Inside the private room.

Wu Nian put his hand on the table, his palm gently patting the tabletop, his face expressionless.

The eunuch and the Ouchi guards looked at each other, and then honestly pretended to be dead. Originally, they were furious when they heard this.

But as soon as he saw Wu Nian's expression, he was not angry again.

These guys are dead.

Flying is nothing at all.

The Son of Heaven doesn't remember the villain, forget it.

Now it's stealing the money of the Son of Heaven, and this is a big problem.

The prefect of the broken family, the county order of the extinction.

The Son of Heaven who destroyed the Nine Clans.

Of course. Our Son of Heaven is still very benevolent. Generally, the main culprit is killed, the house is raided, and the family members are exiled to the bitter cold place.

Three Hans.

Let these people go to the frontier areas and contribute to the defense of the country.

Wu Nian sighed and said to himself, "I was careless." ”

This straightens out the rule of officials.

The atmosphere of officialdom has changed, what should profiteers do?

The grain hurts the peasants.

A bumper grain harvest is not good for the peasants. The imperial court used the money from the state treasury, and he used the money from the treasury to bail out the market and stabilize grain prices.

Of course, this benefit also fell on the common people, but a big bite was eaten by these profiteers.

Profiteers took advantage of the lack of information to buy grain from ordinary people and sell it to the imperial court at a high price.

This is a big business opportunity for businessmen.

As long as there is a 100% interest, the businessman can risk killing his head.

For example, the Cao family in Shanxi.

This territory is bigger, the population is larger, and there are all kinds of birds. No matter how shrewd the emperor is, no matter how powerful the court is, there are times when he is deceived.

There are times when you lose money.

Didn't Li Shimin?

Didn't Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?

Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who has a fiery temper, often peels and cramps people, but there are still corrupt officials and profiteers who keep popping up.

If he hadn't eaten this meal out by chance. I am afraid that I will also be kept in the dark, and the money I saved will be swallowed by these profiteers.

was also laughed at as a big wronged.

Wu Nian raised his head and said to a big inner guard: "Call the people outside the restaurant in and arrest these profiteers." ”

People are arrested first, and the charges are followed by the charges.

"Yes." The Ouchi guard immediately answered and turned to go down.

Wu Nian was not interested, met with this group of merchants, stood up, walked out of the private room with an expressionless face, and left the Chrysanthemum Building.

A moment later, a chief flag officer led his subordinate Ouchi guards and entered the restaurant with a knife.

"Ladies and gentlemen. What's going on? The shopkeeper looked at the fierce Ouchi guard, was stunned, and hurriedly asked.

"The Criminal Department is in charge. Idle people, etc., all get out of the way. The chief flag officer shouted, pushed open the shopkeeper, and rushed straight to the second floor.

Seeing this, the diners in the lobby immediately left in a hurry. Some people also took the opportunity not to give money, and ate in vain.

Inside the private room of Wang Jiadong.

Wang Jiadong and the four of them had almost eaten and were about to leave. The door was kicked open with a bang. The chief flag officer barged in with his subordinates, glanced at everyone present, and ordered: "All of them will be taken into custody." ”

"Yes." Ouchi's guards shouted yes and rushed forward together. Regardless of whether it was good or bad, he divided it by two and beat the man present before tying it up.

Before Wang Jiadong could react, his nose and face were already blue and swollen, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding.

"Who are you? At the feet of the Son of Heaven, is there still a royal law? Wang Jiadong reacted, his eyes cracked.

He knew that he was afraid of getting into big trouble, and no matter how arrogant he was, he also knew that he was afraid.

The other three merchants were even curled up in a ball, like caterpillars.

"Wang Fa? Uncle, I am the king. The chief flag officer sneered, went up and kicked Wang Jiadong first, and then slapped ten mouths, making Wang Jiadong's face turn into a pig's head.

What a turtle son.

We are such a good son of heaven and such a benevolent policy.

You dare to steal the money of the Son of Heaven after such a thing.

Bah.

It is reasonable for you to steal the money of the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven will raid your home. Aren't you known as the king of millions? Well, now the family wealth is all the Son of Heaven.

"Take it away."

After the chief flag officer finished fighting, he was in good spirits, and with a wave of his hand, he took everyone present away.

Not a word of explanation.

Wang Jiadong and the others had no idea what was going on.

............

Wu Nian took a carriage, quickly returned to the palace, and went straight to Wenyuan Pavilion.

"Your Majesty!!"

He didn't give notice in advance, and the officials and Ouchi guards who entered and exited the cabinet were surprised to see Wu Nian, and hurriedly knelt down to greet him. Wu Nian ignored them and entered the Wenyuan Pavilion directly.

Liu Zhixing and other cabinet ministers heard the movement and just wanted to get up and salute. Wu Nian has already come in.

"No need to salute." Wu Nian waved his hand, came to the throne and sat down, raised his head and said the matter at a very fast speed. Finally. Wu Nian said: "Investigate the matter clearly. ”

"Whether it is Hebei, Liaodong, Sanhan, Youyan, Xinqi. No matter who it is. What is the identity. People were killed, homes were raided, and family members were exiled. ”

"Give the money back to the widow. Also, investigate things clearly. Where did their grain come from. Remember. It is necessary to investigate every household. ”

"Got it checked. Subsidize the money to farmers. ”

"Of course. The farmers are not all good people. There are many people. Someone may take the opportunity to defraud the imperial court of subsidies. ”

"Let the officials be shrewd and don't let the villains take advantage of it."

Wu Nian finished his words in one breath, gasped involuntarily, and then sat on the throne with a black face.

The faces of Liu Zhixing and the others were also ugly.

Liu Zhixing immediately got up and knelt in front of Wu Nian with the ministers. Liu Zhixing kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty." If the ministers are derelict in their duties, please punish them. ”

"It's a dereliction of duty, but it's not too late to make amends."

Wu Nian nodded, his face looked a little better, and then said, "Let's go and do things." Do it vigorously. ”

"Kill people's heads and roll in."

"Yes." Liu Zhixing and others shouted yes, and they also showed murderous aura.

Boy.

The money stolen to the court.

This time, if the Son of Heaven hadn't found out. We've all been kept in the dark, and we've been discredited.

Liu Zhixing, as the first assistant of the cabinet, immediately began to command. He first asked Wang Youxiao, who had been in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, to personally go to the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and asked these criminal law departments to all go out to investigate.

For such a big matter, there may be officials working on it.

Then he immediately issued an official letter and sent it to the governors and governors of various places. The yamen at each level will be implemented to the prefect and county orders.

The manpower of the Imperial City Division was also dispatched.

Prevent the presence of magistrates, maintain merchants.

This matter must be investigated clearly. Recover all the silver lost by the court and the Son of Heaven.

Wu Nian sat on the throne and watched Liu Zhixing deal with this matter vigorously and resolutely, and nodded with satisfaction. It's all careless. That's why the villain took advantage of the loophole.

Now that I have reacted, the cabinet is still very strong.
