There is absolutely no suspense about Zheng Ding's case.
All his evil deeds were exposed to the world through the root list written by Wan Liang.
Moreover, Zheng Ding was isolated and helpless.
Yang Ke regarded him as a pawn and ignored him.
To the point of treating him like a piece of shit, I wish I could stay as far away as possible.
Most importantly, he took revenge on the prince and angered the emperor.
How can you get better if you just ignore him like this?
Qi Ying, Fan Tong, and Duan Yuqing joined forces and interrogated him for three days. They thoroughly cleared up his numerous crimes and presented them to the study room.
He went to the study and presented it to the emperor.
Final result: 18 years in prison.
From then on, Zheng Ding would spend eighteen years behind bars in a dungeon.
All the stolen money embezzled by the Zheng family was spit out.
All relevant personnel involved have been dismissed.
Originally, the prosperous Zheng family was at its peak, relying on the big tree Zheng Ding to show off its power, bully men, dominate women, and run rampant.
Now, Zheng Ding has fallen.
The Zheng family's big tree was cut off at the waist, and the Zheng family no longer dared to be arrogant.
In the past, those who were bullied by the Zheng family took revenge.
What is this called?
It’s not that I don’t report it, the time has not come yet.
The Zheng family used to bully others so ruthlessly, and now they are retaliating tenfold, and they are definitely to blame.
Ten more days.
The Zheng family no longer dared to stay in the capital and moved overnight, not knowing where they went.
In Zheng Ding's case, the turmoil gradually subsided.
To everyone, Zheng Ding is the past tense. His role is nothing more than a warning and a lesson from the past, and everyone will learn from it.
If he dares to take bribes and bend the law, Zheng Ding's fate will be the fate of everyone.
Zheng Ding, who was trapped in a prison, could only do so much.
For the rest of the time, everyone will erase Zheng Ding from their memory.
However, everyone saw a person's future.
who?
Yan Qi!
Everyone knows who the person who brought down Zheng Ding is.
On the surface, it seemed that An Sihai's memorial had an effect.
But in fact, the real trader is Yan Qi.
In fact, An Sihai has been staring at Zheng Ding for many years and has always wanted to kill Zheng Ding and get rid of a cancer for the country.
However, An Sihai repeatedly found trouble, but could not do anything to Zheng Ding.
But when Yan Qi arrived at the beginning, he killed Zheng Ding with just one Xiongqi.
Who wouldn’t be afraid of this kind of skill and means?
Who can be disrespectful?
Nowadays, although Yan Qi is a third-rank official and is just a minor official in the capital, no one dares to look down upon him.
Although, Yan Qi's reputation is not very prominent in the general system.
However, among the six departments, he is already famous in Shangshu Province.
When Yan Qi's name is mentioned, no one knows it and no one is afraid of it.
After this battle, Yan Qi's reputation as "treacherous and despicable" was finally established.
…
There are many beneficiaries in Zheng Ding’s case.
Guopingren is one of them.
Fan Tong, Duan Yuqing, and Qi Ying made meritorious service in the trial and were praised by the emperor.
If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely be promoted.
Especially Qi Ying, who belongs to the neutral faction, is under great pressure from Yang Ke.
But this time, Zheng Ding was the absolute main force in trying the case.
The emperor praised him personally.
As a result, Qi Ying's position is as secure as a mountain, and some are not too afraid of Yang Ke's squeeze.
The biggest beneficiary is Wan Liang.
This guy had merit in reporting Zheng Ding, and he was the Minister of Household Affairs himself.
So, let nature take its course, Wan Liang was promoted to Minister of Household Affairs.
The Minister of Household Affairs is temporarily vacant.
The position of Minister of Household Affairs is a good one, and Yang Ke, An Sihai, and the military's Zhang Yongwu are all keeping an eye on it.
For a while, no one could win.
Therefore, there is no suitable candidate for the Minister of Household Affairs.
All the responsibilities of the household department were shouldered by Wan Liang.
Wan Liang also knew that after Zheng Ding's incident, he had completely offended Yang Ke, and could only get closer to Yan Qi and An Sihai.
Yan Qi went to the Ministry of Household Affairs and found Wan Liang to discuss the allocation of coal for the Royal Academy.
Wan Liang agreed immediately.
Yan Qi chuckled: "Thank you Wan Shangshu for your help."
"Dean Yan, you are too polite."
Wan Liang was a little embarrassed, but even more excited about being promoted. He smiled awkwardly and said, "It's all thanks to Dean Yan that I am where I am today. Dean Yan, let's do this. To express my gratitude to you, I will double the allocation to the Royal Academy." How about two baskets of coal for one student?”
Yan Qi shook his head: "No matter how much it is, you must act according to the rules. If you pay me more because I helped you, but pay less because others did not help you, what is the difference between this and Zheng Ding?"
This sentence made Wan Liang greatly embarrassed.
Wan Liang bowed and said, "I will teach you again."
Yan Qi smiled and lowered his voice: "This is not a matter of being taught or not. You have to understand how important your position is? I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at you, especially Yang Ke, who stares at you the hardest. If you don’t act according to the rules and are caught by Yang Ke, Zheng Ding’s fate will be your fate, do you understand?”
Wan Liang broke out in a cold sweat: "I know, I will definitely act according to the rules in the future, and I can't do bad things with good intentions."
The two chatted for a while.
Wan Liang sent someone to haul the coal to the Royal Academy.
Yan Qi cupped his hands and thanked him.
Wan Liang sent Yan Qi out, frowning and said: "This winter is extremely cold, and the students are not frost-resistant. There seems to be a lot of coal, but it is still not enough for heating. What should I do?"
Yan Qi blinked: "I have a way, maybe all these coals won't be used."
Wan Liang was confused: "How is that possible?"
Yan Qi patted Wan Liang on the shoulder and left with a smile.
…
That afternoon, more than a hundred people came from Jinling Gemological Academy.
Among these people are professors from various industries and industrial elites.
Yan Qi spent some money to buy the horse farm opposite the Royal Academy.
This racecourse has been abandoned for many years. It is a large yard, but it is not well managed. The owner has long since quit working, but no one has taken over.
Yan Qi, a profiteer, fell in love with this racecourse at a glance, and spent a small amount of money to acquire the racecourse.
Yan Qi plans to divide the racecourse into two.
Part of it was built as the branch of the Chinese Medicine Hall in the capital.
The other part, that's so important.
He will build two houses.
Academy of Sciences and Engineering.
Yan Qi placed more than 100 people from Gewuyuan in the racecourse.
The construction here is good and everyone is very satisfied.
That night, Yan Qi held a banquet to catch the wind and vacuum the dust for everyone.
Among these more than 100 people, more than a dozen are proficient in iron arts and forging.
Yan Qi called these people together, took out a drawing, and distributed it to everyone for review.
Everyone was a little confused.
Yan Qi asked a middle-aged man with a big beard: "Master Wang, you are very authoritative. Do you know what this is?"
Master Wang’s name is Wang Tiechui.
He has been a lifelong blacksmith and has studied meticulously. Although he has never gone to school, he is a leader in the blacksmithing industry.
Wang Tiechui studied for a long time and shook his head: "I don't understand, Dean Yan, please give me some advice."
Yan Qi smiled slightly: "This thing is called: boiler."
