Chapter 130 Heart Attack, Trembling!
lol~
Liu Tongzhi's eyes widened, his teeth chattering uncontrollably.

He opened his mouth to defend himself, but as if his neck was being strangled, he couldn't make a weird sound.

At this moment, his heart was already shrouded in fear.

Looking at the handsome and gentle young man opposite, his eyes were full of fear.

After all, who doesn't have a secret?
No matter how magnanimous a person is, he still has his own little secret in his heart.

It's just that the severity is different.

Those who are magnanimous have no dirty thoughts in their hearts.

Even if there are some thoughts hidden in the bottom of my heart, I am not afraid of being known.

It's just everyone's habit of hiding in the bottom of my heart.

But some people are completely different.

The more sinful things you do, the more you are afraid that people will know your secrets.

Especially in Daming, once corrupt ink was involved, they would be punished!
Beheading, that's just a beginner's entry, and it's the lightest punishment.

Usually the principal culprit is killed, and the family members will also be implicated.

Men will be slaves for life, while women will be sent to Jiaofang Division!
Those with low status will be sold directly into brothels!

Moreover, the murderous alchemists of the Ming Dynasty didn't know how to talk about civilization and reduce pain!
On the contrary, it can be as cruel as it is, and it can be as cruel as it is to make life worse than death.

Cutting off the head with a knife, or taking poison, are more gentle and painless ways to die.

In the Ming Dynasty, if one was found to be greedy for ink, he was usually given the cruelest punishment!

Zhu Yuanzhang often used extrajudicial punishments in dealing with official corruption, the typical example of which is peeling the real grass.

However, this penalty is not stipulated in the "Da Ming Law".

Zhu Yuanzhang created it in the form of the law "Dagao". The scope of application of this punishment is corrupt officials, who make drums or stuff straws into human skin scarecrows to stand at the gate of the yamen or the gate of the local land temple. To warn the successor officials not to take bribes and pervert the law.

Thinking about the great pain of being skinned alive sent chills down my spine.

Moreover, after death, they will be humiliated without dignity. For these scholars, it is a great shame, and it is more painful than killing them!
Zhu Ming seemed to be chatting, and also talked about eating moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

He even knew exactly what medicine he took at night.

What does it mean?
It means that there are bribed spies among the servants at home!
Otherwise, how could such a private matter be known to outsiders?

If even such a private matter is known, what about doing other things?

When receiving benefits, was it seen by other people?

Or, did the person who gave the money take the initiative to reveal it?
For example, every time his nephew visited under the pretense of giving salted fish, but he gave a lot of money in private!
Just when I was in doubt.

The faint words from above completely broke his mind.

Zhu Ming took a sip of his tea leisurely, and said in a casual way: "These are trivial matters, human relations, it's not a big problem, and the court won't go into it too deeply.

His Majesty's rule is that corrupting ink with more than 60 taels of silver will be punished with death, and it won't be enough for a few months of cakes and beef! "

Duang~!

Huang Zhifu and Liu Tongzhi only felt their brains buzzing, as if they were about to explode.

The silver taels they received were more than 60 taels!
Especially as a magistrate, he had to maintain his face on weekdays.

Then cooks, servants and maids are indispensable!

Otherwise, it would be rumored that the dignified wife of the magistrate actually buys vegetables, cooks and washes clothes in person, wouldn't she be laughed at?
These expenses at home alone make the monthly salary more than enough.

Plan to buy even meat!
In addition to the family's expenses, there are also the master's staff, all of which require extra money to support!

If there are a few more strong bodyguards, the expenses will be even greater!
With Lao Zhu setting a salary that is just enough to support the family, even eating meat is difficult, how can he support so many people?

This is not counting the usual walking expenses, and I can't buy clothes!
Adding it all up, even if Huang Zhifu doesn't eat or drink, that little salary is not enough!

The same is true for Liu Tongzhi, who is a sixth rank!

These things have formed a tacit rule in the court.

As long as nothing happens, no one will tell the truth.

Therefore, the money they really received has long been unknown how many 60 taels, enough to kill a hundred times!

Now that King Han puts it forward, there is obviously evidence.

Hitting them from the side hinted!
Gollum~
Liu Tongzhi swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and tentatively asked: "How did Your Highness know about the affairs of the lower official's family?"

Ju Ming leaned back slightly, with a simple and shy smile on his face.

He laughed and said: "Everyone knows that this king's brain is good and bad, and the affairs of the palace are handled by Master Daojian and Chang Shi Yang Shiqi.

A few days ago, when Ben Wang went to play chess with Master Daojian, he saw the information about Master Liu. "

Saying this, there was a bit of innocence on his face.

Rolling his eyes, he said to himself: "I seem to have seen that you have a house in Beijie Street, and you have an outhouse, and the monthly expenses for her are 100 taels of silver!"

Kuang~!

At this moment, Liu Tongzhi's mind seemed to be struck by a thunderbolt.

The body has been shaking uncontrollably.

It's not a big deal just to raise the outer room.

It is also a matter of elegance, and all colleagues are like this.

Just paying 100 taels of silver to the outer room every month is enough to kill him!
Zhu Ming looked at the opposite Liupin Tongzhi who was trembling like chaff and almost kneeling on the ground in fright, the corners of his lips could not help but rise.

It seems that the effect of scaring him is not bad!

Of course, Zhu Ming did not intend to escalate the situation from the beginning to the end, and even wanted real justice to kill the corrupt officials once and for all, so as to return the court to a bright future.

Break certain rules and you'll be the target of public criticism.

Even if he is a vassal king, he will not end well in the end if he is an enemy of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

Being abolished as a king and demoted to a commoner is a basic operation!
If he fails, he will be exiled by his angry father!

Because what the emperor saw and heard was influenced by the ministers.

Influenced by Jin Yiwei and the personal eunuch Wang Chen by his side.

Which of these people has clean hands?
With everyone in danger, these people all unite, and even the crown prince has to stay away.

What's more, it aroused the indignation and slander of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, which also confirmed the lack of ability from the side.

In order to appease the public anger, the emperor had to sacrifice the idiot who dared to pierce the window paper and broke the balance!
After all, the Jinyiwei under Lao Zhu's hands is not just for nothing.

A person who can calculate his salary so carefully that he can just live a life, will not be able to see that the lives of those ministers do not match their income?
If the water is clear, there will be no fish. Does he not understand this truth?
It’s okay to kill the classics, but if you really want to be strict and follow the law, you will kill them all, and there will be no living people in the court!

What Liu Tongzhi is afraid of now is that he will be reported to the court as a typical example.

Just when he was on tenterhooks, a questioning voice came from above.

"Prefect Huang, do you think this king is right?"
