Liang Jing originally wanted to kill all those who deceived the emperor, so that they would remember the lesson and repent in their next life.
But Lu Yun felt that the problem should not be solved in this way, nor should they be left without even a chance.
We still have to give them a chance.
Let them know that the current emperor has great power and everything they do cannot escape the emperor's eyes.
From then on, they would be more cautious in doing things and more loyal to the emperor, instead of always deceiving and trying every possible way to hide.
To be honest, Liang Jing was very reluctant but wanted to make an example of someone to scare the monkeys, but after Lu Yun's persuasion, he had no choice but to agree.
If these ministers don't give face anymore, then there's no need for the emperor to be polite.
Soon, Lu Yun and the people from the Western Factory began to search the house.
He was very relaxed about the house search and was not timid at all. Instead, he looked very calm.
Soon, he arrived at the home of the Minister of Revenue.
They knocked directly on the minister's door, and the people from the Western Factory surrounded the place.
The Minister of Revenue was also confused!
He couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked in surprise.
"Eunuch Lu, what are you doing?"
"You, the people from the Western Factory, came to my house in the middle of the night. Isn't this the behavior of bandits? Although His Majesty has given you the right to execute first and report later, you cannot bully me so casually."
"Believe it or not, I will tell His Majesty directly and ask His Majesty to remove you from your position. I don't believe such an action of yours can gain His Majesty's support."
Lu Yun was not panicked at all. He spread his hands and explained, "I'm sorry, you are nothing in my eyes."
"You may tell His Majesty this, but you should consider whether you can survive until tomorrow."
"Master Zhou, have I ever told you that you have to give back all the money you embezzled? Even if you want to hide it, you have to give back most of it!
But you took out a small portion. Do you really think His Majesty is a fool?"
"There's a saying that goes, 'The jobs at the Ministry of Revenue are all very lucrative!'"
"For those of you in the Ministry of Revenue, this small amount of money shouldn't matter, right? But His Majesty is very anxious. If you all take out the money, how will you provide disaster relief and reassure the people?"
"Alright! Empty their house completely, leaving nothing behind. Even the tables and chairs must be taken away!"
"Yes, take away their bowls and chopsticks. I don't believe they dare to say anything more."
The Minister of Revenue was looking very angry just now and felt that he was very wronged.
Now he couldn't say a word. He had indeed done something wrong, but he didn't expect the emperor to find out so quickly, and he didn't expect the action to be taken so quickly.
He also thought that if he took out the money himself, the emperor would not care and would be magnanimous.
Now, look what happened. He just arrested himself.
When he thought of this, he felt very regretful. If he had known this would happen, he should have taken out the money.
But the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is now too afraid to say a word. If an emperor dares to do this, and if people from the Western Factory dare to do this, they must have sufficient evidence.
What else can I say?
After about half an hour, their house was emptied without any hesitation.
Looking at the empty house, the Minister of Revenue almost cried. He was not crying because his money was gone, but because his life was in danger!
"Take him away and wait for your punishment."
At the same time, many people from the Western Factory went to search the official's home in various places in the capital.
They all catch some typical cases so that they can serve as a warning to others.
Soon, Lu Yun brought another group of people and went directly to the home of the Minister of Personnel.
The Minister of Personnel can be said to be a very lucrative position.
After all, the people in the Ministry of Personnel are in charge of the appointment and transfer of officials.
Especially the Minister of Personnel, who has great power.
Many officials wanted to gain some benefits from the Minister of Personnel and wanted him to praise them, especially for some minor personnel appointments.
Even small officials such as county magistrates could be appointed by the Minister of Personnel personally.
No need to go through the emperor...
"Master Bai!"
Lu Yun knocked on the door in the middle of the night and shouted inside.
The Minister of Personnel was an old man who had gone to bed early. However, in the middle of the night, his new concubine started to act up again.
There was no other way, he could only drag himself tired and old body to start a new round of battle.
But he never expected that this kind of sound would appear at this moment. The whole mansion fell into panic, and he was also panicked.
Just as he was getting dressed, Lu Yun brought his men directly into his room.
All I saw was that the Minister of Personnel had gray hair and obvious wrinkles on his face, while the woman next to him was beautiful and youthful.
Especially when she was wearing a red bellyband and had fair skin, Lu Yun couldn't help but admire her.
So wonderful!
"Master Bai, you really know how to enjoy life. You're over a hundred years old and about to be buried, yet you're still able to find such a beautiful young concubine."
"Your life is so comfortable. His Majesty would probably envy you. How can you still be like this?"
"But Lord Bai, if you have money to find a concubine, but don't have money to donate to the court for disaster relief, can you please make an extra effort?"
The Minister of Personnel, Lord Bai, was shocked. He hurriedly put on his clothes and walked forward angrily to accuse him.
"Lu Yun!"
"Who asked you to come to me?"
"What are you doing here in my mansion in the middle of the night? Believe it or not, I will report you tomorrow and have His Majesty punish you severely!
Let me see, Your Majesty, whether you are on your side or on my side."
"Look at who the civil and military officials in the court and the two prime ministers are standing by."
Lu Yun curled his lips, looking very calm. "How should I know? However, Lord Bai, I have to tell you a piece of news in advance. That is, you may not be able to see His Majesty tomorrow."
"Your Majesty has already said in front of all of you ministers that if anyone dares to embezzle money and does not hand over most of the stolen money, then Your Majesty will not be polite."
"I'm sorry, Lord Bai, we've already discovered this."
"Today I'm here to confiscate your property and empty out all the financial resources in your entire mansion. Also, Master Bai, I believe His Majesty is furious right now!"
"You might even lose your life."
As he spoke, the Minister of Personnel knelt down and said, "Eunuch Lu, please give me a chance. I am willing to donate all my property and resign from my position. Just let me be an ordinary person."
"Eunuch Lu..."
