"Wang Zhijian?"

Zhang Haogu looked at the information in his hand, and then narrowed his eyes slightly.

This information was investigated by Zhang Haogu's political officers. It said that Wang Zhijian, as the Minister of Household Affairs, accepted bribes from local officials.

To be precise, it was not a bribe from local officials, but a bribe from Shanxi.

It's a Shanxi merchant!

Wang Zhijian privately sold a large number of sweet potatoes to Shanxi merchants.

Nowadays, although Zhang Haogu is vigorously promoting sweet potatoes, generally speaking, these sweet potatoes are strictly controlled and are not allowed to be bought and sold privately, especially large-scale private sales.

Those on guard were also Jurchens.

Occasionally smuggling a piece or two of sweet potatoes is nothing to worry about. By the time the Jurchens cultivated large-scale sweet potatoes, it would not have been possible for decades.

Unless they are sold to Jurchens in large quantities.

This batch of sweet potatoes was originally going to be expanded to sweet potatoes in Beijing and Shandong. At the end of this year, the accounts will be reconciled at the Ministry of Household Affairs. During the large-scale promotion of sweet potatoes, Zhang Haogu had full control over the increase in sweet potatoes in each region.

recorded.

Now, bad debts and bad debts appeared for no reason. Now when the investigation was carried out, it was traced to Wang Zhijian's head.

This Wang Zhijian is also Zhang Haogu's confidant, but obviously he has not taken a step further. Instead, Zhang Ruitu has now become a cabinet bachelor, and this Wang Zhijian is also the Minister of Household Affairs.

Corruption also started, especially that this strategic material was actually sold to the Jurchens. In addition...

Wang Zhijian even acquired a large amount of land and hid it to evade the New Deal taxes. These things were also clearly investigated by the government officials.

However, just when Zhang Haogu was almost finished investigating, Wang Zhijian disappeared.

I didn't come to the Household Department for duty today.

Zhang Haogu narrowed his eyes, but there was a bad feeling in his heart.

This Wang Zhijian is somewhat holding his own. If he really exposes his fraud in the imperial examination, it will be enough for Zhang Haogu to make him irrecoverable.

Although the Dog Emperor has a good relationship with him now, if the Dog Emperor knew that he was cheating in the imperial examination, how would he view himself?

The most urgent task is to find Wang Zhijian as soon as possible.

"What if we can't find Wang Zhijian, or in other words, Wang Zhijian strikes first to gain advantage?" Zhang Haogu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

calm down!

Zhang Haogu repeatedly warned himself to stay calm, and then he quickly called Zhang An, who quickly went to find Wei Zhongxian.

At noon, Zhang Haogu quickly got the news, and Eunuch Wei invited him to come over and talk.

When Zhang Haogu came over, there were two people present, one was Jin Yiweike Guangxian and the other was Zhang Ruitu. At this moment, the faces of the three people were not so good-looking.

Is the imperial examination fraud about to be exposed?

The three of them can't escape any relationship. Ke Guangxian was responsible for protecting the famous invitation given by Eunuch Wei and the examination paper written by Zhang Ruitu. Now among these people, Ke Guangxian may be the one with the least sin.

"Eunuch Wei, why are you so nervous!"

Zhang Haogu smiled, sat down calmly, and said with a smile: "But where is Wang Zhijian now?"

"At Han Xu's house!" Wei Zhongxian gritted his teeth, looked at Zhang Haogu and said, "Brother, fortunately you discovered it early. Now, the Donglin Party may have known our secret!"

Having said this, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said: "This bastard actually dares to betray you, brother!"

What should we do now?

Zhang Ruitu said anxiously: "What if the emperor knows about it?"

"My father-in-law and prime minister, in my humble opinion, it is better to rush in, arrest Wang Zhijian directly, and then cut his body into pieces with knives, directly eradicating this scourge!" Ke Guang on the side said quickly: "As long as he shuts up.

, nothing can threaten us!"

"This is a solution!" Wei Zhongxian nodded fiercely.

"I'm afraid it won't work!"

Zhang Haogu shook his head and said quickly: "If I were Han Xu and arrested this Wang Zhijian, the first step would be to ask him to write a confession. At this time, it doesn't matter whether Wang Zhijian is dead or alive, as long as he lets

The emperor believes that I have cheated in the imperial examination. As long as the emperor investigates thoroughly, we will kill Wang Zhijian, which will make it appear that we are trying to cover up!"

Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but frowned, and Zhang Ruitu said on the side: "Xiang Zhang, look, what should we do?"

"The crux of the problem actually lies with the emperor!" Zhang Haogu smiled and continued: "I think everyone, please be patient. A mere Wang Zhijian will not scare you like this. Even if he is

So what if it falls into the hands of the Donglin Party?"

Having said this, Zhang Haogu said calmly: "Who do you think leaked the examination questions to us?"

A group of people suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

yes!

Seriously speaking, during Zhang Haogu's palace exam, who leaked the test questions to him, wasn't it the Dog Emperor Zhu Youxiao?

This dog emperor is also a conspirator among them.

In fact, a group of people doubted whether Zhang Haogu had known the Dog Emperor Zhu Youxiao for a long time.

At that moment, Wei Zhongxian said: "In that case, brother, we don't need to worry about anything. As long as the emperor is on our side, the Donglin Party has nothing to worry about!"

"That's not entirely true!"

Zhang Haogu slowly said: "If this matter gets too big, and it is publicized among the entire officialdom and the gentry that I am the number one scholar in exchange for cheating in the imperial examination, I am afraid that the emperor will also be disgraced!"

Wei Zhongxian said: "That's what you mean, brother!"

Zhang Haogu looked at Wei Zhongxian and said, "Brother, how was the investigation into Wang Huazhen's case?"

Wei Zhongxian immediately smiled and said: "Brother, I have already found out that there are a lot of tricks in this!"

Zhang Haogu nodded: "Compile the information and give it to Han Lin. Let him go to court tomorrow to make the first move and expose this matter. The battle of Guangning was a major confrontation. In this battle, the Ming army

In a great defeat, Wang Huazhen and Xiong Tingbi retreated from Baoshan Pass. The imperial court lost 140,000 troops and all the land in western Liaoning. This Wang Huazhen was Ye Xianggao's disciple. The Donglin Party worked from top to bottom, and no one knew how much money they had embezzled from top to bottom.

This thing sets it off!!”

Speaking of this, Zhang Haogu suddenly clenched his fists, and his eyes exuded a bit of ferocity: "If you want to cover up one thing, use another bigger thing to cover up the past. This time, we are going to give the Donglin Party
