At noon on November 17, Gao Qiu ran to Wende Hall.

"I see your Majesty."

"You're here." Zhao Ning said casually.

"I'm here to ask for my resignation."

"Um?"

"Since yesterday, there have been rumors in the capital that I have been corrupt and accepted bribes. I feel ashamed and have no face to face His Majesty again."

"Oh..." Zhao Ning said, "Didn't this rumor already exist?"

"Yesterday, for some reason, people in various yamen spread the news that I am a person of shame. They framed me like this, so I can only resign to prove my innocence." Gao Qiu said.

Any rumors will definitely reach Gao Qiu's ears first because he is in charge of the Imperial City Department.

Gao Qiu also knew who was talking behind this. He came to Zhao Guan's house to make progress by retreating.

I, Captain Gao, am corrupt?

Hey! You are really right. Captain Gao is not corrupt, so why is he corrupt?

Isn't this an open secret?

Use open secrets to mess with me!

Are you too naive?

Zhao Ning said: "Are you sure you want to resign?"

"Is this to prove your innocence?"

"Do you know what the consequences will be if you resign and lose your official position?" Zhao Ning looked at Gao Qiu with a smile.

"The consequences..." Gao Qiu was stunned for a moment and said, "I am stupid, but they humiliate me like this and even go to my door and write words like "treacherous minister". This is unbearable!"

"Please resign. I think you don't want to live anymore. I will allow you to resign now. If you can go home safely after resigning, I will give you the title of Grand Master." Zhao Ning wrote lightly, "But I'm afraid you are

No blessing to enjoy.”

What Zhao Guanjia means is that you, Gao Qiu, have offended everyone in the Song Dynasty, including the New Deal faction, the old faction, the clan, and relatives in recent years.

One day, they know that you are no longer in charge of the Imperial City Division, and you no longer even have an official position.

What will happen to them?

I'm afraid as soon as I leave the palace, turn to the alley in front, and walk a little further, there will be countless bricks flying towards me!

"Your Majesty's teachings are correct!" Gao Qiu took a deep breath.

You see, on the surface Gao Qiu seems to be grateful to the Zhao Guan family for reminding him, but in his heart he is glad that the rumors outside were not ordered by the Zhao Guan family.

This matter is a bit special for Gao Qiu.

After all, Gao Qiu is a real estate speculator, and this time Zhao Guan's family wants to get money from the real estate speculators.

Is Gao Qiu among them?

He couldn't tell for sure.

Rumors began to spread intensively yesterday, and Gao Qiu was not sure whether Zhao Guan's family had done this intentionally.

Now to test it out, he was sure it wasn't the case.

I couldn't help but feel relieved.

Even though our Captain Gao is chubby and looks like a greasy old man when he walks out, in terms of politics, he is as meticulous as dust.

"Tell me." Zhao Ning was more or less aware of Gao Qiu's little thoughts. He didn't expose it, but said smoothly, "What do you think about the property inventory?"

"Disaster!"

"What's so difficult?"

"Now that the new land sales policy has been finalized, house prices in the city will fall. They will definitely want to sell it quickly, and then go to buy land outside the city. If they move a little slower, they will sell the house."

"Who will sell it to, and who will buy it at this time?" Zhao Ning asked, "Will you Gao Taiwei buy a house at a high price now?"

Gao Qiu shook his head.

Now that the new city and new policies have been determined, housing prices in the city will definitely fall. Who will take action easily?

Everyone is waiting for it to continue falling!

This is the mentality of home buyers.

As for Gao Qiu's house, when Wang Zongliu of the imperial court first started selling land, Gao Qiu contacted the buyer and negotiated the price.

So Lieutenant Gao didn't have to worry at all.

Now those people who have multiple apartments in their hands are simply filled with gloom and gloom!

The only thing they can do now is to prevent the court from inspecting the property.

Because according to the rules, there cannot be a second house.

If it is found out, the result will be confiscation. If you are held responsible, you will have to bear the responsibility.

It can range from a fine to a serious penalty, ranging from loss of official position.

The loss would be huge.

So now those people are no longer opposing the New Deal, but are preventing the inspection.

They didn't know that the people who were looking at the house in their hands were not people from the Ministry of Revenue, nor from the Audit Institute, nor Gao Qiu, Wang Zongliu, and Zhang Jiucheng, but the Zhao Guan family.

That's all money!

Sell ​​the land and make a lot of money first, then do an inventory and make a lot more!

Raise another amount of the national debt.

Probably next year the official road will be greatly promoted, the expenses for building Yinshan Mountain and the expenses for conquering Xixia will be covered!

Zhao Ning: I never make money from poor people, I will make money from anyone who has money!

"Let the people from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Audit Court investigate. You can keep an eye on me secretly."

Gao Qiu said: "Your Majesty is unaware that Zhang Jue, the head of the Household Department, has been ill at home since yesterday and submitted his resignation to the Staff Department early this morning."

"Why did he resign?"

"He is the household official responsible for this investigation."

"Oh, there is such a thing."

"Li Fang from the Audit Institute also reported being ill at home. I heard he was very ill."

"Kaifeng Prefecture official Lu Jing had an urgent matter in his hometown and took leave. They are all officials involved in the property inventory this time." Gao Qiu said.

Zhao Ning immediately realized that the fish were beginning to resist.

People like Zheng Xiunian and Han Cheng have big trees and deep roots, and they have more relatives and multiple houses.

It seems that officials from the Ministry of Revenue, Kaifeng Prefecture and the Audit Institute are afraid to investigate.

Let the Su Provincial People's Government investigate and cross the border.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing that is very important."

"What's up?"

"On his way home from the Yamen last night, Zhang Jiucheng was intercepted by a group of desperadoes and almost died. Fortunately, the Yamen arrived in time."

"What did you say!" Zhao Ning's expression immediately changed.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. This is true, but Zhang Jiucheng is a relatively upright person and has not made any public announcements to cause unnecessary misunderstandings!"

"You can investigate this matter for me! Find out who sent you to do it!"

"Your Majesty, they are all desperadoes, I'm afraid..."

"I asked you to take charge of the Imperial City Division for nine years. Don't you know who has desperadoes under his command in Tokyo City?"

"Yes, yes! I will go check it out right now!"

"Let me investigate carefully. I want to see who dares to pay to murder the imperial official! He is too courageous!"

In the Luoyang case, when Qin Hui was attacked at the gate of the Qin Mansion, it was because of those young people who were ignorant of the world and their minds were full of shit.

But now, someone is behind the murder, which is a completely different nature.

Purchasing the murder of a court official would only happen when the imperial power collapsed.

For example, Wu Yuanheng, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, was killed.

For example, during the Southern Ming Dynasty, Shi Kefa went to meet with the generals of the four towns in Jiangbei and was monitored and controlled.

This all happened because the authority of the imperial court collapsed.

People like Zhao Ning turned a blind eye to officials talking nonsense, but he still encouraged officials to talk to scholars.

As long as you don't talk nonsense, it doesn't matter whether you are right or wrong.

But he would never tolerate anyone threatening the authority of the imperial court, which was the foundation for governing the world.

If the authority of the imperial court is adjusted, more people will inevitably have different ideas.

The collapse begins here.
Chapter completed!
