At the same time that Yan Shun was arrested by Yuan Bin, Jiang Fu and others, a total of one town guard eunuch and four garrison eunuchs were arrested in Xuanfu, Wanquan Left Guard, Wanquan Right Guard, Huai Lai Wei, and Huai Anwei, and Yang Neng and Wei Mingtong, Yang Xin and Qian Zhong each led their henchmen or inner guards to one place in case of any unexpected accidents.

However, in the end, Zhu Qizhen was not disappointed. The town guards and the garrison eunuchs and their henchmen were all captured in one fell swoop. And Zhu Qizhen's secret move made the Xuanfu up and down can't help but feel a chill, how could he not have imagined that the Emperor Taishang, who was silent, suddenly stretched out his hand like this and captured all the eunuchs who were powerful in the Xuanfu.

Although they are cold, however, their hearts are more clapping, and even claiming to be fast, after all, these eunuchs are harsh, in Xuanfu, they have not done any good things, but none of the bad things have been pulled down, and the people in the border towns of Xuanfu are afraid of these eunuchs like tigers and wolves.

Not to mention ordinary people, even the civil and military forces of Xuanfu, how many people dare not sell the accounts of these eunuchs? After all, not everyone is the governor of Yang, and not everyone is the governor of Luo. Therefore, after these eunuchs were captured, not only did no one in the Xuanfu civil and military forces want to stand up and squeak for them, but they were secretly stepping up their efforts to collect the mistakes made by these eunuchs, hoping to fall into the well and beat the water dogs.

And their move proved from another aspect how unpopular the system of releasing ministers is, and indirectly made it easier for Zhu Qizhen to handle this case as an iron case, and there was no chance of turning the tables.

"The silver seized was more than 781,400 taels, and the gold was also more than 53,240 taels, and there were also some gold and jade antiques......

"All the garrison eunuchs have residences and residences in Xuanfu City, and after verification, those who serve for these eunuchs are 1,073 soldiers and soldiers on the border of the register, and there are more than 2,300 strong people in Xuanfu, most of these people are those idlers and ruffians who help to abuse."

"As for the fields they occupied, they totaled more than 2,320 hectares, all of which were good and good land......

Zhu Qizhen sat on the couch with a gloomy face, listening to Yuan Bin read a rather thick booklet in his hand, and it took him enough time to finish reading it.

"Yuan Bin, how much silver do I pay a year in taxes?" Zhu Qizhen touched his sour brow because he had been frowning for too long, and asked in a deep voice.

"In the thirteenth year of orthodoxy, the income of the Bank of China was two million eight hundred and seventy-nine thousand seven hundred taels, and the collected land was about 20 million stones, but the local government needed to keep 10 million stones, supply about 6.7 million stones to the clan, and also provide expenses for officials......

-------------------- "Needless to say, hehe, okay, just these five eunuchs of Xuanfu have earned nearly half of my Ming Dynasty's taxes in just a few years." This ability is a hundred times more capable than our officials. Although Zhu Qizhen said this with a smile, when he heard the ears of everyone present, he felt a little stunned and a little uneasy, and he couldn't understand whether Zhu Qizhen was scolding those eunuchs or those officials who governed the people.

Fortunately, Zhu Qizhen did not continue to make such abnormal remarks, and handed the account book to Qian Zhong for him to put away, and then said: "What is the reaction of the civil and military officials of the Xuan Mansion? ”

Yuan Bin said with a smile: "Back to Your Majesty, although all parties have not expressed their positions clearly, in private, they have praised His Majesty the Emperor for his wisdom and decisiveness, and he has done a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people for the Xuanfu." ”

"Huh, huh? I just hope that when the time comes, they won't scold their mothers behind their backs. Well, those antique jades, and put them first, and let someone find a merchant in this area to identify and estimate how much the value is. "In addition, the 300,000 taels of silver originally collected from Guo Mansion have been handed over to Ha Ming to continue to sweep the goods in Xuanfu and the surrounding places. Now that the gold and silver have been seized, and they are of great use. Zhu Qizhen touched his chin and estimated.

Only less than three days later, the originally abandoned military camp outside Xuanfu City was already bustling and noisy, and the military camp that could station 5,000 soldiers and horses was now under the hard work of the eunuchs and servants who were escorted here, and a lot of simple sheds had been erected to shelter from the wind and rain.

Although those eunuch servants are used to being powerful and blessed in ordinary times, but now, seeing that those who are guarding them are not good people, but the elite of the Xuanfu border army specially transferred, after some small disputes occurred on the spot because of food and accommodation, resulting in 37 people being beheaded on the spot, these eunuch servants naturally know that they should do things honestly and behave in a low-key manner.

Anyway, most of these house slaves were sturdy men, and after setting up their own sheds, they began to build the barracks that had been destroyed by the Tile Thorns under the command of the overseers, and restored them to their old appearance as soon as possible.

As for the border soldiers who were rescued from the eunuch's house, they were also transferred here, but their treatment was naturally much better than those domestic slaves, but because of this, everyone felt that they couldn't guess the intentions of Zhu Qizhen, the emperor, what did he want to do?

During this period, in the palace of Zhu Qi Town, Governor Luo Hengxin, Governor Ma Zhengda, Xuanfu Town Chief Soldier Jiang Fu, Xuanfu Town Jinyi Wei Qianhu Yin Zuochu, Xuanfu Town according to Zhao Ziwei and others interrogated the five eunuchs and their important minions, and for nearly five days, they questioned nearly 1,000 people brought by Jinyi Wei and messengers from all over Xuanfu Border Town, and one by one the conclusive confessions were collected and stored after being sealed and drawn.

Until late at night on the fifth day, although they were already physically and mentally exhausted, but they were quite excited, they led two messengers carrying confessions to Zhu Qizhen.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have finally lived up to the trust of His Majesty the Emperor, and so far it has been concluded at night that Yan Shun and other five eunuchs have embezzled state funds, oppressed the good, forcibly seized and plundered, enslaved the border army, colluded with traders to secretly smuggle salt and iron to the grassland, and other cases, with a total of more than 1,300 case files, all of which are conclusive evidence, human and material evidence, and Yan Shun and others have all pleaded guilty."

Looking at the confession that was thick enough to be used as a chair for people to sit on, and then looked at the haggard faces of these five civil and military officials. Zhu Qizhen stood up, bowed his head slightly to the five and smiled: "It's hard work for you to love Qing." ”

"It is the duty of the ministers to be able to eliminate the eunuchs for the country, how dare they say that they are hard." The dark circles on Luo Hengxin's face were very obvious, and the excitement revealed in his hoarse voice could not be concealed.

Zhu Qizhen smiled, stepped forward, picked up the top case file and looked through it roughly, while asking, "How many copies of the case file have been copied?" ”

"According to your majesty's orders, a total of eighteen officials were sent, and a total of nine copies were copied." Luo Hengxin replied. "Your Majesty, why do you have to copy so much?"

"Because it's useful, it's useful." Zhu Qizhen smiled and raised the case file in his hand. "One of them, I want to take it to be printed, so that the border town of Xuanfu and the entire Ming Dynasty will know that these town guards and garrison eunuchs have done a great crime in Xuanfu to ruin the reputation of the court, cause trouble to the army and people of Xuanfu, collude with lawlessness, and secretly communicate with foreign enemies!"

--------------------, "Your Majesty, is it not in line with the norm to do this?" After all, these five eunuchs are ministers after all, if the world knows about it, the face of the heavenly family and the prestige of long live ......" Jiang Fu couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, and he stood up and said with some hesitation.

Zhu Qizhen glanced at Jiang Fu, for this Jiang Da general soldier who has never been very bold, Zhu Qizhen decided that it would be better to explain it, so as to save them from thinking nonsense. "Of these five eunuchs, only one of them was sent by Banzai today, and all of them were sent to the land of Xuanfu in the past. Since it is my mistake, then I will return justice to the military and civilians of the Xuanfu. ”

Hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, everyone couldn't help but be speechless, Zhu Qizhen was telling them, brother, this is his own face, brother himself is embarrassed, what else are you embarrassed about.

But Zhu Qizhen hasn't finished speaking. "I want to make the son of today have nothing to say about the Xuanfu's disposal of these five eunuchs, and let the court officials shut up." Zhu Qizhen's voice was not loud, but when he heard these five people's ears, he couldn't help but feel a slight chill in his heart, and then suddenly it dawned that if the crimes of these five eunuchs were made public to the world, then no one would dare to come forward and squeak for these five eunuchs.

After all, it is not an exaggeration to punish the nine clans for the great crime of communicating with foreign countries. What's more, there are more than 1,000 case files here, one by one, one by one, all of which are evidenced by people and physical evidence, and each case is enough to drop his head once according to the law of the Ming Dynasty. For more than 1,300 years, even if everyone is a hydra, these eunuchs are not enough to cut.

And Zhu Qizhen, the emperor, is at most unknown, but now, he uses thunderous means to eliminate these pests for the country. This kind of behavior that can be corrected by knowing mistakes can win more praise and admiration from civil officials and the people.

Luo Hengxin couldn't help but secretly give Zhu Qizhen a thumbs up in his sleeve, high, really high.

"If His Majesty the Emperor can do this, it will be a blessing for me to be a great country. The old minister felt that in addition to publicizing them, from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, he ordered the officers to circulate these case files to all the states and counties of our Xuanfu, and ordered the states and counties to post public notices to appease the hearts of the people and the army in the border towns of our Xuanfu. After Luo Hengxin rolled his eyes, the joy on his face deepened, and he hurriedly spoke again.

"Well, Luo Lao Aiqing has a great plan, so I have to bother you to work harder." Zhu Qizhen smiled and nodded, agreeing to Luo Hengxin's suggestion.

"In addition, I still have something to worry about Yin Aiqing, you will also take a copy in a while, and send it directly to the Jingshi through your Jinyiwei channel, and Zhao Qing, you will also take a copy and send it directly to the Criminal Department. As for the other one, Jiang Fu will send it to the military department. After all, if the military department came out to talk about it, it would be better if it was to communicate with foreign countries and make the border troops do illegal things. Zhu Qizhen still didn't say something in his heart, that is, according to Yu Qian's surname, this case file is going to be handed to him, hehehe...... －
