"Your Highness, the general may have some clues here."

Source of money?

When Prince Zhu Biao frowned in confusion, Jiang Xian, the commander of the Jinyi Guards on the side, heard the name Qian Yuan, and the dust-covered memory in his heart suddenly opened.

The one who brought back the body of the acting head of the Zhao family from Qianshu County, the dismissed magistrate of Qianshu County, Luo Pan, mentioned Qian Yuan's name when he was recorded in the jail.

"Did Luo Pan mention the source of the money? Did your Jin Yiwei investigate the source of the money later?"

"Commander Tiger has always been in charge of such matters. I think there are probably files left."

"However, Luo Pan did not point out Qian Yuan's specific violations at that time. He just said that if anything happened to Qian Yuan, he could be called as a witness. Then no matter how we tortured him, he didn't say a word."

"Later, His Majesty thought that there was a way to govern Qianshu County, but there were unforgivable consequences. People from Qianshu County signed a petition to plead for his mercy, so we released him."

"Where is this person? Find him quickly!"

"Yes!"

After listening to Jiang Xian's report, Prince Zhu Shou was anxious, but his brows were raised because he had woken up.

He stood up and walked outside the east palace door, looking in the direction of Fengtian Palace. He knew that the source of the money was his father's presence to leave a prestige for himself in the supervision of the country before he left for the trip.

……

As expected, Jiang Xiancai received the relevant dossier from Erhu when he was halfway there.

His men's search for Luo Pan went very smoothly, because today Luo Pan was standing in front of the imperial city gate, waiting for the Jin Yiwei's horse.

"Are you Luo Pan? As far as I know, after my father ordered you to be released, there were no additional restrictions on you. Why don't you go back to Qianshu County?"

Emperor Zhu Chongba naturally had the idea of ​​controlling Luo Pan, but after Luo Pan was released from the Jinyiwei Prison, he made no move to leave the city at all.

On the contrary, he was originally a dignified county magistrate. Even if he was turned into a white man now, he was still a scholar, but he found a job in the capital collecting gold and water at night.

In this way, Jin Yiwei can naturally save more manpower and can only watch his daily trajectory.

It's just that Prince Zhu Biao naturally couldn't say so clearly.

And he was really curious as to why Luo Pan was finally spared from the death penalty and yet he still didn't return to his hometown after being freed.

Isn't his father scary enough to officials?

"The ordinary people have turned into white bodies, and there is no possibility of going to court again in this life. What can I do if I go back?"

"Why don't you send a letter to show that you have no worries about food and clothing in the capital, and that you only have money and water in mind every day, so that the new county magistrate can remain diligent and love the people, and you can avoid meeting your ancestors with a bad image. "

"I am stained with gold and water. Fortunately, the common people are finally alive and clean."

Zhao Zheng had said before that Luo Pan was a talent, and at this moment, Zhu Biao also nodded to him sincerely.

"What a clean life!"

"Wang Ji! Give me a seat!"

"Tell me about the source of the money. The money source is in trouble. If you still want to be an official, I can allow you to serve as an official in the East Palace. This does not count as admission!"

Luo Pan, the former magistrate of Qianshu County, committed the biggest crime of deceiving the emperor.

Because he only covets the wealth of corrupt officials, and then returns it to the people under his rule.

As for the head outside Zhao Zheng's gate that night, it was just a death row prisoner who was beheaded in advance. Luo Pan didn't care, Jin Yiwei didn't care, and Prince Zhu Biao didn't care either.

It was precisely through the superposition of this life-saving gain that he truly realized the life-saving declaration he had made with Zhao Zheng at that time.

So at this time, facing Prince Zhu Biao's olive branch, Luo Pan immediately refused.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but the emperor's order cannot be bullied."

Luo Pan had already finished enjoying the blessings he wanted to enjoy. If no one knows better than Zhao Zheng when it comes to the multiple-choice question of how to lose one's life, then no one knows better than him when it comes to the multiple-choice question of how to save one's life.

Continue to be an official?

Although gold collecting water may seem bitter and embarrassing on the surface, it is also very profitable.

And now I have a precious white body. What does a white body mean?

Especially Bai Shen who is still in the capital!

Among the dozens of Chief Secretaries of the Sun and Moon Dynasty, this is the group of people who can find happiness the most!

"Your Highness, let's go back to the source of Qian, Qian Shisi."

"That was when the common people were coerced by the rebel Zhu Liang and guarded the ship for him. In addition to the money envoy, there were also Mr. Chen from Suhang and Hangzhou..."

That night, the story on that boat was told in detail by Luo Pan.

……

Each of the characters in the story, from the three main places of origin: Xijiang, Fuzhou, and Suzhou and Hangzhou, happened to be caught one by one by Zhao Zheng and put into prison cars.

"Master Zhao! I am unjustly accused! I have always been diligent and caring for the people. I live in a hut. The money was framed by a villain. You have arrested the wrong person!"

In Xijiang, a chubby official who had just been arrested in a prison car had snot and tears on his face and kept shouting about injustice.

In sharp contrast, none of his colleagues in other prison cars were struggling.

"Why are you shouting? Are you annoyed?"

"I don't even want to talk about you when you return to your thatched cottage."

There were so many people to arrest that there were not enough prison cars, so Zhao Zheng had to lock three people in one prison car.

The prison car where this chubby official was sitting had an old man in it before.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Master, what do you mean by this?"

"Look at you, you are so fat, round-waisted, with tender hands and a rosy complexion. If you really live in a hut and still look like this, then you are probably seriously ill. Just as serious illness will kill you, so will committing crimes. Anyway, you are going to die, so you are still afraid What?"

"This... can this be the same?"

Yuan Gungun looked at his hands and then at his big belly, and he finally couldn't refute.

He thought that Jin Yiwei found out about him because of this abnormality.

It's a pity that Jinyiwei is easy to use, but it's not as exaggerated as it is for everyone.

Moreover, he is just a small county magistrate, and the geographical relationship between his jurisdiction is not special at all.

Zhao Zheng was able to catch him so accurately simply because of their self-recommendation when they were on the ship.

They were talking on Hongze Lake, and in the Zhao Mansion in the capital, Zhao Zheng was taking notes.

A truly good memory is worse than a bad pen!

"knock off."

"Because of the empty seal case, at the end of the year, officials from various places have to go back to Beijing to handle taxes on-site. Sending these people back to the capital for trial will not only calm people's hearts, but also attract hatred."

"Come here, please inform the commander of the Guards Station and the nearby Yamen to send troops together. You, the Imperial Guards, will also send troops to accompany you and escort all these dog officers back to the capital!"

"Yes! Then the source of the money these dog officials revealed..."

"Don't worry about him yet, just keep it."

Since the Song Dynasty moved south, the prosperity of the world has also tilted southward.

And prosperity breeds evil most easily.

So Zhao Zheng has begun to look forward to how much hatred he will absorb.

As for the source of money, Qian Shisi.

Now that he has almost all of his cronies captured, and Yang Qi has arrived in the capital,

There is no difference between moving and not moving. All I have to do is guard him and don't let him escape.

……

"What! Why do those people named Zhao arrest people? Do the Zhao family still care about me as their envoy?"

Qian Mansion, Qian Yuan is still struggling to his death.

And his confidence lies in the emperor's praise of him years ago.

There are dozens of chief secretaries in the world, and he has the most Jinshi under his command. That imperial edict is his glory and what he thinks is a gold medal to avoid death.

"Sir, they all have king whips in their hands, and the ones they caught this time seem to have been to Hongze Lake..."

"Hongze..."

Qian Yuan thought of Hongze Lake, but he didn't take it seriously at first, but then he thought that the Zhao family had lost a life there, and the key was that Zhu Liang was also designated as a rebel.

Rebellious thief...then myself...

Beads of sweat suddenly appeared on his face and back.

"Sir, I feel like there are a lot of new faces outside the house recently. It seems that there is only one thing we can do now."

The housekeeper continued to worry, but Qian Yuan seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.

"What's going on! What to do! Tell me quickly!"

"It's the end of the year, and if the old government affairs piled up on the desk can be properly sorted out, we might be able to resolve them some more."

"Government affairs? Yes, yes! I'll go right now!"
