"Minister Yang Zongchang see Your Majesty!"

"Yang Aiqing doesn't have to be polite!"

Emperor Tianyou waved his hand and gently pushed the fold in front of him forward, "Take a look." ”

Dai Quan picked up the book and handed it to Yang Zongchang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, seeing this scene, Yang Zongchang was stunned at first, and then reached out to take the fold handed over by Dai Quan, and opened it, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Emperor Tianyou: "Let's talk about it." ”

Yang Zongchang sighed and handed the book to Dai Quan, "Actually, every family has done it, and this matter is not a secret in the court, but the Jia family's money is a bit high." ”

"How do you think it should be punished?"

Emperor Tianyou suddenly asked.

Yang Zongchang looked at Emperor Tianyou sitting in front of the imperial case, and then looked at Dai Quan who was standing on the side, and couldn't help complaining in his heart about the General Administration.

In fact, almost every family has done it, but this kind of thing can't be brought to the surface, after all, everyone is a decent person.

When he came, he had already received the case file handed over by Shuntianfu, and understood that this was the Zhongshun Palace's trouble, that is, before the revenge, it was too arrogant for these little guys of the Jia family, and they actually added an extra 20% of the money behind their backs, and the bitter master was forced to be anxious, and he was going to go to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion to sue the little guy, as for the Jia family who put the Yinzi money, he didn't dare to sue, let alone sue, and no one would lend him the Yinzi money if he encountered difficulties in the future, so he could only go to a darker place to borrow.

Unexpectedly, he revealed the news, and was blocked and beaten by the little guy called Lai Wang'er on the way, and warned that if he dared to go to the yamen again, he would set fire to his house, and then the steward of the Zhongshun palace found the angry and annoyed bitter master, the temptation of money and the pain in his body, gritted his teeth, and no longer hesitated, and directly deceived the slaves of the Jia family in accordance with the meaning of the Zhongshun Palace.

The Zhongshun Mansion did not hide this, and clearly told everyone that they were looking for trouble with the Jia family, but fortunately, the slave of the Jia family went to Shuntianfu and directly retracted the confession, saying that the confession submitted by the Zhongshun Wangfu to the Shuntianfu was a handprint that they made up and forced him to press.

However, the Zhongshun Mansion was not unprepared, and found more than ten bitter masters, with papers, confessions, transcripts, etc., and there were two bills signed with the name of Jia Lian, the second son of the Rongguo Mansion.

At this time, Dai Quan spoke: "That Jia Lian is Uncle Jia's own brother, and Uncle Jia has just been rewarded by the Queen Mother, if some bad gossip reaches the ears of the Queen Mother... It's not good. ”

Dai Quan reminded Yang Zongchang with an understatement that the emperor didn't want this matter to make trouble, let alone implicate Jia Jue, so this matter could only be that little guy was a slave of Jiafu and acted swaggeringly outside.

Thinking of the favor owed to the Jia family by Pahuazi the day before yesterday, he glanced at Dai Quan out of the corner of his eye, and said: "Earlier, the Jia family went to Shuntianfu to report the case, saying that someone forged the signature of the second son, and later because of the case of photographing Huazi, Shuntianfu pressed the matter back, thinking that it was done by this bold little guy, and the archive should be found in the yamen of Shuntianfu." ”

Hearing this, Emperor Tianyou did not rush to express his position, but sat in front of the imperial case and pressed his temples to ponder for a long time, Yang Zongchang understood that the emperor was considering the feasibility of this method and the possible chain reaction, after all, the opposite side is the Zhongshun Palace, and the strength is still very strong.

At this moment, a small yellow door led Liu Wenbin, the right general secretary of the general administration, walked quickly to the outside of the palace gate, and Dai Quan was startled.

Liu Wenbin hurriedly walked in with a copy of the memoir, "Your Majesty, this is the impeachment of Zhu Zaiyan, the prince of the Zhongshun Palace, for deducting the salaries of the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion. ”

Emperor Tianyou took the fold that Dai Quan forwarded, unfolded it and looked at it carefully, his eyes suddenly straightened, he slapped the armrest of the seat, and shouted: "Evil animal, how dare he!" ”

Yang Zongchang couldn't help it, and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty ....."

Emperor Tianyou trembled with anger and said to him: "This evil beast dares to deduct the salaries of more than a thousand soldiers of the Divine Machine Battalion, and the deduction ratio is as high as forty percent, and it is as long as a year. What does he want to do? He's digging the foundation of my Ming royal family! ”

Yang Zongchang and Liu Wenbin were also shocked!

No matter what time it is, the generals will not eat the blood of the soldiers, deduct the salary of the soldiers, they have a lot of ways to make money, the most commonly used is to eat empty salaries, followed by reselling some materials in the army, I didn't expect that Zhu Zaiji, as the prince of Zhongshun Wangfu, would be so stupid, if this matter spreads, the entire military can be blown up.

Emperor Tianyou sobered up a little at this time, and read the confession transcript attached to the end again, those two eyes immediately flashed with light, it turned out that these people who were deducted from military salaries were all miscellaneous servants of the Shenji Battalion, no wonder they had not been discovered for so long, he turned his eyes and stared at Liu Wenbin, "Have you seen the confession at the back?" Who has seen this book? ”

Liu Wenbin was shocked, "This book was handed over to the minister by a person who claimed to be Uncle Jia's personal soldier, and the minister only had time to read the book, and the confession and transcript behind it did not have time to read it." ”

Emperor Tianyou was silent for a long time, and said to Liu Wenbin: "I hope Qing can forget this matter. ”

Liu Wenbin was stunned, and quickly knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "The minister doesn't know anything." ”

"This year's Jingcha, I will ask the officials to give you a promotion, go down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Wenbin excitedly kowtowed to Emperor Tianyou, stood up and exited the upper study.

Emperor Tianyou ripped down the transcript of the confession attached to the back of the fold, and turned his gaze to Yang Zongchang, "You show this fold to King Zhongshun on my behalf, and say that this matter has been suppressed by the ancestors' feelings, and the Jia family asked him to give me a face." ”

"Obey."

Yang Zongchang took the fold and responded, turned around and strode out.

There was silence in the upper study, and Emperor Tianyou was silent for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "This kid is really good, he has many hearts and eyes, and he has many means." Knowing that this is in my hands will make the greatest difference. ”

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Dai Quan again, and said in a deep voice: "Go, check it, such a big thing, for so long, how come Dongchang and Jinyiwei didn't notice it in the slightest, tell them that if something similar happens again, come and see you!" ”

"The old slave understands."

"Also, you personally lead a battalion of forbidden troops to the Shenji Battalion, take away the thousand cavalry and all the miscellaneous servants, and then spread the news that the prince of Zhongshun ate the blood of soldiers and deducted military salaries, the movement should not be too big, but it should not be quiet."

Speaking of this, he thought about it for a while, and then said, "Didn't Jia Jue want cavalry?" Tell him that I will give him 500 horses and the cavalry for his own training. ”

......

"Bang!" With a crisp sound, Zhu Houjiong, the king of Zhongshun, smashed the tea bowl to the ground, smashed it to pieces, he could no longer contain the anger in his heart, and said viciously: "Vertical! Dare to play this king! ”

Yang Zongchang, the secretary of the criminal department, came to the door with the book and stunned him, his son knew that he could do such a thing, but he thought that the matter was very secret, and he didn't think it was discovered by others, and this person was still his enemy, when he heard that the emperor suppressed the matter, although he suspected that there was a calculation behind it, but he couldn't take care of it, so he could only follow Yang Zongchang's explanation and let the prince go to Shuntian Mansion to withdraw the case on his behalf, and handed over the steward to the criminal department to take away.

After Yang Zongchang left, he had time to ask about the evil obstacle, and he was still quibbling, and finally admitted that he had indeed eaten the blood of the soldiers, but he also kept an eye on it, and did not dare to detain those soldiers, they were all miscellaneous soldiers, but the miscellaneous servants were also soldiers serving in the Shenji Battalion, and if it was passed out, it would also attract the impeachment of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so he could only pinch his nose and admit it.

But then the news from the Shenji Battalion made him sober up, and he fell for the emperor, which is even more intelligible, thousands of people were taken away by the forbidden army, and the rumors also dispersed, and it was impossible for the Shenji Battalion to return to the hands of the Zhongshun Palace.

"This evil breath is not out, this king can't sleep well!"

Zhu Houjiong slammed his fist on the desk, stared out the window and said word by word: "Shaft, let's see." ”
