Chapter 874: Min Feng, You're So Cheap!
It's just that Hu Maoshen turned his head and found that Gu Chengyu still looked so calm and relaxed, and he was tired!
"Since you all have your own opinions, then you have to send someone to Yingnanfu to investigate before making a conclusion."
Gu Chengyu had been listening to a few people arguing just now, but he didn't interrupt, first, he wanted to see how shameless Min Feng could be. The second is that he is stalling for time and is waiting for the news handed over by Yingnanfu Mingmo.
"My lord! Outside the door, Lord Gu's servant begged to see him, and he said that he had something urgent to report to Lord Gu. ”
Originally, a few adults were discussing, and he would never dare to disturb it. It's just that this Ming Yan is Lord Gu's personal servant, and the other party said that there was an emergency, where did he dare to slack off?
Gu Chengyu originally planned to let Min Feng go for the time being, and when the evidence came, it would not be too late to deal with him, but now the news should be here.
"The villain Ming Yan has seen all the adults!" Ming Yan entered the study and saluted to everyone.
Among the people present, Hu Maoshen had the highest grade, so he naturally called out.
"Brother Mingyan doesn't have to be polite!" For Gu Chengyu's sake, Hu Maoshen was quite polite to Mingmo.
Besides, he used to be very envious of Gu Chengyu having these two right-hand men by his side, although his Hoi An was not bad, but sometimes his temper was too impulsive.
"Your Excellency!" Ming Yan glanced at Gu Chengyu, he didn't know if he wanted to tell the news of the investigation here.
"Ming Yan, tell me about the news you investigated." Gu Chengyu straightened the corners of his robe, and his confident appearance made Min Feng feel a sigh.
He suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, what is this little guy going to say? Does it have something to do with yourself?
"My lord! News came from Yingnan Mansion that when Lord Min first arrived in Yingnan Mansion, he was recommended by Lord Hu to Lord Li, the prefect of Yingnan Mansion. During this period, Lord Min and several adults from the Ministry of Engineering inspected the embankment twice, but no water leakage was found. During the period of borrowing from the Yingnan Mansion, Lord Li gave Lord Min one hundred taels of gold, plus a beauty. ”
Ming Yan has already said it in great detail, and there is no need to describe it later. What can you do if you send a beauty? Of course, it's a night song!
Min Feng glared at Ming Yan, watching him Ming Yan report his whereabouts in Yingnan Mansion word by word, and the hands hidden in his sleeves trembled uncontrollably.
He stared at Ming Yan's eyes, as if he was going to break the other party's corpse into thousands of pieces, and at this moment, his heart was even more upside down.
Good Gu Chengyu, I didn't expect him to dare to investigate his whereabouts in Yingnan Mansion.
Min Feng hated Gu Chengyu this time, and he swore that when he returned to the capital, the matter gradually subsided. He must follow what the teacher said and get rid of Gu Chengyu's obstacle as soon as possible.
The faces of the other officials of the Ministry of Industry also became extremely ugly, they didn't expect Gu Chengyu to send someone to investigate them in Yingnan Mansion.
And no matter how big or small, the details are clear. Then the benefits they got in Yingnan Mansion, didn't Gu Chengyu know everything about it?
Although the benefits are small, the matter of accepting bribes is a certainty.
If Gu Chengyu reported this matter to the emperor, then their black gauze hats would not be able to keep it.
Thinking about it like this, several people suddenly felt that their legs were weak and they almost couldn't stand.
Min Feng's face was paler than several officials of the Ministry of Industry, and he was desperately thinking of countermeasures at the moment.
This is Jiangnan, and the teacher just wants to save him, but the far water can't save the near fire.
At present, I still have to fool the situation in front of me first, and when I return to the capital, I will see the real chapter under my hands!
"A hundred taels of gold?" Gu Chengyu looked at Min Feng with a strange expression, isn't this one hundred taels of gold a thousand taels of silver?
It only cost 1,000 taels to buy people? Min Feng! Hello cheap! Gu Chengyu felt that he was corrupt for a hundred taels of gold, and his eyelids were really too shallow.
"Back to my lord! On that day, not only Lord Min received the benefits, but several adults in the Ministry of Industry also received them more or less. There is a detailed record here, so please take a look at it. ”
This matter is not easy to investigate, and Mingmo has spent a lot of thought in Yingnan Mansion. Ming Yan stepped forward and handed over the letter in his hand. This was copied from the bamboo tubes of three carrier pigeons, which did not carry much weight.
"In addition, the leakage of the river embankment is absolutely not before Lord Min and they receive benefits, which has been confirmed by many river workers. Later, in order to make the leakage of the river embankment come true, the prefect of Yingnan Prefecture found several river workers and coerced them to dig two small holes in the river embankment, but now they have been filled. ”
Ming Yan spoke straightforwardly, and after explaining everything almost completely, he stepped aside.
Several officials from the Ministry of Industry looked at Min Feng, a hundred taels of gold? This Master Li is really generous!
That's a thousand taels of silver! Officials in some remote places may not be able to save 1,000 taels of silver in 10 years.
Plus their grade is higher than Min Feng, and how much silver do they get? It's only a few hundred taels.
Of course, no one in the Ministry of Industry knew what the amount of silver the others had, but compared to Min Feng, they were naturally small.
Now that the incident at the east window happened, they suddenly felt a little lucky, if they really received a thousand taels of silver, then they would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.
Hu Maoshen's face was pale, he didn't expect Min Feng to dare to deceive his superiors and subordinates for this thousand taels of silver? Li Taihang is not a thing.
In fact, how many officials can there be in the upper and lower courts, who are honest and honest, and who are not greedy for ink? Even Hu Maoshen himself has received a lot of filial piety from others.
Officialdom is like this, everyone else is greedy for ink, but you are incorruptible, you will naturally be excluded, but what is the point of this?
Now the imperial court is anxious about disaster relief, and the emperor is also furious. Min Feng was greedy for ink and silver at this juncture, and the punishment he received would be several times heavier than usual.
And disaster relief is so important that some people of conscience will not reach out at this time. I just want to, but I don't have the guts.
"Min Feng! Is what Master Gu's entourage said true? Hu Maoshen looked at Min Feng's eyes full of anger, putting aside the matter of greedy ink, Min Feng dared to join forces with Li Taixing to fool himself.
Where does this place this chin in himself? He is a second-class member of the imperial court, and Min Feng and Li Taixing inevitably don't take him seriously.
How could Min Feng admit it? He fell to his knees with a thud.
"Ask Lord Hu to learn clearly! Can't you listen to the words of Lord Gu's entourage and assume that the next official has received the money! What evidence can they have to prove that the retinue is talking empty words to slander the lower officials? ”
This matter must not be admitted, otherwise even if he has the support of his teacher, the emperor will not be able to let him go.
He regretted it a little at this time, he shouldn't have received the one thousand taels of silver in the first place, and there would be a chance in the future, so why should he be in a hurry?
It's only to blame Li Taixing for using real money to lure him, otherwise how could he be carried away by the silver?
