The memorials of Liu Qingzong and Li Bing of Xi'an Prefecture arrived in the capital six days ago.
The case was well handled.
Geng Bingzhong also confessed the former head of the Criminal Department.
The person who worked for him was not his good friend Sun Sunyao, the highly suspected left minister of the Ministry of Punishment, but Zhang Shilin, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment, whom he had never met.
Geng Pingzhong knew that if this matter was exposed, it would kill his friend, so he never told Sun Sunyao about it from beginning to end.
Zhang Shilin is a corrupt official. As long as he has money, he can take risks.
Using money to do things is very safe, both parties take risks, no personal relationships are involved, and when the time comes to report, both parties can be merciless.
Geng Huai was released and the archive was deleted because Zhang Shilin accepted a huge bribe of one thousand taels of silver from Geng Bingzhong.
The causes and consequences of this incident should be clearly recorded in the case.
And there is very sufficient evidence.
Geng Huaigang's dead body, Zhang Shilin's letters to Geng Pingzhong, as well as the letters Geng Pingzhong sent to Zhang Shilin when this matter was handled were recorded, as well as the letters of discussion between the two.
Moreover, Geng Pingzhong was a corrupt official. During his tenure as the magistrate of Xi'an, he once embezzled thirteen thousand taels of silver, and there is both physical and personal evidence.
In the end, he was sentenced to death, his whole family was exiled, and his property was confiscated.
Even with Li Bing's cooperation, if Liu Qingzong was incompetent, he would not have been able to find out so many things in just one month.
After Zhu Jianshen received the memorial, he seized Zhang Shilin's official position and imprisoned him. In less than two days, Zhang Shilin summoned them all.
Jin Yiwei's people found 23,000 taels of silver from Zhang Shilin's home. He didn't accept famous calligraphy and paintings, or precious antiques. Those things were too eye-catching for him and of no use.
The money was all found in the vegetable patch in Zhang Shilin's small yard.
In the past, Zhang Shilin had a reputation among the people, and he was called the vegetable gardener.
It is said that although Zhang Shilin was a minister of the imperial court with a distinguished status, he liked to grow vegetables. Whenever he had time, he would tend his own vegetable garden. Sometimes, in the evening, he would take advantage of the silence of the night to take care of his vegetables.
This allowed Zhang Shilin to establish his high official reputation early.
The news about the Xi'an Mansion came out, and Zhang Shilin was imprisoned. Many people did not want to believe that Zhang Shilin, who lived in poverty every day and spent a tael of silver a month, was actually a corrupt official who violated the law.
But with the evidence conclusive, everyone couldn't help but believe it.
He doesn't like growing vegetables and plowing the ground, but burying money...
The waiter of the vegetable field turned out to be the waiter of the buried silver.
Because Liu Qingzong's affairs were done well, His Majesty the Emperor was in a good mood.
Because he was in a good mood, he said so many disgusting words to Xu Youzhen.
Just now I told Xu Youzhen, don't make yourself sad.
Now Zhu Jianshen felt that he had been severely slapped in the face.
The secret report clearly stated what happened to Wang Miao.
This is not for business.
This was obviously an outing and a holiday for my little brother.
Arrive at Tianjin Port and look at the sea.
When we arrived at Yingtian Mansion, we went on a flower boat ride.
I took a special detour back to my hometown and did some things for my family.
Then we arrived in Huguang, where we were delayed for half a month. What we were doing was playing with women.
After a long drive, we finally arrived in Guangxi.
But he only stayed for two days and did nothing. He went directly to Kunming with the woman the official gave him. In addition, he also sent people to find the horse dealer and transported two big boxes back to his hometown. It's all real money and shipping is very high.
After arriving in Kunming, I became honest.
But I didn’t do anything. I just messed around and played every day...
Zhu Jianshen was extremely surprised after reading this...
The smile disappeared from his face.
The smile on Xu Youzhen's face disappeared somewhere.
Zhu Jian took a deep look at Xu Youzhen, and then handed the secret report to Zhao Huanong: "Go and let Xu Du Yushi see what the officials who follow him every day look like..."
Zhao Huanong quickly took the secret report, then walked down the jade steps and handed the secret report to Xu Youzhen.
Xu Youzhen took it with both hands and looked at it carefully.
After reading it, Xu Youzhen had an idea in her mind.
Damn, this bastard is really good at playing, even better than me...
"Your Majesty, you are so bold. Your Majesty... I request an order to go to Kunming immediately to capture Wang Miao and enforce the law of the country..."
"Well, the national law must be upright, but you don't have to go there in person. Recommend someone to me and let him go. My face hurts a little..." Zhu Jianshen said softly.
"Your Majesty, it's my fault..."
"What's your fault? Humph, no wonder you have been making insinuations in front of me in the past few months after Wang Miao left the capital. It turns out that this is the reason." Zhu Jianshen said coldly.
"You will be convinced by the one-year penalty..."
After hearing the emperor's words, Xu Youzhen was a little confused.
Why isn't Your Majesty angry? Why didn't you scold me? Did you just forfeit my salary for a year?
Although it was not Xu Youzhen who recommended Wang Miao to go to Southwest China, and he was not jointly and severally responsible, the position of censor of Youdu was secured by Xu Youzhen over a long period of time. From this aspect, Xu Youzhen was also at fault.
But Zhu Jianshen only fined Xu Youzhen one year's salary. This punishment can be said to be very light.
Zhu Jianshen was very angry.
But he controlled his temper.
There were too many things in the previous dynasty. It was normal for Xu Youzhen to make a mistake. In addition, since Yu Qian left the capital, the situation in the court has changed rapidly. Zhu Jianshen can now grasp it. Xu Youzhen played a decisive role. He cannot possibly do it at this time. , is there any excessive punishment for Xu Youzhen?
Of course, the most important thing is that he is not willing to punish Xu Youzhen. He has done so many things and suffered so much infamy. As an emperor, it is natural for him to shield his loyal ministers from the wind and rain.
In both public and private matters, Zhu Jianshen would not punish Xu Youzhen severely.
"Your Majesty, I am surrendering. I thank you, Your Majesty..." Xu Youzhen said and knelt down.
Of course he knew the emperor was angry.
But the emperor suppressed his anger at this time.
This is a special favor to yourself.
"From now on, if you have anything to say, tell me clearly and don't tempt me. Sometimes I don't understand what you mean..."
"Your Majesty, I know this, and I will never dare to do it again."
No matter how smart a person is, he is still a human being, not a god. He will make mistakes and make mistakes.
Zhu Jianshen was like this, and so was Xu Youzhen.
Although the two of them are smarter than the other, there are always details that will be overlooked.
"The comfort of the people in the southwest is also a big deal. Liu Qingzong is a good person. You can recommend him..."
"Yes, Your Majesty..."
"Also, you still need to carefully examine the people around you. You can't just fight or curse. You still need to have some talents. In this way, I can use your people with confidence in the future."
Zhu Jianshen's words were very explicit, and he almost made it clear that there was a party dispute in the court...
Although the emperor said such explicit and straightforward words.
But Xu Youzhen did not dare to accept it calmly. He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, all civil and military officials in the dynasty are your Majesty's ministers. Those who have no ministers..."
