One Thousand and Eighty-One Jizhou Corruption Case
This feeling of killing desperately even if you know you can't finish killing is really interesting.
This feeling of trying to change everything even though you know that nothing can be changed is very passionate.
Although Guo has done a lot of insidious things, Guo was once a passionate and brave man, and he also rushed to the front line to fight bloodily, risking his life.
He hasn't changed, he hasn't changed what he was then, how he still is, he hasn't changed himself.
No matter what, he won't change himself.
This is the goal that he has never changed when he vowed to be emperor.
Therefore, after the storage corruption case broke out in Jizhou, Guo Peng immediately instructed the Jizhou investigation team to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the corruption case.
Then Guo Peng strictly ordered Lang Kuailiang, the right attendant of the military department, to lead some officials to Jizhou to assist the Jizhou investigation team in handling the case and conduct an all-round investigation of the Jizhou problem.
The manpower sent by the investigation team to Jizhou is still a little less, and if you want to find out the big storage case, you need support, and Kuai Liang, as a native of Jingzhou, is more suitable to go to Jizhou to do business.
So at the request of Guo, Lang Kuailiang, the right attendant of the Ministry of War, personally led a part of the officials of the Ministry of War to Jizhou to assist in handling the case.
Before leaving, Kuai Liang also went to the palace to receive Guo Peng's [guidance].
For example, you have to be ruthless, don't care about anything else, something happens to me and something like that, anyway, Kuai Liang knows that Guo will definitely kill someone in Jizhou.
He wasn't worried about those things.
Under this general environment that inhibits the promotion of those who have made meritorious contributions to those who are junior, officials from disadvantaged areas are supported and cared for, and the blows against those who come from the three prefectures of Qingyan and Hebei are tacitly approved by the emperor.
As a native of Jingzhou, he wants to get in touch with the bigwigs from Qingyan and Hebei Sanzhou, and no one looks down on them.
The embarrassing position of the Jingzhou bureaucrats made the Jingzhou bureaucrats have to choose to hug the emperor's thighs, otherwise it will be difficult to get mixed up in the court.
Therefore, after Kuai Liang took over the appointment, he didn't say anything, and went directly to Jizhou, and after arriving in Jizhou, he joined forces with the leader of the investigation team to investigate the case.
The jurisdiction of the state warehouse belongs to the Ministry of War, and the central government is responsible for sending personnel to manage it, and the local government cannot interfere in accordance with the procedures.
Now that there is a problem, the Central Military Department has the unshirkable responsibility to participate in dealing with it and find out what the problem is, so Kuai Liang is very concerned.
After participating in the investigation of the case, Kuai Liang realized that the problems in the warehouse were caused by the officials sent to the local area by the Central Military Department and the local officials in collusion.
Judging from the problems that have been found out so far, some of them are the officials of the Ministry of Military Affairs who have taken the initiative to contact local officials to do things, and some of them are the local officials who have taken the initiative to bribe the officials of the Ministry of War.
They're basically eyeing the meat reserves.
I fell in love with the air-dried beef and marinated pork, and thought that this was very popular, and if I sold it, I could make a lot of money, so I thought about it.
Meat itself is very popular, and the dried and cured meat can be stored for a long time, and it is a very good reserve food for many people, such as caravans, fleets, and other powerful estates.
And then the Karasuma people in Yushu and Nagashu also liked these things very much, and they were willing to pay a good price for it.
The market is there, the goods are there, then the next thing is guts.
As long as you have the guts, this is a profitable thing, you don't need to pay any cost, and the profits are amazingly high.
Because of Guo Peng, almost everyone in the Wei Empire is learning mathematics, and everyone can do some simple arithmetic, and this kind of thing can be seen to be very profitable after a little calculation.
They themselves are guarding the warehouse in the local area, and they are responsible for keeping records of how much comes in and how much goes out of the warehouse, and as long as they do a little trick and cooperate with each other, a considerable part of the property belonging to the state will become ownerless.
Since this meat is ownerless, isn't it up to them to decide what to do with it?
Few people dared to do that at first.
The first people to do so were the relevant officials of Zhao County.
They made a relatively thorough deployment arrangement before the errand, and contacted the Karasuma people, and after getting the exact purchase intention, they began to move and get this batch of meat.
Then he sold the meat to the Karasuma tribe in exchange for a large amount of money, and when he returned, he sold the stolen goods into money and silk cloth, which was really counting the money and trembling in his hands.
Of course, such a thing should not be publicized, unless it feels like life is too long.
These people obviously don't feel that their lives are long, and they have money to spend and enjoy, so they are very tight-mouthed and never leak it to the public, and this state has been maintained for a long time.
It wasn't until an official got drunk and didn't control his mouth that such a thing gradually spread on the side of several warehouse officials in Zhao County, and then people began to follow suit.
However, this situation did not spread from Zhao County, and the other counties had similar leaders and successors.
Embezzlement is like a terrible virus, it is naturally generated, and it should not be too threatening, but the threat is that it is contagious.
Only a few strong-willed people have immunity, and most people do not have this immunity.
They can only be infected, and thus degenerate, go to the point of no return to corruption, enter this cycle of no return, and go to death.
Zhao County, Anping County, Julu County, Qinghe County, Bohai County, and many other counties have such problems, so when Kuai Liang and his team arrived, there were actually many officials who had already been censored.
Basically, find out a little punishment can pull out the radish and bring out the mud, a pot of ends, so as to find out a lot of hidden hidden in the dark and not leaky.
These guys are quite well hidden, and if it weren't for the fact that their companions couldn't bear all kinds of ecstasy punishments, they might have been able to hide like this without being discovered.
The biggest corruption case examined after Kuailiang's arrival was an old case that had been piled up over the years, and one case involving more than 10,000 catties of air-dried beef and cured pork.
The place where the crime occurred was Qinghe County, so the entire Facao system and the storage system of the military department in this county were all wiped out.
In the end, it was found out that this wave of people was not wronged.
For five or six years, every year, they quietly turned some of the meat in the warehouse into ownerless goods, and then let them happily buy these ownerless things into the Karasuma tribe, so that they could earn a lot of money from it.
The case of feelings began when the Kingdom of Wei was established, and at that time, Guo was working hard to become emperor wholeheartedly, and he did not pay attention to this matter.
Therefore, after finding out this problem, the officials of the investigation team were quite annoyed, feeling that such a thing had appeared, and it had not been discovered for so many years, which showed that the local officials were corrupt.
A knife was ruthlessly smashed into the local judicial system and storage system, and the people inside were replaced.
There is no doubt that this wave of people will die.
Kuai Liang sent this matter to Luoyang to let Guo Peng know, but after ten days, the emperor's order came.
All the relevant officials were beheaded, and their families, including the clansmen and friends involved in the case, all their homes were raided, all their belongings confiscated, and they were exiled to the most remote county in Pingzhou to go to Tuntian, where they changed their household registration, and they were not allowed to return to the Central Plains for the rest of their lives.
And the people involved in the case who were later found out were all dealt with according to such standards.
I don't want to live, the sinners have no value in living with me, kill them all.
Of course, if someone takes the initiative to come forward and confess his guilt and report others and verify it, he can be exempted from death, and depending on the situation, other punishments can be reduced accordingly.
Such rules are also extended to the whole country.
Guo wants to see how much dirt has been hidden in the place over the years, and see what things these people can find out that make him feel extremely happy under the bite of each other.
Such a rule was first popularized in Jizhou, and some officials who were terrified to death because of the emperor's killing order were overjoyed as if they had grasped a life-saving straw, and immediately told what they were unwilling to say before.
Those who have unusual statuses, those who involve the central authorities, and those who involve officials with relatively high status, all these things have been revealed.
In order to keep themselves alive, these guys can do anything.
Anyway, dead friends don't die poor.
When Kuai Liang saw the results of these confessions, he was worried on the surface, but his heart was already happy.
The officials of the investigation team were not very good at concealing it, and they directly showed their joyful expressions on their faces, and they were very excited to see it, feeling that the time had come for them to make great achievements and earn political achievements.
The bad luck of some officials is always accompanied by the luck and superiority of some officials, and this kind of opportunity is rare, and I don't know when it will come, so for many officials, this time is a very rare God-given opportunity.
The revelation of the Jizhou corruption case and the Liangzhou corruption case are not far apart.
After the outbreak of the Liangzhou case, Yongzhou was quickly involved, and some people in Yongzhou were involved.
The situation of officials in Yongzhou will not be much better than that in Liangzhou, but in the matter of road construction and grain corruption, Yongzhou officials are really not deeply involved.
Many things were tossed out by the officials of Liangzhou themselves after the materials were allocated to Liangzhou.
They transported things to Yongzhou to sell stolen goods, and the Yongzhou officials didn't know that the things were digested in Yongzhou locally, such as Hanzhong and Shangyong.
There were even some things that were shipped to the Gyeonggi region and digested.
So the investigation team tracked down the unscrupulous traders who assisted in selling the stolen goods in Yongzhou, arrested them, questioned them, beheaded them, and raided their homes, killing all the men and selling all the women into slavery.
Some were sold to places such as green buildings, and some were thrown directly into the barracks as the most cruel punishment.
A total of 23 merchants in Yongzhou were raided, all of them lived in Chang'an City, and tens of millions of dollars were made from raiding their homes, which shows that these unscrupulous traders are not usually honest businessmen.
After learning that their homes were raided, the people of Chang'an City had many people talking and laughing and celebrating, which further proved that these vendors were not conscientious vendors.
To this end, the investigation team also investigated the mayor of Chang'an Market.
