The Retirement of the Demon Lord: Chapter 804 Darkness Chencang, and anxiety
"The Retirement of the Demon Lord ( Find the latest chapter!
"You...you..."
The ministers were so angry that they jumped at Li Mengyao's almost robber-like theory.
"Excuse me, the corrupt officials discussed by the adults are Zhai Wenyao, the governor of Wuchang Prefecture?" Gongliang Junyi, who had been standing on the side all morning, suddenly asked.
It has been said from the beginning that it is Zhai Wenyao!
Everyone quarreled for a long time and Gongliang Junyi didn't know what they were arguing about, which made the ministers depressed.
But everyone thought about it, this matter has nothing to do with Dongji Office. Dongji Office and Gongwei Division have always been at odds. It's okay not to take advantage of the opportunity to fall into trouble, and it's normal for people to ignore it.
"That's right." Yuan Ye, the Minister of the Ministry of Housing, saw that no one was in a good mood to answer him, so he had to stand up and give him a response.
"If you ask Zhai Wenyao, then I can answer your disputes." Gongliang Junyi said.
All the ministers were dissatisfied with a question mark. I am afraid that the parties involved in this matter are inexplicable. Every time there is this Spring Festival couplet, the matter is particularly disturbed. This Spring couplet man has to be arrested and interrogated to find out what tricks he has done. Now the factory boss of Dongji Factory suddenly intervenes, saying that he knows what's going on?
You don't think it's weird that there are ghosts.
"Master Gongliang is very intelligent in both human and military affairs, and everyone has heard of it. I don't know how Master Gongliang has and insight, I would like to hear the details." Zhou Chengjie, Minister of Personnel, said.
"The matter of your quarrel is a case that I'm going to report today." Gongliang Junyi suddenly came out and reported to the emperor, "As for the corruption case of Zhai Wenyao, the governor of Wuchang government, Dongji Office has already obtained a lot of results and must report it. emperor!"
The case that the Dongji Office is investigating? ?
The ministers are even more confused, why is it the turn of the Dongji Office again? The other side of Wuchang Mansion has not been smoothed out yet, and the Dongji Office has already checked it out? You have to find someone first!
The situation became more and more chaotic, and no one was in the mood to continue to pursue Li Mengyao's unreasonableness.
"Speak." The emperor pondered.
"This case is sponsored by the subordinate of the minister, please explain it."
"Xuan."
After a while, a man with benevolent features and ordinary features entered the hall wearing the luxurious official robe of Dongji Works Factory and saluted the emperor.
"My minister, the director of Dongji Works Factory, Bai Song."
The Dongji Works Factory experienced the last prince's rebellion, and after the betrayal of the factory's Duke Wei Xingchao, the core characters were almost changed. He is the confidant of the newly appointed factory father-in-law Liang Junyi. Everyone looks familiar, but they don't remember where they met.
In fact, Bai Song was a member of Gongliang Junyi who responded to Gongliang Junyi's fight against the chaos on the night of the prince's rebellion, but it was not as good as Liu Yunlu and Gongliang Junyi.
This is of course also related to his dislike of being in the limelight and his rather ordinary appearance.
"Please. Gongliang Junyi said that you were handling Zhai Wenyao's case. Where did you start?" The emperor raised his hand.
"Zhai Wenyao was imprisoned in the Dongji Office, and he has confessed in full under the interrogation. His corruption is under the umbrella of Lu Anshun, the governor of Guangjiang..."
"Wait, why is this Zhai Wenyao imprisoned in the Dongji Factory again? Are there two Zhai Wenyao in Wuchang House?" Minister of War Minister Dong Kuishan scratched his head. Today's Zaochao is more scalding than the Zaochao in his life combined.
He asked the question that all the ministers were confused about.
"There is only one governor in Wuchang Mansion, and there is only one Zhai Wenyao, and he was captured by me." Bai Song bowed his head a little embarrassedly and said to the ministers.
It was very unnatural for him, a small person, to be watched by so many big men at once. In the future, I have to tell the boss, don't let him go after this kind of task that is too much attention to, Alexander.
"Isn't the person arrested by the Spring Festival couplet? What does it have to do with you?" Dong Kuishan, Minister of War, continued to ask.
"Wuchang Mansion was severely hit by the disaster, and even though the imperial court raised funds for disaster relief, there were still grievances from the people. So I was instructed to investigate whether there was any other secret. Oh, it was a coincidence that the Spring Festival couplet from the Gongwei Division was ordered to **** foreign guests to Wuchang Mansion to see the disaster relief in the Central Plains. Scene. In order to reduce the waste of public funds, we shared a carriage, and I was the groom... Zhai Wenyao was exposed and secretly exchanged rice, and I was at the scene, and the stolen goods were captured." Bai Song said slowly.
This way, he and the groom are always anxious every day. He is afraid that some perverts will knock on his door in the middle of the night. After all, the Spring Festival couplet is cold and cold, but it's not just the name... That night, the two of them on the roadside just went to urinate and urinated a young man with a disheveled dress. The handsome guy has already made him feel morally degraded.
Listening to what Bai Song said, many ministers with clear minds had noticed something, and their backs were chilled.
Lu Anshun, the governor of Guangjiang, hurriedly reported to the person who arrested Gongweisi, fearing that he would be caught! He couldn't wait to hand over Zhai Wenyao, and even the performance of the person who took action to imprison the Gongweisi was equivalent to disguised confirmation of Bai Song's interrogation.
"This..." Chu Weiwu opened his mouth and was speechless.
Are you focusing too much on Kouji, what are you missing?
"The Dongji Office was ordered to thoroughly investigate the disaster relief matters in Wuchang House, and to arrest Zhai Wenyao, a corrupt official, is not illegal, right... Master Bo, Master Jiang?"
"Of course not." Bo Rui and Jiang Shufa responded.
The Dongji Office had the authority to supervise the officials appointed by the imperial court, and the investigation, interrogation and arrest of officials who violated the law could be described as their own affairs.
"You continue to report." The emperor said to Bai Song.
"Yes. Lu Anshun has bribed the officials of the imperial court for many years, and deliberately neglected to deal with the floods, resulting in perennial floods in the Guangjiang River. Every year, the imperial court has a huge amount of funds for disaster relief in the Guangjiang River. He can make a big fuss here, lose a lot of wealth and enrich his own pockets Zhai Wenyao hid the black account with Lu Anshun in the ravine of his hometown, and I have sent someone to find the account book." Bai Song continued to report.
"After investigation, Lu Anshun's guilt was conclusive, and the minister reported this case to the emperor for approval of arrest!" Gongliang Junyi added.
The emperor was sitting in a high position, and he had already remembered the pale faces of the officials below.
Mei Qianxiao volunteered to assist in the investigation, but he did not expect that such an important official position as the governor would be involved, especially Lu Anshun, a well-reputed person. But now that I have looked at it, I know that it involves a lot, and even there are many people standing here who can't figure out the relationship.
Catching this big fish will definitely clear up the filth of the government and calm the people's grievances about the floods in the Guangjiang River. Of course, it is a great joy. However, how to stabilize the turmoil of court officials still requires the emperor to spend time thinking about it. Whether it is good for the court to knock the mountain and shake the tiger or uproot it is not a conclusion that can be reached in a short time.
"It's true that my subordinates didn't arrest anyone, so there is something wrong with Lord Lu who arrests me inexplicably?" Li Mengyao stood up at this time.
Ouch, the charge of arresting someone like you now is a piece of shit! Master Lu's dereliction of duty, embezzlement, and gang formation are not serious crimes! If there are too many lice, you won't be afraid of itching, so you don't have to join in the fun!
But all the ministers were afraid that they didn't know that they were wrong, but the people that Li Mengyao was arrested were the emperor's most concern!
"Li Mengyao, how is the situation of the Wuchang House branch?" The emperor asked Li Mengyao.
"Back to the emperor, there is a new letter from the sub-station of Wuchang Mansion, but the cipher code of the letter does not match, there may be a problem. I just received a reply from Jiang Hao, Wuchang Mansion has been closed, and Jiang Hao's team cannot enter." Li Mengyao mentioned. This stubble, there is a faint worry between the eyebrows.
Before departure, Mei Qianxiao clapped her chest to make sure she didn't think so much. After all, thorough investigation and disaster relief was not the business of the Gongwei Division.
Later, she found out that this matter is not simple after in-depth understanding. It is very likely that a careless implication is very huge... Then it is difficult to guarantee the safety of Mei Qianxiao.
Worrying about the safety of his subordinates, Li Mengyao also arranged for Jiang Hao's team to go to a sub-station near the city to do errands, so that they could support at any time. Sure enough, they got offended by a boss of the level of the governor. The entire sub-station said that if you were arrested, they would be arrested. Even the city was blocked. This was beyond their expectations. head off.
"Wuchang Mansion has been closed? This Lu Anshun tried his best to hide his true self! The Ministry of Military Affairs obeyed the order, and the military battalion dispatched 10,000 light cavalry troops, and immediately set off for Wuchang Mansion to rescue the detained Gongwei Division and arrest Lu Anshun. Bring it to justice!" The emperor said solemnly.
"Let's order!" Dong Kuishan, Minister of the Ministry of War, hurriedly received the order.
Seeing that the emperor seemed to be in a hurry, Eunuch Chen quickly stepped forward and said softly: "Don't be anxious, the emperor, Mei Qianxiao can protect yourself, if you appear too impatient, it is easy for someone who is interested to see something."
"How can you not be impatient? Lu Anshun has at least 5,000 troops~www.mtlnovel.com~ Lu Anshun thinks that Zhai Wenyao is still in his hands, and it's hard to say that he can't fight to his death. Sighed softly.
Eunuch Chen thought it made sense... Mei Qianxiao had three heads and six arms, and was no match for five thousand elites, not to mention that he was the emperor's own son, so he really could not afford to lose.
"Your Majesty, this minister is also wrong... The minister listened to the slander and transferred 10,000 elites to Lu Anshun before leaving!" Chu Weiwu knelt down and pleaded guilty.
"Ten thousand?!" The emperor was suddenly in a trance. Lu Anshun, a small Wuchang mansion, had more than ten thousand troops, which was really not ordinary!
If that Mei Qianxiao suffers, he will face more than five thousand elite soldiers!
"The Minister of Military Affairs obeyed the order and ordered Jiujiang and Zhongyu to send 30,000 soldiers and horses each to relieve the danger of Wuchang Mansion, and make sure to rescue innocent people! Give me a military order!" The emperor patted the dragon chair and said angrily.
"Yes!" Dong Kuishan responded again.
There are few wars in the Central Plains. This sudden mobilization of 70,000 troops can be regarded as a major event! The three sides are surrounded by forces, even if Lu Anshun wants to rebel, he can only be besieged and wiped out! With such an arrangement, Lu Anshun was powerless even if he wanted to resist.
The officials did not know that there was another reason for the emperor's anxiety, but when the emperor was so upset by Lu Anshun's anger, he sent heavy troops to arrest him in order to be safe.
"This minister is willing to be the vanguard and go to Wuchang Mansion to take back the troops and horses of the headquarters, so as to avoid casualties! Please give the minister a chance to commit crimes and make merit!" Chu Weiwu quickly requested.
Chu Weiwu didn't say this, and the emperor also meant it. These soldiers were all soldiers trained by the imperial court. How could they lose their lives for a corrupt official? Of course, it is best for Chu Weiwu to take back his troops and let Lu Anshun have no soldiers to fight against.
"I'll give you this opportunity to leave immediately!"
