Chapter 1448: Sweep away(1/2)
Sure enough, after Zhu Houzhao gave the order, a burst of rapid steps came from outside.
The boots are quite rhythmic.
This is clearly...a team of guards came from outside.
The courtyard was in an uproar.
Zhang Mao and others looked at each other.
Although the Yan Shenggong pretended to be calm, the smile on his face disappeared.
Zhang Heling, Hou of Shouning, couldn't help but say, "Oh, didn't you agree to come here just to talk about the matter of Beijing and there is still food to eat? Why can't you leave?"
Unfortunately, no one answered him.
When Zhang Heling saw no one saying a word, he got angry. After all, he was the uncle of the country, so he wanted to save face: "Does there be food? Say the right thing? You must be trustworthy. I, Zhang Heling, are not easy to bully. I will leave here and don't give it to you today. No matter who is, the status is so noble, no one can stop me. I will leave now, and the beam will be settled. From now on, we will be cut off with one knife!"
His words were loud and loud, and they never dispersed in this hall, and they lasted for a long time.
Zhu Houzhao thought he was troublesome and couldn't help but stare at him.
But Zhang Heling also had his own pride and stared at his nephew with the same stubborn eyes.
After a short period of intertwining eyes, Zhu Houzhao actually admitted his fear. It is important to do the important things, so it is better not to have any troubles for the time being: "Three meals are in charge, and they are extremely rich. It is important to be at ease here. It is important to finish the official business first."
Zhang Heling took back his stubborn eyes and suppressed the excitement deep in his heart like a deer bumping into the air. He heard that the meal was still abundant, and thought: "Can you call me? He has been hungry for many days."
After losing 800,000 taels of silver, the Zhang family has not started a house for many days and they eat raw and cold foods.
Zhu Houzhao shook her head decisively: "No."
He was too clear about this uncle. If he gave in one step, he would not give in to the second step, otherwise he would increase his strength and gain more and more.
Zhang Heling showed regret and stopped talking.
Zhu Houzhao then said coldly: "Come the case file."
Stacks of case files were brought by the clerks.
Not only that, hundreds of Beijing inspectors were waiting for their appointments outside.
Zhu Houzhao took out the first copy first and said, "The case of Qian Zhitao and theft of the deputy commander of the Five Cities Military and Masjids. This person used theft and was incompatible with theft and was unpopular for a long time. Where is the Beijing Camp Liu Jianwen who handled this case?"
The clerks shouted: "Where is Liu Jianwen?"
Liu Jianwen came in to salute.
The Beijing Camp envoys were a little confused...
But Zhu Houzhao turned over the file and nodded: "The evidence above is quite detailed. There are confessions from three merchants in it, accusing this person of sheltering the thief, and... After verification, one of his brothers was doing the act of extorting merchants. He used to have a brother-in-law who had worked in his mansion, but now he has transferred witnesses, saying that he has a lot of stolen money in the mansion, and most of them are taboo income from theft. Come, you all see."
After saying that, pass on the file.
The Beijing Advisors took turns to see it. When they came to Chen Tianjin's place, Chen Tianjin's heart was already a little confused.
What's the meaning……
Really active?
He had some impression of Qian Zhi, and he was an honest and loyal person...
He thought in a mess, his eyes were in the case file for a long time.
This case file contains a very beautiful running script in the style of the Pavilion. It is comfortable to read and the writing is smooth, which makes people see it at a glance. There are many confessions inside, not only that, but also investigations on the financial situation of Qian Zhi. For example, it was found that he spent 80,000 to 90,000 taels of silver to buy a mansion and a slave in recent years. His family was not wealthy before, not only that, but he had no record of borrowing from the money house when purchasing a mansion. It was shocking to see so many money from unknown sources.
Chen Tianjin could hardly find any fault, but...
More than 300 cases are just the tip of the iceberg now.
this……
Chen Tianjin took a breath and finally couldn't help saying, "Your Highness, some things are rarely confused, otherwise, they will inevitably cause fear..."
This is true, he has his concerns.
If more than 300 cases are like this, then it will be great. Isn’t this going to force people to death? Isn’t this the time for Emperor Taizu and Gao, and everyone is going to be in danger?
This is poking a hornet's nest.
Zhu Houzhao only looked at Chen Tianjin, a little mockery appeared in her eyes, and she sneered: "What do you mean? Are you a Beijing Officer or a stolen official? Why are you turning your elbows out?"
Fang Jifan turned around and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, is this our duty..."
Chen Tianjin couldn't help but feel a little angry and dared not offend the prince, but he said stubbornly: "I am the one who plots the country, and Duke of Qi... must not mistake it for himself."
After working hard until now, everything is ready. Fang Jifan seems to have been exhausted. He suddenly changed his face: "A dog-like thing is usually given three points of color, and you also open a dyeing shop. What kind of thing are you? You dare to say such words to me, do you want to be Jiao Fang, right?"
Chen Tianjin was extremely angry, widened his eyes, suddenly got up, and wanted to leave.
But just after two steps, two open fire guards came in outside, and with a clang, drew their swords.
Chen Tianjin: “…”
The blade raised by the imperial guards was sharp...
"You are here, and you still want to leave?" Fang Jifan had completely put away his smile and greeted others, and he suddenly became vicious: "Also, I want to tell you the truth, what kind of bullshit you are wrong? Our Jifan will make mistakes. I know what you think. You are just afraid, but our Jifan is not afraid. I have received kindness and honor in my life. Now there are stolen officials who harm the people and eliminate evil. This is the duty of a minister. Even if you are hated by others, you will take revenge even if you die. Sit down. Otherwise, today you will start with you!"
Fang Jifan shouted loudly.
Ouyang Zhiren and others, their eyes sank, and murderous intent flashed through their eyes.
Several imperial guards stood with swords, and they were even more murderous.
Chen Tianjin was stunned. After all, he was a person who could see clearly, so he finally sat back to his original position silently.
Fang Jifan's face then calmed down, and he looked to the recording official beside him and said, "If you just now, record it intact."
Today, the Beijing Advisors' meeting was closed, and everything needed to be reported to the palace. After all, this matter is very important.
The recorder nodded quickly, picked up the pen in a hurry, and recorded the same record.
Zhu Houzhao then looked at Liu Jianwen, the Beijing Censor, and said, "What do you think about this case when handling this case?"
Liu Jianwen bowed and said, "The evidence is conclusive and there are already some insights. The subordinate officials beg the officials to issue a search order. The subordinate officials entered his residence to search and temporarily detain the person."
Zhu Houzhao looked around and said, "What do you think?"
Fang Jifan was the first to say: "I have no objection."
Xiao Jing nodded with a smile: "Your Highness, I have no objection."
Zhang Mao and others nodded one after another.
Ouyang Zhiren and others nodded.
Liang Chu thought about it and finally nodded.
However, the people from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice were quite worried, and they subconsciously looked at Chen Tianjin.
Chen Tianjin gritted his teeth and said, "No...this matter is right..."
Before he could continue, Zhu Houzhao interrupted her: "It's a pity that most people have agreed. You are the minority. If you say so, you will be sure."
Chen Tianjin: “…………”
"Which Beijing envoy issued the search decree and detention letter?"
Fang Jifan smiled and said, "Come on Mr. Chen."
"Yes, Mr. Chen is here."
Chen Tianjin frowned and frowned, saying, "Your Highness, the emperor has not agreed."
"This is the charter." Zhu Houzhao said: "Since the majority of people have decided, it must be issued. If you don't agree, you must be issued. You are the envoy of the Beijing Procuratorate and must be issued. This is a rule and no one can break it. You also agreed to this charter."
Liu Jin stood up with a grin at this moment: "Everyone must abide by the rules. If you don't, don't blame us for being polite."
The others watched coldly and looked at Chen Tianjin indifferently.
Chen Tianjin still felt it was inappropriate and still shook his head stubbornly and said, "This..."
"It's okay, anyway... I have already engraved your seal for you. I will keep it for you for the time being and I will issue it for you." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.
Chen Tianjin: “…”
"Okay, time is not waiting for anyone, so hurry up and decide the next case file."
Chen Tianjin: “…”
…………
Three days later.
Xiao Jing personally brought a stack of files and reports to the palace.
Emperor Hongzhi never expected that Xiao Jing, the envoy of the capital, had been there for three days.
Xiao Jing was worshipped: "I have seen Your Majesty."
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Xiao Jing with a slightly tired face and said, "Why have you been delayed for so many days?"
Xiao Jing said truthfully: "There are too many files."
Too many...
