Wu Chang sat opposite each other as Gao Yifei, the judge Yamen, and Ma Yun and Boss Ma sat opposite each other, and there was a relaxed atmosphere between their eyebrows.

"Done?" Gao Yifei asked.

"Don't worry, brother-in-law, each of them stuffed 20,000 taels of silver tickets, and they were served with delicious food and drink all the way, and they were happy one by one." Ma Yun is not very old, the means of bribery are very clever, and if he does not make a move, he will make a big deal of 20,000 silver tickets, which is a spare flower, and the hard work of the working family who came thousands of miles away to investigate, in addition to the 20,000 silver tickets, there are also beautiful women throughout the process, serving delicacies and wine, waiting for the investigation team to return to Beijing to close the case, and there are more benefits to them.

"Good job, these money is not unjust, you must know that every member of the investigation team is an official in charge, and you will have your benefit in the future if you trap them."

"Brother-in-law is taught." Ma Yun looked humbly taught, in fact, he already knew this, but he respected his brother-in-law to make a humble appearance.

"On my side, you don't have to worry about it, a few days ago, I asked Xiong'er to dispose of a house slave who eats inside and out, and no one will be able to leak our internal situation in the future, by the way, your father-in-law's side has to move around a lot, Lord Lin is weak, and there are some repetitions, you have to do his job well."

"The younger brother obeyed his brother-in-law's teachings, and went to his father-in-law's house to visit him. If it's the South Factory, I'm afraid it's still a little troublesome. "Don't look at Ma Yun's young age, his vision is very unique, he has always thought that Nanchang is the most difficult yamen in the Ming Dynasty, and he can hide as far as he can, Liu Ziguang, that person is too hard in the background, too strong, and arrogant, and he doesn't talk about routines, which is definitely not easy to get along with.

"Naturally, it is to ventilate the South Factory, but you don't have to worry about most of the information he collected was killed before it was passed on, and the thing was done very neatly, without the slightest handle, the South Factory could only suffer a dumb loss, besides, Huguang was judged by them, can the South Factory investigate? The imperial court has already followed, Nanchang can only investigate the spies of the Fanbang barbarians, and domestic cases are not allowed to interfere with them, they have crossed the line, not to mention that our Metropolitan Procuratorate will not agree, Jinyiwei and Dongchang will not give up, hum him, Liu Ziguang, a hairy boy, wants to bring down the old man, but it is not so easy, this time the old man prepared some fierce materials for him, and the management made him uncomfortable for a while. ”

Gao Yifei is a man in his forties, he has been an official for many years, but he has not lived in vain, he has a lot of experience in fighting, he knows that the best defense is to attack, so now there is a South Factory undercover agent at home, and immediately collect Liu Ziguang's bad deeds in the Huguang period, not to mention that he really let him find a few cases of Liu Ziguang accepting bribes from builders, and the human and material evidence are all there, and it can be concluded that Liu Ziguang framed Ma Yun because he could not get any benefits from the bidding for the river embankment project, and the other case was that Liu Ziguang instructed the tomb robber Hu Ba to dig up the ancient tomb and steal the funeral property, although this crime is not big, but the nature is bad, and it is seriously examined, it belongs to the crime of digging up the grave, and he is sentenced to 3,000 miles in exile, although Liu Ziguang is a marquis, he cannot escape the lawThese two charges are the tools of struggle carefully prepared by Gao Yifei, and if Liu Ziguang still targets him, he will throw them out and fight back.

Although Liu Ziguang is very horizontal, but he is just a reckless martial artist, as long as he is still an official of the Ming Dynasty, he must abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and he can be rude to the common people, and he can't do it to civil officials above the fourth grade, which is equivalent to challenging the entire civil class, since he can't move the advantages of Nanchang, the advantage of Nanchang is gone, playing conspiracy and tricks, investigating and counter-investigating, he is also an expert, and he is also an expert.

Indeed, the young Liu Ziguang and the equally young Nanchang are not experienced in dealing with these old treacherous and cunning corrupt officials, and the marathon lawsuit is not what Nanchang is good at, but this does not affect Liu Ziguang's determination to fight corruption, he is very good at wielding his advantages and defeating his opponents with strange tricks.

After the investigation team returned to Wuchang and interrogated the detained criminals, they set off for Beijing for interrogation, and the interrogation work was handled by officials of the Criminal Department, and the results naturally went without saying, and all of them upheld the original verdict of the Gao people.

*******************************************************************************

On the Yangtze River outside Nanjing, a steam official ship with the flag of Qincha was sailing, and after three days of sailing downstream, the ship had arrived outside the capital, and the report of the investigation team was finally completed, recording what Huguang had seen and heard during this trip, as well as the testimony of various witnesses, and finally concluded that the statements provided by Zhenwuhou were purely false accusations, and that the contractor Ma Yun and local officials were clean, and this investigation result still saved Liu Ziguang a little face, because it did not directly say or insinuate that these false accusations were instigated by Zhenwuhou.

The report was written by the deputy envoy, and the names of all the members of the investigation team were signed, and the private seal was used, and finally Xu Jiujing was asked to sign and seal, and after the seal was completed, it could be presented to the cabinet.

But after all, Xu Jiujing is making this report not count without his signature, so Lord Wang is still holding the report and asking him to sign it, Xu Jiujing read the report again, sighed and said: "Lord Wang, do you believe that what is written in this aspect is true?" ”

Wang Yushi said: "When Lord Xu pretends to be true, you still don't understand the truth that it is false, as long as you sign it, this thing is true, and no one can overturn it." ”

Xu Jiujing had no choice but to pick up the brush before and after, and just when he wanted to put down the pen, suddenly the official ship shook violently, and the brush poked on the paper and made a cloud of ink. Then there was an angry roar from the bow of the ship: "Who are you! Dare to intercept the official ship! ”

An arrogant voice replied: "Lao Tzu, it is Nanchang Fanzi who received information that there are Manchu spies on your ship, and now they are going to search on the ship!" ”

Hearing the commotion, the members of the investigation team walked out of the cabin one after another, but when the gang saw so many high-ranking officials in red robes, they did not restrain at all, but even more people went crazy, rushed to the official ship, and ordered the ship's boss to stop the boiler fire and anchor to receive inspections.

It's insane! Nanchang Fanzi actually wanted to check the official ship, what is the difference between this and rebellion? The official ship with the dragon flag represents the dignity of the emperor, and a few small fans can say that they can check it? The officials were furious and shouted: "Can you check the daring of the dog?" ”

The fans held their waist knives and said arrogantly: "We are not going to search the Qincha, but to search the Manchu spies, according to reliable sources, there are explosives hidden in this ship, in case they are transported into the capital, can you afford it?" Don't get out of the way yet. ”

The adults were so angry that they shook their hands, and now it is Xiucai who has encountered soldiers, and it is unclear that the investigation team has a few errand guards with waist knives, but it is not enough to scare the people to deal with Nanchang Fanzi, so they have no choice but to ask Xu Jiujing to come forward, Xu Jiujing saw that it was Nanchang's fanzi, and suddenly his heart moved: "Okay, this official will let you search for things, and you can't find out, but this official wants to participate in your admiral in the Golden Palace." ”

This can be understood as a threat, but also as allowing a search, so the fans went into the cabin and searched wildly, and after a short time, a large number of silver tickets were found from the small bedside cabinets of the officials or the luggage they carried with them, and they were bearer promissory notes with a face value of 1,000 taels.

The officials were so angry that they were trembling, didn't they say that they were investigating the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the spies were looking for explosives, how did they turn up people's luggage, and they also turned over these terrible silver tickets, and these people were obviously here to find fault.

However, the adults were not very afraid, because the silver ticket did not mean anything, and there was no name written on it, who could know that it was bribe, so Wang Yushi drank and asked, "What do you want?" What is the crime of tammagmaging an official's luggage without authorization? ”

The leader of the fan sneered: "I want to ask you, what do you do with so many silver tickets, you five people have 100,000 taels of silver tickets, which is enough to recruit troops and horses into the capital." ”

Wang Yushi was so angry that the other adults were also furious, and they rebuked the leader of the fan, and asked him what the law of the Ming Dynasty prohibits from carrying silver tickets? The leader of the fan did not answer, but just looked at the silver tickets, asked his subordinates to return them, and then said a word of disturbance and turned to leave.

was searched for some reason, and the investigation team was very angry, and at the same time wondered what Liu Ziguang wanted to do? Did he already know some secrets? Only Xu Jiujing had an indiscognizable smile on his face.

The boat they were on was a very strange iron-hulled boat, and when they left the official ship a hundred zhang away, they quietly dived into the underwater cabin, and Liu Ziguang, who was wearing a linen submarine uniform, was talking to Zhu Youxiao.

"Your Majesty, you have seen it, except for Lord Xu, each of them has received a bribe of 20,000 taels of silver, and the numbers of these silver tickets have been copied, and when you turn around and Ri Shengchang's account book, you will know who issued the tickets, and even Qin Cha dares to bribe this kid, who is very brave." Liu Ziguang said.

"It turns out that you called me to test the new submarine for this matter, I was really almost kept in the dark by them, humming these corrupt guys, wait tomorrow to see how they justify themselves!" Zhu Youxiao said indignantly.
