After Li Anbang was born, many nobles in the capital came to the Guogong Mansion to visit Zhou Yuting and Li Anbang's mother and son. The update is the fastest, the most stable, the fastest update, and the fastest eye-to-eye

After all, he is only Li Anbang's grandfather, and Li Anbang's family affairs are still decided by Li Yuntian, who is his father.

On the fifth day of Li Anbang's birth, an attendant came to the palace and read out the holy edict of Emperor Hong Xi, and named Li Anbang as a martial arts general of the fifth grade, which was two levels higher than Li Yuntian in terms of rank.

However, General Wude is the official rank of a military official in the Ming Dynasty, similar to a military rank, not a military position, but it just means that Li Anbang can enjoy the salary of a military official of the fifth grade.

The so-called official rank represents the rank and status of the official in the officialdom, corresponding to the specific first grade, second rank and other grades.

Take Li Yuntian as an example, he is an official of Zhengliupin, the civil official title is "Chengde Lang", and the official position is the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate Huguang Dao and the Jishi of the Hanlin Academy.

When Ming officials received their salaries, they received them according to their official ranks, not their official positions.

As soon as Li Anbang was born, he was awarded the title of martial officer of the fifth rank by Emperor Hongxi, and received the title of military attache of the fifth grade, which shows that Emperor Hongxi was very kind and favored Li Yuntian.

During this period, Li Yuntian got a good news from Yang Yungui, Yang Yungui asked people to pretend to be thieves to break into Niu An's outer room in Tongzhou City, stole some property and deliberately alarmed the people in the house, and then hid in the dark to monitor Niu An's outer room.

Knowing that the house was stolen, Niu An's outer room branched out of the family, hurriedly went to an inconspicuous utility room, closed the door and stayed inside for a while before coming out, the expression on his face was much more relaxed.

In this way, there must be something strange in that utility room, even if it is not hidden account books, then it must be something else, and there is a yankuai is Niu An's greed for money.

With this news, for Li Yuntian, the Jingcang and Tongzhou Cang cases can be said to be all ready, and only Dongfeng is owed, and this Dongfeng is the transaction of the first batch of old grain in Jingcang.

Counting up, Li Yuntian has secretly investigated Jingcang and Tongzhou warehouse for nearly a year, and has already figured out the collusion between Niu An and those grain merchants and salt merchants, coupled with the information provided by Lu Dacheng, he has a clear idea of the context of the case.

In fact, it is not difficult to catch Niu An and the others, without waiting for them to deal with the old grain, as long as they raid the fake granaries, they can be wiped out.

Although Niu An and others can cheat on the books, the granaries marked as old rice are filled with new rice, and Niu An and others are inescapably guilty for this alone.

It's just that in this way, both the momentum and strength of the case are much weaker, after all, not everyone has stolen goods, Niu An can also quibble that they attempted to commit a crime, and if they can't get the previous account books, there is no good way to deal with him, and the torture will definitely summon a strong response from the six departments.

So if you want to make the case solid, you must get all the stolen goods, if you add the account books, then it will be perfect, such a large sum of money, if you poke it out, it will definitely be a sensational effect, and it will also implicate more people in the household, this is the purpose of handling this case, otherwise Li Yuntian will be full and waste so much energy on it.

One morning in early February, Wenyuan Pavilion.

Chen Tianxun, the right deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Jin Youzi, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion and the right attendant of the household department, were called by Yang Shiqi to listen to Li Yuntian's introduction of the Jingcang and Tongzhoucang cases.

"Li Yushi, is this case really as strict as you said?" After Li Yuntian finished telling what he had found, Jin Youzi asked with a frown, he never expected that there would be such a big mess in the household department.

Although he served as the right attendant of the household department, Jin Youzi had little influence in the household department, he was born in Hanlin review, and he has been acting by the emperor's side, so he has no experience in major ministries, coupled with the current confrontation between the cabinet and the six ministries, those officials in the household department will naturally not obey him.

If the matter of Jingcang and Tongzhoucang is true, once the cabinet strictly investigates at that time, then the only officials of the household department can count on are Jin Youzi, which invisibly increases his prestige in the household department and even the sixth department, and at the same time, there will be people who will come to his door.

Therefore, judging from the results, Jin Youzi will be the biggest winner of this incident, which will be of great help to him in consolidating his position in the household department.

"Jingcang and Tongzhou have been established for nearly 20 years, and I am afraid that the case that Xia Guan has ascertained now is only the tip of the iceberg." Li Yuntian replied worriedly, it was obvious that it was not the first time that Niu An and the others had done this kind of thing.

"Vice President Chen, the emperor has issued an edict to strictly investigate this case, and this official will hand it over to you to host, and let Li Yushi assist you." Yang Shiqi turned his head to look at Chen Tianxun, and said with a stern expression, "Be sure to take down all the people involved in the case!" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, the officials will do their best." Chen Tianxun arched his hand at Yang Shiqi when he heard this, and said in a deep voice, there was an irrepressible excitement in his voice.

For Chen Tianxun, the right deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, if he can be responsible for investigating and dealing with a major case like the Jingtongcang corruption, then he will leave a strong mark on his life history, and he will also become a model case of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which can be described as fame and fortune.

What is particularly rare is that Li Yuntian now has a lot of evidence of Jingtongcang's corruption, and all that remains to do is to wait for the rabbit, wait for Jingcang to deal with Chen Mi and take it down on the spot, catch him alone, and then uncover this shocking case.

Then, Chen Tianxun quietly glanced at Li Yuntian, who was sitting in a precarious position, it seemed that Li Yuntian was really a good general, and he actually gave him such a big case.

If it weren't for Li Yuntian's official position being too low and it would be difficult to control the situation at that time, Yang Shiqi would definitely let Li Yuntian handle this case, and being too sharp would not be conducive to Li Yuntian's future development.

Li Yuntian naturally knows this truth, so he is willing to be Chen Tianxun's deputy, he has already shown his talent, as long as Emperor Hong Xi and the cabinet elders know, this is enough.

Since Yu Qian was demoted to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, the atmosphere in the court was extremely dull and depressing, and everyone was walking on thin ice, for fear of making a wrong step.

The officials of the six ministries have been cautious and secretly waiting for the cabinet to counterattack, but the cabinet seems to have forgotten about this matter and has no intention of attacking the six ministries, and the court has been calm.

For this abnormal phenomenon, the officials of the six departments did not dare to have the slightest slackness, everyone has been up and down for many years, and naturally they will not think that the cabinet will suffer this stuffy loss, and the more calm the cabinet, the more uneasy they feel, and smell the smell of wind and rain.

Li Yuntian, as usual, went back and forth between the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Wenyuan Pavilion, without any abnormalities, and no one would have thought that he had secretly arranged to attack the people of Jingcang and Tongzhoucang.

The night before Jingcang dealt with Chen Mi, Zhou Zheng, the governor of the Gyeonggi Governor's Office, was passed into the palace by Emperor Hong Xi, who bypassed the Ministry of War and gave Zhou Zheng an edict to transfer troops, asking him to mobilize the army of the Gyeonggi Governor's Office to cooperate with Chen Tianxun, the right deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Emperor Hong Xi did not reveal to Zhou Zheng what case Chen Tianxun was going to handle, and Zhou Zheng naturally would not ask too much, and he did not need to ask, because Li Yuntian had already told him about this matter.

The next day, Li Yuntian was on duty in Wenyuan Pavilion and spent the day in a busy manner.

When he was on duty in the afternoon, that is, after getting off work, Li Yuntian did not go home, but quietly took a carriage out of the city and went straight to Tongzhou.

When we arrived at a small town outside Tongzhou City, night had already fallen, and the carriage drove into an inn.

"Your Excellency!" When Li Yuntian pushed open a room on the second floor of the inn, several men in civilian clothes were sitting inside chatting quietly, and when they saw him come in, they all cast vigilant looks, and then the leading man got up and bowed to him.

The man in the lead was none other than Li Manshan, a hundred households in Fusi, Weibei Town, Jinyi, who received an order this afternoon to come to this inn and wait for others to assist the person in handling the case, but he didn't expect the person to come was Li Yuntian.

Li Yuntian hadn't eaten dinner yet, so he asked the shopkeeper to bring steamed buns, porridge and two side dishes, and assigned tasks to Li Manshan and the others while eating.

It was only at this time that Li Manshan knew that they were going to the Tongzhou wharf yard to find a batch of grain waiting to be transferred, and they were going to search a family in Tongzhou City.

At midnight, more than a dozen black shadows appeared on the quiet Tongzhou wharf, which was deserted at this time, and there was no one on the wharf, only a few people on night were yawning and patrolling the storage area of the freight yard.

Under the cover of night, the dozen or so figures quietly came to a warehouse in the reservoir area, and a black shadow opened the lock on the door in twos and threes, and then everyone walked in with a person.

Through the moonlight in the sky, you can see that the person who is surrounded is Li Yuntian, at this time, his expression is stern, his face is sinking like water, and those black shadows are naturally Li Manshan and his Jinyi guards.

Entering the warehouse, the two big men lit the fire, only to see a mountain of grain bags in front of them, which were the processed old grain transported from the Beijing warehouse, and they would live here **, and be loaded on the ship the next day and transported away.

"My lord, it's all the best Jiangnan new rice." Li Manshan randomly checked the color of the rice grains in more than a dozen grain bags, and then held a handful of rice in his hand and reported to Li Yuntian in a deep voice.

"You daring bastards!" Li Yuntian picked up some rice grains from his hand and stared at them, his face turned cold, and he coldly held the rice grains in his hand, "Inform the people in the capital that you can do it tomorrow." ”

After speaking, Li Yuntian left expressionlessly, because the matter is important, so the quality of the rice grains in the grain bag was personally checked by him, and now it has been determined that it is new rice, so Niu An and the others will wait to cry tomorrow.

The next morning, as soon as the gate of Tongzhou City was opened, Li Yuntian led Li Manshan and others to gallop in on horseback and went straight to the residence of Niu An's outer room to search.

The people in the house were defenseless, and they were soon charged and detained in the hall, all of them looking frightened, and they did not know what was happening.

Because Li Yuntian and his entourage were dressed in civilian clothes and had a fierce face, someone reported to the official, and the arresters in the state government quickly came to check.

A big man guarding the gate flashed the waist card of the Jinyi guards at the catchers, and the catchers retreated in interest to maintain the order of the lively crowd at the scene, secretly guessing what the family had done, and actually alarmed the famous Jinyiwei.

Just when the arrest of those state officials arrived, the search in the courtyard made a heavy discovery, Li Manshan's Jinyi Wei not only found the account book that Li Yuntian wanted from the secret compartment of the utility room, but also gave Li Yuntian a surprise, and found two lists of gifts, which listed in detail the date and amount of money sent to some officials of the household department.

After flipping through the two lists, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Yuntian's mouth, these two books were undoubtedly the killer features that Niu An specially prepared to use for self-protection, but now they have become a life-urging talisman for his life, and at the same time, it has also made the Jingtongcang incident a lot simpler.
