Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 713 Check Daming again

After hearing what the soldiers said, Pingan said goodbye to Shen Bin and followed the soldiers to the government office.

"General!"

Inside the government office, stood a guard wearing a flying fish robe and embroidered spring knife, and he bowed his hands politely.

He Pingping returned the gift, but he didn't dare to offend the Jin Yiwei, for fear that they would leave some unflattering words on the memorial to Zhu Yuanzhang and ask: "Excuse me, my lord, what are your orders?"

Jin Yiwei was flattered and said: "I am just a general bannerman. I don't dare to be called 'sir'. When I came to be naturalized, I have something to ask General Ping for help."

They Jinyiwei actually have something and need their help?
  Ping An was curious and asked, "What's going on?"

"During winter, officials in Xuanfu Town, Beiping, were corrupt."

"But despite the premise of great corruption, there was no particularly serious situation in Xuanfu Town. The reason was that a businessman named Tang spent all his wealth on disaster relief."

"His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun reopened the horse market, and the merchant surnamed Tang also brought a caravan to Guihua."

"His Highness thinks there is something wrong with this merchant, and there must be something complicated behind it. As for what we have found out, we cannot tell General Ping for the time being."

"Our brothers, watching the merchants come to Guihua, accidentally exposed something, and can no longer follow."

"It will take a certain amount of time until the next batch of new-faced brothers arrive. During this period, we cannot relax our surveillance. We can only ask General Ping to borrow a few smart people."

The Jin Yiwei explained.

Things in Xuanfu Town have calmed down.

But Jin Yiwei's actions have not subsided yet. They have many things to investigate, and the water is very deep. No one except Jin Yiwei can control it.

How to check and what are the results.

That is Jin Yiwei's secret.

Ping An didn't want to know either. After hearing what Jin Yiwei said, he cooperated and said, "Come here, send my cronies over."

"Thank you, General Ping!"

The Jinyiwei said gratefully.

At the same time, he sent someone to send some letters south and send them back to Zhu Xuan to inform him of the investigation results in Xuanfu Town before taking the next step. However, it was necessary to keep an eye on the merchant named Tang.

-

Ying days.

Zhu Yuanzhang got the letter sent back by Zhu Xuan and couldn't help but became furious.

Forget about corrupt officials, the worst case scenario is to kill them.

However, the descendants of those old friends made him very uneasy. In the past, he could forgive some small fights before the latest decree was issued.

After the new government decree is issued, as long as you don't do what is prohibited by the government decree, you won't be held accountable so much.

Erasing many things casually and treating them as if they had never happened was a way of protecting and respecting his nobles. However, those nobles did not realize his good intentions and regarded tolerance as connivance.

Make them pay taxes and they find ways to evade them.

As an honorable Ming Dynasty official, Zhu Yuanzhang could not bear it no matter how tolerant he was.

"It is said that Wang Min, Hu Guan, Ding Zhong and Wu Gao came to the palace to see us!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.

These four people were the sons of those four families who stayed in the capital to serve as officials.

They are all in Yingtian at this time.

After hearing this, Yun Qi immediately arranged for the eunuch from the Pingren Department to summon him.

After waiting for a long time, Wang Min and the four of them finally arrived at the main hall. After they finished saluting, they noticed that Zhu Yuanzhang's face was ugly, as if he was angry or something, and they felt uneasy and didn't know what to do.

"Well done to you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand and threw the letter sent back by Zhu Xuan, and said: "Pick it up and take a look."

The four of them were very confused, even more uneasy, and at the same time very scared. They carefully picked up the letters. Before they could read them, they were shocked all over and knelt down to kowtow.

"I deserve to die!"

"I didn't know that this would happen in my family. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"I don't know anything about what my brother did. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" 　　　……

The four of them were almost frightened out of their wits. They hurriedly explained the matter and tried every means to shirk the responsibility. If they were to investigate further, their family might be destroyed.

"A crime?"

"Damn?"

"Then we will kill you all now. Are you afraid of death?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a sneer.

They immediately kowtowed vigorously, covered in cold sweat, their clothes were almost wet, and there were sweat beads on their foreheads and the tips of their noses, and together they begged Lao Zhu to let him go.

Afraid of death, that's for sure.

"You really don't know what you are doing at home?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled coldly, completely distrustful of their words, and said: "Wu Gao, do you know? The rewards we have given to your Wu family are enough for you to be rich for generations. Your Wu family is still so poor." Our hearts.”

Wu Gao first kowtowed hard, banging the floor tiles with his forehead.

"Say!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted angrily.

Wu Gao originally wanted to quibble, but when he heard the majestic voice and was suppressed by the terrifying and fierce aura of the superior, he didn't even dare to lie. His voice trembled and he said: "I know, I know it."

"Now that you know it, you still kill your relatives out of justice?"

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said: "Hello you guys! Do you know about the annexation of land and the oppression of the people except Wu Gao?"

"Your Majesty, I also know that I deserve to die."

Ding Zhong said immediately.

"I also know it."

Hu Guan couldn't stand it anymore and told everything he knew.

Wang Min wanted to hold on for a while, but seeing the three of them rushing to confess, he also confessed.

It is impossible for them not to know.

Without their cover, the people over at Dingyuan wouldn't be able to do so many things.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang sneered again. He was completely disappointed with these nobles and said lightly: "If it weren't for our good grandson, we wouldn't know anything. Jiang Yu, take them down to investigate!"

They quickly begged for mercy, but in vain.

He was quickly taken away by Jin Yiwei.

"According to our instructions, the Ministry of Punishment will arrange officials to go to Dingyuan to investigate Dingyuan first, and then Fengyang. The Jinyi Guards will cooperate."

"We would like to see how many distinguished people are connected with those bald donkeys."

"After investigating Fengyang, the entire Ming Dynasty will be investigated!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice became colder and colder.

Yunqi and the people around him could not help but tremble for a long time after hearing this.

"Tell my good grandson again that he doesn't have to worry about Dingyuan's affairs. Ancestor worship is important."

Zhu Yuanzhang said again.

I didn't expect that I would get such a harvest when I went back to worship my ancestors, which was beyond Lao Zhu's expectation.

But this harvest is also very good!

Let him see how hateful the nobles are, and how bad those bald donkeys in Buddhist temples can be. Not only monks, but even Taoists are not very normal.

After the tax reform, he gave special preferential treatment to the Buddhist and Taoist families. The main reason was to accumulate merit for himself, so it seemed unnecessary.

"Let the officials from the Daolu Department and the Senglu Department come in."

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted.

He wanted to find out how many Buddhist temples and Taoist temples there were in the Ming Dynasty.

How many people collude with Buddhist temples and Taoist temples to evade taxes and treat their own government decrees as if they do not exist.
