The fourteenth year of Zhiping is a year that is destined to be recorded in history.

The King of Qin was proud of his disciples, and the Minister of Finance, and Zeng Bu was sent to the Heavenly Prison for serious corruption and illegality.

As soon as this news came out, it was so shocking and extraordinary.

Although the previous rectification of the administration was round after round, as the confidant disciples of the King of Qin, several people, including Lu Huiqing, Zhang Dun, Su Che, Zeng Bu, etc., were always at ease and no one was worried about their defeat.

Now there is a person involved in a major case of greed and ink, and he was decisively taken down. The thunder exploded, which is both panic and shocking.

What was frightened was the firmness of the Qin King's attitude, and even his own people, there was no chance of luck.

As for the shock, they were the people from the Six Arts and the New Politics Society.

They looked at each other and found that corrupt officials were around them, perhaps their superiors. They talked loudly on the stage yesterday and were righteous and stern. In a blink of an eye, they became prisoners, disgraced and cursed.

In addition to lamenting the sharp gap, I also feel trembling with the power of money!!!

During this round of chaos, four husbands fell down.

They each have their own merits, but without exception, they are not easy to mess with.

First of all, Zhang Fangping, who was honest and honest, and had been an official all his life, seemed to have no flaws. As a result, he was unwilling to give in and wanted to be surrounded and praised because of his unwillingness to fame and fortune. As a result, he waved the flag and shouted for the financial forces, which involved overseas rebellions and ruined his life's reputation.

Zhang Fangping's situation has been found out. His second son and nephew received 3 million yuan in funding from two financial families. In addition to publishing books and publishing articles for Zhang Fangping, he also used 1 million yuan to purchase a luxury house, singer and enjoy it.

There are also 860,000 donations from various places, including funds from overseas colonies. Although Zhang Fangping claimed that he was not clear, Zhang Fangping spoke for overseas colonies several times in a secret message to the emperor, which was a proof of his ironclad evidence.

Even if you don't admit it, you can't change anything.

After sorting out all case files, the Ministry of Justice interrogated him.

This interrogation is open and the newspaper can send someone to interview.

Of course, given that too many newspapers are controlled by financial groups, the newspapers approved this time have been recognized by the New Politics Society, and they have recorded the case truthfully.

He was gray-haired, wrinkled on his face, and age spots were everywhere... Zhang Fangping was interrogated and told the situation, and debated and refuted it in class.

Three days later, the result was finally released. Zhang Fangping was greedy and willing to act as a thug for financial forces, disrupting the court situation, undermining the national affairs, indulging in rebellion, conspiring to abolish the emperor, and using sinister intentions, and not punishing the crime.

According to national law, the death penalty will be sentenced to immediate execution.

Three years ago, the Political Consultative Conference revised some laws one after another. The original death penalty included the destruction of nine clans, beheading, chariot cracks, beheading, etc. It was too cruel, so it was changed to two types: one was shot and the other was poisoning.

On the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhang Fangping put the crane red head under the dragon boat, which was really in the prison.

As for Wen Yanbo, the old fox who has been for many years has not escaped this time.

Although he was sent to Ryukyu, as the main initiator of the petition group, he openly destroyed the court, which was of great importance and must be severely punished.

Recovering the king's title, recovering all rewards, except for the Jinshi status, depriving the people of the people, imprisoning Ryukyu, he will never return to the Song Dynasty... In addition to saving his life, Lao Wen passed the Jinshi and entered the officialdom, all his honors and glory were taken away. Many people were frightened and chilled. Of course, this result was the best among the four ministers.

Sima Guang committed suicide by hanging his beam. Although he was gone, he had been an official for many years, with so many disciples and old officials. He has always protected financial forces, made huge profits for them and protected them.

Sima Kang used his father's banner to greed and embezzled urban local products. In Kaifeng alone, there was a land worth 50 million yuan, and the remaining assets combined exceeded 200 million yuan.

Sima Guang was not unaware of his son's corruption. On the contrary, he also adopted an attitude of indulgence and help. Without Sima Guang's protection, how could Sima Kang gather such a great wealth in a short time?

Sima Guang dereliction of duty and power, corrupted the court's laws, appointed private individuals, and privately received... Added up all kinds of crimes, the court decided to recover all his rewards and honors, as a typical example of corruption, and showed them to the world.

Not only him, but also the entire Sima family, his brother, nephew, relatives and friends, were all within the scope of the investigation and were severely punished.

The last one left is Zeng Bu.

Trusted in a prison, facing the empty and gloomy walls, Zeng Bu also felt uncomfortable.

His family is extraordinary. The Zeng family in Nanfeng was extremely prominent. In their generation, seven brothers showed their talents, including Xuan Ma, Zeng Bu, who was in charge of financial power, and Zeng Gong, who was outstanding in literary talent and famous all over the world.

In comparison, the Zeng family's momentum is not even worse than that of the Han family back then!

Wang Ning'an once swept through aristocratic families in Jiangnan, and the traditional gentry and wealthy families were exiled overseas.

The Zeng family saw the opportunity early, so they voluntarily abandoned the land in exchange for ransom and used their wealth for investment. Zeng Bu felt that forcing his family to hand over the land was inhumane and some owed some money.

Moreover, the Zeng family has many people. Without land, they lose their source of living and are unable to support so many descendants.

He instructed the Zeng family to invest money in finance.

With his talent and power, he gave the Zeng family convenience.

At first, Zeng Bu wanted to make some money at home so that his children could live a better life.

But he didn't expect that once this hole was opened, he wouldn't be able to control it.

The Zeng family seemed to have taken Dali Pills, all of which were financial geniuses. They made money quickly, but in no time, they made huge sums of tens of millions of dollars, which was 30 times more than their previous home business!

Fortunately, the Zeng family was in Jiangnan. If it were in the capital, Wang Ning'an would have smelled the smell long ago and would have warned this disciple so that he would not go on the evil path.

For example, the Lu family and the Zhang family are all wealthy families, and Wang Ning'an is also the key care of them. The children of the Lu family sent them to Annan, and the children of the Zhang family went to Japan. After they went overseas, they all rely on their own abilities and occasionally took care of them, which was not too good.

But Zeng Bu was different. He first discovered the situation at home and understood that someone deliberately gave the Zeng family information to help them get rich. He made such a big fortune, of course, to make more money.

There is no doubt that the final target must be him!

Zeng Bu tried to persuade his family to give up. Anyway, he had enough wealth, so why do you have to do so much?

This time he couldn't persuade him. What do you want to do? We farm well, we don't let us farm, do business and invest well, and we don't let us invest... Are you a member of the Zeng family or an enemy of the Zeng family?

Zeng Bu felt ashamed when his family questioned him like this.

Of course, he could also go to the teacher, find a fellow disciple, reveal the situation at home, and kill his relatives for justice, but he didn't have the courage.

In addition to worrying about the teacher's anger, the Zeng family is also greedy for too much. Once it is exposed, even the teacher cannot protect him!

That was Zeng Bu's most painful period. He couldn't bear to give up his family and his official position and future... He was constantly struggling between the two, and Zeng Bu finally decided that he wanted to take into account both!

How to take into account the two seemingly contradictory things?

Zeng Bu knew that his family's approach was too high-profile and would sooner or later give him a handle. Perhaps someone had reported it to the top. Zeng Bu clearly warned his family to restrain his edge and be honest.

But he secretly made his business bigger and bigger, and relying on his financial strength to help the family and other financial forces to obtain generous returns.

Thanks to Sima Guang, who was still in the court at that time, Zeng Bu was openly opposed to Sima Guang's strategy and secretly let the two of them sing and reconciling, which allowed the financial power to grow smoothly.

Strictly speaking, Zeng Bu's contributions are even greater than Sima Guang.

He thought he had planned Sima Jun, but he didn't expect that after Sima Junshi died, he had a fatal blow and knocked Zeng Bu off the horse... He would repay him one after another, and he would have to repay him sooner or later!

The more Zeng Bu thought about these things, the more he felt uncomfortable.

There are mixed feelings and I can't figure out a clue...

The prison door opened, and a person walked into the outside. Zeng Bu quickly looked up, but after seeing clearly, he became lost again.

The person who came is not tall, but has a strong aura and is smart and capable. It is Lu Huiqing.

He smiled faintly, "Are you disappointed to see me? Are you still looking forward to Master coming to see you?"

Zeng Bu was confused and laughed at himself, "I don't deserve to see my master. I have to blame this point to this point. I have nothing to say if there is any consequence!"

Lu Huiqing's face suddenly became gloomy and she sneered: "Fortunately you have nothing to say. If you still want to argue, then I will look down on you too much!"

As soon as these words came out, Zeng Bu became angry!

"Lu Jifu!" He looked like an evil ghost and roared hideously, "What are you pretending to be noble? Your Lu family is in Annan, and you have done so many unreasonable things. Don't think I don't know. I deserve to die, you deserve to die!"

Lu Huiqing said disdainfully: "Our family has done a lot of evil things overseas, but we always remember that we are from the Song Dynasty! If anyone in my family dares to harm the Song Dynasty and does not need the court to take action, I will severely punish you! Zeng Bu, can you do it?"

"I!"

Zeng Bu was speechless again.

After a long time, he shook his head, "I am indeed not as good as Brother Ji Fu... Please tell your master that he will be a teacher for life and be a father for the rest of his life. His teacher's kindness is as good as the sky, and he cannot repay it. Over the years, including me, Sima Junshi, and Wen Yanbo, we have promoted too many officials, from top to bottom, from layer to layer, but not many clean." Zeng Bu said, raised his head and said helplessly: "The lack of strict administration and greed for ink has always been a sign of prosperity and decline. We have to be careful. Just dealing with a few of us is only a treatment for the symptoms, but not the root cause. Only by scraping the bones and curing the poison, cutting off the arm of the hero, cleaning it from top to bottom, can we return the world to peace and continue the prosperity! The Master's decades of hard work will not be wasted."

These words were really from the heart, and Lu Huiqing nodded slightly.
Chapter completed!
