Chapter two hundred and ninety nine closing the net
King Kang had obviously been worried about being unavailable among the six tribes for a long time. Early the next morning, he ordered people to send a large number of gifts.
Judging from the actual power he holds, the weight of a minister of the Ministry of Finance is more than that of several other ministers. The Ministry of Finance often deals with money and food. With a little manipulation, the gifts given now will be doubled in the future.
But King Kang's plan this time will eventually come to nothing.
Not to mention Han Ming, the right minister of Hubu, was originally Prince Duan's secret son and could not be used by King Kang. Even if he was not, there was no need to win over the minister of Hubu who was about to be Shuanggui.
The current Han Ming is actually like a time bomb. It's okay if he doesn't touch it, but whoever touches it will be unlucky. Unfortunately, King Kang doesn't understand this truth. Before the bomb explodes, Tang Ning can't reveal anything to King Kang.
Su Ru looked at several big boxes in the courtyard and asked, "Brother Xiao Ning, what should I do with these things?"
Tangning thought for a while and said, "Carry them all to the warehouse."
Xiao Jue came over early in the morning and shared his first cb after becoming a man, successfully getting rid of the problem of being unable to get up in the morning.
He watched the servants move the boxes to the accounting room and said in surprise: "How dare you steal Prince Kang's things?"
Tangning opened a few boxes and looked at them, then shook her head and said, "King Kang still has some good things. The gifts he gave these few times are getting lighter every time. People who are too stingy will rarely achieve great things."
Xiao Jue looked at him, thought for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Are you hiding something from me?"
Tangning looked at him, shook her head and said, "The secret must not be revealed..."
…
In the early morning, a commoner from the capital pushed out the door. As soon as he took a step, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the front, and a group of knights ran wildly through the street in front of him. Although he had to dodge quickly, he still suffered.
A mouthful of dust.
On the streets of the capital, a horse was galloping, and the minimum punishment was twenty sticks. The man said "poof" several times, raised his head, looked up, and said angrily: "His grandma, hurry up and get reincarnated!"
Not long after, in the palace, Emperor Chen held a report in his hand, his face extremely gloomy.
A secret agent knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have found out that the tax accounts of Bozhou, Xiangzhou and Weizhou have been falsified for several years. Han Ming, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue, colluded with
The governor of the three prefectures embezzled the tax money and grain of the three prefectures, and converted all the money into silver, amounting to more than 2.3 million taels..."
Emperor Chen slapped his hand on the table and said in a deep voice: "What a good minister of household affairs. I made him the minister of household affairs, not to put the money from the treasury into his own pocket!"
"Ling Yun!" He whispered.
Ling Yun came out of the queue, bowed and said: "I am here."
"Immediately arrest Han Ming, the right minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the three departments of the Yushitai, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Dali Temple will interrogate this case. We must get to the bottom of this case!" Chen Huang gritted his teeth and said word by word: "I want to bring this case to light.
Find out those people hiding behind them one by one!"
"As you command!"
…
Household Department.
It has been more than ten days since Tang Ning left, and the Ministry of Revenue is still as busy as ever. Ever since His Majesty developed the habit of paying private visits incognito from time to time, there has been very little laziness in the major government offices in the capital.
Han Ming, the right servant of the Ministry of Revenue, walked into the duty room. When he looked at another table, his expression was startled. Fang Zhe, the left servant, has always been diligent. It has been a while since he went to the Yamen, and he hasn't come yet. It's really strange.
strangeness.
He sat down at his table, and after a quarter of an hour, Fang Zhe came late.
He was holding a paper bag in his hand. After opening it, an alluring aroma immediately emitted.
He pointed at the pastries in the paper bag, gestured to Han Ming, and asked: "Do you want some of the pastries made by my daughter, Mr. Han?"
Han Ming smelled the aroma, pinched a piece of pastry, and after tasting it, he praised: "Master Fang's beloved daughter has such skills at such a young age. It is really surprising. My daughter is only eighteen years old and has never been in the kitchen before.
.”
While eating the pastries, he admired: "I have tasted all the pastries from Tianranju, which are famous in the capital. In my opinion, my daughter's craftsmanship is even better than those famous chefs from Tianranju..."
Fang Zhe smiled slightly and said: "I can't eat anymore. If Master Han likes to eat, eat more, otherwise I'm afraid it will be wasted."
Han Ming smiled and said: "It is not good to waste food. In this case, I will not be polite."
He picked up the last piece of pastry and said regretfully: "It's so delicious, what a pity it would be if I couldn't eat it more often in the future..."
As soon as he finished speaking, several figures strode in from outside the door.
Ling Yun looked at him and said expressionlessly: "According to His Majesty's orders, Han Ming, the right servant of the Ministry of Revenue, is captured and brought to justice. Mr. Han, come with us."
Seeing this, Han Ming's expression changed and he said urgently: "Commander Ling, may I ask what crime I have committed? What do you mean?"
"Bozhou, Xiangzhou, Weizhou..." Ling Yun said, looked at him and asked: "Shilang Han, do you want me to continue?"
Han Ming's body was shaken violently, his face suddenly turned pale, and the last cake in his hand fell to the ground.
Ling Yun waved his hand: "Take it away."
The guards behind him rushed forward.
"Wait a minute." Han Ming raised his head, as if he was much older, and his voice was even hoarse.
After all, he was the Right Minister of Tobe. He had been in a high position for many years and naturally had a certain temperament about him. Seeing him speak, several guards stopped in their tracks.
"There is one piece of pastry left, don't waste it." He picked up the last piece of pastry from the ground, put it to his mouth, blew on it, and slowly put it into his mouth.
He looked at Fang Zhe, who was standing there and looking at him calmly, turned his head and said, "I will go on my own."
Several guards looked at Ling Yun, who raised his hand and followed Han Ming.
In Hubu, when the palace guards came to Hubu Yamen, many people instinctively sensed the tension in the atmosphere.
Then I saw Minister Han walking out of the duty room with an ashen face, and all the guards were following him. Someone finally realized what was going on, with a look of extreme shock on his face.
Han Ming slowly walked out of the household department under the gaze of everyone.
In half the morning, the fact that Han Ming, the right minister of the Ministry of Finance, was taken away from the Ministry of household affairs by the Imperial Guards, was not spread throughout the capital, but all the major government offices and high-level mansions got the news immediately.
.
No one knows the reason why Han Ming was taken away yet, but everyone knows that once His Majesty dispatches the imperial guards, things will be very serious. Han Shilang may be in trouble this time.
Ministry of Rites.
The tea cup in the hand of the Minister of Rites fell to the ground. The official who was delivering the message in the room had never seen the Minister so rude before. He stood there, a little at a loss.
"You should go out first." After an unknown amount of time, Tang Huai slowly spoke.
"Yes, sir." As if he had been granted amnesty, the official immediately pushed him out and closed the door.
In the room, Tang Huai held the hem of his clothes tightly with both hands, his arms shaking uncontrollably.
His face, which had always been smooth, showed extreme disbelief and a trace of deeply hidden fear.
"What the hell!" Xiao Jue, who was resting at home in Dingguo Palace, learned the news. He got up from the bed and cursed in a low voice.
Xiao Fu looked at his naked upper body and asked, "Young Master, do you still press the button?"
"Fuck you!" Xiao Jue hurriedly put on his clothes and said, "Go find Tangning!"
Prince Kang's Mansion.
"Han Ming, the Minister of Household Affairs, has been arrested?" King Kang, who had just learned the news, was stunned on the spot and did not speak for a long time.
A figure hurriedly walked in from outside. Before he could get closer, he said loudly: "Your Highness is not good, Your Highness is not good!"
The man took three steps at a time, ran forward, and said anxiously: "Your Highness, there is news from the Yushitai that Han Ming, the Minister of Household Affairs, embezzled millions of taels of national tax money during his tenure. Your Majesty has ordered the Ministry of Punishments to
The three departments of Dali Temple and Yushitai will jointly investigate and investigate this matter strictly. Han Ming is finished!"
King Kang's body trembled and he almost fell.
Han Ming's embezzlement of millions of taels of state tax money must be a major case with wide implications. And yesterday morning, he asked Tangning to give Han Ming a generous gift...
Once this matter is found out, what will the courtiers think and what will the father think?
King Kang's face turned pale almost instantly, and he said loudly: "Quick, prepare the car, go to Tang Mansion!"
