Chapter 1373 The censor goes mad, the book is in danger
Back at the temporary residence, Zhu Zhanji met Fang Xing.
Seriously awake!
"Zhanji, a big incident!"
Zhu Zhanji's eyes were instantly shining, "Who is it?"
Fang Xing handed him a stack of confessions and introduced: "The main culprit is Chen Buyan, the left minister of the Ministry of Works of Peking. This good official who His Majesty once praised strongly, but he hid more than 200,000 yuan in his home. Zhanji, this is probably a rare case of corruption in the Yongle Dynasty. Do you dare to uproot the roots?"
Zhu Zhanji did not hesitate, and asked resolutely: "Where is Liu Guan?"
Fang Xing said with satisfaction: "Liu Guan and the prisoner are still floating on the water, and they will wait until they go ashore tonight."
Zhu Zhanji closed his eyes, sorted out the relationship here, and said, "Will Liu Guan inform him?"
"I sent someone to stare at him closely. If I dare to leak the secret, I will take it down immediately!"
Fang Xing was more ruthless and decisive, and was directly prepared to take down a Zuodu Censor.
Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "In extraordinary times, you should not neglect it. As long as the measures are in place, Liu Guan will not dare to act rashly."
Fang Xing remembered Liu Guan's surprise when he learned the amount of Chen Buyan involved in the case, and he felt a little disdainful.
No matter who it is, it is really rare for civil servants to ignore their own interests when dealing with such major cases.
It is a common problem to plan for one's own life first and then to plan for things! It is a common problem that has formed a consensus!
Zhu Zhanji lowered his eyes and asked, "Who else is involved in the case?"
The minor official Zhu Zhanji would not ask, what he wanted was a big tiger!
Fang Xing shook his head and said, "Chen Buyan's son Chen Shengduo doesn't know who he is, but in previous years, the man had frequent correspondence with Chen Buyan, which is an important clue. Also, someone in Jinling City specially sold stolen goods for them, and he had to take the gang immediately."
"Chen Buyan used the southern project to plunder and deduct it. Do you still remember Qian Junhua complaining that projects everywhere exceeded the budget?"
Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "Is it Qian Junhua?"
Fang Xing remembered Qian Junhua's tanned face and frowned: "You can't say that officials these days are too good to pretend, so it's hard to judge based on their appearance."
Zhu Zhanji agreed with this statement, and said, "Then we must keep a close eye on the officials of various ministries and order them not to leave the city... This is not good, and it will be in a hurry to jump over the wall."
Fang Xing nodded and said, "We don't have to worry. It's a good thing if someone is anxious."
Later, Fei Shi also came, and he reported: "Your Highness, my people have already set up controls outside the city, and those in the city can only rely on the East Factory."
An Lun was about to cry, and Fang Xing thought gloatingly.
If an important official flees, it will immediately cause a sensation in the Ming Dynasty, and then the responsible person will naturally suffer a lot of luck.
...
Zheng Duomian, the Zuodu Censor of the Jinling Capital Bureau, felt that he was not far from the day of his misfortune.
"You idiots! Your Highness asked women to sleep with you in the Qinhuai River? Is there any?"
More than a dozen censors stood in front of the lobby, listening to Zheng Duomian snoring expressionlessly.
Seeing these people's numbness, Zheng Duomian became even more angry.
"Xing and Bo went to Jiangyin. Why did Your Highness visit Jinling? Wouldn't he call the woman to his residence? Who dares to refuse?"
Zheng Duomian said angrily: "Idiots! Your Highness is willing to conceal Xing He Bo's actions. You may have thought about how big this case will be? Ah?"
No one changed color. Zheng Duomian suddenly became a little discouraged. His shoulders collapsed and said with a wry smile: "We are not trusted by Your Highness, you are so stupid. OK! OK! You are all amazing, but you don't know who else is a corrupt official. You only know how to attack Your Highness..."
Someone finally changed color below, and he bowed and said, "Sir, are you saying...we have become accomplices instead?"
"What do you think?"
Zheng Duomian said helplessly: "You idiots, such behavior is just not doing their jobs in the eyes of Your Majesty. But I see that you are still proud of yourself these days, and I am really ashamed of your superiors! I can't afford to be your superiors. From today on, you will be free. Go, I will impeach whoever I want to impeach, I will not care about it!"
Seeing Zheng Duomian leave with his sleeves, the censors looked at each other, and some of them said guiltily: "Are we too... staring at Your Highness?"
"If you don't stare at Your Highness, who else can we stare at? Are you going to stare at the six ministers? Then when your Highness leaves, we will be in trouble soon. Remember, this is Jinling, not Peking, where His Majesty is in. It's easy for them to mess with us. Just find an excuse to make us a dilemma."
"Can't your highness let us be covered in dust?"
"They are so ugly, but they won't be unlucky!"
"Your Highness should be concerned about his identity, and have you heard of it? There is a little bit of a match between the prince and the grandson. What are we afraid of?"
"That's right, this time the bulletin will definitely make us famous. Even if we lose our official position, it's worth it!"
"Okay, Brother Wang said this very well. When we read the books of sages, we should be brave enough to do things. What are we afraid of? We can leave a name in history if we go!"
“…”
A group of censors were praising each other with different thoughts, but Zheng Duomian had sent someone to ask for someone.
Five of the six ministers came, but the minister of Rites said that he was sick and could not come. In fact, he just didn't want to get involved in this mess and just wanted to protect himself.
After everyone sat down in the main hall, Zheng Duomian said seriously: "Xing and Bo went to Jiangyin. I think everyone should guess who was unlucky, right? Then I won't say it. But I remember that Chen Buyan had a lot of people in Jinling..."
The atmosphere was stagnant, and everyone guessed that Chen Buyan was unlucky, so he kept being bored.
Zheng Duomian said: "Chen Buyan is the left minister of the Ministry of Works of Peking. He has intervened in many projects in the south of our country, and the suspect is probably the most suspected of being a master of Qian."
Qian Junhua said confusedly: "I know that those projects have been corrupted and I even talked to Your Highness, but I am not corrupt!"
Zheng Duomian glanced at the five people and sneered: "Who gave him the thread to Chen Buyan in the south? Who helped him get those benefits?"
Qian Junhua blinked and said, "I don't know! At that time, I asked you Mr. Zheng, but you said that you should investigate this matter slowly. Now that the matter has happened, Mr. Zheng, how have you investigated?"
Zheng Duomian almost let out a mouthful of blood after being said, and he shook his head and said, "The censors under me are not easy to control. They go to impeach His Royal Highness like a madman. I think I have too few things to do!"
Qian Junhua recognized this defense, so he said seriously: "Mr. Zheng, then you are incompetent. Let's change the censors to another batch."
Zheng Duomian looked at his serious expression and said seriously: "Okay, I will submit a memorial to drive these censors home to farm!"
Zhou Yingtai sneered: "They can't farm even if they go home. The fertile fields have already grown in their homes, so naturally there are farmers who will do their best."
These words opened up the true faces of the censors, but they were not thorough enough.
Qu Sheng said with disdain on his face: "When you go home, you can be said to be a family of farming and studying dragon scales. From then on, the family will become a prominent local family. This transaction will not lose, and it will make a lot of money."
Even the Minister of Personnel Ding Pu said helplessly: "Who is not good to criticize? It's all done to criticize Your Majesty, but when they go to criticize His Royal Highness, this matter is not authentic, Your Majesty will definitely be furious. Lord Zheng, hurry up and add another memorial to apologize!"
