Chapter 741: The Black Sheep

In the Ministry of Revenue Department, more than a dozen officials sat around the ear room to drink tea. The tea was clouds and mist in the Lushan Mountains, and the fragrant tea was rare in the capital, but few people were thinking about it. Now there are panic everywhere. Just now, the Beijing Officer had already gone to the Ministry of Justice. This Ministry of Revenue is the best department in the world. It is impossible for him to have no movement at all. I just don’t know when the fire will be burned to the Ministry of Revenue.

After all, the Ministry of Revenue is extraordinary. To put it bluntly, who can come here to be an official without any background? For example, Zhang Ming, the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue who is drinking tea, is the father-in-law of the Duke of Qin. The Duke of Qin is Zhao Ji's fifteenth prince. Although he is not old, he is still a nobleman and will be crowned king sooner or later. Therefore, the people here belong to Zhang Ming the most comfortable. No matter how much the fire is burned, it will not burn him. He just watches the fire from the other side of the river. It is impossible to say that if the ministers on both sides are rubbed down all at once, the Ministry of Revenue will still have a vacancy. From the heart, Zhang Ming supports the Beijing Inspection. Only with the Beijing Inspection will there be vacancy and there will be further opportunities.

"It's only three days, and I lost more than 40 black veils in one go. What can I do if this continues? I heard that even Yang Zhen's disciple was just a lie and sent him away. What exactly does Yang Zhen want to do? Is it true that he will not recognize his relatives? Are you afraid that someone will poke the backbone?"

After drinking tea, the chat started. Of course, the topic of yours is something that is currently related to your own personal interests.

Some people started talking, some pushed, some were worried, and some were talking in annoyance.

"I haven't seen Yang Zhen so crazy before. Because of their disturbance, many families were destroyed. Just because of this, Lord Liu from the Ministry of Rites started the rebellion early yesterday morning and went home to hang himself at noon." A minister gritted his teeth and said, "If I were a family member named Liu, I would carry Lord Liu's corpse to Yang's house to make trouble. Anyway, I can't live anymore, so I'll just turn the world upside down."

Speaking of this, some people kept talking: "I know this, Lord Liu's brother is thinking about this matter now and wants to avenge Lord Liu."

Everyone immediately became excited: "What? How to take revenge?"

The person who spoke before stopped and smiled faintly and drank a tea ceremony: "It's definitely something to make trouble, it depends on how to make trouble."

"I just felt strange. Why didn't Your Majesty care about it? It was so messy."

"It's not certain that this matter has something to do with Shen Ao. King Pingxi and Yang Zhen submitted a memorial together. His holy family was there. His Majesty did not obey him?"

When it comes to King Pingxi, everyone is silent. They really dare not say anything bad about King Pingxi. Are there fewer people who have fallen on King Pingxi in the past two years? If you reason with others, he will use his fists to you, and you will play hard with him. He draws out his sword and kills first and then plays. It is better to try to deal with such people as little as possible.

Seeing everyone's worried look, Zhang Ming couldn't help but smile and said with a smile: "Actually, there is no need to be afraid of anything. Yang Zhen is just a new official. He always wants to do something to keep his name in history. It will be fine after a few days. The Ministry of Revenue is different from other places. It is the lifeblood of the world. It will not be possible to do things without people."

Someone smiled bitterly and said, "Of course, there is no need to worry, but we are different. After all, the relationship is not strong enough, and the superior may not be willing to stand up for us." After that, he sighed and shook his head: "In another seven or eight years, I should retire. I happened to have encountered such a thing at this time. If I were really cared for the genitals, would I still have the face to be a human being? If I cared for the genitals, I would have to healed that Lord Liu, and hang it to death with a rope."

Everyone smiled and comforted, Zhang Ming said, "You can't say that. If you want to be more open, you can just make a fuss."

Every word you say, occasionally a few clerks will come in and ask one or two adults to go out to handle official duties. They will sit until the sun is west and it is time to go back to the house. At this moment, a clerk will come in. When Zhang Ming saw it, he frowned: "What are you doing in a daze? Are there any rules?"

The clerk panted and said, "It's not good, Jingchao is here."

There was an uproar in the ear room. Unexpectedly, Jingcha came so quickly, everyone was solemn. Zhang Ming also stood up and said, "Go out and take a look."

A red robe official came over with several palace vanguards. Now the Beijing Inspectors who were walking in Bianjing are selected from the new Jinshi. After all, the new Jinshi has not organized a network of relationships and is not well-informed, so they are effective. This Beijing Inspector is just a young man with a beard that has not yet reached his knees. His chin was slightly raised. When he saw officials from the Ministry of Revenue flocking over, he said loudly: "The decree of the Ministry of Revenue... Zhang Ming, the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue... the Ministry of Revenue..."

More than a dozen names were called out, and the Beijing Chajia emphasized: "The above people neglect their duties and corruption of money and food. Now that the matter is revealed, who has any objection?"

More than a dozen officials from the Ministry of Revenue looked at each other. Some of the people who called him were on duty and some were not. There were only more than 70 officials in the Ministry of Revenue. In this way, 20% were missing at once, which was really shocking. Those who were called the name had already collapsed in a state of ashes. Those who did not call him, although they were lucky, their legs were still trembling, and they were extremely afraid.

Jingcha said coldly: "Come here, I took off the official robes of these people, took off the black veil, and sent it out!"

The palace vanguard was like a wolf and a tiger, and the chaotic person was in a hurry. Zhang Ming, who had been smug before, was stunned at first. He never thought that the dismissal of office had been put on his head. He thought he had heard it wrong. Now that he reacted, he couldn't help but curse: "Old thief Yang Zhen, I, Zhang Ming, are irreconcilable with you. You picked my husband's black veil, I want your life!"

After a while, the palace vanguard had already taken his black veil. Many colleagues came over to persuade him, saying, "Sir, don't be tempted to act. Let's go back and rest for two days before walking around the road. You can always remove this person."

Zhang Ming ignored him and cursed himself, which made many people feel sad. For a moment, the entire Ministry of Revenue was in a mess. Those clerks who were in charge did not dare to show up. Seeing that Shangguan had fallen to this point, they were all cold and shiver, thinking to themselves, even those of the third and fourth ranks are like this, can we, the minor officials who are not in the right place still survive?"

The whole of Bianjing has changed drastically. The officials in the court went home immediately on duty, neither banqueting guests nor scattering the market. Not only them, but even some children and nephews from various families were warned and were not allowed to go out and stay at home honestly. When on duty, no matter whether they were in trouble, they dared not be leisurely anymore. They had to find something to do if they had nothing to do. The subordinates handed over the *** to clean up the cost of river management, or to ask the Ministry of Justice to hand over the list of criminals who were asked to be executed last month and after the autumn. Usually, they had to delay for ten or half a month. Now it only took three or two days. Everyone became a lantern and refused to be idle.

As an official, of course, the minor officials below should not think about it. They usually have to worry about the clerks when they are having a leisurely tea. Now the adults are so busy that they can’t get away. You still want to be idle, don’t even think about it?

Jingzhao Mansion is the most unlucky. Compared with those ministries, Jingzhao Mansion is really nothing. If you want to protect your future, you have to act like this, so you don’t have to go to the streets. In order to maintain public order, the soap official kept going out to the streets. In order to prevent these people from being lazy, the officials who have always been reluctant to leave the yamen actually went out to inspect in three orders.

As a result, even the atmosphere of Bianjing has been improved. The ruffians and scammers on the street have disappeared. In addition, the yamen, who have always been swaggering in the city, dare not go out. It is difficult for the emperor to encounter a case in a day.

How can we do without a case? If there is no case, we have to create a case. Otherwise, wouldn’t the judge of Jingzhao Prefecture have nothing to do? Nothing to do means that we may be dismissed at any time. As a last resort, everyone can only find old cases for trial. These cases are actually trivial matters. The disputes caused by a tree from a neighborhood that has passed the courtyard wall to another family, and the tear caused by a steamed bun. In the past, Jingzhao Prefecture will take care of this. When you are in a good mood, a lieutenant will be sent to both sides to intimidate them, telling them not to cause trouble, and to arrest anyone who makes trouble. This is still diligent. The miser will sue for such trivial matters, and most of the time, he ignores them.

Nowadays, such trivial cases have become popular now. Why? Only by finding things can the Beijing Office know that this official is still useful, and the court still needs it. The official has never squatted in the pit and did not shit, thieves, killing and setting fires, and so on. After all, there are very few cases, and it may not be possible to hit a few in a month. These big cases have become important means to keep the black sha.

A record was immediately created in Jingzhao Mansion. A judge named Deng sat in the hall for one day and cleaned up old cases. He actually tried more than fifty cases in one day. When it was time to go to the hall, he refused to leave. He lit a candle to continue the trial. He automatically and consciously worked overtime and did not pay for overtime. He was busy until the third update. He couldn't bear it anymore and was carried back.

As a result, the next day, a judge named Zhou *** immediately gritted his teeth and cursed. This bastard actually tried all the old cases. What did he ask the official to judge? It was simply outrageous. This is not counting. He has tried more than fifty cases a day, and you are an official in the same court. You are a colleague under the roof. Would you be embarrassed to examine a case of ten or eight? Then, after a Beijing investigation, he will investigate. Wow, Judge Deng’s workload is more than fifty a day, but you only have seven or eight. Although seven or eight were not considered a small amount in the past, in this comparison, you said that you did not neglect your duties. Isn’t it a redundant employee to believe it?
