Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 211 211 He really deserves to die!

Hu Weiyong's judgment on Wang Buli's final fate was based on Yang Xian.

Because this person is also extremely capable in doing things and has won the trust of His Majesty, and he is also a close confidant among his confidants.

Yang Xian is a leading figure in the school inspection.

This matter was no secret to the civil servants and generals who founded the Ming Dynasty.

Even Liu Bowen thought that Yang Xian was a talented person, but he just didn't have the courage to be the prime minister.

Hu Weiyong now compares Wang Buli to Yang Xian because the two have similarities.

The first is the extremely strong observation skills of both parties, who are willing to pay every penny and are unwilling to let go of any clues.

Hu Weiyong was most satisfied that the two of them had the same characteristic: they were "small-minded" and would always mess with others.

As a boss, you have to allow your subordinates to make mistakes so that they can be used as a guide for you.

Wang Buli must be promoted!
Especially for the assessment of classical history, the Ministry of Household Affairs had to write an inscription on Wang Buli's name.

Such talented people should be provided with a broader display space, so that they can rise step by step.

Hu Weiyong waited a little longer, waiting for the emperor to raise Wang Buli to a high position.

Qiantang didn't ask any more questions. In short, this matter was beyond the jurisdiction of Wang Buli, the historian of Jiangning County, so he just threw it out and ignored it.

Now that he heard that all the officials were afraid of Wang Buli, he simply stepped up and pushed him up.

"The Prince Consort was young and promising, and he was able to show consideration for the people's sentiments and clear the ditches in advance, thus avoiding great losses for the people of Jiangning County. Just look at what happened to the people of Shangyuan County."

Because after Yang Xian entered Zhongshu Province, he took over the power, dismissed old officials, appointed cronies, killed censors and others, and impeached court officials.

Too much of a talent!
After Wang Buli came out of the Ministry of War, everyone had a relaxed expression on their faces. Now there was a problem with the Ministry of War.

Lin Shangshu left in such a hurry. It was true that many people wanted to eat.

Promotion.

Then there will be more fun to watch.

Wang Buli also pointed to Qiantang and said, "I'm afraid Shangshu Qian is very busy."

Everyone watched Wang Buli running towards the Ministry of Works, and some who couldn't sit still ran to the Ministry of War.

Wang Buli was young and frivolous, so there was bound to be an ideological gap between the two.

Since Wang Buli was deeply loved by His Majesty, he only rewarded him with a few stones of grain. How could this be done?
We ministers should be more sensible.

"Hahaha."

Praise!

When he arrived at the Ministry of Industry, Wang Buli found that Qian Tang, the minister of the Ministry of Punishments, was here again, and he quickly saluted.

Otherwise, wouldn’t the pearl be covered in dust?
It was a great loss to the Ming Dynasty and the common people.

"I personally inspected it yesterday. The ditch dredging project and the drainage of public toilets supervised by the Prince Consort were very good. Even when I pooped, my buttocks were not irritated."

"Row."

Deng Laifa, an official from the Ministry of Industry, trotted forward quickly: "Prince-in-law, Xue Shangshu invites you to come over and have a sip of tea."

How come the husband-in-law of the dignified Ming Emperor's eldest daughter can only be relegated to the position of ninth rank in history.

Chen Ning thought for a while and then understood what Hu Weiyong meant.

Because if the pit of an aqua toilet is dug shallowly, defecating will be like throwing a stone into the water.

At this moment, he felt the eyes of the people around him looking at him, and he was looking at him intently, as if I am the prince's son-in-law, so go ahead and envy him.

Qian Tang quite agreed with Wang Buli's words: "What real evidence do you have this time?"

Find out what happened.

Xue Xiang understood that this might be another big case, so he just took a sip of tea and said with a smile:

If the emperor wanted to temper Wang Buli, he would not be promoted.

"The people below found the account book. I took a quick look and knew that this kind of thing is not something I can make a decision on."

When Deng Laifa saw Wang Buli's response, he quickly led the way with a smile on his face.

Xue Xiang poured a cup of tea for Wang Buli and said with a smile: "All the six departments thought you were here to cause trouble for me."

This kind of person seems to be in the limelight, but who dares to associate with him?
In other words, just to show off his prestige in this one-acre area of ​​​​Nanjing City, if he really lets him go outside to experience a thing or two, he might cause some big trouble.

Chen Ning then told Tu Jie to find someone to handle the matter, and he must find ways to promote Wang Buli.

"Oh."

But Wang Buli relied on the emperor's favor and showed no mercy.

Hu Weiyong sat on the chair again: "For such a great achievement, your majesty will only reward you with a few stones of grain. I'm afraid the prince-in-law will not be happy. There is no need for the censors to always impeach the prince-in-law. If he has merit, he will naturally be asked to reward him with an official position!"

The book he just brought in was taken away by Lin Shangshu, and it seemed that there was nothing else.

In the past, there was real evidence for impeachment, but after he took that position, he became empty talk and accused people unjustly.

"I'm free to cause trouble for you?" Wang Buli fanned the cattail leaf and laughed:
"Isn't this why I came to the palace after finding clues that needed to be handed over during the investigation of the case? Otherwise, do you think that I, with such a lazy temperament, would rush around in the bright sun?"

In fact, this is just a ceramic slope.

The supplier is regarded as Prince Yan’s Mansion.

Wang Buli also went to see it when he led people to inspect. Fortunately, the ditches on the street were well dredged and no water poured in. Otherwise, it would be difficult to get out.

These older ministers have also experienced it, and in short they are quite satisfied with the public toilets built by Wang Buli.

In this way, the follow-up supervision is also within the county government, and those shit bullies dare not hire someone to clean it properly.

The people benefited, the government saved a fortune, and the dung tyrants did not suffer any losses.

All in all, everyone is happy.

Lin Rong, the big-eyed minister, went to Zhu Yuanzhang with the account books of Liu Youjiang, the inspection envoy.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang knew about Wang Buli when he entered the palace.

As an emperor who likes to control everything, the palace is where his cobwebs are.

If he is like a future emperor who cannot even control the palace, then Lao Zhu is really too fucked up.

"Oh, that's what happened."

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Lin Rong's report and found out that Liu Youjiang and Zhao Xingsheng were old soldiers who had joined Zhu Yuanzhang more than ten years ago during the reign of Emperor Zhizheng of the Yuan Dynasty.

And he is an old pawn who follows him to conquer the world.

Now that Lao Zhu saw that Liu Youjiang alone had made so much money, he was extremely angry!

According to regulations, the road quotation paper needs to be prepared by the issuance office itself. When the road quotation fee is so considerable, it is enough for the Jiangdong Bridge Inspection Department Yamen to bear the cost of the road quotation paper.

However, Liu Youjiang was greedy for personal gain, and Zhao Xingsheng also made trouble after getting the money, and continued to illegally collect official papers from the court as guides. In the past three years, he took away more than 150,000 papers.

Zhu Yuanzhang was angry that these people had stolen the share of the wealth that originally belonged to the Ming Dynasty. As a result, he could not pay out the money, and he had been collecting money from the imperial court.

"How fucking audacious!"

Zhu Yuanzhang took care of these low-level old people, otherwise he would not let them work in the inspection department.

Because he also knows that there is oil and water in it.

I never thought I would go so far!
The more Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, the angrier he became. He called Mao Xiang directly and asked him to capture Zhao Xingsheng in the main hall. I wanted to question him personally.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Youjiang's operations, which reminded him of the disgusting operations of those officials in the Yuan Dynasty.

General Liu Youjiang is really good at making money.

His chickens, ducks and geese were placed beside the self-made gate on the way. As long as people passed by carrying grain, someone would ask them for rice to feed the animals.

Once a merchant passes through, he will use the excuse of being rejected and make things difficult for him in every possible way. He will not let you go unless you give him money.

I've given you too little money, but I won't let you pass.

Because there was a bridge on Jiangdong Bridge, there were merchant ships passing by on the river. He also asked people to block the fishing boats to make things difficult for the merchants. Only by paying money would the fishing boats get out of the way.

Don't think they only prey on outsiders.

Even if you are local, if you want to fish forever, you have to pay.

Liu Youjiang cheats everyone!

Zhu Yuanzhang's face became more and more sullen, and he had been accumulating anger.

These people also fought with him with their heads on their belts. Unexpectedly, after gaining some power, they began to learn from the Tatars of the Yuan Dynasty and harmed the people around them.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't bear it!

Lin Rong stood aside, not daring to look at Zhu Yuanzhang who was already red and warm at this time.

Fortunately, Mao Xiang was extremely capable in handling matters. He didn't let Zhu Yuanzhang wait long before he brought the confused Zhao Xingsheng.

When Zhao Xingsheng was kneeling on the ground, he heard Zhu Yuanzhang shouting: "Zhao Xingsheng, you are so brave!"

"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, spare your life."

"Are you guilty?"

"I know that I am guilty. I should not have drawn my sword against the prince-in-law on the street and asked him to let the Ryukyu envoy go."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his brows, "You guys still dare to play tricks on me, right?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's tone has become extremely cold: "I will give you another chance to live."

Zhao Xingsheng's head rested on the floor, hot sweat was pouring out of his forehead, and he didn't speak at all.

"Did you kill Liu Youjiang?"

"No." Zhao Xingsheng quickly raised his head and said tremblingly, "I don't dare."

He believed that he personally killed Liu Youjiang. Even if Wang Buli had the ability, he would not be able to find out.

"If you don't dare to kill him, how dare you accept his 100,000 taels of silver?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's annual imperial silver income was less than 100,000 taels, and he didn't make much money from the brothel he opened in the past. As a result, the bribes accepted by a small soldier and horse department were higher than him. How could he not be red and warm?

"I didn't?" "Your Majesty, where did this come from?"

"Your Majesty, you are wronged!"

Zhao Xingsheng insists on refusing to admit it. The only witness Liu Youjiang is dead. Anyway, there is no evidence. Even if you are the emperor, you can't accuse me unjustly!
So many old brothers are watching.

"Did I wrong you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was red and warm, asked someone to bring the iron whip, held it in his hand, and walked to Zhao Xingsheng who was kneeling in front of him:

"You said I wronged you?"

"Your Majesty, I really don't dare to take it. This matter must be a rumor. I hope your Majesty can clear my name."

"Good good."

Zhu Yuanzhang went up and gave him a whip on his back: "Are you going to tell me?"

"what!"

Zhao Xingsheng started to roll with pain at this time, tears came out, and he shouted quickly: "I am wronged, wronged!"

"Tie him to the pillar for us."

Zhu Yuanzhang gave an order, and Mao Xiang and others tied up Zhao Xingsheng, who was rolling on the ground.

Then one whip goes down, and another whip goes down.

Zhao Xingsheng screamed in pain but refused to confess.

Zhu Yuanzhang Hongwen is on top, I hate that someone has lied to us.

I wanted to give you a chance to recover the corpse, but you didn’t cherish it, right?

popping.

The sound of breaking through the air kept ringing in the hall, and Zhao Xingsheng's breath became weaker and weaker.

Only then did Lin Rong speak: "Your Majesty, if you beat me again, I will kill you. I hope you will be merciful and ask where he put the money Liu Youjiang gave him."

Zhu Yuanzhang rolled up the sleeves of his robe and even tied the robe in front of his legs to avoid tripping when he exerted his strength.

Something like this happened today, and he was very angry. Looking at Zhao Xingsheng, who looked extremely miserable, there was no trace of emotion in his eyes, and he looked like he wanted to kill him.

I knew you would have money and water, but I never thought you would be so lawless, right?

I am still worried about money, how to reward soldiers, how to pacify the four directions, and how to build various places.

As a result, the bribe you accept alone can allow me to do so many things.

Now I'm still holding on till the end!
Damn you guys!

Zhao Xingsheng opened one eye and looked at the angry Zhu Yuanzhang. He knew that he could handle it.

As long as you don't know if you are bitten to death, you may still live.

Once he admits it, his entire family will not survive.

This kind of thing must not be admitted.

Lin Rong held the account book next to Zhao Xingsheng and read out the amount of bribes Liu Youjiang paid each time he gave Zhao Xingsheng.

Zhao Xingsheng was shocked. He did not expect that Liu Youjiang, a rough man, would have the habit of keeping accounts after so many years.

Damn, you underestimated him.

He really deserves to die!

"Zhao Xingsheng, you still don't recognize it?"

"Chen, I have never accepted money from Liu Youjiang."

After Zhao Xingsheng finished speaking in one breath, he fainted.

Now he just doesn't admit it, and Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't think of any good solution.

Lin Rong closed the account book and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang. He couldn't think of any good solution.

"Your Majesty, why don't you call the Prince Consort over this matter? I'm sure he can find some clues."

"What to check!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to call Wang Buli over, he wanted to hide it for a while.

"Is it possible that if Zhao Xingsheng refuses to admit it, there will be nothing we can do against him?"

"Go search the house."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and asked Mao Xiang to make arrangements.

He doesn't want Wang Buli to get involved in this kind of dirty work yet.

"Yes."

Mao Xiang quickly took people to Zhao Xingsheng's home in the capital.

Zhu Yuanzhang threw the iron whip stained with blood to his men, walked back with a gloomy look, and sat on the dragon chair.

"I'm really angry."

Lin Rong had never looked at the account books carefully before, but now he could see many problems just by looking at them.

Liu Youjiang gives people "empty seals", which are just like empty seals.

That is, it is stamped with the stamp of the issuing agency, but does not indicate the traveler's name, appearance, reason for travel, date of departure and return, etc.

The inputs from these empty routes are not cheap to sell, otherwise they would not make a fortune.

Zhu Biao looked at the man tied to the pillar and knew that it was difficult for his father to come forward, so he stood up and stood at the door to ask if Wang Buli had left. When he heard that he was still drinking tea in the Criminal Department, he walked away.

Wang Buli was chatting casually with the two ministers. The two old men found that they were really not as knowledgeable as Wang Buli.

As the saying goes, a scholar can know the affairs of the world without going out.

But Wang Buli had never left Yingtian Mansion in his life, and considering his young age, where did he hear these rumors from?

"When I have free time, I like to read newspapers from various places, and I gradually accumulated more."

Wang Buli didn't care, since they had no way to verify it anyway.

Everyone is bragging together and actually arguing about the truth and lies, that is really too serious.

"Xue Shangshu, the prince is here."

The waiter came in and reported, and Xue Xiang quickly stood up to greet him.

He guessed that he came to see Wang Buli.

Otherwise, according to His Majesty's habit, he would ask them to go to the main hall instead of coming here in person.

Everyone saluted. After Zhu Biao came to the Ministry of Industry, he was not in a hurry. Instead, he selected a few officials to ask them about the progress of their work, as if they were here for inspection.

Several officials were flattered and reported their work quickly.

Zhu Biao nodded lightly and began to praise them, hoping that they would keep up their efforts and must use the sub-bu officials who were punished previously as a vigilant example to never follow their old path.

Yu Wenming and others responded one after another.

After wandering for a while, Zhu Biao walked into Xue Shangshu's private office. He sat on a chair and said that Xue Shangshu had been working hard recently.

Xue Xiang continued to explain his duties.

Wang Buli sat aside and thought, don't ask me to do anything.

Zhu Biao was not full, so he picked up the tea and blew a sip: "Just now, my father lost his temper in the main hall and whipped Zhao Xingsheng himself."

"Forehead."

Then Zhu Biao said: "Only people who are close to him will be whipped by the emperor himself, but Zhao Xingsheng just refuses to admit that he accepted bribes."

Wang Buli:? ? ?

He really didn't understand the meaning of Zhu Biao's words. What does it mean that someone close to him would do it himself?

You are so righteous that you are afraid of being tortured by others, right?
So the emperor wanted to torture him personally!

Qian Tang and Xue Xiang were both speechless. They had been officials for many years and had long understood the meaning of the prince's words. They were probably asking for advice now.

The person who asked was Wang Buli on the side.

Wang Buli said nothing, sitting aside and fanning himself.

Zhu Biao saw that Wang Buli didn't answer, so he said, "Two ministers, do you have any ideas?"

"Currently there are too few clues and no ideas."

Xue Xiang was the first to express his position. He was also confused as to why Wang Buli didn't take the opportunity to express himself. This clue about Guan Jian was sent by him.

Qian Tang touched his beard and shook his head: "I am not good at extracting confessions through torture."

Then the three of them looked at Wang Buli together.

Wang Buli glanced at the three people one by one: "I am the youngest here, you all expect me to give advice?"

"Of course, who knows your name, Wang Bansheng?"

"Okay, okay, let's play like this, right?"

Wang Buli also shook his head: "Although I suspect that Liu Youjiang died because he drank too much and was pushed down, pretending to commit suicide, but the scene was very clean. Even the boat was not found, the body was soaked, and there are no clues. , there is no human or material evidence.

It was really Zhao Xingsheng who did it, I can only praise him, this job is really clean!

Although there are accounts pointing to Zhao Xingsheng's great dislike, there is no witness.

Liu Youjiang's death was a death without evidence.

Zhao Xingsheng refuses to admit it, who can do anything? "

Zhu Biao nodded slightly after listening to Wang Buli's analysis. He also knew that this case was very difficult to handle.

"Now my father has sent people to search Zhao Xingsheng's home. I hope they can find some clues."
