"Open the door!"

"Open the door quickly, or the uncle will kick it!"

Wu Mansion.

Two majestic stone lions were squatting outside the door, the big red wooden door was tightly closed, and a rapid knock sounded.

On weekdays, people come to the mansion very respectfully, and even some local officials respect each other as much as guests. Who dares to be so disrespectful?

After being a servant in such a mansion for a long time, his spirit and vision will inevitably increase.

It was late at night, and the door servant was disturbed by Qingmeng. He rubbed his eyes and came to open the door. His tone was very dissatisfied, "Who, don't you know where this place is?"

As soon as I opened the door, I was stupid.

The one who came to knock on the door was not someone else, but the generals of the Jiangnan camp wearing armor. Behind him, the soldiers almost stood the entire street.

They all wore torches and shone the night like the day.

The door servant had a fire reflected on his face, and he even stuttered, "You, what are you going to do? The master is sleeping... I will come again tomorrow..."

The general laughed and pushed him away very unreasonably. As he spoke just as he was just now, he entered the door and said:

"Don't wake him up. I'll investigate the wealthy family in Zhaoqing, Wu Guoyi, who embezzled the Jieshi Guards. The evidence is conclusive. The court has a clear order. My Jiangnan camp is ordered to confiscate the house!"

"Search the house!" The servant of the door stood there in a daze, unable to say anything anymore, "Is the Jiangnan Camp the one in Jinling?"

"It was the Jiangnan Camp that I personally set up today!" Mr. Qian, who came in the door, smiled coldly and walked past him, bringing a strong wind.

More footsteps sounded, and the soldiers entered one after another. The movement quickly alarmed the entire Wu Mansion.

The Wu Mansion occupied no less than the palace of a county prince. The lights were lit from the houses where the servants lived in the outer area to the inner palace, and Wu Mingyi suddenly sat up.

Beside him, Mrs. Li was also full of fear.

Wu Guoyi looked at the butler who was kneeling in front of him and cried in disbelief and said unbelievably: "The Jiangnan Camp has come to search the house? Why have you never received any news before?"

The housekeeper cried, "Master, don't you understand? If the court has no order, the government will not receive news, so naturally they will not tell us."

"Wang Degong said that the evidence was conclusive, but he did not show it. Jiangnan Camp wanted to take action first and then report! Master, go quickly!"

Wu Guoyi quickly rolled up and was about to wear clothes and slipped away from the back door, but he didn't expect that there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and a general kicked the door open with a "clang" with a sneer on his face:

"I'm leaving now, Is it too much?"

"Take it!"

With an order, several personal soldiers stepped forward. The housekeeper was so scared that he dared not move. His wife Li shrank into the bed, wrapped in bedding, and kept shouting.

Wu Guoyi was taken away, but he still felt dissatisfied.

He kept struggling, but the hands of the soldiers on both sides were like pliers, pinching him tightly. The more he struggled, the more he felt pain.

After a while, he became a little desperate and shouted loudly: "If you have any evidence, let's talk about it, what crime did I commit!"

The general sneered and said:

"There is certainly evidence, but it is useless to show it to you. The three families of Tian, ​​Zhao and Wu will harm the country and the people, embezzle military camps, and the new court policy. The first person you want to kill is to kill!"

Then, his eyes changed and his sword eyebrows flew: "Wu Guoyi resisted arrest, attacked the officers and soldiers, and killed me on the spot. Everyone in the Wu family will kill them together!"

Wu Guoyi was stunned, and then he understood.

I have never attacked the officers and soldiers. Most of the people in the Wu family have just woken up, and no one will go against the Jiangnan camp without opening their eyes.

The other party took the chicken feathers as an arrow, with the purpose of not raiding the house or clearing the power of local garrisons. If you want to kill people, you can just say anything.

If the knife is held in the other person's hand, what can I do if I have money?

"If you want to add a crime, you have no choice!" He became a little crazy, and then laughed a few times, "Don't bother the general to take action, I'll do it myself!"

After saying a word, Wu Guoyi ran into a sergeant beside him.

The sergeant was reflexive and raised his hand and slashed his blood on his face. He also took a few steps back, his face full of shock.

The general sneered, looked at Li, a woman who was lying on the bed, and turned around and said, "The Wu family attacked the officers and soldiers, searched the house according to the rules, and wiped out the family!"

......

The Zhaoqing Mutiny not only shocked Guangdong and Guangxi, but also affected the capital.

The rebels were actually mutiny because they did not pay the money. Zhao Bingzhong, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, panicked, but the reason for his panick was not that the officers and soldiers mutiny, but that Zhu Youxiao took action to kill Zhou Jiamo, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

There is no reason for Zhu Youxiao to take action this time, and he was a name to kill people. This is true, whether it is Zhou Jiamo, the Minister of Personnel, or He Shijin, the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

The government cannot be put on the surface, and the results they found cannot be used as evidence, but Zhu Youxiao knew about it.

In the past, Zhu Youzhai Association waited until there was sufficient evidence before taking action, but this time it did not. On the day when he received the exact news from the Ministry of Justice, the imperial edict went down.

There is no need to investigate the case, nor does it need to take into account the influence of the court. This shows that this incident has touched Zhu Youxiao's bottom line.

The Minister of Personnel was called the Heavenly Official, and the authority among the six ministries was second only to the Ministry of War. This is said that it would be chopped up, let alone the Minister of Revenue.

Zhao Bingzhong is not without silver. Now the financial affairs of the Tianqi Dynasty are no longer eight years ago. It is said that recently, the Ministry of Revenue received a tax of 200,000 taels of salt from Lianghuai Salt Field in early August.

After the reform of Shaanxi, a large number of new official troops were recruited, and many former garrison troops were abolished, and more than 2 million taels of silver were paid. The military battle situation often came to urge silver because it was necessary to prepare a large amount of heart-made clothes and armor.

Shaanxi's military pay was a big gap, but it was not at a critical moment. Zhao Bingzhong weighed the pros and consequently misappropriated the new pay for special distribution of Jiangnan and temporarily distributed it to Shaanxi, blocking the hole.

On August 20, the Ministry of Revenue issued a new tariff of 400,000 taels.

Two hundred thousand taels were sent to the emperor's treasury. On the 23rd day, the Ministry of Revenue made a free move and paid 90,000 taels of silver to the provinces in Jiangnan to comfort them.

Unfortunately, it was useless. Before the money was released from Jifu, a mutiny occurred in Zhaoqing on the 25th.

After learning the news of the mutiny, the civil and military officials in the court were talking a lot. The emperor took action and killed the heavenly officials of the Ministry of Personnel. Zhao Bingzhong was also panicked and issued another 240,000 taels of special silver to Guangdong and Guangxi.

However, this is already a hindsight and cannot save what has happened in Guangdong and Guangxi. Zhao Bingzhong's fate has also been carried to the forefront.

To be honest, Zhao Bingzhong's handling was not a big problem. He embezzled the new salary from Jiangnan to block the gap in Shaanxi's salary replenishment, but no one expected that Zhaoqing would have a mutiny, and the reason for the change of war was to ask for salary.

Cabinet, Forbidden City Signature Room.

"Zhao Bingzhong, you have moved the new Jiangnan salary without authorization, causing a mutiny in Zhaoqing Prefecture. What crime should you be punished?" Li Banghua, the left censor of the Censorate, shouted.

Zhao Bingzhong was also unable to say anything, but after all, it was still wrong to move the money, so he had to say:

"Shaanxi's salary is 2.6 million taels, and the Ministry of Revenue has not deposited enough money. If the gap is not made up for elsewhere, where can the money be obtained to provide Shaanxi with money?"
