In the Forbidden City, Kangxi was going to the study to give instructions, when a little eunuch outside the door came in to report, saying that Li Guangdi was out asking to see him.

After hearing this, Kangxi said lightly: "Xuan" and then continued to bow his head and give instructions.

After a few breaths, Li Guangdi came to Kangxi and made a big salute, Li Guangdi bowed and stood aside, and did not say anything to disturb Kangxi.

Kangxi, who was giving instructions, glanced at Li Guangdi, and said softly: "Guangdi, it's so late, you came to the palace to find me, what's the matter?" ”

"Long live Qiyu, the old minister is here to investigate corruption in the DPRK." After saying this, Li Guangdi paused, and then continued: "In order to implement the order of the imperial court, in recent days, the six ministries of the DPRK and the Central Committee have successively launched self-examination and self-correction matters, and at the same time, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is also investigating and prosecuting those officials involved in corruption.

In just a few days, 82 fifth-grade officials were convicted, 17 fourth-grade officials were dismissed from their posts and their homes were confiscated, nine third-grade officials were detained and interrogated by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, five third-grade officials were put on file for investigation, and three second-grade officials were placed under house arrest for investigation.

However, just now, Shi Yintebu, the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, came to report to the old ministers, saying that when they were investigating Noshko, the director of the Supervision and Arrest Department of the Criminal Department, they found an account book, which involved and involved Qi Shiwu, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

Noshko is Qi Shiwu's old subordinate, who has followed Qi Shiwu for many years, so he has mastered some of Qi Shangshu's secrets, according to Noshko's confession, Qi Shangshu began to collect money like crazy three years ago.

Qi Shangshu used his position to operate a variety of industries in various rich cities across the country, involving tea, sugar, cloth, ceramics, spices, timber, casinos, and green buildings.

In the past three years, Qi Shangshu has amassed a lot of wealth by this means, but the Metropolitan Procuratorate secretly investigated the assets of Qi Shangshu and all his relatives, and did not find the whereabouts of the funds.

Because Qi Shangshu's official position is the second grade, which is the same as Yin Tebu's grade, and Qi Shangshu is deeply relied on by His Royal Highness the Prince, Yin Tebu did not dare to act without authorization, and asked the old minister if he had conducted an in-depth investigation of Qi Shangshu?

After the old minister learned of this, he didn't dare to give instructions in vain, so he came to ask the Holy Lord for an order, and dared to ask long live, whether the Metropolitan Procuratorate had filed a case against Qi Shangshu for investigation? ”

After hearing this, Kangxi put down the brush in his hand, put the fold in his hand aside, frowned and pondered for a moment: "Qi Shiwu? This is an old minister with outstanding achievements, although he has been very close to Yinren over the years, but he is very responsible, and there has been no trace of transgression, and even he has a problem.

Tell Yin Tebu to let him investigate secretly first, and if the news is untrue, withdraw his personnel as soon as possible, so as not to chill the hearts of loyal ministers...... If it is true that Qi Shiwu used his position to accumulate wealth, hum...... Then let Qi Shiwu go to the Imperial Court to confess his crimes. ”

After speaking, Kangxi turned his gaze to the direction of Prince Yinren's Yuqing Palace, and then whispered in his mouth: "Yinren, Yinren, I hope this matter has nothing to do with you, you don't want to break my heart again." ”

Later in the evening, in the Yuqing Palace, the crown prince Yinren was holding a note rolled in the barrel of the pen to watch, after reading it, his face immediately changed greatly, and he hurriedly instructed a eunuch beside him:

"Xiao Shunzi, you quickly go to Qi Shangshu's Mansion and pass on the palace message, informing him to quickly cut off contact with those industries in the outside world, let those industries fend for themselves, and instruct Qi Shangshu to pay attention to him in the near future, the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate have already targeted him."

When Xiao Shunzi left, Yinren's mind could no longer calm down, he got up and came to the window, looked at the sky outside the window, and silently said to himself in his heart: "Tian Wenshun is trapped in the ink corruption case and it is difficult to protect himself, Hu Yingzhong is in danger, the deputy general under Tuo Heqi will be replaced, and now Qi Shiwu is being investigated again, Huang Ama, are you forcing your son?" ”

In front of Yizhuang in the western suburbs of Yangzhou Mansion, Liu Hua came here slowly, because he had been grinding with those officials and lords in the prefect's yamen for a long time, so it was already evening at this time.

Li Jianling forced Liu Hua to interrogate several times, but Liu Hua refused to tell him where Mei Ling and others were held, so angry that Li Jianling slapped the table eighteen times in a row.

Hearing that Liu Hua locked people up in Yizhuang, Huang Baishan and the others were all convinced, and even Li Jianling couldn't speak, seeing that the time was not early, Huang Baishan asked Liu Hua to go to Yizhuang to release Mei Ling and those rich businessmen, and then the two sides confronted each other about the gambling money.

When there was still more than a mile away from Yizhuang, Liu Hua heard a burst of heart-rending howls from the direction of Yizhuang, good guys, I know that the rich businessmen inside are crying for their fathers and mothers, and those who don't know how to do it think that Yizhuang is haunted.

As soon as he came to the gate of Yizhuang, Liu Hua saw two zombies with pale faces, red lips, black eyes, white clothes, and bloodstained chests, who were tiptoeing towards the back of Yizhuang.

And on the west side of the gate of Yizhuang, Da Niu and a group of fast catchers were chatting together: "Brothers, tell me, how many people can be stunned by the two evil ghosts I put on makeup myself?" The impermanence ghost dressed up by Hei Liangzi just now scared the two rich businessmen, and the two ghosts I sent out had to be stunned at the very least.

Da Mu, what are you talking about here? Hurry up and go to the roof and howl twice, and call me as miserable as possible, how the ghost hums, you hum, who is it? Xiao Jiang, you should also prepare, draw yourself into disgust, and then go in and pretend to be a ghost. ”

Hearing that Da Niu arranged the ghost in an orderly manner, Liu Hua was a little surprised, and said in his heart: "This kid usually looks quite simple, but I didn't expect this guy to have a bad idea in his stomach." ”

Liu Huazheng sighed in his heart, suddenly, Da Niu saw him, and then hurriedly ran over: "Vice President Catcher, you are here, according to your orders, I have asked the brothers to dress up five waves of ghosts, the effect is simply too obvious, now there are seven rich businessmen who have fainted, and now they are busy rescuing and saving themselves." ”

After hearing this, Liu Hua gave him a thumbs up: "Okay, big cow, there are a lot of bad ideas in my stomach, I really don't see it usually, do it well, you kid has a future." ”

After saying this, Liu Hua walked to the door, and as soon as he came to him, he heard a cry from inside: "Mom, let us go, help, we pay money, pay as much as we want, we don't gamble anymore, please, let's get out of here, woo woo woo woo ......"

Hearing the crying inside, Liu Hua's eyes rolled, and then hehe, coughed, and shouted loudly: "Sell Taishang Laojun's spirit rune, a genuine spirit rune, 10,000 taels of silver."

This talisman specializes in exorcism and evil spirits, suppressing zombies, and can also prevent evil ghosts from haunting ghosts afterwards, the number is limited, first buy first served, it's late and out of stock, if you want to buy it as soon as possible, don't miss it when you pass by, don't buy it now, you won't have a chance to buy it in the future. ”

As soon as Liu Hua's voice fell, a crazy shout came from inside Yizhuang: "I'll buy, I'll buy, I'll buy as much as I want, quickly send me the spirit rune in." ”

"it...... Is the market so good? Depend on...... The price target is lower. Secretly regretting a sentence, Liu Hua hurriedly instructed Da Niu: "Quick, ride outside to buy some yellow paper and cinnabar, and later, the vice president will personally cast spells and draw talismans." ”
