The backyard of the Ministry of Justice, in the Shangshu Classroom. .

Chen looked at Liu Fengzhong's confession, his expression changed again and again.

This person can be said to have done all the bad things about being an official and made money desperately. There has been no incident for so long!

According to his intuition, there must be someone to protect him, but after thinking about it, I can't find who it is.

He looked at it one by one until the last one, his eyes slightly condensed and his body suddenly sat upright.

Liu Fengzhong confessed that in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Li Banghua borrowed 40,000 taels of silver from him in his personal name, but has not returned it yet.

Chen suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, looked up at Liao Changyong and said, "What exactly did you say?"

Liao Changyong had been in the Ministry of Justice for many years and knew a lot about this kind of thing. He explained: "Sir, before Chongzhen, the national treasury was empty, and generals everywhere could only raise their own military expenses. At that time, Sun Ge Lao had reclaimed thousands of hectares of land in Liaodong to serve as a military posture. Governor Li did this. Local governments have some requests for these generals, so it is actually a donation, and they will not ask for it. Over time, they will be confused lawsuits."

Chen knew all these and asked seriously: "You mean, Governor Li's 40,000 taels were all used as military pay?"

This is natural. Liao Changyong was about to answer, but he was stunned again in an instant, frowned and did not speak.

He believes that this is the case, and with Li Banghua's character, it must be the same. The key to the problem is that he cannot protect and there is no evidence. If he is serious, he hits this point.

Liao Changyong thought about it carefully and said, "Sir, after reforms in Tianjin, Tianjin, have changed things and people have changed. There is no strong evidence to prove that if Wei Zhongxian grasped this point, neither the Ministry of Justice nor the Dali Temple would be able to make any mistakes. Moreover, Governor Li is a person valued by the emperor. This case... may have been deliberately thrown out by Wei Zhongxian."

He looked at Liu Fengzhong's confession without saying anything.

The situation in the capital was complicated and difficult to understand. Wei Zhongxian was eyeing him, and this move alone pushed the Ministry of Justice to the stove.

Seeing Chen, Liao Changyong did not speak, and stepped forward and whispered, "Sir, the Ministry of Criminals has no right to deal with this matter, and I still need to ask the cabinet for instructions."

Chen shook his head and stood up and said, "You can't pull the cabinet in and prepare the car! I saw Shangshu Zhou and sealed the book. Without my permission, no one can ask about the Liu Fengzhong case!"

"Yes!" Liao Changyong said.

Among the six ministers, only Zhou Yingqiu was calm and wise when encountering things.

Zhou Yingqiu was not sleeping at this moment and was meeting someone.

Vice President of the Royal Court, Wang Qiaonian.

After a brief remark, Wang Qiaonian sat on the edge of Zhou Yingqiu and said, "Sir, the first batch of students have been transferred from various places. Currently, 121 people have arrived in Beijing. There are 300 people who have graduated from the Zhengyuan this year. The subordinate officials are left half of them for the adults. The others plan to be sent to Shandong, Shanxi and West as county magistrates, chief clerks, etc., to exercise for a good job in order to make great use of them."

Zhou Yingqiu nodded and said, "Well, the Ministry of Personnel is already making review arrangements. After the Governor's Yuan is approved, it will be submitted to the cabinet for approval. At most half a month, these people will perform their duties. You must be prepared and appease them..."

Wang Qiao's qualifications are quite solid, and he is highly appreciated by Sun Chengzong. He believes that he is "knowing military and political affairs" and seems to regard him as his successor.

Wang Qiaonian looked a little uneasy, and looked at Zhou Yingqiu and said, "Sir, the capital has been around recently..."

Although there is only one "Liu Fengzhong case", sensitive people can detect that there is something strange in the capital, and a storm is slowly gathering and will soon sweep the capital.

Zhou Yingqiu smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, the two houses of the Royal House have a unique status, they do not involve the government affairs, and they do not involve party disputes. As long as they perform their duties, no matter how big the storm is, it will not affect you."

Wang Qiaonian didn't care about these things, but cared about the "new policy" of the court. At this time, the word "stability" is the first. Why did he storm be brewing and ignore it?

He thought this in his heart, without saying it. Zhou Yingqiu and Sun Chengzong were both discerning people and would not be unable to see these. The reason why he was "indifferent" must be something that he didn't understand.

Although Zhou Yingqiu smiled wide-mindedly, he sighed in his heart.

Before, he thought it was the emperor who was eager to "political reform" and could not wait to kill chickens and monkeys in Zhili to the north, awaken the world and promote "tax reform". However, recent events have made him increasingly realize that he was wrong, and it was a bit outrageous.

The upcoming storm in the capital was not driven by the emperor. It was even said that the emperor had no choice but to go with the flow.

Because this storm is a concentrated outbreak of the sequelae of reform since the emperor ascended the throne, and it cannot be stopped!

The royal family, nobles, Donglin, eunuchs, military households, etc., all adapted to it, took a breath, and they all jumped out in different forms, almost all preparing to counterattack at this time.

Even the emperor should take such a huge and complex force seriously, right?

'After all, the emperor sees the long term...' Zhou Yingqiu murmured to himself.

He saw clearly and understood more and more that the chaos in the capital would exceed everyone's expectations, even the emperor!

‘Well, release at one time and solve it at one time. The subsequent 'new policy' should be easier to promote...’

Zhou Yingqiu was silently wandering in his heart, then looked at Wang Qiaonian, and said with a cold look: "I should emphasize what should be said, be impartial and law-abiding, be honest, do not form cliques, and do not favoritism. These students of the Royal Court must remember that once the officials or others find out, this board will not fall on the two cabinet masters, do you understand?"

Wang Qiaonian immediately stood up, raised his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, sir, the Royal Court has checked the students out, and this time it has been investigated in detail. This will never happen!"

Zhou Yingqiu nodded. What he could do now was to try his best to ensure that no major chaos would occur in his jurisdiction. However, how much could he guaranteed that the national government had been corrupt?

"Master, Shangshu Shen is here." A servant walked to the front of the door and said.

Zhou Yingqiu's expression moved slightly, suppressing the new disclosure in a mess and said, "Well, please come in."

Wang Qiaonian knew that he was the Minister of Justice, so he had to come to the door so late, so he raised his hand and said, "The emperor gave up."

Zhou Yingqiu stood up and sent him out. According to convention, once the vice presidents of both houses were released, they would participate in politics. If the senator was senator, they would be officials in the border areas or enter the court in the future and should not be underestimated.

Shen and Wang Qiaonian nodded to each other, then entered the house with Zhou Yingqiu and explained the matter in detail.

Finally, he said with great vigilance, "Shangshu Zhou, Wei Zhongxian is a wolf-like ambition. As soon as the emperor left Beijing, he dared to go to Li Banghua. I am afraid he will still keep a backup plan. We must be on guard!"

Zhou Yingqiu looked at Liu Fengzhong's confession and looked calm. He also admired the entry point Wei Zhongxian found. He really covered the cabinet and the six departments, and could not move forward or retreat.

Li Banghua must not have any trouble, otherwise the ones involved will be Sun Chengzong, Yuan Keli, Xiong Tingbi, Mao Wenlong and others. These can be said to be half of the pillars of the court!

If others dare not do this, but Wei Zhongxian is bold and reckless, he just wants to do this!

The court officials privately borrowed '40,000 taels' of silver, even if it was really for military pay and to build the Tianjin and Tianjin Wei. It would be an uproar when it was spread, not to mention that if it was made public, the cabinet and the six ministries would fall into a passive passive state.

Seeing that Zhou Yingqiu was silent, Chen said in a tentative tone, "Shangshu Zhou, before Chongzhen, there were many drawbacks in the national affairs. Can the cabinet issue an order to 'remain from the past' and cut off Wei Zhongxian's idea!"

Zhou Yingqiu looked up at him, but said nothing.

Chen immediately knew that the proposal was not good, but he couldn't help saying: "Shangshu Zhou, Wei Zhongxian directly stabbed us with this move, making us unable to move. We must solve this matter as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Zhou Yingqiu looked calm and did not speak. He was still pondering the confession carefully, while also thinking about countermeasures in his heart.

Wei Zhongxian has become different from the past and has played conspiracies.

This trick is really extraordinary and really stumped them.

This case must not be investigated. If the matters during the Apocalypse period are revealed and involved, the entire court can be dragged into it.

If we don’t investigate, Wei Zhongxian would make excuses and implicate them, and he couldn’t hold them down.

Procrastination is even worse. The hot potato in your hands can't be at ease.

After Zhou Yingqiu finished reading it, his brows frowned even tighter, without any fabrication, and you can tell at a glance that they are all true.

It's really scary!

Zhou Yingqiu sat upright and murmured.

They still don’t know what Wei Zhongxian was going to do and what the emperor’s arrangement was. It’s obvious that the emperor just wanted the capital to be in chaos and wanted all the ghosts and monsters to jump out at once.

After a while, Zhou Yingqiu calmed down and looked at Chen and said, "The Ministry of Justice's Criminal Prison Office started to spread from Shuntian Prefecture. The first stop was in the Hejian Prefecture. Its first stop was in the Hejian Prefecture. Its everything about Liu Fengzhong was clearly investigated. It should not be blurred and published in the newspaper in a timely manner. Regarding Li Banghua, the Ministry of Justice went to Shaanxi and Xi, and asked Li Banghua to explain. If there was any problem, I would like to write. Li Banghua was a chief official of the border and an important official of the court. If there was enough evidence, he would not move easily..."

Chen listened to Zhou Yingqiu's words and thought carefully, his eyes lit up, "It's better that Secretary Zhou has a way. I will order people to go to He. tomorrow to form a criminal prison department and start an investigation."

Zhou Yingqiu didn't speak, and this matter would not be good after all, and his method of procrastination would not last long.

Chen left excitedly, Zhou Yingqiu pondered, attracted a servant and said, "You go to Shuntian Mansion and send me a few words."

"It's the master." said the lower man.

Wei Zhongxian looked at the dim moonlight and slowly said, "First: Shuntian Mansion must complete the requirements of the 'new policy' as soon as possible, and not ignore the other, and understand the center of government affairs."

"Second: You can leave the 'tax reform' matters, don't worry."

"Third: concentrate on government affairs, don't interfere with what you shouldn't think about, and don't interfere with what you shouldn't."

The servant waited for a while, and saw that Zhou Yingqiu stopped talking and said, "Yes, I'll go here."

Zhou Yingqiu had one more thing in his heart, but he finally swallowed it back.

The core of this storm is Shuntian Prefecture. No matter how it is, Shuntian Prefecture cannot collapse, and the government affairs in Northern Zhili cannot be chaotic.

"I hope all these I do are useful." Zhou Yingqiu's tone was indifferent, but his eyes were flashing with a bright light.
