Daming reckless man

Chapter 536 Shocking
Zhang Hao ordered Liu Yunhai to start interrogating those prisoners. Now that they have arrived here, the officials also know that there is no possibility of going out. They just want to see if they can save their family members, so they can’t let them be in bad luck, right?

Therefore, the prisoners who came in now are all very honest. In the afternoon, the interrogation began. The first one who finished the interrogation was a clerk from the household department. There was 10 taels of corruption in the account, and 70 was confiscated. Two, there are still more than 1 mu of land, and the home is still ransacking the house. I don’t know how much it is?
Therefore, at several city gates in the imperial city, they began to post the corruption of this official. When the common people saw it, they hated it. They scolded and scolded those officials. Not at all, the current office worker has so much money in his family, so why don't the people scold him?
In the evening, Zhang Hao returned to the mansion. As soon as he entered the door, the porter said: "Master, Mr. Xu Ge is here, and he is sitting in the living room! Madam is with you over there!"

"Oh, good!" Zhang Hao nodded, and walked towards the living room. When he arrived at the living room, he saw Xu Jie and Xu Shiyun playing with their son Zhang Renshun in the living room.

"Father-in-law!" Zhang Hao shouted with a smile after entering,

And Xu Jie also hugged Zhang Renshun, and when he saw Zhang Hao coming back, he also stood up with a smile,
Xu Shiyun went over to pick up the child, and said to Zhang Hao, "Master hasn't eaten yet, right?"

Now that Zhang Hao's family is separated, it's a rule for people in the house to call Zhang Hao the master and Xu Shiyun the wife.

"Haven't eaten it yet, and the father-in-law hasn't eaten it either?" Zhang Hao asked with a smile.

"No, it will be over soon!" Xu Jie nodded and said.

"That's fine. Tell the kitchen to cook more dishes, especially the dishes that father-in-law likes!" Zhang Hao immediately said to Xu Shiyun.

"I have already ordered you to go down, I thought you were eating in the palace!" Xu Shiyun said with a smile.

"Well, I didn't go to the palace, it's too late, hey, father-in-law, go to my study!" Zhang Hao said to Xu Jie with a smile,

Every evening, Xu Shiyun would go to burn the stove in Zhang Hao's study. Knowing that Zhang Hao was back, she must go to the study. Even Xu Shiyun liked Zhang Hao's study.

Of course, Xu Shiyun also has her own study, but it is not as big as Zhang Hao's, and the scenery outside is not as good.

Soon, Zhang Hao and Xu Jie arrived at the study room, Zhang Hao sat there and began to make tea for Xu Jie.

"This morning, when you were arresting people, His Majesty summoned us, but it scared us too much. As you said, the money for salt and customs duties needs to be used to buy land. Your Majesty has already planned this, so , now we can only agree that
At noon, our cabinet and the Ministry of Accounts issued an announcement. From now on, this money can only be used here. Of course, it still needs to meet the needs of the Ministry of Accounts. The Ministry of Accounts still needs to apply for the money first! " Xu Jie sat there and said.

"This was discussed a long time ago, and I told you not to make trouble. You must do it!" Zhang Hao said helplessly.

"Hey, the old man knew it back then, but he couldn't stop it. Otherwise, the ministers would have objections. However, they probably regretted it now, including Yan Song. They should not have done this. I didn't expect , to make such a big event,
In addition, I heard that His Majesty will start to investigate the localities next year and thoroughly rectify the administration of officials. This old man still agrees, but many people do not agree. Before His Majesty did not care about the government, many officials in the localities were corrupt. Now they will start to settle accounts.
Tell me, the officials below will not be scared, so now they are fighting to see who is going to investigate. We thought His Majesty would let the Metropolitan Procuratorate go, but he didn't let go. I guess, when the time comes, Your Majesty I will definitely choose someone, and it is estimated that it may be you! "Xu Jie sat there and continued talking,

Zhang Hao nodded, and said: "Your Majesty said before, let me go. I'm not free next year. There are still many things to do in Tangshan, so it may not be me, but there is a high probability that it will be me. I guess His Majesty will not." Let me rest, this time the audit, it is estimated that the upper court is much better, at least I dare not go to corruption like this,

The money from the court should still be spent on the righteous way, which is good for the people of the world, and I estimate that the officials arrested this time can get millions, or even tens of millions of acres of land. The official has found more than 1 mu of land, and he has not gone to his hometown to check the accounts. Once found out, it is estimated that it will not be less than [-] mu.

As for those more senior officials, how much do they have in their families, and their wealth exceeds more than 100 million taels of silver? An official, on average, may exceed 20 million mu of land, and 20% of the goal of 200 million mu of land may be achieved. I really didn't expect it! "

"So much?" Xu Jie was also shocked, a clerk of the household department got so much money, so what about more advanced ones?

"Can't believe it? I've seen so many, but I can't believe it, but there are more people who have stolen their homes than him, and there are many more, probably more than 100, and there are probably not many people who are less than him!" Zhang Hao said with a wry smile. .

"Hey, they, hey!" Xu Jie also sighed, he really didn't know about this.

"Among them, one of Yan Song's disciples, who is also from the household department, copied more than 180 million taels of silver, 5 taels of gold, more than 4 mu of land across the country, 13 shops, one restaurant, and one workshop from his home. Think about it, it's scary!" Zhang Hao sat there and continued talking to Xu Jie.

"My God!" Xu Jie was also shocked.

I have been an official for so many years, my family is only about 20 taels, and there is no corruption. It is all money in exchange for small gifts. I did not expect the officials below to be so courageous.

"Also. Your protégé Liang Yuhai!" Zhang Hao looked at Xu Jie and continued, and Xu Jie was looking at Zhang Hao.

"His family confiscated 25 taels of silver, various precious items worth about 40 taels, 2 mu of land, 7 shops, and two mansions! This is still in the capital, and I don't know how many there are in my hometown!" Zhang Hao looked. As Xu Jie continued,

Xu Jie was already dumbfounded at this moment, he thought Liang Yuhai was fine and asked Zhang Hao to save him when the time came, but now, Xu Jie didn't even dare to say anything, with so much money, how courageous they are!
"Hey, I don't know if I don't check, I'll be shocked if I check!" Zhang Hao continued, and then began to pour tea for Xu Jie.

"There are so many, eh, this time, I'm afraid the government and the public will be shaken!" Xu Jie didn't know what to say to Zhang Hao at the moment, but everyone was shocked by the audit this time.

"Don't worry about the disciples of my father-in-law. If something goes wrong, you can't handle it. I think they will all need to die. With such a large amount of money, how can your majesty let them go? So, father-in-law, you have to know about this matter yourself That's right!" Zhang Hao said to Xu Jie.

"I know, now the old man knows, when the time comes, I will ask those disciples how much they have been corrupted, if it exceeds 1 taels, then forget it!" Xu Jie nodded and said.

"Then I can tell you clearly that there is no less than 5 taels!" Zhang Hao immediately looked at Xu Jie and said, Xu Jie just looked at Zhang Hao in astonishment, then sighed, and said nothing.

"Father-in-law, don't worry about this matter. It's not that simple. Besides, there are many officials who are related to those feudal kings. Some of the money was given by the feudal kings.

Therefore, many of them are going to die. If there are 200 people, it is not bad to keep 10 people. Many state officials have relatives who have been arrested. I have all of them in my family, and I am too lazy to care about them! Zhang Hao looked at Xu Jie and continued.

"Your relatives also have them?" Xu Jie looked at Zhang Hao in surprise and said.

"My cousin, the son of my old aunt, has corrupted more than 30 taels of money in the Ministry of War, and he is probably going to die!" Zhang Hao nodded and said to Xu Jie.

"Well, hey!" Xu Jie still didn't know what to say, he had already been corrupted so much, if he still said that, he was dead.

After a while, Xu Jie calmed down his mood, and said to Zhang Hao: "Originally, the old man came here to inquire about the situation of those officials, but now it seems that there is no need to inquire. Before, Yan Song and the others asked me to come You, I hope you can help, let some people go, what else do you say? Tomorrow, I will tell them the truth and see if they still want to save them?"

"Well, it's impossible to save them. They're not stupid. If you want to save them, you have to go to the emperor. Jin Yiwei is still trying the case overnight!" Zhang Hao said while sitting there.

"That's fine, that would be easier. However, your subordinates are the people in Yanhe Shuntian Mansion. How about them? I heard from your elder brother that the officials in Shuntian Mansion are not bad, but Zhang Juzheng, who is in charge of Yan, Hu Zongxian, how are you?" Xu Jie immediately asked the two of them.

"Huh?" Zhang Hao didn't understand what Tuan meant, so he just stared at him.

"Now the two of them manage so much wealth, if they want to be corrupt, it will be a big trouble, and you need to pay attention!" Xu Jie reminded Zhang Hao.

"Well, don't worry about that. Someone is watching them. Once they have such signs, I will clean them up. But it's not bad now. Hu Zongxian will return to Beijing to report on his work. the case of salt income,
There is also the situation in Taiyuan. Zhang Juzheng is estimated to be transferred soon to serve as the magistrate. As for Zhang Juzheng's position, he will pick someone to go there. I want my eldest brother to go. Do you think it will work?But I'm afraid that my eldest brother will not be able to withstand the temptation! Zhang Hao immediately looked at Xu Jie and asked.

"What, let your elder brother Xu Fan go?" Xu Jie was surprised when he heard it.
