Chapter 56 The first person among a hundred households
What is it like when dozens of people all claim that they are guilty!
Several households were stunned.
Qianhu Chen Ming was also stunned. He pointed at Zhu Ming and said, "What is this? Please summarize it for me!"
"Follow your orders!" Zhu Ming looked stern, pointed at Hu Chong's head on the ground with hatred, and said sternly: "Everything Jiang Baihu said is true. When Hu Chong was in power, he did everything possible to let us plunder people's wealth.
Turn it over to him again!"
"As a soldier of the Emperor, you know the consequences of doing such a thing. We will treat you as crazy and give you another chance to say it again!"
Baihu Kang Siqi's face was gloomy, his eyes looked like he wanted to kill someone, and he stared at Zhu Ming who exposed Hu Chong.
"One person does the work and the other takes responsibility. I, Zhu Ming, plead guilty!"
After saying this, Zhu Ming knelt down and couldn't get up.
Immediately afterwards, all Xiaoqi knelt down and took out their own account books and placed them in front of them. They were all records of bribery to Hu Chong.
"I, Chen Qiang, plead guilty!"
"I, Wang Qi, plead guilty!"
......
The scene was so horrifying that even Chen Ming, who once served as the envoy of Fusi Town in Nanzhen, had never heard of such a thing happening.
All Xiaoqi from Baihu Institute are claiming that they are guilty!
Is the guilty one still Xiaoqi from Baihusuo?
Chen Ming did not speak, his palms were trembling under the table, and his eyes glanced at Baihu Kang Siqi, who was also extremely horrified.
"Are you... crazy?"
Kang Siqi's fingers were trembling, and he pointed at the kneeling flag one by one, "No kneeling! Get up!"
However, no one listened to his orders.
There is only one hundred households in their hearts, and that is Jiang Lan!
Suddenly, Zhu Ming, who had been kneeling, stood up, making Kang Siqi very happy: "Everything you said is false, right? Is this what Jiang Lan forced you to say?"
But Zhu Ming didn't even look at him. Instead, he walked towards the dozens of kneeling flags, collected the account books in their hands one by one, handed them to Qianhu Chen Ming's table, and took out a heavy copy from his arms.
Submit the ledger.
This is the Hu family's account book, and every bribe paid by his subordinates is clearly recorded.
"If Jiang Baihu hadn't taken office, we would still have suffered greatly from Hu Chongqi. I hope you will take notice!"
Zhu Ming knelt down and bowed deeply to Chen Ming.
Chen Ming did not open the account book. He was afraid that his hands could not control their shaking, so he had to lower his voice and said:
"Okay, you go down."
Zhu Ming stood up, passed by Baihu Kang Siqi, and said in an extremely small voice: "Are you worthy to fight Master Jiang?"
"Wait for me!" Kang Siqi's face turned red with anger, but he had no choice but to say harsh words and sit down angrily.
Seeing the leader Kang Siqidu sit down, several other households also sat down one after another.
Tell others silently and through actions their failures.
Chen Ming took a few glances at Hu Chong's account book, and the records were extremely detailed. He even added Hu Chong's psychological activities and comments about the briber, which was completely beyond doubt.
"With all the personal and material evidence, Jiang Baihu's move can be said to be to eliminate harm for the people, and he did not fear authority to kill Hu Chong. Having this hero is truly a blessing to our thousands of households!"
"As for you, you were also forced by Hu Chong. Although you made a mistake, today can be regarded as a meritorious service, so I won't punish you and forget about the reward!"
When they heard that Chen Ming was willing to let them go, Xiaoqi said ecstatically: "Thank you, Mr. Chen!"
The sounds of dozens of small flags were superimposed, echoing continuously in the lobby of the Qianhusuo, like thunder.
Except for the seven hundred households sitting there, everyone had a satisfied smile on their face.
These hundreds of households only thought they were noisy.
In Chen Ming's heart, his evaluation of Jiang Lan has risen to a new level, and he can't help but sigh at the wonder of Jiang Lan's move.
Anyone else would never have been able to conquer all of Hu Chong’s former subordinates on the first day he took office.
Because Hu Chong has bound everyone in Baihusuo to himself through extortion.
If you want to expose Hu Chong, you will inevitably expose your behavior of plundering people's wealth from the people.
Besides Jiang Lan, who can make everyone in Baihu Institute willingly confess their mistakes in front of Qianhu!
Of course, this is mainly because Chen Ming has never seen Jiang Lan's methods.
Otherwise, how could he just admire him in his heart!
On the first day Jiang Lan came to Baihusuo, he tied up all the general banners and Xiaoqi who did not want to see him, and replaced them with others. Who would have such courage!
After that, various valuable elixirs were rewarded. Regardless of status, as long as they were willing to expose Hu Chong's actions and were loyal to Jiang Lan, they could receive them. If it were anyone else, who would be willing to reward them!

After getting the evidence of Hu Chong's crime, he directly beheaded Hu Chong, who was once a member of a hundred households, and led troops to ransack his house. If it were someone else, even if he was given a knife to Hu Chong's neck, he would not dare to do it. Who would
To be able to kill so decisively!
"Huh..."
After taking a long breath and calming down, Chen Ming looked at Jiang Lan with a smile: "Jiang Baihu eliminated the scum of our company today and corrected our ethos. He copied out 30,000 taels of silver and countless stolen goods. It is a great achievement."
Pieces!"
"For two outstanding achievements in one day, there has never been such a heroic figure in the history of Jinyiwei. I have ordered a reward of one thousand taels of silver from hundreds of households in the river!"
Chen Ming made an immediate decision and was very sure of Jiang Lan's achievements.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen!" Jiang Lan nodded slightly, and then said: "Many Xiaoqi brothers worked tirelessly to ransack their homes today. I will reward these one thousand taels of silver to all Xiaoqi brothers!"
"Lord Xie Jiang!"
The kneeling flags all had red eyes.
They have never seen such an official.
There is also a saying among the people that if you are not an official for money and power, then what else do you want to be?
After all, not everyone is an upright official like Hai Rui.
Now they have seen it.
Likewise, Chen Ming also had some appreciation in his eyes.
Of course, he is not the kind of honest official who cares little about fame and fortune.
It's just that what he did can at least be said to be worthy of the court and the emperor.
He was once the governor of Nanzhen Fusi, but because he was unwilling to bow to the eunuchs, he was transferred to North Town Fusi to serve as a thousand households.
The Jiang Lan in front of him made him feel like he had a shadow of himself, yet he was even more brilliant than himself.
After experiencing several shocks in one day, Chen Ming also felt a little tired. He waved his hand and said to Jiang Lan and others:
"Okay, I will write another memorial today and give it to the Chief Assistant to urge you to be promoted to Deputy Qianhu. If there is nothing else, you can go down."
"You've been troubled by searching the house today. After you go back, you can cultivate yourself well, but don't miss today's dinner."
...
After all the people in the hall had retreated, Chen Ming relaxed his tense face and stared at the direction Jiang Lan was leaving, his heart still unable to calm down.
"Your Excellency, are you thinking about Jiang Baihu?" The spy walked out from behind the screen and asked Chen Ming while patting his shoulders.
"This person really surprised me. I originally wanted to protect him by force as a member of this Qianhu family."
"I didn't expect that he would be able to recover all of Hu Chong's men and stage this wonderful show of asking for forgiveness!"
"Absolute, absolutely amazing, this person is really the number one person among a hundred households!"
