Chapter 23 Donglin Upright Official List (Please recommend for collection!)
imperial capital.

Da da da!
There was a sound of rapid horseshoes, and the people who were doing business and wandering on the streets of Fangshi looked around and saw groups of Jinyiwei dressed in flying fish suits, with embroidered spring knives on their waists, galloping towards them. As soon as his expression changed, Qi Qi, who was skillful in his movements, stepped aside immediately.

When Jin Yiwei passed by, they started discussing in twos and threes.

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a formation, and now I don't know who is out of luck."

"Well, it seems that the direction they are going is the eastern part of the inner city. The people living there are all important officials of the court, and most of them are members of the Donglin Party. Hey, it is really bad luck for the Donglin Party to mess with Jiuqian."

"Hmph, it doesn't matter who is unlucky. Haven't you heard that the emperor fell into the water last month, and now he can't get sick. Maybe the weather will change at some point. Wei Zhongxian's good days may be coming to an end."

"Eighty percent of this was done by members of the Donglin Party."

"Impossible, this is a rebellion without a king and a father!"

"Haven't you heard that the Donglin party members see that Wei Zhongxian can't be brought down, so they can only hope that the sky will change, and how to change the sky, hehe, you think it's an accident that the emperor fell into the water, such a big treasure ship, it's said to fall apart It fell apart, is there such a coincidence in the world?"

"Hiss~ These civil servants are really ruthless. They can do this kind of thing. Don't they keep preaching that the heaven and earth are kings, relatives and teachers. This is a serious crime against the nine clans."

"Hmph, Shibi is in their hands. As long as they succeed, how can anyone remember these things in another ten or twenty years?"

"..."

Inner East.

Here and there, you can see a lot of rich and famous courtyards, all of which are the residences of the emperor's relatives, as well as high-ranking officials.

When a rush of horseshoes sounded here, on weekdays, he held his head high and stood at the door next to the main entrance. They all hid back in a hurry, pressed their ears to the door, and looked carefully through the crack of the door. The situation outside.

"My lord, the mansion of Grand Scholar Liu Yixiu has arrived." A Jin Yiwei reported.

"En." The leader of Jinyi Baihu is Lu Jianxing, who has not been in office for a long time. Sitting on the horse, squinting his eyes slightly, he looked at the plaque engraved with "Liu Dashi's Mansion", and waved: "Surround this place, don't you?" Let go of a fly."

"Yes."

"The others follow me into the mansion."

clap clap clap!
"Open the door!"

Seeing that Jin Yiwei's target was his home, the disciples of Liu Dashi's mansion were so frightened that their legs went limp, and they reported the letter to the inner courtyard while walking and crawling.

Lu Jianxing said impatiently: "Brothers, come over the wall and open the gate. Quick!"

"Yes!"

In response, a few Jinyi guards climbed the wall and climbed over the wall with a ladder. After a while, they opened the main door and let Lu Jianxing and others enter.

"Bold!"

Just as Lu Jianxing brought dozens of guards in Jinyi into the gate, he heard a shout full of anger. When he looked up, he saw a majestic old man in official robes, accompanied by the housekeeper, walking away. come over.

"You guys are so brave. Do you know where this place is? How dare you trespass and tell you, this is the residence of the Grand Master Liu. My master is a great scholar of the dynasty. How dare you be so presumptuous!" the butler shouted with his head raised.

Lu Jianxing cupped his hands and said, "I've met Master Liu. I, Lu Jianxing, Fusi Jinyi, a hundred households in Beizhen, follow the order of the sage to arrest the king-killing traitor. Anyone who dares to resist, no matter who it is, will be punished on the spot!"

"Killing the king..." The butler turned pale, and looked at his master with weak legs and feet, only to find that his master was not much better, and his heart skipped a beat for a while.

"This must be Wei Xie's conspiracy. I want to meet His Majesty and return my innocence." Liu Yixiu suppressed the chill in his heart and raised his voice.

Lu Jianxing sneered and said: "There will be a chance, you Donglin rebels who have no king and father, all of you can't escape."

"Come here! Take him down, send someone to search the whole house, move out all the property, put it in the yard, and count it in the register."

"Yes."

"By the way, the factory lord ordered that you don't disturb the family members. Once you find out, you will never tolerate it. Brothers, take care of yourself. Don't let go of a bright future. It is not worthwhile to choose to enter the palace as a servant."

"Hahaha!"

A burst of laughter came from the mouths of dozens of guards in Jinyi, and Lu Jianxing reminded again: "Brothers, I am not joking with you, this is what the factory master has repeatedly ordered, as long as anyone dares to take the opportunity to harass the family members, lightly Those who are severely punished will be sentenced to death directly.”

"..."

These Jin Yiwei couldn't laugh anymore, they had already felt the truth of the matter, they only felt a chill in their crotch, swallowed, and their eyes were full of disappointment.

As a Jin Yiwei, when they ransacked their homes, they hid some belongings and molested the daughters and rich ladies who could only be thought of in the past, but their greatest pleasure, now it’s gone if they don’t have it?
Lu Jianxing yelled: "After getting promoted and getting rich, there is nothing. Put away your foolishness and work hard! A few people, come with me!"

"Yes!"

When Liu Yixiu saw that they were serious, he knew that the disaster was coming, his mind was roaring, he didn't care if they harassed his wife or not, he was carried by two people arranged by Lu Jianxing, he came to the study, and searched carefully .

Lu Jianxing took a thick stack of gift slips in his hand, opened them and glanced at them, then sneered and said, "Sure enough, you are an upright official in Donglin, any gift slip is worth your salary for a hundred years, thanks to the fact that you are so righteous outside, You have a breeze in your sleeves, represent the people at every turn, and reprimand His Majesty for competing with the people for profit, and it turns out that it all falls into your arms, so I am not afraid that so much gold and silver will crush you to death."

Liu Yixiu's face was pale and he was speechless.

An hour later, the backyard.

A large amount of belongings were piled up here, guarded by a dozen Jin Yiwei, someone was counting and registering, and the female relatives in the backyard were locked in the room, and there were bursts of crying.

Lu Jianxing brought Liu Yixiu, who was being strung up, to the backyard. Seeing this scene, Liu Yixiu's eyes flashed with deep heartache and regret.

"Keep an eye on this place, there must be no loss. This matter was ordered by His Majesty himself and supervised by the factory owner. If there is any mistake, not only will your heads fall, but you will even be regarded as a king-killer and rebellious party. Possibly. Remember?"

"remember!"

"Alright, Master Liu, let's go."

"You, you, want to take the old man, where to go?"

"Of course it's the Forbidden City. Do you think it's a imperial prison? The factory owner said that he will give you a chance to defend yourself in person, and then according to your wealth, you will be ranked on the list of upright officials in the Eastern Forest, and a stele will be erected for you!"

"No!" Liu Yixiu yelled in surprise, rolled his eyes and passed out.

The main entrance of the Forbidden City, Meridian Gate.

This place has been surrounded by Jinyi Guards. Many Tai students, fresh graduates, and nearby people and merchants are forced to come here and wait.

"What's going on here?"

"I don't know, okay, I was pushed over by Jin Yiwei for no reason, and I don't know what to ask, and I won't let you go."

"What a bastard! We, the disciples of the saints, were insulted by these Qiu Ba, a certain Jiangxi Liu Changsheng will not give up with them."

"Ah, look quickly, that's not the leader of the Donglin, the great scholar Liu Yixiu, Mr. Liu, he was framed by Jin Yiwei, and he is still in such a mess, something really happened."

"Ah, it's Grand Scholar Liu! Not good, it must be the eunuch who killed loyal ministers. Let's rush forward and save Grand Scholar Liu."

"Ah, ah, ah..."

"Don't move around, Your Majesty and Lord Chang are coming soon, if you dare to move around again, don't blame us for being ruthless."

"Oh my god, there's another one, and that's the Han University scholar."

"And Huo Shangshu."

"..."

As the leaders of the Donglin Party were overwhelmed by Jin Yiwei, the Meridian Gate was already silent. Without Jin Yiwei's reminder, everyone, including those students who thought highly of themselves, knew that something was wrong. This kind of big scene has been going on for more than 200 years. Haven't seen it before.

Some clever students had already thought of the stories about Taizu and Chengzu, and whispered a few words. Although these speculations were whispered, they spread quickly, making everyone hold their breath and dare not speak out.

Emperor Taizu's iron and blood methods back then, that's what can be called a child who can stop crying at night...

Afterwards, a large amount of property was brought in one by one, which made the onlookers and scholars secretly jealous.

After half an hour.

"His Majesty is here!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Everyone knelt on the ground and shouted long live.

Accompanied by Owen and others, Emperor Tianqi came to the Meridian Gate in a soft sedan, stood on the Meridian Gate tower, looked at the densely packed people downstairs, glanced at the dozens of ministers at the front, and thought of what they had done, A trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes, and he raised his voice, "Let's get down!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, the old minister has been wronged."

"Your Majesty, Wei Xie ransacked Weichen's mansion for no reason, and treated us as prisoners, insulting us wantonly, and please Your Majesty to decide for us."

"..."

Dozens of Donglin party members immediately made a loud noise.

Emperor Tianqi gave them a disgusted look, sat on the dragon chair, waved and said, "Zhongxian, you handle it."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Owen said solemnly.

With a promise, Owen walked to the front of the city tower, looked down at the crowd, and said lightly: "A thousand words are not as solid as the evidence. Today, many people gathered here, including scholars, farmers, businessmen, let them see if you Really wronged."

"Come on! Beginning with Liu Yixiu and Liu Dashi, the property confiscated from their homes will be recited in public according to the gift list, so that everyone can see how the clean and honest Donglin Party members serve the country and the people. With a breeze in both sleeves."

"Yes."

"In May of the first year of Emperor Guangzong's reign, Master Liu, Minister of the Ministry of Gifts presented by Cao Fujing in Suzhou, the ice salute list is as follows..."

"In October of the second year of the Apocalypse, Ma Tao in Hangzhou presented Mr. Liu, the chief assistant of the cabinet. The carbon salute list is as follows..."

"Apocalypse three years,..."

"..."

"Liu Yixiu has been an official for decades, and he has received 150 million taels of bribes from wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River and other local gentry, which is equivalent to [-] times his annual salary."

"Wow!"

The people onlookers immediately went into an uproar. This is about an honest and loyal minister, not Wei Zhongxian. He actually has so much property, but he couldn’t believe it. As soon as the Jin Yiwei who sang the newspaper’s words fell, the cartloads of belongings were pulled in front of everyone’s eyes. Let them watch.

And those scholars gathered around the gift slip and receipt to check carefully whether it was a forgery, but Liu Yixiu was able to become a bachelor, and his own level is still very high. His good calligraphy has long been famous all over the world Yes, some students often copy and watch it, how could they not recognize it.

"It turned out to be true..."

"Oh my god, the famous official with strong bones turned out to be a big corrupt official..."

"It's really rich, no wonder everyone wants to be an official."

"Hmph, you deserve it, you have embezzled so many people's fat and people's anointing."

Seeing that Liu Yixiu had just woken up, Owen fainted again after seeing this scene, smiled slightly, and ordered, "Next."

"In the 38th year of Shenzong, Suzhou Xiaying congratulated Han Shilang for his promotion. The list of gifts is as follows..."

"In the first year of Emperor Guangzong, Hangzhou Ma Yu congratulated Han Shangshu on his housewarming. The list of gifts is as follows..."

"Apocalypse three years,..."
