Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 158 158 Fourth Master, I have captured the envoy for you

Deng Laifa, a newly promoted official in the Ministry of Punishment, was also shocked when he thought that his adoptive father Wang Bansheng had been to the Ministry of Works.

Then there is no doubt.

This bunch of people.

It was designated that he was caught taking bribes and bending the law.

He breathed a sigh of relief again. After all, we all hung out in the same county government office.

Wang Buli did not force him to spit out money, but transferred him to a higher-level government office.

Deng Laifa has always been grateful to Wang Buli for this matter.

The people in the Ministry of Industry looked at each other, wondering what was going on.

A group of people from the Ministry of Justice were talking a lot. They stood at the door and watched the man, and asked Deng Laifa, a familiar official:

"Do you know what's going on?"

"Of course Wang Bansheng has been here!"

Deng Lai made a speech and immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the corridor.

"Who is Wang Bansheng?"

"I haven't seen it before."

"Yeah, don't talk nonsense."

Hearing this, Deng Laifa was a little unhappy and immediately wanted to prove to his adoptive father:

"The new Prince Consort, Wang Buli, is known as Wang Bansheng among the people. He can tell who is lying with just one glance when deciding a case.

There is no charge for handling the case, and the people only need to bring half a liter of rice to make dry food on the road, and the case can be settled and settled.

Therefore, everyone in Jiangning County praised him, and no one was dissatisfied with the cases he judged. "

After Deng Laifa finished speaking, he was very proud of himself and looked proud of himself.

In the past, when we were both in the county government, everyone felt that Wang Buli had the limelight alone, but when it came to solving cases, everyone really didn't have much talent.

But once he broke out of his previous small circle, Deng Laifa discovered that Wang Buli was his biggest backer.

Although he believed it unilaterally, others didn't know that he could live a slightly more comfortable life in the Ministry of Punishment.

Deng Laifa was very enthusiastic about praising Wang Buli.

He said to everyone: "Those people who were taken away from the Ministry of Industry, I dare to pat my chest and guarantee that as long as it is a case that I, Wang Bansheng of Jiangning County, won't be wronged!"

Only then did the Ministry of Industry and others think back.

The prince-in-law, Wang Buli, caught the emperor's eye after he cracked the counterfeit banknote case, and then he was recruited as his son-in-law.

Of course, this is external rhetoric.

No one knows the real intention except Lao Zhu's family of three.

Nowadays, there is such a "big boss" who comes to the Ministry of Works for a tour. He directly kills all the people in a sub-department of the Ministry of Works and asks the school inspector to take them all away.

If Wang Buli comes more often in the future, can the other three departments of the Ministry of Industry be saved?

The most important thing is that he is going to visit the other movies, and everyone can’t stand it!

The news that Wang Buli came to the Ministry of Industry and took away everyone from one sub-department quickly spread to the other five departments.

Good guy.

The new prince-in-law is also quite powerful.

Even the uninformed Prime Minister Hu Weiyong knew about this and really had a better understanding of Wang Buli's ability to solve cases.

"Your Majesty is inserting a cunning bearded catfish into the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty."

Hu Weiyong sighed secretly in his heart, wishing that he would recruit Wang Buli as his son-in-law and marry his legitimate daughter.

Wang Buli's role has become more and more obvious.

It seems that I will have to be more careful in the future.

Mr. Qian Tang, the Minister of Punishment, was also called by Prince Zhu Biao to try the case.

Only then did he realize that Wang Buli had uncovered corrupt officials in the Ministry of Works, and that all his sub-departments had been wiped out in one fell swoop.

good boy.

What a shame to our Minister of Punishment!

I told them that other departments don't pay attention to me on weekdays, and they often bully people.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry presided over the review.

Wang Buli and Qian Tang were on the jury.

As for Prince Zhu Biao, he sat aside and listened.

"Xue Shangshu, we were wronged, wronged!"

The hall was full of people who complained about injustice, and no one did not say that he had not been wronged.

Now I just think that if I don't let go, I can get through it.

After all, Xue Xiang can be described as a "soft-hearted god". He always takes the people at heart and is considerate of his subordinates.

Facing his weeping subordinates, Xue Xiang, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, immediately asked Wang Buli in a low voice: "How should the trial be conducted?"

Wang Buli actually thought about it and realized that this group of officials had taken advantage of a loophole in the law.

The "Gong Lv" of the Ming Dynasty is divided into two volumes, "Construction" and "River Defense", with thirteen articles.

It is about legislation on engineering construction, government construction, river defense, roads, and bridges.

The establishment of a special chapter on industrial laws was unique to the Ming Dynasty.

However, most of them were against officials who embezzled court funds, and there was no legal protection at all for those who served in labor force.

"In this case, we will try it separately. Just tell them that as long as it is corruption, you will have to peel off the day lily for 60 taels. It will be a death.

Let them first admit it on their own initiative and strive for leniency. Whoever speaks first will live. In any case, they will be asked to do hard labor. "

Prisoner's Dilemma.

Everyone is afraid that the other party will betray them, and then take the initiative to demand meritorious service and leniency.

Wang Buli bet that this group of people were not monolithic, and it was okay for everyone to enjoy wealth.

But there are still people who are unwilling to die together, so they stab the group in the back.

Qian Tang, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the small talk, but he was very experienced.

It seems that Xue Xiang is not aggressive in solving cases at the local level. He is mostly subsidizing the people and letting them work hard in peace and stability.

Xue Xiang patted the gavel and directly ordered one person to be left behind, while the rest were detained separately.

Whoever confesses first will be spared death.

Zhu Biao also saw the three people on the presiding desk chatting. It was only after Wang Buli's mouth stopped moving that Xue Xiang began to have an idea.

In fact, Xue Xiang only left one person alone after what he said just now, and the others were already panicking. Some people couldn't help shouting:

"I'll recruit them all."

Then a stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Everyone did not dare to hold on any longer and broke the news one after another.

Wang Buli looked at the surprised look of the good old man Xue Xiang, leaned on the chair and still waved.

Ask the inspector to pull the rest of the people down, leaving only one person to explain slowly. Whoever explains more will have a chance to survive.

Even Mao Xiang was extremely surprised by Wang Buli's methods today.

Wang Buli listened to corrupt officials talk about their regrets, but he was actually used to them sitting on the regret chairs instead of kneeling on the ground and crying.

Most of these people regretted that they were caught. Before that, they had no regrets, but were very proud.

Wang Buli seemed to be indifferent, but Zhu Yuanzhang behind the scenes was so angry that he couldn't suppress the thought of killing these dogs.

Zhu Yuanzhang had no sympathy for those who died in labor service, because Liu Bowen had long advised him that the labor intensity of the people who served in labor service was too high, and no one was there to collect the bodies of these people when they died of exhaustion.

But Zhu Yuanzhang's main idea is to just say what he wants, so I won't listen to him.

At the same time, those officials who exposed themselves to the idea of ​​corrupt officials also thought of Ye Boju, who was thrown into Jiangning County Prison and starved to death.

One of his ten thousand words to persuade Lao Zhu was to elaborate on it, hoping that Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor, could reduce torture and treat scholars leniently.

Among them, it was mentioned that after scholars became officials, they were easily caught in the law and killed directly. They did not treat talents as talents or people as human beings.

Old Zhu was so angry that he wanted to kill the man himself to relieve his anger, but Zhu Biao persuaded him to stop him. How could anyone who became emperor kill someone himself?

Therefore, what Zhu Yuanzhang was angry about was not the "work slaves" who died in hard labor, but the officials who dared to commit corruption.

In terms of solving the case, Wang Buli really didn't say anything. In Zhu Biao's view, he was the one who crushed everyone.

Sign and stamp the confession, and it’s the next one’s turn.

Wang Buli even stood up and invited Qian Tang, the Minister of Punishment, to go to the toilet to drain the water.

Anyway, they all started confessing, so there was no need for a jury in the case.

Qian Tang also accepted the invitation and left the good old Xue Xiang to continue the interrogation.

Xue Xiang felt extremely uncomfortable. His own kindness had been taken advantage of by his subordinates. All the benefits that he wanted to spread to those who served in the labor force were all corrupted by these people.

He was so angry that he wanted to hit them directly.

Qian Tang was getting older, and there was nothing he wanted to compare with Wang Buli, a young man who peeed quickly and rushed.

His grandsons are all older than Wang Buli.

After the two washed their hands, they stayed in the corridor: "How did you tell?"

"If you talk to those who are doing labor service, you will know how tricky it is."

"So simple?"

"It's that simple." Wang Buli shook the water in his hand:

"After many people become officials, they feel superior to others and no longer want to talk to the people. Everyone has to look up to him. How can he know the real situation when he is surrounded by compliments he wants to hear?"

Qian Tang was silent for a long time while stroking his beard. He finally understood clearly what was different about Wang Buli.

Although this son is a high-ranking Prince Consort, he has no intention of flattering the powerful and senior officials, and he will not yell at the people at the bottom, looking aloof and condescending.

What's more, Qian Tang didn't dare to say that Wang Buli was actually not that afraid of imperial power.

This kid was obviously born in a doctor's family, how could he be so brave?

Fortunately, he became His Majesty's son-in-law, otherwise, if he were left among the people, we don't know what kind of turmoil it would cause!

Of course, according to the tradition left over from the Yuan Dynasty, ministers were never very loyal to the emperor.

It is almost impossible to find anyone who has devoted himself to the emperor and died.

After so many years, everyone has understood the truth.

The emperor will change his family in a few hundred years, but we people still have to live, there is no need to die with the royal family.

In addition, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty did not pay much attention to scholars.

Who the hell is a loyal minister in Dayuan?

There is no need at all. If you pay money to the Yuan Dynasty, you will become the emperor of the earth.

"Plough, why do you think these people can't control their own hands?"

"It's human nature." Wang Buli patted his chest:

"Even though I am a low-ranking official from the ninth rank, I just carry out the orders and show my power in my Dianshi Yamen. If anyone dares to disobey me, I will slap a few little mouths."

Although Qian Tang is not very good at singing and dancing, he still laughs when hearing Wang Buli's rhyming words.

"Hahaha, interesting and interesting."

Wang Buli pointed to the ground and said, "If there was a box of gold in front of you, would you be unable to hold back your hand and touch it?"

"I have no desires anymore." Qian Tang stroked his beard and smiled: "If I were younger, maybe I would be extremely excited."

"Hahaha."

Hu Weiyong sent people to check what was going on in the hall, and they all rushed to get the report.

"This kid's ability to solve crimes is terrifying!"

Hu Weiyong couldn't help but praise.

Chen Ning had a cold face, but what he was thinking in his heart was that this person needed to be kicked out of the capital as soon as possible.

It's best to go to Peking.

It was so close to the Mongols that he might die in battle one day.

If he has been allowed to stay in the capital, he may not be able to live peacefully in the future.

It’s not as if the Ministry of Works didn’t have their people, so no one was left alive and they were all arrested.

Wang Buli's style of doing things is very consistent with Lao Zhu's behavior, that is, he is not very merciful.

Tu Jie's face is not very good-looking, and the people under him are not clean either.

From now on, Wang Buli must not be allowed to come into contact with his subordinates, lest he be easily tricked.

"Shang Shu Qian, I won't go back. Please ask the prince for a leave of absence for me."

Qian Tang stared and said, "Don't be so rude."

"No, no, no, it's mainly because my home is far away from the Imperial City and it's almost dark. I can't violate the curfew. I've already investigated this case clearly and there's nothing else that needs my help."

"Then you should say goodbye to the prince in person."

Qian Tang didn't want Wang Buli to leave an image of being arrogant and arrogant. He couldn't explain some speculations clearly, but the little brother would still have a long life in officialdom in the future.

Young people must not be young and energetic, otherwise they will suffer big losses.

The party struggle in the Hongwu Dynasty was not weak at all.

It's just that the Huaixi Group currently has a huge advantage, but Qian Tang also knows in his heart that no party can always benefit from the government, and he knows the truth that prosperity must decline.

When Wang Buli saw Qian Shangshu coming and tugging on his sleeve, he thought for a moment.

Because it was customary for him to ask for leave from his immediate superior. Reporting beyond the level was generally not allowed.

But this was Ming Dynasty, and his subconscious habits had not changed.

"Qian Shangshu is right, it's the boy Meng Lang."

Qian Tang then let go of his hand. Wang Buli was a good person. Although he had a lot of troubles, he only wanted to listen to his advice.

Compared with Zhu Yuanzhang's disobedience, it was too difficult for the person who advised him.

There are things that should be said or not, and no one can figure out what Lao Zhu is thinking.

The person who could most easily understand Lao Zhu's thoughts died of illness last year.

In this way, no ministers can guess Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts.

The fight in the court became more and more fierce.

After listening to Wang Buli's words, Prince Zhu Biao nodded and indicated that he could leave. Otherwise, his father would be behind the screen all the time, which would not be good.

Besides, this matter is not within the scope of Wang Buli's authority, so there is no need for him to continue to stir up trouble.

When Wang Buli left the palace gate, the soldiers guarding the city gave him a strange look.

In the past, Wang Buli had the reputation of being a god in solving cases. Everyone only heard about it and felt that way.

But today Wang Buli showed his hand in the imperial city, and what happened around everyone became clear at once.

"sure!"

Ping An personally brought Wang Buli a lame horse and helped him mount the horse: "If there is any sign of corruption in our army in the future, I will definitely look for you."

"Don't look for it. If you look for corruption in the military, I could easily be killed by someone ordered by some corrupt generals."

Wang Buli pulled his reins and directly rejected Ping An.

Ping An was stunned when he heard this, and understood Wang Buli's worries. He nodded and said: "I understand, I won't come to you in a big way for this kind of thing in the future."

"Well, Xiao Heizi, let's go and go home for dinner."

Wang Buli knocked the horse's belly lightly, and the posthorse walked forward slowly.

Yima was a big black horse, so Wang Buli gave it a nickname. After all, according to the tradition of the Ming Dynasty, it was probably the tradition that a nickname made it easier to make a living.

When Wang Buli reached halfway, he was stopped by Jiang Huan before he could go to the county government office.

"Fourth Master, the brothers patrolled according to your instructions and captured a few spies in the county who were short and short and could not speak Chinese."

Wang Buli tugged on the reins and looked suspicious: "Are you sure that people who can't speak Chinese can be spies?"

Jiang Huan was stunned when Wang Buli asked him. A spy must integrate into local life in order to find out the news.

If you can’t even speak Chinese, then you’re still trying to pry!

"Well, anyway, the brothers are very happy that they have caught the spy. Please come and find the Fourth Master quickly."

Wang Buli had no choice but to let Jiang Huan lead the horse and walk to his government office.

In Dianshi Yamen, many people were watching the excitement.

These three people have been handcuffed by experienced police officers with conjoined shackles.

When Wang Buli entered the courtyard, a group of people shouted that the Fourth Master was here and came to see him.

Catcher Zhong Niu was also extremely excited: "Fourth Master, let's catch a few suspicious people."

Wang Buli got off his horse and asked, "How were they caught?"

"They just said the word "Imperial City" and didn't say anything else. We suspect that they want to find out the location of the Imperial City and assassinate His Majesty."

After hearing this, Wang Buli observed these people carefully, and then thought for a while: "Do you think it is possible that these people are envoys from other countries?"

Many people in the county government office who were waiting to receive the reward were all paralyzed.

He couldn't speak Chinese, and he was short, dark and thin. He didn't look like a Han Chinese at first glance.

When several people saw the person in charge coming, they hurriedly said words that Wang Buli couldn't understand. Unfortunately, it was of no use at all.

Wang Buli felt that these three people were particularly attracted to people from Southeast Asia, but he didn't know anything about Savadika.

"What if it's someone from another tribe?" Zhong Niu said with some uncertainty:

"Fourth Master, is it possible?"

Some ethnic minority people don’t even speak Chinese.

But generally these people will not leave their living place, nor will they come to Nanjing.

"Send someone to the Huitong Pavilion to find a translator. Tell them that we have captured suspected foreign envoys and describe them."

"Yes."

Zhong Niu took Wang Buli's token and went to work quickly.

"Fourth Master, do you need to let them all go?"

"No need."

Wang Buli sat aside, shook his head and said:

"Until the interpreter arrives, their identities cannot be determined. If you want to inquire about the palace, it must be taboo."

"Ok."

Jiang Huan didn't say much, and immediately moved a chair for Wang Buli and asked him to sit down and wait for the news.

Zhitou Zhongniu risked the curfew and ran to the side of the imperial city, holding the waistband of Wang Buli's Prince Consort, saying that he had something important to report.

Ping An felt strange that he hadn't changed his shift yet. Wang Buli had just left not long ago.

What emergency happened?
