The four courtyards of Fan Mansion thought that the horizontal and vertical were all one death, so they fought even harder, but their skills were not as good as others, and soon two of them were killed by the plainclothes of the Jinyi guard, and two wanted to escape from the road, but it was too late, and the two Jinyi guards also hurt the killer, and as a result, the lives of the two nursing homes could no longer run rampant in the street market arrogantly.

The two brocade guards who were chasing the carriage quickly caught up, stopped the carriage, and killed all the two carers. Then he cried out, "Come down and see who you are." The lady had no choice but to get out of the car, Jin Gui and the two children also got out of the car, and the little boy said: "You let us go quickly, my father is a secretary of the ministry, otherwise your official will kill your head." The lady said: "Qing'er must not talk nonsense." After speaking, he said to Jinyiwei: "Adult, this kid is talking nonsense." ”

The brocade guard said: "Madam, this kid didn't talk nonsense at all, his father is indeed a secretary of the ministry, he can dismiss whoever he wants, unless he has enough money, but now it's different, someone wants to dismiss his official." Another brocade guard said: "Brother, what nonsense are you talking about her, hurry up and take it back to get off work and rest." The brocade guard said: "My brother has said so, madam, please get in the car!"

The lady pulled the little boy and said, "Qing'er, let's get in the car." After saying that, several people got into the car, and the two Jinyiwei drove a carriage towards the Jinyiwei camp.

The carriage entered the camp of the Jinyi guards, and someone came to escort Mrs. Fan and the children to the cell, and the two Jinyi guards sent the gold, silver, jewelry, and silk to the temporary stolen goods warehouse, and the gold, silver, jewelry, and silk were registered one by one. The two brocade guards had to go back to rest.

At this time, two more wagons were drawn to the door of the storehouse, carrying gold, silver, and jewelry. It's the monsoon. Bao Lei and the two brocade guards sent it, and the brocade guard from before said: "Brother Ji, you have also harvested, which adult's family is it." Ji Feng said: "It belongs to Dou Baoqing, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry." The previous brocade guard said: "The official department Shangshu Fan Tongzhang's family also acted, and we caught it, and it was just delivered." Ji Feng said: "Lord Zhang's calculation is really accurate, they really took action." The brocade guard from before said: "That's right, Master Zhang is not an ordinary person. You and I can't catch up, Brother Ji, you guys are busy! We're going back to rest. ”

Ji Feng said: "Brother, you go first! After saying that, he moved the gold, silver and jewelry on the car to the warehouse, and the warehouse steward was busy registering and making books.

The next day, the slaves of Fan's house waited until dawn at the Good Luck Inn in the south of the city and didn't see his wife coming, so he hurried back to the house, and when he returned to Fan's house, he went to find Fan Tongzhang, who was sitting in the living room. The house slave saw Fan Tongzhang and said, "Master, I waited all night at the Good Luck Inn in the south of the city. I didn't see Madame or Miss Childe until dawn. When Fan Tongzhang heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "What are you talking about, you didn't see your wife." The house slave said, "Yes." So I'm in a hurry to come back and report it. ”

Fan Tongzhang patted his head and said with a crying voice: "It's bad, it's bad, something must have happened to Mrs., and it may have fallen into the hands of Jinyiwei." The house slave said, "What can I do?" Fan Tongzhang said: "You take a few more people out to inquire about it, see if it was Jinyiwei who did it, and then make a plan." The slave answered and walked out of the living room.

After this night, the two Shangshu families wanted to intercept all the property and soon spread it all over the capital, but the official did not give a response, that is, those corrupt officials no longer dared to act rashly, so they had to huddle at home and wait and see.

Soon three days passed, and the emperor issued an edict to mourn the emperor, and the Ministry of Rites prepared for the funeral of the emperor on August 20. As soon as the edict was issued, it was sent to the whole country with 800 urgent messengers, whether it was the people or the officials, they all bought white cloth to bring filial piety to the emperor when they got the news, if there was no white cloth with filial piety, if the government knew about it, it would be a great disaster.

August 20 is soon coming, the first emperor out of the funeral, the honor guard is very large, the funeral sails fluttering, the horn sounds, out of the noon gate through the end gate, from the Chengtian Gate out of the imperial city to the street, the mighty funeral procession towards the north mountain. Lingyu also escorted away with the emperor.

After the funeral of the first emperor, the emperor summoned Lingyu and the cabinet to the imperial study to discuss the rectification of the rule of officials and arrest the corrupt officials. When the emperor saw that everyone had arrived, he ordered everyone to sit down, and waited for everyone to sit down before he spoke: "Everyone, Aiqing, tell me how to govern this official." Yang Jingkang, the left governor of the Inspectorate, said: "From the perspective of Weichen, this time it will be completely cured, and all corrupt officials who are involved in Li Ge will be punished." Hong Xuefu, the first assistant of the cabinet, said: "It's not proper, this is too widely implicated, and the government may lose so many officials at once, and there may be chaos." ”

The emperor said: "Hong Aiqing is reasonable, there are too many vacancies in the official mansion, and there will be chaos. Liu Quanli, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "If this doesn't work, arrest a few big corrupt officials for the reason of banning." Deng Tinggui, a scholar of Wenhuadian University, said: "It is also a little inappropriate to look at this with Weichen, although a few big corrupt officials are arrested, and there are many who are not punished, not only the honest officials will recover, but the people will also feel cold, and the people will think, what is the use of knocking down a Li Ge Lao, and it is the officials below who really hurt the people." ”

The emperor said: "This is not good, that is not good, is it possible that there is no rule of law in my Ming Dynasty." Several cabinet ministers Qi Shili said: "The emperor is angry, and the ministers will discuss countermeasures." The emperor said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I was in a hurry just now, and I didn't mean to blame you." Several cabinet ministers said in unison: "The emperor is sage, thank the emperor for your understanding." ”

When the emperor saw Lingyu sitting without saying a word, he asked, "Zhang Aiqing, tell me how to treat it." Lingyu said: "Just now, Weichen listened to what you said, and it really makes sense. The emperor said: "Then I really have no rule of law." Lingyu said: "That's not it." The emperor was overjoyed when he heard this: "Zhang Aiqing, you must have thought of a good way, come and listen to it." ”

Lingyu said: "Okay, Your Majesty, my lords, I, Zhang Lingyu, have never been an official, just a prodigal son of the rivers and lakes, but I have also read some books, and I am also young and ignorant, so I will say a method for your reference only." Hong Xuefu said: "Master Zhang, don't be polite, if you are young and ignorant, then we are all old and confused, we know that you have the talent of the world, this is called wisdom is not old, wisdom is not a hundred years old, you can say it quickly!"

Lingyu said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks like this, and connects some major corrupt officials with Li Ge Lao according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, so as to deter the government and the opposition, and then the emperor will issue another edict called the order of repentance, to the effect that the emperor pities everyone before being threatened by Li Ge Lao to do things that are corrupt and pervert the law, as long as everyone can sincerely repent of his mistakes, let him go, and the edict will be handed over to the treasury from the day of issuance, and the stolen money and goods obtained by corruption and perversion of the law will be handed over to the treasury from the same time, and those who do not pay after the expiration date will be severely punished. In this way, they will withdraw the stolen money, which will enrich the treasury and give hope to the people. ”

Hong Xuefu said: "Lord Zhang, what if they don't hand over the silver taels, or take out a little." Lingyu said: "Well, I have my own way to make them regret it." (To be continued......)
