Chapter 999

Not long after, Liu Xingzuo and Wang Chengen arrived in front of the imperial court together. After the salute, Emperor Chongzhen changed the two memorials and asked his servants to pass them on to them, saying: "The reform of the military system of the guard is of great importance. I will not allow any Any mistakes! This is just the beginning, there are many people who came to the capital's military department and official department to run away as officials, either wanting to continue hereditary military positions, or wanting to change to the Yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. They don't want to be selected according to the regulations, but instead do these crooked things! This trend must not grow, it must be suppressed at the beginning of the reform of the guard's military system!"

Hearing these words, the two giants glanced at each other, they both understood that the emperor was going to use their sword, and they were vaguely excited.

Sure enough, Emperor Chongzhen heard him say next: "The evidence is convincing that these people, officials under the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials, directly ransacked their homes, exiled and naturalized. Those who gave bribes will cancel their current grades and abolish them as common people. In addition to confiscating the bribe money, another ten times the bribe money will be fined, and those who are insolvent will be exiled to Taiwan County."

Whether it is Guihua City in the north or the newly established Taiwan County in the south, a large number of educated Han people are needed to enrich it.Officials who have been convicted are the best source of manpower.For this kind of crime, it is better to squeeze their surplus value than to kill them!
"The last general (servant) obeys the order!" Liu Xingzuo and Wang Chengen responded almost in unison after hearing this.

This kind of official running is actually the most common thing, and everyone knows it.But this matter has not reached the clear price tag in the Qing Dynasty, and it is mostly carried out in secret. After all, it is something that cannot be put on the table.Moreover, running an official is not only about bribery with money, but also includes various needs of people.As long as the officials in charge of personnel are satisfied, they can operate to the official position they want.

It is difficult to check some running officials, but the easiest way to check is to bribe them with money.Emperor Chongzhen also knew that there was no way to fundamentally eliminate the running of officials.But he didn't mind. He waved the butcher's knife of the factory guard and caught those who were easy to get evidence first.

For this kind of case, to be honest, using factory guards is actually killing a chicken with a sledgehammer.After all, factory guards usually handle imperial cases, involving major cases, such as treason, endangering the country, and so on.The meaning of using the factory guards this time is also to show his attitude, that is to punish severely!

As soon as this decree came out, the two yamen, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War, became lively.A large number of Jinyiwei and Dongchang fan servants drove over, surrounded the two yamen, and began to arrest people in a majestic manner.

This factory guard sent out to arrest people, which is actually rare in the capital.In fact, in the past few years, it has only been one time, and it is about the case of Shanxi merchants.That case involved so much and had such a profound impact that it was still fresh in the memory of everyone in the capital.At that time, not only wealthy Shanxi merchants were arrested, but even high-ranking officials such as Guiwei Cabinet Assistant Minister and Zuodu Yushi were also arrested.And not only the capital, but also the local officials, that is, the officials in Shanxi, who did not know how many were arrested, and it lasted for a long time.

Today's factory guards arrested people again, which immediately ignited the topic in the streets and alleys of the capital.Among the teahouses and restaurants, most of the discussions were about the arrest of the prisoners by the factory guards, and the reform of the military system of the guards was mentioned incidentally.

"Hehe, the corruption in our Daming officialdom has lasted for more than a day or two. Now those officials are blatantly running under the eyes of the emperor to do this. It should have been cured a long time ago!"

"The emperor actually decided this matter as an imperial case, and asked the factory guards to arrest people. It seems that he is very angry!"

"That's for sure. The reform of the military system of the guards is being carried out together with the reform of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. These two reforms are related to our Daming's army. The emperor must be very concerned about the two systems of supervision. Whoever If you want to play tricks on these two things, it will shake the foundation of the country, can the emperor agree?"

"..."

Every time a new policy was announced, a policy that benefited the country and the people, the Emperor Chongzhen would visit teahouses and restaurants in the capital in private. Listening to these remarks from the people, he was able to quickly harvest a wave of achievement points.This time is no exception, and the achievement value has increased a lot.

On this day, when he was watching the achievement value in the lower left corner of the chat group soaring, suddenly the icon of Qianfugui was shaking, and a private chat was sent. After clicking on it, Emperor Chongzhen immediately became serious, even a little angry .

So, he immediately returned to the palace, and summoned Liu Xingzuo, the commander of Jinyiwei, and Wang Chengen, the admiral of Dongchang, again.

Liu Xingzuo and Wang Chengen were busy arresting people, when they came over suddenly, they thought that something they had done dissatisfied the emperor, so they came in a hurry, with a bit of panic on their faces.

Inside the Wenhua Palace, Emperor Chongzhen had a serious face, which made both of them think about apologizing first.

But before they could open their mouths, Emperor Chongzhen said solemnly: "The Liaodong Secret Report, the big traitor Fan Wencheng lurks in my Ming Dynasty and makes trouble!"

Speaking of this, he said with a bit of anger: "This Fan Wencheng has forgotten his ancestors and helped the tyrants to abuse him. I don't know how many people in Liaodong have suffered because of him. Do you remember the matter of Xinjin? How many bones of Liaodong people are there? He created it all by himself! This person is not Ling Chi, not enough to be angry with the common people, not enough to comfort the people who died in Liaodong, not enough to appease my anger. Qing and the two immediately dispatched elite soldiers and strong generals, holding Fan Wencheng's portrait, to arrest him secretly. To the capital!"

After the Xinjin incident, Fan Wencheng was already on the desk of their factory guard.They knew that the emperor had always hated traitors, especially this person, whoever caught this big traitor would definitely win the favor of the emperor.

However, without further information, it is not known whether Fan Wencheng smuggled to Daming by sea, or entered the pass from Mongolia by detour.There is a huge crowd, and it is indeed a bit difficult to catch him.

But the emperor has already spoken, no matter how difficult it is, it must be done, and it is best to arrest this criminal before the other party.

Thinking of this, Liu Xingzuo and Wang Chengen did not dare to neglect after the emperor had finished speaking, and immediately bowed to receive the order.

Suddenly, Jin Yiwei and Dongchang took action again, and Tiqi went to various places either in the open or in secret.Even the forces of the rivers and lakes have been mobilized.For example, the Ax Gang controlled by Wu Ergou also started a secret investigation within its sphere of influence.As the operation unfolded, Fan Wencheng's popularity soared again.

"Who is this person, and the reward offered is so high?"

"That's right, who the hell is this person? The most powerful Ax Gang in Jianghu actually issued a hunting order to capture this Fan Wencheng alive!"

"Didn't you hear that? It is said that the factory guards are also investigating this person secretly. There is no movement from the official government. In fact, my cousin who is the head arrester told me that they are also investigating secretly!"
