Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 739: Private Plan
Hangzhou late at night is no longer as prosperous as it was during the day.

The cold wind howled.

The coldness made people shiver.

The Integrity Bureau has set up a resident office.

Main hall.

"I really didn't expect that Zhou Zhitai's identity would be so complicated." Ni Wenhuan had a complicated expression. He put down the teacup in his hand, glanced at Cui Chengxiu and said.

"If that's the case, then the people I arrested by the Integrity Bureau are just the beginning, even if all their nine clans are arrested."

"Yes."

Tian Ji followed closely and said: "The anti-tax incident in Zhejiang involves the central government and the local government. I am afraid that there are countless people of all kinds involved."

"If Zhou Zhitai is really a Donglin Party student in the court, then this matter becomes even more complicated. We have no idea who this person is and what his purpose is."

"besides…"

Li Kuilong frowned and said in a low voice: "Based on the current situation we have, Zhejiang's tax resistance is closely related to the Lianghuai banditry. This confirms the various malpractices in the past investigations into the grain transport."

"Now they've dragged up the issue of smuggling along the Yangtze River, the occupation of government farmland, the misappropriation of textile factories, the smuggling of salt and iron, and so many other things. It's going to take forever to investigate this!!"

When the fog that obscures the truth is dispelled little by little and the unknown secrets are revealed, then a storm will follow!

Ni Wenhuan, Tian Ji, Li Kuilong and others all knew one thing: there were too many unknown secrets in the southeastern provinces controlled by the Ming Dynasty.

One of these secrets is known to everyone in the officialdom, but everyone has to pretend not to know it.

Family marriage!

There are too many families with rich heritage under the jurisdiction of the southeastern provinces of the Ming Dynasty, and the small group standing at the top of the tower are the famous and prestigious families! !
Their families have models worthy of praise, a reputation that lives on in the present, countless fields, a collection of various classics, a clan school that cultivates talents, and hidden industries...

People who come from the above family backgrounds, even if they have no fame or official career, can still make a living with their invisible influence.

"So you are scared?"

Cui Chengxiu lifted his sleeves, picked up the teacup beside him, and looked at Tian Ji and the others calmly, "You are right. Some of the culprits who manipulated the tax resistance in Zhejiang have been arrested by our Integrity Bureau. However, through interrogation of them, more things will be revealed next."

“Canal transportation, this is just the beginning.”

"Let's not beat around the bush. I will investigate this matter thoroughly. Unless there is a verbal order from Your Majesty, I am ready to stay in the Southeast for a few years!!"

A word stirred up a thousand waves.

Tian Ji and Li Kuilong's expressions changed drastically. Having worked with Cui Chengxiu, they knew their own Lian Xian's temper too well. Once something was said in public, there was no possibility of changing it.

But if we stay in the Southeast for a few years, how many trends will be stirred up and how much blood will be shed.

Even though they were ruthless, Tian Ji and Li Kuilong were somewhat restless when they thought about what kind of forbidden things they would touch in the future. "Lian Xian, even if we are investigating the case under the order of the emperor, there is no need to do this, right?" Wu Chunfu, who had been silent all this time, looked at Cui Chengxiu and said.

Like Li Kuilong, Wu Chunfu was from Quanzhou Prefecture in Fujian. They had a more thorough understanding of some things in the southeastern provinces than Cui Chengxiu.

In this land south of the Yangtze River, anyone with some background, no matter what their origins, values ​​their clan more than anything else, even if it means sacrificing their lives!
"no need?"

Cui Chengxiu stared at Wu Chunfu with a half-smile, "I have a few reports from the capital, you can take a look first and you will know whether it is necessary or not!"

Having said this, Cui Chengxiu put down the teacup and clapped his hands. Under the surprised gaze of several people, a man walked in with his head lowered, holding several official reports in his hands.

"You guys take a look first."

Cui Chengxiu lifted his robe and stood up. Under the gaze of several people, he turned and walked towards the back hall. "After you have finished reading, we will discuss it together."

Ok?
Tian Ji and his companions became even more suspicious!
Cui Chengxiu didn't care about the reactions of several people. He came to the back hall and went straight to a hanging map, which was a map of the southeastern provinces.

There are thin needles inserted in some places on this map, and thin colored lines are distributed everywhere in a jagged pattern.

The black line represents the anti-tax trend in Zhejiang.

The places with the densest black lines are Hangzhou and Shaoxing, two prefectures under the jurisdiction of Zhejiang Province. It is also in these places that the Integrity Commission has arrested the most people.

The black lines extending from Zhejiang point to Nanzhili, one to Huguang, and one to Fujian!

It is true that there are many secrets in this world, but once something is done, no matter how deeply it is hidden, it is inevitable that it will leave traces.

What Secret fears most is people who are too picky.

Cui Chengxiu is just a very serious person!
"Stir it up, stir it up. I want to see how confident you are to go against the emperor." Cui Chengxiu looked at the colorful lines above, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"I'm afraid many of you didn't expect the great victory in Liaodong. You all wanted to use it to contain the court, but unfortunately you won't have the chance in the future."

"Qi Jin has been ordered to station in Nanjing, and I'm afraid he won't leave easily in the future. You guys have forgotten some blood feuds that can only be washed away with blood."

For Cui Chengxiu, he is a man who will not do anything without benefits. If there had not been some news sent back from Beijing, he would not have made the decision to expose this shocking secret.

After all, if things go wrong, the whole southeast will be in chaos. During the Jiajing period, many people were fanning the flames of the Japanese invasion. The Japanese pirates were just puppets on the surface. The eastern Japanese were so far away from the Ming Dynasty, how could they know so much about some places in the Ming Dynasty?
"Your Majesty actually set up a special procuratorate?! And assigned the power of major plans to the procuratorate?!!"

Just as Cui Chengxiu was thinking about it, a scream from the main hall brought Cui Chengxiu back to his senses. It was also this that made Cui Chengxiu's eyes become sharp.

Yes.

The special establishment of the Procuratorate not only stimulated the central level, but also had a greater impact on the local level, especially Cui Chengxiu, who was ordered to leave Beijing.

The Integrity Commission is a special one.

The procuratorate is a special one.

Cui Chengxiu couldn't help but think a lot in his heart. If he, as the Integrity Commissioner, could not lead the Commission and help the emperor solve his problems, would the Commission no longer be valued by the emperor one day?
Think about how powerful the Jinyiwei was in the past. Everyone in the world was afraid of the Jinyiwei's imperial edict, but what happened? The emergence of the East Jishi Factory, the West Jishi Factory, and the Great Internal Affairs Factory made the Jinyiwei a vassal. For Cui Chengxiu, he didn't want to become a vassal of anyone! He wanted to be a minister of the current emperor! !
