Chapter 51: The Book of Money
Early the next morning.
Liu Xu breathed and breathed, turned the true yuan, and ran Zhoutian.
The human king Yubi is in his body, and the accumulation is getting deeper and deeper, and every morning, there will be dozens of pure white qi entering the body, and Liu Xu has benefited a lot.
But as a martial king, it is not ordinary to want to go further.
Even in cultivation, Liu Xu's talent is extraordinary, but it is definitely not a temporary effect.
On the contrary, after King Wu, the true yuan is vast, and every step forward will be a transformation.
Liu Xu knows better that water can only be done, and everything should not be impatient.
Therefore, after two weeks of circulation, he got up and got out of bed, lifted Mo Feng, and practiced his sword outside the room.
When the body was hot and the sword intent was hearty, Liu Xu put away Mo Feng.
After eating some food, it was very early in the morning, and he set out for the torture hall.
The time to consume a stick of incense has come.
But what Liu Xu didn't expect was that Ye Yu, Guan Han, Qiu Feng, and even Mo Yu had already arrived.
Obviously, they are not optimistic.
Liu Xu entered the hall and said to Ye Yu: "Are they all complete?"
"Oh, it's done!"
Liu Xu smiled.
At this time, Qiu Feng approached, took out a scroll from his arms, and said, "Boss, this is what you asked for yesterday, I got it for you!"
Liu Xu took it, smiled even more, turned around and said, "Let's do things separately!"
Ye Yu and the four of them hugged their fists and retreated.
An hour or so, the Son of Heaven's order was transmitted to the Liling Division as scheduled.
Liu Xu got up, held Mo Feng, wore an envoy's robe, and answered the call with a royal horse.
Ye Yu took the copywriting, and the royal horse followed.
Drive!
The horse's hooves are in a hurry, rushing all the way, and they are extremely fast.
After a long time, he came to the Xuanhe Gate of Dongcheng.
Turning over and falling off the horse, following the instructor and stepping in, all the passes are unimpeded.
Along the central road, cross the gate, go all the way to the west, and go straight to the Jinluan Palace.
The palace is huge, with marble paving, touching the eye and extending the steps.
Liu Xu stepped on the stone steps, step by step, without delay.
On both sides of the stone steps are the forbidden troops guarding it, and when they see that it is the former envoy passing by, they all straighten their chests and stomachs, and have the right to salute.
After a short time, the report is stopped, and the last step is reached.
Liu Xu's black robe was unfurled, and he walked into Jinluan.
Jinluan Palace, golden splendor, Nanmu door Kai is extremely high, Liu Xu high step.
The hundred officials parted ways, and Liu Xu walked straight to the front position.
When he arrived, Liu Xu clasped his fists and saluted, his voice was sonorous, "Chen Mei Qinghan, I have seen the Ming Emperor, long live the Ming Emperor, long live the Ming Emperor!"
"Mei Aiqing got up and replied!" Yang Xu said on the high golden chair.
"Emperor Xie Ming!" Liu Xu stood up and bowed.
At this time, Yang Xu asked, "Do you know why I recruited you today?"
"Minister, I don't know!" Liu Xu clenched his fists.
"Oh, Wang Aiqing, then you come close and tell him!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Wang was smeared with fat oil, and his face was playful, trembling.
Before he got close, he knelt on the ground with a puff, and immediately kowtowed: "Your Majesty! Yesterday, it was him, with more than 200 people, who pried open the treasury under the minister's jurisdiction and moved the official silver privately. ”
"Mei Qing, do you have anything to say?"
"Minister, there is nothing to say!" Liu Xu hugged his fists.
Hey?...
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, including Wang Wang.
Why didn't he even think that Liu Xu would not defend himself?
But the next moment, Liu Xu said again: "The minister hasn't done it!"
What the?
Haven't done it yet?
The officials of the court became more and more shocked.
At this time, Zheng Quan, the supervisor of the Jade Mansion, came out of the queue and scolded: "Mei Qinghan, this is not the rivers and lakes! Deceiving the saint, in the court, is a big crime to kill the head." ”
"Yes, Mei Qing, it's not too late to confess!" Yang Xu said.
But Liu Xu said: "The minister is not guilty, he will not admit it!"
"Okay, you Mei Qinghan, you still dare to deceive in front of Your Majesty! What you did yesterday, more than 30 pairs of eyes of my silver treasury guards saw it!" Wang Wang said.
"What if you see it?" Liu Xu asked rhetorically in a bad tone.
"Your Majesty! You see that this son confesses, and he dares to be so arrogant! Don't be spared!" Wang Wang knelt and kowtowed, only asking for a heavy punishment.
Baiguan was also extremely puzzled by Liu Xu's behavior.
But the next moment, Liu Xu clenched his fists and asked: "What is confession? What is prying open the silver treasury and carrying the official silver? I just told Chief Wang yesterday where the silver in the treasury is!"
When this sentence came out, the court officials seemed to be tired of hearing this.
"Your Majesty! He is using strong words! The minister not only has physical evidence, but also human evidence!"
"Okay, then you will bring human and physical evidence into the hall!" Yang Xu said.
"Bring human and physical evidence into the temple!" followed by the voice, and the father-in-law in front of the palace said loudly.
A moment later, two guards entered the temple gate.
The two of them worked together and entered the hall with a large bronze lock.
Come near, knock on the ground, and shout long live.
Yang Xu said, "Excuse me!"
The two knelt on the ground and pointed directly at Liu Xu and said, "Yesterday it was him, with more than 200 people, who pried our silver vault." The big lock was smashed for us, and boxes of silver were moved out. ”
"Mei Qinghan, what else do you have to say?" Yang Xu asked.
"Minister, naturally there is something to say! Because the minister also brought someone over today. ”
Oh?
When the officials heard this, they became more and more confused. Pried into the treasury, and there are witnesses, isn't it ridiculous?
"That being the case, the heirloom certificate goes to the temple!" Yang Xu said.
"Your Majesty!" Liu Xu clenched his fists.
Not long after, Ye Yu entered the hall.
But he didn't come in alone, but held a half-human-tall copywriter.
Putting down the white cloth, Ye Yu knelt down and said: "Ye Yu, a member of the Ministry of Punishment, has seen Emperor Ming, long live Emperor Ming, long live Long live Ming Emperor!"
Ye Qing was flat. ”
Ye Yu got up, uncovered the brocade cloth, and scattered the copywriting all over the ground.
Liu Xu took a step closer, and the two stood together.
When the officials of the dynasty became more and more unclear.
Until the next moment, Liu Xu's face was cold, he knelt on the ground, and said in a sonorous voice: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to tell me why the minister took two hundred soldiers to the silver treasury to carry the official silver." ”
Ye Yu's face changed, he didn't make a sound, and knelt down with him.
"Okay, you Mei Qinghan! You admit it!" Wang Wang shouted.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you today!" Yang Xu Jinlong waved his sleeves and spoke.
"These words, but they have to start from the envoy of the Ministry of Punishment and Punishment.
On the day of his appointment, there were 167 people registered in the Command Division, but less than 52 were in office. The rest, all the way up to the capital and the government soldiers, all drank in taverns, prostituted in brothels, and gambled in gambling halls during their tenure. As a result, there were 17 cases of piling up and 20 disputes. There is no one patrolling the streets, and there is no solution to the contradiction of law and order. The criminal department exists in name only, and the people have nowhere to redress their grievances.
But since today, the ministers have been in the army for 20 orders and 7 days, and the new government soldiers, fast arrests, and capital heads, 205 people, have been training hard day and night, and they will not stop sooner or later.
In the past 27 days, the minister's soldiers and ministers have cracked 48 murder cases, arrested 34 criminals, and mediated 215 conflicts and disputes. There were 326 incidents of maintaining public order, and more than 500 large and small cases were handled, all of which were recorded in the registers and sealed letters, all of which were in front of Your Majesty's eyes!"
When he said this, the officials were surprised, and only then did they understand that the copywriting on the ground was actually Liu Xu's actions in January.
But the next moment, Liu Xu said again: "The Daming Criminal Department has three divisions, the Metropolitan Trial Division, the Law Division, and the Subordinate Order Division. The minister wants to ask, both His Majesty is an official, and the other two divisions can all receive Yulu, why can't the minister be alone!
Even ordered the soldiers of Lord Situ to not patrol a street, not to place a case, more than 50 people to guard the criminal department, and they were in hand. However, the soldiers under the ministers trained day and night, patrolled morning and evening, arrested criminals, and licked blood at the tip of the knife.
Your Majesty thinks that the minister should not tell the king where is the official money of the treasury?"
After this sentence, Liu Xu looked up at Yang Xu and did not shy away.
At this time, on the high platform dragon chair, the phoenix-eyed man who was sitting in danger had a cold face.
But the next moment, Liu Xu continued: "The day before yesterday, the evil bandits were arrested, and the two subordinates were killed soon. The minister reported to Situ, and Lord Jing did not pay a single amount of sympathy on the grounds that the official bank was insufficient. The ministers reported to the treasury, and the three directors were the same.
The two arrests were about to die, but because of the poverty of the family, they could not sell the coffin for burial!
The minister wanted to ask His Majesty, but His Majesty felt that the minister should not take his soldiers and the families of the government soldiers to the treasury of the Criminal Department and tell the head of the third division where is the official silver of the treasury?"
When this passage came out, the man in the dragon robe was completely angry.
At the same moment, turning Tie Qing's face, Yang Xu scolded: "What he said is true?"
This question made Wang Wang, who was frightened, tremble suddenly.
The former's legs trembled, he couldn't help but stand still, and knelt down with a bang: "Your Majesty, you are wronged!"
"Wronged! Then you say, where is the wrong?" Yang Xu became more and more angry.
"Your Majesty! The minister was confused for a while, Your Majesty forgives you!" Wang Wang knocked on the ground with his head, crying and begging for forgiveness.
"Hmph, drag it out, cut it down!" Yang Xu said straight.
As soon as these words came out, Wang Wangden collapsed on the ground.
At this time, my heart can be described as extremely frightened.
If he knew that Liu Xu was the envoy of the criminal department of the Ming Emperor, in charge of the criminal law and national law, and he deliberately favored him, he should not provoke him.
Now Wang Wang regrets it!
The emperor's order was given, and the guards with swords came as ordered, and they were to drag the people away.
But at this time, the great priest Kou Tang Rui came out of the ranks.
"I hope Your Majesty will calm his anger, although this Wang Wang has not paid his remuneration in time, he will not be guilty of death!" Tang Rui bowed and said.
The Imperial Envoy of the Fifth Department also took a step forward and said, "The minister thinks that what the chief priest said is reasonable!"
Yang Xu's face changed at this time, and it was impossible for him to really cut people down.
Therefore, the next moment, he ordered: "Put the people in prison, submit them to Dali Temple, and be tried by the three halls!"
"Retreat!" said the eunuch behind him, in a long, shrill voice.
"Long live the Ming Emperor, long live, long live!"
All the way out of the palace, Ye Yu's face became happy, and he couldn't help but say, "Boss, you have already thought of a strategy?"
"Otherwise?" Liu Xu asked rhetorically.
Ye Yu smiled and said, "But boss, if it weren't for Emperor Ming's favor for you, we would be in trouble." ”
"If he doesn't show his attitude when he does things for him, won't I, the envoy of the Criminal Department, be useless?"
"That's right, but this time, we're really against the archmaster. ”
Liu Xu also exhaled to himself, looked up at the sky, and saw that the sky was overcast, and the rain and fog were gradually rising.
How could he not know that in this cloudy and stormy Ming Dynasty, being an official is the most difficult?
And what is even more difficult is to be a good official with no conscience!
