Chapter 222 Powerless?
Chapter 222
When Zhang Hao heard that he was going to the Censorate again, he was a little depressed.
Jiajing is now counting on Zhang Hao to go to the Censorate to see the information of those officials and see which officials can use it.
In the afternoon, Zhang Hao had no choice but to go, but Hu Zongxian and Zhang Juzheng read the information for Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao saw a good official and registered it.
Today, I am already reciting the files of the sixth-grade official. As long as I finish reciting the files of the seventh-grade official, I will be done. As for the eighth-grade and ninth-grade, there is nothing to read.
And on Xu Jie and the others, Xu Jie and the other three were still sitting in the cabinet office.
Now they are all worried that the Ministry of Justice still cannot find out the investigation.
Now the families of those officials have been arrested, but the money is gone. No one knows where the money is. Only when the money is found can one be convicted. If there is no money, they cannot be corrupt and cannot be treated as anything.
Now that I have been locked up here for so long, some people have been impeaching the cabinet and impeaching the Ministry of Justice to handle unjust cases.
The Ministry of Justice also felt wronged. This case was sent by the cabinet, and they had no choice.
"What if we cannot review it in a few days? Then the three of us will be in trouble. Now the emperor is dissatisfied with us, and the ministers below are also dissatisfied with us. We are now caught in the middle and are angry!" Lu Ben sat there and sighed.
"After the Lantern Festival, if it has not been found out yet, I think we should ask Zhang Hao for help. Let's talk to him and find out the case. If it cannot be found out, one of the three of us will definitely be unlucky!" Yan Song sat there, looking at the two of them and said.
"I think it's OK. The emperor needs to give the ministers an explanation. This case is also dominated by us, and we must take responsibility!" Xu Jie nodded and said.
"Then I'll talk to Zhang Hao at that time! Let him investigate the case. I guess he will definitely speak loudly. It's okay, I promise him that the money found will be given to the emperor anyway!" Yan Song said with a sigh.
Now that Jiajing is in court, their power has been greatly weakened for them, but there is no way. You can't stop Jiajing from attending court, right?
Then he will really become a treacherous minister, and everyone will shout and beat him up at that time.
In a flash, the Lantern Festival is coming, and the capital is very lively.
The people came out of their homes to visit lantern festivals and temple fairs.
Zhang Hao and Xu Shiyun also went out, took a few maids and a few personal guards, and bought them when they saw what they like.
They returned home until they had played very late.
Early the next morning, Zhang Hao continued to go to the Danfang and said hello to the Danfang. Zhang Hao went to the workshop.
Now the first batch of soap has been produced and is being sold to the public.
Zhang Hao didn't know how the sales were, so he had to check it out.
The sales are different now than before. Now a special sales point has been established. The payment is settled every three days, and they are all packed in boxes. How many boxes are sold to settle the accounts.
Now all the sales points are replaced by women to sell. Zhang Hao has enabled women to do things, and some ministers have already begun to write impeachment memorials, saying that Zhang Hao is ignorant of ethics and asks women to work.
But Zhang Hao ignored them, and Jiajing ignored them. Those impeachment memorials were kept there and not dealt with.
After Zhang Hao arrived at the Dan Room, some women saw Zhang Hao coming and saluted immediately: "Have you seen Lu Anhou!"
"Hey, sisters-in-law, you have worked hard, how are you selling?" Zhang Hao went over and asked with a smile.
These people are the families of soldiers of the Jinyi Guard, most of them are their wives.
"I sold 30 boxes today! Many people don't understand yet. We demonstrated it here to them. They felt it was pretty good, so they bought it!" A woman stood there and said to Zhang Hao.
"Oh, okay, it's okay. This thing is of great use. Don't worry. When you see the merchants coming, you will show them a demonstration!" Zhang Hao said to them with a smile when he heard this.
"Thank you, Marquis!" the women immediately bowed and said.
Zhang Hao said a few words and left. It’s all women here. It’s better not to stay with them for too long, avoid suspicion!
Zhang Hao then went to the workshop to check the production.
Now more than half of the women work there, and of course there are men, all of whom are family members of the Jinyiwei of the Inner Palace.
They are very attentive in doing things here. Zhang Hao’s salary is very high and he is not tired. He has more money in his tiring position.
When the families saw Zhang Hao coming, they saluted one after another, and Zhang Hao nodded.
This workshop has become the workshop of Jinyiwei, which is considered a benefit for them.
After Zhang Hao came out of the workshop, he went directly to the Danfang.
At this moment, in the Danfang, Yan Song, Lu Ben, and Xu Jie were still sitting here, discussing the matter of asking Zhang Hao to investigate the case.
"Now let Zhang Hao investigate the case?" Jiajing frowned when he heard this.
"Your Majesty, I really have no choice. No matter how I interrogate them, they just said there was no!" Lu Ben said sighing.
Jiajing was on fire.
"Your Majesty, let Zhang Hao investigate the case. What conditions do he have? Even if he can agree, we will agree!" Yan Song sat there and bowed his hand and said.
Jiajing stared at them, but they didn't dare to look at Jiajing.
After a while, Jiajing said, "Before, Zhang Hao wanted to investigate, you don't let him go, you secretly protect the officials. Do you think I don't know? I can pretend not to know, but you found out!" When the three of them heard this, they immediately knelt down and said to forgive me.
"Now, so long has passed, and they all know that you have no evidence now. How do you ask Zhang Hao to investigate the case? Now Zhang Hao has to take charge of the workshop, come to my side to serve, and manage Shuntian Mansion. I have other things to tell him. Where are you?
Now let him investigate the case? If he was asked to investigate at the beginning, there would be so many things? Wouldn't you be worried that Zhang Hao would cause trouble for you then? Now you will push the trouble to him? This is how you do things?" Jiajing stared at them and said fiercely.
"The emperor forgives the crime, but I dare not. I am helpless now. They are so stubborn. Moreover, the ministers outside impeached me and wronged them. In fact, everyone knows what the situation is. I also know that they are outside and someone helps them cover them. But... The emperor, I am still a little less capable in this regard!" Xu Jie knelt there at this moment and said to Jiajing.
There is no way, now you have to admit that you are not capable.
"Hmph, your ability is worse than a barbarian!" Jiajing sat there and said with a sneer.
When Xu Jie and the others heard this, they smiled bitterly.
He is the marquis. He wants to kill a few people, but nothing happened. The ministers in the court impeached him without any concern, and he doesn't care.
But people like me will be investigated by the Censorate. What if something is found out?
Zhang Hao has nothing to do with the money in the court, at most it is corruption. But does the British family still need corruption? Will the richest and most powerful families in the Ming Dynasty still be greedy for money?
"Emperor!" At this moment, Zhang Hao came in.
When he saw the three of them kneeling here, he immediately asked in surprise: "What are you doing again? What are you doing this serious thing every day?"
The three of them knelt there and felt depressed, while Zhang Hao continued to walk towards his position.
"Zhang Hao, come here!" Jiajing shouted to Zhang Hao.
When Zhang Hao heard this, he walked over and said, "What's wrong, Your Majesty?"
"They said that asking you to investigate those corrupt officials was the disaster relief last year!" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao.
"Ah?" Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing in a daze when he heard this.
"Can you do it?" Jiajing asked when he saw Zhang Hao not speaking.
"Okay, my master, wait, I'll burn the house!" Zhang Hao said and walked outside.
"Hey, stop him!" Jiajing was startled when he heard this, and immediately asked the eunuchs outside to stop Zhang Hao.
"Your Majesty, I promised it at the beginning. Don't worry, I ordered it to burn it for them and I will go to investigate the case. Why do you want them to do? I said it well at the beginning!" Zhang Hao turned around and said to Jiajing.
"Hey!" Jiajing couldn't help but touched his head.
Why is this kid so impulsive? Then he waved to Zhang Hao and said, "Come here!"
"Your Majesty, if I don't go, why am I going to go over? You just say whether it can be done or not. I will go to your mansion to set fire, and then I will investigate the case!" Zhang Hao stood there and shouted at Lu Ben and the others.
How dare Lu Ben and the others speak?
"Are you mute?" Zhang Hao stared at the three of them and shouted again.
"You really need to make it clear about this matter. Half of the first lunar month has passed. You haven't found it out. Now you still ask Zhang Hao to investigate it. It's impossible to say it!" Jiajing was also standing on Zhang Hao's side this time.
The three of them are so bullying!
"Please forgive me for your crime. We really have no choice! The ministers from the Ministry of Justice have no choice now. We have sent people to find them. We can't find where they hid their money!" Yan Song knelt there and said.
"I can't find it, I have to find the money if I dig three feet into the ground!" Zhang Hao shouted at them.
"Yes, now we want to ask you to investigate the case and burn the house, just... just forget it, you talk about other conditions, is it good?" Lu Ben said as he looked at Zhang Hao, and pushed Xu Jie.
The meaning is very obvious. He is your son-in-law now, and your daughter has also been named the Marquis's wife. As a father-in-law, you have to say a few words at this time.
"Zhang Hao, we can only ask you for help in this matter now. I'm really helpless!" Xu Jie said immediately.
