"Who is this?"

Looking at the "upright" middle-aged man in front of him, Wang Bing couldn't help but frown.

"Master Hou, this person is Ye Maocai, the chief minister of Dali Temple in Nanjing..."

Upon hearing Wang Bing's inquiry, the 'Guardian Zuo' on the side, the eunuch Yang Rong of the East Factory, opened his mouth to introduce Wang Bing.

Ye Maocai was born in Wuxi. He was born in the 37th year of Jiajing. He was a Jinshi in the 17th year of Wanli. He was initially appointed as the head of the Ministry of Punishment, and soon became the head of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry. Later he was promoted to the post of Cheng of Dali Temple in Nanjing.

In the original historical time and space, Professor Ye Mao had resigned due to physical reasons and joined Donglin Academy. After the restoration of Wanli in the 40th year, he was dissatisfied with the rejection of the Donglin Party by the Donglin Party and abandoned his official position to give lectures.

At Donglin Academy. Together with Gu Xiancheng, Gu Yuncheng, Gao Panlong, An Xifan, Liu Yuanzhen, Qian Yiben, and Xue Fujiao, he was known as the "Eight Gentlemen of Donglin".

But in this historical time and space, I don't know if it is because of Wang Bing, the "shit stirrup", but this guy has not yet joined Donglin Academy, and is still performing his duties as the Prime Minister of Dali Temple in Nanjing.

Therefore, when Yang Rong 'collected' Donglin Academy, this guy also missed the opportunity. Unsurprisingly, it will be difficult for him to become one of the so-called 'Eight Gentlemen of Donglin' ​​like he did in the original history.

'Damn it, who likes to slap people so much? It turns out he is another Donglin guy!'

Knowing that the person in front of him was one of the so-called "Eight Gentlemen of Donglin" in original history, Wang Bing couldn't help but curl his lips in his heart.

"Tsk tsk, look, this is indeed a literati with a Jinshi background, and he is very skilled in the way of putting big names on others. But doesn't the term 'intentional evil intentions' seem a bit cover-up? Why don't you just say directly that I want to rebel?

better?"

Looking at the "upright" short fat man in front of him, Wang Bing, who was not angry but smiling, couldn't help but look at him with a joking expression.

"Also, how about I add some more materials to you? I still have tens of thousands of troops stationed overseas. Can you also charge me with the crime of 'supporting troops with self-respect' and 'separating overseas territories'? Haha.

Ha ha!"

In the end, Wang Bing was even more "arrogant and domineering" and sent several more powerful "evidences" to Ye Maocai.

"Master Hou is worthy of the title of 'champion'. He is so arrogant and domineering that he is the best among all the troops! He colluded with the factory guards to do such a heinous and unethical thing, and yet he could still deal with it so calmly. Do you really think that no one can do anything about it?"

Have you?"

Speaking of which, Ye Maocai is indeed one of the "Eight Gentlemen" in original history. When he saw his portion of the "big dish", although he was a little panicked in his heart, his face was very calm, and soon

In turn, Wang Bing was charged with colluding with factory guards and conspiring against others.

However, what he didn't expect was that Wang Bing didn't care at all when faced with this accusation that could avoid suspicion. Instead, he handed him more powerful 'evidence', which really made him feel guilty.

He was caught off guard.

"Okay, I'm giving you face, right? Is there anyone who can do anything to defeat me? There's no need for hypocrites like you to worry about it. It's better for you to reflect on your own crimes!"

Looking away from Ye Maocai, who was pretending to be calm, Wang Bing finally put away his joking smile before, and turned to point to the 'big dish' in front of them with his chin with a serious expression.

"Master Hou is aware that these unfounded charges were framed by factory guards. The common people and others are really unjustly accused!"

"The factory guards are violating the law and are against the rules of the past dynasties. How can the marquis use these false accusations to convict the officials and others? The officials and others are not convinced..."

Seeing that Wang Bing was determined to punish himself with these crimes, the group of people who had been quiet because of Ye Maocai's interference soon began to cry out for injustice again. Especially the officials from Jiangnan, big and small, who screamed so loudly that

Happy.

"Haha, you are violating the law and still have the rules of the past dynasties? What rules? No matter how big or small the affairs of the country are, it is the rule to let you so-called 'literati and gentry' make the decision?"

"You guys who are both bitches and building archways, if you didn't have the supervision of the factory guards, you would have eaten all the holes in the Ming Dynasty..."

With a cold smile, Wang Bing immediately rushed and started to criticize these people.

"It's an insult to gentlemen! Champion, don't bully others too much!"

"The champion is so insulting to the literati, I want to write a letter to the court..."

When Wang Bing saw Wang Bing, he directly compared them, the literati and gentry, to whores. Those businessmen were okay, but a group of officials and gentry who were invited quit.

There is no way, not to mention these serving officials, even among the gentry, there are also a large number of retired officials.

Therefore, with the intention of not punishing everyone, these people yelled at Wang Bing one after another, hoping to disrupt this 'banquet'.

"What's wrong with bullying you? Do you represent all the literati? If all the literati in Ming Dynasty behave like you, then it's better not to forget it. Come on, continue to 'serve'!"

Seeing the performance of this group of people, Wang Bing's face turned cold, but then he waved his hand and ordered the factory guards to continue to 'serve' the food again.

What a joke, in his opinion, the entire civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, except for Yu Qian and Zhang Juzheng since Tumubao, were just people who relied on each other's reputation. How could he take it seriously?

Soon, amidst the shouts of these officials, gentry and merchants, the Jinyiwei and Dongchang fans once again brought the second 'big dish' to the table, each with a copy of the "Da Ming Royal Daily".

"Since you say that you are unjustly accused and that I colluded with Dongchang and Jinyiwei to frame you, then well, the eyes of the people are sharp, so how about letting the people defend you?"

After the second 'big dish' was served, Wang Bing immediately introduced the 'dishes' to these people.

"I have published all the charges of 'framing' you in this newspaper and circulated it all over the world. Let's see, will the people applaud you or complain about you?"

It turned out that the second course of Wang Bing's banquet was a newspaper that published a list of crimes committed by these Jiangnan officials, gentry and merchants.

With Yang Rong, the person in charge of the Royal Daily, it is a simple matter for the Jiangnan branch to typeset and copy hundreds of newspapers in advance.

In this newspaper, not only the names of the crimes committed by these officials, gentry and merchants were published, but Wang Bing also specifically stated that if any common people felt that these people had been wronged, they could boldly defend them. Of course, if there are

Omitted crimes can also be exposed.

"You champion, you..."

Seeing the bill-like list of charges in the newspaper in front of them, all the officials and gentry couldn't help but numb their paws.

Just kidding, let’s not mention that the charges above are facts. Even if they did not commit any crime, their reputation will be ruined by such publicity in a newspaper that is distributed all over the world. How can anyone complain about their injustice?

As for the merchants, originally they didn't care much about their reputation. But after all, they were the property of these officials and gentry, or they were dependent on each other. If the big tree fell down, they would also end up with it.

Therefore, they were more frightened than the officials and gentry.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you that this newspaper is just a general outline. I have decided that after this general outline, every day's newspapers will print out the details of the crimes that 'unjustly' accused you one by one.

The world is like the old days when Grand Master Zhang banned and destroyed private academies..."

Finally, just when these people had numbed their claws, Wang Bing added fire to them again.
