Ming Dynasty: A mere unruly commoner is rebelling against the heaven?

Chapter 32 How could he be so rampant?

After Huai En, Mou Bin and Wang Zhi left the imperial study, they each returned to their own nests.

As soon as Mou Bin stepped into the gate of the Northern Pacification Office, he gave orders to the captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard beside him.

"Hurry up and write a letter, send it to Pingliang Prefecture as fast as you can, and hand it over to Zhuque and Xuanwu."

"Your Majesty has only given the Royal Guards five days. After five days, Your Majesty must see Qiu Yue's nine clans in the capital!"

"If there is any delay, I will punish you severely!"

"Yes, sir!"

The captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard received the order and immediately went to do as Mou Bin instructed.

A moment later, a rider rushed out from the Northern Pacification Office.

After leaving Beijing, he ran quickly towards Pingliang Prefecture.

The same thing happened at the Western Factory. As soon as Wang Zhi entered the gate of the Western Factory, he gave orders to the guards there.

"Eight hundred miles, hurry to Junzhou to inform the boss."

"Your Majesty has only given the West Factory five days. After five days, Ma Wensheng's family must appear in the capital!"

"If you dare delay for even a moment, I will personally investigate!"

The Western Factory guard trembled all over and immediately accepted the order: "Yes, Lord Governor!"

After a while, a rider also rushed out from the West Factory Office and galloped out of the city.

After leaving the capital, he headed all the way to Junzhou.

In the East Factory Yamen, there was no tense atmosphere like that of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the West Factory.

But the atmosphere in the East Factory was not relaxed, but rather solemn.

Huai En came to the East Factory Yamen, sat down, and then spoke: "Go, find Li Guang for our family."

"Yes."

Soon, Li Guang, sweating profusely and looking nervous, hurried over.

"Godfather, you're looking for me?"

Huai En looked at Li Guang's tired appearance and pointed to the seat next to him: "Sit down and talk."

"Thank you godfather."

After Li Guang sat down, Huai En began to ask: "How is your investigation going on with that matter?"

"The Imperial Hospital has already investigated thoroughly. Liu Wentai, the Left Court Judge of the Imperial Hospital, is the mastermind. Several imperial doctors and clerks are also involved."

"Where is Shi Qin, the director of the Imperial Hospital?"

"Shi Qin didn't find out anything, so I dare not jump to conclusion."

"Hmph!" Huai En sneered, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Whether he was involved or not, he will definitely be charged with failing to supervise and control his subordinates."

"This matter is so serious and so evil. Given the temperament of His Majesty, it will most likely not end well."

Li Guang didn't dare to say anything, Huai En asked again: "What about other investigations? Is there any progress?"

"some."

Li Guang took out a notebook from his arms and turned to the latest page.

"There are more than a dozen people involved in the Dali Temple."

"Dozens of people were also implicated in the Six Departments of Imperial Censors and the Metropolitan Censorate."

"The people most involved are from the Shangshu Province and the six ministries. There are hundreds of suspects alone..."

Huai En took a breath and his hands shook with anger.

"How can they be so rampant?!"

Li Guang remained silent.

Huai En slammed the table heavily: "This group of dog officials is rebellious!!!"

"Investigate! Keep investigating our house thoroughly!"

"Even if we find out about the Shangshu, we are not afraid. We still have a backbone."

"If it doesn't work, we'll go check it out ourselves!"

"Don't worry, as long as Your Majesty is here, the Ming Dynasty will never fall!"

"Yes, godfather."

Li Guang nodded and said, "Godfather, I'm afraid you will have to investigate these officials yourself."

As he spoke, Li Guang tore off a page from the notebook and handed it to Huai En.

Huai En took the paper and his eyebrows twitched constantly.

There were not many words on the letter, only eight names.

But each of these names is a senior official in the court.

The lowest ones were all senior officials of the fourth rank. After Huai Enmo memorized the names of these eight people, he burned the paper with an oil lamp.

"We know about this. You don't have to worry about these people. We will investigate it ourselves."

"Go ahead, keep investigating, and don't let anyone go."

"Yes."

After Li Guang left, Huai'en thought for a long time, and finally took the people from the East Factory back to the palace first.

Compared with the low-key East Factory, today's West Factory can be said to be extremely prosperous.

After Wang Zhi sent someone to deliver the letter, he quickly sent someone to call back the second in command, Qin Lu, and the third in command, Ji Sheng.

After a while, the two people who were investigating the case outside returned to the West Factory.

"I greet the factory supervisor!"

When the two men saw Wang Zhi, they immediately bowed to him.

Wang Zhi's face was as cold as iron. He glanced at the two of them and then gave the order.

"Your Majesty has issued an order that the Western Factory confiscate the property of the 176 retired officials investigated previously within five days."

"Second Officer, you lead a thousand men to search and confiscate the fifty officials you are responsible for investigating."

"Yes, Mr. Factory Supervisor!"

"Third Director, you will lead a thousand men to search and confiscate the fifty officials you are responsible for investigating."

"Yes, Mr. Factory Supervisor!"

"This governor will personally lead a thousand men to search and confiscate the remaining seventy-six officials."

"The deadline is five days. If you haven't finished copying by then, I will hold you accountable!"

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

"Go."

Wang Zhi waved his hand, and Qin Lu and Ji Sheng, who had been unable to contain themselves, gathered their men and rushed out of the West Factory office impatiently.

Wang Zhi then personally selected a thousand people and began to confiscate the properties and execute the 176 officials in the capital!

In an instant, the entire capital city was shrouded in a fog of despair.

The night is dark.

But tonight, no official in the capital dared to sleep.

Row after row of Western Factory guards held up torches, lighting up the capital as bright as day.

A large number of Western Factory men were going in and out of different houses, some taking out silver as collateral, some taking out people as collateral, and they were very busy all the time.

"Master Ji, please spare my son! He is still young and doesn't understand anything!"

Ji Sheng threw a punch, hitting the talkative person so hard that blood gushed out.

"Take them away! Don't let anyone go!"

"..."

"Master Qin, please, please spare me! I can give you everything, money, house, land, please give me a way out!"

Qin Lu slashed with his sword and cut off the tongue of the official who was begging for mercy on the spot.

"Stop making noise, take them all away!"

"..."

"Master Wang, why is it so? Why is it so?"

Wang stood in the courtyard, looking at the moonlight in silence.

But his pressure was so great that Ye Qi, the former Minister of Revenue, could not even utter a word of begging for mercy.

Hundreds of Western Factory guards walked past him and seized the gold, silver and other valuables in his house.

His wife, children and the elderly were crying together and were escorted out by the guards from the Western Factory.

Seeing this scene, Ye Qi sighed and walked out of the house with a dejected look on his face.

"Master Wang..."

Ye Qi turned around and asked: "Are you really not going to give me a chance to live?"

Wang Zhi did not move, his eyes slowly moved downwards: "Minister Ye, you chose this dead end by yourself."

Ye Qi's whole body trembled, and the last bit of light in his eyes dimmed.

He turned around and, like a walking corpse, followed the Western Factory guards to the Western Factory prison.

He took the initiative to go to the Xichang Prison instead of being escorted like others.

This is the last bit of dignity of Ye Qi, the former Minister of Revenue.
