The Ming Dynasty started with caution

All the courts are inspected,

Yan Chengjin noticed something was wrong with the room attendant. The censors were whispering to each other, as if they were eating something.

Could it be that Zhu Houzhao did something else...

Yan Chengjin called Zheng Qian over: "But something happened in the palace?"

Zheng Qian was Yan Chengjin's censor, taking Fang Xue's place.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince read the memorials on behalf of His Majesty. He reviewed twelve pieces of memorials without blinking an eye, and was reprimanded by His Majesty.

But what shocked the palace was the impeachment notice this morning. "

Feng Dao, the chief secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, impeached the imperial censor Shi Daishan. His wife and son accepted bribes, and Dai Shan asked for help.

Yan Chengjin was a little shocked. No wonder he didn't see Dai Shan checking the memorials through the window when he walked through the small courtyard of the duty room.

"Where's Mr. Dai?"

"Still in the Huagai Hall."

Yan Chengjin fell into deep thought. After Dai Shanzhen becomes a scholar, the position of Du Yushi will be vacant.

I wonder if His Majesty will approve it.

In the DPRK, if there are no officials qualified to serve as the censor of the capital, 80% of them will be transferred from Nanzhili.

At this time, the young eunuch came to announce to him: "Master Yan, your Majesty invites you to go to Huagai Hall."

When Yan Chengjin arrived in the main hall, Li Dongyang and three other people came, and there was also an unfamiliar chief clerk, who should be Feng Yan who impeached Dai Shan.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Yan Chengjin: "It's up to you to investigate Dai Shan's impeachment."

Your Majesty's intention is that he is afraid that someone will take sides if it is handed over to Dali Temple or the Ministry of Punishment. This man is brave and cautious, fearing that someone will catch him, so he will definitely be impartial.

The Duchayuan is the yamen in charge of the emperor's ears, eyes, and customs. Isn't this son going to refuse?

Li Dongyang looked at Yan Chengjin, his eyes full of uncertainty.

Liu Jian and others nodded and had no objection.

Yan Chengjin bowed slightly: "I obey your order."

Back to Duchayuan,

Yan Chengjin's face became wary when he met Dai Shan. When Dai Shan took a step forward, he took a step back.

Dai Shan was so angry that she stamped her feet and said, "What are you afraid of? I can't kill you!"

"It's better for me to keep some taboos when investigating Mr. Dai's case," Yan Chengjin said truthfully.

He hoped that Dai Shan would become an official, so that he could be promoted.

Dai Shan knew that with this guy's temperament, he would definitely turn his information upside down.

"Check it out. I am negligent in discipline. If there is really any private bribery, it is because I am not strict in discipline."

Yan Chengjin returned to the duty room and asked Zheng Qian: "I am going to test you. How will you check?"

Zheng Qian thought about it carefully and said uncertainly: "Master Chadai's wife and children, if the accounts are wrong, they have received money."

Yan Chengjin shook his head in disappointment, Zheng Qian panicked, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

I heard that this gentleman is extremely difficult to maintain. If he is not careful, he will be demoted from the capital.

"Let's check Feng Du to see if this person was instigated by others and where did he get the evidence?"

There are historical records that Dai Shan's wife and children did receive money, and he became an official because he could not bear the scolding of civil officials.

Dai Shan sat in the position of the censor of the capital and would not be taken by anyone else. He would be promoted in a few years.

Now that he was impeached, Yan Chengjin suspected that someone had expected it and did not want him to be promoted to the censor of the capital.

Send someone to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to seize the opportunity in advance.

The initial suspicion is that it is Prince Ning.

Recently, he has made a lot of noise in the court, and I have teased him several times...

Zheng Qian wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves: "Sir Yan, the court asked us to check Mr. Dai. What are we... checking Feng's documents for?"

At first glance, this man was not as smart as Fang Xue. What Yan Chengjin really wanted to find out was whether anyone wanted to take advantage of him.

"If Feng Diao is an upright official and there is evidence, then the truth will come to light."

Zheng Qian responded, not understanding it, and hurriedly ran out to investigate.

Dai Mansion,

Dai Shan did not change into her court clothes. She sat in the main hall and looked at his wife Yang coldly.

Yang asked in confusion: "Sir, why is it so early today?"

"I was impeached today for allowing my wife to take bribes!" Dai Shan looked at Yang coldly. She had been interrogating prisoners in the Yamen for a long time, and she knew it at a glance.

Yang chuckled and said, "I am the censor of the capital. Who dares to impeach me?"

"Who dares? Only Yan Chengjin dares!" Dai Shan gritted her teeth and shouted angrily: "Do you really think that I can cover the sky with one hand in court!"

Without much fear, Yang took a few steps forward, hugged him, and took the initiative to carry him up.

Haha, don’t men just like this?

"Yan Chengjin is just the censor under the master. If the master asks him not to investigate, then that's fine.

You are a member of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, how can he not listen to you? "Ms. Yang heard Dai Shan praise this censor.

Dai Shan's shoulders were shaking with anger. She couldn't bear it anymore and slapped her to the ground. She wanted to beat this prodigal woman to death.

"That's Yan Chengjin! Even His Majesty may not listen. I let you get killed!"

This guy seems timid and cautious, but when he gets things done, he never leaves a way out.

It's quite useful when impeaching others.

But when facing him, Dai Shan always felt frightened. He was too familiar with Yan Chengjin.

Yang finally realized that it was serious, burst into tears, hugged Dai Shan's legs, and began to talk about the love between husband and wife.

Dai Shan angrily scolded: "Whose money did you accept?!"

"Head of the Household Department...Wu Yun, how can I afford jewelry with my little salary? The food rations for everyone in the house are not enough..."

Dai Shan had a glimmer of hope at first, but unexpectedly, she actually received the money.

A sharp light shot out of his eyes.

After the imperial court raised the salary by 30%, the monthly salary was already quite a lot, and this bitch was completely defeated!

"Here, bring me a pen and ink, I want to write a letter of divorce!"

…

When Yan Chengjin left the court, he was very careful and specially called Wang Shouren to come for protection.

Who knows if Dai Shan will send someone to silence him?

"Bo'an, long time no see, today I called you here just to catch up."

Wang Shouren showed a suspicious look, every time Brother Gao called him, it was clear that he was here to be a guard.

He even said it so high-soundingly.

"Brother Gao, I heard that you are investigating the case of Mr. Dai?"

Yan Chengjin nodded: "Bo'an, the censor of the Censorate is too stupid, brother is about to tell you, why don't you investigate it?"

If it was Wang Shouren, the truth should be revealed soon.

Wang Shouren said: "I'm afraid it won't work. Liangxiang has accepted many disciples, and I want to give lectures."

With Brother Gao's wisdom, it should be found out soon.

The next morning,

Emperor Hongzhi walked slowly around the palace wall. Xiao Jing was so sleepy that he didn't sleep all night. Now it was his turn to read the memorials. When walking slowly in the morning, he dictated them to Emperor Hongzhi one by one.

"Your Majesty, there is news from the Censorate. Lord Dai's wife did accept bribes."

Emperor Hongzhi turned around, his face pale, and looked at Xiao Jing: "Yan Chengjin found out so quickly?!"

When he heard the news, he was a little shocked.

Yan Chengjin dared to give out the news, so he must have found evidence.

Dai Shan, like Min Gui, was an upright criminal and constitutional minister of the Ming Dynasty. Unexpectedly...

Emperor Hongzhi was a little disappointed.

Xiao Jing raised his eyes and whispered: "It was not Yan Chengjin who found out, but Lord Dai confessed himself."

"..."Emperor Hongzhi.

He didn't want to go on. Since the truth had come out, Dai Shan had to be punished, and he must not keep this official hat.

Yan Chengjin was a little caught off guard. He expected to close the case in ten days or half a month, but he didn't expect that the case would be closed automatically the next day.

He quickly wrote an impeachment memorial and said to Zheng Qian: "Follow me to Fengtian Hall."
