Domineering Daming

"Eunuch, give me peace in Nanjing!"

"We, we smashed this damn governor's office!"

There are six original ministers, ministers, and censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, each of which can be said to have held high positions in Wanli and the Apocalypse Dynasty.

Huang Liji listened indifferently, motionless.

Li Kuilong stood behind Huang Liji and let the group of people shout.If you really want to just break in, the guards in their government office are not vegetarian!

This group of people was just clamoring and didn't really break through.

Not long after, Wang Yongguang came.

He was originally Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, and the imperial court planned to transfer him to Wenzhao Pavilion.

He took the garrison guarding the city and strode forward to separate this group of people from the governor's office.

Wang Yongguang stood at the front and shouted in a deep voice: "Gather a crowd to make trouble, break into the governor's office by force, do you want to rebel?"

At the front is an old minister in his 80s. He pointed at Wang Yongguang with a trembling right hand, and said with a look of anger and sorrow: "Wang Yongguang, you are a slave to a tiger, and you have become a running dog of the eunuchs. Help them If you harm Nanjing and destroy the foundation of Taizu, aren't you afraid that history books will be like knives, and will be stigmatized for thousands of years!"

Wang Yongguang snorted coldly, and said: "You disrespect the emperor, disobey the court, and attack the governor's office, none of which should be my legacy! Now I'm giving you one last chance, leave immediately, and don't gather people to make trouble without authorization. Otherwise, they will all be sent to the prison!"

A group of people whispered to each other that Dongchang has been arresting vendors in Nanzhili recently, and many were arrested and few were released.Anyone who knows about this organization feels cold.

"Hmph, even if we die a hundred times, we will never join forces with the eunuchs!"

"That's right, the eunuchs must not be allowed to succeed!"

"Wang Yongguang is also an eunuch, we will fight with the eunuch!"

Someone took the lead, and suddenly the crowd was raging. They rushed towards Wang Yongguang, Huang Liji and others, and they were about to hit them with punches.

Wang Yongguang's expression sank, and he shouted: "Stop, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

But the excited crowd couldn't hear Wang Yongguang's words.

The corners of Wang Yongguang's face twitched, and he ordered: "I will arrest all of you and put them in jail!"

As soon as Wang Yongguang finished speaking, the surrounding soldiers rushed forward, punching and kicking. Anyone who resisted was knocked to the ground, even the seventies and eighties were pinned to the ground.

Amid the screams of this group of people, he was forcibly escorted by Dongchang to the prison in Yingtianfu.

The imperial prison rebuilt in the East Factory is now overcrowded.

An hour later, Zhenfu Prison's torture room.

Every big businessman with a name and surname in Jiangsu, each one of them was extremely miserable. After paying enough "integrity deposit", they came to the escrow room, wrote a confession letter, and promised to go to Yingtianfu or the governor's office for business approval on the same day. , resume business as soon as possible.

Almost at the same time, a series of high-ranking officials from Jiangsu, including the Provincial Sansi Yamen, Cao Qincheng as the presiding judge, King Jing as the supervisor, Governor Huang Liji, Li Kuilong as the right political adviser, Fu Zonglong as the governor, and some officials from the former Nanjing, amounted to nearly a hundred people. Accompanying them together, the trial of the case of Baoguogong and others inciting the strike and plotting against the law, not far from the governor's yamen, the newly built Sansi yamen, the trial began!

When Zhu Guobi walked into the hall, he was in good condition, without any criminal injuries, but his eyes were in a trance, the corners of his mouth trembled, and his legs trembled as he walked in, as if he had been greatly frightened.

Deng Wenyu, Tang Guozuo and others were the same, trembling all over, with frightened eyes, and slow and cautious steps.

Tian Ergeng, who was not qualified to come in, could only stand outside, looked at the backs of the three people, looked at the three people with disgust on his face, and said to himself: "I have never seen such a soft bone!"

This is not to be blamed on Tian Ergeng. In fact, most of the Eunuchs dealt with before were the Donglin Party, which forced Wei Zhongxian to go to prison for punishment. Which one can be weak?

Cao Qincheng looked at the three people who came in, slapped the gavel, and shouted: "Zhu Guobi, Tang Guozuo, Deng Wenyu, are you guilty?"

Although Zhu Guobi was afraid and apprehensive, he still didn't lose his mind. He gritted his teeth and looked at Cao Qincheng and said, "I did instigate officials and merchants to go on strike. It was just because I was dissatisfied with the newly established governor's yamen. I didn't intend to do anything wrong or disrespect the emperor!"

Tang Guozuo and Deng Wenyu were even worse than Zhu Guobi. Hearing this, he quickly continued: "Yes, Mr. Cao, we are only waiting to vent our personal anger, and we are not disrespecting the emperor. Please be careful."

King Jing, Huang Liji, Fu Zonglong and others looked at each other and shook their heads secretly.These three people really lost the face of Daming Xungui, but anyway, the three of them have not lost their minds, and know what to admit and what not to admit.

Hearing that Zhu Guobi had just confessed his guilt, there was a buzz of discussion in the lobby.They were all former Nanjing officials, and they had guessed that it was the nobles who were unwilling to make trouble behind, but they never expected that it would be Zhu Guobi, the Duke of Baoguo.

"Snapped!"

Cao Qincheng slapped the gavel again, and shouted: "Quiet."

The group of people fell silent immediately, and all looked at Cao Qincheng.

Cao Qincheng was expressionless, looking like Bao Qingtian, picked up a piece of paper full of names on the table, and said: "Look, these names are all true? Are they all concatenated by you, are there any untrue or omissions?" ?”

The case teacher came quickly, picked it up and handed it to Zhu Guobi.

Zhu Guobi took it over, suppressed his fear and worry about the future, looked at it seriously for a while, his eyes flickered slightly, looked up at Cao Qincheng and said, "My lord, it's all true, and there are... more than a dozen omissions."

Cao Qincheng's expression moved slightly, and he sneered in his heart. This father-in-law is going all out to save his life.

When Deng Wenyu heard this, he quickly said: "My lord, I have mine too, and I would like to take the blame and make meritorious service."

Tang Guozuo immediately rushed forward and said: "My lord, there are still people who want to make trouble, and I will sue first!"

Chapter 372 The Great Drought Is Coming

Zhu Guobi, Tang Guozuo, and Deng Wenyu rushed to report to each other, so that the supervisor and jury were quite surprised, and secretly shook their heads and sneered.

Cao Qincheng was not surprised, he slapped the gavel and said, "Bring paper and pen!"

Zhu Guobi also did not expect that Tang Guozuo and Deng Wenyu would be so boneless, clamoring to sue, which put him in an extremely embarrassing situation.

But when the words came to this point, Zhu Guobi had no other choice, his face was hot, he gritted his teeth and took the pen and paper, without a desk, he just lay down on the ground and wrote.

Deng Wenyu and Tang Guozuo followed suit, lying on the ground, writing names stroke by stroke.

The presiding judge, supervisor, and jury were surrounded by more than a hundred people. Seeing such a funny scene, they couldn't help laughing secretly.

Most of them were dissatisfied with these three people's dominance in Nanjing, and they were secretly happy to see the three people in a state of desperation.

The three of them finished writing very quickly, they understood the situation, so they had no secrets, and each wrote more than ten names.

Cao Qincheng took a look and looked surprised. Many of them were nominated and appointed by the governor's yamen after being screened by the East Factory, and they were sitting aside now.

Cao Qincheng handed over the three lists to King Jing, and Prince Jing also changed his expression. Many of the appointments of them need the approval of the Ministry of Officials. The memorial is probably already in the Superintendent of Ceremonies!

King Jing Zhu Luhu put a sullen face, put the paper into his bosom, and asked Cao Qincheng to continue the interrogation.

The so-called "conspiracy to commit crimes" and "conspiracy against the law" are nothing but hats, and the real verdict still needs to be based on real evidence, so as to silence the public.

Zhu Guobi, the Duke of Baoguo, pleaded guilty, and the number of people arrested in Dongchang expanded rapidly. More than 300 people were involved in the case in Jiangsu, and there were more than [-] illegal traders!

Following Bao Guogong's confession, hundreds of people were arrested, especially dozens of people were sentenced to "guard the border", which was actually a disguised execution.This caused the entire boiling Jiangsu to be splashed with cold water and calm down instantly.

In the deserted streets, vendors opened their doors one after another, and the big families with closed doors became lively. On the Qinhuai River, flower boats in twos and threes floated out of hidden corners.
