Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

The official office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has moved out of Nangong and moved to Chaoku Street.

Although it was already midnight, the official office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was still brightly lit, and the censors and officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate came and went, and they were very busy.

The sound of the abacus in the lobby of the official office was even louder.

Yes, the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are still doing accounting.

Ma Mingpao is already very impatient. I have calculated this for two months, and I have calculated it eight times from the beginning to the end. Isn't it enough?Do you want to count again for the ninth time?Is it over?

"Zuo Guangxian!" In a rage, Ma Mingpao no longer wanted to call Zuo Guangxian his official title, but called him by his first name.

"Is the procuratorate finished? You have already counted eight times, and you have to do it again? Do you know how urgent the military situation on the front line in Xuzhou is now?"

"How many things are waiting for our Ministry of Internal Affairs to do?"

"It has delayed the military situation on the front line of Xuzhou and ruined the defense line of Huanghuai. Can you afford it?"

"Ma Minghao!" Zuo Guangxian snorted coldly and shouted, "Don't scare me with Xuzhou's military situation and the Huanghuai defense line. I, Zuo Guangxian, am not even afraid of the Holy Majesty, but I am afraid of you, a mere master?"

Ma Mingpao was furious and said, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"Of course it's about punishing corruption and eradicating evil! Give me a clean and upright officialdom in Daming!" Zuo Guang first bowed in the direction of Nangong, and said righteously, "Ma Mingpao, I advise you to take the initiative to confess, if you take the initiative Confessions can still be punished lightly, but if you are lucky and stubborn to the end, when we find out, the crime will be aggravated!"

"I've told you eight hundred times, I'm not corrupt, I'm not corrupt, I'm not corrupt!" Ma Mingtao said angrily, "What exactly do you want me to confess? What do you want to confess?"

"I'll ask you what to confess." Zuo Guangxian said righteously.

"Ma Minghao, I advise you to think about it carefully, and don't make mistakes!"

Seeing Zuo Guangxian's hateful face with Zhizhu in his hands, Ma Mingpao couldn't help frowning.

This time, Zuo Guang became more confident when he came here this time. Could it be that this mad dog really found something?

It shouldn't be. Although the number of officials in the Ministry of Internal Affairs has expanded to more than a hundred, the accounts are clear. Every amount of money, every batch of materials, and even the cost of Lumi can be accounted for. No problem?
"Ma Minghao, it seems that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin." Zuo Guang said first, "Since you are so stubborn, I don't have to show mercy to you. Bring the account book!"

Immediately, an official from the Metropolitan Procuratorate handed over an account book.

Zuo Guang first opened the account book and said, "What's on it?"

Ma Mingpao took a look and said, "Is there anything wrong with the salary expenditure of the officials under the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

"How dare you speak hard now." Zuo Guangxian sternly said, "Why is the salary of the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs as high as two taels a month? It is more than twice the salary of the officials of Zhan Shifu, Taipusi, etc.!"

"What's so strange about this?" Ma Mingpao said with a blank face, "The affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are complicated, and the officials are often busy until late at night, even on holidays without a break. Shouldn't they be paid more for such hard work?"

"You still dare to quibble!" Zuo Guangxian yelled sternly, "Ma Minghao, you and the bureaucrats pretended to pay salaries, and the evil deeds of amassing money from it have come to light. I advise you to tell the truth!"

...

"You say that this official and other officials are paying salaries? The monthly salaries of more than a hundred officials are more than two hundred taels, and half of them are falsely paid, which is only a little over a hundred taels. Self-serving fraud? Zuo Guangxian, who do you look down on?" Ma Mingtao laughed angrily, "Haha, this is really a crime to be added."

Having said this, Ma Mingpao laughed and sarcastically again.

"I have learned the prestige of the Metropolitan Procuratorate today."

"A mere one hundred taels? Vice-President Ma is so relieved." Zuo Guangxian said with a sneer, "The Taizu imperially enacted the Great Ming law, embezzling sixty taels, peeling the skins and stuffing grass!"

"You?" Ma Mingpao was suddenly taken aback.

It wasn't until this time that Ma Mingpao realized that the other party wanted to kill him!

It was also at this time that Ma Mingpao finally realized that the other party was not coming for Ma Mingpao at all, but for the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Holy Majesty!
He, Ma Mingpao, was just a catcher.

These people really dare?Do they really dare?

Immediately Ma Minghao shouted: "Mr. Zuo Guang, how dare you!"

"Do you think I dare?" Zuo Guang snorted coldly and shouted, "Come on!"

Nanjing also had Jingying soldiers, and immediately a group of Jingying soldiers rushed into the lobby of the House of Internal Affairs.

Zuo Guang first pointed at Ma Mingpao, and shouted with a dark face, "Take down this huge greed and Benxian!"

Two Beijing battalion soldiers rushed up to control Ma Mingpao immediately.

Ma Mingpao struggled desperately, but couldn't break free at all.

"Stop!" A low shout came suddenly.

When Zuo Guangxian and Ma Minglu looked back anxiously, they saw Shi Kefa, the chief assistant of the cabinet, had walked in quickly with a dark face, and behind Shi Kefa was Liu Zongzhou, the Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Liu Zongzhou was so angry that his beard was shaking.

"Old Shi Ge, Du Xian." Zuo Guang hurried forward to salute.

Shi Kefa didn't pay attention, but just gave the two Beijing soldiers a look.

The two Beijing soldiers hurriedly let go of Ma Mingpao, and stepped aside anxiously.

But Liu Zongzhou pointed at Zuo Guangxian's nose and cursed angrily: "Zuo Guangxian, didn't Benxian tell you to stop reviewing the accounts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and you dare not listen? Do you still have Ben Duxian in your eyes? ?”

Liu Zongzhou is honest and self-confident, and he is also very kind. He is really angry today.

But Zuo Guangxian was not afraid, he bowed in the direction of Nangong and said: "There is a cabinet vote and Yongwang's approval of red, and this is the duty of the lower official as a wind constitution official, and I dare not ignore it."

"Do you have a cabinet vote to agree with King Yong?" Liu Zongzhou was taken aback when he heard this.

"Nonsense!" Shi Kefa said angrily, "Has the cabinet ever issued a bill?"

"Master Ge, this is a ticket issued by the servant." As soon as Shi Kefa's words fell, Gao Hongtu in a python robe also slowly walked into the lobby of the House of Internal Affairs, "Shou Kui is not feeling well these few days and is recuperating at home, so the servant will do it for you." .”

"Old Gao Ge!" Shi Kefa frowned slightly, "My servant said, the accounts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not be checked first."

"Old Shige, I'm afraid this won't work." Gao Hongtu said solemnly, "It's about the country of the Ming Dynasty, and I dare not ignore it."

Shi Kefa said: "Because it concerns the country of the Ming Dynasty, we need to be cautious about this matter. Otherwise, it will inevitably endanger the millions of soldiers and civilians on the front line of Xuzhou, and it may even lead to the collapse of the Huanghuai defense line!"

...

Gao Hongtu said: "But if we don't investigate, our Ming Dynasty may be in danger of being overthrown!"

"What do you mean by that?" Shi Kefa asked with a frown, "Why do you worry about being overthrown suddenly?"

"I'm about to report to Shou Kui." Gao Hongtu said solemnly, "The deputy head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Ma Minglu, has evil intentions, and even collaborated with the wealthy businessman Zhan Yangzhi of She County to secretly help the pirates with the imperial court's arms and firearms! He intends to take advantage of the false plot to plot Nanjing!"

"What? Ma Minghao colluded with pirates to plot Nanjing?" Shi Kefa and Liu Zongzhou's expression changed suddenly.

Zuo Guangxian was also in a daze, why did he come up with another conspiracy?Gao Ge is not particular, since you have such a killer move in your hands, why let so many of us waste two months in the Ministry of Internal Affairs?

Ma Mingyu's face was already livid with anger, and he roared at Gao Hongtu: "Gao Hongtu, as the minister of the cabinet, you don't want to serve the country's monarch, don't want to help the country and relieve the people, but instead turn black and white , framing colleagues, acting recklessly, are you really not afraid of being infamous for thousands of years after you fail? Do you really know what you are doing?"

"Master Bu Lao Ma reminds me that this cabinet department is very clear." Gao Hongtu said coldly, "What this cabinet department is doing now is to report to the king of the country and protect Nanjing and even Nanzhi for the financial crisis of millions of people. A rescue move!"

"What dangers do the millions of people in Nanzhi need to relieve?" Ma Mingpao was so angry that his beard and hair were all swollen, his eyes were red, and his whole body was about to explode. "The ones who are in danger now are more than a hundred people in Xuzhou Thousands of soldiers and civilians are the defense line of the Huanghuai River, the Holy Majesty and my Ming dynasty for three hundred years, Gao Hongtu, have you never thought that doing so will ruin my Ming dynasty?"

"Nonsense!" Gao Hongtu shook his head in the direction of Xuzhou, and said righteously, "The Huai'an Mansion has just won a big victory, and the Huanghuai defense line is as solid as a rock, and Xuzhou is even more indestructible with a sage sitting in it."

"Vice-President Ma, I advise you not to take any chances."

"Creating panic and spreading anxiety cannot cover up your crime of colluding with pirates."

Speaking of this meal, he said again: "Zhan Yangzhi has been arrested. The crime of you and Zhan Yangzhi colluding with the big bandit Gu Sanmazi to rob Nanjing has been revealed."

……

Kang Wanwan had been busy all night and had just returned home before dawn.

As a result, after sitting down for a while, the old butler Kang Fu hurried in again.

Behind Kang Fu was a servant, and he had a slight impression of this servant, Kang Wanwan, as if it was the same as the elders who followed Zhan Yangzhi.

"Uncle Guo, help!"

As soon as Zhan's parents came in, they knelt down on the ground.

"What's the matter?" Kang Wanwan asked with a blank expression.

But Zhan's parents only kowtowed Dongdongdong, begging repeatedly: "Please, Uncle Guo, save my master, please, Uncle Guo, save my master, save my master!"

"Hey, hey, hurry up and talk."

Kang Wanwan gave him a hand but failed to help Zhan's parents up.

Immediately, Kang Wanwan stomped his feet and said, "You have to tell me what happened to Zhan's family, right?"

Zhan's parents then said: "Uncle Guo, my master was arrested by the officers and soldiers of Admiral Caojiang's yamen, and they said that our Zhan family has linked up with the big bandit Gu Sanmazi to loot Nanjing."

"What?" Kang Wanwan was completely dumbfounded after hearing the words.

The Zhan family colluded with the big bandit Gu Sanmazi?Want to loot the city of Nanjing?
How much soju do you have to drink to say such nonsense?Zhan's family is a giant merchant in She County, giant merchants like them and pirates are mortal enemies, Zhan Yangzhi can't wait to eat Gu Sanmazi's flesh, how can he hook up with him?
Also, what benefit would the Zhan family benefit from looting Nanjing City?
Do you know how many properties the Zhan family has in Nanjing?

Can't we make up a more reliable crime?
