The Villain Just Wants To Make Money - Chapter 86
At first, the ministers thought that Xie Gu was just for fun. After all, the emperor did too many things as he wanted, and the next second he made a decision one second, he might slap his face happily.
The most powerful example is Gongziyan? At the beginning, he clamored for the beheading of the whole family, but the next day he sealed Ren Gongziyan as a noble concubine.
The emperor’s mind is hard to guess.
But three days later, when an official from the second rank was pulled down and beheaded in public in the morning, everyone realized that – I’m going, Your Majesty is really playing.
In just half a month, there have been no less than ten officials who have been dragged from the morning to the top. Basically, new officials are dragged away every day. Sometimes three peaks can be dragged away. The private underground casinos are open every day. Which adult will be pulled down tomorrow – it’s just that this casino also has shares in the bones.
If the emperor himself participates in it, it is not easy to control the odds and make a fortune?
He is now looking at the betting situation to decide who to drag down the next day, and he controls the bettors to taste the sweetness, but he only makes a lot of money.
But what Xie Gu really earned was not the money in the casino. What he cared about was the money and connections behind the fallen officials.
All of these officials who dragged on have real charges, and they are usually the ones who have accumulated a lot of misfortunes for many years. The amount of corruption and bribes alone is not small, and a large number of stakeholders can be implicated behind them. It belongs to pulling radish and bringing out a piece of mud.
So these people usually have two things in common.
One is rich. They embezzle and take bribes. They either hide the money or spend it. After all, there is a destination. Over the years, the wealth in the palace has been quite amazing, so Xie Gu directly copied all the money into the state treasury, although it would not fill it all at once. , but it’s still much better than the beginning of being poor, and the more money in the treasury, the better the follow-up plan of Xie Gu.
However, Xie Gu’s character is too plucked. It is obviously not enough to confiscate the family properties of these criminal officials. He is not so kind to be poor and make others rich, so this involves the second point he values— network.
These officials usually have an intricate network of interests behind them, involving not only other officials, but also businessmen, artisans, farmers, etc., and the impact is extremely far-reaching. If one is pulled out, even if this network is broken, it will be linked later. This string of people will suffer, and they will not be able to live without it.
And Xie Gu only dared to mess around just because he was the emperor. If he was just an ordinary minister, it would be difficult to get everything, but even the emperor would not be able to poke a hole here and leave. Otherwise, after the hole is big, the country is afraid that it will have a hole.
So he directly let those industries under his command make up for it.
When an official was knocked down, he could only pick one of the other officials to make up for it, but the businessman behind the official was copied, and the market gap and interpersonal communication left behind were all taken over by the shop that Xie Gu secretly controlled. In terms of long-term interests, it is obviously more profitable than raiding homes, and it also looks good in face. As long as it is properly controlled, it will only be mutually beneficial to the people.
Therefore, Xie Gu only selected the target for surgery after considering various aspects.
However, Xie Gu knew which people were dragged down, and the ministers were very panicked.
It is said that when the water is clear, there will be no fish, especially the virtue of His Majesty in the past. Those who were too clear were chopped off. Now, there is basically no one who is still standing in the courtroom. Contacts, if anyone really catches something and reports it, no one knows whether His Majesty will be sentenced!
For half a month, the whole court was full of turmoil. The imperial decree issued by Xie Gu said that he could go directly to the yamen to complain, or he could go to the messenger he sent in private. Naturally, all those who complained from the Shangguan yamen were heard publicly, but In private, no one knows who found the messenger, and whether this messenger was set up to conceal the identities of the whistleblowers or to let Xie Gu make up a reason to punish people casually, no one knows.
At this time, in the Jianjia Hall, listening to Abu’s report, Young Master Yan couldn’t help his eyes shining brightly: “Okay!”
He whispered, feeling extremely excited, and quickly confirmed to Abu: “Are you sure about the identity of the old man? And Geng Yang was really acquitted?”
Abu glanced left and right to confirm that there was no palace servant nearby, and nodded immediately: “It is absolutely true, my subordinate has already inquired about it, and it was only by chance that I found out about this! In addition, Geng Wenshan went to clear the link, We have also found relevant evidence, and we can make trouble at any time.”
There was a sneer on the corner of Gongziyan’s mouth: “Hunjun is indeed a faint, I thought he was awakened by suddenly rectifying the atmosphere of the court, but if he can really understand the people’s feelings, how can he still not know it now? It is even involved. This… I’ve really hit the jackpot.”
Abu asked in a low voice: “Master, since we have all the evidence now, can we start?”
The son said, “Naturally, since he doesn’t ‘know’ that Geng Wenshan’s behavior is bad, then we will let him know.”
Abu excitedly responded: “Yes!” Then he quickly left the hall.
Seeing Abu leaving, Young Master Yan turned over the scroll beside him again, and there was a smile of determination on the corner of his lips.
In the past, this Shun Jun had neglected him, but he also relaxed the manpower of Jianjia Temple, which naturally gave him more opportunities to contact the outside world. Now Abu doesn’t need to hide too much in the temple, but he is more comfortable.
And that’s how the news of Geng Yang’s murder in the street came into Gong Ziyan’s ears.
Geng Yang is a famous playboy, and Gong Ziyan has also dealt with him. The relationship between the two has never been very good, but Geng Yang’s father, Geng Wenshan, was once deeply favored by the drowsy emperor, and Geng Yang was also the only son of Geng Wenshan. So this dude has also done a lot of evil things by relying on his father’s protection of the faint-hearted king. Although he has never killed anyone before, hasn’t he done it now?
After hearing the news, Gong Ziyan immediately realized that this was an opportunity.
Geng Yang kills people in the street, Geng Wenshan will do his best to rescue the only son, and the faint-hearted gentleman’s character is short-sighted, and it might be suppressed if he really makes trouble, but can the people agree to this? On weekdays, the common people are just a mess of sand. Without integration, they will be easily suppressed, but when they protest in an organized manner, can the monarch really kill them in one go?
Therefore, Gongziyan believes that as long as it is used properly, in the end, regardless of whether Geng Yang will be punished or not, the scumbag will definitely lose the people’s hearts.
So he sent the order on the same day, on the one hand to collect relevant witness evidence, on the other hand to inquire about Geng Wenshan’s actions, and even help secretly, just waiting for the incident to happen one day, and directly push people to hell.
But who would have known that after two days, the emperor would issue the imperial decree, and then the officials from the second rank would be dragged down.
The vigilant Young Master Yan naturally closed his hands cautiously, but he did not give up completely. In addition to the covert investigation of Geng Wenshan, he also managed to suppress a lot of complaints against Geng Wenshan, so as to make it clear that the faint-hearted gentleman intended to protect Geng Wenshan. The appearance of Wenshan—Although Gongziyan thinks that Lord Shun will definitely protect Geng Wenshan, what if?
To this day, all the evidence is complete, and there is even such an unexpected gain. In addition, the drowsy lord did not punish Geng Wenshan, and he was more sure of what Gong Ziyan was thinking, so he immediately ordered to start preparations. When there is a big trouble in the courtroom tomorrow, it is best that the drowsy lord really insists on sheltering, so that he will have the opportunity to show his fists and kicks.
Speaking of which, it went very smoothly, but…
Thinking of the “favored” concubine Wan Teng in Guan Ju Palace, Gong Ziyan also felt a headache – Wan Teng Linlang is not a serious person, but the secret army of Beiling in her hands is so important that even if she can’t accept it as a You can use it for yourself, but you must not let the faint-hearted get it!
…
Sept. 17.
Starting ten days ago, there have been several heavy rains in a row, and the weather has turned cold. Just like the hearts of all the ministers, it’s cold and cold, because no one knows if they will be dragged down tomorrow. Can you save a little life after going down?
Only the first-rank officers are more at ease, because at present, the highest-rank officials who have been dragged down are from the second-rank. After all, they cannot be punished as doctors.
As a result, just went to court today, and everyone found that Jing Zhaoyin was late.
This realization made everyone nervous.
Because the last time Jingzhao Yin was late, a second-rank official was dragged down.
– At that time, someone went to the yamen to sue the second-rank official. The words were sincere and fierce, and the evidence was very sufficient. Jing Zhaoyin had received Xie Gu’s order, and naturally did not dare to neglect it. After confirming the evidence and logic a little , and immediately rushed to the Council Hall with the paper. The morning of that day was dragged directly into the afternoon. Many adults suffered from low blood sugar. Cut in two without shouting twice.
Although that person was indeed not wronged, many ministers rolled their eyes and fainted again.
And this time Jing Zhaoyin is late, which adult is unlucky again?
Everyone present, especially the officials from the second-grade dangerous grade, have already started to tingle their scalps, and they quickly recalled what they had done, what enemies they had caused, if they were dragged down, would they still die, etc. Full of philosophical questions, his face was a little pale, and he still managed not to fall down.
This time Jing Zhao Yin was a little late.
Nowadays, the morning court usually disperses in more than half an hour, mainly because Xie Gu cut off all the nonsense of these ministers. There are only so many things to report every day, and it does not take too long. Today, Jingzhao Yin It was only after Zaochao was about to disperse that he rushed in in a hurry. As soon as he entered the Hall of Government Affairs, he immediately fell to his knees on the ground, holding a stack of papers in his hand, his voice panicked.
“Meet Your Majesty! Someone is suing Geng Wenshan, Minister of Rites, today! Angrily scolding Geng Wenshan for condoning and protecting his only son, Geng Yang, to commit murder in the street, killing an innocent old man due to a quarrel, but he was finally acquitted by Dali Temple! His heart can be punished! According to the law cut!”
“This matter has now spread among the people, and the people are very angry. Many people spontaneously petitioned, pressed their handprints, and asked Your Majesty to severely punish the murderer!”
“This is a petition and a petition, has your Majesty checked it?”
Jing Zhaoyin handed the paper in his hand tremblingly, but the officials made an uproar, and Geng Wenshan’s fingers trembled even more. is the truth.
Xie Gu held his chin and waited for a long time, and finally waited for this Jing Zhaoyin. After listening to him, he said with interest: “Bring it up.”
At this time, a **** hurriedly appeared behind the hall – it was Fa Cai, he stepped to Xie Gu’s side and whispered in a low voice: “Your Majesty is wise, Concubine Nie has left the Jianjia Palace and is heading towards your bedroom. go.”
The emperor’s bedroom is not far from the Palace of Political Affairs. Young Master Yan walked towards the Palace of Political Affairs. In fact, it can be said that the achievement is in the direction of the Palace of Political Affairs.
