"Fight the fire!" Ye was also stunned when he saw such a fire. Hurriedly command the soldiers and nearby villagers to put out the fire. After hundreds of soldiers and civilians have been put to death. Finally, the fire did not spread widely.

"Let's see if there are any useful clues!" Seeing the ruined Qiu Chuchang Mansion, Ye Guan still sighed in his heart, he walked so fast, he ran fast enough, and the person behind the corruption case ran faster.

Lu Si died, the people of Xinglong Grain Store went to the empty building, Qiu Chuchang's mansion was burned clean by a fire, and all the clues were cut off when they were about to be connected. This feeling made Ye Guan very depressed in his heart.

Damn it, I don't believe you're running ahead of me every step of the way! You fucking think you're Liu Xiang!

"Back to my lordship, two dead bodies were found in the house, and according to preliminary speculation, it is very likely that they are Qiu Chuchang, a subordinate official of the Yamen." After a detailed diagnosis, Ye Guan preliminarily concluded that the dead body under the ruins and the broken wall may be Qiu Chuchang, the owner of the Xinglong Grain Shop, which is related to the grain relief embezzlement case, and the other corpse is likely to be Qiu Chuchang's only son, and Emi thought that he also died here with Qiu Chuchang.

"What other clues are there missing?" Ye Guan frowned and looked at the two burnt corpses in front of him that were unrecognizable.

"If you go back to your lordship, you won't see any problems for the time being, but when you go back and check carefully, maybe you will get other clues." I couldn't find any useful clues for a while.

"Did Li Xing confess in prison?" Ye watched Qiu Chuchang may not be able to find clues for a while, but suddenly thought of Li Xing, the former prefect of Baoding, who was in prison.

"No, he only said that this case of grain relief corruption was transferred away by him and the Lusi, and was sold to Qiu Chuchang, a subordinate official of the Baoding Mansion, who also belonged to the officialdom of Baoding Prefecture, and thought that after selling the new grain and lending it back, he could make up for the deficit of the Lusi, but I didn't expect you to come so quickly, and the accounts of the Lusi could not be made up, so he recruited them." The person in charge of the interrogation replied.

"Hey, it looks like he's done it thoroughly." Ye looked at the Qiu Chuchang Mansion that was still smoking, and sneered, he didn't believe Li Xing's confession at all. If things are really as simple as Li Xing said, is it necessary for people outside to kill Qiu Chuchang?

"Seal up this mansion for me, and then send someone to investigate it carefully, I don't believe they can completely cut off the clues in a hurry! I'll arrest all the suspicious people who come near here! Ye Guan still didn't believe that anyone could really do it seamlessly, and left a group of people to carefully investigate Qiu Chuchang's mansion.

Hearing the case of the court officials being exterminated, Wang Jing, the governor of Baoding, Lu Hua, the envoy of Beizhili, and Xu Tai, the political envoy of Beizhili, hurried to the yamen of the prefect of Baoding, wanting to listen carefully to Ye Guan's investigation, after all, Ye Guan was holding a brocade guard in his hand, which was different from those ordinary officials and fast arresters, more experienced and more alert.

"Master Ye, I don't know if you have found any gains from Qiu Chuchang?" Wang Jing first asked the question that the other two adults wanted to ask.

"I haven't gotten any news for the time being, they reacted so quickly, I suspect that some of us may have colluded with Qiu Chuchang, so after my people suffered losses in Xinglong Grain Shop, Qiu Chuchang may go to his backer for help as soon as possible, and the person who learned the news will kill Qiu Chuchang as soon as possible, and at the same time send someone to burn Xinglong Grain Pu and kill Qiu Chuchang." Ye Guan said what he thought to the three biggest officials in front of him.

As Ye Guan finished saying this, Governor Wang Jing and Political Envoy Xu Tai couldn't help but look at Lu Hua, the envoy, everyone in the officialdom knew that Qiu Chu was often Lu Hua's brother-in-law, and if you want to say that the most suspicious, there is really no one else except Lu Hua.

"Hmph, could the old man be the one to do such a thing? If the old man is really his backstage, it is easier and simpler to let him disappear or let him take the blame alone than to kill him, and it will save you from turning your attention to me! Lu Hua saw several people looking at him suspiciously, and immediately snorted coldly, indicating that he had nothing to do with the murder of Qiu Chuchang.

Hearing Lu Hua say this, Ye Guan and the others also felt that what Lu Hua said was indeed reasonable. What officialdom pays attention to is the question of who will bear the black pot. Li Xing, the prefect of Baoding, is obviously not the mastermind of this case of grain relief embezzlement, but he has to say that he is the mastermind, for what? It's not to keep out his own backstage, so that the backstage can be kind to his descendants.

Na Qiu Chuchang is just a petty official from the sixth grade, far inferior to Li Xing, who was born in the two lists. If Lu Hua was Qiu Chuchang's backstage, Lu Hua didn't need to kill Qiu Chuchang at all, but promised him a heavy promise, Qiu Chuchang knew that the death penalty was inevitable, and added Lu Hua's operation to ensure that Qiu Chuchang's descendants would be treated well, then he would definitely take all the charges down. Then this case can be satisfactorily resolved here. There is no problem at all, it is definitely easier than killing a court official.

"Although Lu Hua may not have a direct relationship with the grain relief embezzlement case, maybe this is Lu Hua's plan?" Ye Guan was also not sure whether Lu Hua was the murderer who killed Qiu Chuchang.

………………

Jingshi Cabinet, Wenhua Palace.

Wenhua Hall was originally used as the prince's palace, the Ming Dynasty Tianshun, Chenghua two dynasties, before the prince ascended the throne, were the first regent in the Wenhua Palace, so as to be familiar with national affairs, so as not to be familiar with government affairs after ascending the throne made a big mistake, but the later prince was many years young, and the cabinet became more and more powerful, so the Wenhua Hall gradually changed from the palace where the emperor educated the prince to deal with government affairs.

It was supposed to be twenty-five years old, and the emperor should have rested after a busy year.

However, Emperor Hongji's good mood was defeated by a fold handed over by the cabinet.

"The Peeling Temple is useless!" Emperor Hongzhi saw that such a big thing could happen to Baoding Mansion, which had not yet left the northern Zhili, not to mention the problems of the other fourteen provinces in the world. He thought of Zhu Yuanzhang's establishment of land temples next to yamen all over the country, which was the place where the Ming Dynasty specially skinned those corrupt officials and corrupt officials. But no matter how severe the punishment is, it still can't stop the corrupt officials who have followed one after another, so after he saw what happened to Ye Guan's excerpt, he didn't get angry, but just sighed deeply.

Ye Guan wrote down all his experiences in Baoding Mansion and gave them to the cabinet. The three elders of the cabinet saw that this matter was not small, and the relief grain of tens of thousands of displaced people was greedily exhausted, and the prefect of Baoding was imprisoned. According to the inspection, the subordinate officials were killed. I didn't dare to be really arbitrary, so I deliberately handed the fold to Xiao Jing, the eunuch who was the master of ceremonies. Xiao Jing is an old man inside, and he will retire in a few years, and Emperor Hongzhi has gradually stayed away from those evil demons in the past few years, so he didn't dare not really report it to the emperor, so the internal minister handed the excerpt to the emperor again. (ps: Not all excerpts will be read by the emperor, and what can be placed in front of the emperor's dragon book case can only be seen by the emperor after being screened by the local government, the six central departments, the cabinet, and the celebrant several times.) Therefore, so many problems in the Ming Dynasty are also related to the fact that the cabinet has the control of the vote and the master of ceremonies and the master of ceremonies has the emperor's approval of the red. This is also the reason why many of the dragon sons and grandsons of the old Zhu family do not go to court, and what the emperor sees is what others want him to see, so what else does the emperor have to do? It's better to go to the harem to compare sumo with the concubines, and go to the inner house to count how much money you have. ）

"Is this prosperous era of Hongzhi that all nations surrender and courtiers praise is really a prosperous era? Why is the world still so unsettled? Emperor Hongzhi frowned, as if reviewing what he had done in the past sixteen years.

………………

"Master Lu, that Qiu is often your brother-in-law, didn't you see the slightest sign of it before he was killed?" Although Ye Guan listened to Lu Hua's vow, he still had to give him a try, so as not to be really frightened by him.

"Ye Guan, what do you mean by this! Could it be that he doubts the old man? You are just a petty official of the Sipin Datong Mansion who came up by flattering the prince, and you actually asked me! When Lu Hua heard Ye Guan say this, he immediately stood up, pointed at Ye Guan's nose and scolded.

Lu Hua is also angry about the murder of Qiu Chuchang. Originally, when Qiu often went to him to ask him for help, Lu Hua did have the idea of killing him alone. However, although Lu Hua knew that Qiu Chuchang was involved in the case of embezzlement of grain relief, he Lu Hua did not personally participate in this case, but just received a lot of Bing Jing from the Baoding Prefect and Qiu Chuchang. He wanted Li Xing to take the blame, or because it was Qiu Chuchang who conspired with Li Xing to embezzle grain, and Qiu Chuchang was his brother-in-law, so he brought the news that he guaranteed that Li Xing's two sons could be officials, and Li Xing took all the charges on his shoulders. I don't need to really, my brother-in-law killed him.

Later, Qiu Chu often came to him and said that he had arrested Ye Guan's people, and Lu Hua felt that the matter might not be able to stand the end, so he panicked. Hurry up and give Qiu Chuchang two options, one is to leave a root for the old Qiu family, bear all the charges, and find a way to keep his son. The second is to hurry up and run away with the gold and silver, Lu Hua can help him in some aspects. Qiu Chuchang thought about it and finally thought that it might be better to run away, so he decided to run away. However, Qiu Chu often felt that his brother-in-law was still a little benevolent, and before leaving, he said that he would give him a copy of the account books of his years with some officials of the imperial court and the central government. He was sure that the dead body was Qiu Chuchang, because he had said that he was going to run away, how could he still take his own son to self-immolation? Even if he is really caught and imprisoned, it is only Qiu Chuchang who is in prison alone, Lu Hua himself can completely protect his son, and Qiu Chuchang has no need to do this.

"Lord Lu, it is true that the lower officials are not inferior to the officialdom by relying on the imperial examination, but the official position of the lower officials is earned by the lower officials one by one. Huating County resisted the Japanese, entered the salt law, impeached and suppressed the yamen of the Ministry of Officials, and inspected the corruption case of the border army in Datong Prefecture, which one was not done by the lower officials themselves. Isn't it much better than Lord Lu sitting in the study? Could it be that Lord Lu himself thinks that he is more discerning than the Holy Lord and the elders? When Ye Guan heard Lu Hua say this, he also fought back.
