eldest son of Ming dynasty

Wang Jia sat on the main seat and drank the tea in the cup one by one.

Below, Xie Guangxie, Liu Chun, Chen Ding, Zhu Weichun and other imperial envoys who came down the previous time all sat with their heads down.

After a long time, Wang Jia sighed.

"Why do it?"

I don't know who to ask this sentence.

"In the early years of the new dynasty, the country's affairs were on the right track, and it was the time when the weather began to change. It was already busy, and time was even more precious. The old man and Shi Weigong (Wang Bingzi) selected you guys to make this happen. Your Majesty, the two of us are guaranteeing for you. Look at yourself, what have you done?
Too selfish to read the books of sages.Not to mention wasting half a month of my time, I still have to hang my head here with you.If this kind of thing requires the old man to come in person, what's the use of you? "

Compared to Yang Yiqing, Wang Jia is not such a strict person.

But anyone who knows him well knows that Wang Jia attaches great importance to whether his "character" is noble or not.

It is very important to say such words at this moment.

Xie and Liu knew that this matter could not be avoided, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet.

Liu Chundao: "The lower officials did not do their job well enough to disappoint the emperor and the old man was so ashamed. However, we are still in the process of trying the case of underpayment of wages by the officials of the Shaofu. The magistrate of Shanyang County was arrested earlier, which caused some twists and turns. Right now, we are ready to rely on him to investigate the case clearly and give the old man and His Majesty a clear and clear explanation."

"If you did this before, why did His Majesty get angry, and why did you want me to come to Huai'an? Do you know what His Majesty said?"

"Your officer... I don't know."

"Your Majesty ordered the old man to ask you."

As soon as these words came out, everyone got up from their seats and knelt down.

In fact, it is not necessary to do this again and again in normal times, but when they commit a crime, they always feel guilty.

"I want to ask you, are you reporting the situation here truthfully, or have you reported it selectively?"

"Ge Lao..." Xie Guangxie raised his head and wanted to say.

But Wang Yan raised his arm falsely, "This is what His Majesty asked you, not this old man. If you want to go back, go back to His Majesty by yourself in the palace. The old man just reminds you...

... Jin Yiwei is here, do you know that? "

"Ah!" The crowd exclaimed, and they immediately thought that the emperor must have known the whole story, and they were still angry after knowing it, because they were clearly dissatisfied with what they played!
How do you answer this!

The emperor must have criticized them severely, and severe criticism is a small punishment!
At this time, not only Xie Guangxie, Liu Chun, but also Chen Ding was flustered.

A ten-year career in the officialdom, the ups and downs are often at the emperor's whim.

Now the emperor's thoughts are not good for them!

"Elder Pavilion!" Liu Chun was a little anxious, "The officials were confused for a moment, and now they know that they are wrong. The officials will do their best to complete what your Majesty told you, and report it truthfully. We, we will make an apology to His Majesty. Please, please give me some kind words!"

"Ugh."

Wang Jia would never agree to such words, because this is the emperor's business, and he can't make the decision.

"What's the use of a few good words? You are all high-ranking officials in the capital, why are you still so confused?! Your Majesty's intelligence is directly comparable to Taizu Taizong's, but you want to get away with it. You really don't know what to say. Now that you're better, what should you do? Think Your Majesty can't catch a few corrupt officials? At this time, the only way to pay off the crime is to pay off the crime and handle the matter well, maybe you can alleviate some of the guilt."

"Yes, yes, the officials will definitely handle this case wholeheartedly."

Wang Jia was a little irritable, "Why don't you go quickly? Wait for the old man to go?!"

Xie Guangxie, Liu Chun and others quickly got up.

Chen Ding and Zhu Weichun also followed.

But Ge Lao gave another order, "Zhu Langzhong, please stay for a while."

"Zhu Weichun started to mutter in his heart, thinking that something happened.

"Since you've come to Huai'an Mansion, let's go and see how the road is being repaired. You follow the old man and start now."

Zhu Weichun bent over and said: "Mr. Ge, it's almost noon now, why don't you take a break and go after lunch, and give the subordinate some time to make arrangements."

"Arrange what?"

"Arrangement... um..." Zhu Weichun did not expect that someone in the officialdom would ask such a question, "Arrangement for the inspection."

"It's all arranged, just follow along."

When Wang Jia came here, he would not just simply investigate the case.

After threatening, he still asked Liu and Xie to contribute, not to say that if you want to punish them, you don't have to work, it's not such a good thing.

He still wanted to see for himself how the roads in this place were being repaired.

If he still can't find the problem, then he will take care of it.

When the elder Ge arrives, it is not an ordinary scene.Cao Du, who was 'not in Huai'an for a few days', also showed up some time, and Chen Tai had already arrived and waited outside.

As soon as Wang Jia went out, he went to meet the ceremony.

"Chen Tai, the next official governor, pays his respects to elder Ge."

"Is the person released?"

Chen Tai understood completely, "It's been released, there's nothing serious about it, it's just that I've been in prison for a few days, and I've lost some weight."

"You are the governor of Huai'an, Yangzhou and other prefectures. The Liangjing Avenue is [-] kilometers away in your jurisdiction. Have you never heard of the government's embezzlement of people's wages?"

Chen Tai pursed his lips, he felt the sharpness of swords in these words.

If he replied that he had heard, have you addressed it?If yes, if it can't be solved, why didn't you play it?And let a county magistrate play?
If he replied that he hadn't heard, then a charge of oversight was always inevitable.

Low-level officials may think that negligence is a petty crime, but as the governor of water transportation, Chen Tai knows that in this dynasty, it is related to the people's livelihood and it is serious if they don't care about it.

The emperor hated such officials the most.

So Wang Jia looked at peace, but actually said something that killed people.

"This matter is the situation in Shanyang County. The lower officials have also heard about it."

"Since I heard that, you, a third-rank water transport governor and Fengyang governor, can't solve this problem?"

"It's not that it can't be solved, it's just that the lower officials originally thought that this kind of matter is related to the common people. These people will never do too much, and they are a little negligent."

Wang Jia shook his head, the old man was still so naughty.

"Young officer, why don't you accompany Mr. Ge to inspect it on the ground. As for this case, I don't think anyone will dare to play tricks anymore."

Chen Tai also knew that the imperial envoys must have been frightened.

This is actually a bit like a warrior who can't fight a war and is replaced by another person. So what is the position of the person who is replaced in the hearts of the superiors?
that's the truth,
Xie Guangxie and Liu Chun, as if they had never been so serious in their life, gathered the people and accounts of the Shaofu, the personnel and accounts of the engineering team, and some ordinary people and started to investigate.

The engineering team also has its own accounts. You can fake the money allocated from above, or you can fake the money allocated to the people, but if you don’t have the money, you can always find out what’s wrong if you go to the source. The source is the people, and the people didn’t receive the money!
If that's the case, it's time to clean up the engineering team.

This is different.

No one would put their own lives on the line. Although the Shaofu is in charge of them, these officials seem to be unable to protect themselves, and they are not relatives. If they don’t receive the money, they still have to be fooled here. Why?It's like recognizing your ancestors.

There is also the embezzlement of funds in the project. This project is still in the "startup" stage, and many links are not designed perfectly.

The imperial envoys followed Zhang Cong from day to night, digging up the accounts bit by bit to check. There were more than [-] old abacus in a room clattering, and the problem was quickly found out.

"I can't match the account! If all the money is paid to the common people, there will be nothing like today!"

"Is it a fake account?!"

"There is another account book!" Zhang Cong asserted, and he said: "It is useless to go to the Shaofu Yamen at this time. They must not cry when they see the coffin. You have to find these engineering teams. They know best whether they have cooperated in making false accounts!"

That's good, after the breakthrough is found.

Liu and Xie didn't lick their faces and went to report to Wang Jia, so let's do it by themselves.For cases filed by the imperial court and the emperor, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple are there to arrest people and try cases!
Yan Liwen, the head of the Shaofu, is bound to escape, including the officials in the yamen, one counts as the other, and they all have to be arrested and questioned.

The prisoner's dilemma method used by the emperor, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Dali Temple have long been familiar with it, and they will use it according to the gourd painting.

At this time, Tian Ruofu, the prefect of Huai'an Prefecture, was terrified.

He looked for an opportunity and started running with a large sum of money.

Speaking of which, the corrupt officials of the Ming Dynasty now have an extra way of life, which is to escape to the sea.

This was unexpected by Zhu Houzhao at the beginning. In the past, they had no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the earth under the sea ban.Hey, but after opening the sea, someone came up with a way to escape overseas.

This is what Tian Ruofu came up with.

Although he is still reluctant to part with the glory and wealth of the Celestial Dynasty, compared with fate, fate is still more important.

It's a pity that he didn't know that Jin Yiwei had already intervened in this matter.

After sneaking away in the middle of the night and being caught back, the appearance of several Jin Yiwei shocked Xie Guangxie and Liu Chun: This case really needs to be investigated carefully!
As for Tian Ruofu, it was the worst.

"My job, please forgive me!!"

The magistrate who used to be aloof began to shout this sentence repeatedly.

But Zhang Cong didn't feel his pity. Instead, he rushed out of the main room and said viciously: "If you are really told to run away, I really don't know what happened to the warehouse in Shanyang County! Now all of you are here, Tian Ruofu, tell me clearly, did you ask me to borrow food?!"
