Starting with Yin Jishan's incident, a vigorous movement began. The Ming Dynasty had an appropriate name for this kind of official activity - Jingcha!

The previous Beijing Investigation was a performance assessment of Beijing officials. But this time it was very different. This time the Beijing Investigation specifically investigated official corruption.

This is the beginning of the days when officials are unhappy!

It was impossible not to say something when he fell into Luzhu's hands. Yin Jishan, who had already suffered a mental breakdown, told everything about what he had done over the years.

Because he has been an official for so long, he no longer remembers some things and needs Luzhu to remind him before he can remember them.

However, this kind of thinking process is very difficult. Yin Jishan is in a room with only one square meter. He cannot stand up or sit down. He cannot straighten his legs or straighten his arms.

As long as Yin Jishan is locked in this...cage, he will quickly remember the past. The speed is outrageous!

The rest of the matter is simple. Arrest the person according to Yin Jishan's confession. Once caught, the trial will continue.

It’s just a cage of about one square meter, so it’s not difficult to make several more.

Li Xiao finally understood Sun Yuanhua's worries. If he continued like this, the witchcraft disaster during the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty might happen again!

I'm afraid there are not many officials left in the imperial court.

Except for an idol like Hai Rui, who can have no gray income? Now, everything has been exposed.

In the days when people were in panic, Sun Yuanhua's family was full of people. The concierge of Sun Yuanhua's family had a cramp in his hand when collecting money.

This concierge who came from Xinjiapo had not seen much of the fifth-rank officials before. Now, he is met in droves by third- and fourth-rank officials. His attitude is that one is enthusiastic and the other is approachable.

In addition to those who can avoid taboos, Sun Yuanhua also accepts everyone who comes. It is a good time to build up character. If you don't invite people to buy people's hearts at this time, when will you invite people to buy people's hearts?

Soon, officials in the capital seemed to have taken reassurance pills.

Because they discovered that although the people who were beaten in this sport, which was called tiger hunting among the people, were all high-ranking people, they all had one thing in common, that is... they were Zhang Huangyan's die-hard loyalists.

Not only were these people promoted by Zhang Huangyan, but all of them were protected by Zhang Huangyan. They were all the kind of people who were willing to do anything for the Zhang family.

The power of the Zhang family in the imperial court has been dealt a devastating blow. Anyway, if you have shit on your butt, the people from the Supervision Department will catch it with certainty.

But in other words, who doesn’t have shit on their butt?

Zhang Huangyan squatted at home, and this time he finally knew what the new chief assistant from Singapore wanted to do.

Seeing that the power he had maintained for many years collapsed, Zhang Huangyan just laughed miserably: "The tree fell and the hozens dispersed! Let everyone find their own lives!"

This is an extremely pessimistic statement, which means that the Zhang family may permanently withdraw from the political stage of the Ming Dynasty.

"Dad! You can't do this. Go talk to the commander. The Zhang family can't end like this!" Zhang Wanqi took Zhang Huangyan's hand, knelt on the ground and begged.

He knew that it wouldn't be long before it was his turn if things continued like this.

Having been a second-generation official for such a long time, Zhang Wanqi is naturally the first to bear the brunt of having a dirty butt. Maybe right now, people from the Supervisory Yuan will be on their way to arrest him.

"Silly boy! Don't you understand now? All this was done with the tacit consent of the commander-in-chief. Otherwise, do you think he, Sun Yuanhua, would dare to do such a blatant thing?

Child! If something happens to you, dad can't protect you now. I told you in the early years that no matter what a person does in this life, there will be a price.

Your father has enjoyed the rights of one person over thousands of people, and now the rights are beginning to bite back.

Now, I will personally send you to the Supervisory Yuan to surrender." Zhang Huangyan said sadly. Perhaps retreating is a good way to advance.

At least, this politically immature son can be saved.

Now, Zhang Huangyan regrets why he wanted his son to be an official. His political talent is not suitable for being an official at all.

"Dad...! Dad...! No, dad, I don't want to go to the Supervisory Yuan. I heard about their torture, even an iron man would have to confess." Zhang Wanqi knelt on the ground in shock, he never expected it.

He came to beg his father, but he was sent to the Overwatch Council prison.

The prison of the Supervisory Yuan is actually the imperial prison of the former Jinyiwei. It is not a good place to enter.

"Son! This is the only way to save you. It will straighten my waist for my father. Don't let you see that you are a coward!"

Dad, I will stay by your side. It’s your father’s fault. If they want to torture you, then do it to your father and me first!"

Zhang Huangyan smiled bitterly and patted Zhang Wanqi on the shoulder!

"Dad! Dad!" Zhang Wanqi wanted to cry but had no tears.

I really want to straighten my back, but...the thought of going to the Control Council still makes my calves cramp.

The door of the Zhang family's house was opened wide, and Zhang Huangyan was supported by someone and walked out of the house with his head shaking and his hands trembling.

"Look! The Chief Assistant is here."

"I stopped being the chief assistant half a month ago, and you are still called the chief assistant."

"Didn't you hear that Mr. Shouxian had a stroke? It looks like he really had a stroke!"

"Where is this old man going?"

"Hey! I heard that he wants to send his son Zhang Wanqi to surrender to the Supervision Department."

"The tiger hit him on the head. It was really powerful. It seems that the court is serious this time."

"Recently, the Control Yuan has been arresting people. They have been arrested one after another. Many officials were shackled and taken away by people from the Control Yuan while they were still hearing cases in the lobby."

"Haha! Let them harm the people. This is retribution!"

"Retribution! Even if you hit the tiger, you won't be relieved of your hatred. If you kill the flies on the tiger, you will be relieved of your hatred."

"Soon! Soon! Sooner or later."

"Master Chief Assistant has left, let's follow him and take a look."

"Yes! Follow us and have a look."

Along the way, countless people were watching the Zhang family. Especially the way Zhang Huangyan was waving his hands and shaking his hands made many people feel a little sad.

The Zhang family followed behind with tears in their eyes, as if they were attending a funeral!

The Zhang family is not too far from the Supervision Department, and under the scorching sun, Zhang Huangyan walked for almost an hour before reaching the entrance of the Supervision Department.

At this time, the entrance of the Supervision Department was already crowded with people. Even on the nearby roofs, tree tops and walls, there were people standing at any high place.

One by one, they stretched their necks, waiting to see the chief minister send his son to surrender.

Xiao Zhan, the Minister of Supervision, had been waiting at the door early, with sweat on his forehead. But with so many people watching, he did not dare to go back to the concierge and wait, so he could only wear heavy official uniforms and work under the bright sun.

.

Today's matter has become serious, and his career will be affected if he is not careful. Although the Zhang family has already been beaten by thousands of people, they are beaten secretly in private. They are still beaten in public and under the gaze of thousands of eyes. This is

There is an essential difference.

Unfortunately, you can't go forward to pick up this kind of thing. If halfway through, someone says they just want to come out to exercise, what should you do?

After waiting for a long time, I finally saw Zhang Huangyan walking to the door tremblingly.

"Xiao Shangshu! Quanzi did not know what was going on and did something wrong that violated the law of the country. Today I personally took him to surrender. I also ask Xiao Shangshu to take Quanzi into prison."

In front of thousands of onlookers, Zhang Huangyan bowed to Xiao Zhan.

"Sir, how could you do this?" Zhang Huang said and saluted, but Xiao Zhan hurriedly hid aside, not daring to accept it.

"That's it! That's it! I don't have any errands now, I'm just a civilian. There's nothing I can't do!"

"Sir, the weather is hot. Please come in and serve tea to relieve the heat!" Xiao Zhan saw Zhang Huangyan's appearance and was afraid that the old gentleman would lie down at his door.

Then I can’t explain clearly even though my body is full of words!

"No hurry! No rush!" Zhang Huangyan waved his hand with difficulty as he wavered.

"Sir, someone is indeed biting your son. But these are all rumors and rumors, and no evidence has been found yet. You can take your son home, and after we find out the truth, Xiao will definitely explain it to you in person!"

Xiao Zhan is frightened now. He was also promoted by Zhang Huangyan. If Zhang Huangyan died here, he would be doomed.

Just one ungrateful name can ruin Xiao Zhan's future.

"No solid evidence? Oh, then let him stay here, waiting for the investigation by the Supervision Department. After the results are obtained, then... let him go home.

I...I will wait here with him!" Zhang Huangyan said vaguely.

Xiao Zhan felt a little confused. He had never heard of someone trying to get into the prison.

If it's someone else, that's fine. This is Zhang Huangyan, the former chief minister. This matter..., with so many people watching, the pressure from public opinion is really too great.

"Sir, it's really no need. Xiao can guarantee that the son's matter is nothing serious. You...you should go back to raise troops. After these few days of busy work, Xiao Zhan will personally go to your house to pay your respects."

Xiao Zhan was really about to cry!

I was a little dizzy from being exposed to the sun, but Zhang Huangyan had just recovered from a serious illness.

The more he was afraid of, the more likely he would come. Just when Xiao Zhan was begging Zhang Huangyan to go back, Zhang Huangyan suddenly tilted his body and lay in Zhang Wanqi's arms.

"Dad...!Dad...!" Zhang Wanqi howled like a lone wolf.

"Master Xiao, if Zhang violates the national law, please put Zhang in prison." Seeing his father like this, Zhang Wanqi became hardened.

"Mr. Zhang, what's going on...! Please get up first, please get up! Please get up!

Come on, prepare the carriage quickly. Send Mr. Lao back to the house. You are all blind. Didn’t you see that Mr. Lao has suffered from heat stroke? "

Seeing Zhang Huangyan fainted, Xiao Zhan almost fainted too. He hurriedly asked someone to prepare the carriage. Where could he have time to take care of Zhang Wanqi now?

Watching his men carry Zhang Huangyan into the carriage, he directly stuffed Zhang Wanqi into the carriage and rushed towards the Zhang Mansion.
