Speaking of this, Liu Haojia turned to Emperor Wanli and said, "Your Majesty, how can this kind of person be convicted? Please give your Majesty an order!"

Emperor Wanli, who had been waiting for a long time, said with a cold face: "Cutting his post for the people, he will not be an official for life!"

Speaking of this, Emperor Wanli's new hatred and old hatred came to his heart again, and when he thought that he had been tortured by a group of hypocrites for many years, he felt that the punishment just now was incomprehensible! So he paused and said, "You hypocrites can't teach any good people to come, so your offspring must not be a good thing! Therefore, I decree that your descendants are not allowed to enter the office! No, you are not allowed to participate in the department! Pull it down!"

These royal historians also looked miserable when they heard this, and they desperately begged for mercy one by one! I don't want anything else, I just want to let their children and grandchildren participate in the imperial examination! But the guards below didn't care what they were crying about, and dragged them out!

Seeing the fate of these eight people, the other officials also looked desolate! In particular, their colleagues in the Inspectorate were even more pale and trembling! Because this punishment is not insignificant for them!

First of all, there is still room for maneuver for the descendants of these people's families. Because if their descendants read well, they can still get the status of Xiucai, Juren and even Jinshi, but they don't have to be officials! However, there are still various preferential and exemption measures for scholars, such as exemption from forced labor, tax exemption, and even contributions, and other benefits are still there, and their local status is still relatively transcendent!

But it's different if you don't allow the imperial examination! If you don't allow the imperial examination, you won't be able to get the status of a scholar, even if you have a lot of money, you're just a commoner! You have to serve in forced labor, you have to pay taxes, and so on! The most important thing is that their children and grandchildren will always be ordinary people, and they will fall into muddy water for the rest of their lives!

These people themselves are officials, so they naturally know what kind of life ordinary people live under their rule! Naturally, I don't want my children and grandchildren to be bullied for the rest of my life! That's why they begged for mercy like this, but now everything is useless!

After all, they are just a bunch of low-grade cannon fodder, and no one cares whether they live or die! They didn't even dare to reveal who was behind them, because they were still counting on the people behind them who might one day be able to reach out and pull them along!

At this time, Liu Haojia threw the Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi in his hand to the small flag behind him, and then turned to the group of imperial historians and said, "Have you seen the fate of these people? Therefore, I advise you to prepare the script and then impeach the official! Also, don't take out a recital like those idiots!"

His words made the imperial historians red-faced and ashamed! Over the years, they have relied on those random fabricated scripts to cheat a lot of money, and now they are slapped in the face by Liu Haojia but they can't fight back, this taste is not comfortable!

But there was a particularly brave man who stepped out of the class and said, "Lord Liu, don't compare all the imperial histories with those few people! It's not something that can be bought!"

Liu Haojia smiled and said, "Is that really the case? So what about your name?"

This imperial historian arched his hand and said, "Xiaguan Peng Jinghai! And the lower officials do have a script to impeach Jinyiwei, but I want to ask the adults to refute it in person!"

Liu Haojia ignored him and waved directly to the small flag beside him. The little flag immediately rummaged through the wooden box, and then took out a file and put it in Liu Haojia's hand! As soon as the officials saw this action, they immediately let out a burst of boos, and even the expression on Peng Jinghai's face changed twice! And Emperor Wanli stared at the file in Liu Haojia's hand with interest, to see if he could read something?

Liu Haojia first quickly skimmed through the file and said, "I can't see that Master Peng is an honest person, there is no record of Master Peng's buying and selling of notebooks here!"

Hearing this, the officials immediately felt a slight uproar, and they felt relieved! And Peng Jinghai said proudly when he heard Liu Haojia's words: "The lower officials rely on the conscience of the national law to do things, so naturally they will not do that kind of thing!"

However, Liu Haojia sneered twice and said, "Master Peng, although you didn't buy and sell the book in exchange for silver taels, but you bought a set of three-entry mansions and a shop in the middle of the capital! According to your money, you can't afford it in 800 years! Don't say it's your wife's dowry, she was just an ordinary rich family when she married you

That's it, that little dowry probably can't even afford the door panel of your current house!"

Speaking of this, Liu Haojia paused for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Then now the interesting thing is here! Where did you come from with these three houses and shops?"

Hearing this, all the officials fell silent, and they all wanted to see how Peng Jinghai answered, and Peng Jinghai said with an unchanged expression: "I don't have to worry about this matter! Since the lord does not have evidence of the corruption of the lower officials, it means that the officials are not guilty!"

When the officials heard this, they finally had an honest person! But the expressions of the hundred officials were uncertain. Liu Haojia naturally knows what this means, because no one wants to suddenly have an extra goat in their flock! .

And Emperor Wanli's face slowed down a lot, obviously a little interested in Peng Jinghai! In his opinion. A royal history that doesn't embezzle money is a good imperial history, maybe he's already thinking about reusing him at this time!

But Liu Haojia shook his head and said, "This may not be the case! Because the officials can also guess that although you are not greedy, you must have taken refuge in someone or a certain force in the court, and even this force may not be a force in the court! They have given you a house and a shop in exchange for your loyalty, so your heart is certainly not for Your Majesty! 「

When he said this, the hundred officials were silent, and many people lowered their heads. It seems that there are not a few such people! And Emperor Wanli's originally appreciative face also turned blue, but he became even more angry! Because he found that he didn't have a chance to convict Peng Jinghai of his guilt! Because there is no such law!

Liu Haojia turned around at this time and said, "Your Majesty, the laws of the Ming Dynasty have reached this day, and many of the provisions are no longer suitable for the current situation! For example, people like Master Peng. Knowing that he had a problem but no evidence, the minister suggested that His Majesty revise the Da Ming Law. There must be a crime of unknown sources of huge wealth against officials! As long as he doesn't explain the source of the property, he should take it, or at least get out! Otherwise, such a person would be too harmful in the court! After all, no one knows who he is looking for?"
