Chapter 370: The whole month of collapse(1/2)

Deng Hui didn't wait long. After half an hour, two hundred and thousands of Niu Guards arrived at the warehouse with nearly one hundred officials from the Ministry of Works and Jinshi of the Hanlin Academy.

The account checker leader was Di Ziming, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.

The Hanlin Academy is quite large, with more than 200 people studying in it all year round, and theirs is roughly divided into four levels.

The first one is of course the bachelor's degree in the eldest son, who is a second-rank senior official and cannot be a polite, honest, honest, and upright person.

There were a group of bachelor's students in the queue.

As the name suggests, they often go to teach the emperor and the prince, explaining some poetry, books, classics, or some practical things.

Usually, only the top scholar can be the top scholar, but only one of the top scholars in three years is available, so many times, the excellent editors and reviews of the Hanlin Academy can also explain together.

The editorial and review of the Hanlin Academy are the third and fourth levels.

Except for the bachelor of the school, the remaining three levels are all summarized within the category of "Shujishi".

"Shujishi" is also the group of people known as the real "Capital Cradle".

In the election of Shujishi, people usually enter the Hanlin Academy as Jinshi. After two or three years of hardship, they can be selected when the museum is dispersed, so that they can stay in the Hanlin Academy for a long time.

Those Jinshi who were unable to stay when they were separated usually had to be magistrates, and those who were lucky enough to be judges would have to be promoted slowly in the future.

Shujishi is different.

Some Shujishi can directly serve as the ministers of the six ministries of the court, the captains of the nine imperial guards, etc. It is not a fantasy to become the leader of the tribe at the age of 40.

For example, Liu Renhuai, the governor of Jiangnan, became the governor of Jiangnan in his thirties. He was a regular second-rank master and the same level as the six ministers and the nine imperial guards.

There is also the current deputy prime minister Zhong Chang. He also became a second-rank official in his thirties and became a deputy prime minister at the age of 43, only one step away from becoming a first-rank prime minister.

Both of them were formerly from Shujishi.

So you see, it’s like modern people who graduate directly from a doctoral degree from Tsinghua University’s third-year college, and they are born with huge advantages.

The topic is turned back.

Di Ziming is 32 years old this year and is a serious top scholar. He has been in the Hanlin Academy for many years.

As a Confucian student, although he was pedantic and old-fashioned, he knew very well about Confucian classics and read them at will, and often talked about scriptures and classics to the prince.

But no one knows that after the Hanlin Academy began to learn the "multi-entry accounting method" and "capital numbers" invented by Prince Yu last year, he was the one who cheated in the Hanlin Academy.

As long as any account is reached by Di Ziming, it can be found clearly immediately, clearly, and very fast.

So this time Feng Yuqiang specially recommended him to serve as the chief investigator of the county, responsible for clearing the accounts here.

Those who came to review were all civil officials, and they were definitely not as fast as the Yulin Guard, and their energy was not as good as the Yulin Guard and Qianniu Guard.

When they arrived in the warehouse, they were all in a state of sluggishness, and even ran and vomited several times.

But even so, when they met Deng Hui, they still forced themselves to cheer up.

Deng Hui didn't have the intention to get close to them, and pointed to the thousands of accounts piled up on the open space of the huge office house. "Time is tight, you only have three hours to check the accounts at most, and then we have to spend time to question them. It's best to finish it today... Can you do it?"

"OK!"

Di Ziming bowed and said, "Secretary and others will do their best!"

"good!"

Deng Hui said, "The seat pen and ink are ready. You can't carry half a piece of paper out even if you eat, drink, defecate, and urinate. You must hear it clearly!"

"yes!"

After Di Ziming and others agreed, they quickly walked in.

They also knew that the matter was urgent, and the emperor was waiting for the news here, and of course they wanted to do their best to fulfill the emperor's instructions.

After listening to Di Ziming assigning the task, everyone sat on the seat inside, took out the abacus, and began to make nervous calculations and check the accounts.

Deng Hui felt a little relaxed when he heard the crisp sound of punctuating the beads.

At this time, he remembered Cheng Jiashan who went to the granary storage warehouse in Qiu County. He didn't know how Lao Cheng was doing.

...

In fact, getting married is not as smooth as him.

At this moment, thick black smoke had already emerged from the granary storage warehouse in Qiu County.

One of the huge granaries was burning with a raging fire, and no matter how hard it was watered, it could not be extinguished.

The people in charge of putting out the fire were all a group of soldiers from the granary warehouse in Qiu County.

They worked very hard one by one, constantly fetching water from the wells and large water tanks to put out the fire, and actively creating isolation belts to resolutely prevent the fire from spreading.

Why do these soldiers work so seriously?

The more than 300 corpses lying around the granary are the answer.

Before the Yulin Army could stop it, several minor officials poured fuel and lit the large granary, and the fire broke out from then on.

Cheng Jiashan arrived here and saw several minor officials who committed suicide. He was not relieved at all and directly ordered all the living people within twenty feet of the surrounding area.

Whether it is a soldier, a sting official or an official, kill them all.

This is the source of more than 300 corpses on the ground.

Although many of them were crying for their innocence, they were still killed by the hard-hearted Yulin Guards.

There is really no one left.

Blood flowed out along the ground, making the surroundings scary.

It is precisely because of this that when Cheng Jiashan ordered the group of soldiers at the bottom to start putting out the fire with all their might, they did not hesitate or negligently and tried their best to do it.

But Cheng Jiashan's face was still ashen and his cold and tyrannical eyes were even scared even when the soldiers of the Yulin Guard looked at it.

This is also nonsense.

Anyone who sees that he almost fails to achieve his achievements and is better not to get the credit intact, he will have such a look.

Especially when Cheng Jia was brave and radical, he was brave and aggressive in his actions, and he forced his arrival time to be one hour ahead of his time, but he didn't know what went wrong. He encountered a fire just now when he entered the door.

If he hadn't seen the group of warehouse officials being equally stunned and at a loss, he would not have just tied up these people, but would have killed them all.

Don't doubt it.

The emperor gave him the order, "If there are any abnormal movements, kill them! If there are instigations to burn the granary, kill them!"

They have both of these suspicions.

If it weren't for the final interrogation, Cheng Jiashan wouldn't mind taking these fat officials to dismember them.

Standing in front of the group of tied warehouse officials, Cheng Jiashan's whole body was filled with a cold air.

"I'm in a bad mood now, don't mess with me." Cheng Jiashan looked over one by one, "I only asked all my questions once, and the person who answered the answer will die if he answered the answer wrongly! If you lie, the rest can report it immediately. I will give the reporter an extra chance to survive, even if he answered the answer wrongly, he will still save his life."

More than a dozen officials of all sizes were trembling and didn't know how to speak well.

Cheng Jiashan ignored their expressions and asked, "How much food is there in this burned warehouse?...you say."

The official named trembled and said, "Three hundred...three million stones..."

"Is there really three million stones?" Cheng Jiashan raised the whip in his hand slightly, and his smile was a little gloomy.

"I……"

Before the official named had time to think too much, an obese official next to him blurted out: "There are only 700,000 stones of rice inside, and the rest were all sold!"

"Swish!"

Everyone looked at him.

Cheng Jiashan remembers this obese official. He is Hao Chunzheng, the head of the Grain Storage Warehouse of the Ministry of Revenue, stationed in Qiu County, and a serious fifth-rank official, second only to Li Jiapeng, the official of the Grain Storage Warehouse of Qiu County.

Hao Chunzheng was so scared that he kept sweating, and his thin clothes were soaked in water.

Being a family is good at being radical, but not without brains.

Originally, Hao Chunzheng was one of the breakthroughs for family goodness, so the first person to kill the chicken to scare the monkey did not choose him. Unexpectedly, he could not hold back than he thought.

Little did he know that Hao Chunzheng was also complaining secretly at this time.

He was simply broken up by this huge pressure and blurted out subconsciously. How could he deliberately want to get a pardon?

But other people don’t think so. They look at Hao Chunzheng with contempt, hatred and enviousness.

In silence, Cheng Jiashan continued: "So, did Lord Hao lie this time? If someone reports, he can get a chance to be pardoned."

No one speaks.

"very good!"

Cheng Jiashan pointed to the first official to speak, "Come on, behead him!"

"yes!"

Several Yulin Guards next to them rushed out like wolves and tigers, pressing the official who was crying and begging for mercy to the ground.

Those who wanted to chop his head did not know that he was struggling constantly, so the executioner simply cut his back with one knife.

"ah!!"
