I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 189 Another Big Fish
Kneeling profusely, he crawled towards Li Tian, ​​and shouted loudly as he crawled, "Your Majesty is merciful, Your Majesty has learned from you.

Although Guo Wenyu was recommended by the subordinate officials, the subordinate officials did not have a deep personal relationship with him, so what he committed had nothing to do with the subordinate officials! "

The major corruption case of hundreds of thousands of dan grains, once confirmed, would be a capital crime of ransacking the family and exterminating the family.

Although he had indeed received a lot of benefits from Guo Wenyu before, he was not enjoying the benefits alone.

Many people in the DPRK, especially those officials who are clean and rumored, have no less profit than him.

However, the relationship between them had been broken long ago. How could this bad debt be counted on him?

At this time, Guo Wenyu just bit out himself, obviously because he saw that he had lost power now, and wanted to make himself a substitute for the dead.

"No, you can't admit it even if you kill him. I don't deserve to be a scapegoat!" This is what he said in his heart.

"Hmph, Lu Yushi, Guo Wenyu is the one who was identified in front of His Majesty, and there are witnesses and evidence.

How long do you want to be stubborn, maybe you also want to try the methods of the factory guards. "

Lu Zhen has been in Zhao Prison of Jinyiwei during the years of being an official, and he is well aware of the horror there.

His face became even paler, and he knew that if there was no result in today's matter, his wealth and life would be lost.

Ignoring Xia Yuanji's words, he almost crawled to Li Tian's feet.

"Your Majesty, this humble minister is really wronged!

That Guo Wenyu was a wolf-hearted dog, and it was fine for his humble minister not to think of the kindness of the recommendation, but he actually bit back.

Colluding with others to frame the Weichen, the Weichen is really more wronged than Dou E! "

He was crying with snot and tears, and he did look a bit miserable.

But everyone present didn't know that he was very good at acting and rhetoric, and not many people believed his words.

But Li Tian believed it.

He didn't believe that Lu Zhen dared not tell the truth in front of his face.

Wei Wei bowed her head and said, "Oh? You said that Guo Wenyu wronged you, so you should explain in detail how he wronged you."

When Lu Zhen heard this, he was overjoyed. He was not afraid of Li Tian asking in detail, but he was afraid that Li Tian would not give him a chance at all.

Immediately he said excitedly, "I have the responsibility to check the words and deeds of all officials and report corruption.

The news that Guo Wenyu corrupted the official grain and sold it privately has long been heard by the minister. "

"It's just that there is no real evidence, so I didn't report it to His Majesty in time, you know."

"If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, I will go back and obtain the secret documents of the investigation. I have already found out who he has colluded with, and the specific whereabouts of the food."

Xia Yuanji snorted coldly, "In other words, Lu Yushi not only has no faults for you, but you have meritorious deeds."

Lu Zhen was not moved by Xia Yuanji's words, and continued to speak excitedly, "To tell you the truth, the person who colluded with Guo Wenyu is still a member of the royal family, he is Wu Yuanbo Zhu Rong!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

There was an uproar.

"How is this possible."

"Uncle Wu Yuan, he is the general guarding the frontier, a nobleman who retired with the country, how could he commit such a treasonous crime."

"Lu Yushi, you don't want to face the death penalty, and bite your breath. If His Majesty finds out, you are spreading rumors and slandering, even if you have ten heads, your Majesty will not be able to chop it off!"

Li Tian frowned, and it was difficult for him to tell whether what Lu Zhen said was true or not.

It was about a border general with a large army in his hands. The sudden escalation of a corruption case to this level made Li Tian seem a little caught off guard.

At this time, the mature and prudent Xia Yuanji quietly came to his side and whispered to him,
"Your Majesty, no matter what Lu Yu envoy said is true or not, he has to be cautious when it comes to border generals with heavy troops in their hands!"

Li Tian felt that his words made sense.

Weiji nodded and said, "What Wei Ji said is reasonable, in your opinion, how should we deal with this matter."

"It's better to take Lu Yushi and others into custody for the time being, and interrogate them in detail!"

"Well, it seems that's the only way to go."

Immediately, Li Tianlang said to the people around him, "I will take Lu Zhen into custody now, and interrogate him in detail. Compare the confession with Guo Wenyu, and there must be no mistakes or omissions."

Huang Yan also knew that the matter was serious, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, this old slave will definitely do his best."

Lu Zhen felt relieved when he heard this, although he still couldn't avoid going to the factory guard, but before the matter was found out, his little life was finally saved.

But the moment he was dragged away, he kept yelling, "Your Majesty is aware that everything I said is true, and there is no way to hide it."

It was pouring rain again, and another major corruption case, and now even the guards of the important border towns were involved.

What happened during this day really made Li Tian a little overwhelmed and exhausted physically and mentally.

But as an emperor, these things must be experienced, and he has no way to shirk it, so he has to fight hard.

It's about the frontier army, no matter how cautious you can be, he said loudly to everyone present,
"Listen, everyone. I don't want more people to know what happened today. All investigations must be conducted in secret."

"If someone leaks the news secretly, he will be punished as treason!"

Hearing his words, everyone trembled. They had never seen Li Tian so serious before.

Huang Yan even pulled out half of the sword with a hasty clang, the intention of threatening and intimidating was very obvious.

Li Tian is very satisfied with his deceitful prestige this time.

She nodded at him with a slight smile.

Huang Yan's heart suddenly seemed to be smeared with honey, his face was full of joy, and he wanted to cheer.

Looking around at everyone present, he was not worried about Huang Yan's factory guard, and the rest of them were Wu Zhong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

Hubu Shangshu Xia Yuanji and others are civil servants, born to be at odds with generals, so there is no reason to secretly report.

Only Sun Wenrong from Shuntian Mansion, [-]% of the people in Bing Ma Si are not sure.

After secretly ordering Huang Yan to secretly monitor everyone present today, half of his heart was finally relieved a little.

Of the nine border towns in the Ming Dynasty, Wu Kezhong guarded the Xuanfu, and Zhu Rong guarded Shanxi.

They have many soldiers and generals, and it can be said that if any one of them goes wrong, it will be a catastrophe.

In ancient times, a soldier was a king.

Although the Ming Dynasty emphasized literature over military affairs, the status of generals was extremely short and low, and even an eunuch dared to insult and beat him face to face.

But there are also people to be divided, such as Zhu Rong, who is not only a royal nobleman, but also an important minister at the border guard.

If someone insulted him face to face, he would be killed with a knife, and the emperor really had nothing to do with him.

Right now the city is suffering from floods, Taicang's official food is soaked in water and people are being corrupted. There are a lot of unresolved issues, and Li Tian doesn't have much energy to deal with Zhu Rong.

After another half an hour, the heavy rain finally stopped.

The flood has receded, and people from all walks of life reported back one after another. Except for a few places where the disaster has not yet spread, most areas are no longer affected.
