Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 441 Shock

In the second year of Tianqi, the second day of the first lunar month.

Jinan Fucheng.

The Institute of Integrity is temporarily stationed in Guanyi.

"Integrity, something big happened!!"

Ni Wenhuan walked in a hurry. Before anyone could reach the main hall, the voice came in first. This made Cui Chengxiu, Tian Ji, and Li Kuilong, who were discussing the details of the water transport case, subconsciously look at the door of the hall.

"There are big changes in Dongchang and Yanzhou!"

Facing the gazes of several people, Ni Wenhuan walked into the main hall and said with a serious expression: "The remnants of Bailian, the remnants of oral smuggling, and the hidden piles of Jianlu who were active in the two mansions have been eradicated. The Jinyiwei dispatched a large number of flag schools, and there were even many The army is dispatched, and now the water transport coasts in both provinces are under control."

"When did it happen? Why didn't we know anything about it before?"

Li Kuilong's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Ni Wenhuan with surprise and said, "Where did you get this news? Why didn't the Jin Yiwei send any news?"

"It happened on New Year's Eve."

Ni Wenhuan replied: "These news have spread in Jinan City, and all the prefects under Shandong have come to the governor's office today. According to what I have found out, it was Yuan Ke who ordered them to come urgently. Who If you dare to miss the deadline, Yuan Ke will immediately throw off his official hat."

"In other words, Shandong Governor Yuan Keli also knew about the affairs of Dongchang and Yanzhou in advance?" Tian Ji heard the implication and frowned at Ni Wenhuan.

"I can't say for sure."

Ni Wenhuan shook his head slightly and said: "But this is all too coincidental. Just as big changes occurred in the two prefectures of Dongchang and Yanzhou, the prefects of the other prefectures were called to Jinan. It is definitely unrealistic to say that Yuan Keli had no prior knowledge. .”

At this time, both Li Kuilong and Tian Ji subconsciously looked at Cui Chengxiu.

Just now.

They were still discussing the details of the water transportation case. The Kong family members who had been arrested previously had all confessed. That is to say, Kong Yinzhi did not give up his stubborn words. However, the clues they investigated in the past allowed them to find many problems. , such as Linqingguan in Dongchang Prefecture, and several sections of water transportation in Yanzhou Prefecture, all of which involved many local officials, gentry and other groups. During this period, they were actually asked to find some of the various vassals in Shandong Province. People are really secretly involved.

The reason why they have not taken action for a long time is that the situation in Shandong is complicated, and the other is the influence of the above-mentioned forces. But now, without their knowledge, the remnants of White Lotus, the remnants of oral smuggling, and the hidden piles of Jianlu, etc., have actually Being cooked in a pot, the impact of this was really too great.

"The trackers in Yanzhou Prefecture are not in trouble?"

Cui Chengxiu, who had been silent, raised his head and looked at Ni Wenhuan.

"There should be no chaos."

Ni Wenhuan said uncertainly: "There is no news about this in Jinan City. Many people in Jinan City are now shocked by this matter."

"Then go check it out!!"

Cui Chengxiu frowned and said: "We, the Integrity Commission, came to Shandong to supervise the water transport case, and it was under the emperor's decree. Now that such major events are happening in Dongchang and Yanzhou, we don't know anything about it. What kind of case is this investigation called?"

"Yes, I will send someone to investigate right now."

Ni Wenhuan immediately bowed and bowed.

"We also need to find out where the troops dispatched from Dongchang and Yanzhou came from." Cui Chengxiu stretched out his hand and said: "To be able to dispatch the suppression so quickly without any news during the period, it must not be from Shandong. If this is true If so, there are some things we can follow." "Here!"

Ni Wenhuan hurriedly lowered his head and responded.

Cui Chengxiu sat on the official hat chair, and his mood became very complicated. Originally, he was still worried about the water transportation case and how to solve it quickly. But after learning about these unexpected changes, Cui Chengxiu was thinking about other things.

"Lian Xian, do you think Yuan Keli secretly facilitated this matter?" After seeing Ni Wenhuan leave in a hurry, Li Kuilong stepped forward and said: "If this is the case, then Yuan Keli is too unreasonable. After all, we came to Shandong to investigate the case. , that’s a blessing…”

"He Yuan Keli doesn't have such great ability."

But Cui Chengxiu shook his head and said: "It is possible to mobilize a large number of Jin Yiwei and mobilize a large number of troops to secretly go to Shandong. Except His Majesty, no one else can do it. And according to my guess, the troops that are dispatched are... Those teams that His Majesty values ​​​​very much include those stationed in Tianjin."

"!!!"

At this time, both Li Kuilong and Tian Ji were surprised. They had never thought that all this was caused by the emperor far away in the capital. But if this was really the case, why should they hide it from them.

After all, they came to Shandong to investigate the case under the emperor's will.

"Your Majesty wants to use this to shock everyone in Shandong."

Cui Chengxiu narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "The reason why we didn't know about it before is that His Majesty wanted to express his attitude. Our efficiency in handling the case was too slow. Of course, he also made it clear to us that the Integrity Commission went to Shandong to investigate the water transportation case. As for the In addition, all the unstable factors that affect the case have been eradicated. If we don’t make any progress, His Majesty will reprimand me."

So this is ah.

After hearing what his family Lian Xian said, what Li Kuilong and Tian Ji couldn't figure out suddenly became clear, but at the same time, they both felt great pressure.

The only unstable factor that affected the investigation was uprooted by the emperor who was far away in the capital. Then it would be really unreasonable if they made no progress.

But the crux of the matter is that the water transport case supervised by the Institute of Integrity has a greater impact on a wider group of people than those monsters.

"The finalized list of vassal clans and clans must be arrested as soon as possible." Under this situation, Cui Chengxiu looked at Tian Ji and said: "You will be responsible for supervising this matter. Make sure that these people are arrested. This shock is still there, let’s deal with this first.”

"Here!"

Tian Ji immediately bowed in response.

"Go to Yanzhou Prefecture, arrest all the suspected officials, and take them to Jinan City for interrogation." Cui Chengxiu then said to Li Kuilong, "Since there are troops stationed in Yanzhou Prefecture and martial law has been imposed on both sides of the waterway, let's take this opportunity. Can’t miss it.”

"What about Dongchang Mansion?"

Li Kuilong frowned and said, "After all..."

"This Ben Xian has to go to the governor's office."

Cui Chengxiu raised his lips slightly and said: "Since His Majesty's will is very clear, the water transportation case needs to be investigated thoroughly, so we alone are not enough, and Yuan Keli can't even think of being alone."

High! !

When the two of them heard this, they couldn't help but marvel in their hearts. Since things have evolved like this, why not take advantage of the chaos to move all the things that they didn't dare to touch in the past, and tie the Shandong Governor's Yamen to them, so that in this way, During the follow-up investigation of the case, even if the truth is revealed, the Shandong Governor's Yamen must express its attitude.
