Of course, he actually had a subtext that he didn't say, that is, He Qiaoxin didn't give them any handle in the courtyard.

"In that case, the old man used to be! Brother Zhongshen, how about not removing this wine table first, keeping it for it and continuing to drink it when you come back? He Qiaoxin seemed to agree without fear, and then proposed to Qiu Jun.

If the Metropolitan Procuratorate had made up other charges for himself, he might still be worried, but he thought he had done a perfect job of accepting bribes.

At the beginning of his entry into the officialdom, he accepted his father's advice, and did not greed for a penny of the imperial court at all, and embarked on the purest clear stream route.

To this day, even if the local officials continue to send a large number of ice and charcoal watches, he asks the housekeeper not to collect the two things.

As for those expensive tea, famous wine, ginseng and other items, these are consumables that can be used at any time, and it is difficult for the Metropolitan Procuratorate to verify in this regard.

The most important thing is that in the unspoken rules of the Ming officialdom, these things are not classified as bribes at all, and they have long been the existence of the law that does not hold the public accountable.

It is precisely like this, even if the Metropolitan Procuratorate investigates himself as the emperor's intention, but this time he hastily called himself to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for investigation, just to make a name for himself as the biggest Qing official in this dynasty.

Although the sky was overcast at the moment, there was no sign of snow.

Qiu Jun knew that He Qiaoxin's family was wealthy, and he really didn't take a penny in gold and silver, so he immediately gave his hand: "Hehe...... This peach blossom brew is indeed not finished drinking, so brother will wait for you to come back and continue to drink! ”

Wang Yu glanced lightly at Qiu Jun, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, but knew that this little old man with a kind face was not a good thing, so he made a gesture of invitation to He Qiaoxin: "He Shangshu, please!" ”

He Qiaoxin said goodbye to Qiu Jun, his chin rose slightly, and he walked in the front with his hands.

"It's all right!"

"Everybody's gone!"

"Do what you have to do!"

……

The people in He Mansion were originally very worried about He Qiaoxin, but when they saw He Qiaoxin's appearance of coming to accept the commendation, they also put their hearts down.

The housekeeper of the He Mansion knows a lot about officialdom, and now his master seems to have been targeted by the imperial court, but it would not be a good thing if he could gain a good reputation.

In the Ming Dynasty, there are traitors like Wan'an who flattered the emperor and gained power, but there are also clear streams like Liu Daxia who dare to hide treasure maps and are famous all over the world.

Now, his lord did not choose to take the flattering route, but became one of the leaders of Qingliu, and he may not be able to break the shackles and enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister in the future.

That's right, although his master was taken to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for questioning, he was not worried at all.

"Isn't the Metropolitan Procuratorate looking for trouble?"

"We don't dare to do anything, the capital has long been known to everyone!"

"Huh...... This is not a good thing, then let the world know who is the first Qing official of the Ming Dynasty! ”

……

All the family members of He Mansion were shocked, but after learning what happened, they especially knew about the potential political capital gains here, but they clamored one after another.

Since it was still early for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, they did not need to worry about delaying their family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

After all, it is the Chinese New Year's Eve, even if there is excitement to see here, but everyone is more willing to prepare for the New Year at home, so the movement here does not cause much movement.

Xiaoyongfang is very close to Jiangxi Mixiang, and He Qiaoxin's sedan chair soon came to the Ducha Courtyard.

Although the Metropolitan Procuratorate has always been the yamen of the second grade, it has always emphasized the place and neglected the capital, so that there is no strong sense of presence in the capital.

It's just that in the current Hongzhi Dynasty, after Emperor Hongzhi set up the search hall of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it simply became a nightmare place for Beijing officials.

The most terrifying thing is that the Metropolitan Procuratorate is different from the infamous Beizhen Fusi interrogation, and now Wang Yue is in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate with high credibility.

For example, even if the Beizhen Fusi has already verified the crime, the officials who come out of the results can use excuses such as torture and confession, but the officials who have been judged by the Metropolitan Procuratorate are usually literati groups, no matter how much they help to clear their hands, they are no longer clean.

When Xin was in charge of the Yamen of the Criminal Department, it was also in Mixiang, Jiangxi, but he had always looked down on Wang Yue, a "lonely minister", so he had not come to the Metropolitan Procuratorate since he took office as the secretary of the Criminal Department.

As soon as he walked out of the sedan chair, a yin qi blew in his face, which made him can't help but shiver.

When Xin looked at the familiar and unfamiliar Metropolitan Procuratorate in front of him, he suddenly found that there was an ugly statue of Thor enshrined in the courtyard, and he looked at his eyes condescendingly destined himself, and he almost couldn't even stand on his feet.

But I didn't expect that this place was even more gloomy than Beizhen Fusi.

"He Shangshu, please go inside!" Wang Yu saw He Qiaoxin's reaction in his eyes, and then raised his head and pointed to the interrogation hall inside.

After all these years of experience, he is no longer the boy who likes to ride horses and chase the wind in the fields, but a mature Metropolitan Procuratorate to search thousands of households.

The criminal department secretary in front of him seems to be righteous and awe-inspiring, but judging from his weak heart, he is actually just a hypocrite who relies on his rich family assets to maintain the image of a clean official.

In these years of picketing, there are indeed too many such people, all of whom talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, but behind their backs they are doing the work of male thieves and female prostitutes.

After all, He Qiaoxin was the high-ranking scholar of the second-grade criminal department, and he quickly stabilized his mind and said with a calm face: "What about Wang Yue?" Why hasn't he come out yet? ”

"He Shangshu, what do you mean by this?" Wang Yu didn't expect He Qiaoxin to be playing here, so he frowned and said.

He Qiaoxin glanced at Wang Yu lightly, and said as a matter of course: "The old man is a dignified and second-grade imperial court official, and he came to the Metropolitan Procuratorate this time just to cooperate with your investigation, and now he has followed the holy will here." It's just that if Wang Yue doesn't come out to greet him, then don't blame the old man for going back, and that's the end of today! ”

Wang Yu's face suddenly turned cold, he had never seen such an official putting on a show.

"He Shangshu, the old man is here, please come inside!" Wang Yue appeared in person and said lightly to He Qiaoxin, who was on the shelf.

Although the words seemed very polite, the words revealed a sense that could not be refused, especially those eyes that only those who have really experienced the military have.

After Wang Yue returned to Beijing, he seemed very low-key, even if he sat aside without saying a word every time he attended the highest meeting, as if he had never been the imperial history of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

It's just that since he served as the imperial history of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he has not done a single thing, and he has made the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate impressive, and it has become the most desired unit for the new science and technology scholars to enter.

Mutter......

Shi Xin couldn't help swallowing his saliva, although he did rely on it, but he couldn't resist Wang Yue's coercion at all.

It was only at this time that he realized that he seemed to have been despising this Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court too much.

was about to say something to retrieve the scene, but when he saw that Wang Yue had already turned around and walked inside, he had to follow with a huff, and the explanation in his heart was to see what tricks this old guy played.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate has a torture hall, but it is mainly a private hall. After all, unlike the Shuncheon Mansion, all the cases tried by the Metropolitan Procuratorate will not be tried publicly, but the Metropolitan Procuratorate will directly interrogate the suspects.

Today's Chinese New Year's Eve was originally on holiday, but the case involving the emperor personally designated the case, the left deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Yu Shi Bian Yong, and other officials came back to side the trial.

When they saw He Qiaoxin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, appear here, their eyes were quite complicated.

Since the restructuring of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, although countless civil and military officials have been arrested and interrogated, He Qiaoxin is undoubtedly the highest civil official of the second grade.

It's just that when I think of what He Qiaoxin did, it's simply self-inflicted.

The current Emperor Hongzhi is not a good man and a good woman, and He Qiaoxin's plan to obstruct the imperial court to issue treasury bonds actually killed the dignified first assistant.

The emperor summoned Wang Yue into the palace, although Wang Yue didn't say anything after he came back, but the mission of their Metropolitan Procuratorate was undoubtedly to bite He Qiaoxin to death, which would also be the biggest exam question for their entire Metropolitan Procuratorate.

"Wang Zongxian, I don't know why I called the old man to the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" He Qiao changed into an official uniform before he came, and stood in the middle of the hall with a high spirit.

Wang Yue was already sitting in the hall, and he spit out two words without raising his head: "Take bribe!" ”

The left deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the imperial Shi Bian Yong, and other officials silently exchanged glances, but they knew that He Qiaoxin was very clean in this regard, and I was afraid that he would not be able to bite the criminal department secretary in front of him.

"This official knows that this is the emperor who has misunderstood me, thinking that the officials in the world must be greedy, but the old man advises you to all inspect the court not in vain!" What He Qiaoxin was most afraid of was this crime, and he seemed to persuade without fear.

Wang Yu's brows furrowed slightly, and he didn't like the arrogance of this criminal department secretary.

Wang Yue put down the information in his hand, and then looked up at He Qiaoxin: "A few days ago, you gave two ginseng sticks to Hanlin Cultivation Fei Hong, can you do this?" ”

"The news of your Metropolitan Procuratorate is very well-informed, and there is indeed such a thing! The old man saw that his junior was weak, and gave him two ginseng sticks to replenish his body, is this not a bribe? He Qiaoxin was slightly surprised, and immediately asked rhetorically.

The left deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Yu Shi Bian Yong and other officials turned their heads to look at Wang Yue worriedly, this kind of behavior sounded very normal.

Wang Yue met He Qiaoxin's gaze and said seriously: "There is nothing wrong with giving ginseng, but the market value of these two wild ginseng is estimated to be more than 1,000 taels of gold, which is a big deal!" ”

"A thousand taels of gold? The people of the merchants like to make profits, and they dare to ask for a thousand taels of gold when they dig out the two things dug up by the people in the mountains and fields, and this kind of valuation is not credible! He Qiaoxin already had a statement in his heart, even if the clouds were light and light.

Wang Yue knew that He Qiaoxin in front of him was a real old fritter, so he gave Hu Jun next to him a look: "Two things? Lord He, then you have to take a good look at these two things, how they are in condition and ask for a thousand taels of gold, and the major medicinal herb stores are rushing to ask for it! ”

Hu Jun lifted the tray, revealing two golden ginseng sticks inside.

When the officials such as Bian Yong, the left deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, saw such a quality of ginseng, their eyes suddenly straightened, and these two ginsengs were indeed worth a thousand taels of gold.

"How can this ginseng end up in your hands?" When He Qiaoxin saw these two familiar ginsengs, he blurted out in shock.

Although the value of this kind of thing is incalculable, the best result is that Fei Hong can eat it, instead of appearing in Wang Yue's hands as evidence.

"These two ginseng sticks were given by you to Hanlin Xiu Fei Hong, so naturally I got them from Fei Hong, but I don't know where you got these two wild ginseng roots?" Wang Yue replied as a matter of course, and then asked rhetorically.

He Qiaoxin faintly felt that he was selling Fei Hong's kid, but his years of officialdom made him say very calmly: "Forget!" ”

"How can you forget this kind of thing, what do you mean by prevaricating our Metropolitan Procuratorate so much?" Bian Yong, the left deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, immediately stood up to maintain the majesty of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

He Qiaoxin knew that the Metropolitan Procuratorate did not have the power to lynch Shangshu of the dignified Criminal Department, and said happily with a dead pig that was not afraid: "Forget is forget, do you remember the last time the master's family entertained your woman?" ”

Hey? This...... Seems to make sense!

Officials such as Bian Yong, the left deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, pondered for a while, and found that it seemed to be the same thing.

"In this way, you have received so many things that you don't even remember yourself! In this case, then this official will recall for you that these two wild ginseng were given by Huang Yu, president of the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce! Wang Yue showed a survey result, which seemed to be serious and authentic.

"Those two ginseng sticks were given by Huang Yu, president of the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce, so what?" He Qiaoxin didn't expect that Wang Yue had even investigated this, so he simply confessed directly.

Wang Yue took out an investigation report again, revealing the truth in a serious manner: "The reason why Huang Yu gave you this ginseng is to be able to successfully obtain a financial business license in Guangdong, and he did get a financial business license in Guangdong!" ”

"The Ministry of Household Affairs is responsible for reviewing the financial business license, and our Criminal Department is only a temporary approved yamen. If you really want to investigate this matter, you should investigate the household department first, and then investigate our criminal department! He Qiaoxin was secretly startled, but he was still very calm.

Although he did have some help in collecting Huang Yu's ginseng, the yamen of their criminal department was not the main audit department, but just opened a small convenient door.

What's more, with Huang Yu's strength, it is a natural little thing to get a small Guangdong financial business license, even if the normal process can be passed.

It is precisely because of this that he is not worried that Wang Yue will hold on to this matter, and there is no political risk in this matter at all.

Wang Yue saw He Qiaoxin's fearless appearance, so he looked into He Qiaoxin's eyes and said: "I'm afraid you don't know, Huang Yu returned to Guangdong to continue lending usury, and his financial license has been revoked by Chen Zheng, the new governor of Liangguang!" You accepted a heavy gift from Huang Yu, causing such a profiteer to obtain a business license, which has constituted the crime of accepting bribes! ”

Pretty!

Officials such as Bian Yong, the left deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, did not expect that the Guangdong side would have divine assistance, and thought that this matter might be a breakthrough, and they couldn't help but secretly shake their fists and get excited.

"The household department reviews and the criminal department approves it, and it is impossible to guarantee that everyone has no problems! As for the official taking bribes, this crime cannot be afforded! Huang Yu's financial license is the responsibility of Du Jian, a member of the criminal department, and the old man has at most a responsibility that is not strict under his rule, but if you pursue joint and several liability like this, who will dare to approve the financial license in the future? Although He Qiaoxin was secretly frightened, he defended very confidently.
