I want to ruin the country

After leaving Ruijin, Yining secretly thought that he really had to be wary of those city foxes and rats, otherwise, it would be disastrous if he couldn't provide food at the critical moment!

Ruijin is afraid today. Actually, Ruijin is not a bad official. He has the ability. It's just that he has been in the officialdom for a long time and has become a little slippery. He just keeps around his own small circle and has no overall view.

Let’s see this time. If he can withstand Mu Zhang’a’s pressure and sort out the issue of the granary, he can still be used. Otherwise, we can only replace him. Not only do I not keep useless people here, I also don’t keep idle people!

Ruijin hurried back to the Ministry of Revenue, and without caring what time it was, he immediately called the left and right assistant ministers to hold a meeting!

The two assistant ministers were one Manchu and one Han. The left assistant minister was Ulidu, who had just been transferred from the Ministry of Works, and the right assistant minister was Pan Youjun, who had been in the Ministry of Revenue for many years.

Ruijin didn't bother to be polite with them today. As soon as everyone was done, he said directly,

"You two, today I went to see the Emperor, and he scolded me!"

"Ah, the Emperor is angry!"

Ruijin Road,

"It's more than just anger. The Emperor has said that within a month, a list of the people in need of relief must be submitted to the Emperor's Dragon Book Desk.

All government warehouses must be thoroughly checked within two months to ensure the actual amount of grain in stock is clearly ascertained.

Furthermore, if one person dies of starvation across the country this year, all officials of the fourth rank and above in the Ministry of Revenue will be dismissed from their posts!"

The Left Assistant Minister Wu Lidu was anxious.

"Sir, some places are thousands of miles long, and a round trip would take twenty or thirty days, not to mention the time we have to calculate. It's not even a month yet!"

Right Assistant Minister Pan Youjundao,

"How could His Majesty do this? We can't just ask every granary to take out the grain and weigh it. This matter is under the responsibility of Lord Mu. Isn't it legitimate for him to investigate?"

Ruijin looked at him as if he were an idiot.

"You two, you still don't understand. I don't know what the emperor heard. He is afraid of being alone!"

"Uh..., this..."

Both of them are not stupid, there is something they don't know. The government warehouses, charity warehouses, and Changping warehouses sell inferior products as good ones, and there are also people building walls in front of the warehouse doors. What kind of activities don't they have?

"Sir, what should we do?"

Ruijin said

"At this point, you can't even resign, so you have no choice but to take a gamble. If you succeed, there's still a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, you'll have to imagine the consequences!"

The two of them were frowning and racking their brains to think of a solution!

Ruijin thought to himself that everyone's good days were over, and the emperor would not tolerate people who just lived a lazy life!

Wang Jindou was so busy every day that he had no time to rest. One case led to another, and not only did it involve some officials of all ranks, but it also implicated many monks and nuns!

This time the fun was so intense that even temples and nunneries were not spared.

It turns out that Ma Yu and other evil young men have colluded with monks and nuns to defraud money, rape women, and abduct men!

Since ancient times, wealthy families have lived in large and deep courtyards, and the ladies in the family rarely go out.

Unless there are some traditional temple fairs, spring outings, Qingming outings, autumn outings, etc. nearby, you can go out and see the world.

These ladies and young ladies are inevitably lonely as they live in seclusion, so they hope to meet some outsiders to relieve their boredom.

Apart from peddlers, the only people who usually come to the door are some monks.

In people's impression, monks and nuns are beyond the Three Realms and are not bound by the Five Elements. They are all people who have practiced and attained enlightenment.

Since they are people who have attained enlightenment, their moral character must be noble. They have transcended the world and have no desires or demands. Therefore, most people are not on guard against them.

In fact, there are many truly enlightened monks, but there are also many monks and nuns who have not attained enlightenment but use Buddhism to make money and deceive people.

They took advantage of people's lack of awareness of their identities to walk around the streets and visit wealthy families.

Young women and girls seldom go out, so they have less experience, while monks and nuns travel all over the world, so what they have the most is experience.

They could tell stories like three toads with seven eyes, someone's pig gave birth to a dog, someone's concubine was abducted by a servant, and so on.

They use these rumors to slowly build relationships with others, and over time, they naturally become friends.

In this way, they could find out some of the secrets of the boudoirs in wealthy families, such as which young lady was having sexual thoughts, which concubine was having an affair, which young woman was lonely in her boudoir, etc.

Then they exaggerate the story and spread it around, attracting some playboys to gather around them to inquire and spend money.

They gain benefits by providing information and making connections for these people.

Some men are in love and some women are interested in each other, but they have no place to meet in secret.

They would arrange for these people to meet in their temples and provide them with food and drink.

Naturally, both men and women will not lose their benefits. It is fine as it is consensual, after all, although it is immoral, it is not a serious evil.

What's worse, some playboys or hooligans take a fancy to someone's young wife or daughter, but the other party is a respectable family and refuses to associate with them.

They would collude with monks and nuns and use various excuses such as burning incense, praying, and fulfilling vows to trick people into temples, monasteries, and nunneries, either getting them drunk or drugging them, giving the bad guys the opportunity to do their thing.

In this era, reputation is highly valued. After being insulted, most women choose to keep silent and suffer the loss.

There are also some strong-willed women who choose to commit suicide after being insulted, and some even cause their families to be broken up. It is unknown how many lives these monks and nuns have ruined and how much sin they have committed!

Therefore, this group of monks are the most hateful. As long as there are benefits, they will throw their conscience as human beings to the wind and don’t care about other people’s life or death.

The evil young men like Ma Yu have no shortage of money, so naturally they are surrounded by monks and nuns who help them commit evil.

As long as they set their eyes on a girl or young lady, these bald men will try their best to help them succeed.

Over the years, a few evil young men have used such means to harm countless women.

They not only harm women, but also men. If they can afford money, it's easy to deal with them, but if they refuse to obey, they will use any means necessary!

During this interrogation, Ma Yu told everything that had happened in the past. Wang Jindou followed the clues and arrested many monks and nuns.

After listening to Wang Jindou's report, Yining saw that the monks and nuns alone helped Ma Yu to harm dozens of women, some of whom were married.

One of the women was unwilling to live after being humiliated, so she jumped into the well, leaving behind her two children who were only a few years old.

Her husband filed a complaint with the Daxing County Court. The magistrate, Liu Hongxi, accepted bribes and tried the case over and over again, but said that there was insufficient evidence and he didn't even arrest the person. Ma Yu continued to commit crimes as usual.

He filed another complaint at the Shuntian Prefecture government office. Eltai followed the same prescription and not only did he not arrest Ma Yu, he also beat the plaintiff with thirty boards, saying that he had falsely accused an innocent citizen.

The man had no place to seek justice, so in a rage he went to find Ma Yu with a kitchen knife and fought her to death. As a result, he was beaten to death by Ma's servants.
