Moving forward all the way, Jiang Changyuan also opened the curtain from time to time to watch, during which he would also show a satisfied smile from time to time, the planning and environment of this part of the country seemed to be much better than other places. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

However, suddenly there was a magnificent mansion opposite, which instantly attracted Jiang Changyuan's gaze, mainly because the mansion was too attractive, the structure, the decoration, it was much better than many palaces in the palace, which was really amazing.

Could it be that the merchants of my Great Ginger are already so rich that they can match my wealth?

"Liu Jin, who built that mansion over there?" Jiang Changyuan tilted his head and asked.

Liu Jin followed Jiang Changyuan's gaze, and was surprised for a while, outside this palace, he didn't come out much, and speaking of which, he really didn't know who built this mansion.

"This, hey, that person seems to be Hu Shangshuli from the Ministry of Industry!" Liu Jin's eyes fell on Hu Zuo, who was in high spirits and pointing, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while, Hu Shangshu, when did you receive the task of building such a mansion, you must know that building such a mansion can make a lot of oil and water.

"Hu Aiqing?" Jiang Changyuan fixed his eyes and saw that it was indeed Hu Zuo, but Hu Zuo was making a simple plan for the mansion at this time, what was the situation? Isn't Hu Shangshu building a palace for me? And said that there are not enough craftsmen and it will not be able to be built in a short time?

However, the number of craftsmen used in this mansion on Hu Shangshu's side is huge, and it is more than enough to build a palace, this Hu Zuo, as the secretary of the Ministry of Works, actually doesn't take my affairs to heart!

Jiang Changyuan was furious in an instant, and immediately didn't even go to the sacrifice, and directly ordered to go back to the palace for a court meeting.

When Shen An received the news, he couldn't help but feel excited, Jiang Chao's version of the anti-corruption case was about to be released.

At the same time, Shen An even made people spread some of the things they found about Hu Zuo, and for a while, the people talked about it.

"Lao Zhao, do you know that the huge mansion in the west was actually built in secret by Hu Zuo, the head of the household."

"What? Repeat, wasn't that mansion built by wealthy caravans from the West? ”

"Are you mistaken, I heard that the mansion was built by the Ye family, and it was the Ye family who sold pastries to the palace."

"The news is true, someone has seen Hu Shangshu often come and go in that mansion!"

"Oh my God, how much does Hu Shangshu have in a year? I once watched that mansion from afar, and it was simply a mansion that could only be found in heaven. ”

"Shh......h Don't spread the word, if this thing gets out, it will be terrible. ”

Gossip is a thing, whether it is placed in modern times or in ancient times, Shen An feels that this is a very useful thing, no, in a short period of time, the news of Hu Shangshu's construction of a mansion spread, and there was a lot of discussion in the entire Beijing Division.

Many scholars also attacked it in groups, including many people who had failed in the imperial examination, and the irony of the readers, that is, to compose poems and articles!

There are some eccentrics among the readers, who are very talented in plagiarizing or adapting other people's articles and poems, and a poem "Hao Fu Ming" adapted from "Burrow Ming" instantly spread throughout the academic world.

Hao Fuming's poems will not be repeated, all in all, there are many witty sentences, depicting the luxurious darkness of the upper class of the Jiang Dynasty, and invisibly attacking the corrupt lives of many high-ranking officials and nobles.

The people's sentiment is boiling, and the pressure of public opinion is like a tide, wave after wave of ferocity.

On the Jinluan Palace, Jiang Changyuan looked at Hu Zuo who was trembling down majestically, and his expression was so gloomy that it was terrifying.

"Hu Aiqing, didn't my palace say that there is a shortage of craftsmen?" Jiang Changyuan tried to restrain the anger in his heart, and tried to speak in a calm tone.

Hu Zuo was sweating profusely, and his heart was already in turmoil, and His Majesty seemed to know about the construction of his residence in Xicheng.

In fact, this is indeed the case, Jiang Changyuan wanted to cultivate the silver taels and manpower of the palace by him and he embezzled part of it to build his mansion, he didn't know how many things he had done before, but fortunately, he did it clean and secret, and even he rarely appeared in the mansion.

But who knew that Jiang Changyuan, who had never gone out much, was going to the western suburbs to worship, and the sacrifice was actually just that, but Jiang Changyuan took the route and happened to pass by his mansion again. You must know that the emperor usually chooses a sparsely populated path when he travels secretly, and Hu Zuo believes that although the road on the side of his mansion is not an avenue or something, there are many newcomers.

"This, this Your Majesty, the minister was confused for a while, and the minister was confused for a while, and he was ......" Hu Zuo didn't even admit himself, and said the matter in one go.

"Bastard!" Jiang Changyuan heard it loudly, "You are a bully, a deception!" I will punish you with death! Jiang Changyuan was really angry, what happened recently always made him angry,

"Your Majesty, the minister was confused for a while, Your Majesty thought that the minister was conscientious for my big Jiang, Your Majesty ......" Hu Zuo snorted and cried, seeing that begging Jiang Changyuan had no effect, and turned to kneel and walked towards the crown prince Jiang Yingwu.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you persuade Your Majesty, you persuade Your Majesty."

Jiang Yingwu's face was black, and he took a few steps back directly, without saying a word.

Hu Zuo's face was like ashes in an instant, and even Xu Shiwen was cold in his heart, the prince really didn't miss the old feelings, after all, Hu Zuo was on the prince's side before, which made Xu Shiwen worry about his future.

The other two Shangshu wanted to go up to intercede with Hu Zuo, but looking at the prince's situation, they both sighed in their hearts and were silent.

At this moment, a little eunuch presented a paper letter, Jiang Changyuan looked at it, his face was gloomy, and he directly tore the paper to shreds.

"Hu Zuo, as an official of the imperial court, you are in an important position in the Ministry of Works, I originally expected you to do a good job for the imperial court, but I didn't expect that in this northern construction and civil engineering matter, you actually coveted so much silver taels, and how many projects were delayed, I immediately decided to remove you from your position, immediately put you in prison, and choose a day to behead!" Jiang Changyuan tore up the piece of paper and then brushed it away directly, and the shredded paper was picked up by some ministers, and the evidence of Hu Zuo's corruption could be seen scattered on it.

A group of soldiers walked in and escorted Hu Zuo away, and after the ministers dispersed, the prince was left alone standing in place with a gloomy face.

Hu Zuo was imprisoned, Shen An received an order to raid the house, Shen An led a team of people to go in a hurry, Hu Zuo has embezzled a lot of silver taels in recent years, in the process of raiding the house, at first the Jinyi Guard, who was promoted to a hundred households, secretly gave Shen An a lot of good things, the two acted secretly, tacitly, but also quite tacitly.
