Zhuge Liang really didn't know about this matter, and the Liangzhou Governor already knew about it and began to investigate.

He also thought that only he knew about this matter, and was planning to investigate this matter and report it to Luoyang.

As a result, Mao Jue suddenly said that he already knew.

"Envoy ...... Already know? ”

"Of course I know, those bastards are messing around down there, bullying the road builders, do you really think they can hide it from my eyes? I...... Kong Ming, you said you already knew...... What is the meaning? Do you know that? ”

Mao Jue looked at Zhuge Liang with a surprised expression.

Zhuge Liang immediately became serious and nodded again and again.

"Yes, Envoy-kun, I also know about this matter, and I have been investigating for a long time, and I have found out a lot of things that actually happened, but I don't know that Envoy-kun is also investigating......"

So Zhuge Liang slowly told Mao Jie all the things he had investigated out out of his trust and good impression of Mao Jue, from the beginning of the farmer's careful request to the final investigation, and some of the news he has now.

“…… Therefore, the lower officials have not yet found out that there are people in the state capital who collude with lower-level officials, but there must be such corrupt officials in the county government, who use the cheap power in their hands to collude with their relatives and friends, resell the court materials, and harm the road builders, which is very hateful! ”

Zhuge Liang gritted his teeth with hatred for such things.

Mao Jue took a deep breath and nodded slowly, his face full of solemnity.

The time difference of more than ten days was well used by him and Zhao Xian, and a lot of eyebrows were investigated.

However, he investigated from top to bottom, and some things were not so detailed, while Zhuge Liang investigated from the bottom up and found out a lot of things that he and Zhao Xian had not found out yet, which was just enough to fill some vacancies.

As soon as he thought of this, Mao Jue felt that his luck was too good.

And the timing of Sima Yi's coming over to deliver the news was really good.

If he hadn't grasped such a good opportunity, he might have really missed this opportunity and could not extricate himself from the political whirlpool.

And now, through his own operation, he has successfully grasped the initiative and grasped the situation.

Steady!

stabilized Zhuge Liang, got Zhuge Liang's trust, spread out this matter, and asked him not to stab this matter to the Luoyang Third Division without his knowledge, then this matter is full of feasibility.

Mao Jue felt that his operation was too perfect.

So he immediately asked Zhuge Liang to go back to Dunhuang County, and then asked his cronies and subordinates to go to Dunhuang County to bring the evidence collected by Zhuge Liang as his own evidence and hand it over to Zhao Xian to deal with, and strive to find out this group of bastards in one go.

Kill what should be killed, depreciate what should be degraded, and uproot what should be uprooted.

All in all, it is necessary to limit this matter to the scope of Liangzhou, and to solve it within the scope of Liangzhou, and it cannot involve Yongzhou, let alone Luoyang.

Be proactive, be fast!

Mao Jue already felt that his luck was very good, but an incident that happened afterwards made Mao Jue feel that he was not just lucky, it was an explosion of luck.

On the fourth day of the fourth month of November in the fourth year of Yande, the joint investigation team of the three divisions from Luoyang suddenly arrived in Liangzhou and stationed in Guzang County.

This sudden investigation team told Mao Jue and Zhao Xian a shocking news.

There are more than a dozen investigation teams like them, and they go to every state of the Wei Empire, and then go down to every county and county to investigate whether the local officials have any illegal acts, and then deal with them on the spot, investigate to the end, and never tolerate them.

The Joint Investigation Unit of the three Divisions, including the accountants of the audit department, has the power to review and deal with any and all crimes committed by any and all officials and to make any decision on punishment.

As long as it is found out, convicted, and then reported to the central government for filing, and when the emperor's order comes down, it can be officially started.

I don't know how many people will die or how many heads will be lost.

The main members of this investigation team are from Jingzhou, and the leader is a member of the Criminal Department, a very young man in his twenties, named Chen Zhen, who is from Nanyang County, Jingzhou.

He did not surrender with Liu Cong, but later entered the official career by showing filial piety and serving in the Criminal Department.

In addition to the people from Jingzhou, there are also a few Yangzhou people in the team, all in all, there are almost no officials from these two states in Liangzhou, and naturally there is nothing to talk about.

Without saying a word, let's get to work immediately.

Mao Jue cautiously inquired about the news, and learned from Chen Zhen that this matter was a sudden attack for the assassin history of any state, and it seemed to be a whim for Guo Peng.

The whole preparation process took less than half a month, and everyone set off in a team.

The emperor gave the order as if on a whim, and then asked everyone to quickly form a team and set off, advancing at high speed without rest.

In such a short period of time, even if someone wants to leak secrets, they can't spread the news, especially in a place as far away as Liangzhou.

It was a completely sudden attack, that is, it did not give these people any time and opportunity to react, it was to catch them by surprise and obtain greater results.

I don't know if this is the case in other states, but of course it is in Liangzhou anyway.

That's why Mao Jue was scared out of a cold sweat, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Sima Zhongda, you are really my benefactor!

Mao Jue sighed.

If it weren't for Sima Yi's advance notification and let him choose to reconcile with Zhuge Liang, the situation would have been dangerous.

He fooled Zhuge Liang to give up the initiative to report and cooperate with him, and he and Zhao Xian led the anti-corruption storm, and now the case is ongoing, and he has the initiative.

If he didn't know about this matter, which led Zhuge Liang to cooperate with the central investigation team to find out about this matter, it would be called dangerous.

The Central Investigation Team did not greet anyone in this surprise attack.

Mao Jue was still worried that Zhuge Liang would go to Luoyang, but he didn't expect that this time it was Luoyang who took the initiative to move closer to Liangzhou and attacked Liangzhou!

It's dangerous.

After sighing like this, Mao Jue and Zhao Xian took the initiative to hand over the road construction grain corruption case that was being investigated to Chen Zhen's central investigation team.

A pretty cooperative look.

Chen Zhen took over such a big case when he first arrived, and he immediately became excited, and immediately took the central investigation team to fully accept the investigation of this case.

Zhao Xian, including the entire state law Cao, was asked by Chen Zhen to obey the central command and investigate the case together.

And then the case exploded completely.

On the fifth day of November, the investigation of this case began, and after almost five days of rectification, Chen Zhen sent people to 29 counties in the four counties of Hexi to arrest the first batch of 41 important suspects.

Those directly responsible for the road construction sites that caused the food shortage were arrested one after another and then interrogated strictly.

The people of the central investigation team led the security forces of the prefecture and county to go straight to the local area to take the people, and without any explanation, they were taken away after being arrested, and the interrogation began when they were brought back.

Their interrogation methods are distinctive.

According to the grapevine within the three divisions, these methods have been suggested and approved by His Majesty the Emperor, and there are special names.

【Teppanyaki barbecue】

【Salt and pepper steak】

【Salted meat】

【Stir-fried shredded pork with rattan】

【Tiger Chair】

【Ten Fingers Connected to the Heart】

【Piercing Heart】

【Boneless Phoenix Claw】

These seemingly ordinary names even resemble the names of a dish, each of which represents a torture.

When the torture is needed, it means that the official cannot get out of the way.
