Capital.

Ministry of War.

This day.

As soon as the Secretary of State Zhang Heming arrived at the Ministry of War, he heard footsteps coming from outside, as if the drums were playing.

Zhang Heming felt nervous. When he looked back, he saw a large group of Dongchang soldiers coming with swords and surrounded the Ministry of War.

"What are you doing?"

Zhang Heming asked.

Yang Huan, the leader, saw that Zhang Heming was wearing a scarlet official robe and the tofuzi was in a second-rank official uniform, so he guessed Zhang Heming's identity: "You are Zhang Heming, the Minister of War."

As he said that, Yang Huan waved his hand and ordered: "Take it down!"

"You guys are bold!"

Zhang Heming shouted with a stern look on his face, looking around with a little uneasy look.

At this time, the guards beside Zhang Heming also drew their swords and surrounded Zhang Heming with fear.

Seeing this, Yang Huan directly took out an imperial edict: "We are handling the case under the order! Do you guards dare to disturb the court's official affairs?"

As he said that, Yang Huan shouted loudly, "Do you want to rebel?"

"Get out of here!"

Yang Huan scolded again.

The guards looked back at Zhang Heming, and then obediently flashed to the side.

After all, they were also people who ate the court's food and salary, so how dare they rebel for Zhang Heming?

Zhang Heming looked at the scene coldly and said, "I want to see Your Majesty!"

At this time, the foreign soldiers of the Liangdong Factory had taken Zhang Heming from the sedan chair under Yang Huan's order.

Zhang Heming still just shouted: "I want to see Your Majesty! I want to see Your Majesty!"

Yang Huan ignored Zhang Heming and looked at the Ministry of War.

The civil servants in the Ministry of War yamen had gathered outside the door. Among them, the doctor of the Ministry of War called Xia Youqing also shouted: "What are your people from the East Factory doing? They actually took my Ministry of War Grand Marshal!"

Yang Huan took out an imperial edict and said, "Not only do you want to take your Grand Marshal of the Ministry of War, but also everyone in your Ministry of War. This is the will of the emperor. You dare to greed for the treasury allocated by Your Majesty in the name of being absent, and destroy our Ming Dynasty, and suffer the soldiers of the world, and the crimes are unforgivable! Your Majesty asks you to lock all of you and others in the imperial prison!"

As he said that, Yang Huan said, "Run in, take people, follow the order, and those who dare to disobey will be punished for the crime of treason, kill without mercy, and destroy the nine clans!"

Xia Youqing and other civil servants from the Ministry of War were shocked.

Of course, they also understood that they knew that it was because their Ministry of War would be arrested because of His Majesty's money from Emperor Mo.

For a moment, Xia Youqing even shouted first: "Xia Youqing, the doctor of the Ministry of War, revealed that the official had corruption in the military funds of 160,000 taels! All of them were the Minister of War, Zhang Heming, who forced the officials to corruption in the officials. Please tell Your Majesty the truth!"

"I also revealed it! I have been greedy for 90,000 taels, and it was Zhang Heming who forced us to greedy for greed."

For a moment, these civil servants of the Ministry of War said that it was Zhang Heming who forced them to get up.

Seeing this, Yang Huan was too lazy to pay attention to it, so he only ordered: "Take it all away!"

then.

These officials from the Ministry of War, including the Minister of War Zhang Heming, were all taken to the imperial prison.

...

Tongzhou.

Sun Yunhe was ordered to bring the Five Hundred Jinyiwei and the Qiandongchang military service to surround Tongzhou, and intercepted the first batch of silver carriages transported out of Tongzhou, and took the imperial edict and said: "Please check the salary according to the order!"

Zhao Liangbang, the head of the Ministry of War who was entrusted, felt uneasy when he saw this, but he still insisted on asking: "The military pay is always checked by the Censor of the Censorate. When is it your turn to Dongchang? This is the military pay entrusted to Jizhou. If something goes wrong, can you afford it?"

Sun Yunhe sneered: "It's because he's afraid that he can't afford to take care of it, so he has to check it carefully."

"You dare!"

Zhao Liangbang shouted loudly and then ordered: "Kill all of these people!"

So, the soldiers who were escorting the grain pulled out their knives and confronted Sun Yunhe and other factory guards.

Sun Yunhe was not panicked and asked these soldiers: "Do you want to rebel and be killed by the nine clans? Even the people from the factory guards dare to stop me. Remember, you eat imperial grain, the emperor's people, not the lackeys of these corrupt officials!"

These soldiers all took a step back.

Seeing this, Zhao Liangbang had to ask loudly: "How much money does this Master Qian want to let us go. Tell me a number!"

Sun Yunhe grinned: "Do you think I dare to take the emperor's money like you? My whole family is in the capital. Do you want to harm me?"

Sun Yunhe said, then shouted: "Call the people from the Qianfake Department of Nei Shutang to come over immediately and check it carefully. According to the figures of the Ministry of War owed wages in Jizhou, which was archived by the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War, calculated carefully. If anyone calculates less, you will have to compensate yourself!"

Suddenly, a group of private officials came over with abacus, paper, pen and scales, and began to unbox and silver in an orderly manner.

Zhao Liangbang was shocked when he saw this and sighed that these inner court had prepared so much account and were really prepared.

At this time, Sun Yunhe pulled out his knife and put it on Zhao Liangbang's neck: "This civil servant of the Ministry of War, you won't really have to wait for us to weigh it and find out the mistake before you can ask for it. To be honest, these people have learned the new accounting checking technique taught by His Majesty, and you can't hide the accounts."

"What do you want to ask?"

Zhao Liangbang asked.

"Speak, how much money do you have greedy for Jizhou? How much did you get yourself? Another batch is not shipped out of Tongzhou now, where is it?"

Sun Yunhe asked.

After hearing this, Zhao Liangbang became secretly surprised and thought that these people had been checking them, otherwise they would not have asked so carefully, so he had to answer truthfully: "According to the rules agreed by the Grand Marshal and Ji Tu, the total military salary transported to Jizhou was 647,000 taels. In the name of being lost, the Ministry of War was greedy for 30% of the ink, and the Ji Tuya yamen 20% of the ink, totaling 50%. Now only half of the ink was transported out of Tongzhou, which was distributed to the soldiers. The other half of the private silver belonging to the Ministry of War and Ji Tuya yamen still exists in the Tongzhou Cao Transportation Office."

...

At this time.

Zhang Heming had been detained in the imperial prison for a whole night.

After Wei Zhongxian received Zhao Liangbang's confession and imperial edict, he came to the imperial edict prison and met Zhang Heming.

"Zhangbutang, our family is now instructed to ask you. You'd better answer honestly. No lies, otherwise it will constitute the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Wei Zhongxian asked Zhang Heming: "Yansui General Zhao Shujiao submitted a memorial, saying that the military pay he gave him was 30% shorter. Didn't the emperor give you the fire and waste money? And it is strictly prohibited to send short military pay in any name, why didn't the military pay be drifted? If it was not enough, you should tell the emperor at that time, instead of sending short military pay in private! What's going on? Please answer truthfully! In addition, Zhao Liangbang, the head of the Ministry of War, confessed that your Ministry of War would be more than 200,000 taels of military pay in Ji Liao. What's going on? How much money did you have to pay in other places?"

After hearing this, Zhang Heming was naturally more convinced that Zhu Youxiao was dealing with his greed. Otherwise, if a general did not have the emperor's support behind his back, how could he dare to tell the court that he had shortage of military pay to the court, so that all the officials in his yamen were interrogated first.

"Does Your Majesty really want to punish me for this matter?"

Zhang Heming calmly asked Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian shouted: "Reply."

"Wei Zhongxian, you are a priest, tell Your Majesty that he cannot do this!"

Zhang Heming suddenly shouted loudly and said, "Piao is not a common practice. The reason why the late emperors of all dynasties did not blame this is because they knew that if they did not let this go, the phenomenon of vocation would be even more serious! The scholars and officials in the world would be even more disinterested with the emperor."

When Wei Zhongxian saw Zhang Heming talking to him, he had to say, "Test you! Give me a black fragrance!"

So, a Jinyiwei held a red soldering iron and pressed directly on Zhang Heming's fat belly, and the frying made Zhang Heming's flesh sizzle and sizzled.

"ah!"
Chapter completed!
