunnan post minister to him. ”

"Did that friend of his ever go to work?"

"No, and I didn't ask for the official register...... The silver was also thrown back by me......" Director Lin's voice became quieter and quieter.

"You're getting older and more confused." Liu Shilang scolded.

Previously, he was also going to find out Qian Jin's weakness to see if he could mediate in the middle to save Director Lin's life. If Qian Jin's friend asked for the official register and didn't go to office, he could take Qian Jin on the grounds of disrespect. But people don't even ask for official registers, which means that the ministry has not assigned official positions, and it is still the ministry of officials.

"Go back and prepare a few feet of white silk, and leave a whole corpse for yourself." Now, he can only give up the pawn of Chief Lin.

When Master Lin heard this, he immediately collapsed to the ground.

Liu Shilang beckoned behind him, and immediately a principal came over. Liu Shilang whispered a few words in his ear, and the latter understood, so he called two guards from outside to come in and carry Master Lin out.

At this time, the old man and the young man who bought officials from Director Lin were still in the house. After Director Lin was escorted out, the director glanced at the old man and the young again, and asked Liu Shilang in a low voice what to do with the two of them.

Liu Shilang said softly: "Lock it up first, and then go and check the details of the two of them, if they don't have any foundation, then ......" With that, he made a cutting motion at his throat. The latter understood, and immediately ordered someone to take out the old man and the young man who were crying wolves and disposed of properly.

…………

At this time, Qian Jin was running on the way to Zhenfu Division, with an excited expression on his face. This Lin has been selling officials for so many years, and he must have a lot of money, and if nothing goes wrong, he will be able to earn a windfall for the emperor immediately. As for Wang Shangshu and his ilk, with his current strength, he can't bring down this big tree, so he simply doesn't provoke it.

The government office of the Zhenfu Division is not far away, just opposite the building of the Liubu, separated by the extension of the imperial road in the capital.

Today, Mu Qing is on duty at the gate of the Zhenfu Division, and there is another person who Qian Jin doesn't recognize. When Mu Qing saw Qian Jin coming to the door, the expression on his face was a little surprised.

"Waiter Qian, what kind of wind is blowing you here today."

"Quick...... Take me to your family. ”

Seeing Qian Jin's anxious expression, Mu Qing hurriedly led him to a side hall of the Zhenfu Division to wait, and he went to report it himself. After a while, Hong Menda came in from outside the door in a hurry: "Brother Qian, what is the good thing for you to run this trip in person?" After that, he glanced at Mu Qing, who bowed and walked out of the side hall, and closed the door by the way when he left.

"Brother Hong, there is a great good thing. If this matter is done, our Jinyiwei may be able to turn over. Qian Jin said straight to the point.

"Oh? What is the good thing that makes Brother Qian so interested? ”

"Raiding the house......" Qian Jin gave a general account of Director Lin's betrayal of the official, and then took out the confession to show him.

After a moment of contemplation, Hongmen Dali felt that this was feasible. They Jinyiwei used to be famous for investigating cases and raiding homes, and besides, the case of Chief Lin has been conclusively proven, and they only need to come down with a will. After all, Jinyiwei was the emperor's pro-army.

"What is Brother Qian going to do?"

"Brother Hong, you only need to prepare a few hundred people and wait for my news. I will now enter the palace to meet Your Majesty at once. ”

The two discussed some specific details, and Hong Menda untied the Qianhu waist card he was wearing and gave it to Qian Jin. Because the brocade guard is responsible for guarding the palace, having this waist card can save a lot of tongues. Qian Jin thanked him, and then hurried to the imperial study of the palace non-stop.

Qian Jin trotted into the palace, and when he encountered a check, he took out Hong Menda's waist card, and the road went smoothly. When I arrived at the door of the imperial study, it was just in time for His Majesty to meet the Queen Mother. The timing is just right, and I will go to Renshou Palace to wait for Your Majesty a moment later.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something important to do." Qian Jin fell to his knees a foot away.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then he withdrew from the ministers who were accompanying him on the left and right, and he himself went into the imperial study. Qian Jin got up from the ground and quietly followed.

"Qian Aiqing, it's the first time I've seen you so nervous." The young emperor said softly.

"Your Majesty, Weichen really has a great good thing to report for coming this time." After speaking, Qian Jin took out the confession of Director Lin from his arms.

The emperor read the confession carefully, and his face was already a little ugly: "What a Lin master, he dares to be so blatant at the feet of the Son of Heaven." Qian Aiqing, passing on my will, immediately arrested him and handed him over to Dali Temple for interrogation, once verified, he will be severely punished. After speaking, he asked suspiciously: "Qian Aiqing, this is obviously a case of selling officials, how can you say that it is a good thing?" ”

Qian Jin smiled and said, "Your Majesty, since you ordered the champion of Weichen, the minister has been thinking about how to serve Your Majesty, especially this matter of filling Taicang. When the Emperor heard this, he nodded repeatedly. Qian Jin paused and continued: "This Lin chief must not have been selling officials for a day or two, and there must be countless stolen silver at home. The minister dared to ask His Majesty to issue an edict to copy the house of Chief Lin, and the wealth obtained was used to enrich Taicang. ”

The emperor is also a smart man, although Qian Jin only has a few words, he has understood it. Chen Guo has been eventful in recent years, Taicang is empty for more than a day or two, and he, the emperor, is not very interesting, and he has to find the queen mother to cry poor with some money. But even so, many ministers in the DPRK and China are still having a good time, they are greedy for what they should be greedy, and they are greedy for what they should take.

Qian Jin's suggestion is tantamount to telling him: raiding his home is a way to get rich quickly. But at present, his time on the throne is still short, and the major affairs of the DPRK and China rely on the capital and the queen mother to preside, if the seizure is too strong, when the ministers will unite to impeach, he is also a little jealous.

"What if the minister of the DPRK and China impeaches me?"

"I'm afraid of his eggs." Qian Jin couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, and as soon as the words came out, he realized that he couldn't be so rude in front of the emperor, and then explained: "Your Majesty, the whole world is yours, and it is natural for you to govern the world, and the impeachment of the ministers is tantamount to rebellion." ”

The emperor was still a little hesitant: "Rong Zhen asked the Queen Mother about this matter first......

"Your Majesty, Weichen has a sentence that has been held in his heart for a long time. If you let go of this matter, the Queen Mother will definitely be impressed by you, and when the time comes, she will naturally rest assured that the world will be taken care of by you; But if you ask for advice on everything, I'm afraid the Queen Mother will ......."

The meaning of these words could not be clearer: what the Queen Mother wants to see is an emperor who dares to act. It was these words that dispelled the emperor's last concerns.

"Xiao Caigua, immediately draft the purpose: there is a case of the official selling the official mantle today, the evidence is conclusive, I am very worried, and I am specially ordered to ......" The emperor hesitated for a while, and asked Qian Jin sideways: "Qian Aiqing, how about you come to host this matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, it is difficult for Weichen to take on this task alone. According to Wei Chen, Jinyiwei's Hongmen Dahong Qianhu has some talents......"

The emperor glanced at Qian Jin meaningfully, and then said: "The special Jinyi Wei Qianhu Hongmen Da thoroughly investigates the corruption, and if it is found, it will be severely punished, and it will be honored!" ”

After Gonggong Cai finished drafting the holy decree, the emperor used his jade seal to stamp a big seal on it. Qian Jin carefully took the holy decree and gently dried the ink on it.

"Your Majesty, just wait for the good news from Weichen."
