Chapter 618 Why?

"Hmm?" Si Haochen really couldn't think of what Zhang Jinliang could do that secret guards could not do, "What tools?"

"Ahem, it's the tool to harm a woman." Oh, why do you need to explain this kind of thing? Although you don't have psychological burdens as a doctor, you're still a little embarrassed.

"..."Okay, Prince Yun completely understood the purpose of Eunuch Zhang this time. I have to say that it is really hard for his wife to come up with the word "tool of crime".

After about ten days, the three judicial departments arrived. The lineup was quite strong - the Minister of Justice, the Censor of the Censor, and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Although they were all deputy positions in each yamen, even in the imperial capital, the three officials were the ones who were judged.

The people from the Three Laws also secretly ignored it - I heard that Xunzhou was suffering from severe floods and starvation were everywhere. Along the way, although the farmland was a little declining and the official road was not flat, it was really not devastated.

At least, most of the farmlands are farmed by farmers, and many landslide sections are being repaired - not to mention the clear rivers and the seas, there is still a peaceful life.

When a few people arrived at Xunzhou Prefecture and handed over the witnesses, evidence, testimonies, and a bunch of bills from the Xunzhou Prefecture's corruption case with His Highness Yun, they completely understood that this prosperous post-disaster reconstruction scene was piled up with silver.

His Highness Prince Yun did not interfere in the case investigation, and also handed all the evidence he collected to the Three Justices without reservation. He had no intention of "greed for merit" at all. He was really arrogant. It was just those bills, which was too big.

When the victims return home, they will be punished with thirty taels of money when they observe in the camp for seven days and confirm that there are no symptoms of the epidemic. Those who are willing to settle down on the spot will also be given money to buy a house and resume production.

Build bridges, build roads, clear rivers, and pay money!

Get a house, build a village, level the farmland, and pay money!

As long as you actively participate in post-disaster reconstruction, you can get a lot of money. Of course, all kinds of disaster relief supplies such as grain, medicinal materials, cotton cloth, building materials, etc. from compradors in various states are also a considerable expense.

His Highness Prince Yun also dispatched skilled craftsmen from his fiefdom, and he was very courageous to dig canals around Xunzhou City, and then rebuilt the river channel to connect the surrounding prefectures. After the opening of this Grand Canal, it will not only solve the floods in Xunzhou, but also develop shipping, which can be said to be beneficial to the country and the people.

The three law officials looked at the thick stack of bills, and their hearts were very cold in the hot summer weather in the south of the Yangtze River. The emperor hurriedly sent them to investigate the case, naturally trying to put the money Cheng Taishou had greedy and the property of the wealthy families into the state treasury.

However, before the trial of the case began, Prince Yun squandered the tens of millions of taels of silver that had been seized so much that he was left with only a little scum.

The Censor Zhongcheng was planning to make a copy of Prince Chanyun. Prince Yun’s silver was "taken from the people and used for the people"... If you don’t participate, it’s hard for the emperor to explain.

Chu Chenzhou, the young minister of Dali Temple, was flipping through the bills and giving the prince a thumbs up. You have been able to spend all your money in the past ten days, and everything is arranged clearly. I admire you.

"Well, Lord Zhao, Lord Zheng, Dali Temple is good at trialing cases, so I will be responsible for interrogating the criminals in custody." Chu Chenzhou gathered the files and handed them over to the nearby servant.

"Well, our Ministry of Justice is responsible for conviction." The Minister of Justice also realized that the most difficult thing in this case was the money that was seized. He took the evidence and testimony on the table in front of him. "Mr. Chu, let's go there to discuss the case. I think we will first interrogate several Xunzhou Chamber of Commerce, and then..."

The Minister of Justice clamped the evidence and testimony under his armpit and reached out to put his hand on Chu Shaoqing's shoulder. The two of them walked out while discussing the trial process.

The Censor Zhongcheng looked at the table full of "copywriting" and only the book of the confiscated property and the bill of Prince Yun's "squandered", and secretly grinded his teeth: These two raped foxes!

Although the account check and impeachment are the censors' special skills, he is now in a position to investigate - Prince Yun spent almost all his money; he could not participate - he dared not provoke Prince Yun...

The victims were displaced and lost their relatives due to floods and plagues. Most of them were not afraid of life and death and were very irritable. Prince Yun finally comforted him with money. If he dared to say that Prince Yun was wrongly "comfortable", wouldn't he be eaten alive by the victims immediately?

After thinking about it, the Censor Zhongcheng remembered something and hurriedly said to the nearby servant: "Go and find Eunuch Zhang."

"Yes." The nearby servant looked around the government office, but couldn't find Eunuch Zhang. He asked the yamen runners, saying that he didn't live in the government office.

The close servant had no choice but to 'save the country in a curve': "Then do you know where Prince Yun?"

"His Royal Highness Prince Yun lives in the Principal Building." The yamen runner knew very well.

"Thank you." The nearby servant asked about the location of the Zhuangyuan Building and went to find it.

When I entered the door, I saw a man dressed in a guard and a man in a gray robe and a feather duster sitting together eating fennel beans. The two sat on a small stool, and on the high stool in the middle, there was a large plate of fennel beans. In front of the guard, a bowl of tea and a bowl of rice wine in front of the strange-shaped person. The two were happy to eat, and they even touched a cup, looking like they were good to both brothers.

The closest servant really couldn't connect this very down-to-earth person with Eunuch Zhang who usually looked at the road with his nostrils. However, the eunuch's unique face and appearance were not necessary, so he told him that it was Eunuch Zhang.

"Good Zhang Gong's Security." The closest servant stepped forward to salute, "The young one is the servant of the Chief Censor Zhao. The emperor has given you an oral order. I would like to ask you to go to the government office."

"Okay." Eunuch Zhang raised his hand to clean up his clothes and smiled at Shiwu kindly, "We'll go to the government office to have a trip. If the prince asks, please ask the guards of Shiwu to tell us."

"Don't worry, go..." Shiwu nodded with a smile, and added the second half of the sentence in his heart - you have thought too much, the master can't remember you at all...

When Eunuch Zhang went to the government office, the Censor General passed on the emperor's oral decree. It was said that it was an oral decree, but in fact, it was more reliable to say "speak out".

The emperor read Shi Zhongcheng's "memorial" and was very angry. Before leaving, the Censor Zhongcheng passed on a reprimanding Eunuch Zhang. The emperor's original intention was to read Shi Zhongcheng, proving that he valued his opinions very much, so that he could work harder for his own use and send more news back to the imperial capital.

There is a tacit understanding between Eunuch Zhang and the emperor. If you scold Eunuch Zhang in public, it means the opposite. Scolding privately means that the emperor is really dissatisfied with him and asked him to act carefully.

The Censor Zhongcheng was also kind-hearted and felt that it was too much to slap Eunuch Zhang in the face, so he privately passed the emperor's "oral order" to be sold to Eunuch Zhang.

But Eunuch Zhang was really confused now. What did the emperor mean? He was scolded for singing opposite Prince Yun, that is - everything was done according to Prince Yun's wishes? But why?
