Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 308 Subverting Peng Shi’s cognition

Peng Shi was suspicious of Lin Cunde arresting people like this. He didn't know that Jin Yiwei had already collected evidence!

And Lin Cunde didn't want to explain too much. After Peng Shi saw the confession, he would naturally know it!

On the way to Ji'an from Zhejiang, more than a dozen carriages, escorted by Jin Yiwei and cavalry, entered the territory of Ji'an. However, they could not reach Ji'an City today and would not arrive until noon tomorrow. Right Minister Chen Zeli, as well as people from the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Personnel, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, are coming to Ji'an to assist Lin Cunde in investigating the case and implementing the New Deal.

Zhejiang now puts Wang Zhi in charge.

Wang Zhi doesn't want to save any disciples now. As more and more cases are tried, he wants to strangle those disciples. They don't do good things, but they do a lot of bad things. The methods of plundering people's wealth are unheard of. These make Wang Zhi I'm so angry!

Moreover, Wang Zhi has already given Zhu Qiyu two memorials, which describe how to evaluate those officials, and the evaluation must be strict!

These are all changes in Wang Zhi’s mentality!

Even Wang Zhi's old friends were surprised when they saw those memorials. They don't know why Wang Zhi is like this now. He obviously wants to help Zhu Qiyu fight corruption. The fight against corruption is to deal with his own people!

How could Wang Zhi deal with his own people? Chen Xun couldn't figure it out!

Lin Cunde sat there making tea, and asked his servants to clean up a room in the front yard for Peng Shi to live in. In the past few days, Lin Cunde hoped that Peng Shi could know more about what the disciples they protected were like. ?

"Come, drink tea, this memorial is the content of the New Deal, you can read it!" Lin Cunde said and handed the memorial to Peng Shi!

The New Deal still needs more people’s support!

Although everyone now supports the New Deal, Lin Cunde is still worried. When Chen Xun and others see that they are fighting corruption like this, will they oppose it next? After all, with so many people arrested, a province is estimated to have at least three to five hundred people!

And basically they want to ransack the house!

It would be bad if Chen Xunlai had to separate the implementation of the New Deal and anti-corruption!

Lin Cunde was afraid of this, afraid that Chen Xun and the ministers in the capital would do this!

At that time, all the ministers suggested this, forcing Zhu Qiyu to have no choice and trouble!

However, Lin Cunde believes that anyone who has seen the confessions of those officials will not support anti-corruption. Many officials are really looking for people's wealth and support!

Peng Shi read it very seriously. Halfway through, Peng Shi became a little excited. After finishing reading, Peng Shi stood up, raised his hands to Lin Cunde and said, "The new deal is indeed good. I support this!"

"Well, support it! Now the ministers in the court basically support it, but once they know that I am fighting corruption down below and arresting so many officials, huh, they will oppose it, or in other words, let anti-corruption and the New Deal Distinguish them!" Lin Cunde looked at Peng Shi and said with a sneer.

"This!" After hearing this, Peng Shi was stunned and did not dare to comment, because based on his observations in the past two years in the capital, such a thing is very possible!

"You also think this is possible, right? Do you know that in Zhejiang Province, I have arrested almost 60% of the officials in the province, and in our Jiangxi Province, it is probably even more!" Lin Cunde said while looking at Peng Shi with a smile.

Peng Shi couldn't help but widen his eyes, looked at Lin Cunde in disbelief and asked, "So many?"

"Well. There are just so many. There are so many corrupt officials, so naturally we have to arrest so many!" Lin Cunde still said with a smile, he was also very helpless, there was no way!

Peng Shi quickly fell into silence. He didn't know what to say to Lin Cunde.

"Tell me, what will Chen Xun do then?" Lin Cunde said and poured tea for Peng Shi!

Peng Shi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "How did I know this? After all, Mr. Chen Ge is an old minister in the court, and his disciples and former officials are all over the world. In this case, it is normal for Mr. Chen Ge to have any thoughts. However, he has arrested so many Officer, is it necessary? Is it really that serious?"

"Well, let's not discuss this matter for now. You will know after you read the confession tonight!" Lin Cunde didn't want to talk to Peng Shi about this, but wanted to wait until Peng Shi finished reading the confession.

"Yes, sir!" Peng Shi said with his hands raised to Lin Cunde.

Then Lin Cunde was chatting with Peng Shi!

At noon, Lin Cunde invited Peng Shi to have dinner with him in the mansion. Zhang Lirong originally wanted to invite Lin Cunde to dinner, but Lin Cunde sent someone to send a message to Zhang Lirong, telling him to focus on interrogation and that he would need to stay in Ji'an Mansion for a few days!

After Zhang Lirong learned about it, he went to the interrogation wholeheartedly!

In the afternoon, Lin Cunde went to see the completion of his new mansion. There were also officials from the Ministry of Industry here. When they learned that Lin Cunde was coming to inspect, they also came to see the gifts. Lin Cunde expressed his gratitude to them and gave each of them some gifts!

The foundation of the new mansion has not yet been completed, and the foundation of my parents’ temple has just been laid!

It is estimated that the construction is not good this year, and maybe it may not be completed next winter!

Lin Cunde inspected the construction site once and then returned!

At this moment, on Zhang Lirong's side, the more Zhang Lirong was interrogated, the more frightened and angry he became!

I have been here for almost a year, and they have done so many bad things without telling me!

Of course, they didn't become corrupt after they came here. It's just that they were completely unaware of the corrupt behaviors after they came here. They had never heard of those methods!

But although Zhang Lirong was angry, he still needed to continue the interrogation. Moreover, Jin Yiwei also assisted in the interrogation. Once the officials finished speaking and Jin Yiwei asked, those officials were so frightened that they could only continue to shake their hands!

Zhang Lirong is really helpless!

It was already very late after interrogating all these officials, but Zhang Lirong still sent the confessions to Lin Cunde's temporary residence. "Is the interrogation over?" Lin Cunde looked at Zhang Lirong and asked!

"Back to your lord, the preliminary interrogation is over. Many questions have been asked and many officials have been involved. What is this matter?" Zhang Lirong said and looked at Lin Cunde hesitantly.

Lin Cunde smiled and said: "No matter who is involved, we must investigate!"

After hearing this, Zhang Lirong nodded and said, "Hey, that will probably take a lot of investigation. Here is the confession, please take a look at it!"

"Yeah!" Lin Cunde nodded, and then said to Zhang Lirong: "You are also exhausted today, go and rest early!"

"Yes, sir!" Zhang Lirong said goodbye to Lin Cunde.

Then Lin Cunde looked at Peng Shi next to him, pointed at the confessions and said, "Look! I'll look at it tomorrow!"

"Is this appropriate?" Peng Shi hesitated for a moment and said to Lin Cunde.

Lin Cunde chuckled and said: "If there is anything inappropriate, you can look at it very well and you can also know what the officials below are like!"

"Yes, sir!" Peng Shi nodded.

Then he started taking those confessions and started looking at them.

Lin Cunde is gone! Those confessions are not only in Peng Shi's hands, Jin Yiwei will also keep a copy!

Therefore, Lin Cunde is not worried that Peng Shi will extract those confessions. Besides, Peng Shi does not have the courage. Once discovered, Peng Shi's life will be over!

When he got up the next morning, Lin Cunde continued to practice martial arts, while Peng Shi came out of his bedroom with dark circles under his eyes!

After Lin Cunde finished practicing martial arts, he led Peng Shi to the dining room for breakfast.

"Sir, eh, I can't imagine, I can't imagine, all the officials below have become like this!" Peng Si was sitting there facing Lin Cunde, shaking his head.

After hearing this, Lin Cunde smiled and motioned for him to eat first!

After finishing the meal, Lin Cunde led Peng Shi to the tea place. Peng Shi also handed the confession to Lin Cunde. Lin Cunde took it over and motioned to Peng Shi to make tea. He needed to take a look!

Peng Shi actually wanted to talk to Lin Cunde, but Lin Cunde wanted to see those confessions now!

By the time Lin Cunde finished reading, it was already two hours later and it was already noon!

Lin Cunde had just put down his confession, and before he had a sip of tea, Lin Cunzhen came in, raised his hands to Lin Cunde and said, "Master Hou, Xie Yonghe, the right minister of the Ministry of Justice, and Chen Zeli, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue, are here!"

"Oh! So fast!" As soon as Lin Cunde heard this, he stood up and walked outside, and Peng Shi followed immediately.

When they got outside, Peng Shi also found the two of them!

"Greetings to the Marquis!" The official who had just arrived from Zhejiang immediately saluted after seeing Lin Cunde.

"Quick, come in quickly, Sixth Brother, go notify the kitchen and ask them to prepare meals. At noon, I will treat everyone to dinner in the mansion!" Lin Cunde confessed to Lin Cunzhen.

Then he said to them: "Quick, please come inside. It's been a hard journey!"

"It's not hard, sir. You've only been back for a few days and you started investigating the case?" Chen Zeli asked Lin Cunde with a smile.

After hearing this, Lin Cunde smiled and waved his hands and said: "Hey, I don't want to check it either. I want to rest for a few days, but they come to bother me every day. I think they are disgusting, so I just won't rest. Check it. Anyway, this is close to home. I want to go back and live there, just for two days!”

"Yes!" Xie Yonghe nodded! "

Lin Cunde led them into the mansion and took them to the tea room to sit down. Just now, Peng Shi also greeted them. In terms of rank, Peng Shi was the fifth grade, which was different from the two of them. It was just that Peng Shi was lucky. , after passing the first prize in the examination, he was promoted every year and entered the cabinet, so he could get to know them!

"I have just read the confession. You will continue the interrogation in the afternoon. In addition, the Ji'an Mansion has also begun to implement a new policy. You go and implement it!" Lin Cunde said to them.

"Yes, sir, sir, in Zhejiang, the implementation of the New Deal went very smoothly, and the people supported it very much. Moreover, when the people learned about our New Deal, they all praised it!" Chen Zeli said, cupping his hands to Lin Cunde.

"That's good. The New Deal benefits the people, and they must know that our Ming Dynasty has only one kind of tax for people who farm, which is land tax. There is no need to pay for other things!" Lin Cunde nodded and reminded them. .

"Yes, it's so simple, and the people will remember it. Moreover, we have also told the people that if they collect more taxes, they can go to the higher authorities to sue the officials!" Xie Yonghe nodded to Lin Cunde.

"The problem of the Sentencing and Procuratorate Department is not a small one. The Metropolitan Procuratorate is responsible and has lost its supervisory responsibility!" Lin Cunde said with a frown. With so many officials corrupt, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and local Procuratorate are still responsible. It is the responsibility of the supervisory censor.
