Chapter five hundred and sixty second: eradicate clean

The big trucks were full of gold and silver.

At least ordinary people dare not think about these gold and silver.

After working hard all my life, the family’s savings are only those few taels of silver.

But here...the gold and silver are loaded in a big cart.

And this carriage is not the same as that.

Many people who have seen their eyes straightened.

This...this...

Everyone is no longer full of righteous indignation.

But I only looked at the cars and horses that passed by.

The captain along the way seemed very nervous, as if everyone seemed to be someone who wanted to hijack gold and silver.

Finally, someone cursed: "Li Guo's thing is worse than that of a pig or a dog!"

There were also scholars in it and said, "Don't believe it. Li Gong is reluctant to even replace the sedan chair with a new one. Throughout the year, there are only four regular clothes. How could there be so much gold and silver? This must be... it must be framed by the Jinyiwei!"

"I also want the Jinyiwei to frame me, but even if I spend so much money, even if I stay at my house for a day, I will take a look at it happily and will be willing to die."

"Hahaha………"

Everyone burst into laughter.

"This damn thing should be scouted and destroyed!" Someone shouted in resentment.

So... the grief and anger just now turned into resentment.

But those scholars have already lost their luck when they see that the situation is not good.

...

Emperor Tianqi sat in this simple Li family study and couldn't help but sigh.

It's really simple here, and all the homes look shabby.

There are many books in his collection, and there are many copybooks written by Li Guo himself.

It's nothing more than "indifference and far-reaching".

Emperor Tianqi stared at these copybooks and couldn't help but say, "How did he do it? He was celebrating his ambition while celebrating his ambitions, and then... restraining countless wealth? If I had learned half of the ability of Li Guo, I would be a saint like Yao and Shun now."

Zhang Jingyi said: "I think the more greedy a person comes, the more you care about these things."

Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but sigh and said with emotion: "When I came in, I almost believed his nonsense. Fortunately, Deng Qing found a flaw in time. Otherwise, I would feel ashamed of him. The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet is such a person..."

Zhang Jingyi said, "I think this is an opportunity."

"An opportunity?" Emperor Tianqi's eyes moved away from the running script on the wall and fell on Zhang Jingyi.

Zhang Jing said: "Have your Majesty ever thought that Mr. Li... No, Li Guo is so greedy, but everyone praises him for being honest. Why is this?"

"You keep talking."

Zhang Jingyi continued: "This shows that most of the time, Li Guo is honest. Otherwise... if a person receives money everywhere, countless people will know about it. How could such a good reputation be revealed?"

Emperor Tianqi held his chin and looked at Zhang Jingyi steadily, saying, "Then what you mean is..."

"What I mean is that ninety-nine people came to give gifts to Li Guo, but Li Guo refused to accept them and asked someone to send them back. He might... only accept gifts from one or two people."

Emperor Tianqi said in surprise: "One or two people? Only one or two people received gifts, and there were also seven million taels of silver-patterned ones?"

What an incredible thing this is!

Zhang Jingyi smiled bitterly and said, "This is my inference, because I did ask the Jinyiwei to check him before, but the final result was... almost no trace was found!"

"I think this is definitely not our negligence in the cavalry. The only reason is that Li Guo was honest at 99% of the time. There must be very few people who really bring benefits to him and who are willing to accept it."

Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but take a breath.

If Li Guo was greedy and jealous of money, Emperor Tianqi would not be shocked.

Because... the fact is right in front of you, there is indeed so much gold and silver piled up here.

He charged a thousand people, ten thousand people's benefits... This makes sense.

But if... only charge a few people, or even just one person, you can get seven million taels of silver!

This is really scary!

Buy a Grand Secretary...

Those who dare to spend this money.

So... what kind of benefits are behind this?

And how do you imagine the scale of this benefit?

So Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but say, "What do you mean... someone bribed Li Guo and spent seven million taels for their use?"

Zhang Jing nodded without hesitation: "Yes."

Emperor Apocalypse carried his hands behind his back and suddenly walked like an ant on a hot pan.

He frowned and said, "Why are you willing to pay such a big price?"

Zhang Jingyi patiently explained: "The only possibility is that the benefits they want to make are far more than seven million taels... and even... I am thinking... maybe... they may have bribed more than one Li Guo."

"Li State is a Grand Secretary after all, and although he is a prime minister, he has to provide convenience, which is far inferior to other officials responsible for civil affairs... So... my judgment is that the cost of bribery alone is seven million taels of silver as a base, and even far exceeds this amount."

"How is that possible!" Emperor Tianqi looked at Zhang Jing in disbelief and said, "Are those people who opened good halls?"

"It's not about opening a good church, but... the benefits they have made may be several times the seven million taels, or even ten times or a hundred times..."

Hearing this, Emperor Tianqi fell down and murmured: "I'm so careless, so careless. I always thought that I have saved so much gold and silver in the treasury now, with a scale of as much as 200 million. If I take it as you said, wouldn't I still be a poor man?"

"You can't say that either." Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but smile, and then said, "Your Majesty, we can't look at the problem in black or white. Your Majesty is already much richer than me. Our ironclad ship plan has started construction in Lushun and has recruited many craftsmen, but I found that... the wages seem to be calculated incorrectly, and there are many materials... I was too naive at the beginning, but then I realized that it was not practical at all for 50 million taels..."

"What do you mean?" Emperor Tianqi looked at Zhang Jingyi vigilantly.

Zhang Jing said: "It's nothing, I'm just worried... In the end, the secret plan between Your Majesty and me became half a dozen. Then, I'll spend so much money in, but in the end..."

"Okay." Emperor Tianqi was about to jump up and then said, "You are the one who is the one who builds a palace in the Ministry of Works. First, say one million taels, and then add it slowly..."

Zhang Jingyi was shocked: "Is that true?"

Unexpectedly... the ancients would have played this trick long ago?

Damn...I'm still too young!

Emperor Aoki began to get anxious again and said, "You said it straight, how many more do you want to add?"

Looking at the ugly face of Emperor Tianqi, Zhang Jing had to bite the bullet and said, "I'm afraid that at least two million taels will be added every year..."

Emperor Tianqi smoked in the seven orifices: "Every year?"

Zhang Jingyi said: "Your Majesty can think about the benefits..."

Emperor Tianqi's eyes were on fire and he said, "I can't think about the benefits!"

Zhang Jingyi: “…”

Emperor Tianqi was so angry that he finally said, "You have drawn up a charter, write it clearly, and don't fool me again in the future."

"This is not a fool," Zhang Jingyi explained: "That's how everyone does this."

Emperor Apocalypse: “…”

But slowly, Emperor Tianqi's face calmed down and said, "You are right. You have to follow the clues in this matter. This is a good opportunity to dig out the people behind Li Guo... Who is behind him, how can he get such great benefits? How many people are involved... Seven million taels of silver, you can give it as soon as you say it, and bribe my Grand Secretary. These people must have made great plans. If you find it out, you must investigate it thoroughly."

Zhang Jing immediately understood what Emperor Tianqi meant.

He made money from Emperor Aoki himself, but Emperor Aoki made money from some people.

In this way, a perfect ecological chain is formed.

Zhang Jing said immediately: "I will start to investigate today. Your Majesty, don't worry, the Jinyiwei will definitely go through fire and water."

Zhang Jingyi's eyes were extremely firm!

Emperor Tianqi then said, "There is also the Deng Qing family, I think... the Deng Qing family is really hardworking and making great contributions! He is different from you. You always care about the silver in my treasury. He never misses him, but he always helps me and move the silver to the palace without regrets. My Ming Dynasty needs such a talent the most."

"The most important thing is that he devoted himself to his life. He was so old that he didn't care about marrying a wife and having children. Whenever I thought about it, I felt that it was a blessing that I had such a person in the Ming Dynasty! Otherwise... tell him a marriage."

"This..." Zhang Jingyi said: "Of course it's up to Your Majesty."

Emperor Tianqi pondered for a moment and said, "Who do you think is the right family?"

Zhang Jing thought for a while and said, "Why, I will go and inquire first?"

"Okay." Emperor Aoki smiled: "Anyway, I can't treat him badly."

The two of them finished discussing.

Emperor Tianqi felt that it was meaningless to stay here, so he went out of his study.

All the officials had already been waiting here. Emperor Tianqi waved his hand and said, "Set back to the palace!"

So, the ministers followed Emperor Tianqi to leave the Li family.

Zhang Jingyi led the Jinyiwei to the official school to the middle gate to pay respect to him.

And outside the Li family, the people who have good things have almost gone.

After seeing off Emperor Tianqi, Zhang Jing pressed the hilt of the knife, suddenly pulled her face and shouted: "See the order."

"At." The officials and schools cheered up and shouted and responded.

Zhang Jingyi said: "First, during these days, we should pay special attention to the residences of all officials in the capital and the residences they are close to, to see if there is any abnormal movement. Maybe some people, like Li, hide gold and silver. At this time, they are guilty and are busy trying to 'move'. Maybe they can catch a few big fish."

"yes."

"Second: Start interrogating Li Guo immediately... His family, don't rush to kill him, start with Li Guo and others!"
