When he heard about the old accounts, Zhou Kui couldn't help but feel a little slap in his heart. What kind of thing is Zhou Kui, a famous corruption person.

Since Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, Zhou Kui, the father-in-law, has been floating around. He feels that he is like a crab, a person who can walk sideways on the street.

If one person is truly a man who has attained enlightenment, his daughter is the current queen. As the father-in-law, Zhou Kui was originally just an ordinary citizen of poor background.

Once a person has power, his mentality will change greatly. Those corrupt officials who like him come over like flies and smell spicy chickens.

He accepted bribes in a big way, bought and sold officials. This almost became Zhou Kui's way to get rich.

Importantly, Zhou Kui was greedy for a total of three million taels at that time. This was still the most difficult period of the Ming Dynasty. The income of the treasury was only more than four million taels a year.

Didn’t that corrupt Duke Zhu Chunchen end up with a tragic ending of killing all over the country because he made millions of taels of silver?

Zhou Kui's methods of making money were even better than Zhu Chunchen, Duke Chengguo. However, Zhou Kui was forced to donate two million taels of silver later.

"Long live the sage, the old minister donated more than 2 million taels of silver. You know this, long live." The muscles on Zhou Kui's face couldn't help but jump.

Whenever he thought of the white money of more than 2 million taels of silver, Zhou Kui always felt uncomfortable as if he had been stabbed. Zhu Cilang re-reported the old story, Zhou Kui felt wronged.

Zhou Cixuan also sighed: "I know, I know, grandpa, you are wronged. You have made so much money, but logically, donated it all to the court, and didn't you keep it?"

Zhou Kui burst into tears: "Yes, long live, long live, let's be clear. How long has this been happening? Why are you still holding on to this matter?"

Zhu Cilang gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph, it's all because of Luo Yangxing!"

Luo Yangxing, isn’t that the commander of the Jinyiwei? But at this time, the Jinyiwei has long lost its former prestige. The Jinyiwei no longer participates in the emperor’s private organization, and can surpass the law and serve as a weapon for the emperor to punish his ministers.

At this time, the Jinyiwei had already been restructured and changed to an intelligence organization that was only responsible for collecting intelligence.

For example, the Manchus in the Northeast, the Mongolians on the grasslands, and those foreign nations, there are organizations that endanger the security of the imperial court, monitor military war situations, prevent firearm technology from leaking, and collect information from various places.

Of course, the Jinyiwei still has the responsibility to search corrupt officials. However, it is limited to collecting information from corrupt officials and has no law enforcement power.

In other words, the imperial prison was already dead in name only. The Jinyiwei had no power and then went to interrogate officials. They were only responsible for collecting evidence of officials' embezzlement and then reporting it to the Three Fa Departments. In the end, the Three Fa Departments will be tried in accordance with the Ming Dynasty.

Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, was also transferred to the Hanlin Academy and served as a free position. In fact, he had no real power when he was promoted openly and secretly.

At this time, the Jinyiwei was led by the fierce general Kong Xiangxin under Zhu Cixuan. Given that Kong Xiangxin was brave in the war and outstanding in wisdom, he also made considerable contributions to the battle of Panjin Grain.

In terms of merit and reward, Kong Xiangxin was no longer in the army at this time. Instead, he took on the important task of commanding the Jinyiwei.

In fact, Zhou Kui has been away from the government for a long time, and he also knew that Luo Yangxing had no real power at this time. However, seeing Zhu Cilang gritting his teeth with hatred for Luo Yangxing, he couldn't help but ask: "Long live, what trouble did Luo Yangxing cause?"

Zhu Cilang snorted and said coldly: "What a disaster, you have to ask him about it. Do you still remember this dog, I collected evidence of your embezzlement from grandpa?"

Zhou Kui's cold sweat came out: "No, it's not that the old minister's money donated to the court? Moreover, Luo Yangxing burned all the accounts."

At the beginning, Zhu Cixuan asked Zhou Kui to borrow money and lied that the Jinyiwei had collected evidence of Zhou Kui's embezzlement of 3 million taels, which scared Zhou Kui so much that he lost his soul.

At this point, Zhou Kui was forced to donate one million taels of silver first.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Cilang said hatefully: "Who thought that this dog was so obscene that he did not burn down the account book you embezzled, grandpa, but secretly hid it. I think it was because he would use this to threaten you in the future."

Zhou Kui couldn't help but shivered: "What a poisonous plan, Luo Yangxing can't tell that he is such a despicable person."

Zhu Cilang nodded: "It's not just despicable, it's simply shameless. Luo Yangxing deserves to be unlucky. Last month, Luo Yangxing's family was thieves."

Zhou Kui's heart skipped a little: "What about after being thieves?"

"The thief went to Luo Yangxing's house to search for it, and he stole hundreds of taels of silver. He also let go of the account book you embezzled back then."

"Ah?" Zhou Kui's face changed drastically in an instant: "This, this, what's going on."

"What's going on? This thief stole your account book and found a treasure. He wanted to threaten Luo Yangxing with the account book. Who knew that this account book was not Luo Yangxing at all, but your grandfather, so Luo Yangxing naturally didn't buy it. He set up an ambush and caught the thief. Unlucky, the account book was made public to the world. Now the court impeached grandfather, your memorial is full of the house."

Zhou Kui shook his body and felt the sky spinning. Then, with a thud, he fell to the ground.

Zhu Cilang hurriedly helped him up: "Grandpa, are you okay?"

Zhou Kui looked desperate: "Long live, for your mother's sake, save the old minister. This account book tells the world that people in the world will scold the old minister to death. Cheng Guogong's head is still hanging at the gate of the city. The old minister doesn't want to follow in the footsteps, wuwu."

Zhou Kui was really scared. He didn't think he had died a hundred times when he bought and sold official positions. If this was made public, everyone in the world would know about it.

That was the 3 million taels of silver that were rich enough to rival the country. At that time, the 3 million taels in the early years of Chongzhen were almost an astronomical figure. Zhu Cixuan used only a few hundred thousand taels to appease the Liaodong soldiers and defeated Huang Taiji at the time.

Three million taels, what is that concept? It is enough to turn the world around.

The evidence of Zhou Kui's corruption and abuse of power was told that the world was exposed, and then the people in the world would attack him. The public anger that aroused would have to be killed.

Even if Zhu Cilang is the lord of the nine fives, he cannot stop the anger of the people in the world. Even the emperor cannot save Zhou Kui.

Zhu Cilang looked sympathetic: "It's good that's fine, this matter is not completely impossible to reverse. But I'm afraid I'll be wronged."
