When I was young, people were panicked. Just when everyone thought that there would be no progress in the ink corruption case that His Majesty wanted to investigate, who would have thought that there would be a big movement, and the new king of Jinyiwei came over with a large group of entourage.

Wang Xiang has now been promoted to Jinyi Wei Qianhu, with the support of the Queen Mother and the Emperor behind him, and he seems to be a tiger and a tiger when he walks, and he does not take the ministers who live here in his eyes at all.

Now, he found that the most correct thing he had done in his life was to hug His Majesty's thigh, which was once looked down upon.

"Quick! Close the door! "The housekeeper of Wanfu guarded the entrance of the alley, and when he saw Wang Xiang leading people towards this side, he was so frightened that he ran to the house, and hurriedly commanded as soon as he ran into the gate.

Although he was very calm for a while, and every silver tael was carefully considered, and it should not be their turn to be on their heads, he couldn't help but feel weak.

As the first assistant home of the first ten years, even if their mansion is as clean as water, the ice example, charcoal example and other examples below are already a terrifying number.

Even if they didn't have any greed for ink, they couldn't explain the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry in the treasury at all, after all, no Qing official could have so much wealth.

Chen Zhun's 500,000 taels can really only be used to fool the world, and that eunuch is not worthy of the title of the first greedy man in the Ming Dynasty.

"Woo ......"

"What to do? What to do? ”

"Earlier, let the master not take too much, now it's a raid, woo woo......" ...... The news of Jinyiwei's arrival here reached the back house of Wanfu, and a large group of female dependents had a premonition that a great disaster was coming, and they couldn't help but cry with their heads in their arms.

Wanjia this year is also an eventful autumn, due to the death of the old lady, the eldest daughter-in-law followed the eldest son Wanyi to help the coffin back to her hometown in Sichuan, and the future house can be said to be a group of dragons without a leader.

Now that disaster has struck, the whole back house seems to be in chaos, and there they are constantly complaining to each other.

"Isn't it our house?" The housekeeper saw that there was no movement outside for a long time, and saw through the crack in the door that there was no one outside, so he cautiously opened a small door and slipped out to check what was going on.

In fact, he did think too much, although Wang Xiang passed through the mouth of the alley here, he did not bring people and horses in, but continued to go west.

"Woo ......"

"I knew I wouldn't marry your Li family!"

"O iniquity! The old lady is forty years old, and she has to go to the Teaching Workshop Division! ”…… Similar situations came one after another, as long as it was where Jinyiwei passed, the back house in front of him was all the cries of female dependents.

Because it is the closest distance from the noon gate, it is a place where every inch of land is valuable, and almost all the mansions in this area belong to the homes of the great officials of the current dynasty.

Now it is not clear whose house His Majesty is going to raid, Wang Xiang took the wolf-like Jinyi Wei all the way to the west, and as a result, the woman's cries were endless.

It's just that the road has an end after all, and Wang Xiang led people into Liyu Hutong.

"No, it can't be, Your Majesty can't have incriminating evidence!" Li Min, the former head of the household department, learned that Jinyiwei had turned in from the entrance of the alley, and his face was as if he were dead.

Since he was ordered to stay idle for the last time he contradicted His Majesty, he was not willing to be completely deprived of power from now on, so he still chose to struggle and wait.

It's just that the development of events was unexpected, His Majesty completely controlled the army and the court after the turmoil, and he had to hand in his resignation.

Originally, he had already put returning to his hometown on the agenda, but who knew that Chen Zhun's case had triggered a chain reaction, and under the fanning of those hateful Wenchen, His Majesty actually wanted to find a fat sheep in the court to stab.

Maybe other people don't know how fat he is, but thinking about the warehouse where the ground is pressed down a foot, they know that they are the fat sheep that His Majesty urgently needs.

"Don't be stunned here, take my letter and go now...... Go find Li Si! Li Min turned his head to look at the henchman next to him, and said as a supporter.

At this moment, he hated Xu Pu's old horseman. Not to mention that he was stabbed for him, I really didn't know how he taught students in the East Palace, but His Majesty had already realized that their Wenchen was the most greedy in the world.

A little kid who has lived in the deep palace since he was a child can't be taught well, and he simply loses the face of a scholar.

As soon as his henchman left, the butler ran from the front yard and said, "Master, it's not good! Oh no! ”

"Door-to-door? Finished! Li Min's eyes suddenly became hollow, and the last trace of luck disappeared, after all, he still couldn't avoid this catastrophe, and the family wealth that he had worked so hard to accumulate over the years was about to fill the inner treasury for His Majesty.

"Master, why are you crying?" The butler approached and immediately asked in confusion. Li Min wiped away his tears with his sleeve, but quickly cheered up and said, "You open the middle door!" I want to see, why did Your Majesty raid my home, is this a tyranny? ”

"Master, it's wrong, Jinyi Wei didn't copy our Li Mansion!" The butler was stunned for a moment, and then explained seriously.

Li Min's fighting spirit that had just erupted dissipated instantly, and he couldn't help but say in confusion: "Your Majesty didn't come to raid my house, whose house can you copy?" ”

"Master, I'm afraid it's the Xie family next door to us who is going to copy this time, and it's already stopped in front of the Xie family!" The butler pointed to the next door, looking serious.

At this time, there were obviously more and more movements next door, and the Jinyi guard knocked on the door to enter the house, but the Xie family realized that the comer was not good and was resisting stubbornly.

Li Min turned his head to look next door, and said with a hindsight: "Xie Yikui? In this alley, in addition to him, the former secretary of the Ministry of Households, in fact, Xie Yikui, the former secretary of the Ministry of Works, also lives here.

Xie Yikui was born in the family of the eunuch, and in his early years, he worshiped under the original Hanlin bachelor Yin Zhimen, and entered the Hanlin Academy and worshiped the scholar Li Xian as his teacher.

If you talk about the future, you are actually not as good as Xie Yikui. It's just that Xie Yikui was short-sighted in his early years, and in recent years, he has suffered from eye diseases, and after serving as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, he often took frequent leave due to eye diseases.

Although the Xie family invited famous doctors in the capital and the surrounding areas, their eyes still did not improve.

The news just came that the person had not yet returned to the Jiangxi territory, and he had already died on the road. It's just that I never thought that the first person to suffer was Xie Yikui, who destroyed his career due to eye disease, but this person shouldn't show his feet.

"Rites for life, rites for death and burial, and sacrifices for sacrifices. The husband is the verse of heaven and the etiquette of personnel. We would rather offend Your Majesty than be rude to the world and future generations. Trying to make money and raid the house of important ministers for no reason, Your Majesty is rude to the world, and our ministers should be blocked, admonished, and admonished! "Zhang Jishan and Song Cong led Kedao and other officials to come in a big way, but they wanted to prevent His Majesty from raiding the house of important ministers.

In the face of Zhu Youzhang's raiding behavior, the civil official group finally showed their sharpest weapon - Kedao, who has the duty to admonish the emperor.

In the Qianqing Palace, sandalwood rises. Time turned back to before the order was issued, and when Song Cheng claimed to have come back to hand over the decree, Zhu Youzhu and Guo Yong were stunned.

Guo Yong's eyes widened, and he even suspected that the black-faced young man was lying. I have been in the court for decades, and I have the intelligence yamen of Dongchang, a thing that I can't do by myself, how can this little Zhejiang secretary Wailang do it?

"Song Cheng, do you know what the crime of bullying the king should be?" Zhu Youzhu also didn't believe that this little Zhejiang clerk Wailang was so capable, so he reminded him seriously.

Song Cheng's eyes didn't blink, and he said seriously: "The minister did not bully the king, and he did not dare to bully the king!" ”

"So you really got something, I don't know who you found out?" Zhu Youjiao's heart moved slightly, and he asked seriously.

Looking at the entire court, Wan An's greed for ink is undoubtedly the greatest, but he did not plan to use a knife against Wan An.

Although Guo Yong still felt incredulous, looking at Song Cheng like this didn't seem to be targeted, so he also cast a concerned gaze.

Song Cheng's answer was unexpected, but he shook his head lightly and said, "The minister didn't find anyone!" ”

"Bold, you dare to tease the king, do you know what crime you should be guilty of?" Guo Yong was curious about who Song Cheng had bitten, but when he heard this answer, he said angrily.

Song Cheng was not affected by Guo Yong, his eyes looked straight at Zhu Youzhu and added: "The minister found out that the Baihe River embankment project was fake!" The embankment has not been repaired so far, but the Ministry of Industry has reported to the Ministry of Household Affairs that the payment has been completed, and this is a case of corruption from the bottom up! ”

"Where did you learn about this, don't spread rumors!" Zhu Youzhu knew that engineering corruption was the most common form of corruption, but he knew that it was difficult to obtain evidence for such local things, so he even warned him seriously.

Song Cheng's eyes were firm, and he took out a file and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister did not spread rumors!" This is a case handled by the minister earlier, the case of a water fight between Baihe Village and Xiali Village in Hangzhou Prefecture that resulted in death. The reason for this dossier is very clear: because the embankment of the Baihe River burst and the fertile fields in the village were flooded, and the villagers cultivated on the dam, and another dispute broke out at the harvest time this autumn, causing Li Si to be beaten to death. In fact, the minister has already investigated, not only the White Crane River embankment project was falsely reported, but also the White Crane Sluice was also falsely reported! ”

"Even if what you said is true, it is also a lie and deception by the river officials, what does it have to do with the court officials?" Guo Yong believed that the local government had lied about the project to defraud the money, but asked suspiciously.

Zhu Youzhu took the file and glanced at it briefly, but his brows furrowed slightly. Although he didn't have much hope for the small criminal department member Wailang in front of him, he couldn't be satisfied with handing over such an answer sheet now.

"Your Majesty yesterday appointed ministers to investigate corruption cases, and it can be seen from the feedback of various senior officials that they are already thieves in their hearts, and the ministers have served in Beijing for many years, so they already know that there is a lot of corruption in officialdom. Beijing officials are greedy for ink, mainly accumulate small and multiple, one takes the local officials to enter Beijing to honor the silver, and the other takes the salt and the silver. However, when the courtiers served in Beijing, they had neither money nor affairs, and they were all subordinate officials running errands. This time, the Baihe River embankment was falsely reported and fraudulently claimed, and the Ministry of Industry was negligent in its inspection, and the household department was at fault for dereliction of duty, and the chief officials of the two yamen could not escape the blame. Whether it is Li Min, the former secretary of the Ministry of Households, or Xie Yikui, the former secretary of the Ministry of Industry, these two have moved to a new house and bought a house in Beijing in recent years, and these two must be the ink-greedy insects that His Majesty wants. As for the specific amount of ink they have been greedy for over the years, you can know it with a copy! Song Cheng looked eloquent.

Guo Yong saw that this was simply an elm head, and immediately blamed him: "Are you really whimsical, when the court master's home is said to be copied, can it be copied?" ”qqxsnew

"Wait!" Zhu Youzhu raised a finger and thought seriously. Although Guo Yong wanted to raid his house, he had to remind him seriously: "Your Majesty, if you can't copy a large amount of property, I'm afraid this matter will not end well!" "Although imperial power is supreme, some things cannot be done arbitrarily.

Raiding a eunuch's home will naturally not have any resistance, after all, the eunuch is just His Majesty's house slave.

But if a minister were to be forcibly raided, it would inevitably be strongly opposed by the entire civilian bureaucracy.

"Intended!" Zhu Youzhu already had a good idea in his heart, and he said with a smile. Hour Yongfang, Xie Mansion.

Zhang Jishan and Song Cong led dozens of other yamen to come over, and the arrival of these people emboldened the family members and slaves of this important minister, and the housekeeper and others came to Liyu Hutong.

Wang Xiang looked at the oncoming Zhang Jishan and Song Cong and a large group of officials, and said without a smile: "Section Chief Zhang, Section Chief Song, what are you doing?" ”

"What are we doing, you're asking? Prime Minister Wang, if you dare to act in a disorderly manner, we will let your blood be spattered on the spot today! "Zhang Jishan is a tall northern man, even if it is a threat.

"Yes, let this dog's leg blood splash on the spot!"

"Raiding the house of the important minister in order to cover up the crime for the eunuch has never been heard of!"

"In the past, there were direct ministers who beat Ma Shun in Zuo Shunmen, and now there is my generation of carp alley to follow suit!" …… The officials standing in the back did not seem to be a big deal, and some people seemed to be deliberately fanning the flames behind their backs, and all the officials threatened angrily.

The door of the Xie family was finally opened, and Xie Ke, a member of the Zhongshu House who had just been suspended at home for keeping filial piety, stood up very angrily and said: "Wang Xiang, what other royal law do you have in your eyes? Even if you Jinyi Wei want to raid my Xie family, there must be a crime, not a robber entering the house! ”

"Ahem, Prime Minister Wang, although you have been favored, but our important ministers are the pillars of the country, if you help Your Majesty to mess around like this, you are in trouble, and everyone will be punished!" Li Min saw that the officials of Kedao had come to the rescue, and immediately opened the door and walked over.

In the face of the condemnation of the officials, the king took out the decree from his sleeve and held it high, saying: "In that case, then let us kneel together and listen to the decree!" Li Min and other officials couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but in the face of the sudden revelation of the holy decree, although they concluded that Xie Yikui could not commit the serious case of embezzlement to raid his home, he still knelt down in a proper manner.
