Chapter 276 Jin Palace

In the sixth year of the Tianqi period, December, Shan/xi, Tai/yuan.

The chief censor Zhou Qiyuan, the engineering department chief Chen Liangxun, and the former prefectural prefect Huang Chengyuan, the three of them sat in the government office, with a large number of case files on the table, and a memorial to report to the Tongzheng Envoy Department that Zhou Qiyuan had just drafted.

And outside, the sound of drums blew like thunder, and it continued.

Chen Liangxun had a pale face and thin skin, his eyes were sharp, and he could not tolerate sand. He said in a deep voice: "Mr. Huang, I'm afraid we can't leave."

Huang Chengyuan opposite him and Zhou Qiyuan next to him all had a serious face and a solemn expression.

Originally, the Censorate and his group did find out many corruption and illegal matters, and they dealt with them with thunder. The case was "perfect". Just when they were about to leave Taiyuan, a group of villagers flocked in. There were complete evidence and physical evidence, suing the King of Jin's mansion, occupying the land, injuring people's lives, driving away villagers, and even slaughtering them!

Huang Chengyuan had just been transferred from Nanjing/Beijing. According to the plan of the Ministry of Personnel, he could be transferred to the governor of Fujian after one year of office, but he did not expect to encounter this incident.

King Zhu Qiugui of Jin was a famous literati, especially good at calligraphy and painting. He was in the mountains/xi, especially Tai/, and had an extremely good reputation.

Huang Chengyuan looked at Chen Liangxun, then looked at Zhou Qiyuan, who was leading the leader, and said, "Two sirs, this matter has exceeded the scope of the authority of our official. The subordinate officials suggested that they report to the Censor and the Chief Secretary for Disposal."

Chen Liangxun snorted coldly and said, "I have no right to deal with the mountain/west. I can only report it to the capital and leave it to the emperor to decide."

If it involves the royal family, let alone Taiyuan, Shanxi, even the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple have no rights and responsibilities.

Zhou Qiyuan thought of Huang Zunsu who had failed and agreed: "This official's opinion is the same. You must report it as soon as possible, otherwise it will change later, which will be detrimental to us."

Huang Chengyuan was helpless. This incident would definitely affect his official voice. However, both inspectors insisted on reporting, so he could only sign with him.

The three of them discussed and wrote down the matter in a concise manner, signed the name, and sent it to the capital in a hurry for eight hundred miles.

Taiyuan Mansion is so lively that it is impossible for the King of Jin Mansion to get no news.

The palace of the King of Jin, secret room.

King Zhu Qiugui of Jin and son Zhu Shenxuan sat opposite each other, and an old eunuch stood beside him.

Zhu Shenxuan looked cold and said, "Father, I'm just a few rural men. I'll send someone to drive them away immediately and give them some money at most. After these days, I'll want them to look good!"

Zhu Qiugui had a big belly and a round face, a calm expression. He held his stomach, as if everything had collapsed and his face remained unchanged. He said lightly: "It's too late now. The most important thing is to block the mouths of the people in the Censorate. In addition, the stations are ready to prepare, and any memorials from Taiyuan Mansion should be opened and read clearly before sending them out."

Zhu Shenxuan was puzzled and said, "Why should my father be so cautious? King Lu is so blatant. The little emperor didn't dare to do anything. He even issued an order to praise us. We only have thousands of acres of land. I don't know how to do anything to us!"

Zhu Qiugui frowned and looked up at the old eunuch next to him.

The old eunuch came from the Prince's Mansion Chengfeng Department. He looked at Zhu Qiugui and turned to Zhu Shenxuan. His body moved, and said with a smile: "Young master, don't worry. The court has deducted the annual salary of the royal family in the world and taken away the Prince's Mansion Guard. It must not last long. Our Jin Prince's Mansion cannot be the one who stands out."

Zhu Qiugui nodded in praise and looked at Zhu Shenxuan, who was taking the exam.

Zhu Shenxuan looked unbearable and said, "Can it be possible that the tens of thousands of acres of fertile land be spit out like this? Wouldn't it be a joke for the whole world? In the future, our Jin Palace wants to buy land again, who else will care?"

The old eunuch smiled and said, "It's not that easy to hand over it. It depends on whether Huang Chengyuan of the Yuan Mansion will do things."

Zhu Shenxuan was stunned and said, "What do you say?"

The old eunuch looked at Zhu Qiugui and said, "At the time when our royal mansion purchased land, all the contracts were there, but the price was lower. If Huang Chengyuan knew how to do things, it would be fine for us to compensate them for a little."

Zhu Shenxuan thoughtfully and said, "What if Huang Chengyuan is ignorant?"

The old eunuch narrowed his eyes, and shone with a dangerous light, saying, "If he is ignorant, then all his ex-girl did will be pushed onto his head. The one who came forward at that time was the ex-girl's grandfather/the former prefect!"

Zhu Shenxuan's face also moved, and he said happily: "My father-in-law is still smart. I'm not afraid that Huang Chengyuan will be disobedient. I'll go to Taiyuan Mansion and see what he says!"

"No!" As soon as Zhu Shenxuan moved, the old eunuch said coldly: "Let's not move, look at what Huang Chengyuan does. If he can't do it well, he will wait to take the blame!"

Zhu Qiugui stood up with a smile and said, "As far as my father-in-law said, we should do whatever we should do in the royal palace. There is no need to go to handle the orders of those prisoners. When they come to ask for me!"

Zhu Shenxuan was very happy, and the old eunuch bowed and smiled without saying a word.

Taiyuan Mansion, except for the villagers who sued, Taiyuan Mansion, the Censorate, and the Fang Jin Mansion involved, all fell into a strange calm.

Outside Tai/Yuan Mansion, Shili Station.

Wei Zhao sat there, with more than a dozen guards in the brocade clothes standing in front of him.

A guard was holding a memorial in his hand. If Huang Chengyuan was waiting, he would suddenly find that this was the 800-mile memorial they wrote!

"Sir, after Taiyuan Mansion came out, the memorial of the Censorate was dropped, but we stole it back." A guard said proudly.

Wei Zhao sneered and said, "The King of Jin thought he was so smart. I don't know how long we have been watching him! He sent it to the capital as it was, and also notified Eunuch Wei."

"It's an adult!"

After Wei Zhao finished all this, he picked up the knife on the table, stood up and said, "Let's go, we should do some breakfast for Lord Huang."

"yes!"

More than a dozen people, Mingdao and Mingji, left the post station and headed straight to Taiyuan Mansion.

The mountain/west is not far from the capital, and with Wei Zhongxian’s flying pigeon, the report has not arrived yet, and Zhu Xu has already learned the news in the palace.

Imperial Garden.

Zhu Xu was swaying on the swing, lying on the white clouds in the sky.

Cao Huachun bent and said, "According to the news from the Dongchang, the Jin Palace has colluded with the Taiyuan Palace in recent years, embezzled and sold food for disaster relief, embezzled and accepted bribes, and deceived the superiors and subordinates. Moreover, the Jin Palace has occupied tens of thousands of hectares of land, causing several civil unrest."

"Whenever the local prefectures and counties could not be suppressed, Taiyuan Prefecture reported to be a rebellion and asked the garrison to suppress it, and this happened repeatedly."

"The Taiyuan Prefecture, the original ward, the governor's office in Shanxi, and the Censor's Office are also involved."

"Yang Sichang is stationed in Taiyuan Mansion, and many people have invited banquets to win over."

Zhu Xuyi lay there and said staggeringly: "Not surprising, it's exactly the same as Shan/Dong. I'm afraid that it's not just them, there are probably many people doing this everywhere else."
