Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 450: Bad Rules

Yang Lian sat up straight, looked at Chen Laosan in front of her, and then continued to ask: "Then we ask you, why did they set fire to the account books of the household department? Why did the household department get involved in this matter?"

"Elder-in-law, aren't you embarrassing me? How could I know?" Chen Laosan said hastily.

Yang Lian looked at Chen Laosan with a slight smile, stretched out her hand to pick up the teacup beside her, took a sip, and said, "Our family is difficult for you?"

As she spoke, Yang Lian slammed the teacup in her hand on Chen Laosan's head, "I think you are making things difficult for our family!"

This blow hit Chen Laosan directly, but he knelt there, not daring to move.

"Our family asks you, do you know?" Yang Lian asked again with a fierce look in her eyes.

"Eunuch, I know, I know." Chen Laosan said quickly.

"I know, I know, I said. Because they want to do this kind of thing, they can't hide it from the household department. The number of farmland is decreasing every year. Although the decrease is not much every year, it is indeed decreasing every year. If the household department doesn’t help, they will reveal their secrets.”

"The other thing is that there is not enough money and food every year. All the farmland was replanted with mulberry trees, but the food was gone. So they linked up with the Ministry of Households and resold the old grains in the granary of the Ministry of Households. Of course, some of the old grains were said to be old grains. no."

"After they bought the grain back, some of it was given to the military households in the fields, and the other part was resold by them. They sold all the grain to the local mulberry farmers."

Yang Lian stood up, walked around Chen Laosan for a few times, and then said: "Why didn't our family see it at the beginning, you Chen Laosan still has this ability? Our family may be blind. "

After saying this, Yang Lian walked to Yang Bin's side and asked, "If Chen Laosan didn't say anything, didn't Zhejiang say anything?"

"Is everyone in Zhejiang blind or deaf? Can't they see?"

"Elder-in-law, this matter is actually out of our control." Yang Bin glanced at Chen Laosan and said bravely.

Although Yang Bin wanted to pull Chen Laosan out and kill him now, he also knew that if he really wanted to pursue this matter, he would not be able to afford it.

But to put it another way, I can't blame myself.The main business on my side is to do business. If there is no order from the court, I can't move lightly on my side.

But this matter depends on how it is said. Even if there are such things in the local area, even if they cannot be controlled, they must be reported.This is Chen Laosan's dereliction of duty.

At the same time, Yang Bin also knew that there must be corruption here.These people on my side have been in the local area all year round, and the people who deal with them are all big local households.

Because they cooperated with big local households when they jointly opened the store, so it is inevitable that they will have connections with large local households.

Yang Lian turned her head to look at Yang Bin, and said blankly, "Did their cloth go through our channel?"

Seeing Yang Lian staring at him, Yang Bin smiled wryly, he knew that his father-in-law doubted him with his words.

So Yang Bin hurriedly said: "Elder-in-law, there must be some people who go through our channels. How many goods in the world can not go through our channels?"

Slowly turning around, Yang Lian agreed with Yang Bin's words.

Glancing at Chen Laosan who was kneeling on the ground, Yang Lian said: "This time the matter is serious, and they are too courageous. Our family asked you, did you participate in this matter? If you tell the truth, Our family may still save your life; if you don't tell the truth, your whole family's life is unnecessary."

"Elder-in-law, I really don't know about this. I didn't expect them to do this." Chen Laosan said with a sad face: "I don't have much contact with them. I know that there is such a thing, but I just do it every year." Selling cloth for them, and buying some land from them, I really don’t know about the rest.”

"Besides, when I bought the land, I didn't know that it was farmed by the army. If I knew, I wouldn't dare to buy it. It would be too late when I found out. Father-in-law, you must save me!" Chen Laosan stepped forward Climbed a few steps, hugged Yang Lian's thigh, and cried.

Kicking Chen Laosan to the ground, Yang Lian stood up and looked at Yang Bin beside her, and then said: "Keep an eye on him, don't let him go out, don't let him tip off the outsiders. I'll go now See His Royal Highness, this matter is no longer up to us, it depends on what His Royal Highness says."

"Yes, father-in-law, leave it to me." Yang Bin nodded.

After Yang Lian left her room, her face was still black.

He arrived at the palace very quickly, and rushed in as soon as he got the notification.

After seeing Zhu Houzhao, Yang Lian knelt down on the ground without saying a word.

Glancing at Yang Lian who was kneeling on the ground, Zhu Houzhao said expressionlessly, "What's wrong?"

"Speaking of which, you have been with Bengong for some years, and you have worked hard without credit. Besides, you have done a good job, and you can be regarded as a meritorious person. If you have something to say, you can talk about it. You know Bengong's habits, and you can forgive me. The one who has forgiven you will definitely forgive you, but the one who cannot forgive you is useless even if you kneel."

After hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Yang Lian got up from the ground, and then said: "Your Highness, the servant is guilty. There is a mistake in Zhejiang. It is the servant who is not strict."

Then Yang Lian told Zhu Houzhao what happened.

After listening to Yang Lian's words, Zhu Houzhao's expression did not change, he threw the hand towel into Liu Jin's arms, and then said: "These people are stupid when they are officials, thinking that everything should be done according to the rules of the official circle. There are many things in this world, but they are actually not that troublesome."

After saying this, Zhu Houzhao looked at Yang Lian and asked, "What are you going to do with that guy named Chen Laosan?"

After hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Yang Lian knew what His Royal Highness meant, so she quickly said, "Your Highness, this servant wants to punish him severely. This time, this servant came to Nanjing to know that these people in the south are doing this behind their backs." Things. It can be seen that our people are not obedient, and we just use him to establish our prestige."

"If things don't go ruthlessly this time, then other people will follow suit in the future, and things will be difficult to handle at that time. That's why I want to severely punish this youngest Chen."

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Go back to His Royal Highness, copy and chop all the families." Yang Lian said hastily.

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and ordered casually: "Then do as you said, call all your subordinates, and let them go and have a look. If there is any crime, let them confess quickly. If it is found out in the future, follow the law. The example of Chen Laosan is carried out."

"Over there in Zhejiang, let's go together in a few days. I want to see what monsters they can come up with. Do you really think that this Ming Dynasty is their world? They think that if they burn the account books and destroy the evidence, there will be a Chance?"

"They have no chance. What is a rule? A rule is that everyone must abide by it, so it is called a rule. As a subordinate, you'd better follow the rules. If you break the rules, the superiors will also break the rules. Once The higher-ranking person broke the rules, and the lower-ranking person is definitely not able to bear it, and I will also send this message to you."

"For the sake of your loyalty to this palace, I won't pursue you this time. But you have to remember that if things in the south mess up this time, you won't have a chance."

After hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Yang Lian quickly kowtowed on the ground and said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, my servant."

After waving his hands, Zhu Houzhao said, "Okay, let's go."

Yang Lian got up from the ground, then turned and walked out.

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Liu Jin who was standing not far away, and nodded to him.

So Liu Jin also turned around and followed quietly.

After leaving the palace, Yang Lian breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt ruthless in her heart.

His Highness the Crown Prince has already given up his word, which means that this matter has reached the point where there is no room for redemption. If he makes any mistakes in the future, then His Highness the Crown Prince will really severely punish himself.

"Eunuch Yang, stop." Just as Yang Lian was about to go back to deal with those people, a voice suddenly came from behind.

Yang Lian was stunned and turned around to look, it was actually Liu Jin.

He couldn't help mentioning in his heart that the relationship between himself and Liu Jin was not very good. Before he came here, Liu Jin was the most popular person around His Royal Highness, and after he arrived, he somewhat competed for his position.

All these years, Liu Jin has been wary of himself, for fear that he would take his place.

At this moment, Liu Jin actually came out?

Yang Lian immediately felt uneasy in her heart, fearing that Liu Jin would hurt her, so she said with a smile: "Eunuch Liu."

Liu Jin also cupped her hands to Yang Lian, and then said with a smile: "There are some things our family wants to tell you. I wonder if it's convenient for Eunuch Yang?"

"Of course, of course, please, Eunuch Liu." Yang Lian made a gesture of invitation, and led Liu Jin to a corner where no one was around, and asked, "I don't know what advice Eunuch Liu has?"

"I don't know what Eunuch Yang is going to do when he goes back?" Liu Jin asked with a smile on his hands.

"I don't know what advice Eunuch Liu has?" Of course Yang Lian knew that Liu Jin asked herself this question not because she really wanted to know what to do, but because he had something to say to herself, so he didn't go around the corner and asked Liu Jin directly. the goal of.

"Although that Chen Laosan is annoying, our family thinks he is just a small person, and it doesn't matter." Liu Jin said with a smile: "The real big thing is the case of the Ministry of Household Affairs, or the people involved. Anyway, people have been arrested now. Well, let them speak up. As for whether they are hiding something, it doesn’t matter, doesn’t that Chen Laosan also know? Ask him.”

Seeing Liu Jin's smiling smile, Yang Lian trembled.

Of course he knew the meaning of Liu Jin's words. He asked himself to ask the people around him from Chen Laosan, and then said that they were confessed by the people from the household department, and directly detained them in these cases of the household department. .

Murder and arson in the household department is definitely a big case, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are plotting treason.In this way, whoever I want to be involved can be involved, and none of the people who did these things with him behind Chen Laosan will be able to escape, and they don't even need to find any other charges.

Once these people are detained in the case of the Ministry of Household Affairs, they can only die without guilt.

Yang Lian squinted at Liu Jin. He didn't know whether Liu Jin's words meant His Royal Highness or Liu Jin.

But after thinking about it for a while, Yang Lian understood that this was what His Highness the Crown Prince meant.

Just now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince told himself in the palace that the rules should not be broken,

Now that he had just left from His Royal Highness, Liu Jin chased after him, and said these words to himself.Obviously, this is what His Highness the Crown Prince asked Liu Jin to tell him, and he wanted him to do so.

After pondering for a moment, Yang Lian said, "Thank you, Eunuch Liu, for your advice."

Liu Jin smiled and waved his hands, "Our family dares to teach Eunuch Yang, but we are all around His Royal Highness, and we always want to do errands beautifully. Annoying His Royal Highness is not what we should do , Eunuch Yang, what do you think?"

Yang Lian quickly said: "Eunuch Liu is right."

"Then go get busy, our family won't waste your time, and get things done as soon as possible." Liu Jin said with a smile.

After saying this, Liu Jin turned around and walked out.

Yang Lian looked at Liu Jin's back, didn't stay too long, turned around and walked out.

Looking at Liu Jin who walked in from the outside, Zhu Houzhao asked, "Have you explained it?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, the servant has already explained, and Eunuch Yang knows what to do. I think there will be news soon." Liu Jin quickly bowed and said, "If necessary, the servant will send someone to watch over it?"

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Liu Jin, then shook his head, and said expressionlessly: "No need, Yang Lian is not a fool. He just didn't come out of the circle for a while, even if you don't explain it, he will be able to react , but I can't wait any longer."

"Originally, I was thinking about what to do. I wanted Qi Huan to urge them, and then let these people stand up by themselves. I didn't expect that someone who was not afraid of death would stand up first. That's good, let's take Zhejiang first."

"Isn't there a lot of big families in Zhejiang? That's good, the two things will be done together. You go tell Zhang Xi and let him keep an eye on it. By the way, go and find Cheng Guogong Zhu Fu for me."

"Yes, His Royal Highness, the servant will go now," Liu Jin agreed, then turned and ran out, but a look of disappointment flashed across his face.

For Yang Lian's position, Liu Jin can be said to have coveted it for a long time.

Once I have mastered this power in front of His Highness the Crown Prince, then my power will inevitably become stronger, and then I will be the real No.1 in front of the Crown Prince.

After His Highness the Crown Prince ascended the throne, he became the No.1 eunuch in the world.

But His Royal Highness did not give himself such a chance.

I thought it would be enough for Yang Lian to mess things up this time, but it seems that I still underestimated Yang Lian's position in the heart of His Highness the Crown Prince.
