Chapter 445: When will Ming Dynasty have Bao Qingtian?
"Qiwu, there is definitely something wrong with this Liu Song. Do you want me to help you get that guy down now?"
"You don't have the arrogance of scholars, these corrupt officials have far less arrogance."
Xu Dana's casserole-sized fists clenched loudly.
It seemed that he wanted to rush forward and smash Liu Song's head off.
Zhu Han stopped Xu Da dumbfounded. Why is the mighty Ming Army God still so impulsive?
"Brother Xu, please be patient and read on. I believe Liu Song will not let me down."
It's not that Xu Da didn't believe Zhu Han, but Liu Song's performance was really hard for him to accept: "But Qi Wu, is this guy really not hinting at anything?"
"The public trial you set up was in front of all the people of Yanjing. If something goes wrong, the court will be disgraced."
Zhu Han didn't care about his worries: "Don't worry, Brother Xu, Liu Song will not let us down."
Zhu Han looked at the excited people outside.
Even Xu Da was so worried, so the people naturally didn't believe Liu Song even more.
By this time, the crowd was already showing signs of commotion.
Many of the Black Cavalry soldiers around had even grasped the handles of their swords, ready to draw their swords and attack at any time.
Although they will carry out Xu Da's orders meticulously, the current situation also makes them feel confused.
Didn't you say that we were dealing with corrupt officials?
But why does today's presiding judge seem to be colluding with these corrupt officials?
If a conflict really breaks out, do they really want to attack these ordinary people?
Many officers and soldiers of the Black Cavalry Army were a little shaken.
"Don't worry, Brother Xu." Zhu Han turned a blind eye to all this: "If Liu Song really dares to protect these people, he will be the first to be interrogated today."
Xu Da opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
But in the end, his thousands of words turned into just one long conversation.
"Qi Wu, I don't know what your kid's long-term plans are. But if what you kid creates causes riots among the people, you see how I will deal with you."
Facing the angry crowd, even the head of the Cleaning Department of the Ministry of Finance who was on trial was a little scared.
There are too many unscrupulous people below. If those people rush up to him, he will probably die without a burial place.
He carefully raised his head and glanced at Liu Song, who was sitting high on the throne.
Seeing the other party's unmoving appearance, the head of the Cleaning Department was slightly relieved.
He couldn't help but admire Liu Song in his heart: "As expected of a Shangguan from Yanjing, his calm mind is far beyond what we can achieve. In such a situation, he can still remain calm and calm."
Seeing the people's anger getting stronger and stronger, Liu Song slapped the scarecrow again: "Liang Ji, do you know your guilt?"
Liu Song's voice was not loud, but it seemed to have a special power that suppressed the noise of the people around him.
Those common people subconsciously shut up and did not dare to speak easily again.
Liang Ji, the head of the Cleaning Department of the Ministry of Finance, didn't know why, but he felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart, and there was always a feeling that the other party was doing something unkind.
However, Liang Ji quickly threw away the fear in his heart.
This adult was quite nice to him just now, so he probably wouldn't suddenly turn against him.
After clearing his throat, Liang Ji, the head of the Cleaning Department of the Ministry of Finance, had an innocent look on his face: "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand this?"
"Xiaguan has been in office for so many years and has not made any achievements, but he is still diligent and diligent. He never dares to slack off. Even if there is no credit, there should be hard work, right? Your Excellency, if you say this, it will make us do our best for the court.
The officials are heartbroken."
As soon as he said these words, all the people who heard what he said opened their eyes in disbelief.
I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people.
What kind of virtue are the officials of the Six Ministries of Yanjing? Do you really think that ordinary people like them don't know anything?
"Shameless!"
Without looking for anyone, he cursed through gritted teeth.
His words seemed to turn on a switch and resonated with many people.
"You corrupt officials, how dare you say that you have merit?"
"If corruption can be regarded as merit, I believe these people would have become first-class officials in the imperial court."
"It's so shameless that such a lie can be said out loud."
"It's just talk, what's the big deal? They've made it clear and they want to confuse right and wrong in public."
"Let's go, there's nothing good to see. I've been looking forward to it all night in vain. If I had known better, I wouldn't have had to come all night to queue up."
Many disappointed people have already begun to pack their things and prepare to leave.
It was only when they wanted to leave that they realized that the area was already surrounded by water and they couldn't leave at all.
The people inside wanted to leave, but the people outside didn't know what was happening, so they squeezed in as hard as they could.
The two parties were locked in a stalemate, and no one could move an inch.
"Everyone give way, let us go out first!"
"Brother, please stop pushing outside. Didn't you see there are people behind me?"
"You finally got in, why do you want to go out if you are fine?"
"You guys should stop joining in the fun and just go back to where you came from. I originally thought I was bringing justice to us poor people, but in the end, we were protected by officials. These people don't care about our lives or lives at all."
Similar conversations kept happening on several roads around the Penal Department.
Xu Da was so anxious that his head was about to catch fire: "Qiwu, do you really want to ignore it? Are you going to let these people go and ruin the reputation of our court?"
Zhu Han was also speechless, although he knew that Liu Song was not the kind of person who bent the law for personal gain.
But when this guy does things, his unhurried and step-by-step approach can really make someone anxious to death.
At this time, what else can Zhu Han do?
He could only comfort Xu Da helplessly: "Don't be anxious, just wait."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this time, Liu Song snorted disdainfully and slapped the crowd with surprise: "You dare to offend the official, and you haven't hurry up until now. Pay for the sins you have committed!"
Is the head of the Cleaning Department of the Ministry of Finance confused?
What's going on?
There seems to be something wrong.
Isn't the Lord Liu Song in front of me one of our own?
If that's the case, why do you suddenly look like you're going to attack someone?
When I was confused.
Among the people below the high platform, someone suddenly shouted excitedly.
"good!"
I have to say that the people of the Ming Dynasty were still too simple.
Just now I thought Liu Song was colluding with those corrupt officials.
Now Liu Song began to question the prisoner, and the people immediately started to cheer excitedly.
The head of the Cleaning Department of the Ministry of Finance rolled his eyes, wondering if Mr. Liu was just showing off in front of these idiots?
After all, Liu Song's "hints" were already obvious enough.
He had already completely regarded Liu Song as one of his own.
Thinking he understood Liu Song's tricks, Liang Ji also had some confidence in his mind.
He immediately put on an aggrieved look and said, "Sir, I have been wronged! I have been working in the Ministry of Finance for so many years, and I have always been cautious and cautious. I never dared to step beyond the limit."
"Xiaguan learned the way of the saints, and he was named on the gold medal list to meet today's emperor. Your Majesty's words are still in my heart, and I always reflect on them."
"Our salary and salary are all paid by the people. If we can't do things for the people, wouldn't we have failed His Majesty and the teachings of the saints...?"
If his performance were seen by people in other places, they might actually believe that he was wrongly accused.
But this is Yanjing, and the people present are all ordinary people in Yanjing City.
They don't know how many years they have been bullied by corrupt officials like Yanjing.
If you pick anyone at random, you can tell them about the deeds of these guys bullying the people for three days and three nights without repeating the same story.
The more righteous words Liang Ji spoke, the angrier the people of Yanjing became.
"Shameless, none of these officials are really good."
"If I remember correctly, the disaster relief funds allocated by the imperial court to Datong last year were stolen by the official department and more than 10,000 taels of silver were taken away."
"Also, his son is not a good person. In the fourth year of Hongwu, he was jealous and beat others to death. In the end, nothing happened."
"This kind of person should be cut to pieces by a thousand swords!"
"He was still torn to death by a thousand cuts. It would be good if he could be sentenced normally. Look at the judge above, there is no expression on his face at all. I guess people already know what is going on."
"Many people say that the former Song Dynasty was weak, but the Song Dynasty produced Bao Qingtian. Why can't the Ming Dynasty produce such a good official who is not afraid of power and makes decisions for our people?"
"Bao Longtu is the reincarnation of Wenquxing in the sky. He is certainly different from ordinary people. Such a person only appears once in thousands of years, so don't daydream."
It's just that these depressed people never expected that they would actually encounter it today.
Liang, the head of the Cleaning Department, remembered that he had just finished his sophistry.
Liu Song said coldly: "I pay attention to evidence when making judgments. Since you say you are unjust, we will come to the scene to check the accounts."
"Come here, please bring over the account books of the Ministry of Finance and Cleaning Department for the past year. I will be on site to check the accounts today."
"I want to see if this gentleman is unjust."
Liang Ji, the head of the Cleaning Department of the Yanjing Ministry of Finance, was immediately dumbfounded.
etc……
Something doesn't seem right.
Did he hear it correctly?
The adult in front of me wants to audit the accounts? And he does it in front of so many people?
Although the accounts of the Ministry of Finance are all done by a special accounting office.
But Liang Ji knew very well that those methods were just self-deception.
If you really want to check, you can definitely find the problem.
The reason why it was not discovered before was not because their methods were so clever, it was just that no one dared to really investigate.
After all, in the entire imperial court, apart from the Ministry of Officials and Officials, the Ministry of Finance had the highest status.
Being in charge of the imperial court's purse, it is not easy for them to deal with anyone.
You don't even need to do anything deliberately. Just find a "legitimate" reason to get stuck when withdrawing money.
As long as the Ministry of Finance is looking for it, there is no reason why it cannot be found.
Soldiers and horses should go ahead before food and grass are used. This is especially true for officials of the imperial court.
Without money, you won't be able to use it even if you have great skills.
If you drag it around and drag it out in the end, it's your fault. It has nothing to do with the finance department.
Moreover, the Ministry of Finance has the most ruthless move to find reasons to stop the salaries of officials who offend their yamen.
Although the officials of the imperial court are all wealthy people who are not short of money.
But not everyone is short of money.
Living in the capital was not easy, especially since the salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty were not high, so their lives became even more difficult.
Under such circumstances, if we continue to suspend their salaries, wouldn’t that mean forcing people to death?
But when it gets to this point, it's like hurting others by a thousand and hurting yourself by a thousand.
Of course those officials will be dissatisfied with the person who caused all this, and they will also bear a grudge against the Ministry of Finance.
In such a large court, the Ministry of Finance is not in charge of everything, and it always falls into the hands of others.
It is because of these twists and turns in the officialdom that every time the imperial court launches an investigation into the Ministry of Finance, the result is loud thunder but little rain.
Originally, Liang Ji thought that this time would be the same as before, and that the adult in front of him was just going through the motions.
What's more, this gentleman was hinting at something before.
But auditing the accounts in public?
It's okay to say nothing if nothing is found, but if a problem is really found.
He can't even deny it.
"This..." Liang Ji hesitated and said, "Sir, there is no need for this, right? I can swear to God that there is absolutely no problem with the accounts of the Cleaning Department of the Ministry of Finance."
"If there is any discrepancy, I, Liang Jitian, will be struck with thunder and death."
The corners of Liu Song's mouth turned up, showing a disdainful expression.
The meaning behind Liang Ji's words was clear to him.
The accounts of the Qing Officials Department are correct.
This is nonsense. The people in their finance department specialize in doing the accounting. As long as they calculate it one by one according to their account books, there will definitely be no problem.
"Master Liang, there is no need to worry. I will enforce the law impartially. I will not wrongly accuse a good person, nor let a bad person go."
The words were kind, but Liang Ji just felt cold all over.
The most important thing is that he has been an official in Yanjing all year round and does not know much about the situation in Yingtian.
The adult in front of me has never been seen before.
I don’t know what kind of person he is, let alone whether he is one of my own.
Although it looks like it, why do I always feel inexplicably frightened in my heart?
"Brother Xu, please go to the Office of the Ministry of Finance and Clearing Officials to get their account books, please."
The troops brought by Xu Da naturally include not only the Black Cavalry Army, but also more than 4,000 Jinwu Guards.
The purpose of their coming here is, of course, to form the initial guard force of the Yanjing capital.
Now, he was sent by Zhu Han to guard the six yamen.
After all, at this time, all you need to do to destroy evidence is set off a fire.
These people even dared to assassinate him, and even if they were spared alive, wouldn't they be easily captured?
The people who sent the Black Cavalry Army to watch were not because Zhu Han didn't trust the Jinwu Guards, but he just didn't want to cause trouble.
