Chapter 268: The Great Case of Tongkou

The official office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been moved out of Nangong and moved to Bankhouse Street.

Although it was already the middle of the night, the official office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was still brightly lit, and the imperial history and officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate came and went, and they were very busy.

The sound of abacus in the lobby of the government office was even louder.

Yes, the imperial historians of the Imperial Inspectorate are still accounting for the books.

Ma Mingluo is already very impatient, this has been calculated for two months, and it has been calculated from beginning to end eight times, is it not enough? Do you have to calculate it for the ninth time? Is there an end?

"Zuo Guangxian!" In a fit of rage, Ma Mingluo no longer wanted to call Zuo Guangxian an official title, but called him by his first name.

"Are you all over the procuratorate? It's been calculated eight times, and you have to do it again? Do you know how urgent the military situation on the front line in Xuzhou is now? ”

"How many things are waiting for our Ministry of Internal Affairs to do?"

"Delayed the military situation on the front line in Xuzhou and buried the Huanghuai defense line, can you afford it?"

"Ma Mingluo!" Zuo Guangxian snorted coldly and shouted, "You don't use the military intelligence of Xuzhou and the Huanghuai defense line to scare me, I, Zuo Guangxian, am not even afraid of the saint, and I will be afraid of your little master?" ”

Ma Mingluo said angrily: "What do you want to do? ”

"Of course, it's to punish the corrupt and eliminate the evil! Give me back the Ming officialdom a clean air! Zuo Guang first waved in the direction of Nangong, and said with a righteous attitude, "Ma Mingluo, I advise you to take the initiative to confess, if you take the initiative to confess, you can still be lightly punished, but if you are lucky and stubborn to the end, when we find out, then the crime will be increased!" ”

"I've told you 800 times, I'm not corrupt, I'm not corrupt, I'm not corrupt!" Ma Mingluo said angrily, "What do you want me to confess?" Explain what? ”

"I'll ask you what to confess." Zuo Guangxian said sternly.

"Ma Mingluo, this official advises you to think about it carefully, don't make mistakes!"

Seeing Zuo Guangxian's hateful face with Zhizhu in his hand, Ma Mingluo couldn't help frowning.

This time, Zuo Guangxian has obviously become more confident, could it be that this mad dog really found out something?

No, although the officials of the Internal Affairs Office have swelled to more than 100 people, the accounts are clear, and every amount of silver, every batch of materials, and even the degree of Lu rice can match the number, no problem?

"Ma Mingluo, it seems that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin." Zuo Guangxian said, "Since you are so stubborn, this constitution doesn't have to show mercy to you, take the account book!" ”

Immediately, an official from the Metropolitan Procuratorate handed over an account book.

Zuo Guang first opened the account book and said, "What is on this?" ”

Ma Mingluo glanced at it and said, "Is there anything wrong with the salaries and expenses of the officials of the Internal Affairs Office?" ”

"I still dare to be stubborn." Zuo Guangxian said sharply, "Why is the salary of the officials of the Internal Affairs Department as high as two taels a month? It is more than twice the salary of the officials of the Zhan Mansion and the Taifu Temple! ”

"What's so strange about this?" Ma Mingluo said with a blank face, "The affairs of the Internal Affairs Office are complicated, and the officials are often busy until late at night, even the days off are endless, shouldn't they have more salaries for such hard work?" ”

"You dare to quibble!" Zuo Guangxian shouted loudly, "Ma Mingluo, you and the evil act of conspiring with the officials to pay salaries and collect money from them has already happened, and this constitution advises you to confess truthfully!" ”

"You say that this official conspired with his officials to pay salaries? More than 100 officials pay more than 200 taels of salaries a month, and half of them are swindled, but only 100 taels. Zuo Guangxian, who do you look down on? Ma Mingluo laughed angrily, "Haha, this is really a crime to add." ”

Speaking of this, Ma Mingluo laughed and sneered again.

"The majesty of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, this official can be regarded as a teacher today."

"Just a hundred taels? Deputy Director Ma is really good. Zuo Guangxian smiled coldly and said, "Taizu has established the Great Ming Law, embezzled sixty two, peeled the skin and stuffed the grass!" ”

"You?" Ma Mingluo was suddenly taken aback.

It was only at this time that Ma Mingluo reacted that the other party was actually going to kill him!

It was also at this time that Ma Mingluo finally realized that the other party was not coming at him Ma Mingluo at all, but at the Internal Affairs Office and the Shengshang!

He's just a gripper.

Do these people really dare? Do they really dare?

At that moment, Ma Mingluo shouted: "Zuo Guangxian, you dare!" ”

"Do you think I dare?" Zuo Guangxian snorted coldly and shouted, "Someone! ”

There were also Beijing battalion soldiers in Nanjing, and immediately a group of Beijing battalion soldiers rushed into the lobby of the Internal Affairs Office.

Zuo Guangxian stretched out his hand and pointed at Ma Mingluo, and shouted with a dark face: "Take down this huge greed and this constitution!" ”

The two Beijing battalion soldiers immediately rushed up to control Ma Mingluo.

Ma Mingluo struggled hard, but he couldn't break free at all.

"Stop!" A low shout suddenly came.

When Zuo Guangxian and Ma Mingluo looked back hurriedly, they saw that Shi Kefa, the first assistant of the cabinet, had already walked in quickly with a black face, and behind Shi Kefa, he was also followed by Liu Zongzhou, the left capital of the Imperial Palace.

Liu Zongzhou was so angry that his beard shook and trembled.

"Old Shi Ge, Du Xian." Zuo Guang hurriedly stepped forward to salute first.

Shi Kefa ignored it, and just glared at the two Beijing soldiers.

The two Beijing battalion soldiers hurriedly let go of Ma Mingluo and retreated to the side in annoyance.

Liu Zongzhou pointed at Zuo Guangxian's nose and scolded angrily: "Zuo Guangxian, didn't this constitution already inform you to stop examining the accounts of the Internal Affairs Bureau, and you dare not listen?" Is there a Bentoxian in your eyes? I? ”

Liu Zongzhou is honest and self-controlled, and he is also very kind, and he is really angry today.

Zuo Guangxian was not afraid, and said in the direction of Nangong: "There is a cabinet vote and the approval of King Yong, and the subordinate official is a Fengxian official, which is his duty, and he definitely does not dare to ignore it." ”

"Do you have a cabinet vote to approve the red with King Yong?" Liu Zongzhou was stunned when he heard this.

"Nonsense!" Shi Kefa was furious and said, "How can the cabinet ever issue a vote? ”

"Pavilion Elder, this is a ticket issued by the servant." As soon as Shi Kefa's words fell, Gao Hongtu, who was dressed in a python robe, also slowly walked into the lobby of the Internal Affairs Office, "Shou Kuo has been unwell at home to recuperate for the past few days, and the servant will do it for him." ”

"Gao Ge Lao!" Shi Kefa frowned slightly, "The servant said that the accounts of the Internal Affairs Office will not be checked first. ”

"Old Shi Pavilion, I'm afraid this won't work." Gao Hongtu said solemnly, "It is a matter of the Ming Dynasty, and the servants dare not ignore it." ”

Shi Kefa said: "It is precisely because it is related to the Ming Dynasty that this matter needs to be cautious, if not, it will inevitably endanger the millions of soldiers and civilians on the Xuzhou front, and it may lead to the collapse of the Huanghuai defense line!" ”

Gao Hongtu said: "But if you don't check, then I'm afraid that I will be overturned suddenly!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Shi Kefa frowned and asked, "Why do you have the worry of sudden overturn?" ”

"I'm about to make a retribution." Gao Hongtu said solemnly, "Ma Mingluo, the deputy director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, harbored evil intentions, and even teamed up with Zhan Yangzhi, a wealthy businessman from She County, to secretly help Haikou with the arms and firearms of the imperial court!" I want to take advantage of the false plot in Nanjing! ”

"What? Ma Mingluo colluded with Haikou to plot Nanjing? Shi Kefa and Liu Zongzhou changed color.

Zuo Guangxian was also confused, how could he make a Tongkou eucalyptus? Gao Ge is not particular, since you have such a killer move in your hands, why do you want so many of us to spend two months in the Internal Affairs Office?

Ma Minglu's face was already so angry that his face turned pale, and he roared at Gao Hongtu: "Gao Hongtu, as an assistant to the cabinet, doesn't want to serve the country, and doesn't want to help the country and the people, but instead reverses black and white, frames colleagues, and acts recklessly, aren't you really afraid that you will be stinky for 10,000 years after defeat?" Do you know what you're doing? ”

"Don't Lao Ma is in charge of reminding, this cabinet department is very clear." Gao Hongtu said coldly, "What the Cabinet Department is doing now is to report to the king of the country and protect the relief of millions of Li Shu in Nanjing and even in Nanzhi!" ”

"What is the danger of millions of Li Shu in Nanzhi that needs to be relieved?" Ma Mingluo was already so angry that his hair was open, his eyes were red, and the whole person was about to explode, "Now there are more than one million soldiers and civilians in Xuzhou City, the Huanghuai defense line, the Holy Lord and my Ming Dynasty 300 years of national Zuo, Gao Hongtu, haven't you thought that doing so will bury my Ming Dynasty?" ”

"Nonsense!" Gao Hongtu shook in the direction of Xuzhou, and said sternly, "Huai'an Mansion has just won a big victory, the Huanghuai defense line is as stable as a rock, and Xuzhou is even more indestructible with a holy town. ”

"Deputy Director Ma, this cabinet department advises you not to take chances."

"Creating panic and spreading anxiety can't hide your crime of colluding with pirates."

Speaking of this, he said: "Zhan Yangzhi has been arrested, and the crime of colluding with Zhan Yangzhi in a vain attempt to ransack Nanjing has already been discovered. ”

……

Kang Million had been busy all night, and he had just returned home before dawn.

As a result, less than a moment after sitting down, the old butler Kangfu hurried in again.

There was also a servant behind Kang Fu, and he had a slight impression of this servant Kang Wan, as if he was one of the elders who followed Zhan Yangzhi.

"Uncle Guo, help!"

The Zhan family knelt on the ground as soon as they came in.

"What's going on here?" Kang Million said with a blank face.

The Zhan family only cared about Dong Dongdong's kowtow, and begged repeatedly: "Please Uncle Guo save my master, please Uncle Guo save my master, save my master!" ”

"Hey, hey, get up and talk."

Kang Million stroked it, but failed to help Zhan's family up.

At that moment, Kang Million stomped his feet and said, "You have to tell me what happened to the Zhan family, right?" ”

The Zhan family then said: "Uncle Guo, my lord was arrested by the officers and soldiers of the Caojiang Admiral Yamen, and said that our Zhan family colluded with the sea to rob Nanjing. ”

"What?" Kang Million was stunned after hearing this.

The Zhan family colluded with the sea and Gu Sanmazi? And to sack the city of Nanjing?

How much soju do you have to drink to say such nonsense? The Zhan family is a giant businessman in Shexian County, a giant businessman like them is a mortal enemy with Haikou, Zhan Yangzhi can't wait to eat Gu Sanmazi's meat, how can he collude with him?

Also, what benefit did the ransacking of Nanjing City do to the Zhan family?

Do you know how many industries the Zhan family has in Nanjing?

Can't you make up a more reliable charge?
