Zhu Youjian handed some copies to Lin Qingzheng and said, "Lin Aiqing, take a look."
Lin Qing was in the Supervisory Yuan, so he naturally knew the tactics to impeach him, not to mention Lin Jing, who was in the scandal of the internal affairs department.
After taking it and looking at it for a few times, Lin Qingzheng raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, these impeachments are all trying to incriminate me. I don't know them."
It stands to reason that at this time, one should admit guilt and panic.
Zhu Youjian was in a daze for a moment, then nodded with a smile and said: "Lin Aiqing, don't be nervous, I don't believe it either. Tell me what you found."
Lin Qingzheng was ready. He took out a copy from his arms and handed it to Zhu Youjian, saying: "Your Majesty, this is the account book of Duke Wei's Mansion that I raided. Please take a look."
An internal supervisor came over and handed it to Zhu Youjian.
Zhu Youjian took it and opened it. It didn't take long for his smiling face to change. He was as gloomy as ink, and his eyes were shining with fire.
For a long time, Zhu Youjian breathed rapidly and was furious. "Are these all true?" Lin Qingzheng's account books and the wealth of Duke Wei's mansion totaled more than 12 million silver, which was several times richer than the Ming Dynasty's treasury! These are just
Initial raid. If relevant people continue to raid, it may be doubled!
Lin Qingzheng said: "When I return to His Majesty, there is no doubt that it has been registered. I will report to Your Majesty when everything is counted."
Zhu Youjian looked at Lin Qingzheng and remembered Wei Zhongxian's "ancestral hall", which was full of ancestral halls from the Ming Dynasty. The buildings built ranged from tens of thousands of taels to hundreds of thousands of taels. The more than 10 million in front of him didn't seem that big.
Surprising!
If you are not surprised, you will be even more angry.
The silly smile on Zhu Youjian's right hand is fierce and terrifying, as if he wants to eat people.
It was the first time that Lin Qing saw Zhu Youjian's expression. His mind jumped, his vigilance increased, and he quickly lowered his head.
For a long time, Zhu Youjian raised his head, looked at Lin Qingzheng coldly and asked: "What is the result of the interrogation?"
Lin Qingzheng said: "There are many interrogators and they involve too many people. Some things are difficult to verify. I am still sorting them out. Once sorted out, I will report to His Majesty immediately."
Zhu Youjian smiled reluctantly, feeling more or less comfortable. Instead, he asked: "What do you think of the current situation?"
Lin Qingzheng thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
"Your Excellencies in the court." Zhu Youjian said, staring at Lin Qingzheng.
In fact, Liujiu Temple, the cabinet ministers of the Internal Affairs Bureau, and the important officials of the Internal Affairs Bureau, except for one Zhang Guanzhi, are Zhu Youjian's people, and the rest are not. Even Qian Zhoujun, the censor who left Tianqi to leave for Zhu Youjian's Supervisory Authority, now has a gangster attitude.
Zhu Youjian was very dissatisfied with how much responsibility he had for the affairs assigned by Zhu Youjian.
Lin Qingzheng said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, I have been in a low position for a long time and don't know much about the court. I might as well ask the officials of Tianqi's cabinet."
Zhu Youjian was very satisfied with Lin Qingzheng's answer and smiled: "Well, I know. Lin Aiqing, tell me. If anything happens, I will support you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I am retired." Lin Qingzheng raised his hand as usual.
When Lin Qingzheng left, Zhu Youjian was in a good mood. He picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. He thought to himself, "Send Tao Silu and Nie Mao to see me."
Zhu Youjian had no one else, so the cabinet officials who were forced into office by the eunuchs during the Tianqi period could use them.
"Yes." An internal supervisor agreed.
Lin Qingzheng left the Qianshou Palace with the same pace as before, with a calm expression, but in front of him was the expression of Zhu Youjian who had just chosen someone but was terrified.
Lin Qingzheng had met Wanli, Guangzong, and Tianqi. These people would also be angry and want to silence them, but they had never had such chilling expressions.
Qianshou Palace, a remote, dark room.
Zhang Da was detained here for many days and was very embarrassed and unkempt.
He looked at Zhang Cheng in front of him fiercely and said, "If I die, neither you nor Lin Jing will think clearly. I will bury you together!"
For such a long time, he has known that the new emperor hates him and that Lin Qingzheng is investigating the "Wei Zhongxian case". If this continues, he will die sooner or later!
Before Zhang Cheng, he was Zhang Da's follower and half of his apprentice. He was timid and cowardly. After listening to Zhang Da's threats, he knew that if Zhang Da bit him randomly, he and Lin Jing would be unlucky and he would die. That kind!
"What do you want?" Zhang Cheng grinded the track. He is now a eunuch near the emperor and has a bright future. He is unwilling to give up just like this.
Zhang Da sneered: "I want to live and I want to get rich!"
Zhang Cheng's eyes flashed with murderous intent and he immediately said: "I will find a way, don't talk nonsense."
Zhang Da stared at Zhang Cheng's face and said: "I won't talk nonsense until the end, but if you play tricks, I have a way to send what I want to say to the emperor's case!"
Zhang Cheng took a deep breath, glanced at Zhang Da coldly, turned and left.
After leaving the door, he didn't dare to say anything and left quickly.
On the way, he caught a glimpse of no one around, so he whispered to himself: "We must discuss with Lin Jing'an. He must have a way to deal with Zhang Da!"
Ming Dynasty
In the evening, Lin Jing came out of the palace and was blocked in an alley not long after leaving.
It is only a few dozen steps away from the Forbidden City and is a branch of Chang'an Street.
Lin Jing never imagined that he would be trapped in a place like this in broad daylight!
Cui Chengli stood opposite Lin Jing with a fierce look on her face, while Lin Jing was surrounded by four young and strong men who looked like desperadoes, holding short knives and staring at Lin Jing like tigers and leopards, showing murderous intent!
Lin Jing looked at Cui Chengli, sighed and said, "I still underestimated you."
Cui Chengli showed no complacency, and said with a fierce look on her face: "My surname is Lin, either you promise me today, or we will die together!"
Lin Jing looked at the four desperadoes and said: "If you kill the court officials in broad daylight, your Cui family will have to chop down their entire house."
Cui Chengli's face became firmer and she said: "Of course I know, but if you don't agree to me, my Cui family will be overcrowded. It's better to die!"
Lin Jing blinked, this Cui Chengli was smart at this time.
Cui Chengli looked at Lin Jing and said: "I will give you 10,000 acres of fertile land, houses and shops. The total amount of silver is 400,000 silver. Either you promise me, or we die together!"
Lin Jing estimated the Cui family's property. This, even more than one-third, was considered Cui Chengli's hemorrhage.
Lin Jing pretended to think deeply for a long time and said: "How can I believe that you will not take revenge in the future? I am not your opponent to relax."
Cui Chengli apparently had a draft a long time ago, which said: "We signed the agreement. If anyone regrets it in the future, they will die together, together!"
