Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

The atmosphere in Dongnuan Pavilion changed completely.

Fang Zhenghua, who was kneeling on the ground, his heart was beating very fast at this moment, and there was a lot of sweat on his forehead. Fang Zhenghua could clearly feel the emperor's anger.

Compared with when Yusi led the team to seize the Bingzhan Bureau in the first place, as more holes were discovered and more things were discovered, the excitement disappeared and was replaced by panic, fear, and fear.

The hole in the military battle bureau is too big.

It was so big that Fang Zhenghua was scared.

Fang Zhenghua has been in the inner court for a long time. Although he has been hovering on the edge before, he is aware of certain rules that are not allowed on the table.

But don't take it too far.

But what about the Bingzhan Bureau? It is no longer a matter of not living too much.

"What else has been found in the West Police Factory?"

Zhu Youxiao controlled his emotions, stared at Fang Zhenghua with his cold eyes, and said in a cold tone: "Explain everything to me!"

"Report it to your Majesty."

Fang Zhenghua stuttered a little and said: "After investigation, the government offices set up by the Military War Bureau in Beijing involve many officials, chiefs, supervisors and other groups. Most of these people outside the inner court are with the eunuchs and eunuchs of the Military War Bureau. He was implicated, and no less than a hundred people even recognized the so-called godfather."

"This group of people, relying on their special status, dominate the above-mentioned government offices, deprive them of food and wages, beat and scold them arbitrarily, and even make usury loans in Beijing, forcing girls into prostitution. Even if people are killed, Shuntian Mansion and other officials dare not intervene. Take care of it.”

"Because there are many people in this group, the West Police Factory is still investigating. According to the current situation, the corruption is tens of thousands of taels at most, and a few thousand taels at the least. The specific amount is still there..."

Fang Zhenghua talked about each item, and Zhu Youxiao listened to each item.

The group of eunuchs and eunuchs in the inner court were a very special group in the Ming Dynasty. Although they were able to compete with the civil servants by virtue of their ascendancy to power, they could defend the imperial power.

However, with the destruction of certain rules, if this special group really wants to let themselves go, they will do things that are far more harmful than civil servants.

The roots of their descendants have been cut off, and it is no longer possible to pass on the incense in this life. The only thing that can make them feel happy and excited is to be in power and to make money!

Among the huge group of eunuchs and eunuchs, there are some who are extremely psychologically distorted. These people are often much crazier than ordinary people when they start to pull off the tiger's skin and pull the flag.

Ancestor, please stop talking.

Wei Zhongxian was kneeling on the ground, sweating continuously. Countless times, Wei Zhongxian wanted to stand up and cover Fang Zhenghua's mouth.

Talking too much.

Doesn't this make the emperor angry?

But even though he thought so in his heart, Wei Zhongxian did not dare to act rashly at all, because he could clearly feel the emperor's anger. If he dared to act rashly at this time, I am afraid he would also be severely punished!

"...Your Majesty, in addition to the above-mentioned things, what shocked the slaves the most was the gunpowder warehouses under the jurisdiction of the Military War Bureau. After intensified verification, it was found that no less than 12 kilograms of gunpowder had been stolen and sold out of the warehouses!! "

Fang Zhenghua hesitated again and again, but finally made the matter clear.

Ok.

The difference in gunpowder found by Jiao Xu was 8 kilograms, but after Fang Zhenghua stepped up his verification and interrogated the group of arrested eunuchs, the final amount obtained was an astonishing 12 kilograms!

And this number is only a lot more.

"!!!"

At this time, Wei Zhongxian was completely in chaos, and Liu Ruoyu was also in chaos. Gunpowder, there was so much gunpowder, and it was sold out secretly. Is this okay?

Since the first year of Tianqi, due to the sudden change in the situation in Liaodong, not only the production of arms and firearms has been stepped up in various places in Liaodong, but also in the capital.

Especially gunpowder.

In the past five years alone, the War Bureau has produced a large amount of gunpowder every year. Even if it is not used, it will be stored in gunpowder depots around the capital, especially in the area around Wang Gong Factory. The scale is extremely astonishing.

It is precisely this that makes it possible that in the original timeline, in the sixth year of Tianqi, for unexplainable reasons, a big explosion occurred in Wang Gongchang, and even the only emperor of Tianqi died in that big explosion. After the explosion, I was frightened to death.

It seems that the Wang Gong Factory explosion in history was not as simple as imagined.

Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on the throne, was not as furious as others expected when he heard about Fang Zheng Hua Ming's situation. Instead, he fell into deep thought.

Dead silence fell in Dongnuan Pavilion.

this moment.

Fang Zhenghua, Wei Zhongxian, and Liu Ruoyu all felt that time passed extremely slowly, which was more torturous than living in years. No one knew what the emperor was thinking at this moment.

"Ha ha!!!"

After an unknown amount of time, a burst of laughter made all the people kneeling in Dongnuan Pavilion lower their heads.

"Wei Banban."

Zhu Youxiao's emotionless voice made Wei Zhongxian's heart beat faster and his whole body became panicked.

"The servant is here."

Wei Zhongxian endured his fear and hurriedly bowed his head in response.

"I want to ask you, according to the "Great Edict" set by Emperor Taizu Gao, if you greedy a few taels of silver, you will be stripped and stuffed with straw?" Zhu Youxiao looked down at Wei Zhongxian, "My memory is a little bad, please tell me. "

"Slave, slave..."

Wei Zhongxian stuttered.

"Liu Ruoyu! Answer me!"

Seeing Wei Zhongxian like this, Zhu Youxiao looked at Liu Ruoyu aside with cold eyes.

"Your Majesty!"

Liu Ruoyu hurriedly said: "According to the "Da Gao" set by Emperor Taizu Gao, if the stolen goods exceed 60 taels, the head of the owl will be shown to the public, but the skin will still be peeled off!"

"The stolen goods amount to 60 taels."

Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand to touch his chin, and looked at Fang Zhenghua with his cold eyes, "Except for the scumbags who were arrested in the military battle, except for those who stole and sold gunpowder and were temporarily detained for strict interrogation, the rest were all taken to the West City and given to me. Peel off the skin one by one and fill it with grass, and the West Police Factory will be fully responsible for this matter!"

"In addition, I asked all the powerful eunuchs from the Twelve Prisons, Four Divisions and Eight Bureaus of the Inner Court to go to the West City to watch the execution. I want everyone in the world to know that even if they are my domestic slaves, if they dare to do anything illegal and disciplined, they will end up with the same fate. ,die!!"

Fang Zhenghua was shocked.

If this were to be done, not counting the eunuchs and eunuchs stationed in the inner court, there would be hundreds of people including the secretaries, chiefs, supervisors, etc.

If this is really done, the capital will be shaken.

"Also!! All the family members involved in the case will be arrested by me." Zhu Youxiao continued: "All of them will be imprisoned in Huangzhuang on the outskirts of Beijing. They will work for me to atone for their sins in this life, and they will not be pardoned!! "

Cutting the grass without removing the roots is a taboo!

Now that all those who have committed serious crimes have been caught by the Western Police Agency, their families will never be able to survive in this life.

If you enjoy the ill-gotten gains of the past, you will have to pay them back sooner or later.

It would be a pity to kill these groups, let's let them play their final value and fill the holes for the Ming Dynasty.

"The slaves obey the order."

Fang Zhenghua hurriedly kowtowed in response.

"I will continue to investigate the matter of stealing and selling gunpowder, and dig deeper!"

Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and said to Fang Zhenghua: "No matter how large or small it is, find out where this batch of gunpowder goes. The gunpowder in the War Bureau was produced from my internal funds. I want to see who is so bold." You dare to collect these gunpowder!!"

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Fang Zhenghua bowed again.
