Domineering Daming

Wang Shunding is upright, but he is not stupid. If he really wants to be reckless, he will go to check the water transportation, and he will be torn to pieces.He looked at Zhong Yu and said: "My lord, why don't you ask Master Zhou to investigate, Master Zhou is sharp and vigilant, and he may have a way."

Zhong Yuzheng thought about it, looked up at him, and said: "Okay, I will leave this matter to Zhou Shilang."

Wang Shunding agreed, left the room, looked up at the sky with stern eyes, and said to himself: "I will use Zhou Yingqiu's hand to follow the vines and see how tricky the water transportation is!"

After Zhou Yingqiu finished his drink, he staggered into the mansion.

"Master, you're back, why did you drink so much?" Madam Zhou supported Zhou Yingqiu with a concerned look on her face.

Although Zhou Yingqiu drank a lot, his mind was very clear, and he smiled redly and said, "Is there a document from the yamen?"

Mrs. Zhou was even more surprised, and said: "How did the master know that the yamen of the Ministry of Industry sent people to look for you several times but failed to find you. Not long ago, the document came directly."

Zhou Yingqiu came to the study room, half-lyed on the chair, looked at the documents from the Ministry of Industry, squinted his eyes drunk, and said, "Ma'am, you don't know that my Lord Shangshu likes to be a hands-off shopkeeper, and he doesn't seem to care about anything. , in fact, the Ministry of Industry is watching very closely, not allowing the slightest mistake to be in his hands. That Mr. Wang seems to be upright and unsmiling, but his methods are surprisingly powerful. He is a husband in the Ministry of Industry, but in fact he has no real power. , but this time, uh...they can't let them!"

Mrs. Zhou looked at Zhou Yingqiu in a state of drunkenness, supported him and said, "Master, you drank too much, why don't you go to sleep and talk about it when you wake up tomorrow."

"Are you awake?" Zhou Yingqiu stood up staggeringly, and said with a smile: "You ask the housekeeper to draw up a leave letter and send it to the Ministry of Works, and just say that I am sick. Don't wake me up tomorrow, and who else will come?" gone."

Mrs. Zhou didn't know what happened to Zhou Yingqiu, but she also knew that there was nothing to ask at this time, so she agreed and helped him into the bedroom.

Early the next morning, Wang Shunding came to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.

"Has Minister Zhou come?" He asked the yamen servant while putting down his hat.

The yamen servant stood at the door and said, "Master Zhou, Mr. Zhou is sick, and just asked his family to send a leave note."

Wang Shunding paused, turned to look at him and said, "Sick? What's wrong with you?"

"It is said that I occasionally feel the wind and cold and need to stay in bed for a few days." The yamen servant said.

Wang Shunding's face darkened, he couldn't figure out what Zhou Yingqiu was thinking, it was nothing more than knowing that he had nowhere to turn, so he called his illness to avoid it.

Wang Shunding's face remained unchanged, and he said: "Come here, pass on the word, that Mr. Zhong and I are both sick, and Zhou Shilang will be in charge of all the affairs of the Ministry of Industry."

The yamen servant was startled, and said, "It's my lord."

"Wait." Wang Shunding held the yamen servant who was about to leave, and said in a deep voice, "Spread the news and let everyone in the capital know."

The yamen servant looked at Wang Shunding for a moment, and said, "It's my lord."

Chapter 120

Zhong Yuzheng and Wang Shunding "fell ill", and the news that the Ministry of Industry had handed over the matter to the servant Zhou Yingqiu spread wildly in the capital. At the same time, Guan Yingzhen entangled more than 50 people, and a group of people joined by Qian Qianyi, there were [-] people. Several memorials were sent to the cabinet.

Naturally, the cabinet cannot decide on such a big matter, and the bill will be sent to the palace after it is drafted.

After Si Li supervised it, he approved the red and sent it to Zhu Youxiao's imperial desk.

After Zhu Youxiao read the papers, he directly issued an order to the Ministry of Industry, ordering the Ministry of Industry to conduct a thorough investigation.

Lying on the "sick bed", Zhou Yingqiu looked at the imperial decree sent by the officials of the Ministry of Industry, his face was pale, and he coughed weakly: "Okay, I know, I will go back to the Yamen for trial as soon as possible."

"Your Excellency, I'll take your leave." The guard clasped his fists and turned to leave.

Mrs. Zhou came in and said worriedly: "Master, what's going on? It's been rumored outside, and the affairs of the Ministry of Industry are now entrusted to you."

Zhou Yingqiu's face was not flushed at the moment, and he sat up and put on his shoes while sneering: "It's nothing more than hiding right and wrong, and they will regret it after a while."

"Bring me my official uniform." Zhou Yingqiu stood up with a serious look on his face, as if preparing for a big fight.

While taking out his official uniform, Mrs. Zhou said uncomfortably: "Master, are they plotting against you again? Or let's not take this matter, and they are still behind you by pretending to be sick."

Zhou Yingqiu's eyes were cold, and he said: "Last time I resigned because I didn't have the confidence, not because I didn't have enough means. This time, I have the holy decree at my hands and the empress backing me. , Someone will carry it!"

"Okay." Zhou Yingqiu put on his clothes and said to his wife: "After I leave, close the door tightly. Anyone who comes, tell them, um, let's just say that I have just joined the Ministry of Labor, and I have no real power yet. Do things for them."

Mrs. Zhou has been with Zhou Yingqiu for a long time, and she can be regarded as a wise person. She was startled when she heard the words, and felt that there was something hidden in Zhou Yingqiu's words. Before she could ask clearly, Zhou Yingqiu had already opened the door and walked out.

As soon as Zhou Yingqiu arrived at the Ministry of Industry, officials of all sizes from the yamen of the Ministry of Industry, doctors, Yuanwailang, principals, and servants from all ministries gathered together, as if they had been waiting for him.

"I have seen Lord Zhou."

As soon as Zhou Yingqiu entered, a group of people stood up and bowed to worship.

Zhou Yingqiu was also a person with a long history of officialdom, but he had never seen such a scene of him being treated like this. The corners of his face twitched, and he immediately sat down on the main seat, looking at this group of people indifferently.

The Lang Zhong of the Camp Division glanced at the others, took a step forward, and said, "My lord, the imperial decree has been issued, Lord Zhong and Lord Wang are not here, please make a final decision."

Zhou Yingqiu knew that he was the most powerful right now, and after this time, he might not be able to mobilize the entire Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.

He said with a look of embarrassment: "The report of the officials and others is generally to impeach our Ministry of Industry for privately building ships, embezzlement and bribery, lax approval and disorderly water transportation. Well, everyone, this official has just joined the Ministry of Industry. , is there any example to follow?"

The doctor of the camp repair department also looked very embarrassed, and said: "My lord, it has never happened before."

Zhou Yingqiu nodded, and said again: "Then what do you think we should do to settle this matter?"

Everyone kept silent, no one wanted to touch such a bad thing.

The Langzhong of Dushuiqing Lisi looked around calmly, and said with a rather difficult look: "My lord, I believe that the current priority is to check the interior of our Ministry of Industry, and we must not give anyone the handle. The other is the water transportation. The ship must be disposed of as soon as possible, and other government offices cannot seize it, otherwise it will be a criminal evidence of our Ministry of Industry."

"That's right, what Master Yao said is that no one can be caught!"

A group of people agreed one after another, water transportation is a piece of fat, and the entire Ministry of Industry is rarely involved.No one wants to be involved in this matter, it is best to get rid of it completely.

Zhou Yingqiu frowned and fell silent.

The corners of Yao Tianrao's lips turned up slightly, he stepped forward eagerly, and said anxiously: "My lord, there is no need to hesitate any longer! The emperor has issued a decree on this matter, once the Ministry of Punishment or Dongchang, Jin Yiwei takes the lead, we will be finished! "

Hearing Yao Tianrao's words "it's over", everyone's hearts were terrified. This is over not only the loss of official positions, but also the loss of most of their lives.

"My lord, don't hesitate any longer!"

"Yes, my lord, now everything in the Ministry of Industry is in your hands!"

"My lord, you have just arrived, but my wealth and life are all on this matter!"

Snapped!

Zhou Yingqiu slammed the table, stood up, and said loudly, "Okay, pass on my order!"

A group of people were excited, and immediately said: "The next official is here!"

"The Cleaning Department is responsible for checking all the account books, approval documents, and letters of the Ministry of Industry. If there are any flaws, notify them immediately, and they will be invalidated and need to be re-examined. Otherwise, the shipping qualification will be revoked, and Pianfan will not be allowed to leave the port!"

"It's my lord!" Du Shuiqing Lisi Langzhong responded loudly.

"The Department of Cleaning Up Officials, immediately send people to all the docks in the capital to check all the passing ships. If there are any violations and regulations, they will be rectified on the spot. If they do not comply, they will be impounded immediately!"
