Chapter 925 Dying Struggle

Zhao Guanjia said: "Lu Zai."

Lu Zai came out and said, "I'm here!"

"What do you think?"

The atmosphere has become so hyped that it seems unjustifiable not to investigate.

Lu Zai said: "Since the court has rules, it is natural to follow the rules of the court."

Anyway, I, Lu Zai, only have one house in Tokyo. My hometown is in Shanyin, Yuezhou, Liangzhe Road. My big house is in Yuezhou, and now the New Deal in Fucheng is only in Sijing.

"Since you all think this is the case, then let's do it."

Zhao Guanjia seemed to be reluctant to say it.

After speaking, he turned around and left the court without giving these people a chance to continue talking.

Everyone had no choice but to say: "Best farewell to Your Majesty."

After the crowd left Chui Gong Hall, Wang Zongliu looked at Gao Qiu and joked: "Captain Gao is righteous!"

Gao Qiu had a bright smile on his face, but the smile obviously twitched a few times. Without saying anything, Gao Qiu left quickly.

Gao Qiu belonged to the military attache system and was not under the control of any yamen such as Dongfu or Xifu. The only one who could manage him was the Zhao Guan family.

Gao Qiu sent someone early in the morning to tell the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs that he was not feeling well today and wanted to take a day off.

As for why Taiwei Gao suddenly felt unwell and asked for leave, everyone knew it.

Gao Qiu rushed back and called his two sons.

"Go quickly! Except for the house we live in now, everything else will be sold immediately!"

Gao Yaokang was surprised and said: "Dad, why do you want to sell your house suddenly?"

Gao Qiu walked around in the lobby and said angrily: "To save my life! Hurry! Sell it today, and you can get a good price!"

Gao Yaofu was keenly aware that something was wrong, and he said, "Dad, is it possible that the court's new land sales policy is irreversible?"

"Yes! Not only that, the imperial court is going to start checking the number of properties owned by Beijing officials in Beijing!"

"Yes, yes! Let's deal with it now!" Gao Yaokang said quickly, "Dad had the foresight to contact the buyer some time ago!"

Gao Qiu sat down and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Of course Gao Qiu is unwilling to sell his house. The court prints money. The rent of houses in Tokyo will only get higher and higher, and housing prices will rise again.

But now it’s important to save your life!

Gao Qiu did a lot of things that offended people. If it weren't for Zhao Guan's family, he would have died a hundred times.

Now Zhao Guan's family wants to collect money, and he has to cooperate even if he grits his teeth.

Besides, selling now is also a stop loss.

Fortunately, Gao Qiu had sensed something was wrong some time ago and had contacted the buyer privately. He would not sell it if the court's thunder was loud and the rain was small.

But as soon as the rumors are wrong, sell it immediately.

On that day, the Ministry of Revenue, Kaifeng Prefecture, Audit Yuan, and the three yamen jointly launched an investigation into the property issues of Tokyo City officials.

As soon as this news came out, it was the veteran relatives who were the first to get angry.

That is, the natal family of Zhao Ji, the natal family of Queen Zhu Lian, Concubine Shen De and others.

In addition, the descendants of the senior officials and ministers of the Shenzong Dynasty are also among them.

For example, the Han family and the Zheng family, as well as the Wang Gui family and the Sima Guang family.

Descendants of Sima Guang's brother Sima Dan.

The Sima brothers back then were diligent and thrifty, but this may not be the case for their descendants.

For example, Sima Dan's son, Sima Pu, the minister of the Ministry of War, became an official in Enyin and liked luxury very much.

Among the relatives, such as Empress Dowager Zheng and the natal family of Concubine Wei.

Concubine Wei's natal family is also Zhao Gou's maternal grandfather's family.

Zhao Gou has made countless contributions to the court over the years, and his favor is flourishing. Not only does Wei Taifei have face in the harem, but the Wei family also enjoys great fame in the capital.

By virtue of their identities as King Zhao Goukang, the Prefect of Kaifeng, and the Protector of Annan, the Wei family could take whatever resources they wanted, whether they were doing business in Tokyo or Yingtian Prefecture in Nanjing.

There are naturally a lot of these properties, not only in Tokyo, but also in Nanjing.

In the evening, Zheng Shen, the father of Empress Dowager Zheng, arrived at Zheng Xiunian's home.

Even though they both have the surname Zheng, they are not the same family.

Zheng Shen is the father of Empress Dowager Zheng, and brothers Zheng Xiunian and Zheng Yinian are the sons of Zheng Juzhong and the in-laws of Qin Hui.

Zheng Shen said: "What's going on?"

"Oh, it's hard to explain in one sentence!" Zheng Xiunian sighed and recounted what happened in court today.

Zheng Shen was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves on the spot and wanted to rush to Gao Qiu's mansion, push Gao Qiu to the ground and stomp on him with his feet!

"You are the Queen Mother's father. You can only go into the palace and tell the Queen Mother about this matter, and let the Queen Mother tell the officials." Zheng Xiunian said.

"Well, you don't know the current situation. Ever since King Yun was stabbed to death, the harem has been frightened. They live their own lives and never dare to interfere in the government affairs."

"Not even the Queen Mother?" Zheng Xiunian asked.

"The Emperor is under house arrest!"

"Then you can only go to Zhu Bocai, who is the father of the saint, and ask the saint to go to the official's house to get some advice."

"Mr. Qian is fine, too. The officials are very kind to Concubine Shu," Zheng Shen said.

"You don't understand, Qian Yuqing only has a mansion."

"He only has one mansion per governor?" Zheng Shen asked in surprise.

"I made a special trip to inquire about it."

"Okay, now I will send someone to find Han Cheng, and then I will send someone to find Wang Dan. Wang Dan is the cousin of Qin Xianggong's wife, and Wei Anli, the grandfather of King Kang!" Zheng Shen said, "Let's unite and help the Ministry of Household Affairs.

People are putting pressure on me to see who dares to investigate!”

Zheng Xiunian said: "That's it!"

"Also, please ask someone to dig up dirt on Gao Qiu and Wang Zongliu and drive these two scourges away!"

"These two people should really get rid of them!"

"There are also people from the Ministry of Accounts and the Audit Institute. Send some money over there. If you dare not accept it, we will get it with them!"

Zheng Shen said: "Will the officials be furious when the time comes?"

Zheng Xiunian said: "You don't know something. The officials didn't even think of investigating. It was all the suggestions of treacherous ministers like Zhang Jiucheng, Mo Qiu, and Gao Qiu!"

"It's Zhang Jiucheng again!" Zheng Shen snorted coldly, "This man really likes to meddle in other people's business! He doesn't know how high the world is!"

Zheng Shen glanced at Zheng Xiunian again and said, "So, this property inventory is not the official intention?"

"It was these people who incited it!"

"That's easy to handle. The officials don't even think of investigating, so we'll just fight them a few times!"

That night, a group of relatives gathered together and began to discuss the matter.

After all, this involves a huge amount of property, who is willing to let it go easily?

At noon on November 14, these people sent out to investigate Gao Qiu came back.

"What! You said Gao Qiu sold all the houses yesterday!" Zheng Xiunian and Han Cheng were both dumbfounded, "Did you make a mistake?"

"There is absolutely no mistake. We have gone through all of Gao Taiwei's house and it has changed hands. We also went to the Kaifeng government office to inquire and there is proof of the deed!"

"Where's Wang Zonglio?"

"Wang Taiwei has only one house."

"Looking for evidence of Gao Qiu's corruption!"
