Before starting a large-scale investigation and arrest, Zhu Ming changed the guards of the imperial city.

Not against anyone, but just in case.

When a large number of troops stationed in Chenqiao Town, Guoqiao Town, Banqiao Town, and Akakura Town were transferred to Beijing to change their defenses, and they were mixed with the guards of the imperial city to change their defenses, there was already a lot of rumors inside and outside Tokyo.

Even those former Song royals were temporarily confined to their homes.

Inspectorate.

Chen Dong called Wei Liangchen over: "Tell me about you." ”

Wei Liangchen straightened his waist: "I haven't reached out to take the money, and I haven't helped anyone settle things." Not once! ”

"Think again." Chen Dong said.

Wei Liangchen frowned and thought for a long time, and asked, "My brother?" ”

Chen Dong nodded and said: "Before Shi committed suicide, Shi Ruchang left a book to confess a lot of imperial history. Three of them have been corrupted with your brother. ”

"My third brother is just a master book." Wei Liangchen said.

Chen Dong sighed: "Even if he is white, he is also your brother." ”

Is Wei Liangchen iron-faced and selfless?

Of course not, he helped his brother become an official, and the whole process was compliant and legal.

Wei Liangchen's hometown was in Gaochun County (Gaochun District, Nanjing City), which was still the territory of the small court in the southeast at that time.

He first wrote a letter to ask his family to cross the river to join Daming, and then arranged for his brother to take the whole family to settle in Huainan, and legally settled down and divided the fields as a "landless people". And took out the floating wealth of his family, bought the property auctioned by the government at a low price, and successfully gained a firm foothold in Huainan.

The whole process was not violated, at that time, there were many wastelands abandoned in the Ming Dynasty, and the people who fled from the enemy territory were very tolerant, as long as they defected to the Ming Dynasty, they could settle down and divide the fields.

Moreover, some former criminal officials are being dealt with, who have raided their homes and sold the property of criminal officials, and people who are well-informed and have background and money can easily buy this kind of selling industry at a low price.

As long as you don't go too far, even if Zhu Ming knows, he will turn a blind eye.

Wei Liangchen then asked his brother to take care of his parents and run the newly acquired property.

He also asked his younger brother to sign up as a regular scribe and follow the path of turning officials into officials. He doesn't even need to greet anyone, as long as his younger brother "accidentally" says something out, he can be highly recommended by the magistrate.

Wei Liangchen was very cautious, it had been five years, and his younger brother had just been promoted to the county chief.

Proper Minister of Integrity!

Even with his roommate and roommate Qin Hui, Wei Liangchen deliberately avoided suspicion and refused Qin Hui's banquet many times.

Chen Dong was very uncomfortable: "You should first call yourself sick and wait for the investigation." Although your brother is only a master bookkeeper, he secretly dragged several imperial historians into the water under your guise and acted as brokers for those magistrates and gentry. ”

Wei Liangchen's breathing became rapid, and he asked, "Is there a big deal he has committed?" ”

Chen Dong said: "It could be the death penalty, or it could be exile. ”

Wei Liangchen's face turned pale instantly.

Chen Dong comforted: "Your parents and brothers settled down as people from the south, and they are not on the same household register as you. As long as you really don't get involved, you won't be sitting, but your future career will definitely be affected. ”

Who is Wei Liangchen?

Historically, as Qin Hui's roommate, he has always belonged to the main battle faction. Even if he was sent by Qin Hui to negotiate peace with the Jin people, he still belonged to the main battle faction.

After he saw Qin Hui's true face, he chose to break off his friendship with Qin Hui.

was impeached by the main battle faction again, and was demoted as Qin Hui's henchmen, but Qin Hui did not help.

When Qin Hui completely controlled the court and summoned Wei Liangchen back as an official, the two had a violent disagreement again. He was demoted and transferred back and forth by Qin Hui, and he was always a governor in various places until Qin Hui died, and he was promoted back to the court.

And in this time and space, including Chen Yuan, there were twenty-seven Tai students who followed Zhu Ming, who was under management, to Guizhou.

Those Tai students, with Chen Dong and Wei Liangchen as the leaders.

Even following Zhu Ming to Guizhou was initiated by Wei Liangchen.

Now Chen Dong is the imperial history of the left capital, and Wei Liangchen is the imperial history of the right capital. In terms of position, the two belong to the same level, and it is not a strict subordinate relationship.

They are by no means ordinary heroes from the dragon, but Prince Zhu's hardcore henchmen!

Wei Liangchen smiled miserably and said: "In the five years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, when I was only out on business, I passed by Huainan and went home once. At that time, he warned his brothers and let them do things in peace. He also said that within ten years, I will enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, and my Wei family will also become prime minister, and I will be the founding prime minister of one dynasty. I shouldn't have given my brother a job, and I shouldn't have told them that. ”

"You go back and wait for the news," Chen Dong finally couldn't bear it, and added, "You can write a letter and honestly explain the things of the past few years, and I will help you deliver the letter to the prince." ”

"Thank you." Wei Liangchen slowly stood up and left the inspectorate with heavy steps.

……

Qin Hui returned home from work, and as soon as he entered the inner courtyard, he asked his wife, "What news did you hear today?" ”

Wang said: "Wei Liangchen, the right capital of the Inspectorate, said that he would not go out when he was sick, and I heard that his brother committed the crime. ”

"It's dangerous, it's dangerous!" Qin Hui was shocked when he heard this.

Fortunately, when he was in the relationship, Wei Liangchen refused to be invited to the banquet many times, and he has always deliberately kept his distance from himself.

Fortunately, when I was checking the land, I didn't even take the opportunity to get half an acre of land.

Wang smiled happily: "This time many important ministers will be implicated, and if they come down, you are expected to go up." ”

Qin Hui curled the corners of his mouth: "That's the truth." ”

Wang continued: "Xu Fuyan's son was arrested yesterday, and I heard that many people confessed. Among them are some children of Beijing officials, who often mingle and feast, and I am afraid that they have committed a lot of crimes. ”

"What else is there to say?" Qin Hui asked.

Wang said: "Song Xuan, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, was also arrested. ”

Qin Hui was surprised: "He is a capable minister, he has been promoted to four levels in a row in the past few years!" ”

Song Xuan belongs to the kind of lackey-type bureaucrats, and whatever the emperor asks him to do, he will inevitably exceed the task.

For the sake of political performance, unscrupulous means, as long as they can cater to the wishes of the above.

Historically, Song Xuan served as the prefect of Lin'an under Zhao Gou, and because of his extremely fierce political methods, he won the three nicknames of "Oil Poured Stone Buddha", "Squid Fish" and "Fire Army".

Thinking about it carefully, Qin Hui confirmed again: "Was he arrested directly, not that he was sick at home?" ”

"I was arrested in the afternoon, and the door of his house was sealed." Wang said.

Qin Hui was trembling when he heard this, and under the kind of things that hurt him, he actually felt a huge fear: "This is the third grade, just catch it!" ”

While the couple was talking, the servant suddenly shouted outside: "Xianggong, lady, Li Ge's mansion is surrounded!" ”

Qin Hui and Wang glanced at each other, both extremely shocked.

……

Li Bangyan knelt in front of Zhu Guoxiang and cried: "Your Majesty, I really didn't be a corrupt official in Daming." I was greedy enough in the former Song Dynasty, and now I am a minister, where can I be greedy? I...... I only accepted some gifts at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty and helped recommend a few capable officials. Later, the imperial court was strict, especially after the promulgation of the "Da Ming Law", I usually didn't even accept gifts......"

"I usually entertain guests, and I don't allow them to give gifts, I always pay for them at my own expense. I don't have any other hobbies, so I just listen to songs, sing and bow. In the past few years, my energy has not been good, and I don't even go to Fan Lou, and I no longer accept new concubines. The money I was greedy for in the previous dynasty will not be able to be spent in a few lifetimes......"

"That rebel broke the law by himself, and he should be killed, I really don't know. Please let me try it in person, I will kill my relatives in righteousness and put that rebel son to death for Ling Chi! ”

Zhu Ming sat next to him, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

is a simple excuse, directly saying that he has been greedy enough in the Song Dynasty, and there is no need to be greedy if the Ming Dynasty is strict.

Zhu Guoxiang asked: "Do you know what happened to your son?" ”

"I don't know." Li Bangyan shook his head again and again.

He really didn't know, because he only cared about his own enjoyment of life, and rarely cared about what his children were doing.

Zhu Guoxiang said: "Your two sons who stayed in the capital, together with other powerful children in Beijing, interfered in the official affairs of the government. They co-opted the officials of the household department and Kaifeng Prefecture to help businessmen buy and arbitrage in violation of regulations! ”

"That's okay......" Li Bangyan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Of course it's more than that," Zhu Guoxiang reprimanded angrily, "Your two sons also teamed up with their nephews to play match-fixing, secretly bribed other ball clubs, and set up private casinos to make huge profits by gambling!" The son of Xu Fuyan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was involved in helping them cover up the casino, and they also joined forces to pull the Kaifeng Futong sentence into the water! ”

Li Bangyan's forehead sweated wildly.

Zhu Guoxiang continued: "Your second son dared to accept a woman from a good family with a marriage contract as a concubine in Tokyo City and at the feet of the Son of Heaven. The woman's fiancé was beaten and lay down for two months, and the housekeeper dog was also beheaded, so he was so frightened that he ran to the woman's family to withdraw from the marriage! ”

Li Bangyan said with a crying voice: "Official, the ministers really don't know about these things. ”

Zhu Guoxiang slapped the table: "You said that you were sick and went home waiting for the investigation, and you are not allowed to leave the house for a step!" ”

"Yes...... Compliance. Li Bangyan left dejectedly.

On his way home, he was always followed by guards, and the door of the house was guarded by soldiers.

The two sons and nephews have been arrested and sent to prison, and as soon as Li Bangyan returned to the inner house, his wife rushed over and asked, "Xianggong, are you still saved?" Can you let my nephew atone for his sins and keep my two sons? ”

Li Bangyan was furious, and said angrily: "You still want to protect your son? I can't protect myself! The two children were both taught badly by you! ”

"You conscienceless, whoa, woo woo ......"

The wife began to cry, and hugged Li Bangyan's leg and sprinkled: "Say that I am a bad teacher, since you became an official, how many times have you stepped into my yard, and how many times have you taught my son with your own hands?" Over the years, how many cheap goods have you taken as concubines? Those sluts who gave birth to five sons, except for those who are still studying, have all been made officials by you! On the contrary, it is my two sisters-in-law, you have never helped to find an official......"

Li Bangyan kicked his wife away with a shocking leg: "Fortunately, I didn't let them be officials, otherwise I would have to be beheaded all over the house, and I wouldn't even leave half a way to live." You woman comes from a small family, and she is stupid, and your son is learning from you! ”

The wife stopped crying, stood up and grabbed Li Bangyan's shirt theory: "You think I came from a small family, why didn't you dislike it at the beginning?" My family is still a gentry, and your family is just a mere craftsman, and it was initiated by gold panning! Do you have the face to dislike me? Let me tell you Li Bangyan, if your son has three longs and two shorts, the old lady will drag you to die together! ”

"Die, all die, the whole family dies together!" Li Bangyan broke the jar and pushed his wife into the house to drink.
