The harm of aristocratic families is still very rebel.

The latter is as fierce as fire, but there is always a way to extinguish it.

The former has existed since ancient times, and anyone can see aristocratic families digging for the foundation of the dynasty, but there are few means to control it.

Zhou Yi shook his head slowly: "You are not the first to say this, nor will you be the last one. The aristocratic family is very evil, but it is not the reason to become a corrupt official."

"Ahem, it's light!"

After the prisoner said that the Lu family had completely let go.

"I... my parents starved to death, but the officials were corrupt and fed with food for disaster relief. They swore to take the imperial examination and high school to cleanse the court and clean up the world!"

Zhou Yi was a little more interested: "Tell me about your experience of thinking that he was suffering and hatred but actually being clichéd?"

“…”

The prisoner was quite helpless, but his death was not far away, which was probably the last talk to someone before his execution.

"I passed the Jinshi for ten years and passed the imperial examination. I thought I could show my ambitions. However, the officials in the yamen were occupied by local tyrants, so I could not leave the yamen hall, so it was difficult to enter the village."

The prisoner glanced at Zhou Yi: "The most difficult one is a lowly clerk like you."

Zhou Yi nodded slightly, "Imperial power and clerks share the world with the world, how can I just talk about it?"

"I went through several counties, but not only failed to do anything, but became a laughing stock in the same subject, and I received comments every year!"

The prisoner murmured: "How can you have any ambitions after such wasted years? You simply let them go, reading, writing and writing every day, and not caring about yamen affairs."

Ideals and futures have eroded reality and turned into stupid officials.

Zhou Yi asked: "What does this have to do with the Lu family?"

"In the sixth year of Hongchang or seventh year, he went to Changfeng County, which happened to floods... The rivers were overflowing, and people were fish and turtles."

The prisoner recalled: "As usual, I submitted a memorial, asking the Ministry of Revenue to allocate silver and grain to provide disaster relief. According to the process, the court must first investigate the disaster situation, and then formulate a disaster relief regulations, and go back and forth for a long time."

"The people who have died in major disasters are almost the same. Just give less money. The minor disaster will pass by itself and there is no need to save it."

"I never thought that the court quickly ordered the transportation of grain from several surrounding counties and allocated another 300,000 taels of disaster relief silver."

"As such disaster relief efforts, Changfeng County will be able to easily overcome floods. I can't sleep day and night, wasting ten years of time, and finally I can do something for the people to fulfill my parents' wishes!"

When the prisoner said this, he paused: "I was famine back then, and my parents warned me at the end of my life: I should be a good official in the future and save the people from water and fire!"

Zhou Yi was standing upright, and this criminal was indeed a bit different from the previous one.

There were a lot of corrupt officials in the prison. Zhou Yi heard them tell him the reasons for making money. It seemed strange and strange, but it was ultimately caused by the desire to enjoy.

"Just just as I was ecstatic to prepare for disaster relief, the people from the Lu family came."

The prisoner said hatefully: "A humble disciple pointed at the emperor's disciple and scolded him. The food and silver were asked by the Lu family from the court. Why should they be distributed to the people?"

"However, this also made me realize why the court allocated money and food, which had nothing to do with the memorial!"

Zhou Yi said: "The disaster relief money and food were sent to the Lu family in the end?"

"What else can I do?"

The prisoner said: "Changfeng County is under Luyang Prefecture, and the Lu family has been in charge for thousands of years. If you say nothing, you will commit suicide by embezzling money and food that day!"

"What after?"

In fact, Zhou Yi can guess the subsequent development without asking.

"The money and grain were given to the Lu family, and the people in Changfeng County suffered heavy casualties, so they had to sell their children and daughters to make a living..."

The prisoner sighed: "I was judged as the first emperor. The inspector praised me for loving the people as my son and for making contributions in disaster relief. A year later, he was transferred to Luyang Prefecture as the chief judge!"

The local prefectures and prefectures are also seventh-ranked magistrates, but one step from a county to a province is to be promoted.

In a natural disaster, the Lu family made money and land, and the prisoners were promoted to the post, and everyone was happy!

"Since then, I became an official of the Lu family, and I was awarded the top rank every year. After more than ten years, I was promoted to the governor of Luzhou and was in charge of the country."

The prisoner laughed: "The same subjects whom I laughed at back then became friends again. In order to be able to follow me, I gave me money, gave me a gift to the courtesan, wrote poems, and flattered me!"

"From now on, I will be greedy if I have money, and I will sell if I have an official position, without restraint..."

"It's lawless!"

Zhou Yi snorted coldly. This person experienced wasted time, despair, and completely degenerated in the fear of death.

The prisoner's eyes were faint and his voice was illusory: "What is law? That is the art of governing the people and restraining the people! What is heaven? Your Majesty is heaven, the court is heaven, and scholars are heaven!"

Zhou Yi said: "However, you are going to die now."

"The moment I became a lackey in the Lu family, I was already dead."

The prisoner's eyes were empty and unconscious: "So what can I do if I kill me? No one can change the officialdom, and no one can save the court!"

Zhou Yi said coldly: "There are corrupt officials who count on each other. If they catch them, they will peel them and rush to the grass."

The prisoner said, "Then the one who replaced it is another group of corrupt officials!"

Zhou Yi asked: "So the court is so scattered?"

The prisoner shook his head gently, pointed to his face and said, "It's not that the court is bad, nor that the aristocratic family is bad, but that the scholars are bad!"

Zhou Yi was slightly stunned. This guy was indeed a little different from the corrupt official before. He said curiously: "You are a dog from the Lu family and are an official in Luyang, why did you go to the Heavenly Prison?"

"The owner has fattened the dog and will kill it to eat it, so that the dog will turn over and make the decision one day."

The prisoner said, "In this way, the Lu family not only robbed the silver, but also won the hearts of the people. For the sake of the corrupt officials who harmed the country, the Qingtian Master of the Lu family was arrested, and the people applauded!"

"It seems you are not the first dog."

"It's not the last one, either."

"You haven't thought about resisting?"

“Is it useful?”

The prisoner's remarks made Zhou Yi stunned for a long time.

The aristocratic family that has been passed down for thousands of years is scary even if they think about it. If they don’t have golden fingers and plug-ins, they really have no way to start.

Leave the cell.

Zhou Yi informed Zhu Jiawei in detail about the results of the interrogation.

"Lu family!"

Captain Zhu's eyes widened: "Will you not be able to catch up?"

Zhou Yi said in confusion: "Old Zhu, you have a problem, why are you so concerned about this?"

"It's okay! Lao Zhou, you are busy, I'll go out if I have something to do."

Captain Zhu repeatedly denied it and then left.

Zhou Yi frowned slightly: "Old Zhu, can't this guy take advantage of some big shots to do things for others? Millions of taels of silver are enough to support the army. The only people in the entire Fengyang Kingdom can use!"

It is not that I am worried about the safety of Master Zhu. Everyone has to bear the consequences of the path they choose.

Zhou Yi was worried that Yuchi would be affected. If Ziwei Zhu was suspected of a major case, his usual friend would inevitably be affected.

...

A prophecy came true.

The first month of the 18th year of Hongchang.

Before the festive celebration of the New Year was dissipated, a shocking case occurred in Fengyang Kingdom, causing turmoil in the court.

The prince of the regent Zhao Chi intends to kill the monarch!

The Jinyiwei captured the imperial chef who was trying to poison him on the spot. After interrogating him overnight, he searched the dragon robe and jade seal from the East Palace.

According to the confession of the eunuch of the Eastern Palace, the prince ordered that he would call him His Majesty on weekdays and called the Crown Princess the Empress, and the other concubines and concubines responded to the harem.

Facing the conclusive evidence, Zhao Chi had no choice but to refute it and admitted that he colluded with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to try to rebel.

Hongchang was furious!

The imperial guards surrounded the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and the Jinyiwei searched for relevant princelings and feuds throughout the city.

Captain Zhu is the young pawn who has just joined the prince’s command!
