Domineering Daming

If it is to check everything, it includes when the imperial concubine in the palace was in Shenlong Mansion, let alone find out anything, even if nothing is found out, if the imperial concubine in the palace has any ideas, just open her mouth. The government will be unable to move an inch!

Li Youtang nodded and said: "I have communicated with the imperial concubine, you just do it."

The old aide was relieved, took a pen and continued to memorize.

Not long after, the Shenlong Mansion quickly launched an anti-corruption operation, before the court, the storm was unprecedentedly violent.

In a Portuguese business house, a team of Yamen servants from Chaco dragged out a Portuguese man with a beard.

The bearded man panicked and said anxiously, "What are you doing? I am Portuguese and I have diplomatic immunity. You are breaking the law!"

Although Chinese is awkward, the meaning is very clear.

Chapter 1514 Anti-corruption without exception

The leading yamen servant looked at the Xiyi man, snorted coldly, and said, "You are suspected of bribery, and the evidence is convincing. You can tell your family members and prepare to hire a lawyer."

The bearded man was immediately discouraged. He has been in Daming for more than ten years. He doesn't know about Daming's officialdom. If you are not arrested, you will be fine.

In the cathedral, a cardinal was brought out, and a group of believers looked on, with indifferent expressions and no intention of interceding.

"You are suspected of rape, raising a girl under the age of 16, accepting bribes, embezzling..."

The cardinal didn't resist at all, and just followed the yamen servant obediently away.

In a silk and satin firm, a middle-aged man was abruptly dragged out by the yamen servants. The proprietress cried and said, "My lord, my lord, we didn't do anything wrong. I beg you to show your respect and let us go..."

The middle-aged man was dragged to the road, and the leading yamen servant stuffed it with a piece of paper, saying: "Your firm is a joint stock company, and now other shareholders have reported that you are suspected of embezzling the legal property of the firm. There are all witnesses and material evidence. This is an arrest warrant." , the prison is at No. 15 Zhengpu Road, you can visit him in two days."

After finishing speaking, the guard directly arrested the person, stuffed him into the carriage, and drove away.

Royal Business Group, Accounting Office.

Here are three large rooms with as many as 60 people, people come and go, busy.

A team of yamen servants from the inspection bureau brought out a section chief. The section chief was limp on the ground and was dragged outside by the yamen servants.

"As you can see, this is Section Chief He. It is said that he and Director He belong to the same family. I didn't expect him to be arrested."

"I heard that he embezzled tens of thousands of taels, smoothed the accounts for others, and was found out..."

"This is a big storm. I don't know how many people will be unlucky."

"It's normal for a new official to take office three times, one as the emperor and one as a courtier, and Mr. Li assuming the position..."

"I guess, these people still don't know where to stand, don't see the direction of the wind clearly, they deserve to be unlucky..."

There was a lot of discussion in the accounting room, and so did the entire Shenlong Mansion. The "anti-corruption campaign" launched by Li Youtang caused a violent shock in the Shenlong Mansion. In just five days, the cells were overcrowded, and more than 1000 people were arrested. by nationality.

The Shenlong Mansion is now very involved, and their actions are quickly reported to all parts of the country. The Anti-Corruption Bureau, the Criminal and Prison Department, etc. have received as many as a hundred requests for cooperation, involving an unknown number of people, all over the country.

At this time, the cabinet minister Zhou Yingqiu was already in Yingtian Mansion, surrounded by many officials including the Criminal and Prison Department, the Ministry of Officials, and the Anti-Corruption Bureau, who were reviewing the collected files. A massive anti-corruption campaign was about to kick off.

There were disturbances inside and outside Daming, but the palace was peaceful.

Near June, Empress Zhang Yun and Concubine Xingzi's confinement was about the same, Zhu Xu stayed with a group of women and children in the palace, quietly left the palace, and went straight to Chengde Mountain Resort.

Logically speaking, June left too early, and the time seemed a little sensitive, but Zhu Xu still left.

It is said to be silent, but there are countless people watching every move in the palace, not to mention such a large formation, how could anyone with a heart not notice it.

The day before Zhu Xu left Beijing, the cabinet had already formulated a detailed plan, especially the Anti-Corruption Bureau's "Sword Operation", and other departments seemed to be cooperating.

Sun Chuanting also specially consulted Wang Zhou of the Law Enforcement Bureau and explained some things to him.

Before the summer harvest, when the hoarded chemical fertilizers, cattle, farm tools, pesticides, etc. were almost cleared, the Anti-Corruption and Integrity Bureau finally took action.

Zhang Lu, director of the Law Enforcement Department, led a group of people into the cabinet building, and a group of people entered the Tongzheng Envoy.

"Deputy Director of the Department of General Affairs, Wang Qingli, you are suspected of corruption and bribery, come with us."

Another team entered the Administrative Department, pasted a piece of paper and said, "Director of the Administrative Department, Liu Xiaoyong, you are suspected of corruption, come with us."

Not long after, a group of people went straight into the council office on the second floor.

"Council members, Zhou Xiang, Qian Xingzhong, Guo Hanshou, come with us!"

The anti-corruption bureau rushed directly into the cabinet to arrest people, which shocked the jaws of countless people.

What is the cabinet, the most senior place in the administration of the Ming Dynasty, the place where the chief assistant sits!

Now that Sun Chuanting's authority is growing, few people dare to provoke him. The Anti-Corruption Bureau actually arrests people directly in the cabinet.

But there was no one in the cabinet to stop them, and those big figures who were usually seen disappeared without a trace.

The Anti-Corruption Bureau arrested more than 20 people in one go in the cabinet building, causing huge waves in the capital.

"Do you think Sun Shoufu has lost his Sacred Heart and is about to fall?"

"It's true what you said. Sun Shoufu has been angry and resented by others in the past few years. I don't know how many people want to eat his flesh and bones. The emperor must be tired of it."

"It may be that the chief assistant did not want to leave. Your Majesty, this is a warning..."

"Yeah, if you leave now, you can save your face and retreat completely. If you don't leave, the emperor may have to use other means."

Rumors spread all over the capital, and some officials even directly wrote a letter, publicly calling on Sun Chuanting to resign and take responsibility for the current chaos.

But the Anti-Corruption Bureau's actions did not stop. The next day, the Anti-Corruption Bureau stationed in many departments directly under the cabinet and began to investigate.These departments are all outside the Daming Gate, and the common people can see them.

What they saw was that people were escorted out of these yamen almost all the time, stuffed into carriages, and sent to the prison in the south of the city.

On the third day, five teams of the Anti-Corruption Bureau entered the fifth department and took away more than 60 people in one go, which shocked everyone!

The Anti-Corruption Bureau is going to heaven!

In just three days, the Anti-Corruption Bureau arrested as many as 12 third-rank officials. These people were all court ministers who almost entered the rank of minister. I don’t know how many people are optimistic about their future appointment to the cabinet. Now, they are all in jail !

On the fourth day, the Prison Division began to move.

After the Ministry of Punishment was downgraded, the Criminal and Prison Division was assigned to the cabinet directly under its jurisdiction.

The first thing a team from the Department of Prisons did was to arrive at the mansion of Sun Chuanting, the chief assistant of the cabinet!

"The butler Liu Fu, the wife-in-law Han Song, the accountant Chen Fudi... you seven, come with us."

The person from the Department of Prisons read the list, expressionless, word for word.

The seven people went out silently, and followed the group of prison guards out of the Sun Mansion, got into the carriage, and left quickly.
