Xu Jing opened his mouth again and asked, "How?" Do you still have any objections now? ”

"Don't dare, I'll have no objections later."

Baiguan bowed his head and echoed Xu Jing.

"Okay, since the person who thoroughly investigated this matter has been decided, let's talk about the people in the capital who are related to this matter."

Xu Jing's words turned sharply, and the tip of the knife pointed directly at all the officials in Beijing, vowing to thoroughly investigate the matter.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are categorically not involved in this matter!"

Countless officials were oppressed by Xu Jing's sudden name, and they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and shouted injustice.

Not engaged? As far as I know, nearly ninety percent of you present have a direct relationship with this time, right? ”

Xu Jing sneered, staring at the group of officials and jokingly asked.

"Your Majesty, most of the gifts we receive are gifts between officials during the New Year's holidays, and before that, the ministers didn't know that the money was embezzled money!"

Some officials have repeatedly cried out for injustice on the grounds that they did not know, in an attempt to evade punishment under the pretext that they did not know.

"Really? I remember that your son-in-law spent no less than three thousand taels of silver in the Fengyue Place a few days ago, right? ”

"Especially, your second son, the secretary of the ministry, has also chartered two Oiran Spring Festival supper nights in recent days, right? That's a high price of 30,000 taels. The officials of the Ministry of Shangshu are now so high? ”

Xu Jing sneered and pointed out the huge expenses of the relatives of several second-grade officials.

This group of officials, who originally planned to explain that they didn't know at all, were sweating profusely, and their hands and feet were cold.

"Now, who else dares to say that he has not taken bribes?"

Xu Jing leaned back on the dragon chair and squinted at the audience and asked.

"Since you are not exempt from vulgarity, who will stand up first and say how much you have embezzled?"

Xu Jing continued to press everyone.

All the officials present trembled, and they were very uneasy about this.

As old fritters above the officialdom, they know very well that it is definitely not so easy to escape at this time.

And the self-blowing bribe, saying that the black gauze hat on the top of the head is not only not guaranteed, but even the life of the whole family may not be saved, and the new emperor will definitely not believe it.

So much so that there were nearly 100 officials present, and none of them dared to take the lead in opening up, revealing how much they had embezzled.

Xu Jing swept over the hundreds of officials present and smiled lightly: "Since you don't want to speak, how about I let someone show you?" ”

"Chuan Shangshu ordered Lin Hai and everyone in the Lin family."

Father-in-law Cao received Xu Jing's instructions and shouted in a shrill voice.

The eunuch outside the door took the words of Gonggong Cao and then passed them out.

And the hundreds of officials above the court are even more confused, everyone knows that Lin Hai is an unswerving princeling.

Could it be that Xu Jing has been so mad that he even wants to attack his own henchmen?

"Chen Lin Hai, bring the Lin family's criminal ministers to meet Your Majesty!"

When the hundred officials were speculating in their hearts, Lin Hai walked into the Jinluan Hall with a group of Lin family junyans.

"Lin Shangshu demonstrated to the hundreds of officials present how to blow up the bribe."

Xu Jing nodded and motioned for Lin Hai to start.

Lin Hai turned around in pain and scolded the future of this group of Lin Mansions: "Say it yourself!" ”

This group of young people knelt on the ground one after another, and told them how much ink they had been greedy for over the years.

"Thirty-four thousand eight hundred and twenty taels, recently handed over double the storage. You were exiled to Beimang for two years, and at the end of the period, you can return to Beijing to reinstate your post. ”

Xu Jing seemed to deliberately give the officials present a false impression that as long as they were willing to confess, they would be given preferential treatment.

Not only did they think that they were immortal, but the path of their career would definitely be broken, and the eyes of everyone in the Lin Mansion were full of excitement, and they shouted at Xu Jing: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

The rest of the officials also had different expressions, and they seemed to be very impressed by Xu Jing's preferential treatment.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to confess! The minister accepted a total of 30,000 taels of bribes, and the minister was willing to pay three times the fine and be exiled for five years! ”

"The minister is also far from confessing!"

.....

With everyone in the Lin family speaking, some officials who were already greedy for ink seemed to have been given a booster, and they stood up one after another to expose their crimes.

But the faces of those officials who were widely involved in local governments and were extremely greedy for ink were extremely ugly.

The amount of money they were greedy for ink was too large, even if Xu Jing intended to give them preferential treatment, they couldn't do such a huge amount at all, so they could only stand awkwardly and watch those colleagues escape the death penalty one by one.

As one official after another broke the kettle and broke the charges, he broke out his crimes.

There are now less than 10 officials still standing in place, and it is extremely embarrassing for these 10 people to stand out from the crowd.

"What? How many people do you think you don't care at this time? ”

Xu Jing's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the remaining nine people and asked with a sneer.

Looking at Xu Jing's smiling face, several people trembled and couldn't help but lower their heads.

Looking at Xu Jing's current appearance, they couldn't help but think of those high-ranking officials who were killed by Xu Jing.

Among that group of officials, there are many people with huge forces behind them and higher official ranks.

But these adults who have been active in the court for countless years have all turned into corpses under Xu Jing's hands, and they don't even have a chance to regret it.

"Speak!"

When several officials were stunned, Xu Jing raised his voice again and angrily reprimanded several people.

These officials were so frightened by Xu Jing's intimidation that they fell to their knees and shouted injustice again and again: "Your Majesty, we are so conscientious that we really did not participate in this matter!" ”

Xu Jing couldn't stop laughing, as if looking at a monkey, he pointed to the nine officials in front of him and said to Gonggong Cao: "Listen, listen to what these people say, they don't know." You can know that those who kneel in front of you are all your subordinates. ”

"Even they have received tens of thousands of taels of silver in their hands, and you tell me, don't you know? Is it really stupid and easy to deceive? ”

Xu Jing's eyes seemed to be eating people, staring at the remaining nine officials.

"Your Majesty, if you have evidence, your ministers are willing to bow to the law!"

Several people are still unwilling to admit their guilt, gritting their teeth and refusing to admit their guilt, just to bet on that small possibility.

As long as they make the right bet, they will survive, and even their current positions of power will not be compromised too much.

"Very good, since a few dead and alive don't want to admit their guilt, let's pull it down."

Xu Jing waved his hand, not interested in paying attention to these nine people at all.

"Your Majesty! We are also second-class officials, you can't treat us like this! ”

When the nine people heard Xu Jing say that they were going to pull them down, they hurriedly shouted.

"Second-grade officials? The right of the imperial court is to relieve the people's worries and share their worries. Is it for personal gain? ”

"Do you dare to look at the tens of thousands of Li people outside the door? What has become of today's Daqiandu? Are you worthy of your conscience? Worthy of the people of the world? Worthy of me? ”

Xu Jing asked questions again and again, which made the group of officials feel cold all over, and their lips couldn't stop trembling, and they couldn't even say a complete sentence.

Of course, these high-ranking officials who are vegetarian don't know what Li Min is, all they know is that Xu Jing will definitely not let them go easily.

They feared that they might not survive.
