Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 210 210 All officials are afraid of Wang Buli

The Jiangdong Bridge inspector died of drowning, which made the surrounding inspectors think it was the hand of Prince Consort Buli.

So everyone was very afraid of Wang Buli.

Most people think that as the canonical historian of Jiangning County, he is also the real culprit behind Liu Youjiang's murder. It's up to me to investigate myself. Then they won't be able to find the murderer after they die.

Chi Wu and other inspectors all sighed.

When Wang Buli led a group of police officers to Jiangdong Bridge, Chi Wu and other inspection envoys also came and saluted one after another.

Wang Buli responded. After entering the room, he sat on a chair. The deputy envoy Gu Yiwen said that he had found the account book and asked the prince-in-law to take a look.

He just responded and then said:

"Zhong Niu, how did you conduct the investigation last time? How come you didn't even discover this account?"

As the head catcher, Zhong Niu then stepped forward to plead guilty: "Prince-in-law, I went to see it just now. The hidden compartment is really exquisite and a lot of thought was put into it, so the villain didn't discover it in time."

Wang Buli glanced at Chi Wu: "I know the inspection department is a fat guy. Some of you used to make money, and I didn't care. Now you look like a rabbit dead and a fox sad. It's really disgusting."

"Prince-in-law, the inspection has been completed and there is no poison."

Wang Buli's words made Chi Wu dare not reply. Who doesn't know that you are the only one favored by the emperor?

Of course, Liu Youjiang will also sell to other scoundrels who need guidance.

As a child of a doctor's family, doesn't he know that there are very few colorless and tasteless poisons in the world?

Wang Buli did not take over the account books, but asked Gu Yiwen to wait for a while and asked Gu Yiwen to bring all the books written by Liu Youjiang to check the handwriting.

Wang Buli nodded slightly: "You did a good job. When the three months of inspection are up, I will definitely make you a regular employee."

"Prince-in-law, I saw him writing something in a notebook. I don't know what it was, so I have been looking for it since I moved to Inspector Liu's room. I finally found it today."

Because during the Hongwu period, it was difficult for you to move even without a road guide.

Whatever is put into the account today will be put into the account tomorrow. In just three years, there will be 150,000 taels.

He had heard of this kind of book for a long time, but unfortunately he had no way to get it in his hands to study it carefully.

Deputy envoy Gu Yiwen said how he found this account book.

Gu Yiwen thanked him repeatedly, saying that others could repay the relationship with the Army and Horses Division, but he, who had no military exploits and only got the opportunity by practicing bow and arrow well, naturally wanted to take the initiative to hug Wang Buli's lap.

Wang Buli took it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

If I want to kill someone, do I need to be sneaky? "

Zhong Niu knocked on Liu Youjiang's bed again and again.

What's more, filling such a book with poison will definitely cost a lot of money.

"This is what I want you to do, so as not to use this account book as a clue in the future and make it easy for others to retract your confession."

Then he settled the account once a month and gave it to Zhao Xingsheng of the Military and Horse Division. A rough calculation showed that it was about one hundred thousand taels.

How can ordinary people have the ability to kill people?

"Search carefully, in case there is anything you haven't discovered yet. I've been here today, so search carefully."

Because it is very normal for military personnel to use roads to lead people to far away places.

I will issue an imperial edict to praise you after you have done something good. Is there anyone else in the world?
As for the account book he found, Wang Buli did not reach out to touch it. Instead, he sent someone to find the account book. He suddenly found the account book so as not to poison it and kill some people.

As long as you have money.

But Sun Jiusheng didn't care. He ate and drank well with Wang Buli. What's more, his boss knew some methods of autopsy and gave him a book about Song Ci's vindication.

Moreover, the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang set up road guides and asked for money was to make it unaffordable for ordinary people like you and reduce the habit of taking the initiative to travel far away.

This was only possible because of his relationship with Zhao Xingsheng.

Leaders like Chi Wu all knew that Wang Buli was highly valued by the emperor, not to mention that everyone lived in the Nanjing circle.

In addition, Liu Youjiang's operation is that whenever a guest comes in or out, he will use the excuse as a excuse to do all kinds of tricks and only let him go if he has money to give him.

Sun Jiusheng carefully inspected the handwriting again and confirmed that the time recorded in this account was early and late, which was exactly the same as the handwriting in the book left by Liu Youjiang.

The road guide was not cheap in the first place, and since it was located on an important traffic thoroughfare outside Nanjing, a lot of money from merchants coming and going fell into Liu Youjiang's hands.

Really fat.

"Thank you, Prince Consort."

Wang Buli didn't move his nest, and a group of arresters passed by.

"There are clues. Isn't the account book a clue?"

"understood."

"Prince-in-law, have you found any clues about Liu Youjiang?" Chi Wu bowed to the side and asked, "We all have good friendships, and we are very concerned about his sudden death."

I create an identity for you so that you can travel safely and smoothly.

There are some rumors that I killed Liu Youjiang. I really don’t know what to think.

"Ah."

Sun Jiusheng looked through it carefully, smelled it, and distinguished it. He actually felt that Wang Buli's caution was a bit abnormal.

Wang Buli closed the account book and thought that keeping accounts was a good habit.

In particular, Liu Youjiang is also making continuous progress. Some of the words in the old account at the front are still misspelled. He is becoming more and more comprehensive. It seems that he is making progress on his own initiative.

"Although I am in charge of the Inspection Department, there are always new clues, and I have to report them to the Minister of War."

Wang Buli collected the account books and several documents of Liu Youjiang, and gave them to Baotou Zhongniu, asking him to keep them: "Follow me to the palace and visit Lin Shangshu."

"Yes."

Wang Buli looked at the inspectors who came to join in the fun and warned: "In the past, things were not my business, but now your Majesty's inspections are strict. If you dare to reach out to ask for tolls again, it will embarrass merchants and merchants entering the city." common people.

Tell someone to report it to the Yamen. The government naturally needs to kill chickens to scare other monkeys, so please restrain yourself. "

"I would never dare to do this."

Chi Wu and others respectfully sent Wang Buli off.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang opened this back door for them.

The purpose is to let the people retreat when they are faced with difficulties, not to move around at will, and to die in the countryside for the rest of their lives.

Because just to have a guide and pass the people along the way, a lot of money is needed.

After Wang Buli took the people away, everyone asked Gu Yiwen if he had seen the account book and what was written on it.
Of course, Gu Yiwen decided to take the initiative to report it to Wang Buli after reading it.

And he also guessed who killed his predecessor Liu Youjiang!

If he wanted to threaten Zhao Xingsheng with this account book, he would obviously end up with no burial place.

It's better to sit firmly in the position of Jiangdong Bridge inspector and embrace Wang Buli's lap, so that you can have the opportunity to make a fortune in the future.

Especially Liu Youjiang's death shocked Gu Yiwen greatly.

"How dare I look at it!"

Gu Yiwen waved his hands repeatedly: "What's more, it's such a fatal thing. When you see the cover, you quickly put it back and reported it to the Prince Consort."

It was not easy for Chi Wu and others to pursue the matter. Everyone had to keep their mouth shut about such matters, otherwise their lives would be in jeopardy if it were leaked.

"Is it true that Liu Youjiang was not killed by Wang Buli?" Gu Xing grabbed him as he walked out of the gate of the Jiangdong Bridge Inspection Department.

"Obviously." Chi Wu was also a little uncertain: "It's most likely not him. As he said, he dared to kill people in the street. If he wants to kill us subordinates, he must kill chickens and scare monkeys in an honest way. The assassination is indeed It’s not his temperament.”

As he spoke, he became firmer and lowered his voice:
"The murderer may be the account book. Wang Buli didn't let the second person read it, maybe he had some intentions."

Ledger.

"Do you have this thing?"

"Can I have it?" Chi Wu smiled and lowered his voice again:

"I didn't expect that Liu Youjiang, a big boss, had learned to keep accounts behind his back. He was afraid that he would be deeply implicated and that he would be suddenly killed."

"Yes Yes."

The two looked at each other, said nothing more, and went back to finish everything.

At least there is no room for hiding things in the hidden compartments of the bed.

Wang Buli rode Xiao Heizi into the city and walked slowly through the city gate.

The soldiers of the Military and Horse Division all remembered Wang Buli's face and quickly said hello.

When Wang Buli dredged the ditch in advance, the soldiers of the Military and Horse Division often cursed him in private, thinking about it.

I haven’t done it for many years. If you want to show off, you have to make your brothers suffer.

Looking at it now, the brothers' hard work was not in vain. At least they didn't have to soak in dirty water to clear the ditch.

If one accidentally falls into a ditch, he will have to drink the smelly water and may even get injured.

The Prince Consort is indeed very wise and can think of things that ordinary people cannot think of. Now it was their turn to laugh at the colleagues who patrolled Shangyuan County.

Therefore, the words of the beneficiaries of this heavy downpour certainly made Wang Buli's name even better. They even had time to look at each other across the bridge and see how inconvenient the people in Shangyuan County on the opposite side were to travel.

"Happiness" is all about comparison.

Merchants also choose to register their goods and pay taxes in Jiangning County. She Yi, the housekeeper, is busy with her feet on the ground. Now the taxes paid by Jiangning County may have to be doubled.

The political achievements of the county magistrate Wu Wei are as high as two or three floors!
Without an intermediary, the money would fall into the hands of the county government and the court, and many people would be tempted in the future.

Almost all the stagnant water in Jiangning County has been drained away.

However, there are still traces of soil left on it, and there are many people cleaning the streets.

This time, no beggar or the like fell into the water and died.

Because the criminals who were arrested in the last counterfeit banknote case have been cleared, and they were all taken away to farmland collectively by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Wang Buli strolled towards the imperial city.

Today, blue jade still guards the city gate.

Besides studying maps, he just likes to be with his subordinates.

What's more, standing guard for the emperor is a great honor.

"Prince-in-law, you are so majestic these days!"

Lan Yu took Wang Buli's little Heizi and handed it to his subordinates, asking him to settle it down: "A heavy rain will make all those who scold you praise you. My ears can feel cocoons."

"Hey, there will be many opportunities to praise me in the future. If you have nothing to do, just pick your own ears to avoid making noises."

"Hahaha."

Listening to Wang Buli's shameless words, Lan Yu couldn't help laughing.

This guy is getting more and more showy.

We like it!
The only pity is that this kid has no idea of ​​going to the battlefield to win military glory.

Even if you become a consort and feel comfortable eating soft food, you still don’t have a title!

"When you come out, why don't you go have a drink?"

"No, I'm getting married soon and I need to stop drinking to avoid problems when giving birth."

Wang Buli took the booklet Zhong Niu handed him. He was the only one who could enter the palace, and everyone else had to wait outside.

"What do you mean by this?"

Because of his father's magical rejuvenation, Lan Yu and other generals on the battlefield paid great attention to Wang Buli's words.

"Are you saying you shouldn't drink alcohol before having a baby?"

"Yes." Wang Buli lowered his voice and said:

"It has been passed down from my ancestors that there is nothing wrong with drinking on weekdays, but if you want your children to be healthy and smart in the future, then your seeds should not be mixed with other alcoholic substances. It is best to control the amount of alcohol for two or three times in advance. Months, even half a year for those who are weak."

Lan Yu immediately thought of the early death of his brother-in-law Chang Yuchun's third son. With his brother-in-law's temperament, he probably drank to cheer up.

"Okay, okay, let's remember it."

Lan Yu felt that he was still young, and besides wanting to be the General of the North, he also wanted to have more children and then inherit his title.

After all, with the current living standards of the Ming Dynasty, even in a wealthy family like theirs, the infant mortality rate is not low, so they can only choose to have more children.

Wang Buli took the account book and took his time.

"Wang Buli is here."

Upon hearing this, the officials of the Sixth Department quickly stood up and watched.

Which department will Wang Buli enter today?

After all, nothing good happened when he arrived.

Maybe they will have to take away a few officials, put them in jail, and spit back all they have gained over the years.

When they thought of this, everyone's hearts aroused again.

Deng Laifa was pushed out by the people from the Ministry of Punishment and asked to inquire. After all, you were able to come here to work, but it was all because of the Prince Consort.

But Deng Laifa didn't dare to step forward at this time, for fear of ruining Wang Buli's affairs.

He just said to his colleagues around him: "The pure will be clean by themselves, and the dirty will be dirty by themselves. When did our Criminal Department have the opportunity to accept bribes? You all keep this in your stomach."

Deng Laifa's words made everyone respond. Now the punishment department's status is indeed the lowest among the six departments.

Because the emperor was engaged in large-scale construction projects, the current status of the Ministry of Works was also higher than that of the Ministry of Punishments.

Even Xue Xiang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, came out. He looked at each other with Qian Tang, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

Now that it has only been two days since the heavy rain, it is most suspected that Wang Buli came here to ask about the Ministry of Works.

Then to everyone's disappointment, Wang Buli entered the Ministry of War with his book under his arm.

Wang Buli watched as all the smiles on the faces of the officials working in the Ministry of War disappeared.

"I'm not welcome?"

Listening to Wang Buli's inquiry, several Ministry of War officials at the door could only spit out two words through their teeth: "Welcome."

"Good good."

"I remember you."

After listening to Wang Buli's words, the official who answered the question inevitably trembled.

After entering the separate office room, the big-eyed Shang Shu Lin Rong saw Wang Buli coming in, and was a little surprised: "Why did you come to me today?"

"Since there has been new progress in the case of Liu Youjiang's death during Jiangdong Bridge inspection, I have to talk to Mr. Lin. It would be better if Mr. Lin reports the matter on his behalf."

After Wang Buli finished speaking, he piled the books in his hands in front of Lin Rong.

Lin Rong opened the book and looked at it suspiciously, and then his expression became extremely unnatural.

He really didn't expect that just a patrol inspector of Jiangdong Bridge, a person with no rank, could actually make so much income every day.

"Zhao Xingsheng is a veteran soldier who came from the ancient times of the country and followed His Majesty to conquer the world."

Lin Rong also had an impression of these names.

"Yes, he is an old soldier. How can he have so much money to spend in Qinhuai at night?"

Wang Buli pressed his hand and said, "Of course, I don't regard this as any fixed evidence. It's just that when I checked Liu Youjiang, I found that he had the habit of going to Qinhuai to play at night."

In fact, it is good for Wang Buli that Ye Qinhuai can become a consumption place for these corrupt officials.

It's much better than holding it all in your hands. At least the money is in circulation and can speed up the depreciation of Zhu Yuanzhang's banknotes.

Once money is out of circulation, is it still called money?
"This matter is very involved." Lin Rong asked in a low voice: "Does anyone else know about this matter?"

"There is no exodus."

Wang Buli leaned on the chair: "That's why I decided to report it to Lin Shangshu personally, so that a group of soldiers would not be left with a little money to fight for the Ming Dynasty. On the contrary, these people who stayed on the fat post would have a lot of food. , if word spreads, who would be willing to guard the border for the Ming Dynasty?"

Lin Rong nodded repeatedly, what Wang Buli said made so much sense.

"So you're not going to get involved in this matter?"

"This matter has gone beyond my control, so I should report it to the police." Wang Buli took out the cattail leaf fan he carried with him:
"I'm quite tired these days. I'm not very interested in investigating the case. I hope your Majesty can find someone else."

"Okay, I will report this matter to Your Majesty." Lin Rong put away the account book: "But even if we arrest people, we have to wait until they have finished their work in Shangyuan County."

"Shang Shu Lin is sure that no one will leak the news. Although no one has read the contents of the account book, there are many people who know about it!"

Lin Rong thought for a while again: "I will report to His Majesty immediately. You can go back."

"it is good."

Wang Buli came out of Lin Shangshu's office calmly, and then the group of officials saw their immediate boss leaving in a hurry.

Everyone was trembling in their hearts, wondering what happened to make the usually calm Lin Shangshu rush into a hurry.

Chen Ning pinched his beard and reported to Hu Weiyong: "They are all guessing which one of the six movies Wang Buli will make this time?"

"What do you say?" Hu Weiyong didn't expect Wang Buli to come into the palace again.

Chen Ning then expressed everyone's impressions of Wang Buli. He didn't come to the palace unless something happened. If something happened, some officials would be picked out and put into the newly built Jiangning County Prison.

"Hahaha."

Hu Weiyong suddenly smiled and shook his head. He somewhat understood why the emperor was so favoring to Wang Buli.

That is, Wang Buli is a sharp knife in His Majesty's hand. He will chop whoever he is asked to chop.

The fear of all officials shows that Wang Buli has reached the position of "cruel official".

As for the emperor, once the court is cleared, in order to give an explanation to the people of the world, the cruel officials will be removed and taken out to quell public anger.

Has there been any good outcome for cruel officials since ancient times?
