Ming Dynasty: The army is forcing the palace, you say that Lao Zhu faked his death

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang and Jiang Zhen were discussing the affairs of the Mo family, suddenly the people on the boat shouted, "The ship is going to dock!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked forward at this time and found that the bow of the ship was already slowly sailing into the port.

Although the river channel in Huai'an has not yet been fully built, the port and wharf have been built.

Compared to the dilapidated appearance of the past, the pier is now larger.

At first glance, it looks like it has just been repaired.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the scene of these wharves, and finally realized the results of Zhu Quan's dredging of the river.

As soon as the ship landed, several people in official uniforms immediately got on board.

"Don't walk around, you have to verify your identity one by one!"

Several people who spoke immediately attracted Zhu Yuanzhang's attention.

I saw that those people were wearing the clothes of local officials and officials, but the difference was that the "ninety-seven-zero" pattern on the clothes on their bodies obviously had the symbol of the river.

Obviously, these people are not ordinary officials and officials, but people who specialize in managing transportation.

These men looked at the passengers on the ship, their eyes scraping like knives, as if to tell those present to be honest and not to play tricks.

The owner of the ship and the merchant who chartered the ship immediately rushed to hear the sound.

They nodded in the face of these low-ranking officials and small officials, and greeted them in a low voice.

Those officials and officials didn't accept their understanding, but instead held down the two of them and said, "Don't pay attention to these false courtesies, don't hurry up and hand over the list of personnel to us!"

The owner of the ship did not dare to delay, so he immediately took out the list in his hand and handed it to the little official to look at.

The clerk glanced at it, and immediately noticed that there were several different passengers on the list.

That is Zhu Yuanzhang and the Jinyiwei and others he brought.

He raised his eyes and swept it, and immediately fixed the target on Zhu Yuanzhang and the others.

"You're the ones who got on the boat halfway?"

Zhu Yuanzhang saw these officials and officials looking so vigorous, and he was already holding back a wave of anger in his heart.

When he was young, he also encountered this kind of petty official in the fish and meat township, who was powerful and powerful.

It's just that at that time, he was still weak and couldn't resist Zhu Chongba.

However, of course, he knew that this situation could not be angry.

It's not a good thing to reveal your identity at this time.

So, he could only suppress the anger in his heart and said, "Yes, it's us." "

Jiang Zhen beside Zhu Yuanzhang was already standing by his side, one hand handed out the fake household registration documents that had been prepared a long time ago, and the other hand had unconsciously pressed on the weapon.

As the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he hadn't encountered a situation where he needed to do it himself for a long time.

However, his skills are also among the best, and if he really wants to do it, he is not afraid at all.

Jiang Zhen has now entered a state of alert, as long as there is any change in these people for a while, he plans to make a move.

However, to their surprise, the questioning officer did not embarrass them too much after obtaining the household registration certificate and confirming their true identities.

He didn't even ask for bribes, so he waved his hand and said to them, "You guys go over there and line up and pay the money." "

Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled when he heard this, and asked, "Pay the money, what money?"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang heard that the other party asked for money, the whole person became vigilant.

The other party is so blatantly asking for money, is it asking them for bribes?

Are these officials so justifiable in asking for bribes?

When Zhu Yuanzhang thought of those corrupt officials, and then thought of his experience when he was a child, anger continued to brew in his heart.

And Jiang Xuan, who was on the side, heard something wrong at this time.

He looked in the direction pointed by the little official, saw many queues in front of him, and had a rough guess in his heart.

Could it be that the people in line are going to charge for waterways?

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhen held a silver ingot in his hand, and a courteous and eager smile appeared on his face.

"A few officials, do you have to pay the water toll ahead?"

The little official waved his hand impatiently: "Yes, yes, since you know, you should hurry up, so as not to be in line for a while." "

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he realized that this was the waterway fee specially formulated by Zhu Quan.

I didn't expect it to be collected in this place.

Regarding the matter of waterway fees, Jiang Zhen and other Jinyiwei have investigated a lot. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

However, seeing that there was a ready-made source of intelligence, Jiang Zhen still wanted to investigate a little more

He stepped forward, with a bit of deliberate flattery and eagerness on his face, and pulled the little official with one hand. 0

opened his mouth and said: "A few officials, you must be tired of performing official duties for so long, this is a piece of the villain's heart, please laugh at it." "

Jiang Xuan said as he handed over the silver ingot in his hand.

I thought that the little official would accept the money in his hand with a smile.

But what Jiang Xuan didn't expect was that as soon as the little official found out what Jiang Zhen handed over, his face changed greatly!

It almost used all the strength of his body to push the silver ingot out of Jiang Xuan's hand!

"What are you going to do! Put what you're holding!"

The little official looked at the silver ingot in Jiang Xuan's hand, as if he was not seeing money, but as if he saw his father's killer!

It was the first time Jiang Zhen had seen that someone would look at silver ingots with this kind of gaze.

When the little official saw that Jiang Xuan didn't know what was going on, he was simply angry.

"Don't you know that King Ning is arresting corrupt officials and corrupt officials now, and he is actually framing his own officials like this?"

"If you catch it, it's a death!"

When Jiang Xuan heard this, he said: "I'm sorry, it's the villain who didn't think it through, and I hope the adults will forgive me." "

The little official's face was still angry, he looked at the others, and said, "His Royal Highness King Ning has already said that those who are caught taking bribes will be severely punished!"

"If you have this idea, I advise you to dispel this idea as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame us for turning our faces and not recognizing people!"

The words that were released were loud, as if they had already regarded the silver sent to 3.6 as a flood beast.

Everyone present was dumbfounded.

Although more or less everyone present had heard that King Ning had recently rectified the rule of officials.

But they didn't expect it to be rectified to such a point!

Those officials who had always been overjoyed to see that oil and water could be fished out looked like they were facing a great enemy when they saw the silver!

It's a novelty!

I really don't know what kind of method King Ning used to make these officials have such a big change!

Even Jiang Zheng, a person who regards corruption and bribery as a commonplace phenomenon, can't help but be amazed.

As soon as King Ning made a move, did it really have such a big effect?

Let these officials who chase petty profits have such a big change?

It's unimaginable!.
