Although they were humiliated by Nanchang, the adults of the investigation team remained unusually silent, and no one planned to go to Nanchang for this matter, they just handed over the results of the investigation to the cabinet and then to the emperor in accordance with the normal procedure, and discussed the results of the investigation with everyone the next morning.

The emperor of Fengtian Hall sat high on his face, and he couldn't see his joy or anger, and the ministers below discussed the report of the investigation team with serious expressions, and many people showed a reserved expression as I expected, the cadres of Huguang are all good cadres, Ma Yun is also a conscientious businessman, such a result conforms to the will of the people, and shows the harmony and prosperity of the Apocalypse Dynasty, which is really good.

If it weren't for the scene he witnessed yesterday, Zhu Youxiao might be happy to accept the results of this investigation, after all, no emperor wants a large-scale ** phenomenon during his reign, but reality is reality, it is unavoidable, Zhu Youxiao was very angry, but he didn't show his anger on his face, because his teacher told him that as a monarch, he must be happy and angry, and he should not be lustful in order to maintain his majesty.

Zhu Youxiao spread the report submitted by Wei Zhongxian on the Longshu case, looked at it a few times, and his eyes were full of praise for Huguang officials and Ma Yun's words, what iron-clad and decisive decisions, what generosity, Bo Yuntian saw Zhu Youxiao was about to vomit, but he still endured it, and just said lightly: "So, the statements handed over by Zhenwuhou before were all false accusations?" ”

The deputy envoy of the Qin Mission, Lord Wang, came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, presumably the Marquis of Zhenwu is also deceived by the villain, and he does not know about it, and Weichen implores Your Majesty not to punish the Marquis of Zhenwu for this, he is also a patriotic." ”

Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly and ignored him and said, "Then let Zhenwuhou go to the palace and tell me how he was deceived by the villain." ”

As soon as Zhenwuhou heard this, the hearts of the people in the investigation team began to go up and down again, although the official ship of the Nanchang search yesterday did not take away any evidence, but it was also a kind of demonstration by Liu Ziguang, so the officials did not mention the arrogant behavior of Nanchang today, and even helped Liu Ziguang say good things, just because they were afraid that the mad dog of Zhenwuhou would bite people in a hurry.

In the anxious mood of everyone, Liu Ziguang stepped on the Golden Palace again, and what made everyone uneasy was that he was holding a few pieces of paper full of words in his hand......

Zhu Youxiao said: "Liu Aiqing let everyone open their eyes." ”

Liu Ziguang said: "Obey the holy edict Weichen, here is a piece of information written about how generous Ma Yun Ma boss is, now let you see the investigation team from the day of arrival in Wuhan to stay in Hankou Xuangong Restaurant, all the expenses are paid by Ma Yun, the average daily expenses of each adult is three hundred and fifty taels of silver, equivalent to a seven-grade county order for a year, during the boat investigation, each adult and two girls accompany each day, tobacco, alcohol and dishes are the best, the total cost of this trip is 13,000 taels of silver, each adult gets 20,000 taels of silver when he returns to Beijing, of course, this is not a bribe, just a little compensation for the hard work of the adults, the investigation team went to Huguang for only seven daysMa Yun spent 150,000 taels of silver, this is not generosity, but he is generous to others, and these silver are all from the special silver of the river embankment in the household after all. ”

Wang Yushi blushed and argued roughly: "Master Hou is familiar with me, I can sue you for slander, what evidence do you have to say that we accepted bribes from Ma Yun?" And what evidence is there to say that Ma Yun embezzled the construction money of the river embankment? ”

Liu Ziguang said: "Lord Wang, don't be in a hurry, if you want to say that your elders' anti-reconnaissance ability is still very strong, those few large promissory notes are washed quite cleanly, first let the subordinates take the promissory notes to the silver building to buy gold ornaments, and then take the gold ornaments to the pawnshop and exchange them into silver, although you lost a little bit, after all, it was whitewashed, but unfortunately you even forgot your own motto, Skynet is restored and negligent, do you think such a little trick can escape the eyes of God?" You want evidence, right, then let me tell you, the promissory note you got has a number, as soon as you check the account book of Rishengchang, the drawer is Ma Yun, Ma Yun in Rishengchang, Huguang Branch, the ticket was bought into gold in the capital, and then exchanged for silver, and finally deposited in Beijing, Rishengchang was exchanged for a silver ticket, all these procedures have human and physical evidence, if Lord Wang doesn't mind, let the emperor send a eunuch to the house immediately to search, see what is in the small cabinet by the lady's bedside, and the third secret compartment. “

Although it was early spring weather, Wang Yushi's back was still soaked with sweat, he couldn't believe that Nanchang was pervasive, and he spent such a lot of money to investigate himself, but he was still unwilling to admit defeat and forced: "What power does Nanchang have to investigate the court officials, the emperor intends to prohibit the factory guards from investigating the courtiers, does the marquis know the law and break the law?" ”

"Haha, did I say that it was you who investigated the South Factory? Let me tell you that this case was handled by Dali Temple in Lord Cha Xu himself, what else do you have to say? ”

As soon as Liu Ziguang said this, the officials of the investigation team turned pale and sweated like rain, if Xu Jiujing betrayed them, it was really hopeless, at this time, Xu Jiujing came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, what the Marquis of Zhenwu said is true, the investigation team did accept bribes from Ma Yun, this Ma Yun is not a merciful and generous person, but a mercenary person, a generation of roosters and dog thieves, and the old minister, and there is also an investigation report on the river embankment project, and I also ask the saint to preview it." ”

It's over, Xu Jiujing not only betrayed everyone, but also sold Ma Yun and Gao Yifei by the way, everyone looked at Xu Jiujing with a little surprise, when did this old guy throw himself on Liu Ziguang's side?

They don't know Xu Jiujing's suffering, his son is a good gambler, owes 300,000 taels of huge debts, the other party does not force him to pay back the money, only said that he asked Lord Xu to cooperate with the debt, and the debt will be written off, Xu Jiujing is the old Xing Ming, naturally at a glance to see that this is a trap, but helpless, because the other party's background is very strong, even so strong that he can't deal with the Dali Temple Zhengqing, he has no choice but to accept the conditions, when investigating the river embankment project, turn a blind eye, which seriously violates Xu Jiujing's conscience, so that he has been depressed and unhappy, but after returning home yesterday, things have taken a huge turn, and the 300,000 taels of IOUs signed and signed by his son have been retrievedAnd his son, who has always been stubborn, actually knelt down and cried for him, saying that he would never gamble again in the future, and he would be a new person and gain fame, and the huge surprise made Xu Jiujing cry, where did the divine help him? Can you teach your son who is addicted to gambling? At this time, a familiar figure came into view, it was Zhenwu Hou Liu Ziguang, needless to say, these are the handwriting of Nanchang, Xu Jiujing hurriedly saluted Hou Ye, Liu Ziguang comforted him with kind words, and took out a material that was diametrically opposed to the report of the investigation team, and asked Xu Jiujing to choose an appropriate time to present it to the emperor tomorrow, Xu Jiujing read the material, the sentences were detailed, the words and blood and tears condensed the grievances of the people of Huguang and the sweat of the investigators of the South Factory, since his son was fine, Xu Jiujing had nothing to take care of, he regained the spirit of his youth, and held the determination to be an official and not for the people, it was better to go home and sell sweet potatoes, and decided to follow the Zhenwu Marquis and the corrupt officials to go to war。

Xu Jiujing's counterattack made the defense line of everyone in the investigation team completely collapse, knelt down on the Fengtian Temple one by one, and admitted the fact of accepting Ma Yun's bribes, but they insisted that the investigation results were true and effective, and it was really because they saw that Ma Yun was indeed a good person, and reluctantly accepted his carriage fee.

Zhu Youxiao was furious, ordered the dismissal of these people's official positions, set up an investigation team to go to Huguang again to thoroughly investigate the matter, and issued a holy decree to arrest Ma Yun for bribery, first put him in prison, and then deal with his embezzlement of funds for the river embankment project in a separate case. For the crime of dereliction of duty, Gao Yifei's black yarn was removed, and he was not imprisoned for the time being, and he will wait for the second investigation team to arrive.

At this point, Liu Ziguang won a complete victory, but before he was happy, another imperial historian who was not afraid of death jumped out to join him, saying that the Marquis of Zhenwu was suspected of accepting bribes from builders and instructing gangsters to dig graves.

Liu Ziguang sneered: "It's Gao Yifei's instruction to you, seeing that the situation is not good, you will attack the east and the west and falsely accuse Ben Hou, you also underestimate Your Majesty's sage, such tricks will only increase your laughter." ”

Indeed, now at this juncture, it is simply stupid to stand on Gao Yifei's side to help him attack Liu Ziguang, and the big guys Qian Qianyi and Qi Zhenming are all silent, you are a little imperial history jumped out and shook what kind of cleverness Zhu Youxiao did not disappoint Liu Ziguang, and he didn't even ask without asking, and directly ordered the Han general to enter the palace and drag this blind-eyed imperial history out of the court staff.

The new investigation team is still composed of members from the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, Metropolitan Procuratorate, Ministry of Industry, and Household Department, but the tone of this investigation is determined in advance, that is, Ma Yun - guilty!

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the adults continued to walk out of the Fengtian Palace, and the three and three of them talked about Liu Zi walking alone with their bare toes, and those civil officials dodged when they saw him, as if he was a plague god.

Liu Ziguang didn't care what the civil officials thought of him, and it was not bad to maintain such awe, at least whoever wanted to yin in the future would think about the consequences before he could.

As he was walking, he suddenly heard someone behind him calling: "Master Hou go slowly." Looking back, it turned out to be Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party who hadn't spoken for a long time.
