Chapter 401

There was an imperial censor who broke out on the spot. You should know that they are important officials in Beijing and have experience in patrolling places. Wherever they go, they will be ceremoniously welcomed by local officials and people.

Now, they come to each other to investigate cases and accountability. These officials don't pay attention to them at all, which makes them very angry. An imperial censor said on the spot: "Yangzhou officials don't want to be this official anymore."

Wu Zongda was also very angry. You know, he was an official in Qingliu, and he was also a Qingliu in Qingliu. He had been an official among Qingliu officials all over the world. He was a very powerful person, especially when he served as the Imperial College to offer wine. He was a real ox man and organized two imperial examinations, which was famous all over the world, He was very angry that these people were so indifferent to him.

You should know that they are the Imperial Envoys ordered by the imperial court to deal with this matter. They are in control of the fate of these people. They don't take it as one thing at all. This is a real slap in the face, which makes them very angry.

Wu Zongda is a little weak in dealing with people and things, and some are indifferent to the world, but not fighting does not mean that he does not love face. Seeing these people so cold, he broke out on the spot and said to Tian lingpedestrian, his high-looking deputy who came to welcome him: "call Zhu Dadian right away, otherwise I won't go to the city."

He believed that if his imperial envoy's car was waiting here, it would be blocked outside the city gate and people were not allowed to enter or leave, it would paralyze Yangzhou city. These officials would be worried.

You should know that they are now at the north gate of Yangzhou City, which is also called Yingbei building. It is one of the main transportation hubs. They are blocked on the official roads and guard the key points. If they stay here for a long time, it must not be the way. The local officials must eat and die.

Wu Zongda has always been a weak character, but he is really not respected. If he is really beaten in the face, he can't bear it. Honest people will be angry if they can't bear it. He is thinking that my old man is blocked here. You people must beg for mercy.

Who knows that people don't care about them at all. They poke here like road pegs, trying to block other people's roads and prevent people from entering the city. Who knows that no one cares about them at all. These officials intercept here, and these people turn a blind eye and pass by directly. Such a scene makes these court officials, I felt very shocked.

You know, all of them have full guards of honor. They can open the way and let others go. But now they are all in the middle of the official road. These people don't even avoid it and come directly.

At most, they didn't rush over directly, but walked around one side. They didn't have the fear of being an official. Seeing this scene, Wu Zongda was completely angry. He said: "it's a failure to be a magistrate in high hope. How did he educate the place."

But at the same time, they were embarrassed to death. They stood here, and no one paid attention to them. No one took him as one thing, which made them even more shameless and skinnless. It was also difficult for the sword to get into the scabbard. Finally, no one paid attention to it. They still set up their own guard of honor and bitterness, and entered the post house in the city.

You should know that if senior officials of their level come to the place, the local Commissioner will try his best to curry favor with them. He never has to worry about having no place to live. Now, there is no one to greet and ignore them. They have to live in the post tube arranged by the Imperial court.

You should know that Yangzhou is the richest place in the world. When the rich are rich, they like to curry favor with officials. Every time they come, the rich will curry favor with each other. Even some people promise great benefits and conditions in order to meet the officials of the imperial court, which can only be obtained through bidding.

The officials sent by the imperial court this time are of high standard, but the local response is very cold and no one welcomes them.

This is mainly the ordinary rich. Most of them are bankrupt and most of them have no money. Since they are bankrupt and have no money, they naturally have no ability to welcome these imperial officials. You know, they flatter and flatter these imperial officials, but they need to spend money. If they have no quality, others will say that you don't respect the Constitution and despise officials.

Now nine out of ten of the rich in Yangzhou have gone bankrupt. Who has spare money to greet them? Although Zhu Dadian shouted the slogan that money owed is uncle, there are few who can really owe money.

In addition to Liu Bu, Zhu Dadian, Gao Wang and other senior officials, their creditors dare not come to urge them for debt, and dare not come to urge them. Like others, even if you have more money, such as the four famous salt merchants, they have been urged for debt and went bankrupt one after another. Yangzhou city is now full of sadness, shrouded in an atmosphere of despair and sadness.

The people on the street come and go in a hurry, most of them are insensitive, and the beggars and beggars on the street are much more obvious. For example, a large number of guests in restaurants and brothels are reduced. Such a scene is that Wu Zongda, as an outsider, observed secretly when they entered the city. They found that it was just a big mistake. The failure of incubating silver had a great impact on the local area.

When they entered the post house, no officials or local celebrities came to visit, but the copper cabinet at the gate of the post house was only one night, and countless whistleblowing letters were sent.

These informers mainly reported that Hong Chengchou, Zhu Dadian, Liu Bu, Gao Wang and others colluded with their subordinates to set up a situation of incubating silver and deceived everyone's money. None of these informers knew who they were. The other party was the informer, and the private letter was reported to the imperial envoy.

Even Hong Chengchou in Shaanxi, Zhu Dadian in Fengyang, and Liu Bu, who suppressed bandits locally, were reported by them. Even several dignitaries and dignitaries in Nanjing were reported, that is to say, all the dignitaries in Jiangnan were reported. It can be said that these people should have no evidence. They reported indiscriminately, and their money was gone, They were completely flustered and scared, so they thought that someone stole their money and was able to steal their money. Of course, he was an official. I believe that if Wu Zongda was an official here, he would also be reported.

So Wu Zongda looked at these report letters and seemed a little disapproval. He said to the overjoyed imperial historians: "it's impossible to investigate Hong Chengchou and Zhu Dadian just by relying on these report letters. Can anyone register this report? It's a secret report. No one will believe these things at all."

Another thing is that they are wearing the flower hat of the imperial court, but it is also very difficult for them to overwhelm the local leaders with the authority of the imperial court. You know, these local leaders are quite dissatisfied with the imperial court. Dignitaries and courtiers patrol the places and investigate cases on behalf of the Imperial court, The fact that no one came to visit or greet the place itself shows the problem.

Moreover, the strength taken by the imperial court in this matter was very weak. You know, the imperial court only gently condemned such a thing.

It is estimated that those big men in the imperial court also understand one thing, that is, the sincerity of these officials is not easy to provoke, especially those local powerful factions who have military power. They have military power in hand, are unscrupulous, have no fear, and have no fear.

In the past, the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to literary officials and despised military generals. They didn't feel good and killed them when they said to kill them. But now, for these military generals in the central court, especially those who mastered military power, they don't kill them when they said to kill them. In particular, yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong without authorization, which caused disastrous consequences, It also made these civil servants and the imperial court think twice when they attacked these generals.

Therefore, not only the imperial court taboo the strength of these people, but also officials in these places taboo the strength of Zhu Dadian, Liu Bu and others. You should know why they just secretly complain and accuse them of taking away the silver. No one dares to publicly say that they want to investigate them, because everyone knows that Liu Bu is not easy to offend. Offending Liu Bu is a dead end.

They are afraid of offending Liu Bu in these places. Isn't he afraid of Wu Zongda, a hollow big man? Although Wu Zongda is a clean flow man, he also knows that the knife is in the hands of Liu Bu and others. They can do whatever they want in the place unscrupulously. If they did it, would he spit out after swallowing so much silver? If they make any extreme behavior or stimulate their behavior, they will take risks and launch a mutiny. Once they take risks and launch a mutiny, there is no doubt that they will become the object of their flag worship.

In this way, Wu Qinda just threw aside these whistleblowing letters. He just laughed at the proposal of several imperial censors who threatened to summon Zhu Dadian and Liu BU for questioning.

Wu Zongda knows that if he forces himself to do this, he will only lose face. You order Liu Bu to come here. Of course, it is an act of impulse, and they do it happily. But what should you do if the other party doesn't implement it and doesn't bird you? It's really a shame that it's hard to get into the scabbard and get down.

So Wu Zongda is an understanding person. He must be one of his tasks to investigate the silver here, but he knows that no matter who gets the silver, it should not be recovered. Who will spit it out? If it were Wu Zongda, he wouldn't spit it out, let alone others.

They had no soldiers and no rights. Originally, Wu Zongda had another idea. He came with the secret instructions of the emperor's cabinet. Once he had enough evidence that Liu Bu and Zhu Dadian did it, he would take the other party with a decree. Of course, there must be soldiers. Where did the soldiers come from? Of course it was transferred from the local guard station, but when he saw the soldiers of the local guard station, he gave up the idea.
