Under the autumn twilight, people are panicked. Facts have proved that the Kedao they rely on is just a mantis arm as a car in front of the imperial power.

Xie Mansion was raided by Jinyiwei, this is another defeat of their civilian group, and this time it is likely that they will really be ripped off their humiliating bottoms.

Xie Yikui is an authentic minister, so he is naturally a member of Qingliu, and his reputation is naturally excellent.

It's just that no one dares to easily underestimate the greed of human nature, even the famous Southern Song Dynasty general Lu Wenhuan finally chose to surrender to the Northern Yuan.

Now whether Xie Yikui is as honest as water, the officials who are officials in the same dynasty naturally already know it, and now they can only hope that Xie Yikui can do things beautifully.

With the advent of the time to go down to the yamen, the officials in the capital left their yamen in twos and threes, and even Liu Zhong in the Guangxi Division of the Ministry of Household and Wai Lang, the new member of the Tuntian Division of the Ministry of Industry, were discussing this matter.

It is said that the flattering party that should be most feared when encountering such a thing as the emperor's raiding his house, but at this moment, it is the Qingliu official who is so self-deceitful and honest as water.

In the autumn wind, a sedan chair returned from the direction of the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials. Xu Pu, who was wearing a second-grade official uniform, was sitting in a sedan chair, his eyes slightly closed, listening to the sound of conversation outside, and an inexplicable irritability swelled in his heart.

I obviously taught the young wardrobe prince back then

"Knowledgeable and courteous", far villains, pro-virtuous ministers, eliminating traitors, ruling officials, and paying taxes and benevolent government are all taught clearly, and as a result, after ascending the throne, it seems to be a different person.

Ten years of careful teaching has led to such a thing. This time, in the face of the ministers' attack on Chen Zhun's corruption case, he did not admit that he did not let the emperor back down, but instead smashed the anti-corruption stick at their honest ministers.

After walking through the streets, the sedan chair returned to the front yard of Xu's house. As soon as the sedan chair was behind, the housekeeper stepped forward and carefully lifted the sedan curtain and said, "Master, I'm home!" Xu Pu looked at the carved blue bricks in front of him and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Originally, he always felt that the mansion he built was a wise move, after all, a place that had to be lived in for more than ten years was naturally as comfortable as possible.

I just want the cost of this house, and when I think of what happened to Xie Yikui, I can't help but feel uneasy, and I can't help but have a headache secretly.

It is said that it is time for him to retreat bravely, but he has worked hard to reach his current position, and it is really an easy thing to give up.

Even if it is not for their own future, how many people below rely on their own backers, after all, they are the teachers of more than 600 people and the leaders of thousands of officials.

"The concubine welcomes the return of the master!" Mrs. Xu led her family members to wait here one step ahead, and she seemed to be polite.

Xu Pu saw that his son Xu Yuanji had not returned, and he was very helpless about this son who liked to mess with flowers and grass, and asked as usual: "Is the family okay!" ”

"Everything is safe at home, and Lao Fujun is worried!" Mrs. Xu replied as usual. The housekeeper helped Xu Pu out of the sedan chair and reported to Xu Pu: "Master, Li Yu has just visited from the back door, and the old slave has arranged for him to wait for you in the warm pavilion!" Xu Pu's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, it would be good for everyone if Li Yu had left the capital earlier, but now it was just a lump of cow dung, and he still went to his own house.

"Brother Shi Yong, you must save me!" When Li Min saw Xu Pu coming in, he immediately stepped forward and hugged Xu Pu's cold hands tightly.

Xu Pu is actually three years younger than Li Min, but his temperament seems to be very calm. First comforted Li Min to sit down in his position, and then instructed the servant to bring tea, and then sat down in the main seat.

"Brother Shi Yong, this is a deposit ticket that exists in Xinyi Money Store in the north of the city, and you don't need to claim it if you have already said hello, please smile!" Li Min took out the deposit ticket from his sleeve and immediately handed it to Xu Pudao flatteringly.

Xu Pu's brows frowned slightly, but he said with a straight face: "Master Li, what do you mean by this?" Now Your Majesty is staring at us, aren't you messing with yourself? ”

"Brother Shi Yong, today Jinyiwei moved five carts of things from Xie Mansion, and the matter must be impossible to hide!" Li Min saw that Xu Pu refused to accept his money, and immediately said with a bitter face.

Although the things that were removed were all covered tightly with black cloth, even if there were no 500,000 taels of such a big movement, it was already a lot of money.

You must know that the annual salary of their second-grade officials is only 732 stones, even if Xie Yikui adds the crown prince and the prince to receive a double salary, it is only 1462 stones.

Even with all kinds of hidden benefits, the Xie family can't explain the origin of such a large amount of money, and the honest and honest Zhenjiefang, which they have always been proud of, is about to collapse.

"So what, Your Majesty can't raid your house for no reason, I'm afraid your money is not in the treasury, right?" Xu Pu realized that Xie Yikui was really planted, but he picked up the tea cup and said calmly.

Li Min saw that Xu Pu didn't realize that the crisis was approaching at all, so he lowered his voice and said, "Xie Yikui has an eye disease!" ”

"Who doesn't know about this?" Xu Pu took a sip of tea and looked at the nervous Li Mindao angrily.

Li Min knew that Xu Pu still hadn't been able to comprehend what he meant, so he simply singled out and said: "After Xie Yikui's eye disease became more and more serious, he had the habit of keeping accounts, which is not such a secret thing!" As soon as these words came out, Xu Pu's eyes widened, and he looked in the direction of Xie Zhai in horror.

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace East Warm Pavilion. Zhu Youzhu was flipping through the results of today's inspection, and although he already had psychological expectations, he was even more convinced that this group of clean streams was a big joke in itself.

Perhaps when they first entered the officialdom, many of them had big ambitions, but after decades of officialdom, it was like an egg that had been left for a long time had already deteriorated.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has carefully searched Xie's house, and has not found any suspicious account books!" Wang Xiang is now wholeheartedly doing errands for Zhu Youzhang, and he reported in frustration.

"Your Majesty, if the news is true, then the ledger should be in the Xie Mansion! As far as the minister knows, Xie Yikui was no longer able to see when he left Beijing, and such an important thing was probably left to Xie Ke or others for safekeeping, or maybe it was temporarily hidden somewhere in Xie Mansion and not known! Song Cheng's face still did not have a trace of emotion, and he reasoned seriously.

Wang Xiang's brows furrowed slightly, but he said with great certainty: "It's just that I have carefully searched the entire mansion today, and the Xie family was only released after a careful search, and I didn't see any items like account books!" "None?

Zhu Youzhu put down the booklet in his hand and couldn't help but be disappointed. He also heard Xie Qian's reminder today, and only then did he know that there was an account book.

It's just that the variables in the account books are too great, whether Xie Yikui brought them back to Jiangxi, or they have already burned down, it will be useless for him to track them down.

Since he has carefully searched Xie Mansion and has not found the account book, there is a high probability that this account book is not in the house, and it has even been destroyed.

"Your Majesty, there was no warning in advance of this raid, and Xie Ke did not have the reason to destroy the account books when the catastrophe came, so the minister thought that the account books were the most likely to be hidden in Xie Zhai, but we didn't find out!" Song Cheng believed in his intuition and judgment, and immediately said it with certainty.

Wang Xiang turned his head to look at Song Cheng, but frowned slightly and said: "There are not many books in Xie Zhai's study, I have taken my brothers to look carefully three times, if the real account book is really in Xie Mansion, it must have been found!" ”

"Your Majesty, please give the minister three days, and the minister will definitely be able to find the traces of the account books!" Song Cheng chose to be confident in his intuition and judgment, and seemed to be full of energy and authenticity.

Wang Xiang knew that the current matter had disturbed Li Min, but he said unhappily: "Three days? Li Min has already run away without a trace! ”

"Okay, I'll give you three days!" Zhu Youzhu hesitated for a moment, and then agreed to come down. He naturally hoped to catch Li Min's real big fish as soon as possible, but it was useless to be anxious now, only by finding enough evidence could Li Min and the others be wiped out.

Although there is a case of the Baihe River embankment, Li Min can completely push these things to the officials below, and the officials below were originally doing the work of the top pot.

This has been the case since ancient times, some people do dirty work and tiring work, and some people play the role of towering trees born to the sun.

"Command!" Song Cheng enjoyed the current state of being an official who was really doing things, so he saluted respectfully.

Zhu Youzhu flipped through the list of Xie Zhai's raids, and then instructed Wang Xiang: "If Xie Zhai has a lot of stones, you can transport a few more cars to the East Factory, and let them mess up first!" By the way, if you send someone to keep an eye on Xie Ke at all times, maybe he will know the whereabouts of the account book! ”

"Yes!" Wang Xiang is also a gift. Zhu Youzhu watched Song Cheng and Wang Xiang leave, but noticed that the palace maid who was playing with sandalwood seemed to be intending to eavesdrop on their conversation, and looked at this back thoughtfully.

After all, it has only been more than a month since he was really in charge of this Forbidden City, but some people have been referring to it for decades.
