Inside this green building, there is already a mess.

The movements of the Model Battalion and the Inner Thousand Households were too fast.

It was faster than anyone expected.

There were even people in the room, naked, and they were caught.

Direct social death.

As for those women, there are even quite a few prostitutes, all of them have been screened out and imprisoned.

Not long after, Zhang Anshi appeared. He came late, after all, he had a lot of armor on his body.

Zhao Qianhu hurriedly came to greet him, and whispered a few words to Zhang Anshi, and Zhang Anshi breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Zhang Anshi stepped in.

Immediately afterwards, the voice of complaining was heard.

"What are you doing here? What has happened to us, and it is unreasonable! ”

Zhang Anshi looked at the angry person, he actually knew, his body was shocked, and he stepped forward and saluted: "It's Liu Gong, ah, your old man, you also have this Yaxing." ”

This so-called Liu Gong is Liu Bian, the right attendant of the Criminal Department.

Liu Wei's face was flushed, and he said with a tense face: "Annanhou, what does this mean?" ”

Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that your old man, who is seventy or eighty, would still have this Yaxing." ”

Liu Wei's face was blank, and he said solemnly: "The old man doesn't know what you're talking about. ”

Zhang Anshi said: "This dynasty has its own law, prohibiting officials from using official prostitutes, prohibiting prostitutes, and those who have official prostitutes will never be hired." ”

Liu argued: "Who said that the old man was a prostitute? ”

Zhang Anshi pointed to the many warblers and Yanyan who were imprisoned and said, "You still dare to deny it? ”

Liu argued: "Which eye did you have to see the old man give the silver?" ”

Zhang Anshi was suddenly angry, and said angrily: "I didn't give the silver...... It is to force the good to become a prostitute, and it is even more of a crime. ”

Liu Wei was even more angry: "I cherish the girls here, they admire the talent of the old man, why not?" Annan Hou, you are trying to add to the crime, there is no excuse. ”

Zhang Anshi said angrily: "Ha, admire your talent? You've got a talent for a bird! ”

Liu Wei said calmly: "You can call them here, and you will find out as soon as you ask." ”

Zhang Anshi glared at him and said, "You think I don't know what you're doing." ”

Liu Wei snorted coldly: "You have less blood and spew, Daming is not a place without royal law, the old man is here to enjoy the joy of silk and bamboo with people, you are here, you are here, you are not here, you are not here, you are here, you are not here, you are not here, you are Besides, if you keep saying that this is a prostitute, the old man comes to ask you, since you are a prostitute, you must report to Ying Tianfu, and the woman among them is a prostitute. Annanhou, you might as well ask, is this a house of prostitutes? How could the woman here ever be a prostitute? ”

He spoke eloquently.

Zhang Anshi realized that he couldn't argue with these people, and he would never be able to argue.

Zhang Anshi held his breath, and then said: "Whoever told you this, I only came to tell you that the smuggling matter has already happened in the east window, if you are just a prostitute, it will be easy to do, but you should know what crime you have committed." ”

At this moment, Liu Yan's faces instantly turned cold.

In fact, around the matter of prostitutes, Liu Wei deliberately argued that he wanted to cover up something.

After all, even if he is a prostitute and violates the law of the country, it is nothing, but now......

Liu Bian said with a gloomy face: "Annanhou, everything...... It is necessary to talk about human and material evidence. ”

Zhang Anshi said awe-inspiringly: "Since I found you, of course there is evidence, otherwise, do you think I, Zhang Anshi, am full of food and support?" ”

Among the dozen or so people, someone immediately shouted: "Call the people from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple." ”

Another humane: "We will never be wronged in vain." ”

Zhang Anshili ignored them, but glanced back at Zhao Qianhu: "Everyone will be taken down, and I will be judged one by one, using some means." ”

Zhao Qianhu bowed: "Huh." ”

Zhang Anshi said again: "This green building, seal it for me...... No one is allowed to enter or leave the ......"

"And ...... There is a person named Pu Chengzhi, who is also mixed in with this, and I will find out immediately. ”

Hearing Pu Chengzhi's three words, Liu Wei and others were shocked.

But after all, they are people who have seen the wind and waves, and there is only a trace of doubt in the corner of their eyes, but they quickly return to calm.

Still righteous and awe-inspiring: "What are you going to do, is there any royal law in the Ming Dynasty?" ”

A young man mixed in with these people was now bowing his head, looking like a chicken in soup.

Zhao Qianhu immediately began to screen, this place has been surrounded by water, the outside is the model camp, and the inside is the captain of the inner Qianhu.

Zhang Anshi summoned the women and men here to the other side, and after he sat down steadily, he looked at the crowd: "Who is the master here?" ”

Everyone was silent, and the old bustard smiled and said, "Eh...... Where are the masters, all the people who come here are ......."

Zhang Anshi's eyes turned to the side.

In general, in this case, everyone understood Zhang Anshi's meaning.

The Marquis of Annan is kind-hearted and can't see blood.

So, a captain of the Inner Thousand Households Institute walked forward first, and directly stabbed into the heart of this old bustard.

The old bustard exclaimed, and his face, which was full of pink, became even paler, and there was no blood, and his face became distorted, and the man withered, and immediately fell in a pool of blood, and died.

When the women and men saw this, they were even more frightened, and some even screamed in fright.

Zhang Anshi stood up and said: "You can say boldly and reassuringly, don't be afraid, this is a big case, let's tell you the truth, such a big case, it is impossible not to kill hundreds or thousands of people." Most of you have been forced to come here as well, and I hope that you will not end up being part of these people. One last time, I asked, who is the owner of this room? Who do you serve on a day-to-day basis? ”

As soon as his words fell, a man pouted his ass and fell to the ground, trembling and said, "It's Zeng Gongzi, Zeng Gongzi ......"

"Zeng Gongzi?" Zhang Anshi raised his eyebrows, with suspicion in his eyes, and then said coldly: "Bring it to me." ”

A moment later, a man who looked like a boy was dragged in, and he shouted, what are you going to do here?

Zhang Anshi stared at him deadly: "Are you Pu Chengzhi?" ”

The boy said: "My surname is Zeng, if you don't believe it, I have a household register...... I ......"

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "For people like you." Isn't this household register a piece of papyrus? Ming people don't say dark words, since I found you, naturally there is a reason for me. But now, you still want to deny it, it seems that you look down on the inner thousand households, because you think that my inner thousand households are not fierce enough, right? ”

Brother Gongzi hurriedly said: "My real surname is Zeng, how dare I hide it......"

Zhang Anshi sat upright and looked at this boy coldly.

After half a ring, Zhang Anshi said: "If I were you, I would definitely tell you honestly, instead of being here and denying it to death." ”

The boy shook his head and said, "I'...... I ......"

He looked sincerely frightened: "If the real surname is Zeng, he is from Jingzhou......"

Zhang Anshi stood up: "If you fuck you, you dare to do things that you don't dare to be, since this is the case, then it's no wonder I'm not welcome." ”

After saying that, Zhang Anshi walked out of here quickly, and instructed lightly: "I want a confession, no matter what method I use." ”

"Whoa."

Zhang Anshi immediately paced out.

The Inner Thousand Households Office specially seconded some people from prison, and what they used to deal with was the kind of hard-mouthed stubborn coward.

Not long after, a terrible scream came from a small building.

The screams were terrifying.

Zhang Anshi immediately asked Liu Wei and others to be escorted to a lobby, he looked at Liu Wei and the others, and said coldly: "You really don't know whether you live or die." ”

Liu Bian's face was miserable, especially when he heard the screams of 'Zeng Gongzi', he seemed to be unable to give up. took a step forward and said, "Master Hou, why do you have to work hard......

Zhang Anshi looked at him with a smile: "Did I force you?" All of you, all of you, are officials of the imperial court, but you are all gathered here, and now you are here to tell me, I am persecuting you? ”

Liu Wei lowered his head and sighed: "Actually...... Some things are negotiable. ”

"What are you discussing?" Zhang Anshi looked at Liu Wei with a smile.

Liu Wei hesitated for a moment, then said, "Can you take a step to speak?" ”

Zhang Anshi paced to the side of the ear room, Liu Wei cautiously stepped forward, and said in a low voice: "Actually...... If you are open-minded, you don't care about it...... The old man didn't dare to guarantee anything else, but he could protect you, and you would have at least 200,000 taels of silver every year. ”

Ice and charcoal are ancient customs, almost everywhere the state and county officials, and even some big businessmen, every New Year's holiday, will give gifts to the house.

It's a hot day, so send some ice to cool off. It's cold, send some charcoal to cool off.

Even when Emperor Taizu Gao, such things were repeatedly banned.

Not to mention now.

Zhang Anshi put his hands behind his back and smiled: "Two hundred thousand taels, who do you look down on?" ”

"This ......" Liu Wei was short for a while, paused, and then said: "As long as the Hou Ye agrees, this is just a careful thought, even if the tattoo is a million silver, the lower official can also say the item on his behalf." Convenience with others is your own convenience, I also know that Hou Ye has silver, but ...... How much of the money earned by Hou Ye's trading house can go into Hou Ye's own home? This is different, this matter does not cost you the trouble of Hou Ye, every day you sit upright at home, and you will have someone to respect you......"

Zhang Anshi put his hands behind his back and couldn't help but say: "A million taels, what a big stroke." ”

Liu argued and smiled: "Master Hou, who are you, how dare you lose your benefits, you see ......"

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "Then how much silver do you take from their hands?" ”

Liu Wei looked at Zhang Anshi and remained cautious for a while.

Zhang Anshi said: "If you buy me Zhang Anshi, you can give out millions of silver every year, and you are doing a good deal!" ”

Liu Wei immediately said: "What does Master Hou mean by this?" ”

Zhang Anshi smiled: "It seems that you ...... Profiting a lot from it can be regarded as the crime of colluding against the party. ”

Liu Wen's color changed, and then he said: "I don't know what Master Hou said. Master Hou, you can't frame yourself like this! Hmph, if the Hou Ye insults us like this today, why will someone ask for justice. ”

Zhang Anshi didn't look at him: "If you don't see a coffin, you won't shed tears." Come...... Take them all and pack them all up. ”

Liu Wei immediately shouted: "I am an official of the imperial court, do you dare to use the punishment?" If you can't be courteous, you can't punish a doctor. ”

Zhang Anshi smiled disapprerovingly, and then said: "Call me one by one until they are willing to confess." ”

…………

The news was reported from Ying Tianfu.

All of a sudden, the capital was in an uproar.

For ordinary people, this is more of a talking point.

But for Liubu Jiuqing, the matter is very serious.

First, the Hanlin Academy took people, and then many ministers were arrested, without warning in advance.

Let's not talk about whether those people are guilty or not, but even if they are guilty, such an insult will inevitably make people feel excessive.

If the court officials can say that they will fight, and if they say they will kill, then what does it mean for everyone to study hard for ten years and seek this fame?

So the six departments and nine Qings went to Wenyuan Pavilion one after another.

In Wenyuan Pavilion, after Xie Jin heard the news, he already knew in his heart that this time, the Inner Thousand Households had really gone too far.

Mo said that it was him, and even Hu Guang began to complain: "What's going on? The minister committed a crime, it should also be an order to ask, it is a matter of Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, how can it be the turn of Nanzhen Fusi to take people in such an unclear way? ”

Xie Jin frowned and said: "This matter should be reported to Your Majesty immediately, and Your Majesty should be asked to decide." ”

So, Xie Jin led hundreds of officials and asked Zhu Di to meet him.

Zhu Di actually learned the news earlier than they did.

"Qinglou?" Zhu Di looked at Yi Lost Hadao.

Yisha is a little sensitive to the word Qinglou, but he still bows down; "Your Majesty, it's a green building, but that green building is not archived in Yingtianfu, so it can't be regarded as a green building......

Zhu Di said: "I haven't seen what the Qinglou is like!" After a pause, he said, "How many ministers have you taken?" ”

"Twelve, from all the ministries." Yisha said in a low voice: "The highest is a squire, but ...... The slave maid thought ...... It was caught red-handed, probably by some people...... I just didn't go. ”

Zhu Di stroked the case with his hand, his expression was unknown, and he said, "They are happy." In this way, Zhang Anshi's investigation of the smuggling case has already been established? ”

Yishu said: "On the other side of the inner thousand households, all the news has been banned, and the slaves and maids don't know if it is smuggling." However, the inner thousand households also sent someone to say that it was ...... Caught a big fish. ”

"Big fish?" Zhu Di's eyes widened slightly, and he said, "How can Zhang Anshi be so fast?" This doesn't make sense. Until now, it has only been seven or eight days. ”

Yishu said: "Yes, the slave maid also thinks it is strange, so it feels incredible." Your Majesty, the problem now is that hundreds of officials are complaining, and they all say that thousands of households are ...... Overdone. ”

Zhu Di showed a meaningful look: "These people ...... Have you come to see me? ”

Yishu said: "I have asked Your Majesty to summon me." ”

Zhu Di's face was calm, and he only said, "Call in." ”

After a while, the hundreds of officials in Beijing came to a small half, led by Xie Jin, and fell to the ground one after another.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks...... The country has its own laws and disciplines, and the thousands of households are so random to take people, it is really terrifying, now the capital is all the ya, everyone is in danger, if the minister is at fault, the Metropolitan Procuratorate pointed out that he is indeed wrong, and the officials verify his bad deeds and evil deeds, and Dali Temple is responsible for trial and verification. ”

"But now, now Nanzhen Fusi ......"

The first to speak was Hu Guang.

This time, Hu Guang went out, and other things could be endured, this kind of thing, in his opinion, was almost equivalent to the level of persecution of hundreds of officials.

Zhu Di interrupted him and said, "What did Hu Qing say?" ”

"It is the case of Liu Defender and others, prostitutes."

Zhu Di glanced at Hu Guang deeply before saying, "But what I heard is ...... What Zhang Anshi investigated was a Qin case. ”

The Qin case is the responsibility of Jinyiwei, and the other cases are handed over to Yousi.

Hu Guangdao: "The crux of the issue now is that whether or not the Qin case is based on Zhang Anshi's words. If anything is set as a Qin case, won't this be a big mess in the world? What does it mean to be ......... It is not impossible to determine the Qin case, but it is just ...... But evidence needs to be presented. ”

Zhu Di sighed: "Hu Qing is an honest and honest person. ”

His Majesty's sudden words made Hu Guang confused.

Zhu Di immediately said: "Does the Xie Qing family also think so?" ”

Xie Jin hurriedly said: "There are no rules, there is no circle, and the minister seconded it." ”

Zhu Di smiled coldly, which seemed to confirm his judgment of Hu Guang.

Zhu Di immediately glanced at the ministers and said, "Zhu Qing also thinks so?" ”

The ministers said yes one after another.

Zhu Di stood up and said: "You are right, there are no rules, there is no square circle, Zhang Anshi is a relative of the emperor, and he is also a marquis, and he is deeply trusted by me." If he does something wrong, the ministers will accuse him, and I will never protect him. ”

After a pause, he said, "But ......"

But when the two words came out, Zhu Di's face suddenly turned cold: "But what if among the secretaries, some people form a party for personal gain, and some people collude with traitors to make personal gains?" Should I also be dealt with strictly? You have to be fair, this is very good, I am afraid of you, you are all flies and dogs, one by one, with evil intentions. But since you are all so upright, it is a relief to me, so good, then... From now on, everything must be handled impartially, and I will not spare anyone who knows the law and violates the law. ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were a little uneasy, and the ministers looked at each other with complicated faces.

Zhu Di said: "Spread the decree and summon Zhang Anshi, I want to listen to his defense." ”

His words were cold and piercing, as if they were directed at Zhang Anshi, but they seemed to be ...... It's for other people.

Zhu Di is like a clay sculpture, and after sitting down, he does not move at all.

So the eunuchs hurried out to read the will.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Zhang Anshi was late.

This An Shi came prepared, seemed calm and relaxed, saw Zhu Di, and saluted first.

"Your Majesty, the minister is handling the case by order, I don't know what His Majesty summoned the minister, what is the matter?"

Zhu Di's face softened slightly: "What kind of case is Zhang Qing handling?" ”

"It's a Chin case involving smuggling." Zhang Anshi said truthfully.

"But I heard that...... This is not the case. Zhu Di said lightly.

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, this case is very important, and the ministers ...... I couldn't explain it for a while. ”

Xie Jin said at this time: "In this way, Annanhou did not have real evidence, so he arbitrarily asserted that this is a Qin case? ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Of course there is evidence. ”

Baiguan looked at Zhang Anshi with cold eyes.

In fact, they don't believe these words.

Zhang Anshi is not an immortal.

How many days have you been working hard before you have proof? If it is so easy to check, how can it be concealed to this day?

Zhu Di was interested, and looked at Zhang Anshi with blazing eyes: "Evidence? What evidence? ”

"The minister caught one of the masterminds." Zhang Anshi straightened his waist and swore authentically.

The hundred officials showed disdainful expressions one after another.

Zhu Di said: "Yes, bring it to me to see." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, this person's identity is very sensitive, and he ...... The implications are wide-ranging. The minister dared to speak, if he was directly brought up, he was afraid of ...... Among these hundred officials, it is inevitable that there will be their accomplices. ”

Xie Jin knew that at this time, he had to stand up, and he smiled: "It turns out that in the whole world, there is only one loyal minister, Marquis Annan?" If this is the case, all cases will be decided by the Marquis of Annan, and whether the Qin case is decided or not by the Marquis of Annan, who is the mastermind, and the Marquis of Annan has the final say, and the Marquis of Annan ...... You have to remember the lessons of Ji Gang, this Ji Gang is precisely because of this, covering the sky with one hand......"

His words were not very hurtful, but they were very insulting.

Zhang Anshi glared at Xie Jin angrily.

Xie Jin also seemed to feel speechless, so he simply kept silent.

Zhang Anshi thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, since some people don't believe it, then the minister has a way." ”

Zhu Di said: "What way? ”

Zhang Anshi said: "You can leave some ministers who are convincing on weekdays here." These people, at the very least, can be sure that they are never involved in the reverse case. The minister then sent the mastermind to report the consequences of the case in front of His Majesty and these people, and as for the others, they had to be wronged and recused. ”

This is indeed a good way, the only question is, which ministers, who are very prestigious among the hundred officials, convinced by everyone, and loyal at the same time, will never be involved in the reverse case, and will never speak out after knowing the cause and effect?

Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi with a smile and said, "Who can stay here." ”

The hundred officials were almost suffocated, how to listen to it, how to think it was a pit.

Zhang Anshi said: "If the minister reports it, I am afraid that it will offend many people, but since His Majesty asked, the minister had no choice but to fight." ”

He paused, and said word by word: "University scholar Hu Guang." ”

Hu Guang: "......"

Hu Guangwan didn't expect that Zhang Anshi had a good impression of him.

Zhang Anshi continued: "Yang Rong, a scholar, Jianyi, a scholar of the Ministry of Officials, Xia Yuanji, a scholar of the Ministry of Households, Jin Zhong, a scholar of the Ministry of War, and Hu Yan, a priest of the country, 、...... a priest."

He reported many people in a row.

Xie Jin's face has been pulled down.

Among the scholars, he was the only one who was not invited to stay.

Knowing that it is clearly saying that in his Zhang Anshi's mind, Xie Jin is unreliable.

As for the others, almost all of them are extremely prestigious figures, and their positions are high enough to be convincing.

Zhu Di glanced at Xie Jin meaningfully at this time.

Zhu Di said: "These people, do you think you can be convinced?" ”

When it came to this, hundreds of officials said: "It is enough to be convinced." ”

"Okay." Zhu Di was also very straightforward, and immediately said: "Just these few people stay, and the rest of the people, let's retire." ”

Many people were helpless, especially Xie Jin, who blushed, but he didn't have a temper at all.

After all, Hu Guang began to complain a lot about Zhang Anshi, but Zhang Anshi wanted to leave him as an observer, and he had almost no words to say except that he was humiliated by Zhang Anshi.

At the moment, the hundred officials had to retreat.

The people who stayed behind stood one by one with solemn faces.

At this time, Zhu Di said: "Give all the secretaries a seat." Zhang Anshi, you can say it. ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Please Your Majesty again, Rong Chen escorted the mastermind to see me." ”

Zhu Di nodded.

After a while, the man named Zeng Gongzi was escorted up.

This Zeng Gongzi has a lot of scars on his body, full of embarrassment, fortunately no one hurt his life, although he was tortured, but he was very hard, did not confess anything, and when he entered the palace, he shouted: "The grass people are wronged, the grass people are wronged......

As he spoke, he said with tears in his eyes: "The grass people are from Jingzhou, and their families are quite wealthy, and they have some fertile land, and they have come to the capital to do some small business, which are all well documented, but ...... But they were framed for no reason, and they wanted to kill me...... Grass Folk ...... Grass Folk ......"

When he said that, he began to cry loudly, looking like he had been greatly wronged.

Hu Guang frowned, and couldn't help but look at Zhang Anshi speechlessly.

The mastermind of the so-called Qin case is such a young man?

Yang Rong, Jian Yi, and Jin Zhong were calm, looking like an old god was there, just listening steadily, they all knew that things were not so simple.

Zhu Di glanced at Zhang Anshi and said: "The mastermind is this person, right?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "It's almost this person." ”

Saying that, Zhang Anshi sneered at the Zeng Gongzi: "Pu Chengzhi, don't pretend anymore." ”

Zeng Gongzi immediately said: "Who is Pu Chengzhi?" ”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "Then, I have to ask someone to testify." ”

Zeng Gongzi seemed to be fearless, and he didn't seem to be worried about Zhang Anshi's evidence at all.

He said: "Okay, I want to see how I became a master of Wansheng and became a student." ”

Zhu Di saw the mess, so he asked Zhang Anshi: "What's going on?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, when the minister shouldered His Majesty's mission, he understood the difficulties of this case. ”

Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi and encouraged Zhang Anshi to continue.

Zhang Anshi said eloquently: "What can be earned by sea trade is a huge amount of wealth. In order to carry out maritime trade, it is necessary to recruit a large number of people, and it is also necessary to establish various supply and shipment channels, which is actually ...... and His Majesty and the ministers and other business firms, there is a similar effect. ”

After hearing this, Zhu Di suddenly became vigilant, frowned, and said: "I understand what you mean, at the beginning, you were able to solve a few big cases, in fact, it was not unrelated to the commercial house." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Yes, a trading house of such a huge scale controls amazing channels, and there are countless people who rely on commercial banks to make a living, from the lowest level of wrestlers, foot power, buddies, and then all kinds of craftsmen. On top of that, there are various small and medium-sized merchants who are responsible for distribution and supply, and thereafter...... I don't know how many people can profit from these days......"

Speaking of this, Zhang Anshi glanced at Zhu Di, and then continued: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the most terrible thing about these people is that they maintain the food and clothing of countless people, which is the so-called principle that the food and clothing of millions of workers are related. ”

"That is, this smuggler, they tie up everybody. These people's lives are all here, which is why they have nothing to fear. ”

I bit one finger when I bit my nails, and now nine fingers are in the code word, and the writing is slow, and the second chapter will come a little later, maybe a little or so.
