Chapter 114 The Great Cleaning
Cai Jing and Zhao Xu finished the call, and after answering, they picked up the papers, left the Chuigong Hall, and went to the tiled house not far away to find Zhang Dun.
Zhao Xu looked at his back, and his chest seemed to explode, but he was still angry!
His eyes were flashing with murderous intent, and he wanted to kill these people immediately. He punched them on the table with a fierce punch and said in a deep voice: "Can all such officials not destroy the country?!"
Chenpi's heart was beating wildly when she heard this, and she quickly lowered her head.
The country is destroyed, this is not something that can be said casually!
At this time, Cai Jing arrived in front of the green tiled house, looked at it, paused for a moment, and then went in.
He greeted Zhang Dun with a expressionless face and handed over the list of confessions and Zhao Xugou.
Zhang Dun sat on the chair, with a stern expression and a cold look at Cai Jing and said, "Why are there no one on my list?"
Cai Jing did not bow and did not respect him. He spoke very calmly and said, "There is no evidence."
Zhang Dun stared at him, his eyes deeper and he said lightly: "All strategies, group training, observation envoys are done by the Privy Council, and the Ministry of Justice shall not interfere in arbitrarily."
Cai Jing raised his hand and said, "Yes. The official is leaving."
After saying that, he did not go to see his younger brother Cai Bian not far away and left here directly - he had a lot of things to do.
Cai Bian saw Cai Jing leave, frowned and continued to do things - the most important thing he and Zhang Dun are to sort out the court and fill the personnel gap left by the cases of Lu Dafang, Su Che and others.
Zhang Dun glanced at Cai Bian with a cold expression.
He hated Cai Jing, and he didn't even like Cai Bian, even if this person was Wang Anshi's son-in-law!
Zhang Dun also served as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council and had replaced Su Song in charge of the Privy Council. He pondered over and over again and stood up and went to the Privy Council.
If you want to clean up these people with military power, you have to use some means, and you cannot be as open and close as the civil servants in the capital.
Cai Bian turned a blind eye to it.
Cai Jing left the palace and did not return to the Ministry of Justice immediately, but found his son Cai You.
Cai Jing didn't know what Cai You did. As usual, he showed his father's majesty and said, "Your Majesty is already approved. You can catch this list, and I will do the rest."
Cai You took the list and looked at it. He found that some of his father's old enemies were secretly enemies. He looked at Cai Jing quietly. Cai You said calmly: "Okay, I'll go back and prepare for manpower. If the inspection department seals the city gate, no one can escape!"
Cai Jing seemed to have looked at Cai You with some surprise. When he came back this time, he felt that this son seemed a little different. Sometimes he had a special idea and occasionally he could dodge.
Cai Jing just thought he had grown up, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, it must end before tomorrow morning, and the battle will be decided quickly!"
Cai You responded with a stern expression and said, "You'll go now."
Cai Jing nodded, thought for a while, and went to the Ministry of Justice.
He never thought that he thought that Changjin's son did not return to the Imperial City Division immediately, but went to the palace.
The Ministry of Justice and the Imperial City Department came out in full bloom less than half an hour later. The yamen runners of the Ministry of Justice, the imperial guards of the Imperial City Department and the Kaifeng Prefecture Inspection Department had a total of six or seven hundred people, arresting people, sealing the courtyard, raiding houses, and recovering stolen goods in Kaifeng City.
Xiezhong Doctor's Office.
Shang Tong was dragged by the yamen runners of the Ministry of Justice with a pale face, and he looked around and explained: "Listen to my explanation, listen to my explanation, I did not participate in those embezzlements, my money comes from my salary..."
The yamen runner of the Ministry of Justice dragged him out, but didn't listen to his explanation at all.
Behind him, a large group of people, women, children, and children followed in panic and cried.
Imperial College.
Jijiu's face was ashen, and she tried her best to resist the imperial guards of the Imperial City Division and said angrily: "I am the Imperial College Prison Priest who was conferred by the Empress Dowager. Why do you take me? You are in trouble!"
The teachers and students of the Imperial College were frightened and rushed forward to stop them, but were forcibly pushed away by the imperial guards.
Honglu Temple.
The huge Honglu Temple was surrounded by Nan Tianyou and his men, and then it was arrested and searched in an all-round way.
The ministers of the Honglu Temple, Shaoqing and others were almost all detained, and officials at all levels of the Honglu Temple were detained in the courtyard, the treasury and rooms were all sealed and cleaned up!
Military weapons supervision, the yamen runners of the Ministry of Justice are like wolves and tigers, arresting people and searching the account books, and completing them in one go.
The prison of the Imperial City Department and the prison of the Ministry of Justice quickly filled up, and they had to borrow internal prisons of Kaifeng Prefecture, Dali Temple, and even other yamen.
With such a big move by the Imperial City Department and the Ministry of Justice, Kaifeng City was like an earthquake, shaking countless people.
It was almost dark on the streets of Kaifeng City, and it was crowded. Countless people asked for advice, inquire about news, and cleared their relationships, just like headless flies, ramming around everywhere.
Fan Bailu and Fan Chunren couldn't sit still. They wanted to go to the palace to see Empress Dowager Gao at the first time, but the guards of the imperial gate did not even give him a message. Then they wanted to see Zhao Xu, but they were scolded by the guards.
The two of them had no choice but to go to Su Song.
Su Song was sitting in the pavilion at this moment in the mansion, listening to the crying outside, stiff as a sculpture, and indifferent.
After a while, the housekeeper came over and whispered: "Master, the two Mr. Fan are here, at the back door."
Su Song seemed to react, picked up the tea that had been cold for a long time and took a sip of it, and said, "Just say I'm asleep."
The housekeeper looked up and looked outside, listening to the increasingly noisy voice, and said, "The two Grandpa Fan said, "The Lord will not leave if they don't see them."
Su Song took a sip of tea, stood up slowly, and said, "If you don't leave, don't leave, I'll go to bed."
The housekeeper looked puzzled. Although his head of the family was unwilling to wade into the muddy waters in the past, he would never stand by and watch like this when encountering such a major event.
Su Song didn't say anything, he really went to bed.
Fan Chunren and Fan Bailu were at the back door of the Su Mansion. Listening to the butler's reply, the two frowned and pondered for a while, and suddenly looked at each other again. Both of them read something from each other's eyes.
The two of them were quiet for a while and left at the same time.
After leaving for a while, the two looked up, looked at the half-hidden moon, and sighed at the same time.
Fan Bailu held his hands behind his back and said with a sad expression: "Once the emperor and the ministers, after tonight, the government will really take charge of the rule."
Fan Chunren stared at Yuesai and said, "Su Song can see farther than us, can see clearly. With such a big move... it seems that the government will not let Lu Dafang go."
Fan Bailu didn't know what it felt like, and he felt more or less sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox, and said, "From this point, the official's resentment towards Lu Dafang is already to the core. Tonight, no one can rest."
Fan Chunren seemed to have woken up, looked at him and said, "An Pillow? Look, I feel that countless heads will fall to the ground."
Fan Bailu was silent.
If it were the past, he still didn't believe that even if the official was resentful, he would have room for measure and room. But judging from today's actions, the official's hatred was definitely not small!
Fan Bailu was silent, and Fan Chunren didn't know what to continue to say.
They are all ministers, especially those of the "former dynasty" - the road is narrow.
Inside the Cining Hall.
Empress Dowager Gao listened to the constant reports and sat on the chair, stunned.
Zhou He bowed and stood in front of her, his neck was cold and his shoulders were trembling slightly.
From the news he received, the Ministry of Justice and the Imperial City Department arrested more than 40 officials above the fifth rank, and the previous Lu Dafang and others had reached more than 60!
None of the three provinces, six ministries and seven temples, the Censorate, the Privy Council, the Three Divisions and the Yamen have escaped!
This is known for the time being!
