"Sir, several people on our list escaped last night..."
However, at this moment, in Tingwei's mansion, Li Fuzheng looked at Mei Changlin with a depressed expression.
"They all escaped last night? Then confiscate their property, issue arrest documents, and arrest them and bring them to justice!"
Mei Changlin's face became much more relaxed. Since the urgent need was solved, the rest of the work was getting smoother and smoother.
This is a whole chain of interests. As long as one of them is discovered, the rest cannot escape.
Even if those guys packed up their gold and silver and ran away one by one, the properties they left behind were still worth tens of thousands.
And after they ran away, it was equivalent to admitting their crimes in disguise.
You can even skip the interrogation process and start the house search mode directly.
However, Mei Changlin didn't know that once a person focuses on something, his perspective will become narrower and narrower.
Slowly, you will only focus on the angles related to this matter, and you will not be able to see the others at all.
He is now only thinking about how to produce food and how to fill the national treasury.
But they forgot that, after all, the South Vietnam Kingdom belongs to more than just Zhao Tuo and Lu Jia.
A land with a radius of millions of miles and spanning several counties needs not only a wise king but also a capable prime minister.
What they need even more is countless officials who can help them handle political affairs!
The crime of hoarding is really too broad. When the trend first started, who in the entire city of Panyu had not participated?
He originally just wanted to use this as an excuse to deal with a few paper tigers.
But when the fire started to burn, in the end he was no longer able to control it.
In this world, there is no such thing as uneven distribution of troubles!
After being caught, many officials felt emboldened and directly hired a bigger official, and told them clearly that the other party was also involved in the hype!
Under pressure, Tingwei's Mansion could only grow longer and higher. Before they knew it, the level of officials they needed to investigate had risen to 1,500 shi!
This is already close to the top among middle-level officials. Each of these people is a top official in various departments of the imperial court.
But now, just because of a hoarder, everyone is disturbed.
In the past few days, people have been running away every night, and they didn't even say hello when they left.
Many people were still busy in the yamen during the day. At night, they changed their clothes, got on the carriage and disappeared.
The thing that should have attracted the most attention, because of Zhao Tuo's illness, suddenly became unnoticed.
The seeds of a catastrophic disaster have been planted, but now no one knows about it.
"Sir, the weather we have been trying to recover in the past four days is really a bit too warm. Do you want to..."
Seeing that Mei Changlin was in a good mood, Li Fu asked while the iron was hot.
"Check it out and then send it to the Prime Minister's Mansion for reporting. Let's see what the Prime Minister says!"
Although Lu Jia had not gotten up for many days, he still had to go through the procedures.
Regarding this point, Mei Changlin is still a little cautious.
After all, there is a difference between superior and inferior. If he doesn't even understand this rule, he is really looking for death.
"promise!"
Li Fu responded, and then hurried out to start counting.
After taking out a rough figure, he gave it to Mei Changlin for a look, and then sent someone directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
What Mei Changlin didn't expect was that the Prime Minister's Mansion would receive a reply very quickly.
For the first time, Lu Jia actually wrote the word "good" in his reply and said it himself. All officials in the Tingwei Mansion had to take two years off work.
At this moment, the entire Tingwei Mansion became excited.
Under normal circumstances, if an ordinary official wants to be promoted, in addition to having special talents, he only needs to work in a position for a few years, and then his political achievements will be above average.
After reaching the age limit, you can naturally move up to half a level or one level.
This is what the so-called grinding means. The grinding reduction can last for two years, which means that they can be promoted earlier than their colleagues.
This means that they have more choices!
This is great news for those officials who have no background or background.
"General Manager, all our hidden lines have been cut off. The entire palace is now guarded like an iron barrel. No one is allowed in or out except for those night-riding soldiers!"
Near noon, the news from Panyu City was finally sent out.
"Will such a thing happen?"
At this moment, Zhao Wengu's brows suddenly wrinkled.
"Where's Lu Jia? What's his reaction now?"
Zhao Wengu frowned and asked again.
"There is no further news yet. I just know that he entered the palace once this morning and then returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion. He even handed over a two-year investigation to the officials at the Tingwei Mansion today!"
"No! Something must have happened!"
Zhao Wengu instinctively felt that something was wrong, but at this time, the palace city was closed, and the news he wanted to convey could not be conveyed.
How can we find out what happened in the palace?
"Speed up the progress for me, and release all the handles of the officials who have 1,500 and 10 shi! Tomorrow morning, I will see that most of the yamen cannot operate!"
"promise!"
Following Zhao Wengu's order, the entire Panyu City suddenly became busy.
In the evening, the business of several pawn shops that were about to close suddenly became booming.
Moreover, all the people coming and going are noble people.
The things they brought out were each more valuable than the last. In less than an hour, they had done more business than they had done in the past year.
What's even more outrageous is that at night, when it was just past the third watch, several city gates suddenly became busy places.
Many colleagues who went out of the city together looked embarrassed. Although they were all old acquaintances, they could only pretend not to know each other at this time.
However, at this moment, the uninformed Lu family was in the palace, holding memorials one by one and discussing the results with Zhao Tuo.
Lu Jia knew in his heart that at this time, they must work together.
The more unwell Zhao Tuo is, the more clearly he should separate the division of power.
"Master Prime Minister, the Queen is here..."
While Lu Jia and the others were busy here, Gongsun Ao walked in with a strange look on his face.
"Don't you see that we are busy here? Go and tell the Queen that your Majesty has political matters to deal with here!"
Lu Jia said without changing his expression, and then continued to read the memorial in his hand.
