However, none of the officials of the Ming Dynasty had clean butts. As long as the Jinyiwei checked it briefly, each official had various problems, and it was not a small problem. He was arrested for any crime.

The Jinyiwei first arrested the yamen runners, constables and other minor officials.

The officials have more or less a bottom line when doing things. However, these lowly officials have very low social status, but they still have some power in their hands. So if they don’t use the power in their hands to do things for themselves, they would be stupid. These descendants cannot take the imperial examination for three generations. What the lowly officials think in their minds is that since their descendants cannot take the imperial examination, they should make more money and give them as compensation for their descendants.

Because of this, these minor officials did bad things and made money, which could be said to be without any bottom line. They had done all kinds of bad things, harming the people, and harming the countryside.

The Jinyiwei tried casually, and the minor officials honestly confessed a series of bad things they had done. These guys have done so many things that are harmful to the truth and directly managed their officials such as the magistrate, prison, experience, and governor. They could not be blind and deaf, and they naturally knew what the minor officials did.

In this case, why does the boss turn a blind eye to the bad things done by his subordinates? That is because the people below paid the tribute to the superiors. As long as the money is over, what else is there to say?

The Jinyiwei followed the clues and found out the grassroots officials behind them through the confessions of these minor officials.

In fact, the umbrellas behind some thugs are very big, and some even involve the officials towards the cabinet. However, at this time, the big guys behind the court only want to protect themselves. How could they put on their own hats for a few thugs? So the thugs, the thugs, the thugs and the thugs became abandoned sons for their own sake.

The bosses behind the scenes use threats and temptations to threaten and induce them, such as asking someone to bring messages to those abandoned children and tell them to confess their guilt with peace of mind, and there will naturally be someone to guarantee that their families will have no worries about food and clothing. In fact, this sentence has another meaning: If you are obedient and fight obediently, then even if you lose your head, your family will be safe. Otherwise, if the labor and capital are lost, your family will not be able to survive.

So the minions honestly confessed their guilt and surrendered the law, willingly became abandoned children, and saved the big guys behind the scenes.

In fact, Zhao Peng knew all these things well, but he was unwilling to expand the matter, so he deliberately turned a blind eye. Otherwise, with the Jinyiwei's investigation ability, none of those people would be able to escape.

After all, Zhao Peng is not the emperor, so he cannot use thunderous and iron-fisted measures to capture most of the officials in the court in one go, so that the Ming Dynasty will be paralyzed. Before the students who have received new education grow up, Zhao Peng will not kill these officials for the time being. Let's spare their lives first and settle the accounts later.

After trial, the Tongzhi of Yingtian Prefecture was sentenced to beheading 100 and exiled to Qiongzhou; the Tongzong and the Si Prison were sentenced to beheading, and the patrol inspectors were sentenced to beheading. The arrested officials and the chief officers of the government office were sentenced to exile to death.

Since Yingtian Prefecture has obviously insufficient staff after this large-scale crackdown on gangsters and evil forces, Zhao Peng dispatched a group of Jinyi Guards to Yingtian Prefecture Office and temporarily acted as temporary staff members in the government office.

Although these Jinyiwei Army Yu temporarily took over the work of the yamen runners, constables and captains, they were Jinyiwei after all, and they were not the original cheap people. They worked temporarily in the government office, and even the prefect Song had to give them face.

According to Zhao Peng's future plan, when the first batch of students from secondary schools graduated, he will implement the reform of the official system and abolish the minor officials. As long as the people working in the yamen are divided into officials and workers, headmasters, constables, prison guards, chief clerks, masters, yamen runners, etc., all belong to officials, but they are not of the class, coachman, sedan holder, white servant, etc., and belong to the worker staff in the yamen, which is similar to workers in government agencies and public institutions in later generations.

But that's all the next thing. Now Zhao Peng is going to check it out at the just-finished Academy of Sciences.

Surrounded by a group of Jinyiwei, Zhao Peng walked to the entrance of a large courtyard with the plaque "Ming Academy of Sciences" hanging at the gate. Jinyiwei standing guard at the door strictly checked the ID before putting Zhao Peng and others in.

When I walked into the courtyard of the Academy of Sciences, I saw that there were ten steps and five steps inside. They were all elite soldiers holding swords and cards and carrying powerful crossbows on their backs guarding them. The guard was so strict that even a fly outside could not fly in.

After passing through a boulevard with dense woods on both sides and a new building material (cement) pavement. On both sides of the boulevard are barracks where soldiers guarding the Academy of Sciences live. After passing through the boulevard, they will reach the second gate inside.

The Jinyiwei at the door carefully checked everyone's IDs, and even Zhao Peng was no exception. He had to hand over his waist card and let the Jinyiwei at the door inspect.

When I walked into the second gate, there was a garden with a unique world. In the second gate, there were no soldiers wearing military uniforms and armor. All scholars wearing long robes and scarves were walking around. There were also many young people dressed in Confucian scholars, who looked like Kong Wu. In fact, those young people were all Jinyiwei in plain clothes, responsible for protecting the defense of the inner layer of the Academy of Sciences.

In the second courtyard of the Academy of Sciences, small buildings and five-story residential buildings are located in the garden, which is the living area of ​​the Academy of Sciences.

The second and third-storey small buildings with a villa look like are provided to scientists such as Song Yingxing and Dai Cang. Song Yingxing is also the president of the Academy of Sciences and a second-rank official position.

Those five-story buildings are residential buildings of researchers in the Academy of Sciences. Each five-story building has two units. On the one floor of each unit, there are two suite-style houses on the left and right. The styles of the houses are two bedrooms and one living room and three bedrooms and one living room. On the east and west sides of the residential building are three bedrooms and one living room, and in the middle are two bedrooms and one living room.

Taking three bedrooms and one living room as an example, when you walk into the door of the room, there is a spacious and bright living room with glass windows in the living room. The north side of the living room is the kitchen and bathroom, and the south side is a corridor. When you walk into, there are three rooms, including a bathroom in the master bedroom.

These buildings built of cement are built at a fast speed, have a solid structure, and are comfortable to live in.

In the residential area, there are also facilities such as schools, medical rooms, canteens, libraries and chess and card rooms, which can ensure that the children of scientific researchers do not have to leave the Academy of Sciences and complete secondary schools here.

After passing through the residential area, walking through a bridge across a river, there is another wall inside, and there is a Jinyiwei standing guard at the gate. Only when you walk into this gate are you truly entering the core area of ​​the Academy of Sciences.
