Qi Zhenming was very angry, not because of the death of a doorman, nor because the signboard of the Criminal Department was smashed, this was a trivial matter, what made him angry was that Liu Ziguang openly challenged the unspoken rules of officialdom that everyone tacitly acquiesced to.

There are many judicial organs in the Ming Dynasty, but the largest is the Criminal Department and Jinyiwei, the three classes of soap officials in all prefectures and counties of the country are under the leadership of the criminal department, and the Jinyiwei is a large number of people throughout the country, both secret agents and armed forces, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate have only civilian officials, no armed personnel, Nanchang Dongchang, under the suppression of the Donglin Party, the personnel of the institution are restricted, far less powerful than Qi Zhenming.

Moreover, Qi Zhenming is still an important person in the Donglin Party, with a wide range of connections, even compared with Qian Qianyi, he is not much worse, he thinks that he is the mainstay of the current imperial court, representing the vast number of vested interests, although the exposure rate is not as high as Liu Ziguang, but it does not mean that he is inferior to the other party.

The civil prosecution of the official is a big taboo, and the official guard is a tradition, and the lake is widely frequent** Qi Zhenming didn't know that all kinds of internal materials had already been put on his desk, he didn't want to do it, he really couldn't do it, this matter involved the whole body, as long as he started it, then he couldn't contain it, the river embankment project was a political performance project, it couldn't make money, but Ma Yun had invested a lot of money to win this target, he would definitely see profits, Ma Yun himself didn't have anything to fear, what was not to be feared was the force behind him, the huge and complicated relationship network that involved the yamen and officials, countless people were involved, although these people were not extremely powerful, but they were all powerful factions with authority, and their power was extremely hugeThe gift money received tens of thousands of taels, eating people's soft mouths, and taking people's hands short, anyway, it was the life and death of a few small people, and it couldn't make much waves, so Qi Zhenming took care of the following, and all the people who met Hu Guanglai to petition would not accept the case, not only the criminal department would not accept Hu Guanglai's case, but also the major yamen in the capital would not accept it, this is a tacit understanding and an unspoken rule.

Unexpectedly, his subordinates would not be able to do things, and they actually forced the petitioners to death, and provoked several Hedong lions of Liu Ziguang's family, and finally got into trouble, killing and injuring more than 20 people, and the sign of the criminal department also made people smash this face, but it was a big shame, Qi Zhenming heard that after hearing about it, he went directly to the Zhenwu Marquis Mansion to ask the master to ask the guilt, this Liu Ziguang is really unambiguous, and the absolute calf protector first asked his family members if they went out to make trouble, and they didn't know that their family was injured, and after not knowing that their family was not harmed, the criminal department was killed and injured, and then they didn't even have a good sentence, and they didn't even serve tea and send guests directly to let themselves fall in love, and where to fight the lawsuit.

Okay, you're Liu Ziguang kicking your nose and face, aren't you? Lao Tzu came to inform you, it is to give you face, if you don't give me an explanation for this matter, then I will give you an explanation tomorrow, who is afraid of a lawsuit in Fengtian Palace, who is afraid of whom, the relationship between the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is good, today I will first get angry, and tomorrow I will jointly write a book to see how you explain in front of the Long Live Lord, the current Long Live Lord is not the hairy boy before, under the guidance of several emperors invited by the Donglin Party to help him, he has already enlightened himself, understands the way of the emperor, the art of checks and balances, and will give Qi Zhenming a face no matter what.

The next morning, Qi Zhenming, the secretary of the criminal department, went to the town of Wuhou, Liu Ziguang, the emperor was not strict, indulged in his wife, killed people, trampled on the criminal department, and asked the long-lived lord to give him a fair imperial history, and they had been informed by Qi Zhenming, and the previous night had been drafted, at this time, one after another stood up and denounced the arrogance of the Zhenwu Marquis, as Liu Ziguang was still in the middle of the holiday, and there was only one Song Yingxing in his team, Song Yingxing was still a good man who was not good at words, and Liu Ziguang explained that he should not easily participate in any party struggle, and it was good to protect himself, although this matter sounded very bad in nature, but the consequences were not serious, so Song Yingxing held the wat board and did not make a sound at all。

Zhu Youxiao had been blown by the queen last night, and he was very clear about the ins and outs of this matter, but he couldn't say at this time, I knew it, and I could only judge the case impartially, so he asked Wei Zhongxian to pass on Liu Ziguang to the palace to confront him. The will was quickly conveyed, and after a while, Liu Ziguang came to the palace wearing a python robe and jade belt, and it seemed that he had been prepared early, and Hou was outside the noon gate.

Without waiting for Zhu Youxiao to ask, Liu Ziguang lifted his robe and knelt down and played: "The minister has the book to play." ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "What does Aiqing have to play?" ”

"Minister, there are 54 petitions here, involving 336 lives, 374 people disabled, and 18,982 acres of fertile land, all of which are accusing Ma Yun, the contractor of the river embankment, Ma Yun to bully people and occupy the fertile land along the river in the name of building the embankment, and the river embankment built by stealing and embezzling public funds is a tofu slag project, and there are no less than 100 migrant workers who collapsed and died because of the use of rotten wood, and the emperor was benevolent and dedicated, and the construction of the river embankment was originally a thousand years of merit, benefiting one party, but it was used by these profiteers to fill their pockets, not to mention, and forced the good people to die, and seized the land, which is really the common indignation of people and gods, and the crime is unforgivable！ ”

Originally, I thought that Liu Ziguang would be rude and unreasonable when he went to the palace, but people actually defended and attacked, and I didn't know where to find so many forms, which attracted the emperor's attention at once.

"What a bold Ma Yun, just a small businessman, who gave him the power to oppress the good people and take it by force!" Zhu Youxiao said angrily.

"Long live, there is something strange about this matter, why are these cases concentrated in the hands of Zhenwu Hou, is there no magistrate in Huguang? Soon after the Marquis of Zhenwu returned from Nanyang, the affairs along the river were not under the control of the Nanchang Yamen...", a royal historian said, and other imperial historians also echoed it.

"Hmph, if the people can sue through normal channels, how can the complaint come into the hands of Benhou, then what Ma Yun is relying on is not a corrupt official, as the saying goes, the yamen is open to the south, there is no reason to have no money, Mo Jin, from the ancient officialdom, so it is not a last resort, the people are unwilling to alarm the government, but Ma Yun actually forced the good people to the extent of a thousand miles of complaints, not to mention the incident at the entrance of the criminal department yesterday, a small doorman actually used a nail board to force the people who sued to death, who can tell me what the truth is! What power does he have to deprive a person of his life? Why is it so difficult for ordinary people to sue? The wife who has been with each other for many years and the grandson who has not yet been born died in the sea of fire, begging all the way to the capital, full of thought that he could be wronged, but he didn't think that he would die at the foot of the Son of Heaven, at the gate of the Criminal Department of the highest judicial organ in the country! Is this still the world of the Ming Dynasty? Is this still the year of the apocalypse in a harmonious and prosperous era? ”

Liu Ziguang's righteous and stern accusation shocked the harsh facts of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military people's difficulty in filing complaints, and the illegal incidents that were taking place in the Huguang area, deeply considering everyone's conscience, even the mad dog-like imperial historians stopped barking wildly, and they didn't know what to write with a straight face, and they didn't know what to write, and then they had the face to mention that the criminal department's brand was smashed, and the criminal department's doormen who were eaten by dogs died 10,000 times according to their conscience.

"Okay, you're a Zhenwu Marquis, you're smart, you're going to beat you up, and if you don't get it right, you'll be burned." Qi Zhenming thought about it and said: "Your Majesty, it is the practice of the criminal department to sue the official, and it is the practice of the criminal department to deal with Diao Min, so as for the matter of forcing the people to death, Wei Chen will investigate in detail, but Wei Chen also wants to ask Zhen Wuhou a sentence, no matter how unbearable this criminal department is, it is also one of the six departments of the imperial court, how can it be his family's internal family to discipline him." ”

"Enough, Yi Zhen sees that the Criminal Department is about to become the palace of the King of Hades, and it is no longer reasonable to have no money to come in, but to take your life to enter the Criminal Department, how did you become the secretary of the Criminal Department, I don't want to ask how the Sixth Section and the Metropolitan Procuratorate supervise, and I don't want to ask what I want to know is how this good river embankment project became like this! Can anyone explain it to me! Who can! ”

Zhu Youxiao roared as he spoke, and the green tendons on his neck could be seen, as a young emperor who had officially ascended the throne for more than a year, it was his ideal to make a great cause, the Northern Expedition to the West was a martial art, and the river embankment was regarded as a cultural rule, for this river embankment project, Zhu Youxiao did not spend much effort to listen to the opinions of all parties, and carefully selected the officials in charge, he thought that Lin Ruhai, a Qing official, could manage this mess well, but he didn't think that there would be such a big mess, Liu Ziguang took out fifty-four sheets, which may be just the tip of the iceberg, and the people who don't have the courage to sue don't know how many there are, this is simply demolishing his Zhu Youxiao's platform, this matter must be strictly investigated and thoroughly investigated！

The officials were silent, they didn't speak for a while, Qian Qianyi stood in the class and didn't say anything, this matter Qi Zhenming didn't greet him, which made him a little unhappy, the Donglin Party turned out to be a hidden and strict opposition party, but after seizing power, it became looser and looser, Qi Zhenming's power was too great, and there was already a faint tendency to stand on his own, so Qian Qianyi decided to suppress him appropriately.

"Your Majesty, this matter must be investigated, and the ministers suggest that a Qin mission investigation team be sent to Huguang to return justice to the people, return the court to the court, and make a decision, and those villains cannot be allowed to ruin this thousand-year-old project." Qian Qianyi's words were immediately agreed by Zhu Youxiao: "What Qian Ge Lao said is very much based on who you think is appropriate to send this Qin?" ”

Qian Qianyi thought for a while and said: "Weichen recommends Dali Temple Zhengqing Xu Jiujing Master Xu is capable and honest, and has rich experience and is worthy of this great responsibility." ”

This candidate is very suitable, Xu Jiujing went all the way from a county official to Dali Temple, and Zhengqing is best at investigating cases, and he does not belong to any camp, and has no intersection with Huguang officials, and should be able to be fair and honest.

Since it is the person recommended by Qian Ge, of course everyone did not agree on it, Liu Ziguang is also very happy for Xu Jiujing to serve as this Qin Mission, just now he was afraid that the emperor would impulsively send him to investigate the case, Zeng Cheng was about to give birth to this juncture, so he was unwilling to go on a business trip. ”

Zhu Youxiao immediately issued an edict ordering Xu Jiujing, the Zhengqing of Dali Temple, to go to Huguang to investigate the cases complained of by Liu Ziguang, and to find out in the shortest possible time and return justice to the people.
