Soon, a commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards brought a person over.
"Your Majesties, the document has been confirmed. I have already sent someone from the East Hall.”
He knelt on one knee and cupped his fists.
Not long after, a large group of Embroidered Uniform Guards arrived.
Zhu Zhanji nodded.
"That's right, please say hello to Third Uncle.”
Zhu Zhanji suddenly remembered something and instructed the commander.
Then, he left with these.
East City.
The people who lived here were all nobles, and it was relatively peaceful on normal days.
However, when a group of Embroidered Uniform Guards appeared on the street, the people around them retreated as if they were avoiding a tiger.
They were afraid that they would have anything to do with the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
"It seems that the bad reputation of the Embroidered Uniform Guards has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.”
Looking at this scene, Zhu Zhan Xin sighed with emotion.
"Of course. Ever since great-grandfather established the Embroidered Uniform Guards, they had the responsibility of supervising all officials. Their power was so great that anyone who saw them would be terrified.”
Zhu Zhanji raised his head proudly.
Soon, they arrived in front of a mansion.
When the servant at the door saw the Embroidered Uniform Guards coming over, his expression instantly changed and he wanted to go in and close the door.
However, two of the Embroidered Uniform Guards stepped forward and immediately restrained them.
"The Embroidered Uniform Guards are handling a case."
As he spoke, he took out his waist token and waved it in front of them.
And that servant also did not do anything to use his master to pressure the Jinyiwei.
After all, if the Jinyiwei were to come, it would be useless even if you were a high-ranking official.
Then, without waiting for them to make any arrangements, the Embroidered Uniform Guards looked at each other and rushed in with machetes in their hands.
After a while, a cry of surprise came from inside.
At the same time, dozens of Brocade Guards surrounded the entire residence in an orderly manner, ensuring that no one would leave this place.
Zhu Zhanji stood outside with Zhu Zhanyu, and a dozen Jinyiwei guards stood by them.
"We don't need to go in?"
Zhu Zhan Xin was somewhat puzzled.
"No need, the Embroidered Uniform Guards will handle those chores.”
Zhu Zhanji smiled.
This made Zhu Zhan stunned for a moment. This was somewhat different from what he had imagined.
Soon, a thousand-man walked out.
"Your Highnesses, the interior has already been tidied up.”
Zhu Zhanji nodded and greeted him.
"Let's go, it's our turn."
As she spoke, she brought him in.
After entering, they found that everyone in the house was gathered in the front yard.
"Your Highness, all 123 people in the residence are here.”
This was the first time Zhu Zhanxin had seen the Brocade Guard move so efficiently, and he could not help but feel a little surprised.
He looked at them and found that they did not have any injuries.
In other words, the Embroidered Uniform Guards did not resist when they urged them.
True, the Jinyiwei had a bad reputation. Who would dare to be such a thorn in their side?
Zhu Zhanji sized up the crowd and took out the document from his pocket.
"According to the Jinyiwei's surveillance, the Minister of Justice, Shi Zhang Heyuan, has taken bribes and perverted the law. He connived at the children of his relatives to occupy fertile land. The evidence is conclusive.”
Upon hearing this, the faces of the people below turned pale. Some of them even began to cry softly.
However, no one denied it. The Jinyiwei always paid attention to evidence when they were dispatched, unless they had done nothing.
Otherwise, when the Embroidered Uniform Guards came, he would just have to wash his neck and wait.
"As for their relatives and children, they will be stripped of their clan status and demoted to commoners. All their money will be confiscated.”
With that, Zhu Zhanji waved his hand, and the Brocade Guards took them away.
"Big Brother, is this all the punishment the Ministry of Justice has given to those in the United States?”
Zhu Zhan was stunned. Taking bribes and perverting the law, occupying fertile land, this and that were all great crimes.
If this had happened to his great-grandfather, Zhu Yuanzhang, it would have been normal for his entire family to be executed.
At the very least, he would be exiled to the border. This whole thing was just a joke. Wasn't this all thunder and no rain?
"Ahem, he's an old minister of the State.”
Zhu Zhanji reminded him softly.
"There are still many old ministers in the court who are Jianwen's subordinates. Father also took advantage of this time to act. Otherwise, if Royal Grandfather acted, I'm afraid it would agitate them.”
He was afraid that Zhu Zhan Xin would not understand and explained.
Zhu Zhanxin rolled his eyes. His father was just like that. He was not ruthless enough.
Did they really think that by doing this, those old Jianwen ministers would think of their good deeds?
They only cared about their own benefits. If they benefited from Jianwen, they would support him.
In his eyes, they were a bunch of ingrates who could bite him at any time.
However, there was nothing they could do now. Jingnan had just passed and the court was lacking people. Otherwise, they would not have been used.
After that, Zhu Zhanji waved his hand and ordered the Brocade Guards to take action.
Meanwhile, Zhu Zhanji sat in the courtyard with Zhu Zhanxin, watching as boxes of money and treasures were carried out.
"How is it? Are these Embroidered Uniform Guards efficient?”
Zhu Zhanji raised his head.
"Come, let me tell you the secret behind this.”
Zhu Zhanji waved at him.
"Let me tell you, this is a lucrative job.”
"Oh? Could it be that they could steal it?”
"That's right. This money has to go into the national treasury. Even if they had a hundred guts, they wouldn't dare to steal it.”
Zhu Zhanji waved his hand and explained.
"It's like this. There's a rule here. All the Jinyiwei who participate in the raid will receive a considerable amount of money after the event, equivalent to their annual salary
."”
Zhu Zhan Xin frowned.
"Who gave you this money?"
Zhu Zhanji pointed at the sky, his meaning self-evident.
"That's why, when they heard about the raid, those Jinyiwei were like hungry wolves. I'm telling you, these Jinyiwei probably fought a lot just now because of the raid.”
Zhu Zhanji seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of his mouth curled up into an evil smile.
"Your Majesties, we've finished counting. We found a total of 500,000 taels of silver, 80,000 taels of gold, 120 bolts of silk…a total of 1,030,000 taels.”
Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji's face darkened and he sat up.
"We really caught a big fish!”
He could not help but sigh.
Da Ming's annual income was only 20 million taels, this one million taels was equivalent to 1(20 of Da Ming's annual tax!
No wonder Zhu Zhanji was so excited.
