Chapter 34 The choice is hard to decide

The court official read the king's order, and then put the decree together and smiled at Da Kui: "Lord Shangshu, take the order."

Zhang Dakui didn't dare to be disobedient, and immediately raised his hands above his head to take the paper king's order.

Da Kui was very anxious in his heart, although it was said that the Jiangnan political envoy was in charge of the criminal department, but in this way, there was bound to be a catastrophe in the Jiangnan officialdom, and the heads of nearly 10,000 people fell to the ground, and Da Kui was the head of the criminal department, so this blood debt would be recorded on Da Kui's head.

There is a saying: God has the virtue of a good life; Da Kui was born in the Taoist 'door' and walked back and forth in the officialdom in the spirit of helping the world; although there were many corrupt officials and gangsters who died at the hands of Da Kui, those were all heinous criminals.

Da Kui stood up in a distraction, and the court officer smiled at Da Kui and said, "King Wu is afraid that Lord Zhang will not be able to support him alone, so he specially selected 100 'fine' lieutenants in the army." Two thousand soldiers are for the drive, Lord Zhang, don't let King Wu down."

Da Kui just smiled politely and said, "Zhang Dakui will go to the soup and fight the fire." The court official gave a salute to Da Kui, and then turned around and went out of the 'door'. Da Kui kept sending the court official out of the 'door'.

"See Shangshu-sama." Hundreds of military attachés saluted in unison.Da Kui couldn't help but have a wry smile on the corner of his mouth.Although he was unwilling.But Da Kui still had to do his duty.The king's order was difficult to disobey.The monarch's authority was difficult to offend.Da Kui understood the meaning of these captains.If you come, you should be safe.

First of all, Da Kui came to a purge according to the official of the corresponding Tianfu according to the name on the roster.

Overnight, Ying Tianfu made a fuss about 'chickens' and dogs, and the soldiers and horses of the Criminal Department seized all the registered officials one by one with lightning speed, and raided their homes overnight. The heads of officials were not stupid. Corrupt officials also knew that the tree was a big trick. Da Kui captured more than 150 Yingtian officials in one night, and the total amount of gold and silver treasures that could be copied from the homes of these officials was only 50,000 taels.

Da Kui arranged for a secret agent in the morning, not so much because Da Kui arranged it, but because it was instructed by King Wu.

The Criminal Department. Upside down is the Ministry of Punishment, to put it bluntly, it is not to recruit the punishment, so it is referred to as the Criminal Department. Da Kui thinks so.

Coercion, coaxing, and serving the heavy punishment; the criminal laws that have been counted throughout the ages have appeared one by one; the truth has gradually surfaced; and the means used by corrupt officials to accumulate wealth can really be described as "fancy."

The quartermaster who is responsible for collecting taxes and false accounts, the prisoners who are responsible for receiving money for the purchase of life, and the quartermaster who is in charge of military rations and grass deduct food and salaries.......

There are dozens of officials who have entered Beijing to drive with them, and these officials have been charged with buying and selling official positions, accepting bribes, covering prostitution, harboring gambling, enclosing land for 'personal gain,' and so on.

Da Kui has been sitting in the lobby of the criminal department, constantly listening to the reports of his subordinates, but there is a paper sign on the table in front of him, on which more than ten names are recorded.

Da Kui is a little undecided, and once these people are brought to justice, they will inevitably offend the powerful.' It's not good, King Wu blames him, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat, I'm going to walk around, Da Kui understands in his heart, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, it's pure nonsense.

Even if King Wu's 'chest' is like the sea, but when the relatives of the courtiers dare to move, just take out an allusion.When Da Kui was in Quanzhou, he knew that the Xiangquanfang was Hu Weiyong's property, but he didn't do it.How can the mystery of this be humane for outsiders.The sky was already bright outside.Da Kui's heart was much darker.Several subordinates brought from Lin'an had gone to rest.And Da Kui was still sitting alone in the lobby looking at the list in front of him.

He had promised Master Lingzhi that he would be an official for the people, but now looking at the names of more than a dozen people on this list, Da Kui was actually unable to make a decision, and once he started to bring these people to justice, he would inevitably cause a lot of trouble to himself. Now that Da Kui has Huang Ying, and has an unborn child, he naturally has scruples in his heart.

Fang Jiutian is powerful.Da Kui has seen it.If he still acts like a solid self.Then there will definitely be a second and third Fang Jiutian.Although Da Kui is a martial artist, he is a martial artist, but he doesn't dare to say that he is invincible in the world.

Just as Da Kui was about to get up and go to the cell in the backyard of the Criminal Department to see how the interrogation was going.' Outside the door, there was a burst of hearty laughter.Da Kui looked at it.The person who came was Tang He.And Tang He was followed by Yang Xiaohu.

Da Kui took the list into his arms, and immediately walked out of the public case to meet him.

"Congratulations to Brother Da Kui on his promotion to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs.Hahaha" Tang He's first words when they met were so uninhibited.Da Kui couldn't help but feel hot on his face.He was now like the 'chicken' duck roasted on the fire.Brother Tang actually made fun of himself like this.

"The child has seen his father." Yang Xiaohu walked over and knelt on his knees, and kowtowed to Da Kui respectfully.

"Hurry up." Da Kui stretched out his hand to help Yang Xiaohu then stood up.

Da Kui led the soup and went to the back hall to sit down.

"Brother is high, but why are you so sad?" Tang He asked first.

Da Kui didn't hide it, and immediately took out the list from his bosom and said, "Brother Tang, please take a look."

Tang He took the list, just glanced at it and returned it to Da Kui, but without saying a word, he looked at a plaque on the wall in the hall.

There are four big characters written on the plaque: there is no 'selfishness' on the iron face.

Tang He smiled and asked: "Brother, do you know that this iron mask has no 'selfish' allusions." Da Kui shook his head.

Tang He then said: "During the Jiayou period of the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a good official, this person's surname was Bao, the name of Zhengzi, Xiren, Luzhou, and the 'Fei' (now Anhui) people.

He is an upright official, unyielding to the powerful, and advocates strict military training with the outside world.' Elite selection of generals, recruitment of volunteers, extensive storage of grain, to resist foreign insults, internal suppression of eunuch privileges, selection of virtuous and handsome, wide range of words, rectification of the rule of officials, light punishment of meager endowments, rest with the people, strict law enforcement, six relatives do not recognize, dare to destroy the powerful, redress the people's grievances.

The people are grateful that he loves the people like a son, and praises him as Bao Qingtian, who is not afraid of power, but is jealous of all officials. Because his complexion is too dark, he is called Bao Heizi in private.

Da Kui listened to Tang He and said this.Where would he not understand what Tang He and Big Brother meant.He also knew this.But it was not the crux of Da Kui's heart.

After all, Tang He is old and sophisticated, and when he saw the look on Da Kui's face, he couldn't help but smile and said: "For the people's livelihood, why don't you forget this sentence?" Tang He continued: "Where is the Zhang Dakui that Tang knew before?

Da Kui immediately got up, clasped his fists towards Tang He and said, "Brother Tang, I ........"

Tang He couldn't help laughing, and his eyes were already full of tears.

Tang He stood up and strode out. Da Kui kept to the 'door'. Seeing Tang He walking away, he heard Tang He groan in a long voice: "The loyal straight man has a real face, and the red blood comforts his life."

Not only Tang He was gone, but Yang Xiaohu also went, leaving Da Kui standing in front of the 'door' in a daze.......

There are more and more dirty silver and stolen goods in the evidence room of the criminal department.Da Kui's heart is getting heavier and heavier.It's hard to make a decision.But no one can help him.Da Kui is a little afraid.He is afraid of losing his happy home.Losing everything he has.

All the names on the roster are all checked by secret agents, and since there are many names listed on the list, they are verified one by one, and the meaning of King Wu Dakui is also clear, but there is one thing that Dakui can predict.

The sons and daughters of other big officials are married, and the old friends are all over the place, and Da Kui is still alone to this day. He always acts with an iron face and no 'selfishness'. He has to kill several people wherever he goes. In this way, Da Kui is already an outlier in the eyes of the hundred officials in Jiangnan. Perhaps King Wu will 'hand' over the investigation and handling of the case of the hundred officials in Jiangnan who are greedy for ink and dirty silver to Da Kui to handle it, which is for the sake of Da Kui's fairness in handling the case.

Da Kui felt physically and mentally exhausted, and he was already drowsy and 'wanted to sleep' when he sat in the lobby. At this moment, several lieutenants under his command entered the lobby. Wu Haolong came to the front of the hall and bowed his hand first: "Your Excellency, a total of 165 criminals on the list of your 'handover' have been seized, and a total of 250,000 taels of dirty silver and stolen goods have been seized.

Da Kui forcibly beat the 'essence' and said: "Send people to track down the whereabouts of the dirty silver. Wu Haolong gave up his hand and turned around and walked out of the lobby.

Another lieutenant said, "My lord, there are people outside the 'gate' who ask to see me."

Da Kui frowned and waved his hand, "I don't see anything." As he spoke, he reached out and 'rubbed' his forehead.

Ying Tianfu is now in a state of upside down, and there are always people who come to the 'door' to plead. Da Kui is already very annoying.

The lieutenant said, "That subordinate is here to deliver a letter, saying that it is from the family of Liu Ji and Lord Liu in the imperial history."

"What." When Da Kui heard this, he sat up smartly, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart. Could it be that Liu Ji and Liu Bowen were also involved? At that moment, Da Kui ordered: "Call him in." The lieutenant took the order and went.
