The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 14 Zhu Yuanzhang secretly investigates Mr. Ye, and Mr. Ye clearly investigates Zhu Yuanzhang!
Xiao Er couldn't remember exactly how many people this was the first group of people who asked him about military affairs.

It can be said to be quite a familiar routine!
These people first went to the private room to show their wealth, and then tipped a lot of money, and then started to inquire about insignificant business news, as well as news about their Master Ye.

After chatting for a while, I started to inquire about the really valuable news, that is, the confidential military and political news.

For such a person, he usually sold the person after collecting money!
Because Yanmen is located on the border, it can be said that they are fighting wits and courage with Beiyuan spies all the time, so Master Ye attaches great importance to the subject of 'anti-spy'!
So,
The super anti-espionage awareness has long been deeply planted in the bones of the people of Yanmen County, and if they feel something is wrong, they will directly report it to the spy team.

As for whether they are real Beiyuan spies, that is a matter for the secret service team, they have their own screening methods.

And the end of these people, most of them became the free labor of their Master Ye, they can also be called reform-through-labour prisoners!

Just when Xiaoer was thinking like this, Zhu Yuanzhang answered his question with deep eyes: "We used to be veterans who fought with His Majesty, so we are so interested in this aspect."

"Is there anything I can't say?"

After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the teacup next to him. Although he drank the tea, he couldn't feel the taste of the tea soup, because he focused all his attention on Xiao Er's next answer.

In his opinion, this is what he cares most about!
It is also a question that cannot be forgiven once it touches his bottom line!

His bottom line is that 'military administration must be separated'. The civil administration of the county government is under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate, but the garrison in the jurisdiction must be under the jurisdiction of the generals appointed by the imperial court.

Military households' farming and other civil affairs are under the jurisdiction of the magistrate, but the military training and operations of military households must not be at the mercy of the county magistrate.

But judging from Wanglou's errands in managing street law and order, it was simply the work of soldiers acting as yamen servants.

If it's just him, Ye Qing, discussing with the local generals and getting the generals' consent, then there's nothing to say.

But once the county magistrate empties the general and the general obeys him, there is no reason to say that he must die!

Just after Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Xiao Er just smiled faintly.

In his opinion, this is the familiar routine.

Xiaoer just reminded me in a friendly way: "I advise you not to inquire about military and political news, this is the border."

As for the consequences of their continued inquiry, he will not talk about it, as long as he is worthy of the 50 taels of silver he earned.

As soon as the words fell, Xiaoer left on his own!
Not to mention that Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't call back, and he, Zhu Yuanzhang, would never call again!
There is no other reason,

Because he was basically sure that Ye Qing got involved in military affairs, and it was very likely that he violated Zhu Yuanzhang's big taboo.

This is indeed a border area, and Beiyuan spies come and go from time to time, but he didn't ask about too confidential things, they were just things on the surface.

Can't even ask about things that are on the bright side and can be seen when you look up?

Isn't it a bit 'there is no silver 300 taels here'!

Because Xiao Er is not only a commoner of Yanmen, but also an employee of Ye Qing, the real boss of this restaurant, so he is even more suspicious of Ye Qing's involvement in military affairs.

In his opinion, Ye Qing has done so 'too much' to guard against spies, it is very likely that in addition to guarding against Beiyuan spies, he is also guarding against private visits from above!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang fell into deep thought again, his suspicious character was completely betrayed by his eyes!
Of course, there are no outsiders here, so he can completely expose his true nature!
Empress Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was in deep thought, and just sighed helplessly. She couldn't control Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicious character, and he had to figure it out by himself.

Of course, as an emperor, being suspicious is not necessarily a bad thing, but Zhu Yuanzhang's being suspicious is really a bit too much!

Besides, Empress Ma also thinks that Zhu Yuanzhang's bottom line is not wrong!
Regardless of the crime of engaging in business as an official, it was Zhu Yuanzhang's unprecedented decision.

He only hoped that Ye Qing would never use his official status to open brothels and gambling houses. Once he got involved in such unscrupulous businesses, it would be enough to prove that his intentions were completely wrong and he deserved to be killed!

If you dare to get involved in military affairs as a civil servant, you must be killed!

These two bottom lines must not be stepped on!

But judging from the clues he has so far, Ye Qing is very likely to step on Zhu Yuanzhang's bottom line.

To open brothels and gambling houses in the jurisdiction, must follow his guidance?
There is too much room for manipulation in this!

A soldier who works as a government servant?

There are indeed too many twists and turns!
You have to do a secret investigation, after you have done a thorough investigation, it's time to showdown with Ye Qing.

Whether to directly kill Ye Qing, or promote him to Beijing, and help Zhu Yuanzhang restrain Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong, depends on the results of the subsequent secret investigation.

But as far as Empress Ma is concerned, he still has great confidence in Ye Qing.

If Ye Qing really knew the law and broke the law, stepped on Zhu Yuanzhang's bottom line in every way, how dare he write the assessment self-evaluation as a self-report letter?
She didn't believe that someone would really rush to die!

If you really want to die, there is absolutely no need to go to His Majesty the Emperor to beg for death!
It's not easy to want to die, don't you just wipe your neck?
Wiping the neck by yourself is much easier than the death method given by Zhu Yuanzhang, it is a death method of enjoyment level!

Because of this,
She still firmly believes that Ye Qing's purpose in writing such a self-report letter is exactly what she thought.

The suspicion that has been aroused now can be said to be a misunderstanding.

Just clear up the misunderstanding!
Thinking of this, Empress Ma picked up the "Yanmen County Business Travel Guide" again, and looked straight at the red star drawn on the guide map, which was the location of the Yanmen County Government Office!
Empress Ma looked at the red star, her mind was full of what she saw and heard that represented Ye Qing's outstanding political achievements.

"Ye Qing,"

"Don't disappoint Your Majesty!"

Just as the two of them were thinking about it, all the meals they ordered in the beef shop box, which had nothing to do with cattle, were served.

Smelling the aroma of the food, the thinking of Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma was immediately interrupted.

Suddenly, a large portion of 'Roasted Beef with Radish' was carried past their door.

Smelling the smell of meat that they had never smelled before, the three of them looked straight at the past, and the dishes in front of them suddenly lost some flavor.

After a while,

After Zhu Yuanzhang swallowed his saliva secretly, he was about to start eating coldly.

But looking at the two people on the left and right of him, the word 'no prospect' was about to burst out.

But in the end, he still looked at Mao Xiang and reprimanded him seriously: "Is this what you want?"

"eat,"

"Come out with us after eating!"

Just as they were frowning and starting to move, the captain of the special agent team who was in charge of monitoring Zhu Yuanzhang and his party approached the waiter and asked for details.

Sure enough, they wanted to inquire about military and political news.

And Xiaoer's sentence, "Especially the old man, when he talked about military and political affairs, his eyes are bright, the kind that are like thieves", helped the secret service team a lot, and also helped Zhu Yuanzhang and his party. !
"You guys, don't expose yourself, take good care of people!"

"I'm going to see Master Ye in person!".
