Crossing Wu Dalang starts from selling cakes

Chapter 559 Empress Xiansu's Provocation!Two more chapters!

However, Cai Jing thought too much.

Wu Zhi knew that what he was going to do next would definitely shatter all his hopes, bury him from a stable state into an endless abyss, and make him despair until he fell into a icy hell.

It's time to get rid of Cai Jing too!
Wu Zhi thought secretly.

Wu Zhi paused for a moment, then glanced at the joyful Cai Jing, poured a basin of cold water over, and said slowly: "Many officials voluntarily handed over are not true, and they are suspected of being fake, so I have to investigate thoroughly!

Mr. Cai, just wait on the side and wait for me to investigate slowly. If you have no problem, the truth will not do anything to you! "

"..." Cai Jing was stiff all over!
After talking for a long time, is this still a matter of business?

Cai Jing's face immediately collapsed.

I saw a group of people rummaging through boxes and cabinets in his mansion, showing no sympathy at all, and no intention of pretending, they were really looking for it.

At the same time, Wu Zhi is also investigating the surrounding people, as well as Cai Jing's subordinates, the housekeeper, to thoroughly investigate all of Cai Jing's crimes.

In addition to these, Wu Zhi has also brought along the evidence of Cai Jing's previous corruption and bribery books.

Before Wang Fu destroyed the evidence, he was punished by Wu Zhi, and Cai Jing was naturally the same.

After interrogation, rummaging, extorting a confession from the housekeeper, and a series of cumbersome investigations, Wu Zhi found out that Cai Jing embezzled 800 million yuan in silver.

At present, he is taller than Wang Fu.

After all, Wang Fu has not yet become a climate, and Cai Jing is already the prime minister.

Cai Jing's house is only in Bianjing City, there are eight sets, and each set has at least four courtyards, and the area is not small.There are as many as 35 houses elsewhere.

Many of them are relatively prosperous areas in Song Dynasty.

Some houses are listed under the names of his sons, and many houses are listed by his wife.

Wu Zhi has the power in his hands, and the investigation is not difficult.

When Cai Jing realized that Wu Zhi was for real, he was stunned: "Mr. Wu, you accepted the old man's benefits, didn't you agree? This... this is wrong, you are deceiving me?..."

Cai Jing's face was full of astonishment, his eyes were wide open, the white part of a pair of eyes protruded, and he stared at Wu Zhi in astonishment.

Wu Zhi smiled and said: "Master Cai, I will keep the benefits you gave me intact. These are all evidences of your bribery. I will tell His Majesty."

"I kept you before because I didn't want to make a big fuss. Now that the new law has been comprehensively reformed, what are you doing keeping this malignant tumor? Just wait to step down!"

Wu Zhi shook his head, while Cai Jing was limp on the ground...

Wu Zhi looked at the dense land deeds in front of him, gold and silver, and he was tired of looking at them these days.

He ransacked his house every day. It is impossible for ordinary people to see so much money in their lives, but Wu Zhi can see it every day.

This means that Wu Zhi has a large number of people, and the search of the house is quick, otherwise it would be difficult for an official's house to be counted without a few days.

After Wu Zhi finished running here, he took Cai Jing away.

His son Cai You's face was pale: "Father!... Prime Minister Wu, Prime Minister Wu, please let my father go, our Cai family is willing to work hard for Wu, don't take my father away!"

Cai You knew that Cai Jing was taken away, and their family was ruined.

Only Wu Zhi can stop this.

Only by changing Wu Zhi's mind can they save the family.

However, this time Wu Zhi is determined to punish the officials of the Song Dynasty, and it is impossible to forgive him.

Together with Cai You and Cai Jing's family, all those who committed crimes were arrested.

Cai You's face was extremely desperate at the moment. Their Cai family has been standing for so many years, and the family is prosperous, but it was affected by the new law reform and fell into a trough.

The glory of the Cai family will no longer exist.From the moment they go to jail it's over.

Cai Jing's servants and maidservants were all in panic, not knowing what to do.

Wu Zhi did not arrest these servant girls, but most of the Cai family were taken away for investigation.

Seeing this scene, the people in Bianjing whispered to each other, discussing the importance of this matter.

When the Prime Minister of the Left was arrested, it was not a joke, it was enough to cause a sensation in the whole country.

In fact, the news of Bianjing City spread wildly, and almost all the people said that the catch was good.

"Cai Jing was arrested, good news, good news!"

"It's not a good thing, Prime Minister Wu is right!"

There are not many good officials in Bianjing City, so they are not popular among the people.

It's just that whoever cares about their reputation among the people in the court, just depends on who gets the favor of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty.

The emperor favors him, no matter what happens.

Next, Wu Zhi not only arrested Cai Jing, but also arrested Huang Chuan, Shen Wei and others.

At least 400 officials from Cai Jing's faction were arrested, and more than [-] people were implicated.

They all had different positions in Bianjing or did illegal things, and Wu Zhi didn't let them go.

Wu Zhi's review of these issues was not only aimed at Cai Jing's people, but also Wu Zhi's side, many disciples and factions that had been clothed.

The only difference is that as long as it is not too serious, Wu Zhi will turn his eyes and close his eyes, and will not take away his own people.

If it is very serious, sorry, Wu Zhi will not be polite.

Wu Zhi can see that it is his own sake, at most he is a little lighter, but the kind of people who behave like Cai Jing, even Wu Zhi, who is his own, is merciless.

So just during this period of time, Wu Zhi arrested hundreds of people in Bianjing City.

The officials in the lane are not living well, and Wu Zhi is walking on the street. Some officials on the road run into Wu Zhi and run away in fear.

Wu Zhi also checked his father-in-law, Li Gefei, who was Li Qingzhao's father.

Now Li Qingzhao is his concubine, actually his woman, there is no concubine or concubine here in Wu Zhi, as long as it is his woman, he will be treated very well.

What's more, now that Li Qingzhao is pregnant, Wu Zhi has been busy with important things recently, ignoring these, Li Qingzhao has been pregnant for two months.

Li Gefei was single-handedly promoted by him, and he is considered a clean official, even if there are some small problems, it will not hurt.

Li Gefei was in his mansion, Wu Zhi checked his fertile land, rummaged through the box and laughed and said: "Master Li has a very good reputation among the people, and the truth has not found any false evidence!"

"Farewell!"

With a wave of Wu Zhi's hand, he led the people away from Li's residence.

"Congratulations to the military minister!"

Li Gefei wiped off the cold sweat from his head. Although this is his son-in-law, Prime Minister Wu is not an ordinary person. If Wu Zhi gives him some face, he is Wu Zhi's father-in-law. If he doesn't give it, it's nothing more than that.

Fortunately, he did not commit any felony or corruption, so Prime Minister Wu left.

This made Li Gefei sigh with emotion that his father-in-law was also a little scared when he saw his son-in-law.

In Wu Zhi's view, Li Gefei is really good, and there is no major problem.

Even if he was doing business, he didn't have a good reason.

In addition, there is Wang Wei, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs. Although there are some minor problems, they are not serious.Wu Zhi just gave a warning and left.

Of course, in addition to these people, there were also princes and nobles in the capital in this search.

For example, the emperor's other brothers were found out by Wu Zhi.

Among them was Su Wang Zhao Shu.

Zhao Shu embezzled a lot of good land and was caught by Wu Zhi. Wu Zhi did not deal with it directly, but presented these things to Song Huizong.

Song Huizong's meaning is very simple, all corruption is confiscated.The title of prince will be cut off, and the rest will remain unchanged.

In other words, those who are corrupt by these people will be confiscated, and some treatment will be reduced, but they will not be distributed.

Wu Zhi also has no opinion.

He used Song Huizong's power to punish corrupt officials all over the world. If the backlash was on the side of Song Huizong's family, it would not be too serious.

It is not easy for the common people in the world to get such a good result. If they force it, it may backfire.

This time, a large number of officials in the south can be punished, and the lives of ordinary people have been cleaned up for the most part.

Wu Zhi's goal was also achieved.

The next thing is simple.

Cai Jing, Huang Chuan, Shen Wei and some others were all sent to the frontier to do corvée.

Those in the family should be demoted, and those who should be imprisoned.

"Wu Zhi, you're going to have to die! You bastard, if you insist on creating some new law, you're the one who caused us all!"

When Shen Wei was pulled away, he roared fiercely.Even Huang Chuan's old official was the same.

Although Zhao Shu was not assigned, he was also stripped of his title. He still stayed in Bianjing, but in Song Huizong's impression, he was no longer as good as before.

He went into a rage in the palace and smashed the tables and chairs. He seemed to have a grudge against the tables and chairs...

Officials do not live without living, which is the portrayal of Bianjing at this moment!
This action can be described as a shock to the world. It is only the fertile land, family wealth, silver, and houses collected from the officials of Bianjing City, with a total value of around 3000 million.

The land property is also hundreds of thousands of mu.

This time Song Huizong made a fortune again.

Faced with Cai Jing, Shen Wei, Huang Chuan and others being demoted to the frontier for distribution, Song Huizong also expressed a few words.

"Unexpectedly, these people around me are all corrupt officials, they are all corrupt officials!"

Song Huizong was still a little sad.

The situation reported by Wu Zhi was not in the court, he left after finishing his work.

Song Huizong happened to be with Empress Xiansu at the moment.

After Wu Zhi left, Empress Xiansu watched Wu Zhi's back disappear into the distant courtyard, and she said: "Your Majesty, many corrupt officials in the Song Dynasty have been dismissed by Wu Zhi, and you must catch the new vacant candidates. You can control the court, otherwise the prestige of the military minister is getting higher and higher, and it is inevitable that there will be a situation where the court is emptied!"

Empress Xiansu would often say something in front of Song Huizong to blow the wind.

As a queen, she actually doesn't care about how Song Dynasty will develop in the future. Of course, it is good to develop well, provided that the position of the official family must be preserved, and her position as queen cannot be shaken.

Wu Zhi continued to develop like this, and this time he eliminated so many officials. If he promoted the vacant position, wouldn't the court be full of people who were on the side of Wu Xiang?

To be a king is to check and balance, such a situation is very scary.

Song Huizong also understood this.

In the past, he would tell Empress Xiansu not to intervene in politics, but Empress Xiansu still has a few tricks to become a queen.

Hush and inquire about Song Huizong's health, but he can say a few pillow words.

"Why don't I know!" Song Huizong shook his head: "But if these people don't punish, how will the Song Dynasty develop? The last time the banknote incident was caused by them, and everything is hindering the development of the Song Dynasty. I am an official, of course I hope Da Song will get better and better!"

"Actually, the Empress doesn't have to worry about Prime Minister Wu. He doesn't have any other thoughts, but you are right about the situation in the court. The person who will be promoted this time is my man."

There are still many familiar officials under Song Huizong, and he has candidates for promotion.

Song Huizong thought: "However, since I trust Wu Zhi so much, shouldn't such a matter be entrusted to him?"

"With the eyes of a military minister, we can better select good talents!"

Empress Xiansu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, didn't you choose the Minister of Military Affairs? You have the right vision. You cannot be recommended by Wu Zhi for this promotion. You are an official, and the promotion is the most kind thing. Thanks to you, you can consolidate the general situation. If Prime Minister Wu will act arbitrarily in the future, your majesty will not be able to control it! If you have someone who can help you speak, you can control the government!"

"Well, what the queen said is right! But I still decided to let Prime Minister Wu do it!"

Hearing that the officials refused to listen to the persuasion, Empress Xiansu rolled her eyes, and then said, "Your Majesty can suggest that you recommend him to promote an official this time. If Wu Zhi takes over, then this person must be on guard, because he has ambitions." ! Want to control the court.

The concubine said before that any powerful minister will threaten the emperor, even if he does not rebel, he must guard against it, and the emperor should not be vague about what to do! "

"What if he doesn't agree?" Song Huizong asked.

Empress Xiansu smiled and said: "If he doesn't accept it, let your Majesty come down to select him, which means that he is really for the Song Dynasty, not for his own personal gain!"

"Your Majesty can try!"

Empress Xiansu was already sowing dissension, if Wu Zhi didn't think too much about it and selected talents out of good intentions, wouldn't it become the ambition that Empress Xiansu said?

It will inevitably make Song Huizong feel a little jealous.

Empress Xiansu didn't think Wu Zhi would refuse.

Because of the official's trust in him, he can directly come up with a recommendation list, and write all of his own people on it.

If the important positions of civil and military officials are all Wu Zhi's people, it is equivalent to mastering the entire court situation.

Can Wu Zhi not do this?

This is a great opportunity.

Otherwise, why did he work so hard to eliminate Cai Jing, Huang Chuan and others?

Is it really for the sake of the world?

Haha, she doesn't believe it!
Empress Xiansu sneered, she believed that Wu Zhi would do this.

"Well, let's talk about it tomorrow!" Song Huizong didn't care much, he was thinking about something else.

"Cai Jing and the others are all in prison... He has been with me for some years, hey, he deserved what he deserved."

Song Huizong sighed.

But thinking of so much money in the account, and the safety of Huangzhuang this time, Song Huizong regained his smile...

The next day!

early morning.

Civil and military officials stood up.

Song Huizong said loudly: "Mr. Wu, you did a good job this time. The reform of the new law has arrested a group of corrupt officials, and this Cai Jing dared to embezzle money from Longevity Mountain and bribe you with money. You handled it very well! "

Song Huizong said in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, "If all the officials in the world are like Wu Aiqing, why worry that the Song Dynasty is not strong!"

There are many fewer officials in the court, but this is not a problem.

The most indispensable thing in the world is officials.What is lacking is talent.

The people under them are naturally replaced by a large number of middle-level officials.

Wu Zhi said some polite and modest words, and then said: "Your Majesty, the lack of upper-level officials this time, in order for the court to operate in a timely manner, officials need to be promoted as soon as possible."

"Wu Aiqing...is there any suitable candidate? In this way...it's better to leave this matter to Wu Aiqing. You decide who to choose to replace the vacant officials."

Song Huizong nodded.

Then he waited for Wu Zhi to answer.
