My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 53
"Jian Shangshu, something serious happened...Xu Jingchang led people to surround the household department." The doctor of the Department of Wenxuan of the Ministry of Officials rushed in and reported the news to Jian Yi.

Jian Yi froze, the brush in his hand flicked, the ink fell on the paper, and the half-written memorabilia had to be discarded... His Excellency Tianguan was a little stunned, and waved his hand to make people retreat.

Then he fell into thought, and after a while, the corners of his mouth even turned up, revealing an unexpected smile.

This guy Xu Jingchang is a stick in the court, who specializes in stirring up trouble, making troubles out of nothing, reporting to the mansion, and evaluating the progress of the officials, all of which are made by him.

It's good now that he has been given the authority to levy taxes again, so it's no wonder that nothing happens.

The only question now is who is this kid talking to.

Don't look at him sealing the household department first, but who will be really unlucky next, it's hard to say, as a heavenly official, I can only watch quietly... It's just that I didn't expect that this son of Marquis Wuyang, It's extraordinary.

But it seems that he can't do anything, Jian Yi grabbed a piece of paper, wrote a few names on it, and then ticked it off, and then filled in a few more secure candidates...Obviously, this is what it means to be an official. The duties of the Ministry of Heaven.

Xu Jingchang tossed fiercely, the more people he took down, the more Jian Yi could squeeze in.

Anyway, as long as he doesn't move the officials' plate, Jian Yi doesn't care, and is even happy to see it succeed.

The other ministries were not as detached as the official ministries, and they were worried that Xu Jingchang would attack them, so they were worried, and suddenly heard that the household department was in trouble first.

These few were simply delighted.

Should!
This is shooting yourself in the foot.

The source of everything is Xia Yuanji, he insisted on setting up some kind of Jubaomen tax card, a trivial matter, the bigger the trouble.Now the Secretary of General Administration is cheap, with great power in his hands, a sharp sword hanging in the air, and all officials trembling.

However, the first knife fell on the head of Hubu, and it was his own fault.

You deserve it!

This is Xia Yuanji's retribution.

Liu Jun, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, asked people to inquire to see how many people had been arrested. Has Xia Yuanji been arrested?

"If Xia Shangshu goes to the prison, we have to prepare a good New Year's Eve dinner to impress Xia Shangshu!"

On the other side, Zheng Ci, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, was also watching with joy, "Tell everyone, if there is indeed evidence of a crime, our Ministry of Punishment will command the Third Division and deal with some corrupt officials severely, so that the world will know that we are ruthless and do our part. .”

As for Song Li, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, he was purely watching the excitement, but he was slightly emotional, "Why bother, why? It's not good for the New Year's Eve to fly like a chicken and a dog!"

These guys had been watching the play until the afternoon, when Xu Jingchang finally wandered out from the household department. Behind him, besides Zhu Yong, there were six doctors, six Yuanwai Langs, and twelve principals, mighty and menacing.

Xu Jingchang turned his head and said to Xia Yuanji: "Duke Xia, it's the end of the year, and the Ministry of Households is not sloppy in calculating the world's wealth. Can you still hold on?"

With an old face, Xia Yuanji snorted, "It's up to now, even if you can't hold on, you have to hold on. At worst, you can't stop day and night, just do your best."

Xu Jingchang laughed loudly, "I knew Xia Shangshu was very capable and clever. I don't care about the affairs of the household department. Now that the army is strong and horses are strong, I just go to check taxes."

Turning his head, Xu Jingchang said to everyone: "You are all wearing the body of a crime. This is your last chance. If you fail to seize it and do your duty faithfully, I will write a letter immediately, please peel your skin according to the ancestral system."

The more than 20 officials present looked at each other in blank dismay, full of resentment, and wanted to strangle Xu Jingchang to death, but unfortunately, they really had nothing to do.

Xu Jingchang went to the household department to make a fuss, and it was a fake to track down the tax. His real purpose of coming here was to get a group of officials who are familiar with finance and taxation... Otherwise, relying on a few thousand soldiers, the ability to execute would be no problem.But how to verify the amount and how to collect it, they can't do it.

We are collecting taxes, not water mooring Liangshan, so we can't do anything wrong.

It's all right now, we have snatched manpower from the Ministry of Finance, and then we can flex our muscles and kill the Quartet.

"You six gents, each commanding [-] tax cadres, sub-contracting, inside and outside the capital, all areas, not to be missed, the two counties of Jinling in the Shangyuan Dynasty, and the ships on the Yangtze River, don't let go, immediately dispatched, comprehensive Strict investigation!"

When this order came down, these Langzhong were stunned. In the past, they were in charge of cleaning up the officials, and they only did accounting, set the tax amount clearly, and were in charge of the treasury... It was the first time that they ran rampant in the capital like this.

Don't say it, this feeling is quite majestic.

It feels like a dandy, running amok... By the way, isn't Xu Jingchang the biggest dandy in the capital?
If it fell under his hands, wouldn't it be the eagle dog who became a dude?
Hey, there is no other way but to be ruthless and strictly enforce the law.

Otherwise, the big guys don't want to go to prison for the New Year!
Satisfied, Xu Jingchang ordered: "Come here, two Yuanwailangs, four principals, and follow me to the Ministry of Industry."

After finishing speaking, Xu Jingchang directly led the people to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.

He ate the melon on his own head, and the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Luo Qi, was dumbfounded.

"Xu Tongzheng, what are you going to do? Our Ministry of Industry has always abided by the laws of the country, worked hard for the great work of the court, and has always done the hardest work and received the most scolding. How can you bully the Ministry of Industry? I want to write a letter of impeachment, I'm going to see His Majesty."

Xu Jingchang smiled, "Luo Shangshu knows about your ex, right?"

Luo Qi was shocked, of course he knew that Huang Fu, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, was killed by Xu Jingchang with two broken stones. ...Thinking of this, Luo Qi felt a chill, and the way he looked at Xu Jingchang changed.

"You, are you going to kill someone?"

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Luo Shangshu is wrong. Our General Administration Secretary is investigating the issue of taxation. Even if it is Jing'an Hou Wang Zhong, he will only be imprisoned for three months. Don't worry, I will not kill people."

After finishing speaking, Xu Jingchang turned his head and said to his subordinates: "Go, seal up all the accounts of the bamboo and wood division of the Ministry of Industry!"

Luo Qi turned pale with shock, "Xu Tongzheng, you can't mess around. At the end of the year, the Ministry of Industry still has several projects, including the repair of the East Palace, which is the prince's residence. You sealed the accounts of the Ministry of Industry and affected major events. Who will be responsible for it?" ?”

Xu Jingchang didn't panic in the slightest, "The points for bamboo and wood are the tolls you collect for the wood, and it has nothing to do with the construction of the project. You don't mean to say that the Ministry of Industry collected the money and used it to do projects and decorate the East Palace, right? ?”

Luo Qi was stunned for a while, and said angrily: "That's what you mean, so what?"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "That's a serious matter. You collect money yourself and spend it yourself. I have received several reports from the General Administration Department about the Ministry of Industry's shaming and perfunctory deception... If you still want to stop it, then Let's go to His Majesty to file a lawsuit and thoroughly investigate. Don't worry, as long as the Ministry of Industry is found to be innocent, I will immediately resign and apologize. "

asshole!

You can do it, but I can't!

Luo Yi is almost scolding, who doesn't know that you still have a title, and you don't care about this envoy at all... The big guy is really blind, how can you let you be responsible for collecting taxes? It's going to kill you!
Luo Qi had no choice but to let Xu Jingchang's people go in and search.

Half a day later, Xu Jingchang was resigned by Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Industry, Langzhong of Tuntian Qingli Division, Yuanwailang, and two principals. There was also a principal of the Dushui Division... Xu Jingchang was satisfied when he came out of the Ministry of Industry.

"Luo Shangshu, I will take my leave first, and I will come to visit again when I have free time... The next one, go to the Ministry of War!" Xu Jingchang said loudly.

……

A few days ago, Wang Zhong was the one who was most frightened. He was imprisoned by Zhu Di for three months, and the anger in his heart can be imagined. He really despised the hero and didn't put him in his eyes... Then Wang Zhong opened his eyes. Officials from the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Punishment were sent to prison one after another, and the number of them was increasing.

If things go on like this, Zhu Di's New Year's Grand Meeting will be held in Tianlao.

Wang Zhong gradually became honest, even the dullest people could understand that Zhu Di was playing for real, civil and military courtiers, and all the yamen, no one could escape from this disaster, and no one could escape from this gate of hell.

Realizing this, Wang Zhong was quite happy, "This Marquis was only imprisoned for three months, and it's only been a year... You guys have committed dereliction of duty and bribery? If this is the case, 60 taels of silver can peel the last grass .Big guy, eat and drink well, don't even get your skin peeled!"

He said and raised his glass, "Come on, let's drink fine wine. If you have wine today, you will be drunk today, and you will be skinned tomorrow, and you will be sad tomorrow... Oh, I am so talented, I can compose poetry."
