Domineering Daming

The three of them opened their eyes wide and looked at Wang Yuyang in shock.

This was completely different from what they had expected. This chief arrester of the Six Doors appeared out of nowhere, and with a few words, he picked Zhou Yingqiu clean!

The scholar opened his eyes, straightened his body suddenly, and said, "You are officials protecting each other, I, I, I want to sue the imperial court, we want to expose Zhou Yingqiu in front of the emperor, he is a corrupt official!"

Wang Yuyang became more and more convinced that this matter was not easy, and also remembered Liu Shimin's smile from time to time, which always made her feel that it was implying something.

A young girl ran in quickly and whispered in Wang Yuyang's ear, "Fifth sister, their families are all in the south of the Yangtze River, and they don't have any relatives in Beijing."

Wang Yuyang nodded, looked at the three people kneeling on the ground with eyes like swords, and said coldly: "You can carry it if you want, Zhou Shangshu will return to Beijing tomorrow, and wait for him to clean up you at that time. There are his people everywhere, don't think that hiding in the south of the Yangtze River will be all right, hurry up and send a letter back, let the family members escape immediately."

Wang Yuyang didn't care about their struggle to stand up and talk, he waved his hand and said: "Put it down and watch it, the case will be closed tomorrow, and I will send you to Dali Temple to be sentenced for false accusation against important court officials."

"Let's go!" Peony kicked one by one.

The three of them looked at each other, trembling all over, but they insisted on not saying a word.

Shao Yao waited for the three of them to escort away, then turned to Wang Yuyang, and asked suspiciously, "Fifth sister, does the emperor want to protect Zhou Shangshu? Why do you want them to plead guilty?"

Lotus also looked curious, this is not Wang Yuyang's style.

Wang Yuyang sneered, and said: "They underestimated me, the god of the Shuntian Mansion, too! So many people, as promised, all reported to Zhou Shangshu, and each of them seemed to be well-founded, obviously someone We have to deal with Zhou Shangshu behind the scenes! Zhou Shangshu has to be investigated for corruption and bribery, and I have to investigate if someone is behind the scenes! Our six doors are set up by the emperor to investigate major and important cases, not a tool for others to fight for power!"

Shaoyao and Hehua suddenly nodded, and Shaoyao said again: "Then Fifth Sister, what should I do now?"

Wang Yuyang stood up and said confidently: "Go to the official department first, and then to Li's mansion."

The case happened in the Ministry of Officials, Li's family, so naturally they had to go first.

The two had no objection, and followed Wang Yuyang straight to the Ministry of Officials.

The servants of the Ministry of Officials hid, and sent a chief to explain to Wang Yuyang alone.

Not long after, Wang Yuyang frowned and looked at the principal and said, "You mean, these people on the list are determined by the Ministry of Officials, not Zhou Shangshu?"

The head of the Ministry of Officials stood there, raised his hand and said: "This list is seven Lang Zhong, nine Yuanwai Lang, two assistant ministers and Zhou Shangshu. Only then can it go to the Wenzhao Pavilion, then to the Supervisor of Rituals, and finally to the emperor for approval."

Wang Yuyang nodded slightly. It is impossible to say that there are no petty tricks here, but there is no evidence for Zhou Yingqiu's selfishness, so...why does the servant speak so convincingly?

"What about the letters with the governors of various places?" He Hua asked.

The head of the Ministry of Officials said: "This communication with other places, unless it is a private letter, must be recorded by the head of the department. Those that are circulated outside are all recorded by the Ministry of Officials."

Wang Yuyang felt more and more that this case was not easy, it was clearly framed by someone!

"Let's go to Li's Mansion!" Wang Yuyang stood up and said.Her eyes were burning with fighting spirit, but she wanted to see who would use her!

Mrs. Li has also been frowning recently, and has no appetite at all. Seeing Wang Yuyang come to check on his master, she naturally has no good looks at all, and just let a accountant handle it.

In the accounting room, Wang Yuyang frowned after listening to the accountant's words: "You mean, in addition to the imperial court's salary, there is another subsidy in the imperial palace called 'high salary to support low income'?"

Chapter 505 Believe in the king and seek rebellion?

The accountant is an old man in his 60s, stroking his beard and nodding: "That's right, now the court doesn't distribute food, it's all in silver bills. In addition to the monthly salary of 270 taels, our master also has a 1000 taels of 'care money' every year. In addition, the Zhou family subscribed for [-] hectares of reclaimed land in Liaodong. Our Zhou family is responsible for recruiting people to reclaim these lands. The court will give three taels of silver per mu. At present, [-] hectares have been reclaimed. This is how the money outside the account book comes from. of."

"Reclaim land?" Wang Yuyang was startled, and said, "Is this a task assigned by the imperial court? Or Zhou Shangshu volunteered?"

The accountant said: "It can't be considered apportionment. This is the method that Fu Shangshu thought of. It is used to reclaim the wasteland in Liaodong and resettle the victims in the southwest. At present, it is only on a small scale. Our master said that next year we will inform the world to encourage the reclamation of Liaodong."

Wang Yuyang knew about the drought in Daming in recent years, nodded slightly, and said, "Then, does Zhou Shangshu have any other harvest?"

The accountant was startled, then looked around and said, "No."

Wang Yuyang understood, his eyes turned cold, he stood up against the case, and said, "Go, go back and interrogate those three people!"

She figured it out, Liu Shimin clearly knew all of this, asking her to investigate was not only to clear Zhou Yingqiu's innocence, but also to find out who was behind the scenes!

This might involve a fight among court officials, but this made her more excited.

Wang Yuyang walked out of Zhou Yingqiu's mansion, and just after walking a few steps, he suddenly said to Shaoyao and Mudan behind him: "You two who are going to the Ministry of Criminal Transfer, go to the Ministry of Officials and Li's Mansion every time the incense burns, and then send the Our people put on their clothes and pushed out with their faces covered, the more noise the better."

Shaoyao has also been trained a lot by Wang Yuyang recently, upon hearing this, she said, "Fifth Sister, are you trying to startle the snake?"

Wang Yuyang hummed twice and said, "Lead the snake out of the hole!"

Shao Yao understood, and said: "Okay, I'll do it now!"

As soon as Shaoyao and Peony left, Hehua looked at Wang Yuyang and said softly, "Fifth Sister, I know one thing. I don't know if it's useful or not?"

Wang Yuyang said as he walked, "Tell me."

He Hua said: "I heard that many people impeached Zhou Shangshu recently, can we check it out from these people?"

Wang Yuyang's eyes lit up, and he said, "Let's go, go to the Rites Supervisor to find Eunuch Liu, and ask him to give you a list. It would be even better if you can see the memorial."

Lotus nodded lightly and said, "Okay."

The two entered the Xihua Gate, one went back to the six gates, and the other ran to the Supervisor of Rituals.

Wang Yuyang immediately interrogated those three people. The three people seemed to have figured out something. They were very calm, and they were not surprised or afraid when they saw Wang Yuyang.

Wang Yuyang sat there, with a majestic face and sharp eyes, and said: "I know that you must be waiting for the people behind you to save you, but don't think about it, the emperor doesn't know when he will return to Beijing, and the king has no right to appoint or dismiss you." Minister of the Ministry of Officials, therefore, if the emperor does not return to Beijing, you will have no room to stand up for a day, and tomorrow, Shang Shu Zhou will return to Beijing. If he wants to punish you, you will not survive for a long time..."

Before Wang Yuyang finished speaking, the expressions of the three of them changed, and they all looked at each other. Finally, the eyes of the other two fell on the scholar.

There was a hint of anxiety on the scholar's face, but he pretended to be calm and said: "We are suing, and we have evidence, even Zhou Shangshu can't do anything to us!"

Wang Yuyang sneered and said, "I hope you are lucky with this one. Zhou Shangshu is really a good man who can row a boat in his stomach."

All three of them frowned. There are no good people in the world, especially officials. One of them is Zhou Yingqiu's nephew, the other is a servant, and the other is a student. If Zhou Yingqiu cannot be brought down, with Zhou Yingqiu's power, they will die!

But the people who promised them have more benefits, and they have to take a gamble even if they try to kill their heads!

So all three of them remained silent.

Wang Yuyang sneered more and more, and said: "You think I can't find out if you don't speak. I just need to find out who you are friends with and who you have been close to recently, and I can also find out who is behind your scenes! Since your master behind the scenes uses This way of dealing with Zhou Shangshu means that he is not strong enough, and when Zhou Shangshu returns to the capital, he will have to lose himself first!"

The faces of the three changed in unison. They were relying on the people behind them. They also knew that Zhou Yingqiu was now in a high position and had won the emperor's favor. In the field, without power and power!

The three of them panicked and looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Wang Yuyang sat there with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The three of them looked at each other for a while, and suddenly the servant yelled: "My lord, I was forced. They said that if I don't agree, they will confiscate my land and send my father to prison! I have no other choice." ..."

As soon as the family Ding opened his mouth, the nephew also quickly shouted: "My lord, they said, if I do what they said, I will be given an official position and let me be the magistrate of Yangzhou Prefecture!"

The two men made a move, and the scholar who wanted to resist had no choice but to grit his teeth and said: "My lord, they promised me that as long as I do it well, I will be the second place in the imperial examination next year!"
