When the two ministers came out, they directly named Xuan Qingwei, and the words they used were unscrupulous. "Lawless" and "unscrupulous" were simply tactics prepared to put people to death.
Moreover, after Bai Changqing and Ma Xuanlin finished speaking, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel also came out one after another to echo their opinions. However, the ones who came out of these two departments were not the ministers, but the right minister.
Then most of the civil servants from the left and right swarmed out. Standing behind Bai Changqing and Ma Xuanlin in the middle of the hall, they bowed and raised their hands and said, "I second my opinion."
The people in Wanmin Palace always had this thought in their minds: I have seen this scene before!
When the troops were being sieved, it was almost exactly the same as the scene in front of them. They were also caught with a pretext to tell the truth, and then a group of people came out to second the proposal, with an almost "rising" gesture, so that the emperor had to give in. The military has accepted the supervisory system, which is almost a shame for the military.
But this time it was Xuan Qingwei who was targeted.
There is another very interesting thing that is different from when the army was besieged before. That is, when the army was besieged, a large number of people from the right column of military positions were desperately resisting. Although they were beaten to pieces in the end, they were not far behind in terms of momentum. There was a fierce verbal exchange between the two sides.
But this time, there was an eerie silence on the military side, and many people even subconsciously distanced themselves from the black robe standing at the front.
In the entire Wanmin Palace, there was only one person in black, who maintained a smile and indifference from beginning to end. Even the officials opposite him made a gesture of forcing him to death without any ripples on his face.
"Pang Ban, you are very dissatisfied with you and Xuan Qingwei. Do you have anything to say?" The emperor's expression remained calm, and no one could easily see the joy or anger on his face. But his voice was slightly cold, and there was something strange about it when he looked at Pang Ban on the right column.
Like an outlier who was isolated by the whole temple, Pang Ban walked out of the queue unhurriedly.
"Your Majesty, I have a script!"
"It's played? Haha, it's accurate." The emperor had no intention of stopping it.
The emperor here spoke very quickly, and Ma Xuanlin and Bai Changqing on the left were too late to stop him. After all, if someone is so tough and wants to challenge even the emperor's permission, it would be a bit overstepping.
Looking at Pang Ban again, after receiving the emperor's permission, he raised his hand and took out a stack of documents and files more than three feet high from his storage bag and piled them casually at his feet.
He picked up the top of the pile of documents, flipped through it, and read aloud: "Dacheng, Licheng, and Xiaoshan Iron Furnace Manor in Fengri City's jurisdiction have been smuggling pig iron to barbarians for five years through the black market. In 2016, the huge number accounted for 40% of the real output of Xiaoshan Iron Furnace Village in five years. They colluded with each other, not only the road administration escorted it, but even the local government turned a blind eye to its smuggling crimes. So much so that Xiaoshan Iron Furnace Village was openly and openly A smuggling warehouse was set up outside the town, and only three or two village warriors were there to guard it.
Thirty-one local government officials were involved in the investigation of the Xiaoshan Tieluzhuang case, each of whom accepted at least thirty thousand taels of bribes per year.
Above [58 fo] there are oral confessions, accounts, and witnesses. "
Pang Ban was obviously giving a brief description, because the file in his hand was obviously very thick, and it was definitely more than just his few words. After reading it, he handed it over to the clerk in front of the palace, who quickly handed it over to the emperor on the stage in a polite manner.
After sending away one copy, Pang Ban didn't stop. He reached out and took the top copy from the pile of files at his feet. Continue reading: "There are two water gates in the Baijiang water area from Zhangjiamen to Yucheng. After being blocked for several days, more than 300 large ships blocked both ends, unable to advance or retreat, and were all detained. Among them, those carrying controlled materials Cargo ships account for 80% of the total, and only three of the 80% of cargo ships carrying controlled materials have complete cargo approval documents. The rest are smuggled.
To the south of Baijiang, there is a military town with no prosperous population, and there is no need for such a large amount of materials. The only destination for smuggling is the barbarians in the south.
Hundreds of thousands of property were found from the homes of the chief officers, adjutants, and deacons who served in Watergate, which was a hundred times higher than the wealth they should have. In order to continue to accept bribes, he also took the initiative to pay bribes to his superiors in exchange for a stable position, ensuring that he could make money in his position all year round. A total of thirty-three officials were implicated in the case.
The situation at other water gates on the Baijiang River besides the other two water gates is similar. Corruption is so rampant that no one cares about it. Some sailors even know nothing about the approval required for transporting goods. It is said that they have never seen an official in the three years they have been running the ship. People have boarded the ship and inspected the goods, thinking that this is the way it is in the world. "
Another file was handed into the hands of the clerk, and then handed over to the emperor.
The emperor simply turned two pages and stayed at his feet without saying a word, but the smile at the corner of his mouth was no longer visible.
Bai Changqing and Ma Xuanlin beside them were already unsteady. They could see clearly that Pang Ban was not making a memorial, but using case files to refute the accusations they had just made against Xuan Qingwei. The implication is: You see for yourselves, it’s you people in the yamen establishment who are rotten. You can’t cut off the cancer on your own, and the Xuanqing Guards have to take action.
"Lord Pang Pang, the case files are confidential, why are they being publicized in the hall? And are these cases the reason why your Xuanqing Guards abused their power and overstepped their authority to take people?" Ma Xuanlin sternly stopped Pang Ban's movements and turned his head to face him again. The emperor said: "Your Majesty, Xuanqing Guard..."
Before Ma Xuanlin could finish his words, he was silenced by Pang Ban's unhurried voice from the right.
Comparing voices? How could Ma Xuanlin's cultivation in the Qi Refining Realm compare to Pang Bambi? The difference is a thousand miles. Ma Xuanlin had difficulty breathing even after a little bit of pressure, so how could he talk?
Just listen to Pang Ban continue: "This is the extended file of the carriage and horse shops. According to the testimony, there are a total of thirty-nine carriage and horse shops involved in the series of cases of smuggling controlled materials to the barbarians, and their head offices are in the Jingxi jurisdiction. There are eighteen in the country and twenty-one outside Jingxi.
There are shipping approval documents from the carriage and horse shop, but there are no shipping approval documents from various places along the route, nor any documentary evidence from the destination, nor the authorization from the border army. However, these bulk goods can flow freely within the country. The only thing needed is to spend money on cards and money, and they can flow unimpeded along the way.
And it happens year after year, not just once in a while. "
After Pang Ban spoke, another file was handed over.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Left Prime Minister Ye Lansheng, who was leading the left team, spoke up: "It is not graceful for Pang Daren to be so arrogant and not let others speak. Moreover, the moth must be caught, but the Xuanqing Guard's unscrupulous and lawless bad habits must also be corrected. ,so......"
But Pang Ban didn't even look at Ye Lansheng. He continued to pick up the fourth file and began to read loudly. No face was given to this dignified civil servant.
Want to steal the conversation? How could Pang Ban give him a chance? These civil servants only rely on words to show off their evil deeds. He will not ask for trouble. Isn't it good to use case files to pressure others? As long as Pang Ban is willing, no one in the civil service ranks can think of speaking out.
It wasn't until he read two more files that Pang Ban bowed to the emperor on the stage and said: "Your Majesty, from the local yamen to the road administration and water administration, to the government-run workshops and shops, the state of affairs is shockingly bad. It has reached the point where it must be reorganized. The situation has reached the point. Please authorize the Xuanqing Guards to fully inspect the official establishment of various places, and eliminate pests for the country! Weeding out traitors for the world!"
