Rebirth in another world as a fake eunuch

Chapter 31

"Fuck, this is not a joke." After listening to the report of his subordinates, Wang Kuo couldn't help but wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, knowing that something serious had happened.

Wang Kuo knew that apart from Tianjing Mansion Yin and Jinyuan Hou Mansion being involved in this matter, he might not know if anyone else was involved, but even if he guessed with his ass, he could guess at most. Just one or two, how could there be so many?
Take a look at the people arrested by Jin Yiwei this time, there is one second-rank minister, one second-rank minister, four third-rank ministers, six third-rank ministers, and a total of nine fourth-rank ministers...

"Hehe, it's just a Mengxiang Pavilion. How much benefit can there be? Is the governor of Tianjing Prefecture a fool or Jin Xiong is a fool. Will such a small profit be distributed to so many ministers?"

"What the hell, this is clearly wronging people."

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Wang Kuo didn't feel sleepy at this moment, so he put on a casual dress and walked out the door.

Someone brewed a pot of tea and drank the tea brought by the servants. After a short period of blankness, the brain kept spinning rapidly, and soon guessed the matter with the same accuracy.

This is clearly because Zhang Jinzhong, the governor of the Tianjing government, couldn't stand the torture of Jin Yiwei, so he intentionally bit out a group of people, and Zhu Yu didn't know whether it was true or not, anyway, Zhang Jinzhong's bite followed Zhu Yu's wishes. He directly took advantage of this opportunity to kill the killer.

"Okay, okay, after this incident, it seems that whether it is the court or Jinyiwei, there will be a big change of blood. Unexpectedly, Sun Deqiang helped me this time."

Wang Kuo guessed right, Zhang Jinzhong is sixty-five years old this year, and at this age, Zhang Jinzhong also knows that he has no further hope, so he usually does things with ease, and will take the opportunity to collect money for his own Make plans for the future.

So when Jin Yiwei whipped and tortured him for a while, Zhang Jinzhong, who lost half of his life, finally began to bite people indiscriminately.

The sky is falling and everyone is dead. Anyway, I have no hope of official career, and this group of Jinyi guards beat them to death again. If I don't talk about it, wouldn't they be beaten to death here?

What's more, Zhang Jinzhong also had his own purpose in doing this. Since he couldn't bear the torture, he might as well bring out some more people, so that not only the law will not blame the public.

The most important thing is that Zhu Wang's weakness over the years gave him hope. He believed that as long as more officials were arrested and the ministers of civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty played together, Zhu Wang would definitely not be able to withstand the pressure and let them go.

Moreover, the people Zhang Jinzhong confessed to were all his political enemies, so he was not afraid of retaliation afterwards.

However, he would never have imagined it no matter what, and what he did just happened to give Zhu Wang a chance.

"Zhang Jinzhong, I greet your whole family..." A shout resounded through the prison cell.

There are more than 20 ministers, all of whom were arrested and imprisoned in a daze. When they learned that they were all "partners" confessed by Zhang Jinzhong, no matter how well-bred they were, they could bear it. He couldn't help cursing angrily.

clap clap clap...

Following waves of whipping, screams resounded throughout the prison, and the capital was already in chaos.

Headed by Du Xianming, Zhao Zhifeng, and Lu Pu, cabinet scholars, Wang Zhijie, Minister of Rites, Yuan Ziwen, Minister of Officials, Dong Shaohua, Minister of Households, Zhong Shanjing, Minister of Industry, and Guo Fenglu, Minister of Punishment, among the six ministers. Nearly a hundred subordinate officials were all stopped outside the palace.

It's not that he didn't want to enter, but was blocked by Zhu Wang.

"Three old elders, my lords, you guys, you are embarrassing, the little ones are just following orders."

Outside the Chongyang Palace, a large group of civil and military officials knelt down, the first three were the three court elders, Du Xianming, Lu Pu and Zhao Zhifeng, followed by the five Shangshu lords, um, another one After being bitten into the imperial prison by Zhang Jinzhong, there were a hundred or so officials after that.

According to their status, these people kneeled very consciously into a pyramid shape. At this time, the guards in charge of guarding the palace gate were looking at Du Xianming, the three old elders, with bitter faces.

"This is done voluntarily by us. Don't worry, His Majesty will not make things difficult for you. Go help the old man and report to His Majesty. If His Majesty doesn't see us one day, we will kneel here for a while. I hope His Majesty will take the country as the most important thing and the community as the most important thing." ah."

Du Xianming, who is in his 60s, is the chief assistant of the cabinet, so he naturally speaks for everyone.

"This... that's fine." The guard commander looked at the five ministers and the other two court elders beside Du Xianming. It's not that a little leader like him can offend.

In desperation, he could only give a wry smile and said: "Masters, please wait here for a moment, and I will report to you immediately."

"It's troublesome."

Du Xianming nodded with a relaxed expression, and he couldn't help but feel like a spring breeze after he finished speaking.

"Don't dare, this should be small." The commander of the guards quickly clasped his fists and said politely, and then waved someone to open the small door on the side of the palace gate, and briefly explained a few words to the guards on duty, and then hurried to the palace gate. Go to the palace.

"Hey……"

Seeing the commander of the guards leaving in a hurry, Du Xianming couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"After so many years, it seems that it has really passed."

Du Xianming knew in his heart that His Majesty was expressing his dissatisfaction to them.

"Master Shoufu, why are you sighing?"

Du Xianming sighed softly, but the two elders kneeling beside him could still hear it clearly, and Zhao Zhifeng couldn't help asking.

"This time, I'm afraid it really can't be resolved." Du Xianming looked at the majestic palace gate in front of him, and expressed his guess in his heart worriedly.

"This... this shouldn't be the case, isn't it because Zhang Jinzhong, the governor of Tianjing Prefecture, sealed off a shop, and that counts as something?"

Zhao Zhifeng was also in his 60s, but he was two years younger than Du Xianming. He frowned when he heard what Du Xianming said, but he obviously didn't believe it.

In Zhao Zhifeng's eyes, it was nothing more than the government of Tianjing government sealing up a shop. The reason why this matter has come to this is at most because it angered the women in the harem. As for the others, is that a problem?
What's more, it is just to close a shop, even if there are great interests in it, does it still take more than 20 officials to participate, and if all the interests are divided, how much can one person have?Who can see it?

So anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is just Zhang Jinzhong's random biting.

Unlike Zhao Zhifeng, Lu Pu, who was the youngest of the three, only 55 years old, showed a thoughtful expression, looked at Du Xianming and then at Zhao Zhifeng, and couldn't help but ask: said a word.

"The emperor lay down a million corpses in a fit of anger?"

"En." Du Xianming nodded slightly.

"This..." Zhao Zhifeng finally couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. If he had reached this point, if he still couldn't figure it out, then he wouldn't be worthy of being the elder of the cabinet.

"Let's see, if His Majesty doesn't summon us within half an hour..."

"Hey, yes, half an hour, if you don't summon us for half an hour, I'm afraid His Majesty has already made up his mind."

After the three elders finished speaking, the five ministers kneeling behind them heard clearly.

The air was a little dull for a while, and the three elders and the five ministers behind them began to feel heavy.

As time passed, the mood of several people became more and more dull, especially Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, who was a little shallower in Zhongcheng Mansion, whose complexion had already become pale and weak.

As for the officials after that, they didn't have a deep understanding, and their expressions were still normal.

"Hehe, Your Majesty is still Your Majesty. No matter what time it is, our courtiers..." Although Zhong Shanjing laughed at himself in a low voice, he didn't say it clearly, but the other ministers and the three elders still understood.

"Let's see, it won't be long before some of us will be taken away." Zhao Zhifeng turned his head and glanced at the civil and military officials behind him, with deep worry in his eyes.

"It seems that this time, His Majesty is determined to deal with some people."

"Imperial power has been missing for so long, His Majesty has already been angry." Du Xianming shook his head: "I have already reminded you, as ministers, we must stop in moderation, but, but you, hey!"

After two dynasties, Du Xianming has seen everything in his eyes, and he still sees it very clearly. He has reminded them more than once, but no one is willing to listen to him.

This is an era when imperial power is supreme, and these civil and military officials seem to be in control of everything, and the choice of the emperor is controlled by morality and Confucianism.

But in the final analysis, as long as the emperor wants to kill them if he does not have military power, he will not waste a little effort, but they still don't know it, and they provoke the emperor's bottom line from time to time, so today's scene, in Du Apparently it's really not surprising.

Let’s talk about today’s incident, as long as you are not a fool, you can see it. In the final analysis, it is nothing more than closing a shop, whether it is big or small, it is really useful to the point where it is now, and it directly affects dozens of people. Officials of various sizes?It also involved a heavenly official like Shangshu, not to mention that they didn't believe it, even people with a little brain would not believe it.

But why did the emperor believe it?And directly ordered to arrest people?
"Hehe... If you don't die, you won't die."

Half an hour passed, and an hour passed. The officials kneeling outside the palace were already exhausted, but when they saw that Shang Shu and Ge Lao in front of them were still persisting, they could only grit their teeth and continue to endure.

Suddenly bursts of chaotic voices sounded from the direction behind them, which also attracted the attention of the officials, and then they saw a scene that made them tear up their eyes.

"Come here, arrest people according to the list."

At this time, Feng Chao was in high spirits, and directed his men to arrest them according to the list in hand.

Once upon a time, the people here were all existences that he wanted to look up to?But now these people are no different from the meat on the chopping board in his eyes.
