When Han You first joined the household department, it had nothing to do with commercial taxation. The investigation was about Zhang Tongju and the Beidi family embezzling food and salary from the Mexican border army.
However, Zhang Tongju and Hua Qiong were imprisoned for another reason: their bodies were left bare.
It was because everyone pushed him down and was cleared by officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Afterwards, Han You wrote a letter to the Zhang family in the Northland, and many family members and officials in the Northland who were involved in embezzling food and salary for the Mexican border army were taken to the capital.
The outside world thought it was because of tax and money matters, not the food and salary of the border army.
Han You already had a confession. In addition to the signatures of Zhang Tongju and Hua Qiong, he also asked Situ Yu to hand over several heads of the household department, and they were all detained in the punishment department without any fanfare or arousing suspicion from the outside world.
Boss Zhou has kept it secret for two reasons.
First, if part of the money can be recovered, the Zhang family will spit out as much as they take. If the Zhang family cannot spit it out, others will spit it out too.
Second, if everyone knew about this incident, the Northern Army would be extremely disappointed and their morale would be unstable.
It is one thing for the court to have no money to distribute food and salary, but it is another matter for the court to do so and be embezzled by the officials of the court.
The border troops didn't know Zhang Tongju, the minister, or the minister. To them, the imperial court was the officials in the capital, and the officials in the capital represented the imperial court.
Boss Zhou knows the military very well, so he doesn't want everyone to know about the trouble, and wants to make up for the food and salary first.
Unexpectedly, today the Minister of Secretariat went out to open the lid.
The minister serving in Shangshu Province, Qi Bai, is the fifth rank. He does not show off his appearance when he goes to court on weekdays.
In fact, the officials of the Shangshu Province are very low-key. The official affairs and documents of the Six Ministries and Nine Temples are first submitted to the Shangshu Province. Regardless of whether the Shangshu Province can make up their minds, they must be sent to the palace for the emperor's approval.
It can be understood that Shangshu Province does not care about anything, or it can be said that they can control everything.
The serving man, Qi Bai, took out a folder from his arms and presented it with both hands.
The old eunuch glanced at the expressionless emperor, who nodded slightly.
Wen Wu walked down, took the folder and put it in front of the imperial case.
The courtiers whispered among themselves, and many of them looked shocked.
Han You behind the pillar still did not look at the emperor, but at the old coffin who was pretending to be sick.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is no exaggeration to say that Han You was able to take down a number of corrupt officials such as the Right Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the Yuanwai Lang in one fell swoop.
The emperor seemed to be reading the book, but in fact he already knew what Shen Tugang had in mind.
Han You was inexperienced and couldn't guess. He just knew that Shen Tugang had taken action. He would do it to himself. No, he would do it to him!
Sure enough, the emperor Long Yan was furious, and immediately asked the six ministers and the ministers of the nine temples to come forward and circulate the excerpts one by one.
After a while, several bosses who were also "furious" returned to the class, and the waiter Lang Qibai spoke loudly.
A detailed list of the charges against corrupt officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs. What is the evidence? How much food and salary were embezzled and who was involved.
This meant that it took more than a quarter of an hour, and Han You's expression changed again and again.
Shangshu Sheng's "information" was more comprehensive than what he knew. Not only were the numbers more detailed, but the seven people on the list were responsible for what, and their circumstances were as detailed as every family treasure.
Finally, the official of Shangshu Province made a perfect ending.
The reason why they were able to "find" these things was because when the Ministry of Finance investigated Zhang Tongju and others, they found a lot of tricks. They immediately went to the Penal Department and Jingzhao Mansion prisons for another interrogation, and finally uncovered this shocking case.
The Ministry of Justice also thanked the Ministry of Punishment, saying that the Ministry of Punishment was very cooperative and provided people with help. In order not to alert the criminal's comrades, it has been kept secret.
Han You finally understood what was going on.
In the classic case of stepping on each other, Zhang Tongju and Hua Qiong were first imprisoned in Jingzhao Mansion. In their father's territory, Han You interrogated them immediately.
Then, the commander of the Emperor's own army was the first to interrogate the case. The interrogation was conducted on his father's territory. Nothing was found during the interrogation, but officials from the Shangshu Province were asked to check for omissions.
This means that if the Minister of Secretariat had not checked for omissions, the emperor's army and the Jingzhao Mansion alone would have "missed" this shocking case. To put it more simply, it means that Yidaowei and the Jingzhao Mansion did not perform their duties at all. Responsible.
Han You did not leave work immediately.
He knew what Shen Tu Gang was going to do, step on him, but there was one thing he couldn't figure out, was it worth it?
If others don't know, how can Shen Tu Gang not know what's going on? He knows better than anyone else that Han You discovered this case, and it was the emperor who issued the hush-hush order.
Now, without the permission of the emperor, it is widely publicized, in order to step on oneself and go against the emperor's order, is it worth it?
Long Yan was furious and the emperor ordered a thorough investigation, and rewarded the Minister of Finance and the Ministry of Punishment, and also sprayed the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Now that there is "new progress", a thorough investigation must be carried out. After a general discussion, the court dismissed.
Han You didn't leave, and neither did Shen Tu Gang. All the officials left work one by one.
After the officials from the Shuangla Ministry of Industry and the Jingzhao Mansion of the imperial court walked out, the emperor slammed the table and became furious.
"Shen Tu Gang, I am so disappointed in you!"
Shen Tu Gang stood up from the embroidered pier and walked to the center of the hall while coughing. Han You also walked out from behind the pillars. Wen and Wu quickly waved their hands to let all the guards and eunuchs at the door leave.
Shen Tu Gang did not kneel down, nor did he show any fear on his face. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please listen to the old minister tell me the whole story."
"explain!"
"In recent days, many students and scholars from the South have come to Beijing. Last night, I heard the news. Many scholars from the South among the scholars talked about Zhang Tongju and Hua Qiong, who had been embezzling the food and pay of the border army for several years. For a long time, I was shocked, how could these scholars know this? Then I sent people to inquire. Unexpectedly, I went to various restaurants and poetry gatherings, but I couldn't find the source. I also sent my servants to check the students who had entered the city in the past few days, and their actions. Zishu Ling finally discovered that they all came from Nandi families, many of whom had good relations with the Zhou family during the previous dynasty."
The emperor's expression suddenly changed: "Southland...Zhou Tianfeng?!"
"I know what your Majesty is thinking. Not to mention that the misunderstanding between the old minister and Commander Han has not yet been resolved. Even if the old minister is really angry, he will not go against your majesty. The old minister stayed up all night last night and kept sending servants from the palace to investigate until The news came back early this morning. Today, there will be an uproar among scholars and people. The old minister originally wanted to report it to His Majesty, but it was already the beginning of the court. If the old minister hadn't mentioned it earlier, those scholars would have spread it. If it is spread from ten to one, the imperial court will inevitably fall into passivity."
"Yeah?"
Boss Zhou was dubious: "You mean that if this happened, it must have been instigated by Zhou Tianfeng. Zhou Tianfeng, who traveled to and from the North back then, had long known about the secret activities of Zhang Tongju and others, and now he ordered people to spread this matter, hoping to disgrace the court. Are the troops in the Northland Army unstable?"
"Yes, the old minister was so suspicious, so I didn't have time to report it to Your Majesty, and I was able to make my own opinion and point this matter out in the court."
After finishing speaking, Shen Tugang turned to look at Han You with an apology on his face: "This matter is my fault. I didn't want to take away the credit of Commander Han, but I put the country and the court's face first. I hope that Commander Han, please don’t hold grudges.”
"Remembering a grudge, look at your words... No, sir, you are exaggerating."
Han You returned the gift quickly, with a sincere look on his face: "Students are also dedicated to serving the country. It's too late to thank you, how can you hold grudges."
Shen Tu Gang let out a long sigh, looked like he couldn't help coughing, and kept shaking his head: "I have never done anything like this in my life. Taking away the credit of others is really... shameful, shameful, I still hope Commander Han investigated the matter after leaving the palace and arrested those scholars who spread the matter."
"good."
Han You said "Okay", but in his heart he cursed his mother, arresting scholars, is he crazy?
"Shentu Aiqing is interested."
Boss Zhou sighed and said to Wen Wu: "Why don't you take Shentu Aiqing to the Imperial Medical Office quickly and let the imperial doctor diagnose and treat her? If Shentu Aiqing makes a mistake, it will be a loss for the country."
Du...the old eunuch responded quickly and helped Shen Tugang away.
