Chapter 160: The Emperor Begins to Clean Up the Problematic Officials

Lin Tianyang and the others came to the backyard and soon found some gold, silver and silver tickets in Wang Mingqi's room, the number was not very large, only a few thousand taels.

"It shouldn't be so little." Zhou Hongtao frowned and said, and then said: "There must be a secret room, look for it carefully." ”

"Here." Niu Zhutou suddenly pointed to a vase in the room and said, then looked at everyone and said, "Su Yan, you go and turn that vase, everyone else should be careful." ”

Everyone nodded, and Su Yan walked up to the vase, tried it, and then slowly turned the vase.

"Quack, quack... After a soft sound, a wall next to it slowly dodged a passage, and a secret room appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and then a strong man rushed out of it, this person was holding a long sword in his hand, and he blocked the door of the secret room.

"Put down your arms and take them together, otherwise, there will be no mercy!" Zhou Hongtao said loudly.

"Then you can kill me." The strong man said loudly.

"Jiang Fei? Is it you? Niu Zhutou looked at the strong man and said in surprise.

When the strong man heard this, he looked at Niu Zhutou, and then said, "You are here too, it seems that I can't protect my son today." ”

"I don't need your protection." At this time, a voice came from behind the strong man Jiang Fei, and then a scholar walked out from behind Jiang Fei.

"I wrote those poems, and I knew that there would be such a day, Jiang Fei, you have been protecting me for five years, and the original kindness has been repaid, this matter has nothing to do with you, you can go." The scholar said.

"I won't leave, I must protect Childe's safety unless I die." Jiang Fei said.

"It's a simple, one-size-fits-all affair." Niu Catcher said.

At this time, Commander Chen walked in and said, "The emperor has a decree to live." After finishing speaking, he looked at the scholar and said, "If you don't want to die, come with us." ”

"I'll go with you." The scholar said.

"I'm with you." Jiang Fei said.

"Are you worthy? Get out of the way. The scholar said angrily, and then walked towards Commander Chen.

"Take this person to your criminal department." Commander Chen said, and then said loudly: "Come on, move all the things in the secret room." ”

Hearing Commander Chen's words, Jiang Fei looked at a few headhunters, and then threw away the long sword.

A group of forbidden soldiers ran in and soon went out with a few large boxes.

"Okay you, don't look gloomy, it's your honor to be caught by me." Niu Zhutou said with a smile, and then picked up Jiang Fei's long sword.

"Let's go, we won't tie you up anymore, after all, you are also a man." Zhou Hongtao said.

"Thanks!" Jiang Fei said, and then walked outside.

After seeing the scholar and these boxes, Wang Mingqi's face turned pale, and he knew that his affairs had been exposed, so he collapsed on the ground.

Several chests were opened, and they were filled with gold, silver, and jewelry, and a small box, which was full of silver tickets.

"Wang Mingqi, what else do you have to say?" Commander Chen asked angrily, and then said loudly: "Bring Wang Mingqi and these boxes into the palace, and send the others to the Criminal Department, which will strictly investigate them." ”

At this time, one of Wang Mingqi's subordinates walked out, saluted to Commander Chen, and said, "My lord, can I return to the team?" ”

Commander Chen nodded and said, "Okay, you can return to the team." ”

Then he said to the scholar: "Let's go, the emperor wants to meet you, a great talent who writes anti-poems, in person." ”

"See him, I'm not afraid of him, I'm not afraid of death, what else are you afraid of?" The scholar said loudly.

"Then you haven't seen that you can't survive and die." Commander Chen said with a smile, then waved his hand and said, "Take them all." Then he personally accompanied the scholar out.

Lin Tianyang and the others took their own people and a team of forbidden soldiers to press others to the Criminal Department, some of these people relied on Wang Mingqi to commit things, but there are also innocent people who have not broken the law, they are all very afraid, they all know that the life after going to the prison of the Criminal Department is not a human life, it is really impossible to survive and die.

After returning to the Criminal Department, Lord Yang had already been called into the palace by the emperor, so Wang Mingqi's family and servants were first separated into the prison of the Criminal Department, waiting for the next order.

It wasn't until noon that Lord Yang came back and immediately gathered Lin Tianyang and several people together.

Lord Yang looked at everyone and said: "Actually, there is nothing to do, that is, the scholar named Bai Wenzhao wrote a few anti-poems, the emperor was very angry, so he wanted to arrest him, but he hid in Wang Mingqi's house, and the emperor took Wang Mingqi with his hands, and found tens of millions of silver in Wang Mingqi's house, and the emperor has issued a decree to behead the prison marquis." ”

"We are now going to interrogate Wang Mingqi's family and subordinates, and see who has violated the law with them, and they must be dealt with according to the law, and those who have not violated the law can be released."

Hearing Lord Yang's words, everyone understood that this Wang Mingqi was also a little bit back, and took in a scholar who wrote anti-poems, and as a result, he put himself in.

"My lord, what happened to that scholar? His guard is still in prison, what to do? Zhou Hongtao asked.

"The scholar emperor didn't kill him, but left him by his side and discussed those anti-poetry things with him, as for the scholar's guard, let it go, he was only responsible for protecting the scholar, and he didn't write anti-poetry." Lord Yang said.

"Yes!" And they all answered together.

Lin Tianyang is the first time to come to the prison of the Criminal Department, he has been here for half a year, and he has not been here once, even when he was on the night shift, he went out to patrol, and he has never been here to be on duty, so he is still a little ashamed.

There are not many people in the prison of the Criminal Department, only a few dozen people, and after seeing these heads, some people are frantically crying out for grievances, while others are still sitting in their cells, turning a blind eye to these people.

Looking at these people, Lin Tianyang suddenly thought of a word: life is full of variety.

The interrogation process was very simple, Wang Mingqi's family was implicated, because of Wang Mingqi, each of them had some things, and they were quickly interrogated; And most of those subordinates were wronged, and those who committed crimes or did evil with Wang Mingqi were also interrogated.

"They all recorded their affairs, and let them draw them." Su Yan said.

"Ask them again, let them report to each other, and if they report, they can reduce their own responsibility." Zhou Hongtao said.

Everyone nodded and interrogated again, and it turned out that two more people who relied on Wang Mingqi to do evil were found.

I heard that the emperor did not deal with Bai Wenzhao immediately, and Jiang Fei didn't know what the emperor would do with Bai Wenzhao, so after being released from the Criminal Department, he found an inn nearby to stay, waiting for Bai Wenzhao's news.

Xiang Wang Mingqi's kind of thing doesn't happen often, because it involves someone who wants to rebel, so he directly bypassed the criminal department and let the forbidden army go directly out.

"It's too simple, and it's solved in a day." Lin Tianyang said with a smile.

"This is conclusive evidence, the emperor spoke directly, otherwise it wouldn't have been so fast." Zhou Hongtao said.

"Yes, after all, this matter involves anti-poetry, which is very serious." Niu Catcher said.

"Okay, it's okay, let's go separately, if it's okay, let's go patrol the streets." Zhou Hongtao said with a smile.

They all nodded, and then they went back to beckon their men to patrol the streets; In fact, everyone likes to patrol the streets, otherwise there may be something in the yamen, trouble, or go out to patrol the streets.

"Boss, is that the head of the ministry finished?" Zhou Guang asked.

"The beheading of the prison marquis has been decided, and the emperor's personal will should not be changed." Lin Tianyang replied.

"I can't imagine that he can make so much money one by one, aren't we a little cowardly?" Pang Ren asked with a smile.

"Wait until you get to know what the master is saying." Zhang Kuan said with a smile.

"Forget it, I'm just a catcher, and I can't do the main thing." Pang Ren said with a smile.

"Then you can't make that much money." Lin Tianyang said with a smile, and then continued: "Okay, there are too many people, don't mention it again." ”

When everyone heard this, they quickly shut up and started patrolling.

When everyone walked out of the two streets, Lin Tianyang saw a beautiful woman standing on the side of the street looking at him and laughing, it was Liu Taohong, who had not been seen for many days.

"You guys keep patrolling." Lin Tianyang said, and then walked over to Liu Taohong.

"Lin Zhutou, can I say a few words to you?" Liu Taohong asked with a smile.

"Okay, let's go to the teahouse next door." Lin Tianyang said with a smile.

"No, let's just walk around the street." Liu Taohong said with a smile.

"It's fine." Lin Tianyang said with a smile.

The two of them walked forward slowly.

"What are you looking for from me?" Lin Tianyang asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you." Liu Taohong said with a smile.

When Lin Tianyang heard this, he hurriedly said: "Don't, if you have something to say, don't scare me." ”

Seeing Lin Tianyang's appearance, Liu Taohong smiled and said, "Hehehehe... Are you really scared? ”

"A little." Lin Tianyang said.

Liu Taohong smiled, then restrained her smile and said: "No kidding, to be honest, now that the emperor has begun to clean up some problematic officials, my proprietor is also afraid that we will attract the attention of others because of our affairs, so he let us go back, I came to bid you farewell this time." ”

Hearing this, Lin Tianyang was stunned for a moment, and then understood that the mastermind behind her was to protect herself, which was also a good thing for Liu Taohong.

"It's a good thing, you can finally get out of this place, it's not a place to stay for long." Lin Tianyang said with a smile.

"Why don't you leave, if you know it's not a place to stay for long? I can accompany you if you wish. Liu Taohong said.

"Huh?" Hearing this, Lin Tianyang showed a look of horror, and he stumbled and almost fell.
