MTL - The Reborn Noble Daughter-Chapter 437 purge
Chapter 437 437. Purge
Liang Quanbin didn’t understand why he was killed until his death!
On the other hand, the hidden pile went to die peacefully and peacefully.
General Meng was a little confused at this moment about Emperor Qi's actions, because he clearly knew what Duke Wei had done.
Why did you have to execute the only two witnesses with your own hands?
Is it possible that you want to suppress this matter and let the Wei family survive in peace?
So he began to feel anxious. He had heard about Wei Guogong's tricks, and the relationship had been forged, so he thought that he would never have a good life again.
th.
After a while, he listened to Emperor Qi’s instructions.
“It’s rumored that Prime Minister Bai has entered the palace!”
"yes!"
Although General Meng was Emperor Qi's confidant, there were some things that he was not suitable to listen to, so Emperor Qi and Prime Minister Bai had a secret conversation in the study.
What exactly the two said was unknown to outsiders.
When Prime Minister Bai left, the prince personally sent him to the palace gate. The palace door had already been locked, but the prince still sent him out with the token in hand.
The spies of the Wei family had been waiting outside for a long time, and when the Bai family's carriage came out, they were about to step forward to rob him.
Unfortunately, before the people could move much, they fell to the ground and died one by one.
Xu Lin, under a black turban, looked at the dead people everywhere. Without even raising his eyelids, he escorted Bai Xiang back to his house in the dark night.
The night was quiet, with only the rumble of the Bai family's carriage and the clatter of horse hooves appearing particularly clear.
After waiting for a long night, Wei Dalang did not receive any news. He was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth.
On the other hand, Wei Guogong, who was lying down and resting with his eyes closed, remained calm and composed.
If it weren't for the slightly bulging veins on his forehead, I would have thought he was really calm and not afraid.
“Father, what should we do? What will Prime Minister Bai say if he is called into the palace late at night?”
If he was asked to say that he should have robbed Feng Jinlin's carriage from the beginning, destroyed the evidence, and threatened Bai Xiang with Feng Jinlin's life, he would not believe it. Bai Xiang did not even care about his own grandchildren.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he was severely criticized by Duke Wei.
“I said you have made some progress a few days ago, but why have you become confused again these days?”
The intimidating power of one eye made Wei Dalang feel even more frightened.
Originally, there may have been some pretense of kindness in Duke Wei, but since he lost one eye, he has only become a sinister bird of prey.
So, Wei Dalang was originally very scared. When he scolded him like this, he could only lower his head in disgrace without even retorting.
Seeing his son's useless appearance now, he even thought of ways to contact his grandson.
As long as he can come back after studying, the Wei family doesn't need to worry.
“The solution to this situation does not lie with Xiang Bai, but with General Meng.”
“General Meng?”
Wei Dalang was confused, but Duke Wei was too lazy to talk to him, so he ordered him to find the Ninth Prince immediately.
Compared to his son's stupidity, his grandson is quite bold.
In this current situation, the dangerous tactics of the army may turn the world upside down.
So, he needed to discuss it carefully with the Ninth Prince.
The sky turned a fish belly white, and Feng Jinlin had already left her home full of silk to prepare to go to court.
Even though they had learned in advance that Feng Jinxu was still alive, they still had to pretend. So the Feng family has closed its doors these days to thank guests and keep vigil for Feng Jinxu.
Feng Hai and his wife both fell ill, and Wen was in a state of despair. Feng Jinlin was the only one to support the family. Moreover, the memorial in his hand was the entire process of the corruption case of the Water Transport Department in Jinling City. Therefore, he could go to court today. Step firm.
On the other hand, Wei Dalang originally planned to stay home today because he was sick, but in the end he was kicked out by Wei Guogong.
Others couldn't tell what was wrong, but he himself felt very guilty.
Although the evidence has been almost destroyed, if Emperor Qi wanted to clean up the Wei family, he would be the first person to be punished.
So compared with Feng Jinlin's righteousness and awe-inspiringness, he was completely trembling.
The first thing Emperor Qi did after he came to court was that Feng Jinlin reported the case of corruption in the Water Transport Department.
This matter should have been brought up by Liang Quanbin, the director of the Water Transport Department, but everyone else was killed by Emperor Qi, so most people thought that Liang Quanbin must be involved in the case, so he did not show up.
It actually established a lot of prestige for Feng Jinlin invisibly.
A mere seventh-grade county magistrate, not only can he go to the palace, but he still has such an important thing to do.
Seeing that Feng Jinlin's road to success was paved, many officials were not thinking about how to punish corrupt people, but how to match up their own daughters with the Feng family.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Bai has taken four million tons of official rations with him to the southwest. As for those who embezzled official rations, they have all been arrested. There are 194 people in total, including four inspectors. Shi Fuyu resisted and was killed on the spot. A detailed report has been written and submitted to Lord Bai."
Feng Jinlin showed no fear at all. Others said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. That was probably the case with him.
With one hundred and ninety-four people, the Water Transport Department is full of worms.
Bai Chaoan's memorial was written very clearly. How much everyone participated and how much they plundered from home were recorded every bit.
That memorial was probably the thickest one Qi Emperor had ever received, and he read it very carefully.
No one in the court dared to make a sound, everyone was waiting for Emperor Qi's announcement.
After less than half an hour, Emperor Qi finished reading the memorial. For him, he was much more shocked than what Liang Quanbin confided last night.
Liang Quanbin naturally talked about the Wei family.
But he didn’t mention much about the Water Transport Department, perhaps because he had been in office for a short time, so his understanding was not thorough enough.
When Emperor Qi looked at this memorial, he was somewhat frustrated with his political achievements.
He knows a little about the Wei family's money transfer through the Water Transport Department.
Or any member of the royal family, including himself, spent a lot of money on the people.
For him, the world belongs to him and the people belong to him, so the money in the hands of the people also belongs to him, so he doesn't care very much.
The Ninth Prince and the First Prince have to compete with each other, so naturally they cannot support their subordinates with just that little salary.
Therefore, it does not hurt for the two of them to seek some personal gains under the pretext of their official positions in the court.
But he did not expect that when the corruption of the Water Transport Department was revealed one by one, it would be so grand.
Every person above, every time they participate, seems to be saying how failed he is as an emperor.
So, how much frustration you feel in your heart, how much you hate these people.
Bai Xiang’s few words seemed simple, but in fact they left a heavy mark on his heart.
So this time he became ruthless and showed no mercy to the Water Transport Department.
“All the people on the list were judged guilty, and their families were also together. The world and people of the Jin Dynasty were not allowed to be ruined like this!”
