Nongmen Fu's wife and the whole family are villains

household department.The clerk said beside him: "Master Shangshu, the deputy commander of the imperial guards came here with the badge of the Queen's Empress. Isn't it inappropriate for us not to give him face? If we sue the Queen's Lady, our entire household department will be punished." I can't finish eating and walk around."

"I have sent someone to inquire. The person holding the token is the Queen's Empress's younger sister, Miss Lu from Huiguo. People from Huiguo want to interfere in our Fenglinguo's internal affairs. What's the reason? Besides Now, there is a war on the border, and there are many fewer merchants from other places. Fenglinguo's fabrics cannot be sold, so of course, there is no way to give Sang Nong a good price. The treasury is empty, and the official collected it at the lowest price. There are so many cocoons, even if the empress is dissatisfied, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are on our side."

"That Second Miss Lu has a bad reputation."

"No matter how bad her reputation is, is it possible that she dared to break into our household? If so, then the official will have to ask the empress, when will Fenglinguo's internal affairs need to be instructed by people from Huiguo? Could it be that she looks at the emperor? If you're not here, do you want people from Huiguo to replace Fenglinguo officials? If that's the case, then the Empress Dowager has sinister intentions!"

There was a loud noise from outside.

A handyman from the household department hurried in.

"My lord, it's not good. There are many mulberry farmers outside."

Hubu Shangshu frowned: "There are many mulberry farmers around? Why?"

"They said that the adults embezzled their silver." The handyman said cautiously.

"Those untouchables dare to make trouble! How many people are there? They are all arrested and thrown into the prison of the Criminal Ministry." The Minister of the Household Department said coldly.

"Maybe the Ministry of Criminal Justice can't fit in the prison." The handyman said, "There are too many people, and the small ones didn't count how many people. It is estimated that there are hundreds of mulberry farmers, and there is a trend of more and more."

"So much?" The scribe next to him panicked. "My lord, what should I do?"

"What are you panicking about?" Hubu Shangshu said, "I will go out and have a look in person."

The door opened, Hubu Shangshu looked at the densely packed heads in front of him, his sparse eyebrows trembled.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't imagine the scene of hundreds of people besieging the household department.

"Are you trying to rebel?" The Minister of the Household Department said coldly, "This is the official office of the Household Department. If you surround this place, don't you want to be caught in a prison?"

"We just want justice."

"Yes! How can Baihe Village take the same cocoon at the previous year's price, and our price doesn't even qualify for soup?"

"We must give us an explanation today."

Tobe Shangshu's face was ugly.

Originally, Baihe Village gave a high price, and he was very unhappy, but there was no way for Second Miss Lu to intervene, so he just took it as a face for her, and never thought that there would be such a big trouble waiting for him.

"Who said that the silkworm cocoons in Baihe Village are the same as yours? Their silkworm cocoons are high-quality goods, but your silkworm cocoons are just so-so. If we can take them away, it is already a way for you to survive." Hubu Shangshu said.

"Baihe Village is right next door to our village. We know best what their cocoons look like."

"That's right, you don't want to lie to us."

Hubu Shangshu was impatient: "There are regulations on the quality and price. If you are not convinced, then hand over better cocoons. Now that you are causing trouble here, let the people from the Ministry of Justice arrest you all."

"Shangshu of the Household Department is corrupt and perverts the law, even the people's hard-earned money." A sharp voice sounded from the crowd.

The people who were besieging there made way for Lu Zhiqing and the imperial guards behind her to ride over.

"I have the empress' token in my hand, and the empress has confessed to me, allowing me to behead first and then act later, and take care of the world's injustice."

"You are from Huiguo, so you can't control the affairs of our Fenglinguo."

Lu Zhiqing looked at the common people: "He said I'm not qualified to manage, what do you think?"

"Second Miss Lu is the empress's younger sister, and she has the token of the empress in her hand. You are not qualified to control who is qualified?"

"Yes."

"I beg Second Miss Lu to give us justice."

Lu Zhiqing looked at the Minister of the Household Department: "It seems that I am more popular than you. So what if you are an official of Fenglinguo, sucking their blood, eating their flesh, and telling them not to cry is simply a big joke .”

"Their silkworm cocoons are not good enough. That's because there is a problem with their goods. Our household department is not a shantang. How can we give them the high prices of previous years? Besides, the border is still fighting and the treasury is empty. If you are really for the border For the sake of soldiers, you should not think about this little benefit, but should think about the overall situation."

"You mean to say that you are thinking about the soldiers on the border?"

"of course."

The people looked at each other in blank dismay.

When it came to the war on the border, they hesitated a little.

It is true that there are constant wars on the border, and it is true that the national treasury is empty. Perhaps they really shouldn't care about these gains and losses.

It's just that the price they gave was really too low, and there was no way for them to make ends meet.

"Fart!" Lu Zhiqing snorted, "Did you deliver the goods to the Textile Pavilion without any greed?"

"No."

"Okay, then let the Metropolitan Procuratorate investigate this matter." Lu Zhiqing said, "Deputy Commander, take down the Minister of the Household Department and hand it over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple for a thorough investigation."

"You are not qualified to take action against court officials."

"He said I'm not qualified, what do you think?"

"Second Miss Lu replaced the common people to uphold justice. You are not qualified, who is qualified?"

"I'm the Minister of the Household Department!" The Minister of the Household Department was unwilling, "Little yellow-haired girl, this is not your Huiguo. You idiots are actually the begging dogs of the Huiguo people!"

"Now Huiguo and Fenglinguo are working together to deal with the ambitious Liangguo, but some officials actually alienate us. What does this mean? He is most likely a spy sent by Liangguo just to make us Fenglinguo The country is in turmoil, making us Fenglinguo and Huiguo alienated. Common people, how should we deal with such treacherous people?"

"Investigate this person thoroughly and never tolerate it."

"Investigate this person thoroughly and never tolerate it."

With the imperial guards at his side, a civil servant, Minister of the Household Department, could not resist even if he wanted to.No matter how much he yelled, people's hearts were with Lu Zhiqing, and no one paid any attention to his yelling.

What is worrying now is the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

How can such a case be tried?

When the Metropolitan Procuratorate was frowning, Lu Zhiqing directly decided to interrogate him.

The Minister of the Household Department had conclusive evidence that he was full of private pockets, so he was dismissed as an official and sent to death row.And the gold and silver treasures in his mansion, isn't he worried that the treasury is empty?Then put it all in the treasury.

After the Minister of the Household Department was sentenced, the officials under the Household Department took the account books and went to the village to replenish the money they should have received.
