Chapter 398
Wencai nodded to Catching God, turned his head to look at Ma Shangshu, and asked, "Has the doctor of Yuheng Qingli been captured, and what are the confessions of other Yuhengqing officials? What clues are there?"

There are four divisions under the Ministry of Industry, namely Yingxiu, Yuheng, Dushui, and Tuntian Siqing Officials Division. There are one Langzhong and Yuanwailang each, and two principals.

Among them, Yu Hengqing was in charge of the weights and measures system, the production and delivery of official utensils, the verification and write-off of military expenses, military supplies, arms manufacturing, and expenditures in various places, the management of smelting and casting coins, the procurement of copper, lead and nitrate, the appointment and dismissal of Baoyuan Bureau supervision, and many other matters.

This case of counterfeit copper coins was caused by the suspicion that the copper coin templates of the Ministry of Industry's Yu Heng Qing Officials Department had been stolen. The biggest suspect was the many officials in the Yu Heng Department.

If it is said that among the other three, the one who wants to solve the case the most is not Catching God, but Ma Shangshu.

When Ma Shangshu heard Wen Cai's words, a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, and he didn't answer immediately.A slight sneer flashed in the eyes of Catching God at the side. Ma Shangshu stopped the six gates to fetch people several times before, and he didn't even enter the gate.

After all, not everyone can be as fierce as Wen Cai, and they don't have a loyal Hou to support them!

Wencai found that the atmosphere was not right. Thinking of the civil servant's usual peeing, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Ma Shangshu, don't tell me that the officials of Yu Hengqing's Department of Officials are still in office, right?"

Seeing Ma Shangshu nodded awkwardly, the anger in Wencai's heart almost exploded on the spot.After such a big incident happened, all the officials of Yu Hengqing's official department not only did not go to prison but remained in office, is this continuing to pass on news to the black hands behind the scenes?

Right now, Wen Cai had the urge to pat the table, and then just flung his sleeves and left.

With such a group of pig teammates, it's hard not to lose!
Wen Cai stared at Ma Shangshu closely, his chest heaved and heaved, his lips parted several times before he could speak.In his heart, he even wanted to send Ma Shangshu to prison directly, and deeply suspected that Ma Shangshu was one of the masterminds behind the scenes.

Otherwise, how could such a big loophole be left behind!
"Master Zhao, in fact, Ma Shangshu also wants to lure snakes out of the hole, so as to investigate which official among them is the most suspected." Wang Shangshu saw that the situation was wrong, and quickly stood up to smooth things over.

If Ma Shangshu went to prison on the first day, I am afraid that Ma Shangshu will become a laughing stock in the officialdom, and he will not be able to escape much.

Wen Cai didn't show any face, looked at Ma Shangshu and said in a deep voice: "Then after so many days, Ma Shangshu told me which official from Yu Hengqing's Department of Civil Affairs is most suspected, or which official from the entire Ministry of Industry is most suspected?"

The embarrassment on Ma Shangshu's face became more and more intense, and Wang Shangshu was more tactful. Hearing this, he laughed and said: "This Ministry of Industry is really not as proficient as those from Liufanmen and Jingzhaofu. Nothing. But Ma Shangshu has already made a decision, this matter is completely handed over to Mr. Zhao and Mr. Liu, and everything is under the orders of the two adults."

Hearing what Wang Shangshu said, Wencai managed to suppress the anger in his heart.

If Ma Shangshu didn't know what to do, then he might really send Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry to prison on the first day, no matter how loud the commotion was caused.

He didn't want to have a group of pig teammates around him, and he didn't even know how they died!

Wen Cai turned his head away, stopped looking at Ma Shangshu, and said to Catching God: "Master Liu, I leave all of this to you. When will there be results?"

Catching God's eyes lit up, he cupped his fists and said loudly: "My lord, please rest assured, there will be a result within a day."

"Ah."

Wencai nodded, without further persecution.

Ma Shangshu was very anxious when he heard this, and it was obvious that there would be gains within half a day. The officials of Yu Hengqing's official department might not escape the severe torture.He immediately wanted to say something, but was grabbed by Wang Shangshu beside him, and shook his head solemnly at him.

Now Wen Cai has Shang Fang's sword in his body, not to mention those officials of Yu Hengqing's official department, even if they hinder Wen Cai, I believe the other party will never be soft.

The matter of fake copper coins has had too much impact, and everyone is thinking of solving the case as soon as possible.

No matter what Ma Shangshu said at this time, others would not care.

Ma Shangshu is not a stupid person, his mind was only affected by emotions before, but now he figured everything out quickly.He slumped on the chair with a bitter look on his face. After this case is over, it may be time for him to retire and return home.

Not only the situation on the emperor's side, but also the mood of the officials below the Ministry of Industry.As the leader of a branch, you cannot protect the officials below, then the officials below will abandon you and choose another leader.

Prestige is a double-edged sword, if it can't hurt others, it can only hurt yourself!
………………

After Wen Cai sent the three of them out, he immediately let out all his anger.

"Good guy, even the suspect has not been identified until now, and Yu Hengqing's official department has not been well controlled. He still wants me to solve the case within ten days. The emperor is obviously embarrassing me!" Wen Cai thought of Ma Shangshu's expression before, and just I can't wait to slap him.

If Ma Shangshu is his subordinate, he promises to kick him out immediately.

It's too damn heavy to carry!

Cheng Caiyu massaged Wencai's shoulders as usual, and said comfortingly: "Ma Shangshu's situation is also unavoidable. If he, the head of a department, cannot protect the people below, the people below will not believe him... "

"But things have to be prioritized. For such a big case of fake copper coins, does he think it's a case of embezzlement of a small amount of money? Even if the six doors are not allowed to take action, he can clean up the door himself without messing with it." You have to lose face like this now. In the final analysis, it is good face, and public and private are not distinguished, so it is no wonder that the Ministry of Industry will not have any accidents in the hands of such an old fool."

When Wencai mentioned Ma Shangshu, he had a look of disdain on his face. In his opinion, the other party was a pure old bureaucrat. His rhetoric was fine, but he could not do much real work.Although it has only been a few years since the founding of Daxia, this situation is already quite serious.

Among the civil servants of the imperial court, at least [-]% of them can only talk, including such important departments as the Six Ministries.

It's just that Wencai didn't expect that the dignified Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce is also such a guy. I really can't figure out how the other party can stand in the court for decades without falling.

What Cheng Caiyu said next solved the doubts in Wencai's heart.

"Actually, you can't blame Ma Shangshu for this. He has been in the Ministry of Rites before, and he knows nothing about the affairs and conditions of the Ministry of Industry. If the emperor hadn't appointed him as Minister of the Ministry of Industry, he would not have come to the Ministry of Industry."

"I'm afraid that in Ma Shangshu's heart, he is also unwilling to go to the Ministry of Industry..."
