As soon as Tao Shaozhang finished speaking, Zhou Pengfei became anxious.
"Mr. Tao, please don't talk nonsense. My Zhou family does run a shop that sells stone materials. But where did it come from and passed it off as good quality? Do you have ironclad proof? If you don't have ironclad proof, don't talk nonsense."
Tao Shaozhang seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Master Zhou, do you have any irrefutable proof that Deputy Commander Chu bought people's hearts, asked for money, and withheld money and food?"
Zhou Pengfei sneered, his face full of pride, and he waved his official sleeve.
"I am the supervisor!"
Tao Shaozhang's face was full of contempt.
The implication is that you are the young minister of Dali Temple, and you have to provide ironclad evidence. I don't need to. I am the supervisor, so I can bully you, but you can't. Who says you are not the supervisor?
We can’t say that those who have gained the right will have more help, while those who have lost the right will have less help. There are still good people in the court. These good people do not need everyone to sit together and study how to struggle and how to fight against evil forces. It only needs one person to stand up and do something. If it is a good thing, then others will support it for no other reason than justice.
Chu Qing is lucky, because Tao Shaozhang believes in him, Qiu Wanshan believes in him, and is already ready to intervene at any time. Wei Changfeng, who is acting recklessly, also believes in him. They believe that Chu Qing is really doing good things, so they support him unconditionally.
Chu Qing had never asked anyone to speak for him in court.
The reason why good people are good people is because they don't need others to say anything to them, and they have to stand up for what they think is right, even if it has nothing to do with them.
It is worth mentioning that Wei Changfeng has already begun to express his feelings, waiting for Li Wenli to stand up in person.
A position like Zhou Youwei's is really not worthy of Wei Changfeng, Qiu Wanshan is enough.
Tao Shaozhang really has no hard evidence, and this is something he has only heard about.
Zhou Pengfei said that there must be a reason for the groundless rumors, which is nonsense.
What Tao Shaozhang heard was true and there must be a reason.
Others were afraid of Qianqiying, but the supervisor was not. Not only that, he also wanted to take advantage of Chu Qing.
I heard that Chu Qing had extorted a lot of money and was still repairing the house. This guy wanted to get some pocket money and thought about asking his nephew's workshop to bring some materials. If Chu Qing was interested and settled the account, he would have more money. He can earn a little less, but it’s mainly because of the shame. Everyone was blackmailed by Chu Qing, but he made money from Chu Qing. What a shame. Of course, Chu Qing still has to blame him. After all, he is Zhou You For people.
Chu Qing knew who he was, so he went directly to Jingzhao Mansion to report it. Ma Rui was also ruthless and asked the soldiers to seal the shop. After that, he also took away all the stones from the warehouse and sent them to the south of the city. In Chu Qing's words, Said, that is to pay ten for one fake, which is a matter of course.
In fact, many ministers in the court are fawning over the supervisor, the incarnation of justice, and are not afraid of Qianqiying, because they feel that whoever impeaches them is standing on the opposite side of justice and is evil. As far as the moral high ground is concerned, they are The only person who occupies the highest position and has the strength to compete with them is Qiu Wanshan, who is completely amoral.
Seeing that the two were about to have a fierce confrontation, Zhou Youwei stood up.
"Your Majesty, this matter needs to be investigated to the bottom of the matter. Rumors are spreading in the streets. Scholars in the scholarly community gathered together to talk about this matter. They are quite dissatisfied. If we don't get to the bottom of this matter, the Tianjia...Tianjia's face will be in jeopardy, and the scholars and the people will be in trouble. I don’t know the depth of it, but I just think that Qianqiying is the emperor’s personal army, and every word and deed represents the heavenly family. If it is really as Lord Zhou said..."
The words were not finished, but they were clearly said.
Chu Qing belongs to you, Huang Laosi. He is torturing outside, but you are the one who is embarrassed. If everyone doesn't scold Chu Qing, they will scold you, the emperor. Fourth, you should be more careful and think carefully about it.
Huang Laosi leaned forward: "What do the people and scholars say?"
"The refugees are already weak, but Deputy Commander Chu asked them to build houses. The houses were not for them to live in. They were built on the private land of the Chu family."
The implication is that the refugees are so hungry that they are as hungry as bears. Not only do they have to work, but the houses they build do not have "property rights" and are built on the land of the Chu Mansion.
When Zhou Youwei said this, many ministers began to wonder secretly.
Yes, the money does not belong to Chu Qing, the workers are refugees and do not need to be paid, and the house is built on the land of the Chu Mansion. The more I think about it, the more I think it is a waste of money.
Zhou Pengfei said sadly again: "Your Majesty, there is something that I have also heard. It is said that Deputy Commander Chu threatened that those houses can be rented. If the refugees find work in the future and have wages, they can rent them." Leave, pay the money, and you can live there.”
Huang Laosi's pupils shrank: "Chu Qing wants to collect money?"
"That's what I heard."
This time, the concept is completely different.
Chu Qing's original intention was that if the refugees had no whereabouts, they would stay in the capital, and they could spend money to rent a house in the future instead of having to expel them.
But in Zhou Pengfei's words, it turns into refugees building a house for you and providing free labor. After the construction is completed, the refugees have to find money to "pay the rent."
Huang Laosi looked confused. He didn't know whether he believed it or not, so he didn't speak immediately.
Li Wenli, who went to court on the first day after two months, left for work.
"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Chu Qing, the deputy commander of Qianqiying."
Li Wenli looked at the Wat Ban and said loudly: "After verification, the deputy commander of Qianqiying has repeatedly asked for money from other adults. Yu Lian, the young minister of Sinong Temple, Jiang Qiang, the doctor of the Ministry of Industry, Xu Wenyuan, the director of Honglu Temple, Zhen Tongxiao, and the Ministry of Rites The person in charge is Yu Shan, the military supervisor is Lang Ma Jing..."
After reading out more than twenty names in a row, Li Wenli put down the wat board and spoke righteously: "If it is to help the refugees, the officials should donate generously, but Chu Qing, the deputy commander of Qianqiying, used his power to suppress people for personal gain, under the pretense of repairing the house. On the grounds of his residence, he asked for money and food many times. The ministers mentioned by me were raising complaints from all over the place, but they dared to be angry and dare not speak out because of Chu Qing's official position. As Mr. Zhou said, Qianqiying represents the Heavenly Family and has no regard for the king's law. There is no rule of law, and the buyer is suspected of lining his own pockets. Your Majesty should uphold justice."
After Li Wenli finished speaking, about five or six ministers came out of class and knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, that's the case. That Deputy Commander Chu was very ferocious. He brought troops from the Thousand Cavalry Battalion and broke into Wei Chen's house. When he entered, he said that Geneva gave money. He disturbed Wei Chen's house and made him run wild..."
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, you must provide justice to the humble minister. Vice Commander Chu said that the price of labor materials has increased recently, and the cost of the house he wants to repair has also become high. He also threatened the minister, saying that if he does not add more deposits, he will Whether it’s sending some collectors to throw paint and informing the neighborhood committee or not, the humble ministers don’t understand what they mean. They only know that they are arrogant and domineering and have no law..."
"You're crazy, you're crazy. You asked for money and didn't say anything. When you left, you said that Wei Chen's wife looked like a pickle jar. That's too much. That's not Wei Chen's wife, but the daughter of Wei Chen's house. My little girl. I'm just a little fatter, I don't slap people in the face, I don't curse people..."
"I took more than a dozen refugees with me, just like the scoundrel, and said that if I didn't give them money, I would let the refugees lie crying at the door of the mansion. If I dared to drive away the refugees, I would say that the humble ministers were bullying the people and harming them. There is no way to do it..."
"Your Majesty, I am raising money from everywhere, but my family has no money to live on..."
Huang Laosi was dumbfounded.
He knew that Chu Qing was bold, but he never thought that this guy was so "bad".
The fourth child had no doubt that these people were confusing right and wrong, because he knew it was Chu Qing who did it as soon as he heard what he said.
A group of people jumped out and complained, but Li Wenli frowned.
Because he found that these people who jumped out were all people Zhou Youwei had greeted in advance, but in fact, there were more than a dozen people who had been asked for money by Chu Qing.
He thought that if someone took the lead, others would jump out and impeach Chu Qing together.
But in fact, Li Wenli either overestimated the courage of other ministers or underestimated their IQ.
Those ministers who had been blackmailed and did not come out did not want to impeach Chu Qing, but thought it was "not worth it."
First of all, they are not short of money. Fan Buza has a deadly feud with Qianqiying because of Qianguan. Even if Chu Qing goes down, can the emperor still ban Qianqiying?
This is one, and the other is that the emperor has not expressed his position. If Chu Qing is to be forcibly protected, whoever stands up today will become the key concern of Qianqi Camp in the future.
After all, the same thing is said. If they are not die-hard loyalists of the Li family and Zhou Youwei, there is no need to take this risk because of Qian Guan. If they jump out, Li Wenli will not remember their good deeds, but will be killed by Qian Qi. The camp is in mind.
"Come out of the palace!"
Huang Laosi finally made a decision: "I want to see for myself what the houses for the refugees are like."
It has to be said that Tao Ruolin understands Huang Laosi just like the farmer uncle understands Stanley.
Huang Laosi is this kind of person. Even nine cows can't pull back the things he believes in, but the things he has doubts about must be seen with his own eyes.
Li Wenli and Zhou Youwei looked at each other with secret joy on their faces.
They have never seen the houses outside the city with their own eyes, but they know that they were built by refugees. If hungry refugees are allowed to repair the houses, they will all be skinny and skinny.
Furthermore, they had also heard about the state of repairs on those houses. What the hell, they must have been fooled, and they probably didn't spend much money.
In short, as long as he goes there, he can pick all kinds of problems at will, from the refugees, from the houses, from rumors, etc., and he is not afraid that the emperor will not deal with Chu Qing.
