Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

Zhao Feng couldn't fathom the logic behind Zhu Yunhuan's actions, nor did he know what his master was thinking. However, he immediately clasped his fists and replied, "Yes! Your Majesty, I understand. I will take my leave."

After saying this, he backed out of the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Yunhuan took a deep breath, picked up the tea that had been drying next to him, and took a sip slowly. His eyes, as bright as the stars and as deep as the abyss, flickered slightly, and a hint of murderous intent appeared in his deep gaze: "Time has dragged on, and there is only one last thing left this winter."

……

The words are divided into two parts.

Jiangxi, Yuanzhou Prefecture, Pingxiang Mine.

Since Zhu Yunhuan issued the imperial edict, Zhuo Jing and Song Zhong took on the responsibility of auditing the accounts.

After discussing the case.

Zhuo Jing and Song Zhong split up into two groups. Song Zhong went to the Datong Mine where corruption had already been discovered. After all, the people who committed the crime were his subordinates, so he naturally felt that he had to handle this matter!

Others may not know the current emperor, but he does! Working under him is simple: be loyal, get things done, and do it beautifully!

When something happens to one of his subordinates, he has to show his loyalty!

At the same time Song Zhong led his men to Datong Prefecture.

Zhuo Jing took the account books that Zhu Yunhuan had picked out seemingly at random, and was accompanied by a team of Jinyiwei assigned to him by Song Zhong. In the name of an imperial envoy, he carefully checked the specific situation in each place.

Now we are investigating the area of ​​Jiangxi.

Jiangxi is much further south than Yingtian.

Although it snowed here, the snow was not too thick, but the air was always filled with a damp and cold feeling.

now.

Zhuo Jing sat with a gloomy face in this temporary office shed. This was a mine, so the furnishings were naturally quite simple. In front of him was a medium-sized desk with several open account books on it.

You can still faintly hear the "ding-dong" sounds, the workers' shouts, etc.

And there was no one else in this office besides him.

There was also a tall and strong man standing there, looking at Zhuo Jing without saying a word, with a bit of uneasiness in his resolute eyes - it was Yang Daqiang, a captain of the Jinyiwei who was in charge of the mine in Jiangxi under Song Zhong.

He moved his lips.

He seemed to want to say something several times, but facing this "imperial envoy", he did not dare to offend him. In the silent tent, he went back and forth several times, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Finally, Yang Daqiang could not hold it back any longer.

He stepped forward and said with a forced smile, "Master Zhuo... Since I arrived in Jiangxi, I have always strictly followed the orders of my superiors, not slacking off for even a moment. I have also always strictly controlled my subordinates. How could... how could there be any corruption? I guarantee it! Absolutely not!"

He said it with full confidence, and his expression did not seem to be false.

Despite this, Zhuo Jing still didn't say anything. He just stared at the account books in front of him without saying a word, and occasionally looked up at the entrance of the tent, as if waiting for something.

There was a complexity in his expression that Yang Daqiang couldn't understand.

Seeing Zhuo Jing like this, Yang Daqiang panicked even more. His previous promises were indeed not false, and he was also very confident in his management ability. After a moment of silence, he couldn't help but speak again: "Master Zhuo..."

"Captain Yang."

"Those who should be looked at have been looked at, and those who should be investigated are being investigated. The right and wrong will be determined later. If it is something that has not been done, the current emperor will not let it go unpunished. If it is something that has been done, the law will not let anyone who deceives the emperor go." As he spoke, Zhuo Jing bowed respectfully in the direction of Yingtian Prefecture.

But that's all I have to say.

But he sighed again.

He added something that left Yang Daqiang even more confused: "I actually hope nothing goes wrong here even more than you do!"

Hearing this, Yang Daqiang was slightly stunned. He swallowed his saliva and wanted to continue asking, but he also heard the annoyance in Zhuo Jing's voice. He shut up tactfully and just wondered in his heart.

He really couldn't figure out why Zhuo Jing was like this.

In fact... this corruption case has been investigated to Jiangxi for some time. Before coming to Jiangxi, he first went to the Huainan Mine and the Huaibei Mine.

These are the places that His Majesty in the Forbidden City specifically specified to be investigated.

He originally thought that... Zhu Yunhuan just flipped through the account books submitted by Song Zhong, and on a whim, randomly checked a few places.

But this account...

But he kept silent as he investigated—something was wrong! Everything was wrong! Since he began his thorough investigations, he had already arrested two Jinyiwei generals and one Jinyiwei minor!

Moreover, after detailed investigation and evidence collection.

The two Jinyiwei captains in charge of the Huainan Mine and the Huaibei Mine were not guilty of any other crime except the so-called negligence. The only ones who were causing trouble were the general flags and small flags under them.

And the account books that Your Majesty checked in the Qianqing Palace.

It wasn't a matter of the general ledgers in Huainan and Huaibei; it was the accounts under the management of the two general banners and one small banner that he had uncovered – accounts secretly tampered with food supplies and various mining tools and materials!

They are all done very secretly and it is difficult to find them without careful inspection.

Unlike the one who broke through the mine, they relied on the fact that it was too far away from Yingtian Prefecture and were bold enough to agree to be discovered by his people.

What does this mean? ?

"Your Majesty, with just a casual flick of the finger, a single pull... can be so accurate... If this mine in Jiangxi Province is also like this..." Thinking of this, Zhuo Jing shuddered...
