Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 120 Catch Up

today!

Wang Wengui gasped, he finally remembered the imperial palace newspaper he had read two days ago.

Six Doors, a newly established department of the imperial court, is directly subordinate to the emperor, responsible only to the emperor, and specializes in investigating all illegal activities in the world.

Wang Mang knew from Wang Wengui's expression that he had remembered, so he said, "Remember?"

"I remember." Wang Wengui wiped off his cold sweat, and whispered, "Are you really the six doors?"

"It's not seven doors, nor eight doors, but six doors." Wang Mang sneered: "It seems that the palace newspaper issued by the imperial court is only a few days old, Mr. Wang is really good at remembering!"

"I just didn't know the status of the official, so I offended you. Please forgive me." Wang Wengui calmed down and said: "I still have some matters to deal with. If there is nothing wrong, I will leave!"

Wang Mang looked at Wang Wengui with a smile that was not a smile, and said, "I really have something to do. I don't know what Mr. Wang is doing here in Xinyang City if he is not staying in his yamen along the Weishui River?"

"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with Shangcha, right?" Wang Wengui said coldly. Although Wang Mang's identity made him a little afraid, he was a Hedao envoy and a member of Qinghe Wang's family. If he had no destiny, he would not be afraid of Wang Mang.

"Related." Unexpectedly, Wang Mang spat out two words with a calm expression.

Wang Wengui's face turned completely cold, and he cupped his hands and said, "I don't know what's the matter? If I remember correctly, this is the first time that I and the superior have met. I have nothing to do with the superior. I don't know what is the relationship?"

"This head arrester is ordered to investigate and deal with the embezzlement of river project funds by the Weishui River Yamen." Wang Mang said coldly, "I don't know if this has anything to do with Mr. Wang?"

Wang Wengui's pupils shrank, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan also looked at Wang Mang in surprise, and smiled wryly from the bottom of his heart. Now he would not be able to wash himself clean by jumping into the Wei River.

Wang Wengui turned his head to look at Wang Mang and said coldly, "Could the job be just a joke?"

"Who is joking with you?" Wang Mang snorted, and said: "This head arrester is on a mission, if you don't believe it, you can write to the Shangshutai, and someone will tell you about it."

"It's impossible, this matter is over." Wang Wengui said loudly: "Just the day before yesterday, the imperial court made it clear that the so-called corruption of project funds in the Weishui River River Yamen was purely false, and it was a false accusation by Cai Guohua, the county magistrate of Xiacai County. The imperial court has already made a conclusion, you must be falsely preaching the imperial decree!"

"Master Wang, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. Eating indiscriminately will cause diarrhea at most, and talking indiscriminately will kill you!" Wang Mang said leisurely: "I have heard some things, so I just pretend I didn't hear them. The head catcher sent you an order to ask you for questioning, Wang Wengui, the head catcher is asking you, is it true that the Ministry of Industry allocated 10 taels of project funds to the Weishui River Yamen to repair the river last year?"

"There is no decree, I refuse to answer!" Wang Wengui said coldly.

Wang Mang glanced at Wang Wengui, and continued: "I will ask you again, the Ministry of Industry allocated 10 taels of project funds to the Weishui River Yamen last year to repair the river channel. Is this true?"

"I still say the same thing, there is no imperial decree, and I refuse to answer!" Wang Wengui continued coldly.

"Wang Wengui, you have to think about it clearly. It is good for you to say something clearly. You know the policy of the imperial court. It has always been lenient for confession and strict for resistance." Wang Mang sneered: "I am asking you, Xia Cai Cai Guohua, the county magistrate, said that your river yamen asks for 10 taels of river money from the imperial court every year, but the total amount used to rest and renovate the Weishui River is less than 5 taels. It’s a huge amount of 10 taels, what’s your explanation for this matter?”

"There is no decree, I refuse to answer!" Wang Wengui said coldly: "I put the words here, as long as I don't see the decree, I refuse to answer any questions."

"Wang Wengui, be lenient when you confess, and strict when you resist. Don't think that you're fine if you don't speak up. Don't turn a small matter into a big one, and don't change from being light and quick to being serious and strict." Wang Mang said coldly.

"Hehe." Wang Wengui sneered, and said, "You and I are both court officials. The so-called confession is lenient, and resistance is strict. Let's just talk about it. In private, who doesn't know that confession will be lenient, and resistance will be strict. Yan goes home to celebrate the New Year, so let's not talk about some things in private."

After a pause, Wang Wengui said coldly: "If there is nothing else, I will leave first!"

"Lu Yuan!" Wang Mang said loudly.

"The next official is here." Lu Yuan responded, frowning.

"Lu Yuan, the chief arrester ordered you to temporarily put Wang Wengui in prison, and when the imperial edict arrives, Wang Wengui will be interrogated." Wang Mang said.

"My lord, isn't this against the rules?" Lu Yuan frowned. This is really a fight between gods and gods, and the little ghost suffered. Let him be a fifth-rank county magistrate and put a fourth-rank official into prison. This six-door catcher in front of him is really brave. !

"Do extraordinary things at extraordinary times, Lu Yuan, don't you want to resist the order?" Wang Mang said sullenly.

"I don't dare!" Lu Yuan shook his head hastily, pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands at Wang Mang and Wang Wengui, who was ashen-faced, and said, "My superior, Mr. Wang, why don't you do this? I will ask Mr. Wang to stay here for a few days. When the imperial decree arrives, we will act in accordance with the imperial decree."

Although what Lu Yuan said was a small residence, everyone knew that it was under house arrest. Wang Mang also knew that it was impossible for him to let Lu Yuan lock him up with a single sentence. Therefore, Wang Mang did not object to Lu Yuan's compromise.

But Wang Wengui, who was about to be placed under house arrest, was furious. He pointed at Lu Yuan and scolded, "Lu Yuan, how dare you disrespect the superior!"

"You were the one who disrespected His Majesty first!" Wang Mang said, "As an official of the imperial court, you don't pay attention to His Majesty's imperial edicts. It is disrespectful. Your crime is enough to punish nine clans."

"Hehe, I, Wang Wengui, was born in the Wang family of Qinghe, so I'm guilty, but you're kidding me?" Wang Wengui looked at Wang Mang disdainfully.

Wang Mang's eyes flashed, and he said, "Lu Yuan, don't do anything yet!"

"I'll see who dares to do it!" Wang Wengui shouted.

"If you don't do it again, you will be punished for disrespect!" Wang Mang looked at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan gritted his teeth, waved at the servants who had already surrounded the living room, and said, "Please rest in the West Wing, Mr. Wang."

"Lu Yuan, how dare you!" Wang Wengui roared angrily, and let the servants drag him away, and the servants brought by Wang Wengui were also invited out by the servants under Lu Yuan.

"Lu Yuan, who gave you such courage, you dare to put me under house arrest, you are looking for death! You wait for me, I will ask the Pingyao Lu family to give me an explanation..."

Lu Yuan listened to Wang Wengui's yelling and cursing from afar, smiled wryly, looked at Wang Mang and said, "You've made me suffer!"

"Master Lu, why didn't you say that I solved a big problem for you?" Wang Mang smiled.

Lu Yuan's expression changed, and then he smiled and said, "The business trip is really humorous!"

"Whether it's humorous or not, Mr. Lu knows better than me." Wang Mang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, there must be an imperial decree."

"I believe it!" Lu Yuan nodded, the person in front of him is the emperor's subordinate, it doesn't matter if it's true or not, it's not a matter of asking for an imperial decree.

"Okay, you two don't play charades with each other." Lu Yao played with the six door tokens Wang Mang threw on the table, and said impatiently: "Brother, I am here today because I need your help. "
