"Long live the little slave, there is absolutely no corruption!"

Wang Li's answer was categorical, but it was nonsense.

There was a whisper in the hall.

"Wang Ergou!" Zhu Guobi pointed at Wang Li angrily and shouted: "On the main hall, the emperor personally tried the case, how can you allow you to quibble?" Still not from the truth? ”

"Lord Zhu, since the emperor is asking, what are you interjecting?"

Hou Sui, the imperial envoy of Henan Province, stepped forward, bowed his hand to Zhu Youzhen, and then turned his gaze to Wang Li:

"Wang Gonggong, as the commander of Xichang, you arrested 27 corrupt officials as soon as you arrived in Fujian, which not only made the Manchu Dynasty admire the civil and military, but the emperor also trusted you more;

Presumably, Lord Zhu's impeachment was a misunderstanding;

However, you can't tell the source of this silver ticket, don't you live up to the emperor's trust? ”

Before Hou Sui's words fell, Wang Li was secretly scolding.

This guy is really cunning!

On the surface, speaking for yourself actually adds fuel to the fire!

That's right, Zhu Guobi is the Donglin Party, and Hou Sui is also the Donglin Party!

I did Qian Qianyi by myself, and they already looked at themselves unpleasantly!

Just now, the nonsense that Wang Li defended was just to draw out Zhu Guobi's comrades!

It's a pity that only Hou Sui and a few Xiaoyan officials jumped out!

Wen Tiren, who was at odds with the Donglin Party, and Zhou Yanru, who was the "wall-riding faction", were silent!

The problem now is that whether or not the culprit behind the scenes is brought out, you need to "explain" it!

When he was on the road, Wang Li had the perfect solution: he called Zhang Yandeng's IOU!

But......

Zhang Yandeng in Zhejiang!

He went to Beijing to testify to himself, even if he stepped up quickly, it would take a month!

The safest way is for the West Factory Jinyi Wei to pass on Zhang Yandeng, but it is unlikely!

Because, during this time, even if he is not suspended, he may be grounded in Lingji Palace!

It is also unlikely that Zhang Yandeng will be passed on by Dongchang Jinyiwei!

At this juncture, Zhu Youzhen will not trust the factory guard!

If the person from the celebrant guards goes to pass on Zhang Yandeng, it is likely to be Cao Huachun!

For this person, Wang Li really can't rest assured!

Moreover, in the month that Zhang Yandeng went to Beijing, there will be many variables on the road!

If he is bought by the Donglin Party, if he denies the "IOU", he will be doomed!

After thinking about it for a while, Wang Li finally spoke: "Long live the lord, the little slave's 100,000 taels of silver tickets were borrowed from others!" The little slave immediately sent someone to pass him into Beijing! ”

As Wang Li expected, as soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted the opposition of Hou Sui and Zhu Guobi, and Zhu Youzhen was also a little embarrassed.

"Little Princess, you are now suspected of corruption, stay in Lingji Palace for the time being, and you can't go out of Beijing!

No one in the West Factory can take a step out of Beijing! ”

Zhu Youzhen's words had already taken into account Wang Li's identity, and he did not throw him into prison, nor did he transfer him to the Criminal Department!

Fortunately, Hou Sui and Zhu Guobi did not object.

Then, Zhu Youzhen moved his gaze to Cao Huachun, and then looked at Wang Li: "Little princess, who do you want to send to testify for you?" I sent someone to pass it on! ”

At this point, everything was expected by Wang Li!

"Long live Lord, this person is very important, the little slave can't reveal his identity publicly!

This person can only be known by Long Live Lord and Grandpa Cao! ”

"Accurate!"

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand, and Cao Huachun slowly walked towards Wang Li.

was about to tell Cao Huachun, but Hou Sui opened his mouth:

"Princess, you don't have to be tricky! Who else can you pass on besides Zhang Yandeng or Xiong Wencan? ”

These words made Wang Li's heart tighten!

Could it be that before they wrote to impeach themselves, they had already dealt with Zhang Yandeng?

If this is the case, I will never recover!

was worried, Zhu Guobi opened his mouth again: "Little Princess, if it is Xiong Wencan or Zhang Yandeng,

You don't have to pass it on, you don't have to waste time!

Because, they are in Beijing! ”

The smiles of Zhu Guobi and Hou Sui are really a little infiltrating!

It seems that they really settled Zhang Yandeng!

It seems that if you want to mix in this Ming officialdom, if you don't have some means, you don't know how to die!

For a while, Wang Li was confused.

The brain was spinning at high speed, and he didn't dare to mention Zhang Yandeng's name!

At this moment, Ni Wenhuan, the left waiter of the military department and Taichangqing, opened his mouth: "Little princess, Lord Zhu is right:

The four governors of the four southeastern provinces are in Beijing at this time!

Last year, the land tax of these four provinces could not be paid in full, and they were about to explain it to the Lord Banzai!

If you want to pass on Xiong Wencan or Zhang Yandeng, the two of them will be able to go to the palace soon! ”

Ni Wencan's words seem aggressive, but they are a hint!

gave Wang Li a reassurance!

Finally relieved!

Indeed, Ni Wenhuan is Wei Zhongxian's henchman!

He knew that if Wang Li fell down, in order to make up for his mistakes, he was likely to confess Wei Zhongxian!

In this way, the good days of the eunuch party will come to an end!

Ha ha!

It turned out that the Donglin Party did not "get" Zhang Yandeng!

This person happens to be in Beijing, it's just a coincidence!

So, Wang Li's confidence was greatly boosted: "Long live the lord, the adults are right, the person the little slave wants to pass on is Zhang Yandeng, the governor of Zhejiang!" ”

"Good, very good!"

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand, Cao Huachun didn't dare to slack off, and walked quickly to pass it.

At this time, Wang Li was a little worried!

Because, I didn't "pass the gas" with Zhang Yandeng in advance!

If Zhu Youzhen asks "Why did Wang Ergou borrow money from you", if Zhang Yandeng mentions the exchange condition of "exempting from paying the field endowment", he is still a capital crime!

Hum!

Good for you, Zhu Guobi!

Give Lao Tzu so much trouble!

If Lao Tzu can come back to life, you will die in public and private!

Also, the imperial envoy next to you, you are also dead!

People in later generations said, "There is no good thing in the Donglin Party", and this is true!

Cao Huachun is indeed very loyal to Zhu Youzhen!

What Wang Li didn't know was that Cao Huachun also appreciated himself, the commander of the West Factory, and was not jealous!

When it was rumored that Zhang Yan entered the palace, he briefly mentioned the matter in the palace and inadvertently saved Wang Li's life!

After going to the palace, without waiting for Zhu Youzhen and Wang Li to speak, Zhu Guobi took the lead:

"Lord Zhang, when the prince went to Zhejiang to prepare for the construction of the port, did he borrow 100,000 taels of silver from you?"

"That's right! Indeed! And, there are IOUs as proof! ”

Zhang Yandeng took out the IOU, Wang Chengen presented it to Zhu Youzhen, and all the ministers were stunned!

Especially Hou Sui and Zhu Guobi!

Twenty days ago, when Wang Li was still in Fujian, Liu Tingyuan and Zhu Guobi set their eyes on him!

If nothing else, just grab his handle and avenge Liu Tingyuan's younger brother!

However, Wang Ergou before entering the palace was a blank slate!

After that, he did a clean job of some petty corruption!

The large amount of corruption in Zhejiang and Fujian ports has also been done by the West Factory without a trace, and there is Cui Chengxiu to help "wipe his ass"!

Liu and Zhu had no idea where to start, so they followed them all the way to Nanjing.

In the hook column between the Teaching Workshop Division and the Qinhuai River, when Wang Li looked up the names of seven people, the movement was a bit big!

Liu and Zhu finally got the opportunity!

Okay, you're a king and a dog!

I can wipe my ass clean, but I still have weaknesses!

He loves to listen to music!

Even though he is a eunuch, he still likes women!

So, the two bought a Le Ji at a high price, and it took some effort to package her as the top brand of Yaxiangju "Kou Baimen"!

Coincidentally, Wang Li and Wei Zhongxian happened to go to Yaxiangju!

Moreover, the merry genius of the Hanlin Academy, Liu Ruozai, the champion of the new department, came to a god assist!

Liu and Zhu found out that Wang Li had more than 90,000 taels of silver without any effort!

All the officials in the court and the central government know that if a third-rank admiral only relies on his own money, even if he works until he is eighty years old, even if he does not eat or drink, he will not be able to save 90,000 taels of silver!

As a result, Wang Li's corruption behavior was basically confirmed!

If he can't tell the legal source of this huge amount of money, he will only be dead!

In the face of the siege of the ministers, even if Zhu Youzhen wants to protect him, I am afraid there is nothing he can do!

Bring down a Xichang admiral, and then overthrow the remaining Wei Zhongxian, and the Donglin Party will be able to see the light of day again!

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yandeng was killed halfway!

This guy actually took out an IOU!

Moreover, the handwriting and fingerprints on the IOU are indeed from Wang Ergou!

"That's right! It's Wang Ergou's IOU! Zhu Youzhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he still had some doubts:

"Princess, why did you borrow money from Master Zhang?

100,000 taels of silver, not a small amount!

Master Zhang, where did you get the 100,000 taels of silver to lend to the prince? ”

Zhu Youzhen asked, Wang Li breathed a long sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "Long live Lord, it takes a lot of money to build a port!"

But, you only gave 30,000 taels!

The little slave knew that the household had no money, and he understood the difficulties of the Long Live Lord, although the money was not enough, he did not dare to ask for it again. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Li looked around at the ministers in the hall and smiled: "All of you adults know that preparing for the construction of the port is a major event for the benefit of the country and the people, and the little slave does not dare to live up to the trust of the Long Live Lord!"

In desperation, I had to find Zhang Yandeng, the governor of Zhejiang! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! That's it! Zhang Yandeng was afraid that Wang Li would say something wrong, so he hurriedly interrupted him:

"Your Majesty, in order to complete the port as soon as possible, the lower officials took out the 20,000 taels of silver accumulated by their ancestors, and then called on the officials and people of Zhejiang to donate enthusiastically, and then made up 100,000 taels of silver!

However, the whole territory of Zhejiang has just been flooded, and the people have no harvest! This money is related to the livelihood of millions of people!

In order to be safe, the lower official insisted that the factory should write an IOU for fairness! ”

Wang Lisecond understood Zhang Yandeng's words, and hurriedly echoed: "Long live Lord, it's true!"

This money is related to the livelihood of the people in Zhejiang, and the little slave didn't use a copper plate indiscriminately!

To this day, Haining and Pinghai No. 2 Port are in charge of salaries, and officials are still working in tents!

Officials and ordinary people at all levels in the southeast coast can all testify to this!

When the little slave received the edict from the Lord of Long Live and returned from Fujian, he made a special detour to Zhejiang, wanting to return the silver to the people of Zhejiang, but he did not meet Master Zhang.

Therefore, the silver ticket of 100,000 taels is still on the slave, and the IOU has not been redeemed so far! ”

Speaking of this, the temple was silent.

Wang Li's words are almost invulnerable!

It is a fact that the two overseers are still working in tents today!

Cao Huachun had already reported this matter to Zhu Youzhen!

However, Zhu Guobi still did not give up, and continued to ask: "Princess, you are so incorruptible, why did you give the bustard a deposit of 2,000 taels of silver?"

You also said that you will come to Yaxiangju today!

You also said that if you can't see Kou Ji, you will destroy the ten tribes of the old bustard!

Since this money is going to be returned to Master Zhang, where did you get the money to help Kou Ji redeem herself?

This is a bit unreasonable, right? ”

The voice fell, and the ministers unanimously agreed.

Wang Li was not in a hurry, and casually quibbled: "Long live the lord, the little slave really likes to listen to music, and he really likes the music of Yaxiangju!"

However, the little slave said that he would help her redeem herself, and those words in Yaxiangju, were just fighting with Lord Liu Ruozai. ”

"Vindictive? Really? Zhu Guobi still refused to give up, and sneered: "Little Princess, you are a third-grade admiral, and you have a monthly salary of thirty-five stones;

You have been a governor for less than a year, where did you get the two thousand taels of silver? ”

"Enough!"

Zhu Youzhen raised his voice and stood up: "The silver that Empress Yi'an and Empress Yi'an rewarded to the prince is more than two thousand taels!"

This matter is over!

At present, the most important thing is to discuss the popular uprising in Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces!

I don't know, what are your good plans? ”
