Chapter 129: Full of Anger and Dense and Thin
Seeing that Zou Yi had something to say, Feng Bao ignored it with his hands behind his back and strode forward. Zhang Cheng, who was following him, first glanced at Zou Yi with questioning eyes, then shook his head lightly and followed with a move.
This means Zou Yi understands that Feng Bao Feng Gonggong is in a bad mood, don't disturb if there is anything, Zou Yi stood there and bowed away, stretched out his hand to touch the two confessions in his arms, hesitated and followed.
Walking out of the scope of the cabinet, Feng Bao said coldly on the way:
"Whose person is that prison in Datong?"
Zhang Cheng didn't hesitate much, and then said:
"Lao Gao's side is Chen Hong's door, and after Chen Hong went down, he saw that he was respectful and competent, and his filial piety was timely, so he didn't move him."
At the time of the Longqing Dynasty, Feng Bao was already a eunuch of Bingbi, and at that time, the eunuch of the palm seal was vacant, and he had the highest call for a substitute, but he did not expect to be squeezed out by Chen Hong, who was supported by Gao Gong, and he had always hated this matter.
Hearing Zhang Cheng say the reason, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then gritted his teeth and said hatefully:
"There is no one above, how dare you be so bold, 40,000 hectares of land, Gao Qing actually dared to share it with others, and we don't know at all, what the result is, Zhang Taiyue found out all the fields this time, just now in the cabinet, let us be embarrassed."
With the mind of the eunuch Feng Bao, who was in charge of the celebrant seal, he was able to say these words on the road, and he was already extremely angry when he thought about it, and Zhang Cheng, as a deputy, had an extremely ugly face.
Zou Yi, who was following behind, was also quick to see the opportunity, stretched out his hand to the sides and in front of him, and all the little eunuchs and palace maids on the road or on both sides told them to dodge quickly, not to get closer.
"Gonggong Feng, Gao Qing is not easy to get here, and the border town generals on the Datong side are like a family with him, and they have a relationship with Yongsheng Boyu's family, which is why they haven't touched him."
Feng Bao's face gradually sank, but he was stunned when he heard this name, and said with questions:
"Yongsheng Boyu family?"
"It's the family that made a marriage with His Royal Highness King Lu, a native of Shanxi, who was awarded the title last year."
King Lu is destined to be a vassal king, and his things are basically not within Feng Bao's consideration, no wonder he doesn't know, hearing that he is Datong's border general and King Lu's father-in-law, Feng Bao snorted coldly and said:
"We won't take care of this matter, how to swallow these acres of land, how to spit it out, Grandpa Zhang, what about the cabinet, you promise, we just need to approve the red approval."
The collection of taxes and the collection and distribution of conscription are all carried out in accordance with the list of acres of land, and there is a rule that the gentry do not pay taxes, so there are often people in the localities who falsify the list of acres and acres, or transfer the fields owned by people without merit and reputation to the names of the gentry in various ways, so that there is no need to pay taxes, and this kind of land also has great benefits.
After Feng Bao finished this temper, he also felt a little out of shape, and entered the house of the celebrant before sighing and saying:
"Thirty years after Jiajing, there has been a shortfall, the southeast is flat, the north is to resist the military expenses of Alta, the silver for disaster relief everywhere has always been to tear down the east wall to make up the west wall, the perennial empty in the treasury can run mice, the top is poor like this, but the fields that can collect taxes below are still swallowed up by them like this, I really don't know what these people are thinking, this Ming Dynasty has collapsed, do they still have benefits."
As he spoke, he looked a little depressed, shook his head and walked into the room, Zhang Cheng did not follow up after opening the curtain, but glared at Zou Yi and reprimanded after putting it down:
"You can't be stunned, Gonggong Feng is like this, you still follow, do you feel good after eating?"
This kind of reprimand is for the good of his own people, Zou Yi hurriedly bowed down to accept it, but after hesitating, he still took out the envelope in his arms, handed it over and said in a low voice:
"There are some important things on Wang Tong's side, and my son can't be the master here, so I still have to wait for my godfather to get an idea!"
"Play well with the Long Live Lord, what glory and wealth will not have him in the future, but he will have to do so many things and cause trouble in vain!"
Zhang Cheng, who was not in a good mood, complained while pulling out the two confessions in the envelope, first browsed the list roughly, the irritability on his face turned into solemnity, and then looked at the confession of the second grandson, this time his face was more serious, and after reading it, he folded the paper and asked in a solemn voice:
"Is this reliable?"
"Back to my godfather, the son sent Jiang Zhonggao is the one who recognizes people without making mistakes, and although this Wang Tong is young, he never deviates from his work, and there will be no falsehood in this matter."
Zhang Cheng hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice:
"You wait outside the door first, and our family will go to see Grandpa Feng."
After speaking, he hurriedly walked in, and as soon as he entered the door of the celebrant eunuch, two eunuchs immediately greeted him, stepped forward and whispered:
"Father-in-law Zhang, the foreign missions we sent in several provinces have sent secret reports to say that the people are very angry about the matter of Qingzhang's land, but they dare not speak out......"
Zhang Cheng snorted and said in a deep voice:
"I'm afraid that they are very angry, they have made so much silver, bought so much land, and they don't have to pay taxes, and now they have to pay the money, and they feel painful to cut the meat, and in the future, such things will be approved back, and you will also give our family a little leisure, you must know the severity."
Zhang Cheng, who has always been kind, said such stern words, and several eunuchs in the hall were a little sneering, but looking at Feng Baohu's appearance just now with his face on his face, everyone was also awe-struck.
Zhang Cheng looked left and right, slowed down his tone and said:
"After a tiring day, I went to the right side of the room to drink tea and eat some snacks, if Qingzhang's affairs are busy, you are still busy."
Everyone is a character with eyebrows, why don't you understand that Grandpa Zhang is driving people out, so he quickly smiled and nodded and exited the room one by one.
Zhang Cheng unfolded the two documents in his hand, hesitated, and walked into Feng Bao's small room, where he could hear the movements outside clearly.
When Feng Bao heard that Zhang Cheng drove everyone out, he immediately knew that this matter was not small, and raised his eyes to look at Zhang Cheng who came over, Zhang Cheng didn't say much, handed over the scroll in his hand with both hands, and said:
"The Wang Tong outside the palace and Zou Yi of the Imperial Horse Prison have found something, this matter is too serious, our family does not dare to decide, please take a look at it!"
Hearing Wang Tong's name, Feng Bao's expression softened, and he said indifferently:
"A young child, he is still old, but he has a little more thoughts, and it is important to do this errand in the martial arts hall......"
Halfway through the words, Feng Bao's attention was all on this document, the more he looked at it, the more serious his face became, and when he saw the confession of Sun Lao Er in the gambling house, he asked out loud:
"Is that true?"
"I have seen it with a powerful and credible person in the palace, and it is indeed as this confession says, Gonggong Feng, this matter is still handled by our reliable people."
"Bastard!! What a jerk!! ”
Feng Bao suddenly slapped the table hard, and after patting, he picked up the tea bowl on the table and fell to the ground fiercely, and after arguing in the cabinet for a day, Shanxi secretly hid the acres of land, which had already made him angry, and seeing that the eunuchs and guards in the palace had such a problem, he couldn't bear it anymore and broke out directly.
There was a sudden commotion in the house, the curtain was immediately lifted, and the guards with knives and Zou Yi rushed in stride, and the important places in the palace, such as the celebrant and the cabinet, were protected by the guards.
Zhang Cheng turned around, waved his hand again and again, and said sharply:
"Get out, get out, I'm not going to do your business here!"
Feng Baoda took a few breaths before he calmed down, and after everyone had withdrawn, he immediately waved the scroll and said:
"Check!! The Jingchang, the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the East Factory went out together, and all the people on the list were interrogated, and they were directly tortured and interrogated, and no matter what happened, they had to report to our family. ”
In addition to printing books, there is also the function of monitoring and investigating the 24 yamen of the palace officials, which belongs to the direct management of the palm print eunuchs, and the eunuchs in charge of the factory and the imperial horse supervisor all wear black robes.
Feng Bao picked up a blank fold, quickly finished writing the order, took his silver seal and stamped it on it, handed it to Zhang Cheng, and said in a solemn voice:
"Father-in-law Zhang, you personally supervise this matter, and you must strictly investigate it, and this news can't be known to the nobles, do you know?"
"Father-in-law Feng, please rest assured, our family knows how important it is."
After speaking, Zhang Cheng bowed down and hurriedly walked out with the fold.
There are a total of 200 people in the factory, divided into five eunuchs in charge, although they have the function of investigation, but their work is to do things in the printing bureau of the factory, proofreading the text and compiling the bibliography, this time Zou Yi hurriedly brought the warrant of the eunuch Feng Bao, who was in charge of the palm print, and the five eunuchs put down their work and hurried over.
“…… The people on this list are all colluding outside the palace, I don't know what illegal things are being done, Gonggong Feng said, investigate fiercely, check carefully, no matter who is involved, you must investigate to the end, and also, this matter must be done secretly, alarming the nobles in the palace, so wait for the punishment! ”
Although it was such a major case, the eunuchs in charge of the factory didn't know how much turmoil they had experienced, and they didn't have any expression on their faces but just bowed down to receive orders.
The status of these stewards and eunuchs is not low, and they all have their own residences and residences, and the eunuchs of the other yamen are very polite to them, and one of the stewards and eunuchs may not have a good appetite, so they specially went to the imperial dining room to greet and ask for two dishes, and a eunuch was sent over there.
Waiting for the eunuch in charge to eat well, the eunuch who delivered the meal packed up the tableware and brought it back, and after returning to the imperial dining room, he told the person in charge of the imperial dining room that there was also a meal ordered somewhere, so it was better to send it himself!
Everyone was reluctant to do such a hard errand, so the eunuch asked for it, so naturally he let him go......
