Li Jie stayed in the imperial tomb for one night and chatted with Tang He for the middle of the night. If the other party was not too old and in poor spirits, they would probably have chatted all night.

Through his conversation with Tang He, Li Jie also gained a lot. When he left the next day, Tang He also handed over the imperial guards to Li Jie. Although Tang He has become a monk now, the military power of the imperial guards is still in his hands. After all, such a powerful army must be in the hands of a trustworthy person.

When Li Jie came to the imperial tomb, he only brought dozens of guards around him. When he left, he took away three thousand imperial tomb guards. The three thousand people seemed to be not many, but they were the elite selected from the imperial guards.

In contrast, although Nanjing is nominally the capital of the Ming Dynasty, almost all the elite imperial guards have been transferred away. In addition, there is no military threat here, so the troops stationed are very limited. To put it bluntly, if Li Jie is willing, he can even use the three thousand people in his hands to break through Nanjing.

The three thousand troops rushed to the city of Nanjing, which scared the defenders at the city gate almost ordered the city gate to close. Fortunately, Li Jie reported his identity in time, which made the defenders relieved. Then Li Jie led the army into the city.

Originally, if the emperor did not have the emperor's will, it would almost be like a rebellion. Even if Li Jie was the imperial envoy to investigate the case, Li Jie received Zhu Yun's promise before coming to Nanjing this time that he could do things cheaply. Even leading his army into the city was already under Li Jie's plan.

The three thousand imperial guards suddenly entered Nanjing, which also scared the people in the city. After all, although there were garrisons in Nanjing, except for the guards of each city gate, almost all other troops were stationed in their respective camps. They were usually prohibited from going out, let alone the army entered the city, which also caused panic among many people.

However, the Imperial Mausoleum Guard did not commit any crimes, but rushed to the six ministries and five temples in Nanjing, and then controlled all the officials and no one was allowed to escape.

Huang Hua, who had been staying in Nanjing, also found Li Jie at this time, and immediately stepped forward and bowed: "The prince-in-law, his subordinates have searched the Censorate, the Ministry of Revenue and other yamen, and all the clues found are here."

Huang Hua said and waved his hand, and immediately someone presented the evidence and clues he found, including letters and account books he found in Wu Bo's office in the Censorate, as well as interrogation and confession to some people.

"It's done well, let's go to the Ministry of Revenue!" Li Jie smiled at Huang Hua, and then walked towards the Ministry of Revenue. No matter how many people this case involves, the Ministry of Revenue, who is in charge of Taicang, must have an inseparable relationship.

"Mr. Concubine, you sent a large army to various yamen and did not allow any officials to leave. Is this... Is this a big impact?" Huang Hua hurriedly followed and asked Li Jie hesitantly while walking.

It would be fine if Li Jie led a large army into the city. Now he ordered the army to enter various yamen and control the officials inside. This is a huge matter. If any officials use this as an excuse to write an impeachment in a day, Li Jie may not be able to bear it.

"It's okay, this case is of great importance. There are probably many people in the various yamen in Nanjing. In order to prevent them from escaping, this kind of bad strategy can only be used!" Li Jie said with a cold expression.

Tang He's analysis yesterday and Li Jie's own judgment made him very sure that such a big case was not committed by one or two people in a short period of time, but a group of people who kept stealing Taicang's grain for many years, which led to such a large vacancy. If the case had not been found out, they might have continued to do it.

Hearing Li Jie say this, Huang Hua did not persuade him anymore. Anyway, he had received the order from Zhu Yunxi before coming, asking him to fully cooperate with Li Jie in investigating the case. Although the current situation of investigating the case is indeed a bit loud, as Li Jie's identity, Your Majesty should not blame him.

Li Jie and Huang Hua soon came to the Ministry of Revenue, but before they entered the door, they saw a tall and thin middle-aged official standing outside the door. When they saw Li Jie, they immediately stepped forward and saluted, "Secretary Wang Ming greeted the prince-consort!"

"Don't be polite to the Censor of the Capital. It's thanks to your credit for finding the case this time!" Li Jie immediately smiled when he saw this middle-aged official. He knew this middle-aged man. The other party was the deputy Censor of the Capital sent by Zhu Yunyu to inspect. The stolen grain case of Taicang was also found by him. After the incident, he did not leave, in order to wait for Li Jie and assist him in investigating the case together.

"You are polite to the prince. This is the responsibility of the subordinates!" Wang Ming also replied very politely. He has been living in the inn in the city for a while. Today he received news of Li Jie's arrival, so he arrived here to wait.

"Let's go, let's go to the Ministry of Revenue to visit several senior officials of the Ministry of Revenue. I want to see who they have the courage!" When Li Jie said the last, his face also had a bit of murderous intent. Xu Zhou, the minister who committed suicide, was just a scapegoat, and it may even have nothing to do with this case. Therefore, among the remaining senior officials of the Ministry of Revenue, someone must have participated in this case.

Huang Hua and Wang Ming immediately followed Li Jie to the Ministry of Revenue. The Imperial Mausoleum had already surrounded the entire Ministry of Revenue and the officials inside were all panicked. After all, no one expected that the Ministry of Revenue would be surrounded by a group of officers and soldiers.

However, just as Li Jie entered the Ministry of Revenue, he saw an old man with white hair and hair coming over angrily, pointing to him and shouting: "Li Jie, what are you going to do? He actually sent troops to surround the Ministry of Revenue. Are you going to rebel?"

The person who came was Du Zheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He was once the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Later, when he moved the capital, he stayed in Nanjing because he was too old and was promoted to the Minister of Revenue. Although Li Jie was not familiar with him, he still knew him. He just learned that Li Jie sent troops to surround the Ministry of Revenue, and was furious.

"Du Shangshu calmed down. I sent troops to siege the Ministry of Revenue, naturally to investigate the case. Mr. Xu's death was unknown before, and your Ministry of Revenue was involved in another shocking case. You must investigate the suicide to the end!" Li Jie replied indifferently.

"If you investigate the case, you will investigate the case. Why should we send troops to siege our Ministry of Revenue? Do you suspect that the people in our Ministry of Revenue are related to the case?" Du Zheng asked again angrily.

"I not only sent troops to surround your Ministry of Revenue, but the other five departments are all under the control of the Imperial Mausoleum Guard. There are also important yamen in Nanjing. Such a big case is not only one of you, the Ministry of Revenue, involved in the case. I am afraid that all other yamen will also have people involved in the case. In order to prevent these people from rushing to jump over the wall, I have to make this decision!" Li Jie retorted with a righteous expression.

Nanjing was no longer the same as Nanjing back then. After moving the capital, the power structure here completely changed. Even Zhu Yunwen wanted to escape here and split the Ming Dynasty, so Li Jie did not dare to be careless.
