Ding Qi also nodded and said: "Tianjin Wei has been slowly trying to post it, and many can accept it. After all, it is guaranteed by the governor Kou and can be taken out at any time. It is not possible in Suzhou. The impact is too great, I am afraid it will disturb the court. ."
Paying salaries to officials with silver bills can only be tested in small places. If the court is alerted, it may lead to disaster.
Zhou Zheng nodded slightly, and suddenly said: "Li Shangshu suddenly thought about paying back the money, for fear that something happened in the court, tell Chengjiu to take precautions."
Ding Qimeng's scalp was numb, and said: "Second brother, you mean, the court might want to deal with us?"
Zhou Zheng smiled faintly and said: "The court is extremely short of money. It's not surprising that someone has the idea of making a ticket."
Ding Qi looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "Then, Zhou Shoufu?"
Zhou Zheng sneered and said: "This chief assistant is afraid that he wants to cut with us. Don't worry, let him do it first. After doing it, he should come to see me."
Ding Qi's expression was tense, and she didn't dare to be careless, and said: "I will return to Beijing immediately and be fully prepared to quietly evacuate all people related to the ticket number."
Zhou Zheng was very relieved to Ding Qi and said, "Suzhou also wrote to it to prevent them from doing it at the same time."
Ding Qi responded, Tianjin Wei didn't have to worry about it at all. They belonged to them.
Zhou Zheng was sitting in the carriage, thinking that Zhou Yanru's "joking" when he was parting in Tianjin Wei was about to be fulfilled.
…
Zhou Zheng passed through Shanhaiguan Pass and returned to Ningyuan. He continued to rotate and train the troops in the three places according to his plan to eliminate corruption and clean up, strengthen training, and strive to train several elite troops.
At the end of May, as expected by Zhou Zheng, the Criminal Department suddenly made a move and sent people to surround the Zhou's ticket number and conduct a large-scale search.
The leader was Dong Zhen, the chief of the Criminal Department. He stood at the door, watching coldly at the trembling ticket number buddies, accountants and others, while the criminal department's arresting bureaucrats were searching around the ticket number.
Not long after, a head-catcher walked over with a solemn expression, and whispered in Dong Zhen’s ear: "My lord, only three thousand taels of broken silver were found. They seemed to have received the news before that the ledger was transferred away, and we didn’t. What was found."
Dong Zhen's eyes changed slightly. He looked at a middle-aged, trembling and wincing accountant. He slammed it over and said in a harsh tone: "Say! Where is the treasury? Where is the account book? If you dare to cheat. I'm half a sentence, I will send your family to the border!"
Defending the side is more cruel than beheading, it is a real torture to death!
The accountant almost didn't stand still and knelt down, and hurriedly said: "My lord, the treasury is a heavy land, how does the villain know? The address of the treasury is known only by the treasurer of the Shangguan. The account books and the account books were taken away before a stick of incense."
Dong Zhen's eyes were almost murderous and said: "You really don't know?"
The accountant was about to cry, and said, "My lord, the villain must know that I won't be left on it. Those of us just ran to the front. We don't know anything else..."
The catcher looked at the expression on the account, and said in a low voice: "Master Dong, I don't think he lied. It should be that we leaked the news before we came. This Zhou's ticket number is very deep."
Dong Zhen’s face was so gloomy as ink, he wanted to kill the accountant in front of him. At this moment, a young man at the counter tremblingly stepped forward and handed over an account book. Your lord."
Dong Zhen was startled with the head catcher, and looked at each other with shocked expressions on their faces.
Dong Zhen snatched it over, turned it over, his expression changed drastically, and he slammed together, and said in a deep voice, "If you have taken them all, I will come as soon as I go."
The head catcher knew that what Dong Zhen saw should be something he couldn't handle, so he quickly responded, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
The seven or eight mates of Zhou's ticket number, the accountant, were huddled together, their expressions were very disturbed, even if the people above told them that there would be nothing wrong before they left.
Dong Zhen took this account book and did not return to the Xing Department, but went straight to Zhou Yanru's residence.
Zhou Yanru has been waiting for news, sitting in the pavilion drinking tea, still analyzing the pros and cons.
His relationship with Zhou Zheng dates back many years. Zhou Zheng does have some handles in his hands. If he can get millions of dollars from Zhou's ticket number this time, it will be enough to offset what Zhou Zheng has in his hands. And he won the Sacred Heart, and at the same time, he is no longer under the coercion of Zhou Zheng, and he will be a happy first assistant!
Dong Zhen hurried in, ignoring other things, and said, "Yuanfu, take a look at this."
Zhou Yanru was about to ask. Seeing Dong Zhen's restless look, he took it and looked around, and his face suddenly changed.
This is an account book with only two names on it, one is him Zhou Yanru, the other is the eunuch Wang Chengen.
There is no need to say more about him, Zhou Yanru. The last time he was deposed was because of corruption and bribery, buying and selling officials, the above record is very clear. Wang Chengen has no property himself, but his family's property has increased by nearly a hundred times in recent years, and the amount of silver deposited in Zhou's ticket number is as high as 200,000 taels!
Zhou Yanru stared at this memorial with a grim expression and bloodshot eyes, as if to split!
This account book is just a warning, Zhou Zheng came to warn him!
If this account book is known to others, Wang Chengen may not have anything to do, then Zhou Yanru must be dead!
The court will not let him go. Even if Chongzhen is soft-hearted, Wang Chengen will not. Holding the handle of the Wang family, Wang Chengen will not let the family be in danger no matter how political affairs are concerned!
Dong Zhen knew the stakes, looked at Zhou Yanru’s expression, with a cold sweat on his head, and said, "Yuanfu, what should I do? The Zhou’s ticket number is obviously well prepared, everything is ready, and he waits to be dismissed. Someone missed his breath early in the morning..."
Zhou Yanru looked at this account book, the corners of his face kept twitching. Suddenly, his expression returned to his expression, and he put down the account book indifferently, and said calmly: "How did Zhou Zhengyun say that he is also a second-tier member of the imperial court. He has been in the capital for more than ten years. It’s not surprising that the old man underestimated him."
Zhou is a second-tier member. In the military, the imperial court has a huge influence. With the touch of his finger, he can crush a seventh-tier official like Dong Zhen to death.
Dong Zhen looked uneasy and said in a panic: "My lord, what should I do now?"
Zhou Yanru smiled softly and said, "It's nothing, what can Zhou Zhengyun do to me? Go ahead, just say that there is no evidence and withdraw the people. Tell them that Ma Shiying was transferred to the minister of the household and Kou Huaiyi was transferred to the head of the Dali Temple. There is no problem."
Listening to Zhou Yanru's words, Dong Zhen couldn't think in his head, so he could only respond: "Yes, the villain will go now."
Zhou Yanru stiffened his face, watching Dong Zhen walk away, only then did he puff out, a mouthful of blood came out, his face was pale and terrifying, and his eyes were very shameful, flashing alternately.
Zhou Yanru didn't expect that Zhou Yanru was so prepared, just waiting for him to jump inside!
From then on, not only did he show that he could not take off Zhou Zheng, he had to become Zhou Zheng's marionette!
"Zhuzi is hateful!" Zhou Yanru's mouth was bloody, his throat was hoarse, and his eyes were flushed with a low growl. (End of this chapter)
