Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 83 Killing the Monkey and Showing It to the Chicken (Summon Monthly Pass)
The reason why a conspiracy is a conspiracy is that it cannot see the light. It is as insidious as a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to rush out and bite people. In broad daylight, a conspiracy is like a snake under the claws of a goshawk, only to die, and in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies are powerless little things.

Chen Yao disappeared and all his entourage were killed. All the local officials were panic-stricken and didn't know what happened. They sent a large number of people to help those behind the scenes in the capital. To solve the case and try to find the missing Chen Yao, of course, after several days of busy work, no clues were found.

Everyone is not a fool. Naturally, some people suspect that Yinzuo, the imperial envoy, did it, but no one dared to go to the station to search. Dong Anguo, the governor of the river channel, and Sang E, the governor of the water transport, have personally come forward to visit Yinzuo's place. The tone of the mouth, but all the doors were shut - Yinzuo was sick and didn't see any customers.

Yinzuo's illness lasted for four or five days, but the officials who started him were very anxious-most of the big guys' offices were in other places, and they came all the way to meet the imperial envoy prince, so they planned to do it in two or three days. It's over in one day, and after fooling Yinzuo, everyone is still in a hurry to go back to their posts to make money.But no matter how anxious they are, it's useless. If the royal envoy doesn't speak for a day, the big guys can't leave Qingjiangpu for a day. No, there have been countless meetings and collusion meetings with officials. They have tried everything, but there is no trick. If it works, the big guys can only wait patiently for Yin Zuo to recover.

The day before the beginning of winter in the 35th year of Kangxi, the officials, big and small, who had been waiting impatiently, finally got the news: the imperial envoy Prince Yinzuo, who had been ill for seven days, would formally meet with various officials at the Yamen of He Zongsi the next morning.The minds of the big guys have been relieved, and each of them hastily established an offensive and defensive alliance, just waiting for Yinzuo to be promoted, and to make some tricks to make Yinzuo feel uncomfortable.

The sunshine in early winter is not so bright, but it shines on the body continuously, which can give people some warmth.While enjoying the winter sunshine, the officials in the yamen of He Zongsi waited for Yinzuo to show up, and then gave Yinzuo a political lesson of "Unity is strength", and the big guy can go back to work and continue I'm happy, but I waited and waited, the sun was already high, and I didn't see Yinzuo's visit, which made the officials very anxious, just when I thought that Yinzuo let the pigeons go , Yinzuo came, took more than 300 guards, and came to the gate of He Zongsi's yamen in a mighty way in eight sedan chairs.

Yinzuo is an imperial envoy, and he is also the king of Elgo County. No matter how dissatisfied the big guy is, he dare not show it on his face, and he has to respectfully salute him.The ceremony was done, but Yinzuo didn't return the gift, and he didn't even hear the words of exempting the ceremony. What he heard was Yinzuo's loud shout: "Shengtang!"

Ascension?Which door to promote?Before the big guy could react, the group of Shanpuying soldiers lined up one by one, occupying the lobby of Director He, and drove out all the guards and servants who were standing in the office of Director He. outside.Before the kicker official understood, Yin Zuo was already sitting in the lobby of He Zongsi, and slapped the gavel. All the officials were startled by the heavy "pop", and hurriedly got up and stood up. In the audience, everyone's faces were full of doubts, and they couldn't understand which play Yinzuo was singing.

Dong Anguo, the highest-ranking governor of the river, stepped forward and greeted with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to the recovery of the lord, lord, you are..."

Hey, the old guy can't hold back anymore, he's still laughing now, but later you'll cry.Yin Zuo put on a serious face and said seriously: "I am ordered to investigate the matter of river engineering and water transportation. If someone not only embezzles and accepts bribes, but also loses money to the Treasury, according to Mr. Dong, how should I deal with it?"

"Ah? This, this..." Sweat poured out of Dong Anguo's face, his face was flushed with suffocation, he didn't know what to say, and the officer next to him seemed to have been stabbed. Like a wasp, they were buzzing loudly, and all of them had uneasy expressions on their faces.

Sang E relied on the support of the prince, and he had already colluded with the officials, so he was not afraid of Yinzuo's threats. Besides, he didn't believe that Yinzuo could find any favorable evidence in a short time, so he went forward with courage. The front said: "My lord, this matter is so important that you can't joke about it. Please be careful, my lord."

Be cautious, ah, this king is cautious enough, you are a big corrupt official who has taught me a lesson, hey, just wait and see.Yinzuo looked at Sang'e coldly, without saying a word, but the chill on his face was intense. After all, Sang'e was still a little guilty. He couldn't bear it now, and retreated with a smile.All the officials saw that the two governors at the head were stunned, and the expressions on their faces were so rich that they could open a dyeing workshop.

Yin Zuo looked around the officials with a cold face, and suddenly asked, "Which one is Che Zhenhe? Stand up and let me see."

"Che Zhenhe from Beizhishan South Road has seen the prince." Che Zhenhe came out of the line to salute with a puzzled face.

Yinzuo looked at Che Zhenhe coldly, without saying a word, seeing Che Zhenhe was terrified, feeling guilty, but he didn't understand what Yinzuo wanted to do, the sweat on his forehead came out like a spring, when Looking at Yinzuo's face, he didn't dare to take out the silk to wipe it, so he had to let the sweat flow down, and he was extremely embarrassed.

Yin Zuo suddenly laughed, and asked with a smile: "Is the chaotai a Jinshi in the 21st year of Kangxi?"

"Yes, yes, the next official is the Jinshi in the 21st year of Kangxi, and the tutors are Li Guangdi and Master Li." Che Zhenhe, who was in a state of panic, gathered himself together and hurriedly nodded his head in reply.

"Oh, in this way, the chaotai has been an official for more than ten years, and you think you know the laws of the Qing Dynasty by heart?"

"..." Che Zhenhe has been an official for many years, of course he is familiar with the laws of the Qing Dynasty, but he doesn't know what kind of medicine is sold in Yinzuo's gourd, and he doesn't know how to answer this question for a while, which seems redundant The problem.

Yinzuo didn't care whether Che Zhenhe answered or not, and said to himself: "Very well, then I ask you: the annual salary of a Daotai is 52 taels of silver, 30 shi and five dou of rice. How many years will it take him to accumulate [-] taels of family wealth?"

"..." Che Zhenhe didn't say anything, but his face was as white as paper.

Yinzuo slammed the gavel and said, "Che Zhenhe, how did your family get so much money? Tell me!"

"Xiaguan, Xiaguan..." Che Zhenhe is clear about how much money he has in his family. When he heard the number reported by Yin Zuo, he was immediately dumbfounded. After a long time, he suddenly yelled: "My lord, Xiaguan He has always been upright and honest, the prince must never wrongfully dismiss his official position."

"Injustice? Humph! At this time, Master Che has not recruited him honestly, so don't blame me for not being sympathetic." Yin Zuo said in a cold voice.

"Your official is wronged, my lord, this official is really wronged!" Che Zhenhe fell to his knees on the ground, shouting for injustice at the top of his voice, his face full of grievances.

Tsk tsk, damn it, this old boy is really good at acting, he really pretends to be serious, hey, Xiao Mian!Yinzuo smiled coldly and said loudly: "Come here, present the evidence."

A accountant Huazi from the household department came out, followed by two Shanpuying sergeants carrying a big sack.The middle-aged Accountant Huazi walked to the front of the hall, knelt down on the ground, and said loudly: "Xiaguan household department Jiangnan Qingli Secretary Wu Quan has seen the prince and all the adults. I went to Xuanwu on the order of the prince seven days ago. The Daotai yamen checked the accounts, and it was found that Zhenhe, a trolley in Xuanwu Dao, was short of 20 taels of silver. Based on the accounts, it was found that Zhenhe’s family wealth in Xuanwu Dao trolley was equivalent to more than 30 taels of silver. Archive."

Che Zhenhe was sweating profusely, and said tremblingly, "Lies, lies, I am a clean and honest official, and I have never violated the law or discipline. You, you, you, don't want to spit blood on others."

"Pa" Yin Zuo slapped the gavel and shouted: "Presumptuous, at this point, you dare to speak hard, come on, pick off the top feather of this dog. "

At this point, the officials finally understood that Yinzuo's illness is fake, and it is true that he secretly sent someone to check the accounts. The big guy has a pile of shit under his buttocks, and if one is poured out, there is nothing left Live a good life, if you don't fight at this time, there will be no chance to fight again, just looking at Yinzuo's cold face, everyone is a little hesitant, no one wants to be the one who stands out, big guy, look at me, I look at you, I didn't dare to go forward for a while.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Sang E was the first to jump out and said loudly: "Wait a minute, my lord, the stakes are very important at this time, it's better to discuss it in the long run."

Someone came out, and all the officials immediately followed closely, shouting in one voice: "My lord, be careful," "Your lord, don't wrong a good person."

Long term?Hey, good old mulberry, I'll settle the score with you later.Yinzuo ignored the blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, waved his hand and said: "Quiet, whoever speaks too much, this king will punish him for the crime of roaring in court."

Although the Qizi official was caught off guard by Yinzuo's sneak attack, they are old bureaucrats after all, and they have seen a lot of turbulent waves, so they know that they must not bow their heads and make concessions at this moment, otherwise Yinzuo will inevitably make progress if they give in again and again. In the end, they will end up losing everything, and they don't care about it anymore. They all knelt down on the ground, still shouting non-stop, there is no way to blame everyone, what can you do with my posture.

Depend on!The bureaucrats are really fucking difficult to deal with, if we don't prepare well in advance, there is really nothing we can do about them.Yinzuo slapped the gavel fiercely, and said loudly: "Please imperial decree!"

Liu Yao strode up to the hall with the imperial decree in both hands, and respectfully placed the imperial decree on the desk. When the officials saw Yin Zuo carrying out the imperial decree, they immediately fell silent—they dared to make noise in front of the imperial decree , then it is not a crime of dismissal and investigation such as deficit and corruption. This is a crime of disrespect, and it is to wipe out the nine clans.

Make a fuss, make a fuss again, make a fuss, hey, why don't you make a fuss this time?Yinzuo was very proud of himself, but his face was serious, and he said loudly: "Come here, pick off the flower feathers on Che Zhenhe's crown, and put him in prison, and wait for the king to ask for an order to convict him."

The kicker official was kneeling in the hall, and he didn't dare to make any noise at this moment, but he was all looking at Sang E, who was originally headed by Sang E, and now everyone was counting on Sang E to hold on.

Others don't need to talk, but Sang'er has no choice but to stand up. If he loses this battle, he will spit out the money in his mouth, and the prince in the capital will not let him go. There are dead words on both sides. Sang E also had no choice but to bite the bullet and go out: "My lord, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to assert that Mr. Che is corrupt just based on the account books. As the governor of the water transport, I still know about the water transport. Sometimes the household department transfers money. Not in time, it is common for officials below to embezzle some silver taels, besides, Mr. Che’s family cannot be charged with corruption and bribery just because his family is rich.

How dare you compare Lao Tzu with this dog official.The fire in Yinzuo's heart came up, he gritted his teeth, forced himself to stabilize his mind, and secretly reminded himself not to mess up his sense of proportion because of this.After being silent for a while, Yinzuo said calmly: "This king is rich, and he is still very rich, but this king's money comes rightly. This is authorized by His Majesty. Could it be that Master Sang is dissatisfied with His Majesty's will?"

Dissatisfaction with the emperor's will is resistance and disobedience. It is also a serious crime to annihilate the nine clans. If you give Sang's ten courage, he will not dare to express his dissatisfaction. Dare to resist and not follow the order, the prince has misunderstood, misunderstood. It's just that Mr. Che's family wealth may not necessarily come from a wrong path, right?"

Hey, old thing, you don't know if you came on the right track or not?Damn, messing around with me, heh, I've been waiting for you.Yin Zuo chuckled and said, "With the physical evidence, if there is more personal evidence, Mr. Sang will not misunderstand you again, right?" As soon as the words fell, regardless of Sang E was about to explain, Yin Zuo said loudly: "I will Witnesses brought to court."

There was an uproar among the sergeants of the Shanpu Battalion under the hall, and two sergeants helped a middle-aged man with a pale face and dressed as a petty official into the hall.Originally, Che Zhenhe, who was still thinking about luck, immediately collapsed when he saw this person, tremblingly said: "Cheng Qi, I treat you well, you, you, you..."

"Not thin? Mr. Che is too forgetful, Mr. Che's not thin is to give Xiao a glass of poisoned wine?" The visitor sneered, ignored Che Zhenhe who had already collapsed on the ground, and said loudly : "The small one is the treasurer of the Xuanwu Dao Yamen, but all the treasury and silver transactions are handled by the small one. The small one can testify that Mr. Che not only embezzled the treasury silver, but also resold grain grains with substandard goods."

After Che Zhenhe was taken down, Yin Zuo looked at Sang who was already panicked with a smile on his face and said, "Master Sang, it's time to tell this king about the 35 shi grains sinking into the river in July of the [-]th year of Kangxi, right? "

Sang's face immediately turned pale...
