Chapter 344 Ma Zheng Corruption Case



The old man from the Pang family had his head smashed and the burns on his body looked very serious.

The current dynasty stipulated that officials of the fifth rank and above and their families could invite imperial physicians to visit their homes for medical consultations.

Pang Shaoqing spent a lot of money to hire an old imperial physician to treat his bloody father.

When the wound was being cleaned, Old Man Pang was in excruciating pain and howling like a pig being slaughtered.

The old imperial physician frowned, and the young disciple immediately understood.

After half a bowl of Ma Fei San was poured into the patient's mouth, he fell into a coma in a short while.

Now that there was no interference, the old imperial physician and the young apprentice worked in perfect harmony and finally cleaned the wound and sprinkled medicinal powder all over the wound.

He instructed his servants not to move the injured man around, as his injured head needed two days to heal.

The powder on the wound cannot be wiped off, and he will come back for a follow-up visit in three days.

Pang Shaoqing was worried and stood up to see him off in person.

The old imperial physician knew what he was worried about, so he said frankly, "Your father's condition may look scary, but the injuries are not serious. However, the hands and face without cloth will leave scars."

Pang Shaoqing asked, "Is the wound on my father's head also okay?"

The old imperial physician carefully chose his words and said tactfully, "After all, as we age, every illness damages our vitality, which will more or less affect our lifespan."

What could he say? A man in his fifties, burned, still thinking about restoring his appearance? Even younger people couldn't do that!

Besides the wound on his head, judging from the way he howled with all his strength just now, it was obvious that he would not die in the short term.

The old imperial physician knew that his words were unpleasant, so he didn't say it too bluntly, hoping that the family members could understand it on their own.

Pang Shaoqing had just dealt with a troublesome matter at home when he heard that someone had submitted a memorial to impeach him at the court meeting.

When he heard who was impeaching him, the worry that had just arisen immediately disappeared.

Censor Ding from the Censorate is a well-known official fanatic. He pops up from time to time, trying to make his presence felt again.

Pang Shaoqing did not take the other person seriously, but he did not know that Censor Ding was ready to take action and draft a second memorial at home, which he must submit before retiring.

His Majesty the Emperor looked through the files on the imperial desk and frowned in displeasure.

Now everything is ready except for the east wind, but that east wind is nowhere to be found.

The Shaoqing of Yuanma Temple is just a breakthrough point, and the network of interests behind him is the real target to be attacked.

As the saying goes, fatten them up before killing them, and catch them when they are greedy.

Thinking of Han Zeyu's IOU, the hungry army, the bills of the six ministers, and the budget list for the year-end palace banquet...

His Majesty the Emperor sighed leisurely. It was almost the end of the year, and there was no surplus grain in the inner treasury and the national treasury!

Eunuch Wang reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Minister of Revenue requests an audience."

The Emperor flicked his sleeves and decisively dismissed the person: "No!"

The Minister of Revenue, who was refused entry, stroked his beard, walked away leisurely with a square step.

If he doesn't want to see you, then he doesn't. The monk can run away, but the temple cannot. One day he will get the money back.

Ma Zheng, it was definitely a lucrative position, much better than his position as a poor minister.

?Horses play a very important role in transportation, military, economy and other aspects.

Owning a carriage was a direct reflection of one's social status.

The delivery of documents and the allocation of military resources all require a large number of horses and carriages.

However, there are detailed records and strict management systems for the call-up, recruitment, transfer out, and loss of horses.

The small number and high maintenance costs have directly led to the high price of horses.

As we all know, the price of horses is the highest among all domestic animals, especially rare breeds of horses, which are often sold at sky-high prices.

In addition to the three major horse-raising authorities: the Imperial Stables, the Imperial Horse Court, and the Imperial Horse Administration, there were also many ranches among the people that raised horses.

In order to solve the problem of horse shortage, the imperial court had corresponding incentive measures to encourage people to raise horses.

Relaxing policies means that some people will take advantage of loopholes and corruption will breed.

However, the emperor did not expect that the three independent government offices could collude with each other to form such a huge industrial chain.

The duties of the Taipu Temple were to deploy, supervise and use horses.

The responsibility of Yuanma Temple is to raise and manage horses and ensure their health and quantity.

In terms of finance, the Imperial Stables was the richest of the three institutions.

Relying on the management and operation of grasslands, the Imperial Stables have a considerable income.

But greed is insatiable, and the shadow of the Imperial Stables was also seen in the horse administration corruption case.

The Emperor went to visit the Empress Dowager again. There was no other way, as the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Stables was also an old man who had left the Empress Dowager's palace.

The only thing to be thankful for is that he was not involved in it, but he will definitely not be able to escape the charges of failing to manage his subordinates and neglecting his duties.

This time, the Empress Dowager held on firmly and did not go to Dingyun Temple to meditate.

She couldn't let her son take the lead when there was a little storm, so she went out to have some quiet time.

After this incident, she will definitely rectify the atmosphere and ensure that those who should return home can return home and those who should be well-fed can be well-fed.

Stop crying about how you can't bear to leave your master and want to devote yourself to her. You are treating her as a golden ticket to avoid death.

When people get older, they tend to care about old relationships, but when they care too much, they become indecisive.

"If you hesitate to make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. Your Majesty, please proceed without worrying about anything else."

His Majesty the Emperor sighed. Reducing the power of the inner court is a long and arduous task...

Speaking of Xiao Hei's shiny black skin, it is as smooth as silk.

Wearing four glittering golden anklets, she attracted countless people to stop and watch.

The layman watches the excitement, while the expert watches the details.

People who don’t know much about it think that black horses are a precious breed raised by some royal noble family.

Those who know the business can see at a glance that the dark horse comes from the grassroots.

This black horse is beautiful, but it is just a vase among horses, good looking but useless.

The fastest horse is the yellow horse.

The Dayuan horse has the largest carrying capacity.

When it comes to skill and obedience, the Ili horse is the best choice.

This dark horse only has good looks, and his qualifications are really average, just above average.

Who has so much money that he has no idea where to spend it, or did this dark horse save his life?

You can wear a gold chain worth about three thousand taels whenever you want without worrying about anyone stealing your horse.

People laugh at me for being too crazy, and I laugh at others for not seeing through it.

Who said the gold chain was worth three thousand taels? It was clearly made from four thousand taels.

Han Zeyu brainwashed him crazily at home, and Su Shien kept giving him warnings for a long time.

If Su Shien hadn't been worried about being late for the yamen, he would have said a few more words.

Xiao Hei impatiently sent away the mistress of the bad dog owner and kicked his feet excitedly on the spot.

Next is the time for the King of Horses to inspect his territory. The first thing he does is to see if his old rival is still there?

Unfortunately, Xiao Hei was destined to return disappointed. The old rival's base was empty, without even a ghost.
