The markets of the Wei Empire generally had special areas in the city, with small county towns generally having only one city, larger cities having two cities, and large national cities having four cities.

There are four cities in Chang'an City, and the commercial trade is very prosperous, and Guo Peng is even thinking about the opportunity to lift the curfew to implement the night market, enrich the people's spare time, and also increase income by the way.

However, in this wave, there were criminals in the four cities of Chang'an City.

When the investigation team investigated the vendors, it was also discovered that the prices set by the vendors for their goods in the course of their business exceeded the amount prescribed by the law.

When I asked the surrounding people, there were many people who complained about it, saying that they had informed the mayor of the matter, but nothing had changed, and the price had even risen.

The mayor, who is responsible for stabilizing prices and prohibiting malicious price increases, did not react to the report and did not stop the illegal actions of these merchants in time.

Under further investigation, the investigation team found that the mayors of four cities in Chang'an City had accepted bribes.

So the four mayors were dismissed on the spot, and thrown into prison to await the trial of the three divisions.

According to Guo Peng's current anger, there is a high probability that it will be a death penalty, and his family will be implicated.

Other officials in the market were also investigated, and the officials in the market were almost swept away by censorship based on whether they knew or not.

The families of these people are also being implicated.

The Chang'an county magistrate was held accountable for this and fined for half a year, and the official in charge of the matter in the county government was removed from his post and questioned.

Chang'an County Ling trembled, worried that the fire would burn on him, and quickly ordered the county government to organize a special working group to comprehensively investigate the merchants in Chang'an City who did not customize the price of goods according to the amount stipulated in the law.

After the Yongzhou investigation team arrived, the matter was fully taken over by the investigation team.

The four markets in Chang'an were soon taken over by county government officials, and a very comprehensive inventory was launched, and after a check, it was found that 26 merchants had such measures, implicating more than 70 shops.

Didn't say it, raid the house, ask for the guilt, go to prison, and provide one-stop service.

Some people are very arrogant, reporting who is behind them, a certain county guard, a certain county order, a certain state official, and even a certain central official.

But the investigation team will not care, and the investigation team will only be extremely happy.

Because they have political achievements to reap.

I'm not afraid that you have a backstage, but I'm afraid that you don't have a backstage.

In this environment, reporting your background is simply saving a lot of trouble for the officials of the investigation team, and directly tracing the source.

Too high an official position?

Too high a social status?

Are political relations too complicated?

It doesn't matter, all report to the three divisions, and the three divisions will naturally sort it out and summarize it in front of the emperor, how to deal with it is the emperor's decision, not their decision, they just need to find out the problem, record the problem, and make sure that there is no omission.

The rest is the matter of the three divisions of Luoyang and the emperor himself, which the emperor said before they set off.

Don't be afraid, it's not for you to deal with anyone directly, if you encounter something that you find tricky and dare not start, just tell me and I'll clean them up.

The problem of corruption is always a sharp knife in the hands of the emperor, no matter when, as long as the emperor wants to do something, he can talk about corruption, whether it is killing officials or giant businessmen, he will make sure that he will not lose money.

Of course, this kind of thing is best for the emperor to do, if any little brother can't help it and wants to be in the limelight, then think about it, being a cool official may not end well.

Don't be a cool official, just be a microphone, then it's fine.

The more they check and the more they deal with in the end, the greater their merit and the greater the chance of promotion.

So what county order, what county guard, what state assassin Shi around the red people, what county order's brother-in-law, county guard's servant, etc., were all found out and investigated.

The problems were directly uprooted and traced back to the source, and the problems were clearly examined and sent to the Luoyang Third Division.

In the context of the restriction of the power of officials in this place, those states and counties have administrative power and status, but in the face of this kind of thing, it is quite powerless.

can only hope that such a thing will not implicate them, and they don't dare to think about saving people or interceding at all.

After Chen Gong heard about the situation on Mao Jue's side, he very wisely said that he couldn't get sick.

Anyway, he can be sure that his hands are very clean, and the family members in Luoyang are also quite clean, and the clansmen are strictly bound to the land by him, manage the land, do not engage in business, and are not allowed to eat anyone's and take whom's.

Under his strict control, he himself has no problem, then he will definitely not lose his status, and he will be punished for a few months at most.

He knew very well that under the current system of the Wei Empire, when he encountered the problem of official corruption, as long as he ensured that he was clean, there was a high probability that there would be no problems.

As for what the officials around him are hiding from him or something, as long as there is something wrong with those people he didn't summon on his own, he can even sit back and relax.

The problem lies in the Central Officials' Department, in the Ministry of Finance, and in the Criminal Department, not in him.

Only a small part of the power to appoint and dismiss officials is in his hands, and most of the appointment and dismissal of officials are decided by the central officials, and the judicial power and financial power have nothing to do with him at all.

If this is the case, the state assassin history will be held accountable, and the state assassin history will be too wronged.

The reason why Mao Jue was fined was that someone around him didn't pay attention to his hand and hid it from him, he found out as soon as possible, and then gave the results to the investigation team, basically ensuring that he had no problems.

As for the others, whether they live or die has nothing to do with him.

Chen Gong's side is lucky, and the officials recruited by Chen Gong himself have not committed any crimes, so Chen Gong can basically get out of the way, but there are some problems with the Yongzhou Facao system and financial system, and many offenders have been found out.

If this is investigated, I don't know how many people will fall to the ground.

At the end of December, not long before the New Year, the corruption case in Liangzhou was the first to be announced.

One hundred and twenty-six officials fell to the ground, and more than 20 people in Liangzhou's legal and financial systems were beheaded.

The officials who committed the crime were killed, beheaded, their families were arrested and exiled, their property confiscated, and there was a very special punishment.

After their family members who are still alive were exiled, they could only eat bibimbap for the rest of their lives, and they were not allowed to eat anything else, so they ate bibimbap like this, and they had to work very hard to farm the fields, and they ate like this until they died.

When Chen Gong heard this, he sighed and shook his head.

I feel that the bigger the magistrate does, the more boring it becomes.

Because of the lack of power and the restriction of power, a high-ranking official like him has a very limited deterrent effect on local officials, and it is difficult for him to control the situation if something really happens.

Yongzhou Facao spoke louder than he said.

However, people like Mao Jue and Chen Gong joined the Guo Wei group relatively early, and they generally have a deep relationship with the senior officials in power in the central government.

Under the system of the Guo Wei Empire, all officials who have connections in the central government are louder than others in the local area.

That is to say, although the power of these local high-ranking officials is limited, they have a good relationship with the people who really hold the power, and they have a backstage, so these local bureaucrats do not dare to really deal with them, so as not to be targeted by the forces behind them and threaten their future careers.

Everyone cooperates with each other, hello, hello, everyone.

But if it doesn't matter in the central government, it's not easy to talk.

For example, Xian Yufu has nothing to do with the central government, and he is not very calm in Youzhou, although he has been doing Youzhou Thorn History for almost ten years, but he doesn't speak loudly at all, and he doesn't dare to let it out loud.

This is a more awkward situation.

Chen Gong has no such worries, his relationship with the central government should not be too deep, and the relationship between him and Cao Cao is well-known.

Who is Cao Cao?

Everyone knows it, so there is no need to say more.

Therefore, Chen Gong knows very well that as long as he cooperates honestly, there will be no problem, and it will not hinder him if the officials who hold power below are killed.

It was the first time he had discovered that it was a good thing that power was so tightly restricted.

But the more this happens, the more he yearns for the center.

Local power is first of all, it is not interesting to stay in the locality, it is good to go to the central government, and only by going to the central government can you really grasp the power, and grasp the power under the nose of the emperor.

Originally, Chen Gong was also by Guo Peng's side to advise him on the military, if it weren't for the temporary lack of a Yongzhou assassin history and he was driven to the shelf, he would not have stayed in Yongzhou to do the assassin history to this day.

Originally, the power of the Yongzhou Assassin was quite large, but after Guo Peng ascended the throne and became the emperor, the power of the Assassin began to be tightened on a large scale, and the central power began to expand on a large scale.

This has led to a situation in which local officials now have to go to the central government with their heads squeezed.

This large-scale investigation of corruption is not necessarily a bad thing in Chen Gong's eyes, at least if he can perform better, maybe he can ask Cao Cao to help operate it and see if he can be transferred to the central government.

Since Guo Peng became emperor, Chen Gong has never given up his plan to enter the central government.

Some time ago, the wind was tight, and the old ministers from Qingyan Erzhou were hit hard, and Chen Gong also temporarily died down.

But at present, this wave of anti-corruption actions may be another opportunity, if we can seize it, from the local government to the central real power department, how cool would it be?

Therefore, when the investigation team investigated the case, Chen Gong directly retreated and closed the door, and the investigation team did what they liked, how they liked to investigate, whether they arrested people or killed people, he cooperated with everything.

I hope that His Majesty the Emperor can see him, see him so loyal, and then do well, transfer him to the central government, and stop staying in Yongzhou, facing endless troubles in the face of things that can never be done.

In other words, how did this wave of anti-corruption actions come about?

His Majesty the Emperor wouldn't just engage in a wave of anti-corruption actions for no reason, right?

With so many heads on the ground, it doesn't look like it's just a casual game.

There must be some big move in the imperial court.

Chen Gong thinks so.
