Below, a group of officials looked desperate.

"Your Highness, has the home of Weichen and the others been confiscated?"

Suddenly, an official asked.

Hearing this, all the officials around couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly looked around.

"Jinyi Wei Da is not here?"

"None of the generals are here?"

"This ......"

The more I looked, the more surprised everyone was.

"Dare to ask Your Highness, what is this ......?"

All the officials were suddenly full of surprise.

Zhu Gaochi asked lightly, "Don't you think that after you have made so many big mistakes, your family can still survive?"

"Wechen and the others are terrified!"

The hearts of the officials were suddenly discouraged, their whole bodies were weak, and they sat on the ground in unison.

It's all over!

"What are you waiting for?"

On the side, Guo An couldn't help but speak: "You are risking the lives of the three clans to corrupt and exploit the people, don't you want to give the descendants of your family a rich family, or are you coerced and have to do it......

Now that the crime has been exposed, you will continue to resist to the end?"

"You have already made a living on your own, do you still want to wait for the weak and old children in the family to follow you, line up to go to the execution ground, and be beheaded one by one?

Or, let Er and other wives and daughters be sent to the Department of Education one by one, and let Er and other bullying subordinates, or those officials who are guarded by you, go to enjoy the humiliation one by one?"

"Think about it, can you resist the torture of the Jinyi Guard? Or will those behind you be able to escape this catastrophe...... Even if they escaped, they would dare to risk being investigated by the Jinyi Guards one by one and go to protect Youer and other family members?"

"Wait and think about it, is it worth it, is it useful......

Or Dingguo Gong is the most black-bellied!

Wang Zhen thought inexplicably.

As for those officials, when they were full of anger and fear, they were unjustifiable.

It doesn't seem to be worth it!

It's just that......

An official didn't know what to think of, a trace of expectation flashed in his eyes, looked at Zhu Gaochi, and asked cautiously.

"Dare to ask Your Highness, if Weichen surrenders himself, writes all the crimes, and reports all the officials, can he pardon Weichen's family?"

On the side, all the officials looked at Zhu Gaochi with anticipation.

Zhu Gaochi smiled faintly, "Pardon? Do you really think that this palace needs your reports? At most, I will be tired of the brocade guards, what can't I find out?"

The expectations of the officials, which had just risen, were shattered again.

"However, we can plead with my father, and those family members in your family who have not made a big mistake but have been implicated by you can live and go to Guozhou in exile!"

"Exile to Guozhou?"

The officials subconsciously glanced at Guo An on the side, and then they were overjoyed.

And they believed!

If all of them could be pardoned, they might feel that the crown prince had joined forces with Dingguo Gong to deceive them.

However, it must be okay to exile their family members who have no sins in their family to Guozhou!

Your Majesty will inevitably agree to this!

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, thank you Dingguogong!"

An official arched his hand towards Zhu Gaochi and Guo An, "Wechen is willing to write down all the charges and report the officials above!"

"Wechen is willing too!"

"Wechen is also willing to ......."

As one official began to stand up, all the officials after that scrambled to speak.

"Very good!"

Zhu Gaochi nodded slowly, "Come on, prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone for them, and prepare a house for each person, and they are not allowed to have any chance of collusion!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

In an instant, a team of guards came in from outside the hall, two by two, and one person, and watched those officials closely.

The officials couldn't help but sigh, and the last bit of thought in their hearts disappeared without a trace in an instant.

There is no way out!

I can only beg His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Duke of Dingguo to talk and count!

And inside the house.

As those people walked out, Zhu Gaochi, Guo An and others continued to eat.

Half an hour later.

The officials, one by one, walked back with a thick stack of confessions.

Of course, Zhu Gaochi, Guo An, and Wang Zhen each picked up a few copies, looked at them for a long time, and nodded slowly.

"Your Highness, these criminal officials don't have any crooked intentions!"

"You're not too stupid!"

Zhu Gaochi nodded slightly, and pointed to the food on the table, "These meals, although they are cold, you can make do with them, it is you who have abandoned your conscience and harmed many people, so you can give you the delicious food!"

"The sinner obeys!"

The officials were full of gratitude, slowly sat down in their chairs, picked up chopsticks, and looked at the food in front of them.

Eating, eating, a group of officials, couldn't help but cry again.

Then.

Wei Da, a thousand households of Jinyi Wei in Songjiang Mansion, also walked in with a few Jinyi guards.

Looking at the officials who were crying but still eating slowly, a trace of strangeness flashed in their eyes.

Immediately, he hurriedly walked in front of Zhu Gaochi.

"Weichen Songjiang Mansion Jinyi Wei Qianhu Wei Da saw His Royal Highness the Prince, met the Duke of Dingguo, and met the envoy of the pacification!"

"Get up!"

Zhu Gaochi glanced at Wei Da lightly and asked, "What's the situation outside?"

Wei Da hurriedly reported: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen has confiscated all the houses of the criminal officials confessed by His Royal Highness.

Their families are all imprisoned in their respective homes!"

Hearing this, the officials below couldn't help but tremble in their hearts again.

Eat faster, faster!

Nighttime.

Zhu Gaochi wrote a piece of music for an hour.

Early the next morning.

The two of them rode quickly, facing the rising sun, and headed towards Jingshi.

As for the Songjiang Mansion, the people suddenly found that there were more notices on the street, and on the side of the notices, there were a group of officials in official uniforms, reading them aloud.

Some curious people, after listening for a while, their eyes widened directly, and then their faces were full of ecstasy, and they ran into the distance.

"Hahahaha, Lord Qingtian is here!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to Songjiang Mansion, and all the corrupt officials were arrested by His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"We don't have to pay so many taxes!"

"Except for the summer tax and some depreciation, the rest of the fixed money, the money for the transportation of rice, the money for temporary transportation, the money for making a book, the money for the foot of the car, the money for use, and the money for the line...... It's all a pretended tax, and I don't have to pay it!"

"If you have already paid it before, you can also return it!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really the Lord of the Blue Sky, and the people of Songjiang Mansion have been saved!"

"We're saved......

In less than half a day, the people of Songjiang Mansion knew about it.

The entire Songjiang Mansion fell into a state of joy.

But.

Those businessmen were dumbfounded.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, is he so generous?"

"Yes, not only did the corrupt officials in the entire Songjiang Mansion be confiscated, but also announced this matter directly?"

"The point is, these corrupt officials will still stand under the notice so honestly and read out the notice of their guilt?"

「…… Could it be that these officials can use this to atone for their sins?"

"Impossible! They have committed such a great sin, and they have heard that all the officials' homes have been raided, how can they be easily forgiven?"

"That's fine!"

"Yes, in the future, our caravan will be much easier!"

"Exactly!"

"The courage of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also admirable!"

"It's the pole, it's the pole......

……

Capital.

It has been several days since the crown prince Zhu Gaochi left the Beijing Division, and the officials of the Beijing Division finally noticed that something was wrong.

Some important ministers also began to play frequently.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the Prince of the Ming Dynasty, and after not seeing him for so many days, the officials in the court are very worried!"

"Exactly, Your Majesty, the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is related to my Daming Society. Now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has suddenly left Beijing, and the court has not known his traces, which makes the hundreds of officials in the court panic!"

"Your Majesty......"

Hearing this, Zhu Di smiled lightly, "Are those officials really worried about the prince's safety?"

"What does your majesty mean by this?"

Yang Jing, the imperial history of the left capital, was full of surprise.

"I see, they are worried that the prince will find out what they are doing down there, right?"

Zhu Di's face was full of ridicule, since he received Zhu Gaochi's gift in Jiading County a few days ago, he knew that there was no need to continue to hide Zhu Gaochi's whereabouts.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has gone on an unannounced visit?"

Yang Jing asked in some surprise.

"Yes!"

Zhu Di smiled faintly, "So many imperial histories are impeaching Songjiang Mansion officials, we have to send someone to take a look!"

The prince went to Songjiang Mansion?

Hearing this, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites Zheng Yi and others couldn't help but be shocked.

Yang Jing's expression was straight, and he continued: "Your Majesty, the crown prince is the prince of my Ming Dynasty, and he went to inspect the provincial and state capitals of the Ming Dynasty, and he should be above board, how can he ......be like this?"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Di's face sank.

"Is the Yang Qing family accusing me?"

"Your Majesty forgives the sin, Weichen has no such intention!"

Yang Jing's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said.

On the side, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites Zheng Yi and others smiled bitterly, this Yang Jing, the Imperial History of the Left Capital, is good at everything, but he likes everything too much, and he is just about to plead with Zhu Di.

Outside the hall, there was an inner attendant who came in, and his steps were hurried, and there must be something urgent.

Zhu Di also looked at the waiter.

The waiter's scalp tightened, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, is there a rush in Songjiang Mansion?"

Zhu Di's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "But the prince sent it?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who sent the urgent performance!"

The chamberlain hurriedly replied.

"Hurry up!"

Zhu Di's face was happy.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The chamberlain did not continue to hide, and hurriedly took out a thick book of music from his arms, bowed down and presented it to Zhu Di.

Below, Yang Jing, Storm Zhao and others couldn't help but look strange, and the corners of their eyes twitched slightly.

Isn't this kind of behavior deliberately hiding from them?

And this time, Zhu Di has already opened the concert and watched it.

The more I looked, the more angry I became.

It's best to be directly furious, "This group of thieves dares to be so mad!"

Seeing this, Yang Jing, Bang Zhao and other officials couldn't help but change their expressions slightly.

"Humph!"

Zhu Di remembered something, and snorted coldly at the violent Zhao below, and asked, "You wait for these officials, I don't know what they are eating?

I only know how to accept filial piety and take money, and I only know how to promote those corrupt officials and corrupt officials......

Violent Zhao's expression froze, and he looked at Zhu Di in a daze.

Since he came into the Fengtian Palace, he only asked where the prince had gone, but he didn't say much?

Why is it that when you are angry, you sprinkle it on him?

However, in his heart, he hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, I don't know what happened?"

"Hmph, see for yourself!"

Zhu Di directly threw the piece in his hand towards Storm Zhao.

Shocked, he quickly picked it up and looked at it.

"This ......"

At a glance, Tyrant Zhao stared wide-eyed, his face full of surprise.

"How is this possible?"

"Humph!"

Above, Zhu Di snorted coldly directly, staring at Storm Zhao quietly.

"Your Majesty forgives me, this matter is indeed the crime of negligence of the Ministry of Micro Ministers!"

"Just oversight?"

Zhu Di asked coldly.

Storm Zhao's face was heavy, "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen didn't expect that there would also be a female thief in the Weichen Minister's Department!"

"A mere summer tax can increase more than twenty kinds of additional taxes, and they exploit the people like this, but they want to ruin the families of those people?"

Zhu Di's face was dark, and his tone was extremely cold.

"If we hadn't asked the prince to go to Songjiang Mansion to check it out, I wouldn't have thought that the place where my Ming Jingshi was directly subordinate would be so erosive?"

"Even, we never thought that such a group of wolf-hearted corrupt officials, your officials would dare to evaluate A and B every year?"

"Wechen is guilty!"

Tyrant Zhao said again.

At this time, Yang Jing and Zheng Yi and other important ministers also took the piece curiously and looked at it.

Under this look, Yang Jing and Zheng Yi and other important ministers couldn't help but take a cold breath.

The entire Songjiang Mansion, dozens of officials, are so greedy for money?

Even, there are so many corrupt officials in their court?

The most important thing is that those thieves and officials in Songjiang Mansion actually dared to write down the crimes they committed clearly.

And also report the criminal officials above them, and even their respected teachers and fellow villagers?

Looking at the names of that group of officials, even if they wanted to kill all the corrupt officials, they also felt a little afraid.

If it is investigated, the scope of the impact is comparable to the major cases of Hong Wunian!

"Your Majesty, this ......"

"Check!"

Zhu Di's eyes were cold, "The officials in the world are hard, let's give them a rise and give them a year-end bonus!"

And that's how they came to repay me?"

"With a tax quota of 10,000 stones, they dare to receive more than 30,000 stones of grain from the people.

"All the officials involved in this case, no matter who they are, I will exterminate their families.

Otherwise, in a few years, those officials will follow the same example, won't my people be poisoned?"

「……」

"Your Majesty!"

"Wechen obeys!"

Yang Jing, Bang Zhao and the others sighed slightly in their hearts, and hurriedly bowed.

Those officials really deserve to be killed!

"In addition, you and other officials will select some good talents for us, and go to Songjiang Mansion to serve as soon as possible!

I don't want to wait for the officials to pick out these thieves!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, this time the selection of talents, Wei Chen personally checked!"

Storm Zhao said with a solemn face.

"Hmm!"

Zhu Di said again: "This time, Jin Yiwei, the Criminal Department, and Dali Temple will investigate these corrupt officials!"

"Wechen obeys!"

Hou Tai, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Hu Yan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, hurriedly saluted.

Out of the Fengtian Temple.

All the important ministers hurried away, their faces solemn.

It's another bloody storm!

Officials!

After listening to Tyrant Zhao's words, Zuo Shilang Jianyi's face was solemn, and at the same time his face was full of worry.

"Tyrant, this time ......"

"Alas!"

Storm Zhao sighed slowly, "The officials have made such a big mistake, no matter what, the old man can't escape the blame!"

This time, Your Majesty's request for the Ministry of Officials to select talented and virtuous officials to fill the vacancy in Songjiang Mansion is the greatest opportunity for our Ministry of Officials to make up for its mistakes, and there must be no mistakes.

Therefore, it is necessary to keep an eye on it more, otherwise, the officials will lose the trust of His Majesty, and there will be a big mess!"

"Don't worry, this time, I will definitely keep an eye on it!"

"In this way, the old man will be relieved!"

Saying that, Storm Zhao couldn't help but sigh again, "After a while, someone should come to the Ministry to arrest the officials, don't stop it, let them arrest it!"

Jian Yi looked shocked, "Tyrant, there are still corrupt officials in my ministry?"

"Alas......

Storm Zhao smiled helplessly.

Jian Yi also looked helpless.

A moment later.

In the front yard of the ministry, there was a chaotic sound.

Subsequently.

A small official hurried over, his face full of anger.

"Tyrant, it's not good, a brocade guard rushed into my ministry and arrested the two Lang Zhong......

"That's it!"

Storm Zhao waved his hand lightly, "Jinyi Wei was just ordered by the emperor to arrest corrupt officials, why make such a fuss?"

Hearing the movement, the officials who gathered around couldn't help but shrink their eyes.

"Alright, let's all go down and get about our own business!"

「……」

One day.

In the entire Beijing Division, there were more than a dozen officials who were arrested and sent to Jinyi Wei Prison.

Although among these officials, there is no *** above the squire, but they are still in Beijing, causing shock.

Followed by.

There was a message from the ministry.

The Ministry of Officials also had to select talented people on a large scale to fill the vacant positions in Songjiang Prefecture.

A group of officials were shocked again.

Then.

The news of Songjiang Mansion also reached Jingshi.

The entire Jingshi suddenly became a sensation again.

In the entire Songjiang Prefecture, all the officials united with those grain chiefs to set up a clever name for taxation and exploit the people, and more than 30,000 stone would be levied for 10,000 stone of tax grain?

It's good to be mad, so corrupt?

The most important thing is that those officials in Songjiang Mansion, after being discovered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, not only took the initiative to confess their crimes, but also actively confessed to the officials and backstage above them?

This......

Aren't these Songjiang Mansion officials crazy, Jinyiwei didn't torture them, and they actually gave an explanation for everything?

Inexplicably, those officials who have not been arrested can't help but feel nervous, everyone is in danger, for fear that they will suddenly be reported by some officials!

The arrest and raiding of the entire Jingshi lasted for half a month.

Starting from the original dozen officials, in order to find a way out for their families, they bit each other and reported each other, directly expanding to more than 30 people!

The officials of the entire Beijing Division gritted their teeth with hatred for the culprit officials who were the first to report in Songjiang Mansion!
