"I know the family background of each official, and the salary and expenses of each official. If there is suddenly more property in their mansion, then there will be problems," said Zhu Yuanzhang.

When Li Shanchang heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he was speechless.

The emperor's meaning is no longer obvious, which is to thoroughly investigate who has how much money, how much money he has, how much he has spent, how much he has left, if it is obviously inconsistent with the person's income and cannot match the account, then the excess must be from corruption.

Doing this is simply too cruel. Although Li Shanchang respects the emperor very much, he still couldn't help but use this word in his heart.

However, although this idea is good, it is not so easy to use, because investigating everyone's property and income is a very complicated matter. Moreover, the number of people investigated will offend as many people. Although Li Shanchang is the prime minister, he also needs the support of his ministers below. If the investigation is completed like this, then everyone will offend them.

"Li Aiqing, what do you think?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked Li Shanchang.

When Li Shanchang heard Zhu Yuanzhang's question, he knew that he could not say anything else at all.

"The emperor's plan is very good." Li Shanchang said: "But this investigation requires a lot of time and energy, and it must be handed over to a capable person to do it."

"Li Aiqing, who do you think is competent?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

When I came to find myself, I was not here to ask for my opinions, but to let me choose people. Moreover, Li Shanchang also knew that although the emperor asked me like this, I am afraid that the salt man should do this, the emperor already had a suitable candidate in his heart.

To understand the superior intention is a very important aspect of the way of being an official. So, who is the candidate in the emperor’s mind?

In the entire court, civil officials were the leader of themselves. Does the emperor mean that he wanted to let himself do this? That would not work, absolutely not.

"Your Majesty, this person must be selfless and must not be a treacherous person like Hu Weiyong." Li Shanchang didn't know who he said, so he could only answer like this.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the emperor ask, "Li Aiqing, I think there is probably no other person besides you."

When Li Shanchang heard what the emperor said, he was stunned. I really have to leave this matter to himself? No, I can't agree!

"I report to the emperor, I want to share my worries for the emperor and deal with national affairs. If I take over this matter, I will inevitably distract myself. I am afraid that I am willing but not strong enough." Li Shanchang said.

"So, what do you think of Liu Ji?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Liu Ji? Is Liu Ji suitable? It seems more appropriate to let Liu Ji offend everyone. Thinking of this, Li Shanchang said: "The emperor is wise. Lord Liu is now idle at home and has nothing to do. He can help the emperor deal with this matter and rectify the order of the court. This was originally the task of Lord Liu."

"Okay, then I will draw an imperial edict later and summon Liu Ji to respond to the sky." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's statement, Li Shanchang suddenly woke up.

I was deceived. In fact, the emperor originally meant to recall Liu Ji. However, if the emperor proposed this matter in the court, he would definitely be opposed by himself. Although the emperor always liked to do his own things, he also had to consider the opinions of other ministers. So, just now, it was actually the plan of the emperor. I easily agreed to the emperor's opinion and summoned Liu Ji.

Liu Ji has been against him all the time. He spent so much effort last time, but he did not let the emperor kill Liu Ji, but just asked the emperor to drive Liu Ji back to his hometown.

I originally planned to give Liu Ji some medicine after a while, find a few people with different positions, impeach Liu Ji, and make a mistake in his hometown, and must punish Liu Ji.

Unexpectedly, I was so stupid today that I had not been punished yet, and I actually led Liu Ji to respond to the situation. This time, it was a wolf that had been brought into the house.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very calm. He knew that this kind of thing was something Li Shanchang was unwilling to do. In the past, what Li Shanchang was best at doing was to mix with civil servants and generals, but now this task was to crack down on corruption everywhere and would offend those people. Liu Ji had always been upright. In the past, he was impeached by so many officials because Liu Ji had attacked corrupt officials and offended many people.

He had been idle at home for several months. Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it was time to let Liu Ji come back. Liu Ji must be missing from the court.

Liu Ji's biggest characteristic is that he is upright and not afraid of power. In simple terms, he is a stubborn and does not know how to adapt to the officialdom. It is this personality that makes Zhu Yuanzhang like it even more. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang was most at ease with Liu Ji to rectify the administration of the government.

If Liu Ji was there, he would not have waited until Hu Weiyong did this before he discovered that Hu Weiyong had embezzled and accepted bribes.

So many have been taken down by Liu Ji long ago.

Besides, the court seemed to be smooth sailing and nothing big happened, but this was what Zhu Yuanzhang was most worried about, which shows that all the officials stood beside the prime minister. This was not good news for Zhu Yuanzhang.

When Liu Ji was dismissed from his official position, it was originally for these subordinates to see. Now, if there is something useful to Liu Ji, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally wanted to recall Liu Ji. Moreover, the best thing is that he did not call Liu Ji back, and the Prime Minister agreed very much.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Shanchang as if he had eaten something difficult to swallow. His face looked very strange and he felt a little proud in his heart. No matter what his actions and actions were, these officials could not escape their palms.

………

Outside the Meridian Gate, the person who had always stood still seemed to be tireless, and did not avoid it under the sun. The breeze blew, and his clothes fluttered, but the person's body was motionless and there seemed to be no expression on his face.

"Mom, that person is so strange. Why doesn't he walk while standing?" A little girl passing by held her mother's hand with one hand and pointed her with the other hand at the man and asked.

"That's a scarecrow. There are many in our fields. There is nothing good to look at. Let's go." The woman said, holding Xiao's hand and leaving quickly.

The people all heard about the scarecrow. It was a corrupt official. In order to punish the corrupt official, the emperor peeled off his skin, then stuffed straw into it and showed it there.

The emperor is really wise. This corrupt official should receive such retribution. With this precedent, all officials have restrained a lot during this period. Each of them has received the silver subsidized by the court, which has been delayed for more than a year. The people applauded.

Those passing by looked at this place, and some people came here specifically just to see the scarecrow. If it weren't for the order, they wouldn't have defiled the scarecrow. There would have been countless rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves thrown on the scarecrow.

An old man, with the help of a woman, also walked to the nearby area, glanced at the scarecrow, left tremblingly, and disappeared into the alley.

In the north of the city, in an ordinary courtyard.

"Dong, dongdong." A knock on the door came. Although I couldn't hear anything special, I could feel the rhythm of the knocking door different from that of ordinary people. This is a unique code. When I heard it, I was my own person.

Open the door and enter the yard

The old man's hunched body straightened up all of a sudden, and he stepped into the room with great strides. While supporting his woman, he became relaxed instantly.

The beard stuck in front was removed, and the old man showed a young and stylish face. He was not an old man, but he was clearly a young man.

The man picked up the tea bowl on the table, poured a bowl of water, and raised his head, and the water went into his stomach.

"Along the way, I didn't dare to drink water, for fear of getting rid of this beard. I'm so thirsty." After the man said that, he poured another glass and then drank it.

"Crazy." The bead curtain sounded, and a person came by in the back hall. When he saw the man, his face was immediately filled with surprise: "Brother Feng, are you here?"

"Well, I'm going back to Dadu soon, so I'll come here to take a look." Chen said: "Xiao E, you've done a good job. You've done a good job so quickly, and you've got the goal off."

"Xiao'e, thank you for your hard work." The woman following Chen Feng said with a smile, her voice was sweet, it was Lan Yuhan.

Han E looked at the two of them. It was not easy to come to Yingtian this time. She thought it would take a long time to see them, but she would see them so soon.

"Madam, Brother Feng, you have been awarded the prize. Xiao E is just a lucky one this time." Han E said.

"Xiao E, this is not a lucky thing, it's all achieved by your hard work." Chen Feng said.

Of course, Chen Feng knew that it was possible to completely achieve Hu Weiyong this time, and it was definitely not a lucky thing to let Hu Weiyong die so miserably. Han E had already done her best.

Han E also sighed in her heart that she certainly knew that she worked very hard.

The focus of this time was that the gangster of the martial arts world. The Jinyiwei captured the gangster of the martial arts world, but after the interrogation was tried, Han E decided to use this as a breakthrough. Just so, the person sent by Xue Wanyu was the fellow villager of the Jinyiwei Zhou Jie. Therefore, he approached Zhou Jie, gained Zhou Jie's trust, and at the same time found out the matter of the Jinyiwei. Afterwards, Han E sent someone to pretend to be Li Er and was arrested by the Jinyiwei, as the immortal doctor Zhou Lang. These were actually taking certain risks. The whole link

The most important thing in the past is to gain the trust of Ren Shang. The part of beating the drum in front of Dali Temple was the key point. After several selections, Han E found the suitable old man and staged a good show, which successfully made the emperor fall into the main point, believing that the Jinyiwei was arresting people randomly. Later, the emperor saw the memorial and went to the Jinyi personal army commander to ask questions. He happened to encounter the dispute between Li Shilu and Hu Weiyong. It seemed accidental, but also the result of Han E's careful arrangement. He successfully let Li Er be released and Hu Weiyong was sent to the guillotine.
