Even though Xu Shu already had a guess in his heart, he was still a little unbelievable when he heard it from the abbot's mouth at this moment.

Huang Yuan, the county magistrate who covered the sky in Ning'an County, embezzled huge amounts of property, but not for himself, but for the sake of building more monasteries.

No matter how you look at it, it's not something a normal person would do.

Does Huang Yuan look like he has Buddha nature? Why is it all about the construction of the temple?

If he spends this mind on the people of Ning'an County, he is definitely a good parent official who can benefit the people of Ning'an County.

However, Huang Yuan spent all his thoughts on the temple, and even embezzled countless money in order to build the temple. As a result, many families in Ning'an County were ruined.

This is the first time Xu Shu has seen that people who are corrupt are not for themselves and their families.

Tian Feng and Zhou Cang have also investigated countless corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but Huang Yuan is definitely the strangest, and it is estimated that no one will surpass him in the future.

Xu Shu found out where Huang Yuan's money went, and Tian Feng, Zhou Cang and others almost washed all the officials in Ning'an County.

The homes of countless officials have been raided, and the confiscated copper coins have exceeded two million.

The number of officials who were disposed of has also exceeded 100.

Up to the county order, down to the most ordinary errand service.

After dealing with the corruption problem in Ning'an County, Xu Shutianfeng and others returned to Yecheng.

Yecheng!

Zhao Hui listened to Xu Shu's report, and was also very surprised.

"My lord, Huang Yuan said that in the past 20 years, he has almost sent 500,000 yuan to Zhang Mao, the Taishou of Bohai County." Xu Shu said.

Knowing that the abbot of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple had already confessed, Huang Yuan in prison also accepted his fate, and then said something that others did not know.

Although he was concentrating on building temples, in order to be able to sit firmly in the county order of Ning'an County, Huang Yuan naturally took out some of the embezzled money and used it to deal with the relationship between his superiors.

Not only Bohai Taishou, but also other county orders, most of them have received Huang Yuan's money, but the amount is not much.

Huang Yuan just wanted them to say a few good words for themselves.

Even though he embezzled millions of dollars, because of those connections, Huang Yuan's reputation in officialdom is still very good.

Even the people of Ning'an County didn't know that Huang Yuan had embezzled so much money.

The tens of millions of dollars embezzled by Huang Yuan were actually squeezed from ordinary people, less than one-third, and the rest were businessmen and gentry who offended Huang Yuan.

Otherwise, it is really squeezed from ordinary people, and the people of Ning'an County have long been bored, and it is impossible to hide it for so long.

"Lord, do you want to investigate Bohai Taishou, or directly sentence Huang Yuan?" Xu Shu asked.

"Check!"

"Huang Yuan's money has never been accounted for, and now he doesn't know how much he has embezzled, and there is no record of bribes to Bohai Taishou and others. If you want to check, I'm afraid it will take a little time. ”

"Well, leave it to Tian Feng, don't make a big fuss, just investigate secretly."

Bohai is too guarded, Zhao Hui is a little impressed. is also an old minister before Yuan Shao.

After Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi fled, the current Bohai Taishou Zhang Mao surrendered.

Zhang Mao did not have particularly outstanding political achievements in Bohai, but he was not too much at fault.

It seems that he has always been diligent.

Both the second thief and Wang Xiaodong conducted a simple investigation on him, and they didn't find much of a problem, so they didn't pay too much attention to him.

There are too many officials in various places, and it is basically impossible to supervise them all.

If you do this, it will take a lot of manpower, and it will easily panic the officials below.

If everyone cowers, then there is nothing to do.

Zhao Hui also wants them to be able to do things boldly and bring changes to this big man.

Corruption can only be done with strict laws, and then it will be investigated when the incident occurs.

It's impossible to keep an eye on them when they're not corrupt.

The problem of corruption among officials can only be relied on by their virtue, and there is no other way.

All Zhao Hui could do was to find out as soon as possible after they embezzled and recover the embezzled money.

Regarding the matter of the Ministry of Justice, after Zhao Hui returned to Yecheng, he had already begun to discuss with Jia Xu and Guo Jia.

Xu Shu came back at the right time.

Tian Feng is now in charge of the Ministry of Discipline Inspection, and Zhao Hui intends to put Xu Shu in charge of the Ministry of Justice.

The Department of Discipline Inspection is responsible for supervising corruption among officials and accepting reports from the public.

The Ministry of Justice will specialize in the trial of cases.

However, if you want the Ministry of Justice to take over all the big and small cases in Jizhou, some people are still immature.

At present, Zhao Hui, Guo Jia and others are considering that it will only be implemented in Yecheng for the time being, and then starting next year, let every county in Jizhou set up a Ministry of Justice.

The Ministry of Justice is independent, regardless of the administrative or military, and is responsible only for adjudicating cases in the counties.

All kinds of civil disputes are still responsible for the local county order, and if the person who is not satisfied with the judgment after the trial of the local county order, he can go to the Ministry of Justice to request a review.

If it is a criminal case and it involves officials, it is all handed over to the Ministry of Justice for trial, and the local county order has no power to try it.

The magistrate is only responsible for the detention of those involved. Responsible for handing them over to the Ministry of Justice.

Xu Shu has followed Zhao Hui for the longest time, and he also understands Zhao Hui's thoughts the most.

Supervision, adjudication, and enforcement are the three rights of separation, so as to prevent people from bending the law for personal gain.

However, any system, when formulated, looks perfect, but there will definitely be loopholes, and it is certainly impossible to completely eliminate favoritism.

But if you can stop more than ninety percent of the cases, so that most of the cases can be fairly judged, it is worth doing.

Whether it was corruption in Ning'an County or the establishment of the Ministry of Justice, Zhao Hui did not hide it, and let Lin Song publish it in the newspaper so that everyone could know about it.

Let them know that if there is a grievance in the future, it is no longer nowhere to redress, but that the Ministry of Justice can accept it for them, as long as it is a grievance, do not be afraid, the Ministry of Justice will definitely return them a fair and innocent person.

Spring ploughing is nearing its end.

Spring ploughing is the most important time of the year, but now it's finally over.

This year, the cultivated area of Jizhou has increased by two percent compared with last year.

Thanks to the large number of cultivated cattle brought back by Zhao Yun, they can cultivate more land.

In Taihang Shangzhong, Shen Kui has also led a group of people to use various special fertilizers, and they will register which fields have higher yields in the autumn.

The army in Zhao Hui's hands began to move frequently.

Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Qingzhou.

The armies of the four states all began to move south.

The grain and grass harvested last year were transported to the south one by one.

Spring ploughing is about to pass, and a group of people can already be recruited.

In summer, women and children in the family can clear the weeds in the fields. The absence of men has little impact on the autumn harvest.

At the same time, a large number of spies began to infiltrate Yanzhou and Yuzhou to inquire about Cao Cao's military movements.
