There is nothing to say, they are all very bad.
"Director of the Camping and Maintenance Department, who did you entrust the project behind the pharmacy to?"
I looked at my uncle and brother-in-law. They are all old men. I am afraid this level will be difficult.
"It's him."
He pointed at his uncle.
"Why? What is the relationship between you two?"
I already know what the relationship is, so I’ll ask as a routine.
"He is the eldest brother-in-law of Xiaguan. It doesn't matter who you leave it to. As long as there are no mistakes in the project, the Ministry of Works makes money, and the pharmacy project is completed, what's the problem in seeking some benefits for your family?"
Now that the matter has come to this, the boss lets go and answers more casually.
"They have all been recruited, so what do you want to say about the persecution of Prime Minister Zheng Shiyuan by you?"
This is not important, it is a routine inquiry as usual.
"These are the things that succeed but fail more than they do. They only have a little money in their pockets. They don't teach the law. They know how to rob people but don't know where to rob them. So running rampant into crowded places like pharmacies is not looking for death." Everything is known now.”
"Yes, I instigated it. After Zheng Shiyuan's friend told me, he was so frightened that he informed my uncle and asked him to deal with Zheng Shiyuan and Zheng Suocheng. I didn't expect that they were all just a bunch of idiots, and they were of no use at all. .”
After listening to the words of the head of the Maintenance Department of the Ministry of Construction, the boss of the Third Department had nothing to ask, and there was no way he could be saved, even if Jesus came.
The thing is very simple, everyone who needs to be recruited has been recruited. It is easy to talk about outsourcing projects without paying, but making money from it is a bit excessive.
The boss of the Third Division asked for more details until the wealthy businessman was brought over. After some questioning, the wealthy businessman replied with fear.
"Your Majesty, I know that I just had some business dealings with the Ministry of Industry. At that time, the Ministry of Engineering said that there was a project that was too busy, and asked me if I was interested and how long it would take to complete it."
"I didn't want to make money at first. There is no money to work for His Majesty, but the Ministry of Industry paid it directly. I had no choice but to accept the money. I hope you will understand."
There is nothing to learn from it. It doesn’t matter how you pick it up. If you pick it up, you pick it up.
The boss of the Third Division asked everyone present to sign all the documents one by one, and the matter was basically over. All that was left was for Lao Zhu to make a final decision and decide the fate of everyone present.
Lao Zhu got the testimonies of everyone present outside the Meridian Gate. The facts were clear and well-organized. It was an incident where the Ministry of Works went astray.
Although the money that was taken away belonged to the pharmacy, what was the difference between it and Lao Zhu? Just by changing his vest and pretending not to recognize him, it was really overthinking.
There was no overnight stay, and the imperial edict was issued directly.
"Ying Tianfu Yin Zheng Yiyan is suspected of dereliction of duty and will be fined half a year's salary to serve as a warning to others."
"Zheng Xiongnian of Huimin Pharmacy is young, ignorant, and has made great contributions to the world. This matter will not be pursued. I hope he can learn from it."
"Although Tang Zonglu, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was not directly involved in this matter, he allowed the money of the pharmacy to be obtained by outsiders, causing the loss of state-owned assets. Considering that he was old and frail, he was returned to his hometown to live in his old age. "
"The head of the Maintenance and Repair Department of the Ministry of Industry harmed the public and enriched his own private life. He instigated killings, ransacked his family and exterminated his family, and he was killed in the city."
The director of the Ministry of Works' Camp and Maintenance Department collapsed to the ground, regretting that if God gave him another chance, he would never act like this.
"The wealthy businessman remembers that he has worked hard even though he has no merit. Now he confiscates his property as a warning to others."
"Brother-in-law, Sledgehammer, Chen Dadong and his like will be taken to the West City and beheaded. They will be executed immediately."
"Zheng Shiyuan's friends didn't know right from wrong, so they dragged him to the West City and beheaded him."
"I am very pleased that Zheng Shiyuan, the Prime Minister of the Ministry of Industry, is not afraid of power. I specially ordered him to be transferred to the Yushitai to serve as the supervisory censor. He is an official of the seventh rank. I admire this."
Some people are happy and some are sad. Zheng Shiyuan is the biggest winner, so he is naturally overjoyed.
Zheng Xiong was fine, thinking that Lao Zhu was fine and it was the best thing that he was not implicated.
The treatment of the person responsible for confiscating the family and exterminating the clan was indeed a bit high, perhaps with the intention of killing him as a warning to others.
There is no such thing as a doctor who cannot be punished in Lao Zhu's place. He should be killed and buried.
Zheng Xiong and Zheng Yiyan looked at each other and said nothing.
He returned to his own Huimin Pharmacy and approved two thousand gu of money to Zheng Yiyan's Yingtian Mansion as an apology. After all, he was his old superior and was somewhat sentimental, so he could only give him some of these things to comfort him. .
The matter was still a bit small, leaving Lao Zhu little room for maneuver, and he was somewhat dissatisfied.
Zhu Biao followed Lao Zhu and quietly watched Lao Zhu's operations, but his eyes were unconsciously staring at the telescope and microscope that Lao Zhu was playing with.
Following Zhu Biao's gaze, Lao Zhu looked at his hand.
"Biao'er, what's wrong? You want this thing."
"No, I think this telescope is quite useful, and I'm wondering what other uses it can have."
"It has no other use, it's only useful on the battlefield."
"This is for you. It's getting late. Go to your mother's place to say hello. Go back early."
Seeing Lao Zhu starting to chase people away, Zhu Bing left with interest and went to Queen Ma's palace.
Lao Zhu didn't know when he took out a telescope from the side, took Mao Xiang with him, and went to the wall of the palace.
The beheading crowd had not left for long, and Lao Zhu silently watched the crowd leave and head to the West Market.
When they were far away, Lao Zhu took out his telescope and looked towards the West City.
At some point, a crowd gathered near the execution platform in Xishi City, pointing and whispering at the prisoners being executed on the platform.
"According to His Majesty's decree, the head of the Maintenance and Repair Department of the Ministry of Industry has harmed the public and enriched his private life. He is now beheaded in the city and will be executed immediately."
The presiding official pulled out a wooden sign and threw it down.
"cut."
At the command, half of the principal's body separated, crawled on the ground for a while, and then died.
"Cut again."
The heads were rolling in. Lao Zhu held the binoculars until he saw the execution was completed without feeling sad or happy.
Then looking at the lights of Wanjia, Lao Zhu couldn't help but feel a little crazy. He was stunned and didn't know what he saw.
Putting away the telescope, Lao Zhu slowly walked down the city wall and said to Mao Xiang.
"What do you think these people are for? Can't you do a good job? I really don't want to kill people, but I have to kill people."
"Maybe it's all about money!"
"What about you? Will you take bribes and bend the law for money?"
Listening to Lao Zhu's emotionless question, Mao Xiang broke into a cold sweat. This question was not easy to answer.
"Your Majesty, I think I am loyal and will never take bribes and bend the law for the sake of money."
"That's good."
Lao Zhu walked around with Mao Xiang, looking around with a telescope from time to time.
"Now the world seems to be settled, but in fact the threat of Meng Yuan is always there. Now with this telescope and gunpowder made of nitroglycerin, what do you think the chances of winning against Meng Yuan are."
"Wei Chen doesn't know."
Lao Zhu didn't ask any more questions and just said to himself.
"It should be able to increase by 20%. This is still small. With Xu Da commanding the entire army, there is a 90% chance of winning."
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true."
