Chapter 875: Taken into custody
Min Feng has been an official for three years, and watching others eat and drink spicy food every day, he really can't help the greed in his heart.
Hanlin Yuan is the Qingshui Yamen, you have no power in your hands, who will go to give you a special gift?
In addition, Gu Chengyu actually owned a three-entry mansion in the south, and he also lived in the teacher's house, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
If he had known that was the case, he should have waited a little longer. When the three years were up and the hall was dispersed, he begged the teacher to transfer him to the yamen, which was full of oil and water, wouldn't it be much more convenient to make money at that time than now?
"You mean to say that the official has framed you? Then who was that woman you brought with you when you came to Hang Tianfu? Wasn't it given to you by Master Li? As for the hundred taels of gold, since you sent someone to the money bank to exchange the silver ticket, it is naturally well documented. In the end, the river embankment leaked, it would be easier to do, and the official had already asked people to prepare all the witnesses. ”
Gu Chengyu sneered, knowing that Min Feng would not cry when he saw the coffin. Although Gu Chengyu holds the sword of Shang Fang given by the emperor, but the official is greedy for ink, even if he collects evidence, he can't cut Min Feng first, otherwise he will be attacked and annihilated by the courtiers in the future.
After all, how many officials can there be who are not greedy for ink? The difference is only in the amount of silver and the origin!
And Min Feng was only greedy for 1,000 taels of silver, which is actually a lot, but not much.
It's just that this matter involves the victims, so the emperor's punishment will be extraordinarily severe! However, Min Feng is not guilty of death, and he is not guilty of raiding his family and exterminating the clan.
Therefore, Gu Chengyu planned to hand over the evidence of his and Li Taixing's crimes to the emperor, and the emperor would decide it himself.
Min Feng suddenly remembered that Hua Rong had also come to Hangtian Mansion, and he had nowhere to quibble about Hua Rong. But this has nothing to do with his acceptance of bribes, he fell in love with Huarong, and Li Taixing gave him this woman, which is very normal, just a servant raised in the house.
It is not uncommon for officials to exchange gifts to each other, so this is not much evidence of a crime.
"Master Hu" Min Feng had to quibble a few more words, but he didn't want to be interrupted by Hu Maoshen raising his hand.
Where didn't Hu Maoshen know that Min Feng was forcibly quibbling? Anyway, Gu Chengyu had already collected evidence in this matter, so he just followed behind and picked up the ready-made benefits.
As for Li Taixing, since this person is so careless, then don't blame him for standing by.
"The emperor has appointed Gu Shaoqing to be the chief minister of this disaster relief, and it is not good for this official to interfere too much in this matter. Since you all have your own opinions, and Gu Shaoqing said that he has witnesses and physical evidence, you might as well wait for the emperor to come and distinguish! ”
Hu Maoshen said angrily to Min Feng, and then closed his eyes and recuperated.
Gu Chengyu narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said: "Min Feng, although you are the imperial history of patrolling the river appointed by the emperor, you are greedy for ink and silver, which delayed the best time for Lord Qinchahu to settle the victims, causing the victims to riot outside the city of Hangtianfu. Putting Lord Yang in danger and nearly losing your life at the hands of the victims, you were there at the time, but you escaped in the end. ”
Speaking of this, Gu Chengyu stood up suddenly, pointed at Min Feng and shouted: "Almost because of your selfish desires, Lord Yang was killed at the hands of the victims, and the victims had nowhere to hide. Because of your delay, during which the embankment of Changtianfu broke again, and many people died in the flood, you are simply unforgivable. ”
Gu Chengyu's accusation made Min Feng's heart beat wildly, he couldn't afford this crime!
"Master Gu! Your accusations cannot be agreed upon, and you cannot rely on your own subjective assumptions."
Gu Chengyu couldn't bear to listen to Min Feng's strong words, he still had a lot of things to do, and he didn't have time to argue with him here.
"This official will temporarily detain you today, and when you return to the capital, you will be convicted by the emperor!"
After that, Gu Chengyu turned to Yang Chaoying, who was sitting on the side and watched the show, and said, "Lord Yang, temporarily detain Min Feng in your mansion." When he returns to the capital, he will be escorted back to Beijing. ”
Hu Maoshen couldn't help but nod when he heard this, even those officials who were idle and had nothing to do could find faults.
Gu Chengyu didn't rely on his ability to get Shang Fang's sword and do whatever he wanted, and he was still old-fashioned. Compared with Min Feng, when he first came to Jiangnan, he couldn't wait to reach out and get silver, which is simply incomparable!
Yang Chaoying is a little embarrassed, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right? Min Feng is Xia Shoufu's disciple after all, if he really arrests people, will he be liquidated by Xia Shoufu in the future?
Of course Gu Chengyu is not afraid, he has the support of the emperor, but he can't! Can the emperor remember who he is?
Yang Chaoying's hesitant look made Gu Chengyu look at it, and he understood Yang Chaoying's concerns.
"At that time, the official will explain to the emperor what happened in Jiangnan one by one!"
These words made Yang Chaoying overjoyed, this is a promise, right? The meaning of this is needless to say.
Yang Chaoying has not been in the officialdom for a year or two, how can he not understand what Gu Chengyu means?
"Someone!"
Several officials of the Ministry of Industry were stunned at this time, they couldn't imagine that Gu Chengyu had really detained Min Feng, which was simply incredible.
Isn't Gu Chengyu afraid of Xia Shoufu's revenge? Is this the courage given to him by the emperor?
When Min Feng saw someone in charge coming in, he immediately said angrily: "Lord Gu, the lower official is the imperial history of patrolling the river appointed by the emperor, and you have no right to detain the lower official." ”
The eyes of everyone in the room focused on Gu Chengyu, Gu Chengyu was calm, and ordered Ming Yan: "You go and call a few officials to take care of Min Feng for the time being." Remember! You can't go wrong! ”
Ming Yan led the order to step forward and asked the steward to call the officials, but he stepped forward and cut Min Feng's hands behind him, and restrained Min Feng with one move.
Min Feng was in pain and shouted loudly. Ming Yan tore off a piece of Min Feng's robe and rudely stuffed it into Min Feng's mouth.
When Min Feng was taken out by Ming Yan, everyone else in the room looked at each other. Gu Chengyu turned out to be real, and there was no mercy to talk about.
Several officials of the Ministry of Industry were terrified, Min Feng had Xia Shoufu's support, Gu Chengyu said that he would tie up, so what about them?
Wouldn't these officials, who have little roots, be cut down first and then played? When they thought about it, they couldn't help but gasp.
Then they knelt down one after another, "Master Gu! We committed perjury before, and that was because we were threatened by Min Feng, and we were really forced to do so! Please also raise your noble hand and spare us! ”
Yin Yue, the director of the Ministry of Works, pleaded with a bitter face.
"Yes! Oh, yes! Please also take care of it! ”
Gu Chengyu sat down and glanced at a few people with a smile.
Regardless of whether these officials are doing good or voluntarily joining the same stream, the benefits that they should not receive are not less than they should receive anyway.
Now that Min Feng has an accident, these people have chosen to betray Min Feng in order to protect their lives.
It's a pity, I should tell Min Feng to leave later and look at the faces of these people.
