The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

At noon, in front of the governor's palace, Haozi patrolled left and right as usual, as if nothing had changed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that when he saw the sound of horses' hooves in front of him, he raised his right hand and touched his head, so he stayed motionless in front of the door of the house.

When it was still about fifty meters away from the governor's palace, the man obediently dismounted, and led the horse slowly with three guards.

"General Li, it's too late for the end, Governor Qin is in a hurry!"

The person who came was Wang Pu, who heard that Qin Haoming wanted to see him, so he went home and changed into a brand new clothes and hurried over.

After waiting for many days, he finally ushered in the meeting, and his heart was very excited, could it be that the money sent last time played a role?

"No, Governor Qin has just come back and is waiting for General Wang in the side hall. It's hot on the outside, talking on the inside. ”

Haozi's surname is Li, if you talk about the position, he is only the leader of Qin Haoming's personal guard of 100 households, and Wang Pu should not call him a general.

But because he is the person next to Qin Haoming, the tide is rising, and Wang Pu is a sleek person, which is not surprising.

Entering the gate of the house, several people took off their weapons and handed them over to the gatehouse. The three guards stayed behind and waited, and Wang Pu entered the side hall alone.

"The last general will see the governor of Qin and the governor of Song."

What made Wang Pu strange was that Song Xian was also in the high hall, and hurriedly saluted the two of them respectfully.

"You may be seated!"

Qin Haoming raised his hand, and he didn't call him a general, and said lightly.

At the same time, a trace of unbearability flashed on his face, this guy is usually quite respectful to himself, is it too much to treat him like this?

But then I think about it, it would be a curse to keep him.

This cargo escaped in the Battle of Songjin, resulting in the fall of the four cities of Songshan, Jinzhou, Tashan, and Xingshan, and the surrender of Zu Dashou.

So much so that the elite of Jiusai and the grain of China were all thrown away, and they could not continue to resist Jiannu, and finally lost the Ming Dynasty.

After the news spread, there was a great earthquake in Beijing, Wang Pu was arrested for the crime of fleeing, and the law department held a trial and executed Wang Pu on May 19, the fifteenth year of Chongzhen.

"Governor Qin, but what's the matter?"

As soon as Fang sat down, several of Qin Haoming's personal guards surrounded him, making him unable to move.

"Well, you can look at these first!"

Song Xian sighed, glanced at Qin Haoming with a complicated face, and asked the master to present a stack of confessions on the case to Wang Pu.

He didn't want to get involved in today's affairs, and besides, Wang Pu belonged to the Datong General Army before, and it had nothing to do with him.

However, Qin Haoming is not only the governor of several provinces, but also has the imperial history of the right capital, full-time correction of hundreds of divisions, identification of wrongs, and the commander of various provinces, for the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven.

If you make him unhappy, you can also use this method to deal with yourself. In the chaotic environment of the Ming Dynasty, how many people have clean buttocks?

Not to mention anything else, the grain that is transported to the front line every year has to be deducted a lot, sometimes even more than half. The civil officials call this kind of deduction drifting, which belongs to the unspoken rules that everyone knows.

In this feast of eating the flesh and blood of the Ming Empire, the civil official has always been the host of the banquet, the one who eats the most and shouts the most.

Of course, unless there is a mortal enemy, no one is generally willing to offend people for no reason, but Wang Pu didn't know how to grudge the young governor this time?

Song Xian's voice was not loud, but Wang Pu listened to it in his ears, but it was like a thunderbolt from the sky. As soon as his knees were weak, he collapsed directly to the ground, "Governor Qin, Governor Song, the last general ......"

He knows his own affairs, he doesn't need to read the confession at all, he wants to deal with himself, and his whole body is a handle.

Therefore, he didn't dare to quibble, knowing that no matter how he explained, it would be futile after all, and it was better to be honest. Otherwise, the lie will be exposed, and your own death will be even more ugly.

"My lord, the officials are confused, and I hope that Governor Qin will be gracious......"

"You also know that you are confused, the so-called cannibalism has a short mouth, and a short hand.

Let's talk about it, it turns out that there are still some things left in the five guards and six passes under your command? ”

Qin Haoming said unhurriedly.

It's not that he deliberately wants to target Wang Pu, it's just that he needs a chess piece to tear open the big net of Jin Shang, and Wang Pu is just right.

"The lower officials know their mistakes."

Wang Pu kowtowed to Qin Haoming, and after he got up, he was already in tears.

"Although you have been demoted to a deputy general, after all, you are a member of the second rank, and it is not good for the governor to directly deal with you here.

In the post of the general soldier of Datong, you have also been in office for some years, and you will explain clearly what crimes you have.

Paperwork, recording of confessions. ”

Qin Haoming looked at him and said slowly.

"Yes, my lord......"

Wang Pu didn't dare to hesitate at all, knelt on the ground, and trembled and summoned all the money he had made over the years.

How much is the filial piety of the Jin merchants, and how much is the filial piety of the generals of the border towns of Datong, among which the generals of each town are empty quotas and deduct military salaries.

In the various guards, military materials were smuggled to Jiannu through Jin merchants.

When you see it, you open and close your eyes. Although there is a slight omission in the number, it is generally true.

The total number of them is three million taels of silver.

The general army of Datong, that is an excellent fat difference, guarding five and six passes, and close to the border, casually for a year, it is hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, not to mention that Wang Pu has worked for so many years.

Recruit three million taels, that's too little, but it's almost the same as falling into your own pocket.

The general soldier is different from the governor, the first is a civil official, and the second is a figure in the political core, and there is almost no need to bribe any high-ranking officials, and there are even Beijing officials who want to convince the governor of Xuanda.

This is all you come and go, the officials in the capital, there is a protégé who has been transferred to the three towns under the rule of Xuanfu, and they don't have to find the governor of Xuanda to take care of it.

If everyone faces each other, they will save money on exchanges.

And the general soldier is a military general, and the Ming Dynasty governs the military with civility, and the military general has to be impeached if he has a little trouble. Even if it's okay, it's not welcome.

Therefore, there are more places to spend money, and in which year are you not allowed to give gifts to the members of the Beijing Division, how dare you put all the money into your own pocket?

As for half of these millions of taels of silver, they were all sent to the Beijing officials.

As for who he bribed himself, Wang Pu did not hide it, the officials of the military department had to be dealt with from top to bottom, and the three major officials of the household department should also be honored.

After all, if the money is to be allocated from the household, how can it not be divided?

The officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate also had to say that they had impeached themselves in the province. The officials of the cabinet are always indispensable for ice and carbon respect, so many people together, can they spend less?

These are all unwritten unspoken rules, everyone knows it, even Qin Haoming knows it.

Wang Pu explained clearly who he had received money and who he had given gifts.

The crime of bribery plus smuggling, when combined, should be a capital offense. The old and young in the family, at worst, have to spread a male army and a female hair and education workshop.

After finishing speaking, Qin Haoming asked Wang Pu to sign and draw.

"Wang Pu, such a sin, even if you are dissatisfied with the door, your family will not be able to escape a benefit.

However, for the sake of your ability and honesty, and without concealing and quibbling about your crimes, this governor will ask the emperor to be lenient and try not to implicate your family. ”

"Thank you Governor Qin, thank you Governor Qin......" Wang Pu said bitterly.

While saying this, he kowtowed again and again, he knew that he was certain to die, and whether he could involve his family or not was already the greatest extrajudicial grace.

If someone else said this, it might not be accurate, but this was said by Qin Du, and he still believed it.

"This governor knows that in Xuanda Border Town, you are not alone in eating empty salaries, only you and Jin Shang are eye-catching, but why are you only holding on to you, do you want to know the reason?"

After getting Wang Pu's confession, Qin Haoming was in a good mood, staring at Wang Pu's somewhat resentful expression, and said with a smile.
