Chapter Fifty-Three: The Prison Gathers
"Jian Shangshu, something is wrong...... Xu Jingchang led people to surround the household. "The official department Wenxuan Shilang rushed in and reported the news to Jianyi.
Jian Yi was stunned, the brush in his hand shook, the ink fell on the paper, and half of the written notes could only be invalidated...... Lord Tianguan was stunned for a moment, and waved his hand to let people retreat.
Then he fell into thought, and after a while, even the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing an unsurprising smile.
Xu Jingchang's goods are a stick in the court, specially stirred, nothing to do, the report of the palace, the progress of the assessment of hundreds of officials, are all made up by him.
Now it's better to give him the authority to collect taxes again, and it's no wonder if nothing happens.
The only question now is who this kid is talking to.
Don't look at him sealing the household first, but who will be really unlucky next, it's hard to say, he, a heavenly official, can only watch quietly...... It's just that I didn't expect that this son of Wuyang Hou is really extraordinary.
But it didn't seem that he couldn't do anything, Jian Yi grabbed a piece of paper, hurriedly wrote a few names on it, and then ticked it off, and then filled in a few more secure candidates...... Obviously, this is the duty of a celestial official in the ministry.
Xu Jingchang tossed fiercely, and if he took a few more people, Jianyi could stuff a few more people in.
Anyway, as long as you don't move the plate of the ministry, it doesn't matter if you are righteous, and you are even happy to see it.
The other ministries did not have the detachment of the officials, and they were worried that Xu Jingchang would attack them, so they were worried, and suddenly heard that the household department was unlucky first.
These people are simply happy.
Should!
This is shooting yourself in the foot.
The source of everything is Xia Yuanji, he has to set up a treasure gate tax card, a trivial matter, the more troublesome it gets. Now that the General Administration Department is cheaper, he holds great power, his sword hangs in the air, and all officials tremble.
However, this first knife fell on the head of the household, and it can be regarded as self-inflicted.
Very well deserved!
This is Natsuharaji's retribution.
Liu Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of War, asked people to inquire to see how many were arrested, and whether Xia Yuanji was arrested?
"If Xia Shangshu goes to prison, we will prepare a good Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on the table to shock Xia Shangshu!"
On the other side, Zheng Ci, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was also watching happily, "Tell the big guy, if there is indeed evidence of guilt, our Criminal Department will lead the three divisions and ruthlessly deal with a few corrupt officials and corrupt officials, so that the people of the world will know that our iron face is selfless and unyielding." ”
As for Song Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he purely watched the excitement, but sighed slightly, "Why bother, why bother?" The New Year's Day, chickens fly and dogs jump, how bad! ”
These people have been watching the play until in the afternoon, Xu Jingchang finally came out of the household, behind him, in addition to Zhu Yong, there are six langzhong, six outsiders, and twelve directors, mighty and vigorous.
Xu Jingchang turned around and said to Xia Yuanji: "Xia Gong, at the end of the year, the household department is accounting for the world's wealth, and you can't be sloppy, can you still hold on?" ”
Xia Yuanji had an old face and snorted: "So far, if you can't hold it, you have to hold on, it's a big deal to keep it day and night, and do your best." ”
Xu Jingchang laughed, "I know that Xia Shangshu has excellent skills and clever means. I don't have to care about the affairs of the household department, but now that the army is strong, I just happened to check the taxes. ”
Turning his head, Xu Jingchang said to everyone: "You are all guilty, this is your last chance, if you can't grasp it, you can't fulfill your duties, I will immediately go to the book, please skin you according to the ancestral system." ”
The more than 20 officials present looked at each other, full of resentment, and they almost wanted to strangle Xu Jingchang, but unfortunately, they really had nothing to do.
Xu Jingchang ran to the household department to toss, tracking down the taxes was fake, and the real purpose of his coming here was to get a group of officials who were familiar with finance and taxation...... Otherwise, relying on a few thousand soldiers alone, the ability to execute is no problem. But how to verify the amount and how to collect it, they can't do it.
We are taxing, not Shuibo Liangshan, and we can't come nonsense.
Now that we've grabbed the manpower from the household department, we can show our strength and kill all sides.
"Among the six of you, each of you is in charge of three hundred taxes, contracted in sections, inside and outside the capital, all areas, not allowed to be omitted, the two counties of Jinling in Shangyuan, and the ships on the Yangtze River, don't let go, immediately dispatch, comprehensive and strict investigation!"
In the past, they were in charge of the Clearing Division, but they only accounted for the accounts, set the amount of taxes, and were in charge of the national treasury...... It is the first time that such a fanfare has been rampant in the capital.
Don't say it, this feeling is quite majestic.
There is a feeling of being a gentleman and running rampant...... By the way, isn't Xu Jingchang the biggest gentleman in the capital?
If he falls under his hands, isn't he an eagle dog who has become a gentleman?
Hey, there is no way but to be selfless and strictly enforce the law.
Otherwise, the big guy doesn't want to go to prison for the New Year!
Xu Jingchang was satisfied, and ordered: "Come over with two foreign men, four directors, follow me to the Ministry of Works." ”
After finishing speaking, Xu Jingchang directly led the people to kill the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.
Eating melons and eating them on their heads, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu was dumbfounded.
"Xu Tongzheng, what are you going to do? Our Ministry of Industry has always abided by the laws of the country, for the sake of the imperial court, working hard, has always done the hardest work, suffered the most scolding, how can you bully the Ministry of Industry? I'm going to write a letter of impeachment, and I'm going to see Your Majesty. ”
Xu Jingchang smiled, "Luo Shangshu knows your predecessor, right?" ”
Yu Yu was shocked, of course he knew that Huang Fu, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, was killed by Xu Jingchang with two broken stones...... Thinking of this, he felt a chill, and his gaze at Xu Jingchang changed.
"You, are you going to kill someone?"
Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Luo Shangshu is wrong, our General Administration Department is investigating the issue of taxation, even if it is Jing'an Marquis Wang Zhong, it is only three months, rest assured, I will not kill people." ”
After speaking, Xu Jingchang turned around and said to his subordinates: "Go, seal all the accounts of the Ministry of Works!" ”
Yu Yu was shocked, "Xu Tongzheng, you can't come nonsense, at the end of the year, there are still several projects in the Ministry of Industry, including the repair of the East Palace, which is the residence of the prince, you sealed the accounts of the Ministry of Industry, which affected major events, who will be responsible?" ”
Xu Jingchang didn't panic at all, "The bamboo and wood are divided, and you collect the toll for the wood, which has nothing to do with the construction of the project." You don't want to say that the Ministry of Industry has collected money and wants to use it to do the project and decorate the East Palace, right? ”
Yu Yu was stunned and said angrily: "That's what it means, so what? ”
Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Then it's a big deal, you collect your own money and spend it yourself, I have received several reports in the General Administration Department about the shoddy and perfunctory deception of the Ministry of Industry...... If you still want to stop it, then let's go to Your Majesty to fight a lawsuit and investigate thoroughly. You can rest assured, as long as it is found out that the Ministry of Industry is innocent, I will immediately resign and apologize, and I will never think about it behind closed doors again. Don't worry, I do what I say. ”
Bastard!
You can do it, I can't!
Yu Yu is about to scold his mother, who doesn't know that your kid still has a knighthood, and he doesn't care about this general political envoy at all...... The big guy is really blind, how can you be in charge of collecting taxes, it's going to die!
He had no choice but to let Xu Jingchang's people go in and search.
Half a day later, the left waiter of the Ministry of Works, the Tuntian Qing official Shilangzhong, the staff wailang, and the two directors let Xu Jingchang take a nest, and there was also a director of the Dushui Division...... Coming out of the Ministry of Industry, Xu Jingchang was satisfied.
"Luo Shangshu, I'll take my leave first, and I'll come back when I'm free...... Next, go to the military department! Xu Jingchang said loudly.
……
In the past few days ago, the most shocking person belonged to Wang Zhong, he was imprisoned by Zhu Di for three months, and the anger in his heart can be imagined...... Then Wang Zhong opened his eyes, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Punishment, these officials were sent to prison one after another, and the number of them increased.
If it goes on like this, Zhu Di's New Year's party will be held in the prison.
Wang Zhong gradually became honest, even the dullest people understood that Zhu Di was playing really, civil and military courtiers, all yamen, no one wanted to be spared, this ghost gate, no one wanted to run away.
Realizing this, Wang Zhong was quite happy, "Ben Hou was only imprisoned for three months for the New Year...... Are you guilty of dereliction of duty and bribery? If that were the case, sixty taels of silver would be enough to peel the last. The big guy has to eat and drink well, don't even get skinned by then! ”
He raised his glass, "Come, let's drink the wine, there is wine today, we will be drunk tomorrow, peel the skin tomorrow and be sad tomorrow...... Oh, I'm so talented, I can write poetry. ”
