The accountant was an old man, over 60 years old. He nodded while touching his beard and said, "Yes, the court does not issue grain now, it is all silver notes. In addition to the monthly salary of 270 taels, our master also has a "cashing money" of 1,000 taels per year. In addition, the Zhou family subscribed 100 hectares of reclamation land in Liaodong. These are the people of our Zhou family responsible for recruiting people to reclaim. Each acre of the imperial court gives three taels of silver. At present, fifty hectares have been reclaimed, and this is how the silver outside the account book comes."

"Reclaiming the land?" Wang Yuyang was stunned and said, "Is this a task assigned by the court? Or is it that Zhou Shangshu volunteered?"

The accountant said: "It's not worth staking. This is the method that Shangshu Fu thought of, to reclaim the wasteland in Liaodong and resettle the victims in the southwest. It is still only a small-scale one. Our master said that we will inform the world next year to encourage the reclaiming of Liaodong."

Wang Yuyang knew the drought in the Ming Dynasty in recent years, nodded gently and said, "Then, is there any other harvest in Shangshu Zhou?"

The accountant was stunned, and then he said in a scattered manner: "No."

Wang Yuyang understood, his eyes turned cold, he slapped the table and said, "Let's go back and examine those three people!"

She figured it out, and Liu Shimin knew all this clearly. She asked her to investigate not only to restore Zhou Yingqiu's innocence, but also to find out who was making trouble behind the scenes!

This may involve a fight between the officials of the court, but this made her even more excited.

Wang Yuyang left Zhou Yingqiu's mansion. After walking a few steps, he suddenly said to Shaoyao and Mudan behind him, "You two people who go to the Ministry of Justice, go to the Ministry of Personnel and Li's mansion every time you have an incense stick, and then change our people into clothes and cover their faces. The more the movement, the better."

Shaoyao has also been trained by Wang Yuyang recently, and he heard this and said, "Fifth Sister, are you going to alert the enemy?"

Wang Yuyang hummed twice and said, "Turn the snake out of the hole!"

Shaoyao understood and said, "Okay, I'll do it now!"

As soon as Shaoyao and Peony left, Hehua looked at Wang Yuyang and whispered: "Fifth Sister, I know something, don't you know it is useful?"

Wang Yuyang said as he walked: "Tell me, let me see."

Hehua said: "I heard that many people have impeached Shangshu Zhou recently. Can we check it out from these people?"

Wang Yuyang's eyes lit up and he said, "Let's go to Silijian to find Eunuch Liu and ask him to give you a list. It would be better if you can see the memorial."

The lotus nodded slightly and said, "Okay."

The two entered Xihua Gate, one went back to the six gates, and the other ran towards the Sili Supervisor.

Wang Yuyang immediately interrogated the three people. They seemed to have figured out something and were very calm. They were not surprised or afraid when they saw Wang Yuyang.

Wang Yuyang sat there, with a majestic face and sharp eyes, and said, "I know that you must be waiting for the people behind you to save you, but don't think about it. The emperor doesn't know when he will return to Beijing, and King Xin has no power to appoint and remove the Minister of Personnel. Therefore, if the emperor does not return to Beijing for a day, you will have no room for a day to turn over, and tomorrow, Secretary Zhou will return to Beijing. If he wants to punish you, you will not be able to survive for a long time..."

Before Wang Yuyang finished speaking, the three of them changed their expressions and looked at each other. Finally, the eyes of the other two fell on the scholar.

The scholar had a hint of anxiety on his face, but he pretended to be calm and said, "We are suing, and there is evidence. Even Shangshu Zhou cannot do anything to us!"

Wang Yuyang sneered and said, "I hope you are lucky. Zhou Shangshu is really a good person who can hold a boat in his belly."

All three of them frowned. There are no good people in the world, especially those who are officials. One of them is Zhou Yingqiu's nephew, one is a servant, and the other is a student. If Zhou Yingqiu cannot defeat him, with Zhou Yingqiu's power, they will be dead!

But the people who promise them have more benefits. They also want to gamble with their heads!

So, all three of them remained silent.

Wang Yuyang sneered more and more, and said, "You think I can't find out if you don't say anything. I just need to check who you are close to and who you have been close to recently, and you can find out your behind-the-scenes envoy! Since your behind-the-scenes envoy uses this method to deal with Shangshu Zhou, it means that he is not strong enough. When Shangshu Zhou returns to Beijing, he will be unable to protect himself first!"

The three of them changed their faces. They were relying on the people behind them. They also knew that Zhou Yingqiu is now in a high position and powerful position, and is deeply favored by the emperor. If he deals with a person, there are only a few who can stop him, not to mention that person is still in the wild and has no power or power!

The three of them panicked and looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Wang Yuyang sat there, a smile flashing from the corner of his mouth.

The three of them looked at each other for a while, and suddenly the servant shouted: "Sir, I was forced. They said that if I don't agree, I will take my house and send my father to prison! I have no choice..."

As soon as the family member opened his mouth, the nephew also quickly shouted, "Sir, they said, if I do what they said, I will give me an official position and let me be the prefect of Yangzhou Prefecture!"

With these two moves, the scholar who wanted to fight against the first one had to grit his teeth and said, "Sir, they promised me that as long as I do it well, I will be the second place in the imperial examination next year!"

Wang Yuyang smiled sarcastically and said, "I have not given you any benefits in fact. You really dare to agree. Let me tell you, who asked you?"

The clerk hesitated for a moment and said, "He is a servant, who is said to be from the Zhang Shangshu family."

Wang Yuyang was stunned and said, "Shangshu Zhang? Which Shangshu Zhang?"

The servant was also afraid that Wang Yuyang would misunderstand, so he hurriedly said: "It was the Minister of Works of the Ministry of Works during the Tianqi period, Zhang Fuzhi."

Wang Yuyang nodded and turned to Zhou Yingqiu's nephew. The nephew's body trembled and said, "It was Xiong Wenju, he said he was following the orders of Feng Quan and Feng Ge Lao."

Wang Yuyang's face was moved, not only involved the former minister, but also the cabinet master!

Finally, the scholar looked at Wang Yuyang and gritted his teeth and said, "It was the younger brother of Zhou Yanru, Lord Zhou's son-in-law who came to me. If it weren't for Lord Zhou's sake, I wouldn't dare offend Zhou Shangshu!"

Wang Yuyang's eyes changed, which also involved Zhou Yanru from Wen Zhao Pavilion. Will it involve King Xin?

It would be a big deal to involve King Xin, and it is very likely that it would involve "rebellion". Even if King Ping is the backer of such a big case, she would feel numb and feel a little nervous.

He Hua hurried in from outside, glanced at the three people, and whispered in Wang Yuyang's ear, "Fifth sister, these impeachers are all from the former Censorate, and some are officials who have retired before."

Wang Yuyang blinked. Isn’t Wang Xin very close to the original Censorate officials?

He Hua looked at Wang Yuyang's expression and whispered: "Eunuch Liu said, remember what he said."

Wang Yuyang's heart suddenly moved, what did Eunuch Liu say?

Is it necessary to resolve the case before King Xin comes back? Leave King Xin out?

‘Okay, no matter whether it is, there is no evidence to prove that King Xin has participated, so arrest people first!’
