Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 846: It's Greed! It's Desire!
There is nothing difficult in this world. The difficult thing is always people. Because of people, things become complicated. What causes all this must be greed and desire. Things are difficult because if you want to get things done, you have to work with people first. If you don't sort these out, no matter how simple the thing is, it will be difficult to accomplish.

"Haha... you really think highly of me, and of our ICAC!"

Zhejiang.

Hangzhou city.

Cui Chengxiu leaned against the official chair with a half-smile in his eyes, but his eyes flashed with coldness, "If it doesn't work once, then try it many times. Haha, now it's all right. No one from my Integrity Bureau dares to go to Ningbo, Taizhou, and Wenzhou anymore. The clues we found are cut off just like that!!"

Li Kuilong and his companions had complicated expressions. They looked at each other, but at this moment, they didn't know what to say.

"Lian Xian, why don't you wait a little longer?"

Tian Ji pondered for a moment, then looked at Cui Chengxiu and said, "News has been sent back from Nanjing that the troops in the Beijing camp under Qi Jin's command are rushing to cross the river and head south."

"I know you are angry, but the current situation is so complicated that it affects not only Zhejiang, but also Nanzhili and other places."

"how?"

After hearing this, Cui Chengxiu glanced at Tian Ji and the others, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you all scared?"

"Lian Xian, this is really not what I am waiting for."

Li Kuilong's Adam's apple moved, and he said with a complicated expression: "If you were really afraid, when we were investigating the smuggling in the Yangtze River, the occupation of government farmland, the misappropriation of textiles, the smuggling of salt and iron, etc., then I would not have taken it on."

"The current situation is that Zhejiang is in chaos again. A place that shouldn't be in chaos is in chaos again. Lian Xian, don't you think this is strange?"

"Of course it's weird!"

Cui Chengxiu said with a haughty look: "Because some people are afraid! They are afraid that the Commission for Discipline Inspection will continue to investigate further, so they use the so-called Japanese rebellion to cause chaos in Zhejiang, just like the tax resistance that occurred in the past."

"It's just that they were desperate and should never have killed our people from the Integrity Bureau. They were killed by the Japanese. Haha, damn it, this is a disgrace to the court! !"

Having said this, Cui Chengxiu slammed the table and stood up angrily.

Li Kuilong and his companions stood there nervously when they saw this. To be honest, they had never thought from beginning to end that someone would dare to attack the Integrity Commission directly.

This seems to be cutting off some things in such a simple and crude way.

But this just makes things more complicated!

The people from the Anti-Corruption Commission are dead.

Quite a few died.

Yes.

Since the establishment of the Integrity Commission, it has had a bad reputation among the government and the public. There have been all kinds of unpleasant things said about it, including cruel officials in power and evil officials running rampant.

Even Cui Chengxiu and others were not even qualified to be officials in charge of the imperial court.

This shows how some people resist the Commission for Integrity.

If it were not for the Integrity Commission, the Ming Dynasty would not have had multiple procuratorates, let alone separated the Beijing inspection plan and merged the six departments into the Metropolitan Inspection Commission.

Many things have changed inadvertently.

But no matter what, the death of the people from the Integrity Commission has completely changed the nature of the situation!! "When I decided to investigate these things, I thought that Nanzhili would be in chaos, Fujian would be in chaos, and Huguang would be in chaos. After all, smuggling in the Yangtze River, encroachment on official land, misappropriation of textiles, smuggling of salt and iron... most of the things I found out were inextricably linked to these places."

Cui Chengxiu gritted his teeth and said, "But, I still misjudged human nature. Greed and desire have completely distorted some people!!"

"In order to block the Commission for Integrity and stop us from continuing our investigation, they chose to cause chaos in Zhejiang, and even did this to confuse the public!"

"I don't know whether the rebellion in Fujian and Jiangxi is related to Zhejiang, but I do know one thing: I'm afraid that the rebellion in some places in Fujian and Jiangxi was instigated by someone."

Li Kuilong and the others lowered their heads.

When they went south to Zhejiang with Cui Chengxiu earlier, they had no fear in their hearts. In their eyes, if they could successfully resist the tax in Zhejiang and investigate the grain transport system at the same time, with these achievements, they would surely have a stronger foundation in the court when they return north in the future.

But the longer they stayed, the more things they checked, and the more fear they began to feel.

If it hadn't been for the incident in Zhejiang this time, and if Fujian and Jiangxi hadn't had incidents at the same time, if the things they had investigated in depth had really been reported to the central government, half of the sky would have collapsed in the southeastern provinces!
"You asked me to wait a moment. Okay, then I have a question for you: Can you wait for the imperial court to be trampled on?" Cui Chengxiu flicked his sleeves and stared at them coldly.

"You don't really think that the emperor, who was far away in the capital, was shocked to hear that there were Japanese pirates invading Zhejiang, so he asked Qi Jin to lead the army to suppress the Japanese pirates, and asked Man Gui and others to lead the Beijing camp to the south to suppress the Japanese pirates, right?"

"If it's really that simple, why did the Western Investigation Bureau also go south? There is also the Japanese Suppression Joint Branch Office, and the Emperor Mingzong Army led by Lu Xiangsheng."

"Do you need me to continue?"

Li Kuilong and the others' heartbeats quickened.

They have been in great pain during this period. There are many things they understand and many truths they have thought of a long time ago, but they are unwilling to admit them.

This situation is getting more and more chaotic.

"I'm telling you the truth!"

Cui Chengxiu said with a cold face: "The more it is now, the more we must make our position clear. Otherwise, I don't know whether the Anti-Corruption Commission exists or not, but you, including me, must get out of the Anti-Corruption Commission."

"Do you dare to take off the official robes of the Integrity Commission?"

"Dare you?!"

dare not.

After hearing what Cui Chengxiu said, Li Kuilong and the others all thought in their hearts that if they lost their official positions, based on what they had done before, there would be countless people who would want to kill them!
"Lian Xian, what should we do next?"

Ni Wenhuan said at this moment: "Because of what happened in Zhejiang and other places, many people who were sent out have been recalled, and the investigation has to be suspended."

"Some people are really too courageous."

Wu Chunfu followed closely and said, "I never thought that in addition to Zhejiang, they would also reach out to the South Grand Canal to block the news."

The canal's responsibility is not just to transport grain and silver to the north. It also has a hidden but crucial responsibility, which is to strengthen the connection between the north and the south.

“Since everything is back in Zhejiang, let’s start from Zhejiang!”

Cui Chengxiu sneered, "We investigated a lot of things before, so as not to alert the enemy, so we didn't arrest anyone. But now, since we have torn our relationship, let's arrest people. We can arrest a lot of people in Zhejiang alone. Fortunately, we gathered refugees in many places in Zhejiang before, which made some people afraid to act rashly. Otherwise, we can't even stay in Zhejiang!! "
