Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 291 Give you a chance (fifth update)

Lin Cunde held the wine glass and toasted to the officials present. The officials all stood up tremblingly, holding the wine glasses and looking at Lin Cunde. At this moment, they realized how terrifying the young man in front of them was, and the shopkeeper next to him was already leaning next to him. I can no longer stand on the table!

"After drinking this cup together, the luncheon is over!" Lin Cunde said as he finished the wine in the cup, then showed the bottom of the cup to everyone, and then put down the cup!
The other officials all drank from their glasses, revealed the bottom of their glasses, and put down their glasses.

"Everyone here, no matter what your position is, after the luncheon, go back to your posts. Even if you can't work, you still have to go back to your posts and manage the affairs in your yamen. During this period, the new officials will also Taking office one after another, implementing new policies,
Also, tomorrow, you will all gather at Hangzhou Mansion with your local teachings and local scholars and candidates. I have something for them to do, remember? "Lin Cunde asked those officials,

The remaining dozen or so officials nodded quickly.

"Well, that's it!" Lin Cunde waved his hands, put his hands behind his back, and walked outside.

Wang Zhi and Chen Zhao quickly followed.

"Dazai, you will handle the interrogation, and the Jin Yiwei will handle the house confiscation. I am not denying those officials a chance. Tell them that as long as they can clearly explain the reasonable and legal sources of their family's wealth, I will release them immediately. If No, tell them, I don’t want all their family members to be exiled, nor do I want their young women to enter the Jiaofang Division!

As long as they confess their corrupt methods, the source of their money, and those who are complicit in the corruption, I will take into account their contribution and try my best to protect their families from injustice. I will even leave part of the house and land for their families!

Confiscating homes is not the purpose, fighting corruption and implementing the New Deal is the purpose! You need to make this clear to our colleagues. I don’t want it to expand, but I also don’t want it to happen. There are still many corrupt officials in the court. This wind will definitely blow to the capital! Lin Cunde said to Wang Zhi with his hands behind his back.

"Understood!" Wang Zhi nodded immediately, not daring to ignore Lin Cunde's words!
"Master Chen!" Lin Cunde said, turning to look at Chen Zhao behind him.

"Yes!" Chen Zhao quickly said with his hands raised, and he was also afraid of Lin Cunde. He was arresting people like this while drinking, without any warning in advance!

Even so, it was difficult for them to refute Lin Cunde or impeach Lin Cunde, because Lin Cunde brought people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and they did not dare to say anything. Doesn't that explain the problem?

Moreover, it was the Jinyiwei who arrested the person, not the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment or the yamen of Dali Temple. That’s it. If the Jinyiwei arrested the person, they were probably sent to Fusi Prison in Beizhen!

"I have to work hard during this period to help stabilize the situation in Hangzhou. I see that the prefect of Hangzhou was also arrested today. There are also other officials in Hangzhou. Many of them were arrested. Hangzhou is empty. You want to stir up trouble. , Stabilize the situation, Hangzhou Magistrate, the court will send people over soon!" Lin Cunde said to Chen Zhao.

"Yes, sir, it's just like this, like this!" Chen Zhao still didn't understand. How could he interrogate so many people after arresting them? Also, the local squires will have objections. In addition, the Zhejiang officials who are serving as officials abroad will probably impeach Lin Cunde soon after learning the news!

But when he thought about Lin Cunde's achievements, status, and background, Chen Zhao thought again, if he had learned the news, would he dare to impeach Lin Cunde? Moreover, you don’t even know how to impeach Lin Cunde before the results of the interrogation of these officials are released!
Lin Cunde came with an imperial edict and a mission. If he wanted to arrest someone, he only needed to explain it to His Majesty. Others were not qualified to listen to the explanation. Even if the cabinet wanted to know, they had to write to ask Lin Cunde. Lin Cunde still has to wait and see whether his mood will change or not!

"This is normal. Among the officials arrested today, whose land is less than 3,000 acres, whose mansion is less than no acres, and whose concubines are more than three, tell me, use Can their salary support it?" Lin Cunde looked ahead with his hands behind his back and said with a smile!

"This!" Upon hearing this, Chen Zhao did not dare to speak.

"I will give them a chance. As long as they explain the reasonable and legal source of the money, they will be released at any time!" Lin Cunde continued!

Chen Zhao was also listening from behind!

Soon, they arrived at the Chief Envoy's Yamen. Lin Cunde stopped and said to Chen Zhao and Wang Zhi: "You can go to the office for interrogation. Dazai, tell the people you brought here that there are some things that you should not get involved in. The Jinyi Guards ransacked the house. , a lot of things will be copied, and if the officials can’t explain clearly, it’s useless for anyone to intercede!”

"Yes, sir, don't worry, I will tell them, and I believe they won't do this!" Wang Zhi nodded quickly and said!
Lin Cunde was worried that the officials brought by Wang Zhi and the arrested officials would communicate with each other, help conceal, and then excuse themselves. This was not allowed in Lin Cunde!
"Get busy, I drank too much and want to take a nap!" Lin Cunde waved his hand and walked towards Xiang Qing's mansion with his hands behind his back!
At Xiang Qing's mansion at this moment, Xiang Qing and his wife had been waiting at the door of the mansion when they heard that Lin Cunde had come out of the restaurant. Originally, Xiang Qing's wife did not have to come out, but Xiang Qing just wanted to thank Lin Cunde, so she not only took him with her His wife and five children also came out. Xiang Qing’s eldest son is already twenty-two years old, and his youngest daughter is eleven years old. Xiang Qing’s eldest grandson is already three years old. He is being held by Xiang Qing at this moment. In hand, waiting for Lin Cunde's arrival!

After a while, I saw Lin Cunde slowly walking this way.

"Madam, you hold him while I help you!" Xiang Qing thrust his grandson into Madam's hands and trotted over to Lin Cunde.

"What are you doing?" Lin Cunde saw Xiang Qing running over and shouted quickly. "It's okay, hehe!" Xiang Qing just ran and soon reached Lin Cunde's side. He supported Lin Cunde and said, "Sir, take a good rest later! In the evening, the general and the brothers will treat you to a meal. Okay, you can drink as you like." Just click it!”

"I'll go if you invite me tonight. If you don't let me pay, I won't go. I don't know how much money you have in your hands?" Lin Cunde looked at Xiang Qing and said with a smile.

When Xiang Qing heard this, he looked at Lin Cunde in embarrassment and said: "Sir, you, aren't you just slapping my brother in the face? Who do brothers rely on for promotion? It depends on you, sir. If you hadn't led us to win the battle, how could we still have done it?" Today, let alone promotion, I don’t even know if I can survive.

You know, the general has been fighting on the border before. Not to mention Qianhu, even the commander is very likely to die in the battle. But the brothers followed you out. The casualties were so small and the battle achievements were so great. The brothers were thinking about it. ! "

"Well, after the New Deal is implemented and you have money, you can ask for more. The New Deal in Hangzhou will be implemented tomorrow. By then, your income will increase tenfold. When your salary arrives, hehe, I will feel at ease. Now, If you don’t want to eat, either I invite you or you don’t want to eat!” Lin Cunde looked at Xiang Qing and said with a smile.

"Well, how about we make the drinks ourselves?" Xiang Qing looked at Lin Cunde in embarrassment.

"Stop talking nonsense, arrange a place tonight, gather the brothers, and have a drink!" Lin Cunde smiled and cursed at Xiang Qing.

"Okay, then, you can't do this next time. Brothers don't have much money now, but we still have money to treat adults to a meal!" Xiang Qing said quickly after hearing what Lin Cunde said.

"Okay, of course!" Lin Cunde nodded.

Soon Lin Cunde arrived at the gate of Xiang Qing's new residence and saw Xiang Qing's wife and children. Lin Cunde knew them all. He had met them before when he went to Xiang Qing's house for a banquet!

"Sister-in-law, I took advantage of your new residence this time!" Lin Cunde said to Mrs. Xiang Qing with a smile.

"Mr. Marquis, you said this, but I've been waiting for you. Our master often said that you are born handsome and treat your subordinates very well. My master can follow you, Mr. Marquis, which is a blessing he has cultivated in ten lifetimes. Moreover, If the Marquis lives in this new mansion, it will taint your luck!" Mrs. Xiang Qing said with a smile. '

Lin Cunde looked at the child in Mrs. Xiang Qing's hands and said with a smile: "Xiang Qing, is your grandson so old?"

"Hey, he's three years old!" Xiang Qing looked at Lin Cunde happily and said.

"Well, good boy, little Earl, learn more about your skills!" Lin Cunde said as he took out a green jade pendant from his arms, with a red rope already tied on it, and gave it to Xiang Qing's grandson!
"Hey, sir, this, this, is too precious!" Xiang Qing saw Lin Cunde take out a green jade pendant and put it on like this. Xiang Qing could tell such a precious thing at a glance.

"No matter whether it's precious or not, we just hope that this kid will be protected by Bodhisattvas and grow up in peace and health!" Lin Cunde smiled and pinched Xiang Qing's grandson's little cheek.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis!" Xiang Qing's eldest son and daughter-in-law came over to greet Lin Cunde!
"Thank you. What's the relationship between me and your father? It's a good idea to listen to your father's words, read more military books and practice martial arts, and also teach this child. In the future, you will be a knight and lead an army in battle. There is nothing wrong with exercising more. Yes, your father knows best what kind of war it is!" Lin Cunde said to Xiang Qing's eldest son with a smile.

"I would like to listen to the teachings of the Marquis!" Xiang Qing's eldest son quickly said with his hands in hand.

"Well, the jade pendant belongs to the palace and is registered. Keep it well and don't let Xiao Xiao steal it!" Lin Cunde said to Xiang Qing's eldest son.

"Ah, thank you, Lord Marquis!" Xiang Qing's eldest son quickly raised his hands and saluted again.

"Okay, let's go drink tea!" Lin Cunde said to Xiang Qing with a smile.

In Hangzhou City, everyone who has any respect at this moment knows that Lin Cunde just arrived in the morning, and in the afternoon he arrested more than 70% of the seventh-rank and above officials of Hangzhou Prefecture and Zhejiang Chief Envoy. Many counties no longer have county magistrates!

The key is that he was caught by Jie Fengyan, which shows that Lin Cunde doesn't understand the rules!
As for the restaurant where Lin Cunde was eating, his boss had also arrived. He was slumped in a chair and had eaten the Marquis's two thousand taels of silver in one meal. This was not that easy.
