100. The Ministry of Works with Many Rats (middle)

Jing Wen took the financial statement and said, "Who is Zhang Qiang, the doctor of the Ministry of Works?"

"I am? I am the doctor in charge of city engineering construction under the Ministry of Works. Zhang Qiang. What's wrong with you? Jing Wen, you, a small eighth rank official, have to think clearly, and slander Shangguan, you have to lose money. I am a dignified official of the fifth rank, much higher than you, you have to think clearly." Zhang Qiang said.

Jing Wen immediately pretended to be surprised and asked: "What did I say? I just asked the name. Why are some people so nervous? Is there a ghost in my heart that I ask so randomly?"

"I, I..." Zhang Qiang was a little nervous and couldn't speak.

"Who is Shi Yaoqian, a member of the Water Department under the Ministry of Works? Your name is good, it suits your identity!" Jing Wen asked.

"What are you talking nonsense? I, Shi Yaoqian, have always been an honest official. When have I ever been corrupt? My name was given by my parents, not something I can decide. What do you mean? Do you want to slander Shangguan?" Shi Yaoqian also said angrily.

Jing Wen looked at the report and finally said, "The last one, do you want me to pronounce my name?"

When the Yu Ministry's official Liu Zhifang saw this, he immediately shouted: "My sir, I cannot let this guy slander the people of our Ministry of Works here. Please join me and beat me to death, a slander who slandered his colleagues. This is to clean up the court for my Tang Dynasty and to rectify the style of my Tang Dynasty!"

Liu Zhifang picked up a flowerpot and was about to smash it into Jing Wen's head, but Jing Wen asked, "Do you want to kill someone to silence me?"

"Nonsense, I am cleaning up the treacherous and slander for the court! I believe the emperor will understand me. I am honest and devote myself to the Red City and the country!" Liu Zhifang said angrily.

"Jing Wen, go to death!" Liu Zhifang shouted with a high flower pot.

Jing Wen sneered, but there was no sign of panic.

"Put down the flower pot!" A voice filled with anger came.

"Bang!" The flower pot fell to the ground and broke all over the floor.

Liu Zhifang looked back at the man, and immediately his legs became weak and said, "I have seen the emperor!"

The person who came was Li Shimin, but when Li Shimin saw this "good show", he obviously felt a little complicated.

"Okay! I didn't expect that I actually saw a good show!" Li Shimin said coldly.

Liu Zhifang immediately knelt down and cried, "Your Majesty, it's this Jing Wen who slanders me! Your Majesty, I was just trying to eliminate treacherous ministers for the emperor. Your Majesty, my heart is for my Tang Dynasty! This Jing Wen is a slander in my Tang Dynasty. Please don't believe his words."

Li Shimin had already seen it, and Liu Zhifang was probably shit on his butt! Jing Wen didn't say anything, but this guy wanted to beat and kill and lost his calmness. This scene happened to be seen by Li Shimin who happened to be here, so Li Shimin didn't understand what happened? Originally, Li Shimin didn't believe it, but in his palace, the Shangshu Province, the Ministry of Works under the Shangshu Province, found three "heavy rats" on the first day. This made Li Shimin both sad and scared. The Ministry of Works found three on the first day, and the six departments, nine temples and five supervisors of the court, and so many yamen. How many big rats are there? This is still the central government, and how many big rats are there in the local area? It's hard to say.

Li Shimin ignored this guy and just turned around and asked Jing Wen: "How is the account check? How much money is there?"

Jing Wen said loudly: "Your Majesty, there is nothing in fact, but the three of them handled have some of the accounts that they don't understand. The accounts and the accounts are somewhat inconsistent, but maybe they can explain them clearly! So, I hope to give them a chance to explain."

"Tell me! Is there anything to explain?" Li Shimin looked at Liu Zhifang and asked.

"Your Majesty, this is Jing Wen, the treacherous slandering me!" Liu Zhifang continued to cry.

"Bang!" Li Shimin kicked him over.

Li Shimin didn't believe this guy's nonsense, because Jing Wen had no grudges with him, so why did he frame him? Moreover, Jing Wen is currently Li Shimin's confidant, and Li Shimin is more willing to believe in Jing Wen. Liu Zhifang has the power to build mountains and rivers in the world. He has a lot of wealth in his hands. Now even Li Shimin is worried whether he will be moved.

"You two, do you have anything to explain?" Li Shimin asked the other two.

Zhang Qiang immediately knelt down and cried, "Your Majesty, spare your life! I was just a little bitched. Please remember our original credit and spare us this time!"

"Your Majesty, please spare me!" Shi Yaoqian also begged.

"Come, send them to Dali Temple. How they embezzled public funds from the court will be examined clearly. Such a big rat is not enough to calm the anger of the public! I want to warn corrupt officials all over the world that this road is a dead end!" Li Shimin said.

Li Shimin said this, that was to give them a verdict. These three guys are probably sure to die. Dali Temple will definitely not die, and there will be some crimes added. Dali Temple is responsible for the trial of cases and is very clear about this kind of trick. Next, it will be handed over to Dali Temple to handle it. Dali Temple is the Supreme Court of the country, and there are probably few people who can survive after entering Dali Temple. What's more, according to the anti-corruption laws of the Tang Dynasty, corruption of twenty cents of money will be lost, which means less than ten thousand in the future. Therefore, these corrupt officials may have to lose their heads, whether it is the law or Li Shimin's anger.

"Your Majesty, do you still need to check the accounts? Keep checking..." Jing Wen asked.

Jingwen’s meaning is very obvious, that is, if you continue to investigate, you may pull out the radish and bring out the mud. There are probably many! This is the case in the officialdom, involving each other, one involving the other. If you continue to investigate like this, you may find a large number of them!

"Investigate! You must continue to investigate. This kind of corruption cannot be tolerated and traitorous! I send Qianniu Guards to protect you. Whoever dares to use a knife and a gun on you, let Qianniu Guards kill them on the spot! You work overtime for me, and I want to see how many such rats are in my court!" Li Shimin said angrily.

"I accept the order!" Jing Wen replied.
