These brocade guards are rampage through the streets like wolves and tigers, and those who stand in the way are either punched or kicked! And a few scholars actually scolded Jinyiwei for being an eagle dog of the imperial court, and they were directly locked and dragged away! This makes everyone dare not speak!

In this way, a large number of Jinyi guards led people to almost sweep away the officials of the capital city! Except for a few lowly officials who hid in the yamen and trembled at home, most of the officials were stripped of their clothes and hats and escorted into the governor's yamen!

And these brocade guards stepped up interrogation after arresting people back during the day, and they didn't rest even at night, and they continued to interrogate one by one with excited expressions! Some of the officials confessed honestly, some denied it vigorously, and some closed their eyes and did not say a word! But when the ledger and other people's confessions fell in front of them, it was useless for them to deny it, and they had to explain one by one how much money they had embezzled in the process of repairing the river embankment, and where they put it?

The most interesting thing for the Jinyi guards is that most of them actually stored the dirty silver in Liansheng Bank! The brocade guards couldn't help but ask them a question: "Don't you know that Liansheng Bank is the private property of our commander?"

Their answers were varied, but the most common one was "the safest in Lendlease Bank!"

But naturally things won't go so smoothly, and naturally someone will obstruct it in secret! Henan Province is a major province of scientific research in the Ming Dynasty, so there are a lot of officials and gentry here! Especially in the capital city, there are many great Confucians in the Confucian forest who live here! And these people are the biggest source of resistance!

They were startled by the arrest of people everywhere by the Jinyi guards today, and they naturally had to get together to discuss at night. In the living room of a local compound, more than 30 people are gathering here! Look at the book

These people all look a little older, and some of them even have some official spirit that hasn't faded! These people are either officials of Zhishi, or local gentry, and a few bookish people, who are famous figures in the local Shilin at a glance! The gathering of these people is also a great force!

At this moment a man came in, and he bowed his hand to everyone and sat in the only empty seat. An old man sitting on the throne coughed and said, "Now that the people are all together, let you tell you what you have heard."

With him at the beginning, the people below successively told the news that they had inquired about today. There aren't many people who talk because they don't get much information either. After a few people finished speaking, almost all the news was covered.

Then the old man asked everyone present with his eyes, and when he saw that everyone shook their heads, he said, "Since you have nothing to add, then the old man will summarize it!" First of all, it was this time that Jinyiwei made a big move to arrest a lot of people, and the family members who were greedy for ink were also imprisoned at home by the Zhuangban! From now on, the people who were arrested are all officials at all levels, and there are few decent officials in the city now! The few people who were not arrested also hid at home and didn't know anything, it seems that they were frightened! As for the errands and helpers in the yamen, they were not transferred by the Jinyi guards at all, so they didn't know what was going on in the yamen at all? However, according to the news from Zhuangban and the archers, the officials who were arrested this time were all because they were greedy for the silver that repaired the river! Well, there's not much news about the rest! Now let's talk about it, how do you deal with this?"

After the old man finished speaking, there was silence! After a long silence, someone said, "Lord Lu, how much silver have they embezzled? How did you bring Jin Yiwei here?"

As soon as he said this, he opened the conversation! On the one hand, the old man directly shook his head and sighed and said, "This Lu is also too greedy! I am afraid that they have coveted more than half of the money used to build the embankment!"

The questioner was surprised and said, "How so? Isn't that hundreds of thousands of taels of silver? Isn't he afraid of hot hands after taking so much silver? The old man knows that the amount of money allocated by the court this time is not a small amount!"

An old man on crutches snorted and said, "The embankment here in our Henan Mansion was just repaired four years ago, and it's quite strong! So the surname Lu just repaired it and reported it to the above! That's why he wants us people to donate money and materials, he's really a greedy man!"

The first person to ask the question said suspiciously, "If you say that, this person has his own way of death."

Why should we interfere? And since Jin Yiwei has made a move, I think there is enough evidence, what can we do?"

At this time, an old man with some official spirit twisted his beard and said, "Brother He, that's not what I said! Although this Lu has his own way to die, he can't let Jinyiwei do it! Jin Yiwei has recently gained a prestige in the salt merchants, if they are allowed to find fault with the officials, won't it give them a chance to make a comeback? How long did it take for our civil officials to tame the Jinyi Guard, how can we make them tremble again!"

His remarks were echoed by several people who were also dressed as officials. When these people were officials, it was when the power of the civil official group was at its peak, and they overwhelmed Jinyiwei, and now they naturally can't see Jinyiwei shaking up again! So how to beat the prestige of Jinyiwei down, this is a directional problem! As for Lu Jinhan, they are another question, as an official, how can anyone not be greedy, but they are just a little too greedy!

A man stood up and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please think about what kind of life we and other officials lived when the factory guards were rampant? It's precarious! Do you want to go back to those days?"

Then another person said, "But this Lu is too greedy! You must know that if the Yellow River embankment bursts, it will be us who are unlucky!"

One of the people next to him smiled and said, "What bad luck are we happier? If the Yellow River embankment really bursts, we can take the opportunity to collect some fields and come back! The silver stored in the cellars on the left and right is also stored there, and those fields are the things that can be heirlooms!"

The man who looked like an official said, "Two, two, the topic has gone too far! Now it's time to talk about how to deal with those factory guards!"

A fairly young gentleman stood up and said, "Everyone, I support Brother Li's idea, and we must beat down the prestige of these factory guards!" Think about it, when I was first built, how arrogant the factory guards were, and how many people with lofty ideals fell under the butcher's knives of these eagles and dogs! Of course, thanks to the efforts of these ancestors for many years, these factory guards are no longer what they were back then! Now, if they are allowed to regain their prestige, won't the efforts of those predecessors be in vain?"
