Chapter 295 Seeing Him Rising From A Tall Building
Tang Xiaoyu looked at the ten copper boxes in front of him and couldn't help but touch his nose.
With a wave of his hand, the lid of the ten-port copper box opened directly.
The documents inside flew out like snowflakes and passed before Tang Xiaoyu's eyes.
The confessions and evidence of crime that had been read were neatly placed next to the box.
This scene made Jiang Xianzheng stunned.
At this moment, the cold sweat on his forehead broke out from fear.
He had long heard his master say that the Holy One was a god-man who descended to earth. Today, he had finally seen the Holy One's methods with his own eyes.
After a while, all the documents were passed in front of Tang Xiaoyu, and Tang Xiaoyu slowly closed his eyes.
It's a special code, and my eyes are sore just to show off.
You want to ask Tang Xiaoyu what he just watched?
I didn't see anything clearly.
Just pretending.
"Tell me what you think."
Listening to the Holy Master's question, Jiang Xianzheng quickly organized his words and said:
"Your Majesty, you have also seen that almost all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty have been accused by others. Even Master Ling Boxue, the Minister, has been accused of accepting gifts from others.
Among them, Ji Xianyuan, the right prime minister, and Sima Teng, the left prime minister, are the most prominent. Most cases are inextricably linked to these two people.
Especially the Right Prime Minister Ji Xianyuan. In recent years, he not only formed cliques, but also secretly awarded and accepted the government offices. He even openly sold his official position through the hands of his son. He dared to sell even the governors of local provinces. He was simply insane and insane.
What is even more heinous is that many of his local officials are just ordinary people, killing corrupt officials in the countryside. Many people came to the capital to complain, but they were all driven back by people sent by the Right Prime Minister. Not only did he not redress the grievances of the people, but he took bribes and actively protected his officials, causing public resentment to boil and the people to complain! . . . "
Tang Xiaoyu listened to Jiang Xianzheng's report while thinking about how to deal with these officials.
In fact, there was no need to check. When Tang Xiaoyu saw Ji Meiling's arrogant and domineering energy, he knew that Ji Xianyuan must not have run away.
What decent person could raise such a son?
It must be the result of being influenced by words and deeds.
This time things are so big, even if the Heavenly King comes, this Ji Xianyuan will die.
As for other officials, how to deal with them is a headache for Tang Xiaoyu.
Honglu Temple is still waiting to open its doors to welcome guests, and countless kingdoms and empires outside are still waiting to come and pay homage.
At this juncture, if we catch all the officials in one fell swoop, not only will we lose face, but the key is that we won’t be able to find anyone to replace them for a while.
Therefore, it is definitely unrealistic to convict everyone.
We can only kill some, release some, and beat some.
Jiang Xianzheng finished telling all the things that should be reported, but found that the Holy Emperor was still standing there without saying a word.
He didn't know if he had said something wrong somewhere, so he could only wait anxiously for the Holy Lord's will.
After a long while, Tang Xiaoyu slowly said:
"I will draw a red line for you. Those who commit adultery and plunder, murder and arson, prey on the common people, harm the villagers, buy and sell officials, those who commit the above five crimes, or those who condone these five criminals will be severely punished without mercy and will not be tolerated!
Those who are greedy for money and accept bribes can be punished and stay in office as long as they hand over the money they have spent and write a confession to repent of their crimes.
As for Ji Xianyuan and Sima Teng, I will give you a decree and just follow the decree to arrest them. "
When Jiang Xianzheng heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, took the Holy Lord's will, and went directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion to get the person.
In the residence of the right prime minister,
Ji Xianyuan was sitting in the study at the moment, patiently waiting for the Lord's orders.
Now the whole city is about to be stormy. If there is no news, it is the best news.
Suddenly, bursts of noisy sounds came from the front yard, accompanied by shouts and shouts.
Ji Xianyuan quickly got up and walked to the courtyard, where he happened to bump into Jiang Xianzheng who was holding the imperial edict.
Seeing the people brought by Jiang Xianzheng and driving his own guards aside, Ji Xianyuan sneered and said:
"Jiang Shaoqing, you are so majestic."
Jiang Xianzheng couldn't help but sneer secretly in his heart. Death was imminent, and he thought he was a superior prime minister.
"Ji Xianyuan listens!"
Only then did Ji Xianyuan realize that Jiang Xianzheng was holding the imperial edict in his hand.
His expression suddenly changed and he quickly fell to his knees.
"Ji Xianyuan, you came from a poor family and studied hard for ten years before you could reach high school.
I thought you would be kind to the people, but I didn't expect that you would indulge your officials and cause harm to the village.
Do you know how many people died tragically at the hands of your officials?
For the sake of our relationship as monarch and minister, I will only punish you for your sins and will not harm others.
If you are even remotely grateful to me, then honestly confess your crimes. "
Ji Xianyuan's face turned pale as he listened to the words of the imperial edict.
He kowtowed heavily to the ground and said, trembling all over:
"I accept the order and thank you!"
Jiang Xianzheng looked at Ji Xianyuan on the ground and said directly to the men beside him:
"Come here! Take the prisoner back to Dali Temple for interrogation!"
"promise!"
The residence of Zuo Xiang,
Sima Teng stayed in the study all day and night.
He was reviewing over and over again what he had done over the years.
As a scheming and astute person, Sima Teng never likes to put himself in danger.
Anything that is risky or that will bring danger to him will be nipped in the bud in advance.
This is the greatest skill he has learned from being with his father for twenty years.
He did take a lot of bribes over the years. He also formed gangs and bribed many officials.
But there is a bottom line that he will never touch.
That is something that violates the laws of the dynasty, and he will not do anything.
Even if someone under him did it, he would immediately sever ties with him.
Because he always believed in one sentence, if there is no airtight wall in the world, there must be no absolute secret.
If you don't want others to know, the only way is not to do it.
Therefore, even in the face of such a severe situation, Sima Teng can still remain calm.
Soon, Jiang Xianzheng led people to his courtyard.
Sima Teng secretly said in his heart: Here we come.
He got up and walked to the courtyard to greet him.
As soon as the two met, Sima Teng immediately raised his hands and congratulated:
"Jiang Shaoqing has a bright future if he can gain the emperor's trust! I wonder what is happening here, Shaoqing?"
Unlike at the Right Prime Minister's residence, Jiang Xinzheng did not put on a business-like expression.
He smiled and raised his hand to salute Sima Teng, and then he said:
"Thanks to the good advice of Prime Minister Zuo! I came here this time in accordance with the emperor's decree. I asked Mr. Zuo Prime Minister to go to Dali Temple and help us investigate some cases."
The reason why he didn't show off to Sima Teng was because Sima Teng perfectly avoided the holy red line.
Secondly, he was also afraid of Sima Teng, an old fox.
Think about it, a man who has been prime minister for thirty or forty years has not even had a single serious crime on his hands that people can grasp.
How terrifying this person must be with his special code!
Sima Teng's expression did not change at all after hearing this, and he continued to say with a smile:
"Okay, I'll go with you to Dali Temple. Please!"
