After Xu Jie arrived at the Shuntian Prefecture Office, he asked Zhang Hao if he could just talk. Zhang Hao was stunned for a moment, but he still invited Xu Jie to the next room. A Jinyiwei brought tea. Zhang Hao invited Xu Jie to have tea, and then the Jinyiwei went out.

"I'd better call you Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao. You can't search like this yesterday. This will offend many people. I know that you have a passion and hope to save the people, but you can ask them to take out the money and not investigate them like this!" Xu Jie sat there, looking at Zhang Hao and said.

"Don't you check them?" Zhang Hao heard this and looked at Xu Jie with dissatisfaction.

"I know you are very angry and know that your reasons are reasonable, but those civil officials are all intertwined. If you check this, it will affect others and they will hold a grudge against you. Now you also know that those officials found out that so much money was found at home. How did this money come from? You also know that they all came from corruption. Hey, you do this, I wonder how many people hate you!" Xu Jie sighed to Zhang Hao.

"Gemaster Xu, I just want to ask, you answer me truthfully, first, should I check those people? Second, if the cabinet knows that these people are corrupt, will they check?" Zhang Hao immediately stared at Xu Jie and asked.

"Well, if it is the cabinet that answers you, it should be checked. If it is the cabinet that answers you, it should not be checked!" Xu Jie said to Zhang Hao.

"Huh, then, do you want to check it yourself?" Zhang Hao heard it, exhaled, suppressed his anger, and asked at Xu Jie.

"If it were ten years ago, I would have investigated it, but now I dare not investigate it!" Xu Jie looked at Zhang Hao and said.

"I understand. You all cherish your official hats and you are afraid of death. That's why the Ming Dynasty did this. So the people outside are selling their children and women, so those officials are so rich!" Zhang Hao nodded and said.

"Zhang Hao, don't be so cynical, this is the reality!" Xu Jie looked at Zhang Hao and said.

"This is the reality? When Taizu was the first time, who dared to be corrupt, why did he dare to be corrupt now? It is not normal to not be corrupt. Let's talk about Qin Liangyi? He has been a county magistrate for twenty years, and his family is poor and has not even mentioned it.

Yuan Qiwang was rich and gave gifts to Lu Ben and passed the Jinshi exam. In fifteen years, he arrived at the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. Yuan Qiwang's ability is as strong as Qin Liangyi. What kind of principle is this? If the cabinet also thinks this way, then how can all officials in the world not be greedy? The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.

Master Xu, you have just entered the cabinet. You think so. If the people in the world know about it, how disappointed would you have to be?" Zhang Hao looked at Xu Jie and said angrily.

"Zhang Hao, let's not argue about these things. I came here today just to tell you that it is OK to investigate, but don't investigate and deal with so many at once, as something will happen!" Xu Jie saw Zhang Hao so angry, and immediately comforted Zhang Hao and said.

"What happened is nothing more than killing my life? Do I ignore the lives of so many people outside? So many people, I will be the only one who lives?" Zhang Hao looked at Xu Jie and asked.

"You, your child, why don't you know at least? I'm doing it for your own good. Do you think those people are so easy to provoke?" Xu Jie was a little angry when he heard Wei Hao quarrel at him like this. He was doing it for him.

"Okay, Master Xu, I ask you, what is your purpose of being this Master? It is to be promoted and then become the prime minister of the cabinet. What's next? The Ming Dynasty is still like this. If anyone should be corrupt, should no one care or no one cares about it? Then what's the use of being this prime minister? Besides, it's just to put a pig on it. He is the same. Since you are already a minister of the cabinet, you can't think of the people?" Zhang Hao still looked at Xu Xujie angrily and said.

"You, I want you to slowly and slowly, not so fierce!" Xu Jie said to Zhang Hao.

"Okay, according to what you said, slowly, have you planned it? I'll ask you, you have been an official for so many years, have you investigated several corrupt officials, and have you impeached several ministers? You are afraid of offending them. In order not to offend them, you are so great and have you wronged yourself?" Zhang Hao looked at Xu Jie and continued to question.

"You!" Xu Jie was so arrogant that Zhang Hao couldn't speak.

"Gemaster Xu, you are not arguing. You advise me, I thank you, but I also advise you that since you have become a minister of the cabinet, I hope you can do something good for the people. Not to mention leaving a name in history, but at least, you must be worthy of your conscience.

Of course, I also know that you, Mr. Xu, are still upright, and Mr. Xu, still have a conscience, but you, but you do not have the determination to fight against those corrupt officials. So, I don’t blame you, but I also hope that you don’t blame me. If I offend you in the future, please forgive me!" Zhang Hao stood up and bowed to Xu Jie.

"Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao, you will regret it sooner or later!" Xu Jie also stood up and said to Zhang Hao.

"It's okay, let's talk about it when I regret it. Now, I'm worried that my hammer will not be fast. There will be so many hammers. By the way, I know you have a store. When you go back, tell your shopkeeper that it's best not to raise the price of those supplies!" Zhang Hao stood there and said to Xu Jie.

"I don't have a shop, and I can't even take care of the shop affairs!" Xu Jie said angrily.

"Anyway, I've told you!" Zhang Hao didn't care whether he admitted it or not. He had already said it, and it was his own business whether he listened or not!

"Goodbye!" Xu Jie left angrily after saying that. He felt that this Zhang Manzi was really unreasonable. He kindly came to persuade him, but he still held on to him like this. Since he wanted to seek death, he couldn't control so much.

At the same time, Xu Jie also thought about whether he could withdraw from this marriage. In the future, Zhang Hao would definitely implicate himself and cheat his daughter. However, he thought that he could not withdraw. This was the emperor issued an imperial edict, and this must be abide by it. It also needs to be passed on on the surface. If he disagrees, he will offend the British Duke's Mansion at that time. Xu Jie was also worried about this, and he did not want to offend anyone.

After Xu Jie left, Zhang Hao sat there and smiled bitterly. This was the cabinet official of the Ming Dynasty. Even Xu Jie dared not investigate those corrupt officials. Who would dare to investigate? A cabinet minister was almost at his peak and was afraid of those civil officials.

"I don't believe it. I won't kill you. If you are good people, I won't do it. Otherwise, the people of the Ming Dynasty will be over. I don't know how many people will die. Since you are greedy, don't blame me!" Zhang Hao sat there, gritting his teeth and thinking,

When Zhang Hao checked the fourteen county magistrates, he was not so angry. When Xu Jie came to find him today, he was really angry and he didn't care about the officials below. Who is still concerned about the people? No wonder more than 600,000 taels of disaster relief are required for money. The real use of the people is about 20,000 taels. If anyone is replaced, whoever doesn't exploit them, he will be a fool!

Zhang Hao sat there thinking about things. After almost an hour, Chen Lian came back and came back with a list.

"Sir, this is the shop we purchased. I went to ask, and it was to increase the price by 20%, which means that the price would increase by 30% tomorrow. If you like to buy it, the list is here. There are also those who know the background later. I have marked it for you. If you don't have it, I just don't know it yet!" Chen Lian handed the list to Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao looked at it out, okay, Lu Ben, Xu Jie, Yan Song's family, and those Shangshu and ministers also had them. Basically, they all have backgrounds for officials above the fourth rank. They used to open a workshop themselves, and they came to impeach themselves. Now, their family is going to do business, and they think it's okay!

"Sir, what should I do now?" Chen Lian asked Zhang Hao.

"You take 100,000 taels of silver to purchase, ask them to issue a list and unit price, and then get the evidence!" Zhang Hao said, and took out 100,000 taels of silver and handed it to Chen Lian.

"It's an adult!" Chen Lian took the money and went out immediately. Zhang Hao just sat there and thought, why is this happening? Can you kill so many corrupt officials?

"Yes, it's better to kill a group of people. How can you manage it for decades? It's too much!" Zhang Hao sat there and said generously to himself. He was so angry.

In the afternoon of that day, Chen Lian purchased 100,000 taels of supplies and food. When he came back, it was already dark.

"Sir, I've been purchasing, and there are still some in their warehouses. We can't transport so much. What should we do next?" Chen Lian looked at Zhang Hao excitedly and said, "He knew that Zhang Hao would definitely take action and deal with the unscrupulous merchants."

"Why are you going back to sleep? It's dark! Get up early tomorrow morning and get rid of them. Now it's time to go to bed. They can't run away anyway. Don't worry. Tomorrow, I will continue to buy 200,000 taels!" Zhang Hao said with a smile to Chen Lian.

"Ah?" Chen Lian looked at Zhang Hao in surprise when he heard Zhang Hao say this, and even bought so many more after raising the price.

"What, the people have no food or drink. Let's buy it first. Just get the money back then. Maybe you can make some money!" Zhang Hao glared at Chen Lian, and then started to walk to the palace. He had not eaten yet. He went to the palace for free. He originally had no salary as a Jinyiwei, so he had to pay for the money. He had to eat some of this food.

After Zhang Hao arrived at Yuxi Palace, he went to the cafeteria to have dinner.

When Zhang Hao bought the supplies at a high price, the officials also learned that they were a little happy at the moment. Thinking that Zhang Hao was quite sensible and didn't make a fuss, the money came too quickly. Zhang Hao needed it. He wanted to save the people, but it wouldn't work without supplies.
