I am a corrupt official, but they say I am a loyal minister

Obviously, the willful and reckless empress would not take into account the feelings of Lin Beifan and the officials!

After rewarding one round, the empress said with great joy: "If there is something to play, I will leave the court if there is nothing to do!"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the people of my humble ministers have found out that King Jibei, Jiangnan King, Wuxi King... and many other princes have been researching and manufacturing hovercraft, a sharp weapon on water, in their own territory. !"

The commander of Jinyiwei stood up and reported.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have just received news that neighboring countries such as the Great Xia Dynasty, the Great Yan Dynasty, and the Great Moon Dynasty have already researched and manufactured a hovercraft and successfully launched it into the water. Your Majesty, please check it out!"

An old general stood up and reported.

"Report to Your Majesty...".

Chapter 135 Leave me some, the landlord's house doesn't have any food left!

Ministers one after another stood up and reported the situation of the hovercraft.

The woman's face became more and more gloomy, and the atmosphere in the hall became more and more depressing, so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.

Although there is no sword, light or shadow, it is full of Xiao Su's breath.

The empress did not speak, and the officials did not dare to speak.

Only one person was trembling all over, his face was pale, and sweat was streaming out.

This person is the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, Wang Rushui.

Because only the people from the Ministry of Industry master the method of manufacturing hovercraft.The manufacturing method of the hovercraft was leaked, and he, the head of the Ministry of Industry, could not escape responsibility at all.

Under the empress's knife-like gaze, Wang Rushui finally couldn't stand it anymore.

He stood up and fell to his knees~ on the ground with a plop.

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged!"

The empress shouted: "Say! Where are you wronged?-"

Wang Rushui wailed: "This matter was not done by this minister! As the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, this minister knows the importance of the manufacturing method of this hovercraft to His Majesty and the court! Therefore, day and night defenses, day and night guards, never dare to do anything. A little slack-slow!"

"Furthermore, if the manufacturing method is leaked, I will not be able to escape responsibility! How could I do such a foolish thing? Therefore, I am wronged, please Your Majesty to investigate clearly!"

The empress shouted again: "If you didn't do it, then your people did it. Where are you wronged?"

Wang Rushui was speechless: "I..."

"Twice! Twice already!"

The empress raised two fingers, and said angrily: "For the first time, the method of making the big balloon was leaked, and it's justifiable! Now it's the second time, and I committed such an unforgivable crime twice in a row." Sin, what qualifications do you have to cry for injustice?"

"I'm really wronged..." Wang Rushui cried.

Old tears, crying very sad!

He hates the person behind him to death now, why is it always against him?

Don't just kill me alone, okay?

"Your Majesty, there is actually one person who knows how to make a hovercraft, and that person is Lin Bei Fanlin Jijiu! He invented the hovercraft, maybe he leaked it!" Wang Rushui splashed dirty water.

"Well, you Wang Rushui!"

Lin Beifan stood up angrily: "The method of leaking the hovercraft was leaked, and the most painful thing is to be here! I didn't blame you, but you have the nerve to blame me? What's the reason?"

He didn't even use honorifics, Wang Rushui yelled out the three words directly, which shows how angry he pretended to be!

"You kept saying that this was leaked by the lower officials! Then the lower officials should ask you carefully. If I leak the manufacturing method of the hovercraft, what good will it do me?"

Lin Beifan asked loudly: "Now, the lower official has received the favor of the dragon. It can be said that he can enjoy endless glory and wealth, and a bright future is in front of him! It's too late to be grateful. Why do you have to do these things that lose your head?"

Wang Rushui was speechless: "Ah, this..."

"I'll ask you again!"

Lin Beifan continued to question loudly: "If the officials really have two minds, why would they dedicate the hovercraft, the country's sharp weapon, to His Majesty and the imperial court? Isn't this contradictory?"

Wang Rushui was at a loss for words again: "This..."

"So, this manufacturing method must have leaked from your Ministry of Industry! Either you, or your people! All in all, Wang Rushui, you cannot escape responsibility!"

Lin Beifan bowed his hands: "Your Majesty, please be careful!"

The empress sitting on the dragon chair gave Lin Beifan a glance.

This guy did a good job in the play, and the thief shouted "Catch the thief" so confidently!

"Lin Aiqing, what you say makes sense!"

The empress spoke softly: "Although Lin Aiqing has been in office for a relatively short period of time, she has made great contributions to the following aspects of my court and made great contributions, so there is no need to doubt his loyalty!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Lin Beifan said loudly.

"So, the problem can only appear in the Ministry of Industry!"

The empress said loudly: "I'll investigate the Ministry of Industry thoroughly again, and no one will be let go! This black sheep must be caught and punished severely. I would rather kill the wrong one than let him go!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" All the officials said in unison.

"This task is entrusted to..."

The empress' eyes fell on Lin Beifan: "Leave it to Lin Aiqing! The hovercraft manufacturing method is leaked. I believe Lin Aiqing will be very angry and will not let any bad guy go!"

"Besides, in the case of leaking the method of making big balloons, it was Lin Aiqing who uncovered the black sheep, safeguarded the court's laws, and defended the interests of my Great Wu Dynasty!"

"So this matter is handed over to Lin Aiqing, I am very relieved!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Beifan said loudly, "I will never let Your Majesty down!"

After receiving the imperial edict, Lin Beifan sharpened his sword and rushed to the Ministry of Industry.

How to check, of course, starts with raiding the house!

Regardless of whether there are any problems, just copy the house once and you will know!

This job, Lin Beifan is familiar with, professional!

"My lords, His Majesty is very angry because the method of manufacturing the hovercraft was leaked! So I ordered the officials to check all the people in the Ministry of Industry. I hope all the adults will cooperate!"

The officials of the Ministry of Industry trembled: "How to cooperate?"

Lin Beifan smiled: "Start from the house raid!"

Announcement Baiguan collapsed.

"Copy again?"

"Master Lin, please let me go, my family really has no money!"

"I'm eating dirt now!"

……

Lin Beifan shouted: "Stop talking nonsense! Anyone who doesn't cooperate is very likely to be related to the leak! His Majesty said that he would rather kill the wrong than let him go! Those who don't cooperate will be thrown into prison immediately and tortured!"

Baiguan shivered and finally calmed down.

"Let's start with Mr. Zhou, the minister of the Ministry of Industry!"

Because of his familiarity with the road, it took less than half an hour to complete the search of the house.

In total, only about 10 taels of gold, silver and jewelry were found.

"Lin Jijiu, as you have seen, my family only has this little money, and I really have nothing left!" Master Zhou said with a wry smile.

"It seems that Mr. Zhou has been very honest during this time, and he has not been greedy for anything!" Lin Beifan laughed.

"That's natural! Since the big balloon leak case, I have always been law-abiding, self-denying and devoted to public affairs, and I will never do anything to betray His Majesty or the country! Please pay a sacrifice to investigate!" Master Zhou bowed his hands.

Lin Beifan nodded: "Okay, you send these gold and silver to my house, and you will be innocent!"

Master Zhou said with a dazed expression: "Wait! Lin Jijiu, this is all my legal income, you won't even be greedy for this!"

Lin Beifan spread his hands: "You can't let me come here for nothing, can you?"

Master Zhou: "Damn!"

This guy is really too greedy, even my legal income is not spared!

"Lin Jijiu, don't do this!" Lord Zhou said hastily: "You should leave some for me anyway, the landlord's house doesn't have any food left!"

"I also know your difficulties Master Zhou! How about this, I will leave this number for you!" Lin Beifan raised a finger.

"1 taels?" Mr. Zhou felt a little relieved, this guy is not too greedy, so give him a little face.

Lin Beifan smiled slightly: "100 taels!"

Master Zhou: "Damn!"

100 taels is actually easy to say!

Send the beggar?

"Lin Jijiu, you should save more! You see, I have such a big family, and 100 taels is not enough for a day's expenses!"

0 ················································

"Master Zhou, let me explain clearly!"

Lin Beifan coughed and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty ordered me to investigate the leak of the hovercraft manufacturing method. We must find some people to take the blame! It's not Mr. Zhou, but someone else! Do you want money or life?"

Master Zhou's face twitched.

Good guy, you're actually threatening!

How many times is this?

This is not a son of man!

"It's the same sentence, if I can't see it before dark, then don't blame me for not being a colleague!"

Lin Beifan left in arrogance.

Mr. Zhou was reluctant to take a look at his only remaining wealth, and closed his eyes in despair: "Send these gold and silver to the Lin Mansion!"

Just like that, Lin Beifan copied it one by one.

Regardless of whether it is legal or not, it is all greedy.

Only 100 taels were left for them, enough food for several days.

After this round, Lin Beifan scraped out nearly 200 million taels from the hands of the Ministry of Industry.

The officials of the Ministry of Industry have become poorer, and their teeth itch with hatred.

Jinluan Hall, early morning.

Lin Beifan reported loudly: "Your Majesty, I have been ordered to investigate the leak of the hovercraft! After the hard work of the minister these days, I found that most of the officials of the Ministry of Industry are innocent! Only Xu XX and Li XX have Serious suspicion! It has been put in prison for further interrogation! Please check it out, Your Majesty!"

... . . .

The Empress nodded: "Lin Aiqing has worked hard! Since those two people are serious suspects, there is no need to investigate them, and they will be killed directly, so as to serve as a warning to others!"

As far as the empress is concerned, no one in the Ministry of Industry is innocent!

Either a corrupt official or a treacherous official, killing anyone is not wronged, as many as you can kill!

If it wasn't for the fact that the country cannot function without the Ministry of Industry, she would have wanted to kill everyone in the Ministry of Industry!

It's good to kill it clean!

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lin Beifan took the order.

The empress said again: "The leak of the hovercraft has seriously affected the state system and threatened the rule of the court. All the officials of the Ministry of Industry have committed the inescapable crime of negligence! And this is the second time, and they must be severely punished!"

"Penalty for two years, no promotion or transfer within three years!"

The officials of the Ministry of Industry who went to court in the morning were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

All his money was embezzled by Lin Beifan!

Now I have been fined for another two years...

Including the previous punishment, a total of four years!

There is no income within 4 years, what do you let them live on?
