Master Jin smiled and said, "First use the delaying strategy, and do not interrogate Mi Yuanwai for the time being, and order Luo Qianhu to send Jinyiwei to put him under house arrest in Qianhui and strictly guard him. At the same time, continue to check from the periphery to find out whether the middle-aged man with Mi Yuanwai and whether it is related to the rest of Jianwen's party. If so, it would be best. The adults can be confident and be sure to win."

"Whether there is any relationship or not, the adults must write the case of Mi Yuanwai, the governor of Quan, and the prefect Tan as a secret report. It will be reported to the commander Ji Gang through the eight hundred miles of the Huguang Jinyiwei, and he will report it to the emperor for the decision. The adults wait for news and act according to the order, and then they will be foolproof."

"High! It's really high!" Yang Qiuchi laughed loudly, imitating the appearance of a pseudo-in-arms officer in "Tunnel Warfare", and praised with his thumbs up.

Although I could think of this method, without Master Jin's analysis, I would not dare to make any ideas easily. I thought that if these two masters help me out for advice in the future, I would not make the same low-level mistakes as before in the future political struggles.

Song Yuner also smiled and said, "You dog-headed military advisor really have two words. No wonder my father always praises you for being smart and capable, and you are still the one who is your arm."

"Thank you for your praise, Miss. I am ashamed of you." Master Jin hurriedly bowed.

Yang Qiuchi returned to the lobby, sat in the middle, and said with a smile: "Mr. Mi, please get up."

Mr. Mi stood up proudly and patted the dust on the hem of his robe. Yang Qiuchi said, "Although you have such a connection with Duke Dingguo, this case is too involved, and I cannot sit idly by."

He turned to Luo Qianhu and said, "Mr. Luo, please assign a deputy Qianhu to take the Jinyiwei out..."

"Sir, don't be polite. Just go back by yourself." Mi Yuanwai smiled complacently. It seems that this young official still knows that he is powerful and dare not touch himself.

Yang Qiuchi sneered: "Mr. Mi, you misunderstood. Before this case was found out, we can only put you under house arrest. Don't worry, the Jinyiwei will be responsible for your safety." He turned to Luo Qianhu and said: "Please send a deputy Qianhu to take Jinyiwei to take Miyiwei back to Qianhu's office to house arrest and guard it strictly, and no mistakes are allowed."

Only then did Mr. Mi realize that he was too happy. It seemed that this young Jinyiwei was not simple.

Luo Qianhu stood up and bowed to agree. He looked admiring and even more awe-inspiring. He went out and called a deputy Qianhu and took Officer Mi with the Jinyiwei to take him away.

Yang Qiuchi sent someone to investigate the situation of the middle-aged man who was squinted and learned that although several people with squint eyes were found, they were all ruled out after being identified by the bodyguards.

Yang Qiuchi ordered the prefect Tan to bring him up. Seeing that Yang Qiuchi had arrested even the governor, he shocked all the local politicians in Huguang like quails falling into the water. He knew that his spiritual defense had completely collapsed. He went to the court where he had tried the case in the past. Before the Jinyiwei on both sides intimidated him, he knelt down with a gurgle.

Yang Qiuchi slapped the show and shouted: "You colluded with the three officials and officials of the Power and Government, Mi Yuanwai, to embezzle public grains for disaster relief, which caused public anger and almost led to riots. Do you know the consequences?"

Prefect Tan was so scared that his whole body was trembling, but his hands were tied. Although it was difficult to kowtow, he still tried hard to bend his head and spared his life. His movements were too big and he almost turned over.

Yang Qiuchi said again: "You have received bribes of 20,000 taels of silver. Do you know how Emperor Taizu and the current emperor deal with corrupt officials?"

Of course, Master Tan knew that when he thought of peeling the skin, he was so scared that his three souls and seven spirits were not given up, and he couldn't even say something to beg for mercy, leaving only the only thing he was struggling to kowtow.

Yang Qiuchi knew that the prisoner was blushing and white-faced, and now he was scared to this way, and it would be better to sing. He was ordered to untie the rope tied to the body of the prefect. The prefect Tan didn't know what Yang Qiuchi was going to do. After untie the rope, he fell there stupidly, and he was almost crazy.

Yang Qiuchi's tone slowed down and said, "Master Tan, you have a good attitude in front of you. You have revealed the two borers, the governor and Mi Yuanwai, to make contributions to the investigation of this case. I will definitely write down your meritorious service in the memorial."

After hearing this, the three souls and seven spirits of the prefect Tan finally ran back a little bit. This little bit was enough to make him understand what Yang Qiuchi was saying. He was so excited that tears surged out. The old man actually crawled on the ground and started crying. Then he kowtowed and thumped again and again: "Mr. Yang recreated Tan's Entong, and it was unforgettable."

Yang Qiuchi said: "However, I hope Lord Tan can continue to report and expose and continue to make contributions. Only in this way can there be a glimmer of hope."

Prefect Tan kowtowed and whimpered, "Yes, Tan understands that Tan will confess everything he knows and will never hide it at all." "Okay, you can tell me the truth about how you colluded to embezzle disaster relief food..."

"Yes," Prime Minister Tan kowtowed again, and then explained: "Last year, the Locust plague occurred in a radius of hundreds of miles in Huguang Wuchang Prefecture. The governor Quan asked the court for food and disaster relief, and received the emperor's approval. During the Chinese New Year, Mi Junwai invited the governor Quan and me to his house. There was no one else that day. Mi Junwai told a plan to transfer all the food for the court's disaster relief to him. He gave us the benefits of a total of 50,000 silver. I was frightened at the time."

Speaking of this, Prime Minister Tan thought about it, gritted his teeth, and kowtowed and confessed: "I confess that in the past, the Chief Secretary for Disaster Relief requested the court to provide disaster relief, and the specific disaster relief matters were specifically responsible for the prefectural government. The Chief Minister and I have not swallowed disaster relief grains, but it is amazing that one or two percent of them have been swallowed out of 100% and eighty-ninety percent of them still have to release food for disaster relief. Otherwise, if the hungry people make trouble, everything will be over."

Yang Qiuchi interrupted: "Have the governor of the throne ever done such a thing? I mean the embezzlement of all disaster relief grains?"

After thinking for a moment, the prefect Tan shook his head and said, "No, I have participated in the disaster relief of Huguang Wuchang Prefecture, and most of the food has been distributed." After a pause, he continued, "As for the situation before he came to Huguang to be the governor, I don't know much about it."

Yang Qiuchi nodded thoughtfully and signaled him to continue.

"So after hearing this, although the benefits of 50,000 taels were really tempting, and at least 20% of them were distributed to my name, I still dared not agree. After all, my head was important. But the governor seemed to have agreed to this matter. Seeing that I did not agree, I mentioned that I was responsible for strengthening the Yangtze River embankment two years ago."

When Magistrate Tan said this, he stretched out his sleeves and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, gasped for a while, and then continued: "That time I embezzled 3,000 taels of money for the imperial court's dike repairs and was discovered. It was the governor of the magistrate who pressed the case and protected me. When I heard him mention this, I knew that he used this matter to suppress me. If I don't agree, I will be in trouble immediately."

"I think that once the case is exposed, I will definitely die. I will die, so I agree. Mi Yuanwai then sent someone to send me the promised 50,000 taels of silver, and I personally brought someone to send 40,000 taels of it to the inner house of the governor Quan."

Yang Qiuchi sneered: "It seems that the relationship between the governor of Quan and Mi Yuanwai is very close."

Prefect Tan looked up slightly and glanced at Yang Qiuchi, then quickly lowered his head and said, "Yes, I heard that the governor of Quan was just a small county magistrate, who deliberately cursed Mi Junwai. The Mi Junwai helped him to operate in the court, so he was promoted step by step, and he reached his current position." "Oh? This Mi Junwai is so capable?" Yang Qiuchi felt even more shocked. It seemed that Master Jin was right. In the case of unknown situation, he used the delaying strategy to ask for an order to do things. He signaled that Prime Minister Tan would continue to talk.

The prefect Tan continued: "I asked Mi Junwai, what should I do if there is no food to help the hungry people causing trouble? Mi Junwai said that he would arrange for people to burn the granary, or guard the fire, and then ask the court to transfer the grain. Besides, his rice shop has rice, and he also wants to sell porridge. If I say this, then you will be of no benefit, and he told me not to worry about it."

"After the first batch of disaster relief grain was transported, the governor of Quan arranged for his confidant to pretend to transport grain into the granary of the governor's office. However, in fact, the grain was directly transported to the granary of the Mi Junwai's home. That night, the empty granary of the governor's office caught fire. I knew it must be the fire arranged by the Mi Junwai."

"The General of the Quan asked the court for disaster relief food again. I thought the food was transported to the court this time, because when I saw many hungry people in the city starved to death, I was panicked, afraid that things would go a long way. Unexpectedly, that day, Mi Junwai invited the General of the Quan and I to my home, saying that it was the same rule that he wanted all the disaster relief food and gave us a total of 50,000 taels of silver."

"I was frightened when I heard this. During this period, I found that Mi Yuanwai had been selling grain at high prices, and the price was ridiculously high, as if I didn't want the grain to be sold at all. I didn't see him opening a porridge shop to put the porridge. Instead, hungry people flocked into Wuchang City, gathering more and more, and there were already tens of thousands of people. I know that if all the disaster relief grains were embezzled this time and not a single grain of food was released, the hungry people in the city would have to be riot."

"I said I wouldn't dare to do this time. But when Mi Yuanwai and the governor of Quan mentioned the matter of my seventh concubine, I had to surrender again."

Yang Qiuchi smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Lord Tan married seven concubines in a row. I can't tell that Lord Tan is old and his heart is still very strong. Hehehe."

The old Magistrate Tan's face was so slutty that he was stammering and hesitating and talking nonsense.
