"My lord, this is the investigation report sent by Mr. Tan from Seoul Mansion."
In the official office of the Ministry of War, an official knocked on the office door of Li Qiye, Chief of the Ministry of War, and submitted a newly arrived report.
"There are investigation results so soon?"
Li Qiye also showed joy when he heard the investigation report sent by the vice president Tan Feng. He put down the vermilion pen in his hand and took it over.
Li Qiye opened the submitted investigation report and quickly read it at a glance.
After reading this investigation report, Li Qiye's complexion also turned black, and his eyes were full of anger.
"This Yang Anze deserves death!"
Li Qiye slammed the report on the wooden table, full of anger.
The imperial court handed over such an important place of the No. 5 Arsenal to Yang Anze, the general manager, and it can be said that he has a lot of trust in him.
However, Yang Anze and a group of officials only know that they are greedy and deduct money from craftsmen, and they live a life of luxury.
It can be said that Yang Anze is mainly responsible for the reason why the craftsman Xie Rong escaped from the No. 5 Armory this time.
"Tell Vice President Tan that the death of a scum like Yang Anze is not a pity, and execute them all on the spot! Set the record straight!" Li Qiye stood up and sternly said.
This was a scandal in their military department, so Li Qiye wanted to deal with it seriously to show his attitude.
"My lord, I heard that Yang Anze and others have been detained by Jin Yiwei." The official reminded.
After all, Jin Yiwei directly obeyed the emperor's orders. Since Yang Anze was detained by them, Li Qiye, the chief of the military department, naturally had no way to ask for someone from them. How to deal with Yang Anze and others needed the order of the emperor Chen Ziang.
"Send this report to the palace immediately, how to deal with Yang Anze and others, and follow His Majesty's will." Li Qiye ordered after thinking about it.
"Mr. Tan asked someone to bring a message. The matter of the No. 5 arsenal has involved Mr. Ma. Please be prepared, Mr. Chief." The official lowered his voice after looking around.
After hearing the official's words, Li Qiye was also taken aback, and immediately thought of Ma Fengqi, the deputy director of the logistics equipment department in charge of the arsenal.
"Mafonki?"
Li Qiye asked uncertainly.
The official nodded.
"How credible is it?"
Li Qiye was also full of disbelief when he heard that his brother-in-law was involved in the incident at the No. 5 Arsenal.
You must know that as the chief of the Ministry of War and the Duke of the Empire, he has a lot of salary and various rewards.
His brother-in-law entered the official system by taking the imperial examination, and was promoted to the deputy director of the logistics equipment department step by step by virtue of his talents. Li Qiye also valued him a lot.
But now that he suddenly heard that his brother-in-law was actually involved in a major corruption case, Li Qiye was also full of doubts about it.
"The news was sent by Vice President Tan, so it is probably credible," said the official.
"This bastard!"
If his brother-in-law Ma Fengqi was involved in this matter, it would be a great disadvantage to him, and Li Qiye couldn't help but swear.
You must know that Han Feng, the deputy commander of the Third Field Army, was not strict with his command, which led to his personal guards stealing and plundering, which eventually detonated the corruption case of the Third Field Army.
In that incident, not only was Han Feng, the deputy commander of the army, beaten to the end, but he is still locked up in the prison.
The Third Field Army Corps was also purged from top to bottom. Dozens of officers including the Deputy Banner Commander and Banner Battalion Commander were arrested, and many of them were beheaded for public display.
Emperor Chen Zi'ang always hated corruption, but now his brother-in-law was involved in it, which made Li Qiye not afraid.
If I don't do it right, I will also be implicated because of this time, not to mention the position of the chief, I guess I will go to jail and lose my head.
Fortunately, Tan Feng, the vice president, reminded himself in time, otherwise, once Chen Ziang found out first, he would be passive.
"Since he is involved in this matter, immediately arrest that bastard Ma Fongqi and put him in jail!" Li Qiye ordered.
Li Qiye knew that he had to take the initiative now, otherwise, he would not be able to clean himself up by jumping into the Yellow River.
Now no matter how deeply Ma Fonchi is involved in this matter, his Ministry of War"Master, you must show your posture.
"But he is yours"
"There is nothing but, no matter who it is, as long as they violate the laws of the empire, they will be severely punished!" Li Qiye said righteously.
"Prepare the car, I want to enter the palace to meet His Majesty."
While Li Qiye ordered the arrest of his brother-in-law Ma Fengqi, he also planned to go to the palace and report the situation to Chen Ziang immediately to prove his innocence.
Soon, Li Qiye hurried to the palace, but to his surprise, he did not see Chen Ziang immediately.
"Master Li, His Majesty is now discussing matters with Lord Qin, please wait a moment."
In the reception room of the front hall, staff member Yuan Pu received Li Qiye, invited him to a seat, and ordered someone to serve him tea.
Yuan Pu, Chen Ziang's close aide, sat and talked with Li Qiye, but Li Qiye was in a bad mood now, so he looked into the hall from time to time.
After waiting for more than half an hour, an internal official came to the reception room to report that Qin An, the head of the Ministry of Officials, had left and Li Qiye was able to enter.
"Your Majesty, the absconding of the craftsmen from the No. 5 Armory Factory has been investigated clearly. Everything is caused by the factory manager Yang Anze and others deceiving the top and bottom, corrupting Mo Ke to deduct money and grain, and oppressing the craftsmen"
After Li Qiye met the ceremony and submitted the report, he personally reported the cause and effect of the matter.
"This matter is due to the ineffective supervision of the Ministry of War, which has caused huge losses to the empire. I am willing to accept all punishments." After Li Qiye finished the report, he also deeply blamed himself.
Chen Zi'ang waved his hand and said: "As the chief of the Ministry of War, you manage a lot of things every day. It is understandable that you have ineffective supervision. You have to learn a lesson from this matter. You must rectify the Ministry of War when you go back."
Seeing that Chen Ziang didn't blame himself, Li Qiye felt even more guilty, especially when thinking about his brother-in-law, he felt more and more sorry for Chen Ziang's trust and the empire.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report." After some hesitation, Li Qiye continued.
"Oh, what else?"
"Your Majesty, Ma Fengqi, deputy director of the Logistics Equipment Department, is in charge of various arsenals. I suspect that he is also involved in the corruption incident in the No. 5 arsenal, and he is likely to be the mastermind. If he is arrested and brought to justice, His Majesty will ask you how to deal with it!" Li Qiye said loudly.
Seeing Li Qiye voluntarily confessing his brother-in-law, Chen Ziang was quite surprised.
Chen Ziang has learned the cause and effect of the matter through Jin Yiwei, and asked Jin Yiwei to conduct a secret investigation in order to obtain evidence and not spread it outside.
After all, Ma Fengqi is Li Qiye's brother-in-law, if he is touched without evidence, it will make Li Qiye, a member of the imperial court, feel bad.
At the same time, Chen Ziang also wanted to know if Li Qiye was involved. If he was involved, it would be a huge loss to the empire.
What Chen Ziang didn't expect was that Li Qiye came to the door and confessed to his brother-in-law.
"This is the impeachment note that Qin Aiqing, the head of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, just sent up. I impeach you for nepotism and conniving at your family members to corrupt the law"
After Chen Ziang thought for a while, he asked the internal officer to give the copybook on the table to Li Qiye who was standing there.
?After receiving the passbook, Li Qiye broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't expect Qin An to stab himself in the back.
If I protect my brother-in-law Ma Fengqi a little bit, I won't be able to tell if I really jumped into the Yellow River when the time comes.
"I think this impeachment is exaggerated. I still know you well. You will never do things that are sorry to me." Chen Ziang said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust!"
Li Qiye was also very moved. If it was someone else, he would probably have lost his black hat now.
Chen Ziang changed the subject: "However, Li Aiqing should pay more attention to whether someone is using your name to do something corrupt and lawless."
"For those who ruined your reputation, you should sort out the relationship, so as to avoid bad influence. After all, you are an important minister of the empire. If you are entangled in these rumors, how can you relieve my worries?" (Note Website website: www.hlnovel.com
