Chapter 41: Wei Zaode's Family

When Liu Hongjian and Wang Chengen arrived at the Qianqing Palace, the imperial city was still under martial law, and the main hall was surrounded by guards.

After some politeness, Chongzhen went straight to the point and asked how to deal with the current situation, now the people in the government and the opposition are panicking, and the situation is comparable to the siege of the army, or even more so.

Zheng Sanjun, the secretary of the ministry, suggested that suitable personnel should be arranged for important positions in Beijing first, so that no one would be left to deal with the major affairs of the imperial court, while the secretary of the household department suggested that he should first find a way to stabilize the morale of the army.

There are also people in the Beijing camp who have been arrested for corruption, and if it weren't for Wang Chengen and Li Huaizhong pressing with prestige, the current situation would only be worse.

Meng Zhaoxiang of the Criminal Department thought that the important criminals should be interrogated first, and all the ministers in the prison of the Criminal Department were justified in thinking that they were not guilty, and asked to meet the emperor, who had been an official for many years, and he was also worried that some ministers would be wronged, which was too offensive.

Liu Hong gradually looked at Chongzhen and found that Chongzhen was also looking at him, Chongzhen now trusted the young man in front of him very much, all the ministers deceived him and betrayed him, only the low-born courtier in front of him was ordered to be in danger and did not disappoint him.

In the final analysis, all the problems are still a matter of money, what is used to appease Jingying? Silver! Giving money to these bitter soldiers, on the one hand, is a rebellion with an uncertain future, and on the other hand, whether it is to give money to officials or orthodox emperors, who will do such a thankless job?

As for the ministers who survived last night, Liu Hong gradually persuaded them not to worry, as long as they have soldiers in their hands, some civil servants can still turn the sky? Didn't a certain grandfather in later generations say that power comes out of the barrel of a gun!

Those who are clear are self-purifying, do not do bad things, and are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, and now at this time, most of them are unclean fish that have slipped through the net, and they will catch it first!

Since it's a matter of money, then it's easy to do, aren't those ministers in the prison crying out for injustice? Then go and check their family background first? If it's really a breeze on both sleeves and a poor person, then it's better to re-try it.

Now at this stall, I have time to try the cases one by one!

Anyway, Liu Honggradually doesn't believe in the nonsense of those old men, let what you say fall wildly, Lao Tzu only talks about things with silver, and Lao Tzu doesn't believe that these birdmen have no money at home!

Speaking of this, Zheng Sanjun and Ni Yuanlu were also dumbfounded, dare to love that this kid in front of him is treating those ministers as money bags? Money, money, money, why is this kid's eyes full of money? What an insult to the teachings of the saints!

Meng Zhaoxiang is also noncommittal to Liu Hongji's words, Liu Hongji's development can be said to have been created by him, and now he can't see through the kid in front of him.

Emperor Chongzhen saw that the other three were silent, and understood that it was time for him to give an order. Anyway, this infamy is backstabbed, as long as you can keep the foundation of your ancestors, face? Fuck it!

"An Guobo, I have ordered you to be the governor of Gyeonggi (Ji), in charge of all the soldiers and horses in Gyeonggi, and fully responsible for the follow-up affairs of the prisoners, and I am responsible for anything that happens!"

The supervisor was the most powerful official in the Ming Dynasty except for the emperor, this position was not an official position in the Ming Dynasty, it was the emperor's greatest trust in his courtiers, which meant that he would let go and do it, and I would take care of you if something happened.

The last time Chongzhen gave this official position was Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, but he died.

For the fragrant dumplings given by Chongzhen, Liu Hongjian was not as excited as expected, for him, this is just a nice name, and you don't give money for processing, and you have to do this errand that was abused by literati, it really makes sense, life is hard!

"Wechen thanks the emperor for his grace, but Wechen has something to say first, finish this vote, oh no, when this matter passes, please ask the emperor to take back this official, Wechen is lazy, indifferent to fame and fortune, and has no big ambitions, just want to accompany his wife at home!"

The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit!

However, Liu Hongjian is like an outlier in this court, and he really doesn't want to get involved with these scholars, and he fights with these people, so it is better to let him lead the troops to a decisive battle with the wild boar skin for 300 rounds, suddenly.

Damn it! Again? Is it indifferent to fame and fortune again? Zheng Sanjun skimmed his beard and looked at Ni Yuanlu opposite, let's deceive the ghost!

But Chongzhen eats this set, from the very beginning, when the young man in front of him saved Daming from fire and water twice, he had refused his reward, and now, he doesn't want to put such an important official position, he is not greedy for merit, and he does not love power.

Such a courtier simply makes Chongzhen like it very much, he is really a good courtier who is indifferent to fame and fortune!

As for whether you will be an official in the future, it's not up to me to decide? Chongzhen finally had a smile on his face, and promised that it would be no problem, let him deal with the mess outside immediately, quickly!

Liu Honggradually looked at Chongzhen as if he had hit the air bag with a fist, and his heart was a little depressed, but in order not to be criticized, the matter of raiding the house still asked the household department to send officials to supervise, although Chongzhen didn't care much, but he still met Liu Hongji's request that it didn't seem to be a requirement.

Coming out of the imperial city, Liu Hong gradually rushed directly to the Jinyi Guards to command the yamen, and all the Jinyi guards were divided into several groups, led by the hundred household officials assigned by Liang Yang, and sent to the mansions of various criminal ministers.

All the idlers of the mansion had been dismissed or imprisoned, and the raid was going well, with almost all the ministers on the list having their homes copied out of their homes far more than their positions.

And the so-called important ministers above the third grade, almost every home has found hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, not counting the various precious gold and silver jewelry, jade, jade, and so on copied out of the home.

But the only accident was Wei Zaode, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Liu Hong gradually knew that this guy was a huge greed, so he went to the Wei family to preside over the house-raiding work, but after rummaging through all the houses, he only found more than 1,000 taels of silver.

Although the calligraphy, paintings, and porcelain displayed in the Wei family's ancestral house do not look ordinary, Liu Hongjian never believes that Wei Zaode's ass is so clean.

Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you will send this shameless person and thief to hell.

Liu Hongjian sent the Jinyi Guards to punish Xu Ba of the Thousand Households to interrogate Wei Zaode, instructing him to pry out the silver where it was hidden by all means, and at the same time took all the Jinyi Wei Ti Rides, went to find the heads, hoes, and dug up the silver three feet into the ground.

What Liu Hong gradually did not expect was that the treasure was indeed hidden underneath, but it was not in the Wei family's ancestral home.

Xu Ba is about forty years old and has rich experience in torture, in order to win Liu Hongji's appreciation, he has been repeatedly pondering the housekeeping skills of Jinyiwei's torture back then, what scrubbing, frying, poisoning, and playing the pipa.

As a result, Xu Ba still miscalculated, he didn't expect Wei Zaode to be so bold, he just took out the guy's business, a trick didn't work, Wei Zaode directly collapsed to the ground and reported the location of the silver burial.

This irritable Xu Ba is quite angry, damn, so spineless, Lao Tzu thought about it all the way in vain? How can you do that, come on, play the lute for him!

Liu Hongchuan, who learned the location of the silver collection, dug a tunnel from under the Wei family's latrine, which was thirty meters long and led to the Zhang family next door, which also made Liu Hongjian sigh at Wei Zaode's cunning.
