The leading yamen runner looked at the Western barbarian and snorted coldly, saying, "You are suspected of bribery, and the evidence is conclusive. You can tell your family members and prepare to hire a lawyer."

This bearded man was immediately discouraged. He has been in the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years, so he didn't know the Ming Dynasty's officialdom. If you don't arrest you, you'll be fine. If you arrest you, you'll be fine!

In the cathedral, a cardinal was taken out, and a group of believers looked cold and had no intention of pleading.

"You are suspected of rape, raising a girl under the age of sixteen, accepting bribes, and corruption..."

The Cardinal did not resist at all and just followed the yamen runners honestly.

In a silk shop, a middle-aged man was dragged out by a yamen runner. The proprietress cried and said, "Officials, our master has not committed any trouble. Please give us a lot of money..."

The middle-aged man was pulled on the road, and the leading yamen runner stuffed a piece of paper and said, "Your business is a joint stock. Now other shareholders report that you are suspected of embezzling the legal property of the business, and both people and physical evidence are there. This is an arrest warrant. The prison is at No. 15 Zhengpu Road. You can visit it in two days."

After saying that, the officer arrested people directly, stuffed them into the carriage, and left.

Royal Trading Group, Accounting Room.

This is a three-large room with more than 60 people, people coming and going, busy.

A team of yamen runners from the inspection bureau brought out a section chief. The section chief was completely limp on the ground and was dragged out by the yamen runners.

"You saw it. This is Section Chief He. It is said that he is my family with Director He. I didn't expect that he would be arrested."

"I heard that he embezzled tens of thousands of taels and smeared the accounts for others, and was found out..."

"This is a big storm, I don't know how many people are going to be unlucky."

"The new official takes office for three fires, one goes to the emperor and one goes to the minister, and Lord Li takes office. These are normal..."

"I guess, I still don't understand the position and don't see the direction of the wind clearly. I deserve to be unlucky..."

There was a lot of discussion in the accounting room, and the same was true for the entire Shenlong Mansion. The "anti-corruption campaign" launched by Li Youtang caused a violent shock in the Shenlong Mansion. In just five days, the prison cell was crowded, and more than a thousand people were arrested, involving at home and abroad, regardless of nationality.

The Shenlong Mansion is now involved in a wide range, and their actions have been quickly fed back to all parts of the country. The Anti-Corruption Bureau, the Criminal Prison Department and others have received as many as 100 requests for cooperation, involving countless people, all over the country.

At this time, the cabinet minister Zhou Yingqiu was already in Yingtian Prefecture, surrounded by many officials such as the Criminal Prison Department, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Anti-Corruption Bureau. He was reviewing the files collected. A massive anti-Corruption campaign was about to begin.

There were troubles inside and outside the Ming Dynasty, but the palace was peaceful.

Near June, Empress Zhang Yun and Concubine Xingzi had done the same confinement period, so Zhu Xu stayed with a group of women and children in the palace and quietly left the palace and went straight to Chengde Summer Resort.

Logically speaking, June left too early, and the time seemed to be a little sensitive, but Zhu Xu left.

It was said to be silent, but countless people were staring at every move in the palace, not to mention that such a large formation, no one who is interested did not notice it.

The day before Zhu Xu left Beijing, the cabinet had already formulated a detailed plan, especially the Anti-Corruption Bureau's "Sword Operation", and other departments seemed to be cooperating.

Sun Chuanting also specifically addressed Wang Zhou of the Law Enforcement Bureau and explained some things to him.

Before the summer harvest, when the stockpiled fertilizers, oxen, ploughing tools, pesticides and other stocks were almost cleared, the General Administration of Anti-Corruption and Integrity finally began to take action.

Zhang Yu, director of the Law Enforcement Department, rushed into the cabinet building with a group of people, and a team of people entered the Tongzheng Envoy Department.

"Wang Qingli, Deputy Director of the Tongzheng Envoy Department, you are suspected of embezzlement and bribery, come with us."

Another team entered the Administration Department, posted a piece of paper and said, "Administrative Secretary Liu Xiaoyong, you are suspected of corruption, come with us."

Not long after, a team of people even entered the second floor council office.

"Parliamentary Council Members, Zhou Xiang, Qian Xingzhong, Guo Hanshou, you can come with us!"

The Anti-Corruption Bureau rushed into the cabinet to arrest people, which scared countless people's chins.

Where is the cabinet, the most advanced place in the Ming Dynasty administration, and the place where the chief minister is in charge!

Sun Chuanting is now becoming more and more authoritative, and few people dare to provoke him. The Anti-Corruption Bureau actually arrested people directly in the cabinet, which was simply a big blow!

But no one in the cabinet stopped them, and the big figures that they often see are gone.

The Anti-Corruption Bureau arrested more than 20 people in one go in the cabinet building, causing huge waves throughout the capital.

"You guys say, is it because Shougong Sun lost his holy heart and is about to fall?"

"You said this, it's true. Shoufu Sun has been angry and resentful in recent years. I wonder how many people want to eat his meat and chop his bones. The emperor must be tired of it."

"Maybe the prime minister was reluctant to leave. The emperor is a warning..."

"Yes, now you can still keep your face and get out of here. If you don't leave, the emperor may have to use other means."

Rumors were everywhere in the capital, and some officials even wrote directly to write a letter, publicly calling on Sun Chuanting to retire and be responsible for the chaos in front of him.

However, the Anti-Corruption Bureau's actions did not stop. The next day, the Anti-Corruption Bureau entered many departments directly under the cabinet on a large scale and began to investigate. These departments were all outside the Daming Gate and could be seen by the people.

What they saw was that people were taken out almost all the time in these yamen, stuffed into carriages, and sent to the prison in the south of the city.

On the third day, the five teams of the Anti-Corruption Bureau entered the fifth unit and took away more than 60 people in one breath, shocking everyone!

The Anti-Corruption Bureau is going to God!

In just three days, the Anti-Corruption Bureau arrested as many as twelve third-rank officials. These people were all court ministers who almost entered the level of the Minister of the Secretariat. I wonder how many people are optimistic about their future entry into the cabinet and minister. Now, they are all in prison!

On the fourth day, the Criminal Office began to move.

After the Ministry of Justice was demoted, the Criminal Prison Department was assigned to the cabinet's direct jurisdiction.

The first thing the team of the Criminal Prison Department did was to go to the residence of Sun Chuanting, the chief minister of the cabinet!

"The housekeeper Liu Fu, his wife and uncle Han Song, and the accountant Chen Fudi... You seven, come with us."

The people in the Criminal Prison Department read the list, with expressionless expression on their faces, word by word.

The seven people left the line silently, followed the group of officers from the Criminal Division out of the Sun Mansion, got on the carriage, and left quickly.

From beginning to end, no one in the Sun Mansion spoke.

On the other side, the Law Enforcement Bureau also entered the homes of other cabinet ministers, and everyone was taken away, including relatives and friends, servants and others.

In another day, there were many people in the homes of the Five Ministers and other officials, and there were also many people being taken by some servants.

The capital, which was originally noisy, suddenly became quiet!

This is really an anti-corruption campaign, and there is no evasion. Even the family of the chief minister, the cabinet minister, and the minister were investigated!

In just ten days, almost no officials in the capital had escaped. The Anti-Corruption Bureau, Criminal Prison Department, Law Enforcement Bureau, Ministry of Personnel, and the General Administration of the People's Republic of China quickly exceeded 2,000!
Chapter completed!
