In the evening, Li Tianmu took Dong Qing and Chen Maohong with Yu Bozhong and Wu Qi to the Yu Mansion for a banquet.
When it was time to apply for the license, Yu Jing had not yet got off work. Yu Bozhong took Li Tianmu and others around the house. This big house is not small, with hundreds of houses, pavilions and pavilions, and the back garden is larger than the entire Feihu.
The escort agency is quite big.
Chen Maohong was dumbfounded when he saw such a big house for the first time. He was filled with jealousy and thought to himself: "It would be great if I could have such a big house."
Li Tianmu became more and more angry as he looked at it, thinking: "This mansion is worth a lot of money. It costs hundreds of thousands taels of silver to buy it. Yu Jing can't afford it even if he doesn't eat or drink for several lifetimes with his salary alone."
This guy must have taken bribes a lot, and he is a very corrupt official. Every brick and tile, every plant and tree here is a tribute to the people. The common people work hard and earn money that is cheap to these corrupt officials. What kind of world is this?"
After Yu Jing returned home, he held a banquet in honor of Li Tianmu and others. On the table were mountain animals, swallows in the clouds, cattle and sheep from land, and fresh food from the sea, all delicacies.
Next to Yu Jing sat a beautiful woman in her early twenties, with enchanting appearance and sexy figure. She was Yu Jing's concubine, named Pan Xiaoyun. This girl was born in a brothel, and was originally the daughter of the most beautiful brothel in Beijing.
The first thing is that three years ago, Yu Jing hooked up with her. After sleeping with her, she felt very happy. He didn't want her to be touched by others again, so he paid a lot of money to ransom her.
Chen Maohong was not only greedy for money, but also very lustful, and would steal glances at Pan Xiaoyun from time to time.
Although the position of first assistant was taken back by the princelings, Yan Shoufeng was not willing to accept defeat. Now the second assistant is Zheng Lujia, the Minister of Punishment of the Zheng Party. Yan Shoufeng wants to trip up Zhuang Lian and regain the position of first assistant.
How could he trip up Zhuang Lian? When the night was deeper, Yan Shoufeng lay on the kang and meditated hard. Zhuang Lian was a low-key man and had a reputation for being clean. Is he really honest, or is he just pretending?
Yan Shoufeng felt that Zhuang Lian might not be an upright official, so he thought about it and came up with an idea. Although this idea might not trip up Zhuang Lian, he wanted to try it first if there were no dates.
Early the next morning, Yan Shoufeng was sitting in the office. There were eight lines of paper on the desk. He picked up a pen, brushed dots on the paper, and wrote down a list of people. After writing it, he asked the guard to call Tian Ergeng over.
.
When Tian Ergeng walked into the office, Yan Shoufeng picked up the list and said, "Ergeng, look at this. Do you know all the people on it?"
Tian Ergen took it and saw a list. The people on it were all big bosses in the building materials industry in Beijing. Some were in the wood business, some were in the stone business, and some were in the brick and tile business.
After Tian Ergen looked at it, he said, "Every kid knows the people here."
Yan Shoufeng said: "In recent years, these people have almost taken over the materials for all the projects of the Ministry of Industry. Why does Zhuang Lian take care of them so much? I think there must be something fishy here. If you arrest these people quickly and torture them, they will definitely
If they are forced to confess their bribery to Zhuang Lian, I will trip up Zhuang Lian."
Tian Ergeng said: "I understand, I'll do it now."
In the morning of that day, all the people on the list were arrested. Among them was a member of the Communist Party of China named Zhao who was arrested at his home. There were spies from Jinyiwei in his house. The spy reported the news shortly after Zhao was arrested.
Giving Luo Yangxing did not attract Luo Yangxing's attention.
After the spy left, about two-quarters of an hour later, another spy came to report to Luo Yangxing, saying that Sun Yuanwai, who was in the stone business, had been arrested by Dongchang. This time it attracted Luo Yangxing's attention. He knew that this was the case.
The two members knew very little about each other, so I thought to myself: "Why did Dongchang arrest both of them? This matter may not be simple. I have to tell the old man quickly."
He came to Luo Sigong's office and told him what had happened. Luo Sigong said, "Go and check whether there is anything wrong with Jiang Yuanwai, Song Yuanwai, Kong Yuanwai and Chen Yuanwai who are supplying materials to the Ministry of Works?"
Luo Yangxing sent someone to inquire about the news. About half an hour later, he informed Luo Sigong that the four members had also been arrested by Dongchang.
After Luo Sigong heard this, he immediately guessed Yan Shoufeng's intention, but was not worried. He felt that Zhuang Lian was incorruptible and would never make mistakes financially.
It's hard to draw a tiger's bones. It's hard to know a person's face but not his heart. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.
Luo Sigong did not dare to be careless, and for the sake of caution, he decided to talk to Zhuang Lian. Once Zhuang Lian's butt was dirty, he had to wipe Zhuang Lian's butt quickly. Now the second assistant and third assistant are both members of Zheng's party. Once Zhuang Lian's butt is dirty,
After being tripped, it will be difficult for the princelings to regain the position of chief minister.
Luo Sigong came to the Cabinet Office, walked into Zhuang Lian's office, and closed the door.
Zhuang Lian saw him coming and said with a smile: "Brother Luo is here, sit down. What can I do?"
Luo Sigong sat down and said: "I just got the news. Just an hour ago, Zhao Dagui, Sun Youliang, Jiang Zheng, Song Wen, Kong Xiang, and Chen Li were all arrested by Dongchang. I know that they are all from the Ministry of Industry.
Suppliers, Dongchang’s purpose of arresting them, I won’t tell you, but Brother Zhuang, you should be able to guess it. Brother Zhuang, I would like to ask, will you confiscate their benefits?”
When Zhuang Lian heard this, his expression changed.
Luo Sigong was good at observing words and expressions, and his heart trembled when he saw the look of fear on Zhuang Lian's face.
Zhuang Lian pondered for a moment and said: "I confiscated not a penny of their benefits."
Luo Sigong let out a sigh of relief after hearing what he said, but since he didn't get any benefits, why did his expression change?
Luo Sigong was suspicious and heard Zhuang Lian say again: "However, as far as I know, Lao Yu did not take away their benefits." At this point, he sighed and said: "Hey, I was confused for a moment and took Lao Yu's favor.
With a little money, if something happens to Lao Yu and he bites me out, I will be in big trouble."
Those six people are all businessmen, and most businessmen value profits over righteousness. Under the torture of Dongchang, they will definitely confess Yu Jing. Yu Jing is dead this time. Once Yu Jing is captured by Dongchang,
Can he withstand Dongchang's torture and not bite randomly? Luo Sigong felt that Yu Jing probably couldn't resist.
Zhuang Lian said nervously: "Brother Luo, you have to help me get through this difficulty. Think of a way to prevent Lao Yu from biting me out."
Luo Sigong frowned, stood up, sighed softly, and said, "I'll do my best."
Zhuang Lian said: "Then I'll leave it to Brother Luo."
Wanting Yu Jing not to bite Zhuang Lian out would only make him shut up forever. Luo Sigong had two plans to shut up Yu Jing forever. He wanted to try the first plan first. If it didn't work, he would have to use it.
Second option.
Luo Sigong left the Cabinet Office, came to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, knocked on the door of Yu Jing's office, and after two "dang-dang" sounds, he heard Yu Jing say from inside: "Come in!" Luo Sigong opened the door, walked in, and said
: "Are you busy?" He closed the door and bolted it.
Yu Jing said: "Master Luo, please sit down. Is there something wrong?"
Luo Sigong sat down and told the story about the six suppliers from the Ministry of Industry who were arrested by Dongchang. Yu Jing was shocked and said to himself: "This is bad, what should we do?"
Luo Sigong said: "Brother Yu, I know you have received benefits from them. When they get to Dongchang, they will definitely turn you in. You will be doomed this time."
Yu Jing said nervously: "Mr. Luo, for the sake of our many years of friendship, you have to help your brother."
Luo Sigong shook his head, sighed and said, "It's too late, no one can save you now." He took out a bundle of rope from his arms and threw it on Yu Jing's desk. Yu Jing was startled and asked
: "Brother Luo, what do you mean?"
Luo Sigong said: "Brother Yu, if you are arrested by Dongchang, your reputation will be ruined. If you want to keep your reputation, kill yourself before Dongchang's people arrive. Without your confession, Dongchang will
I can't convict you. After you leave, I will take care of your family for you, so you can go on your way without worry."
Yu Jing looked at the rope on the table, feeling sad, nodded, and said with a tearful voice: "Brother Luo, I leave my family to you. Before I leave, I want to see Bo Zhong." Having said this,
, two lines of hot tears flowed down.
Luo Sigong said: "It's time to meet Bo Zhong." After saying that, he stood up and left.
Yu Jing asked the guard to call the bodyguard Zhang Shouyue over. When Yu Jing was at work, Zhang Shouyue stayed in the guest room of the Ministry of Works. He could lie down if he wanted to, sit if he wanted to, and do whatever he wanted. It was very leisurely and comfortable.
, how could he have imagined that this leisurely job would soon come to an end.
Zhang Shouyue walked into the office and saw Yu Jing's face was ashen and there were tears in the corners of his eyes, as if he had just cried. He asked with concern: "Sir, what happened?"
Yu Jing said: "It's nothing. Go and call Bo Zhong. I want to see him."
Zhang Shouyue felt that Yu Jing was abnormal and thought something must have happened, but he did not dare to ask any more questions and said, "I'll call the young master over now."
After a while, Yu Bozhong came and said, "Dad, do you have something to do with me?"
Yu Jing stood up and sat on the guest chair. Yu Bozhong sat next to his father. Seeing that his father was in a daze, he asked: "Dad, you don't look good. Are you sick?"
Yu Jing said: "It's nothing, I'm just tired of being a father."
Yu Bozhong said: "Dad, don't work too hard and pay attention to your health."
Yu Jing nodded slightly, took his son's hand, and said, "Zhong'er, my father is going on a long journey and it will take a long time. You have to take care of yourself."
Yu Bozhong said: "Dad, are you going on a business trip?"
Yu Jing said: "I am going on a business trip."
Yu Bozhong said: "Are you leaving today?"
Yu Jing said: "I have to leave in a while."
Yu Bozhong said: "Then you don't celebrate your fiftieth birthday at home?"
Yu Jing shook his head slightly and said, "I won't do it."
Yu Bozhong said: "The day will come in a few days. Why is the official business so urgent? Can't it be postponed for a few days?"
Yu Jing said: "We can't slow down."
Yu Bozhong said: "Dad, where are you going on a business trip?"
Yu Jing said: "Go to the west, a place far away."
After the six members arrived at the East Factory, Tian Ergeng did not torture them, so they all surrendered and handed over Yu Jing. During the procurement of project materials, Yu Jing received a large amount of kickbacks, amounting to as much as 1
More than one million taels of silver. To Tian Ergen's regret, Zhuang Lian had nothing to do with it, and Zhuang Lian confiscated their benefits.
Tian Ergeng took the confessions of the six people to Zhongyi Pavilion and gave them to Yan Shoufeng for review. Yan Shoufeng thought: "Yu Jing is only the deputy general manager of each project, and Zhuang Lian is the general manager. The final decision-making power on purchasing building materials rests with Zhuang Lian."
In his hands, if Zhuang Lian didn't nod, Yu Jing wouldn't be able to purchase the building materials for those six people. The more than one million taels of silver would never fall into Yu Jing's own pocket. The bulk of it must have been taken by Zhuang Lian. As long as
By arresting Yu Jing, we can get evidence that Zhuang Lian was corrupt and violated the law."
Yan Shoufeng took the confessions of the six people and went to the palace to see Wanli. Wanli ordered him to arrest Yu Jing immediately.
In the office, Yu Jing felt that he didn't have much time. He had to hit the road before Dongchang arrived, otherwise he would be ruined. He said to his son: "Zhong'er, I'm tired of being a father. I want to rest for a while. You go back."
Bar."
Yu Bozhong stood up and said: "Dad, I'll leave first. Please pay attention to safety on the road and take care of yourself."
Yu Jing nodded and glanced at his son for the last time. After Yu Bozhong left, Yu Jing locked the door, took out the bundle of ropes from the drawer, stood on the Taishi chair, looked up at the beam, grabbed one end of the rope, and pulled the other end upwards.
Throw, the rope hangs on the beam, and the rope end hangs down.
Yu Jing made a tight knot at both ends of the rope, and the rope loop was ready. He put the rope loop around his neck, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, swung his legs back, kicked the Taishi chair over, and was immediately hoisted up.
After a while, his eyes bulged, his tongue stretched out, and he died.
After a while, a masked man came up to the house. Seeing that there was no one in the yard, he floated to the ground, found a small hole in the window paper, raised his eyes and looked into the house, and saw that Yu Jing had hanged himself, so he hurriedly flew away.
