At the fifth watch, everyone who was detained in Anxiang Tower begged to be released. As soon as daybreak, there would be more people watching. By then, everyone would know about the trouble, and they would not be able to save their face. There were many officials among them, and they would soon
It's time to go to court. Being detained by the Yushitai in Anxiang Tower, there is no way to enter the palace to go to court. But not every official is as free as waiting for others. He can go when he wants, and take leave if he doesn't want to go. If he doesn't go to court without any reason, he has to go to court.
The most important thing for those who are punished is that they cannot afford to shame this person. When colleagues ask why they did not go to court, how do they respond? The prostitute was caught by the Yushitai?
He didn't embarrass everyone too much. His purpose was to correct the atmosphere while taking advantage of the opportunity to make money. He was not trying to destroy other people's jobs. If he gave a favor at this time, these officials would be grateful and let go of everything they could, but the corruption relief person
The household doctor who was responsible for the silver tael could not be released, so he sent someone to take him to the prison of Yushitai. A small household doctor actually embezzled 200,000 taels of silver taels to provide disaster relief. If he was pretending to be guilty of seeking wealth and killing, he must be severely punished.
.
After a busy night, I was tired, so I returned to the Yushitai with the policemen who were escorting the doctor from the household department, leaving Datou and others to lead a group of policemen to clean up the accounts and collect the stolen money.
Knowing the route Yang Kai took to court every day, he stopped Yang Kai halfway and asked him to report the matter to the court today. The previous investigation and prosecution of Anxiang Tower was under the banner of having an affair with the eunuch party. This reason is too far-fetched.
, let’s put it another way, let’s say that when I was in charge of the Household Department, I discovered that an official from the Household Department embezzled disaster relief money. After a thorough investigation, I found that a doctor from the Household Department had embezzled 200,000 taels and spent it all on Anxiang Tower. That’s why I led people.
The Anxiang Tower was sealed and the matter was thoroughly investigated.
Yang Kai kept his instructions in mind and went back to the Yushitai to rest in bed. Although he was tired, he was still in a good mood. Behind Anxiang Tower was the Jiaofang. Seizing the Anxiang Tower without any reason was the same as breaking the law.
Some of the income in the palace seems to be a bit unfavorable to the palace. It involves officials from the Ministry of Revenue embezzling disaster relief money. This is reasonable and reasonable. He is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Finding corruption among his subordinate officials shows that he is still very careful in managing the Ministry of Revenue.
Very seriously. Furthermore, disaster relief funds are directly related to people's livelihood. No matter how strict you are in dealing with matters related to people's livelihood, civil and military officials will not be able to slander and criticize them.
In addition, this is a large sum of money. With this money, the already emptied treasury will immediately have fresh water, and in the future, whether it is disaster relief or military supplies, everything will be provided.
In the end, Anxiang Tower was eliminated, a cancer that corrupted the culture and harmed the country and the people. The reason why I was able to seal it up was because I was in a high position. Putting aside my personal preferences, if I really wanted to do something for the common people,
To do things, you still have to be in a high position. The greater the power, the greater the ability. The greater the ability, the more things you can do and the more people you can save.
It was already noon when I woke up. Da Tou and Shi Xuanming had not come back yet. Yu Yi and Yang Kai were not at the Yushitai either. Unexpectedly, they all rushed to Anxiang Building to help. It was not easy to check the accounts and recover the stolen money.
Errands.

After getting up, I went to the lobby to deal with the official documents and official duties of the Yushitai. Recently, the Yushitai sent a large number of inspection envoys to local prefectures and counties. Most of the official documents were sent back by these inspection envoys, and most of them were about the performance of their duties.
, the territory of the Tang Dynasty was really too large, and the rectification of officialdom mainly targeted the local yamen, which was not something that could be done overnight.
After handling the official affairs of the Yushitai, he rode to the Ministry of Accounts. When he was rushing to the Ministry of Accounts, he happened to encounter the detectives of the Yushitai bringing back several bookkeepers who were called to Anxiang Tower to verify the accounts last night.
They were all very young, and after working hard all night and all morning, they all had dark circles under their eyes. However, the mood of several people was very high, because by the end of the afternoon, Datou and others had recovered more than 8 million taels of stolen silver.
At that time, Datou and others were busy sending the stolen money in the secret room of Anxiang Tower to the treasury.
He praised them a few words, gave each of them five taels of silver, and gave them three days' leave. Five taels seemed like a small amount, but in fact it was already a lot. The current seventh-grade magistrate's annual salary was only twenty-five taels of silver.
In this way, it can be seen how terrifying the speed of Anxiang Tower in making money is.
Arriving at the lobby of the Ministry of Household Affairs, many officials from the headquarters have been waiting for a long time. They already knew about the corruption of the doctor of the Ministry of Household Affairs in the early morning. The chief official of the Ministry of Household Affairs is the Minister, and the two deputies are the left and right ministers. Below the minister is the doctor. The doctor committed the crime.
As other doctors who are colleagues, as ministers to superiors, as chief registrars and miscellaneous officials as subordinates, no one can escape the relationship.
Those who take the initiative to confess and plead guilty, those who actively report and expose, have been busy with this matter all afternoon. They are well aware of the principle that when the water is clear, there will be no fish, and they do not delve too deeply into it. It is impossible for subordinate officials to be absolutely clean. As long as
Don't bother with the people's money for disaster relief. If you are less greedy, you can only turn a blind eye. If the investigation is too harsh, there may not even be people working.
It was already evening when I left Hubu. On the way back, I met Yu Yi. Yu Yi was talking to the policeman from Dali Temple on the side of the street. The policeman who spoke to Yu Yi also recognized him as Zhang Ziyan from Dali Temple. He had met Yu Yi that day.
It was this female detective who went to Yizhuang to investigate his whereabouts.
He had a good impression of this person. When he saw this person greeting me, he got off his horse and talked to him. He casually asked what Dali Temple has been busy with recently.
Next, the Yushitai will send a large number of police officers to the local area, responsible for ransacking the homes of corrupt officials identified by the inspection team. The Yushitai does not have that many manpower, so it will definitely have to work with the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to handle the case.
I never thought that Zhang Ziyan would answer that Dali Temple has been very busy recently. After taking charge of the Yushitai, all major and important cases were handled directly by the Yushitai.
With his hands in hand, Dali Temple could only handle some errands that Yushitai was unwilling to do, such as arresting Japanese envoys to the Tang Dynasty.
As early as last year, the imperial court ordered the arrest and deportation of the Tang envoys. Because Japan took advantage of the Tang Dynasty's internal and external troubles and repeatedly sent rogues to invade the southeastern border, burning, killing, and looting. There were many evil deeds. The emperor was furious. At first, he ordered the deportation of the Tang envoys, and later directly issued an order.
arrest.
Yushitai has not taken action in this matter, so Dali Temple has taken over the matter. Recently, it has been busy arresting envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty. More than 200 people have been arrested, and they are all currently imprisoned in the Dali Temple prison.
After hearing Zhang Ziyan's words, she took the initiative to visit Yang Shuyun, the minister of Dali Temple. He had a good relationship with Yang Shuyun. In the court that day, Yang Shuyun had supported him to be the censor, and Yang Shuyun also had a good relationship with the Ni family.
close.
There must be a reason for visiting, and the reason is easy to find. He is to ask Dali Temple to help rectify the officialdom. However, his real purpose is to go and see the list of Dali Temple's arrested envoys to the Tang Dynasty, because his fourth senior sister Takeda Mayumi
It was Japan's envoy to the Tang Dynasty. Although Takeda Mayumi had spiritual skills, he was not very good at it. There were many masters in Dali Temple's police force, so be sure not to catch Takeda Mayumi.
There are many Ni family properties in Chang'an. On the way, I passed a tea shop and went in to select tea leaves. At this time, there were many varieties of tea leaves, which can be roughly divided into common coarse tea, green tea produced from various places, crushed and pressed powdered tea, and
Fermented tea cakes, crude tea and powdered tea are of average quality, while green tea and tea cakes are expensive, with the top quality being almost the same price as the same weight of silver.
It's not enough to be in a high position, but he also accepted gifts from the Ni family and was as rich as anyone in the country. The pile of tea cakes he brought to Yang Shuyun alone was worth a hundred taels of silver. The same tea cakes were also given to Yu Yi and Zhang Ziyan, two each.
Yu Ben was a policeman from Dali Temple and wanted to go back for a visit, so the three of them rushed to Dali Temple together.
Yang Shuyun is the official of Dali Temple and lives in the backyard of Dali Temple. Yang Shuyun did not expect to come to visit. He was unexpected and happy. He greeted him warmly and hosted a banquet in honor of him.
There was nothing to do in the evening, so I didn't refuse. I sat at the table with officials of the fifth rank and above of Dali Temple, including Yang Shuyun. I didn't like drinking, but when I drank and someone offered a toast, I would drink on my behalf.
At the second watch, when the banquet was over, it was proposed that the police from Dali Temple might be invited to go to the local area to handle the case. Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Yushitai were all in charge of criminal law and often assisted in investigating and handling cases. Naturally, Yang Shuyun would not refuse. The police from Dali Temple
There were many more detectives than Yushitai, with more than 800 people. Yang Shuyun only said that if necessary, he could mobilize 300 gangs from Yushitai to handle the case.
When it comes to handling cases, he knowingly asked what Dali Temple has been busy with recently. Yang Shuyun naturally replied that he was busy catching and sending Tang envoys, pretending to be
Curious, he asked for details, and then asked to see the list of envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty.
There is a list of the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty, and there are also police officers from Dali Temple who can speak Japanese. The names of the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty who were taken into prison are all recorded. I have read them one by one, but I have not found Takeda Mayumi's name.
Just when he was secretly relieved, Yang Shuyun's complaints made him frown again. It turned out that most of these envoys to the Tang Dynasty were martial arts practitioners, and many of them were good at using concealed weapons. In order to arrest these people, Dali Temple
The police officers suffered casualties frequently.
Takeda Mayumi had previously acquired a set of Tiangang flying knives, which were also hidden weapons. He was worried that the names on the list were inaccurate, so he proposed to see these envoys to the Tang Dynasty with his own eyes.
Yang Shuyun naturally refused to refute his face, so he personally took him to the prison of Dali Temple.
The prison in Dali Temple is much larger than the prison in Yushitai. It is divided into two prison areas, the north and the south, where male prisoners and female prisoners are held separately.
The purpose was to confirm whether Takeda Mayumi had been arrested, so he asked to go to the women's prison to have a look, and Yang Shuyun took him to the women's prison.
The women's prison is also divided into ordinary prison cells and felon prison cells. The biggest difference between the two is that the ordinary prison cells have a dirt floor and wooden fences. The felon prison cells have a stone floor and iron fences. All captured women are sent to the Tang Dynasty.
There are more than 60 people in the felon prison cell.
After all, it is a prison of the imperial court. It is not as filthy and filthy as local prisons, but the environment is not much better. You are not allowed to take a bath at will when you are locked up here, and you can only use a toilet to go to the toilet.
The people who guarded the female prison were also female detectives. They were all tall, thick, and fierce. When they saw Yang Shuyun arriving in person, they were surprised, surprised, and frightened.
Since the last time we said goodbye, he has never seen Takeda Mayumi again. He is very worried about Takeda Mayumi's safety, but he also doesn't want Yang Shuyun to find out what purpose he has here. It's almost three o'clock at this time, and most of the prisoners have gone to bed.
He couldn't shout Takeda Mayumi's name. He could only look around and talk loudly to Yang Shuyun. If Takeda Mayumi was among them, he would definitely hear his voice.
I walked back and forth to the prison cell for felons, but I didn't find Mayumi Takeda. Japanese women and women from the Tang Dynasty are almost the same in appearance. However, as envoys to the Tang Dynasty, these Japanese women have very regular facial features. After all, they have to be sent abroad, so they can't be picky.
It's embarrassing to go out ugly.
Takeda Mayumi was gone and he breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, a muffled groan suddenly came from outside the prison cell, and then someone shouted loudly, "You guys..."
There was nothing more to say before he finished speaking. It was obvious that he had been plotted against.
Not only did they notice anomalies, but the two female detectives who were traveling with them also reacted, "No, someone is robbing the prison..."
