Because the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Six Ministries were all on Yu Street, not very far from each other. I heard that someone actually gave money to Zhao Yu, and several ministers became curious. Who the hell is so brave?
How dare you openly bribe the Metropolitan Procuratorate in broad daylight...
If it wasn't for bribery, why give them money?
Don’t you know we are forming a group to boycott Zhao Yu? Walk over and take a look.
"My lords, this is..." Zhao Yuzheng was counting money with his happily men, when he saw the three great ministers coming hand in hand, wondering what they were doing?
"Master Zhao, there is a way to make money." Ma Wuming looked at it and saw that the silver was a huge amount of 20,000 taels. "Don't make a fortune alone. Whatever benefits you have, let us enjoy it."
"Do I still have to report to your Ministry of Works the progress of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" Zhao Yu said coldly.
"That's not necessary." Ma Wuming said with a smile, "But your Metropolitan Procuratorate is Qingshui Yamen, where did you get so much money?" Could it be granted by Master Chen Wenqi? "
"But it's not me." Chen Wenqi also became curious, "We can't control the income of your Metropolitan Procuratorate, but you, Mr. Zhao Yu, don't have to be secretive, right? Did the emperor reward you?"
"It was a gift from a friend," Zhao Yu said, "You adults are not friends enough, but you don't know that I also have friends!"
"Donations are not free gifts." Shen Wen said hurriedly at the side.
"What kind of donation? It's a gift from a friend!" Zhao Yu said, "It's two friends, Dean Shangguan of the White Sugar Factory, and Supervisor Qu Baimei. They saw that the Inspectorate was in such a state of disrepair, so they generously donated money to help. It's considered a personal gift. But I’m in a public account, isn’t this against the rules?”
"Oh..." The three ministers looked at each other in silence, because they seemed to have no control over what these two said, and they couldn't afford to offend them.
Both of them have no official position in the court, and the sugar factory is also their private property. They can give money to whomever they want... Even if it is given to Zhao Yu himself, they can't say anything, because the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the sugar factory also have money. There is no stake at all, and besides, Zhao Yu is already in the public account, so it is reasonable and there is nothing wrong with it.
While chatting, they heard the sound of horse hooves on the street. Everyone looked outside the door and saw several brothers from Xuan Yiwei walking in with six large boxes, saying that they were sent by Miss Ling'er to Mr. Zhao Yu. One hundred thousand taels of silver...
When I opened the box, I saw that it was filled with golden bricks. The light was so bright that it almost blinded the guy's eyes! One hundred thousand taels of silver are converted into gold, which is about more than 600 kilograms, and more than a hundred kilograms in a box...it's all pure pure gold.
Miss Ling'er really keeps her word! One hundred thousand taels of silver will be delivered immediately...
Chen Wenqi, Ma Wuming, and Lu Jing were surprised, envious, jealous, and angry. They watched eagerly as the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate counted the numbers and put them into the warehouse one by one. They couldn't say a word. .
"My three lords, you see I'm still busy here, so I won't invite you in for tea. I'm sorry to show you my kindness today, but I'm going to come and ask for advice another day!" Zhao Yu gave the three ministers an eviction order without politeness. , and between the words, a sharp edge suddenly appeared!
The three of them hurriedly said, "Don't dare, don't dare, I'll see you later, don't say goodbye..."
"Why do I feel that what Zhao Ziyu just said was murderous?" Chen Wenqi had already realized that something might not be good.
"He really has a clear distinction between love and hate. He doesn't give us any face in front of so many people." Lu Jing said.
"He has always had this temper, but today he seems to have a particularly bad temper... I think everyone should be careful when they go back, because this guy might bite someone!" Chen Wenqi said.
"I'm afraid he will bite my bird!" Ma Wuming said, "I was bitten by him two days ago. I lost my salary for two years, and also canceled the salary. If I hadn't held it, my job would have been over. Everyone in the department is eager to bite him! A few guys from the Camp and Repair Department even asked me about his family’s ancestral graves..."
"Zhao Yu has a temper that he would rather break than bend, and he will retaliate." Chen Wenqi said, "We have defeated him, and sooner or later he will come back with revenge. We are not afraid of him, but it is hard to say about the people working below."
"If he dares to come to our military headquarters and get a hold of him, my people will probably beat him with big sticks!" Lu Jing said, "Everyone hates him so much that they will say all kinds of nasty things. This is I can't even stop it if it offends the public."
"I think that's not the case." Chen Wenqi said, "But you still have to be careful. Zhao Yu is not Liu Qiheng. This guy doesn't take soft and hard, and he doesn't fear anyone."
"The young prince and Mr. Xiao are really worthless!" Ma Wuming said, "They are all so embarrassed by his involvement, how come they come here to please them?"
"It's not unusual for the young prince to do this, but it's extremely strange that Xiao Chen would give in to him." Chen Wenqi said.
"This Zhao Yu is also unkind. Xiao Chen was so kind to him back then. The myopia glasses on his nose were given to him by Xiao Chen," Lu Jing said.
"Even if it was acting, it was too much." Ma Wuming said, "I saw that Xiao Chen's face turned black with anger at that time."
"The emperor's face doesn't look good either." Lu Jing said, "I probably didn't expect him to attack so violently."
A few people chatted and each went back to the Yamen. There was nothing to say that day, everything was normal.
The next morning was amazing!
As soon as the Household Department opened its doors, Wang Jian, the director of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, led a group of people to storm in aggressively, claiming to want to check the accounts of the Household Department! When do you want it? Want it now! Doesn't your household department have accounts?
Let’s stop the investigation for the time being. We’ll call all the officials from the branch office, the finance department, and the warehouse department. Not only will we check the accounts, but we’ll also question them face to face!
Our annual summer taxes and autumn grains, rewards and salaries, local taxes, transportation fees, and trade with various places, including mutual exchange of merchant ships, fish, salt, tea, treasure banknotes, taxes, collection of stolen goods fines, detailed bills of house raids, and water transport cashiers , military storage cashier, warehouse grain storage... all of these must be checked, and no one can be left behind!
What? If we investigate like this, you won't be able to do anything? That's none of my business, I'll just do my errands!
The Ministry of Household Affairs was in chaos, and the Ministry of Works was even more chaotic. Xuchang, the governor, came in directly carrying a seal with the seal of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Because all the project bills of the Ministry of Industry need to be thoroughly investigated, all cashier's funds for all projects currently under construction have to be sealed and suspended. When will they be opened? Wait until we finish checking.
When will the investigation be completed? Who knows?
Maybe it's a month or two, maybe it's six months or a year. In short, we are ordered to conduct a thorough investigation, and we must get to the bottom of it!
Not to mention large-scale engineering projects, even the nails in your warehouse must be counted one by one, and you can’t miss even one nail!
By the way, there was a fire in the palace a few years ago, so you were responsible for the renovations, right? Please find all the craftsmen who were working at that time, and we will investigate their details one by one!
What if there are remnants of Tianxuanhui among them, remnants of the previous dynasty, secretly digging tunnels, setting traps, and setting up traps in the palace?
This is all impossible to say...
