Section 105 Reimbursement Case of Two Provinces (2)

Thinking "Yes!" King Gong hesitated for a moment and decided to avoid suspicion for the entire Military Affairs Office. "I would like to ask, can I send another prince and minister to order Hong Liangpin to ask for it clearly."

"Okay. Send Lao Wu." The emperor said again: "Pan Zuyin is fair and let him ask together."[]

So he immediately drafted the imperial edict and said that the matter was the court system and the important officials were in charge of the reputation of the officials. He did not dare to use unfounded words and led the conduct to the memorial. He sent the prince, and Weng Tong ordered the censor to inquire in detail, and to make sure that he had the evidence, and then he would return the matter.

This is shocking news. It is not that there is no matter how impeached the ministers of the Ministry, but it is nothing more than dereliction of duty and favoritism. It is a love accusation of "taking bribes with a huge amount of money and requesting "stop reprimands" and reprimands, which is unprecedented in a century, so some people have a premonition that a political tide will occur.

Of course, Pan Zuyin didn't want this. Wang Wenshao was an important town in the southern sect of the capital, and later became a disciple of Zeng Guofan. If he collapsed, Yu Junji would not look very good on the face of Minister Yu Junji.

Since this is the case, it is better to be quiet than to move. It is the best way to protect Wang Wenshao and sell him a big favor.

After making up this idea, he first asked someone to copy Hong Liangpin's "broken bottom" and waited for the king to launch it. The king did not come to meet him the next morning and agreed to send Hong Liangpin's question at the zongren's house at noon the next day. It was supposed to be handled immediately, Pan Zuyin intended to use his study homework as a stake to delay the time so that Wang Wenshao and Jing Lian had the sun to make a plan to recover the firewood from the bottom of the pot.

In fact, it took a lot of time to write a document. Because it was a sentencing by the order, it was equivalent to the emperor's personal questioning, so the guard office was responsible for office work, notified the Censorate, and informed Hong Liangpin to respond to the news.

Hong Liangpin had already prepared and wrote a "speaking post" and then he went to the clan mansion to report. Wang and Pan Zuyin were very polite, so he bowed first and asked to sit down.

"I think I've seen Mingfa?" Wang spoke first.

"Yes." Hong Liangpin reached into his arms and took out the post and handed it over.

The king took it over and saw that the post read: "Hong Liangpin, the Censor of Jiangxi Road, was honestly presented." He opened the inner page, hurriedly read it, and handed it to Pan Zuyin on the side.

Pan Zuyin looked carefully from the beginning and found that there was no difference between the bottom and the bottom. He felt that it was empty accusations and there was no definite evidence. He was a little happy, but said, "It's not that bad."

"The censor heard the news and rumors, but since he had heard of it, he dared not not report it." Hong Liangpin replied sternly.

"The minister accepts bribes and will not deal with the bribes in person." Pan Zuyin asked, "Whoever pays for it and where to pay it? You always know?"

"I don't know." Hong Liangpin shook his head with a look that he didn't ask about this question. "How can you not be afraid that the censor will know about such a thing? Of course, private authorization and acceptance cannot be seen by outsiders."

"Since outsiders cannot see it, how can we distinguish the true or false?"

"This is the case. Maybe it was revealed by the person in the game himself."

"The so-called material argument is what people say, you might as well refer to a few people as evidence."

Hong Liangpin shook his head again: "There are thousands of voices in unison, and there is no way to tell me."

"I want to ask for advice," Wang asked, "What other evidence is there?"

"No."

"Just listen to what people say?"

"Yes." Hong Liangpin replied: "I'm talking about it in the post, please observe it."

It would be useless to ask again, so I saw the guests out. The king and Pan Zuyin discussed the re-report at the Zongren Mansion, and naturally, according to fact, they delivered the comments sent by Hong Liangpinyuan at the same time.

The next day, Qingliu gathered in Songjun Temple, preparing to support Chen Qitai and Hong Liangpin. Hong Liangpin's posts were praised. There were too many people who wanted to take a look at it first, so Sheng Yu, the rising star in Qingliu, volunteered to recite loudly: "The story of bribery is mysterious. Liangpin is not in the matter, so there is no way to get the foundation. However, the Ministry of Revenue has been asking for bribes in this case. Now, the Ministry of Justice has obtained Gan Shengheng and Tianshunxiang's account book. Former Censor Chen Qitai reported: Cui Zunyi and Pan Yingzhang communicated with Zhou Ruiqing, and Zhou Ruiqing's bribes and entrusted Guan. The outside world is rumored that those who bribes are entrusted with Jinglian and Wang Wenshao. Guan said that they were entrusted with Jinglian and Wang Wenshaoguan. The street talks were discussed and talked with each other, and thousands of people were the same. This is the evidence of bribery, and we should ask Cui Zunyi and Pan Yingzhang; the evidence of Guan Shu, and we should ask Zhou Ruiqing. However, Jing Lian and Wang Wenshao's bribery were not without evidence, Cui Zunyi and Pan Yingzhang were the evidence; good products were not without evidence, and everyone said it was the evidence. To use the minister to make great contributions to matters, this is called to bear grace; to hear people's words but not report them, this is called to be drowning, and the censor's example is to hear the wind and hear things, so that the heavens will not speak, and people will not speak, so how can we use this corpse and the censor? Good products and Jing Lian and Wang Wenshao have no contact, nor will they resent, and they will not complain, so that they dare to slander for no reason? In fact, the current affairs are difficult, the celestial phenomena are changing in this way, and people's words are so conclusive, so we cannot fail to report them."

After reading this, someone ran in, raised a piece of paper in his hand, and said loudly: "The emperor has come down!"

This person is a doctor from the Imperial College, with his surname as Liu, and he also has a "clear flowing leg". He opened his door and went straight to the front of #Zang Chengxiu, and handed over the residence to him.

"'This case must be taken, Cui Zunyi and Pan Yingzhang must be arrested, and they must be discussed in person with Zhou Ruiqing, the officers of the Ministry of Revenue, clerks, and others. It is not difficult to see the truth immediately," Deng Chengxiu read this, and closed his eyes with his hands and his eyes closed: "Happy!"

"This is not a pleasure, and I cannot help but regret." Zhang Peilun said loudly, "How can Jing and Wang compare with each other?"

"What is the public opinion?" Sheng Yu asked.

"Jing Qiuping's feelings are understandable, and Wang Kuishi must not be tolerated again."

These two sentences came from the mouth of Qingliu, especially Zhang Peilun. Even if they were judged, they would be destined to have their official career. Deng Xiu suddenly aroused and said apologetically: "I'm going to take action again."

So in Songjun Temple, there were exclusively decorated pens and inkstones for Qingliu Cao to fight against Yuwu. Deng Chengxiuwen drafted a bottom without adding any points and invited Zhang Peilun and Sheng Yu to discuss.

The first paragraph of the memorial is to suspect that the Ministry of Justice may not be able to comply with the imperial edict and thoroughly investigate it, because such ambiguous personal act is not a person who has done it, and it is impossible to have a certain evidence. Even if there is a certain evidence, it is not a severe torture and confession, and he refuses to express his truth. Moreover, Wang Wenshao, who was involved, is still the official of the Ministry of Revenue. Even if the official of the Ministry of Justice is in charge of his official duties and has no protection, the officer may not dare to offend Wang Wenshao for future misfortunes and to eliminate it. Besides, although Cui Zunyi and Pan Yingzhang were urged to be transferred to the case under strict orders, it took time to go. What's wrong with it?

"You can find the pearl when you start!" Zhang Peilun expressed his satisfaction. The key was that the king Wenshao, who was involved, had not yet resolved his authority. In other words, if you want to investigate, you must first ask Wang Wenshao to hand over the responsibilities and eliminate the concerns of the officials of the Ministry of Justice.

"Look at the second paragraph!" #Zang Chengxiu smiled reservedly, and it was obvious that the second paragraph was his proud stroke.

Not seeing a few lines, Zhang Peilun blurted out "Good", and then shook his head and tail and said, "I secretly say that the ministers who advance and retreat are different from the clerks. The clerks must be able to govern the sacrificial evidence. Ministers should determine their evaluation based on their regular conduct, and the court should strictly punish and demote them based on their virtuousness."

"This is a foundation." #Zang Chengxiu smiled, "Do you remember what Zeng Hou said about his heart's sin?"

Zhang Peilun and Sheng Yu both remembered this. As the end of the year approached the end of the year, Zeng Guofan took retreat as an advance, and there were threats in his words. Later, the emperor issued an order to let Zeng Jihong go to the General Administration to serve in the office. Zeng Guofan felt the virtue of his sage and was even more ashamed of his own selfishness. He went to the palace overnight to apologize and made a mess. The sentence "The minister should use his simple conduct to determine his praise, which roughly applied Zeng Guofan's original intention.

"With that being said, the meaning is deeper." Zhang Peilun said, "We should take this as the standard for fighting."

"This is why Jing Qiuping can forgive me. Let's look down!"

When it comes to Jing Lian#Zhengxiu, he said that he is "calm and not to be changed at night." However, the case was reviewed for more than 10,000 yuan in two years. The clerk of the department was full of greed. Jing Lian's chief accountant failed to provide in advance. Even if he did not accept bribes, he would inevitably follow suit. Or he said that he was accepting bribes, which is not known.

"This is too much excuse." Zhang Peilun's words are also considered a heart-breaking argument. They refer to the major case of murdering the censor Cui Jingnan in Laiwu and Pingyin counties under the Tai'an Prefecture when Jing Lian was appointed as the governor of Shandong. Because Jing Lian was confused and sent him to the Urumqi army after the case was revealed in the whole world. Such a matter is not a very serious fault for the bannermen. After a few years, someone said good things about him in front of the emperor and released him back to Beijing.

"That's it!" Sheng Yu begged for Jing Lian, "Don't hurt the filial son."

This refers to Jing Lian's son Zhilin. He was a Hanlin in the 13th year of Xianfeng and was quite famous for his filial piety and friendship. Although Zhang Peilun had no contact with him, he respected him very much. So after hearing Sheng Yu's words, he stopped talking.

Looking further down, #Zang Chengxiu's pen swept across, and he simply peeled off Wang Wenshao's skin, saying that he had been released from the military machine and went to Anhui to be a Taoist, "I personally opened a money shop and paid for personal gain."

"This is something to be proved." Zhang Peilun asked, "Is it true?"

"Of course, there is. The Wang family's money house is open in Anqing. When you ask the Beijing officials in Anhui, who doesn't know?"

"That's it." Zhang Peilun then read: "When he joined the department, he was very capable and did not care about others' words; the greedy voices were heard. The commentator said: The former Grand Secretary Wu Ren performed cleanliness, but only quoted Wang Wenshao to betray the court, which was a burden to know the people. Everyone said that this is the world's words, which is not something that the minister can only decorate. Now, talents are mixed, officials are corrupt, discipline is damaged, bribery is destroyed, and the heavens are changed to the superiors, and people are resentful to the inferiors. The art of recovery is only in the order of voluntary action and chaos cannot be released. If Wang Wenshao is talented, it is not enough to help the traitor, and greed can ruin the country."

"What a 'that is not enough to help traitors, greed can ruin the country!" Sheng Yu inserted it into the comments, "This is a decisive comment on Wang and a criticism of the administration. However, we cannot blame Wang alone. How can those who lead the lord court give up the blame?"

"Yes." #Za Chengxiu agreed deeply, "This meaning can be described very well." As he said that, he was about to add a pen to the changes.

"No need!" Zhang Peilun dissuaded, "Mr. Zeng has been bleeding in the stool recently and is not in a minor state of illness. Don't do it for an exaggeration."

#Zang Chengxiu accepted the advice and also accepted Zhang Peilun's opinion, and added a paragraph to the previous paragraph: "I would like to summon one or two trusted ministers to ask what Wang Wenshao would do? Let him inspire his conscience, and in fact, he would like to dismiss Wang Wenshao first, so that his friends would lose their amulets, and the people in the world knew that the court had the intention to eliminate evil and corruption, so that the case would be revealed. If the minister's words were not false, he would be willing to conquer the emperor's crime."

After careful consideration, Sheng Yu copied the matter. Everything was finished, and it was already dusk. The "Qingliu Legs and "Qingliu Boots" outside had not yet dispersed. When they saw the three of them, they immediately followed them and asked indirectly. The three of them smiled reservedly, which seemed mysterious and serious. Finally, Zhang Peilun said: "Tiexiang has a seal. Let's see the residence tomorrow!"

Deng Chengxiu's name is Tiexiang, and he is known as "Iron Man". Anyone who fights is unkind. This memorial can be guessed, and it must be issued for Wang Wenshao, and it can be expected that the spirit of the poem will not be as gentle as that of Hong Liangpin. In addition, on that night, the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice will jointly arrest the yamen of the Infantry Army, and the clerks of the Ministry of Revenue will be able to handle the major cases and the situation is serious. Therefore, at noon the next day, people who were concerned about Shiqi were guarding the cabinet and waiting to see the residence copy.

At the beginning of the afternoon, the imperial edict was sent, saying: "On this day, he summoned the Minister of Military Affairs, and according to Wang Wenshao's request for reprimand, he was implored to repeat it. Wang Wenshao was appointed as a vassal minister and was promoted to the Minister of Revenue, and ordered him to be appointed as the Minister of Revenue in his post. For several years, he had no misunderstandings in his work. The court simply served as a minister, and was called the official of the official; the minister was called the cited by the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, which was a conjecture. Nowadays, the current affairs are so difficult, and Wang Wenshao has received a lot of kindness, but he should encourage him to seek justice and try to repay the case. He still insisted on going straight as usual and not to be dismissed."

Although Wang Wenshao was kept, the case was not sloppy. The edict said: "In Yunnan, the reimbursement case was issued. The edict ordered Zheng Dunjin to strictly handle the matter. The truth must be investigated! Jing Lian, Wang Wenshao was ruthless and could not be concealed. After Cui Zunyi and Pan Yingzhang were arrested, he would send a prince to investigate and deal with it together."

When we looked at each other, the emperor was quite suspicious about his intentions. One said that Wang Wenshao was a major political tide in the eighth year of Xianfeng. The emperor always felt a little pity for Qian Lin, who died prematurely, so he intended to protect this case. Another said that the emperor was willing to take advantage of this matter and make drastic rectification. He did not allow Jing Lian to be allowed to withdraw, and Wang Wenshao was going to wait for the case to be revealed and put them in law as the beginning of a thorough rectification of the administration.

But no matter what, sending the Prince and Pan Zuyin to investigate and deal with each other means that the case will only be big and not small, especially if there are princes, it also means that the person suspected in the case is not only Cui Zunyi and Zhou Ruiqing, the third-rank official. In the case involving first-rank senior officials, the Prince will be sent to investigate and deal with it.

However, from noon to evening, whether it is the merchant or the Ministry of Revenue’s Librarian, they are stammering and refuse to reveal the truth. The general office of the Qiu Judgment Office is very anxious to be the chief executive of the case.

"The hall has been urging!" He said to his colleagues, "The emperor's edict must determine the truth. This sentence must be explained. I think it has to be punished."

When the officials of the Ministry of Justice asked about the case, the focus was on proposing the case, and it was rare to use punishment. However, the case was special and everyone felt that a firm solution was not impossible. There was only another general manager, Shen Jiaben, who had a relatively gentle attitude.

"Those shopkeepers of the ticket account, the clerk of the Ministry of Revenue, have they suffered from luxury in their daily lives? Just scare them." Shen Jiaben said, "It is best not to move if you can stop being punished."

"You try it!" Gangyi disagreed. "I thought so too, but the people are stubborn and stubborn. I really don't want to die if I don't want to die tomorrow. There must be a result. This case is looked at by thousands of eyes, and the Ministry of Justice cannot lose face."

So the situation of the case the next day was different. The prison guards were sent to the prison hall to serve him. Gangyi first warned him. If someone didn't tell the truth, he would suffer his own flesh and blood. Then he asked the merchant Wang Jingchen. "Wang Jingchen, how can you not know the rules of your fellow businessmen? Anyone who donated officials to pay or asked for imperial edicts should be accepted, and the bills should be handled by the bills. You have dealings with the six clerks. Where does the money transferred from officials from other provinces use? Is there any reason to know? How did you spend the money transferred from Guangxi and Yunnan?"

"I really don't know if it's the master."

"I still say I don't know!" Gangyi was furious and slapped the table hard and said, "I will teach you how to know! Palm! Fifty."

"Zhe!" The officers of Shitang agreed in unison. One of them put on his right glove and stepped forward, aimed at Wang Jingchen's face and blew it, and opened his bow left and right. The technique was extremely skillful. Wang Jingchen screamed "Wow" and knocked down two teeth after less than ten strokes, and his mouth was covered in blood.

"I'll help, I'll help!"

As long as the prisoner says "recruitment", the executioner must stop, otherwise there will be punishment, but of course there will be differences. Wang Jingchen is stingy, and he refuses to spend a small amount of money when he gets into a lawsuit. The servant hates him, so the word "recruitment" has already been expressed, and he slapped him hard and knocked off his front teeth.

This time, Wang Jingchen became more honest. He said that Pan Yingzhang had talked that the money transferred from Yunnan was for reimbursement. After Cui Zunyi arrived in Beijing, he once sent two letters to Zhou Ruiqing by his shop's friend.

"What is it said in the letter?"

"Reply to the master, the letter was banned."

Gangyi himself discovered this and asked more than anything, so he shouted, "What else do you have? Let's say it together, saving trouble.

"I dare not hide it, these are the words."

It seems that that's it. Gangyi ordered Wang Jingchen to take over and ask the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works' clerk. These people are not as honest as Wang Jingchen and cannot be punished. Gangyi realizes that the officials of the Ministry of Justice must be particularly proud and are inconvenient to use the major torture, so he has to change his method and ask Shen Jiaben to use water milling skills to ask.

He blew indirectly and slowly pushed in layer by layer. Finally, he put a few words out of Chu Shiheng, the reimbursement case in Guangxi and Yunnan was drafted by a paper by Lu and Lu in the two provincial departments. After the office was reviewed by Chen and Shen, he sent the superiors to the official and transferred the manuscript to the official's painting.

Although he didn't get much, he grasped the clues. He went to the hall in front of the officials and decided to adopt a steady but not relaxed purpose. He immediately wrote the Ministry of Revenue and "secretly investigated and responded quickly."

The republic arrived soon, saying that none of the four books could be passed on and that they had already submitted a request to be arrested. The sacrificial document will not be continued.
Chapter completed!
