Chapter 769 Covert Investigation
Chapter 769
After Qin Huaidao arrived in Luoyang, he rested in the post house, the main one was on the road for a day, he was tired, and the other one didn't want to see those officials, not that he didn't give him face.
Because according to Qin Huaidao's own intelligence system, the officials in Luoyang have not taken less money, and in recent years, the palace maintenance in Luoyang has required the court and the royal family to invest more than 20 million yuan every year.
The effect is there, but those local officials and lords in Luoyang, almost every household has made a fortune, among which Luoyang Ling is the richest, it is said that there is a family fortune of seventy or eighty thousand, so this time Qin Huaidao came over with the personnel of Dali Temple, and at the same time, the secret agents who were released before are now also hurrying to collect news and evidence.
"Hu Guogong, now those lords and local officials are gone!" A principal came to Qin Huaidao's side and said to Qin Huaidao.
"Zhang Han and Ah, have you contacted our people?" Qin Huaidao sat there and asked.
"Grandpa Guo, I've been contacted, this is the evidence I just brought over, and there are some confessions! We investigated the craftsmen who repaired the Luoyang Palace, and this is their confession! The principal took some information and handed it to Qin Huaidao, who picked it up and looked at it.
Zhang Han and the other principals are all standing here watching, this time Qin Huaidao brought 12 principals, Dali Temple, there are 24 principals, of which twelve are now in Chang'an, and the remaining twelve are all here.
"They have the guts to falsely report high prices, extend their time, and cut corners, all of which they have used." Qin Huaidao looked at this report and said with a sneer.
"Hu Guogong, do you want to arrest someone?" The other principal looked at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"We don't have the right to arrest people, we're just investigating! Go, send people to investigate the assets that these officials have increased in the past two years, including fields, shops, and business matters, and find out all about them. Qin Huaidao sat there and said to one of the principals.
"Yes!" A few directors went out immediately, and of course, those directors also brought their subordinates over.
During this time, Qin Huaidao recruited a lot of people, most of whom are still training in Chang'an, and the place of training is not in Dali Temple, Qin Huaidao is worried that those people will be remembered, so they are all trained in secret.
"Hu Guogong, they will continue to come over tomorrow, what should I do?" A principal asked Qin Huaidao.
"Then let's meet, what about you, now go and investigate the whole Luoyang matter, you can't let people recognize it, three days later, we will return to Beijing, this matter needs to be reported to Your Majesty!" Qin Huaidao sat there and looked at the rest of the principals and said
"Yes!" Those principals immediately surrendered to Qin Huaidao, and then retreated, while Qin Huaidao was sitting there, at this moment, the weather was a little cold, and the post house also lit a stove for Qin Huaidao.
After dawn the next day, Qin Huaidao just got up, and went to the open space behind the post house to practice martial arts, Qin Huaidao had this habit, and those Luoyang officials in the distance also watched from afar,
When Qin Huaidao finished practicing martial arts, Qin Daniu took a cloak and hugged Qin Huaidao, Qin Huaidao turned his head to look at the officials outside, nodded with a smile, and went in.
Then Qin Huaidao said to Qin Da Niu when he was taking a bath: "Let them come over and wait in the living room!" ”
"Yes, sir!" When Qin Da Niu heard it, he immediately went out, the people who served here were all soldiers from the Qin Mansion, and the guards didn't do anything to serve Qin Huaidao at all, and Qin Da Niu didn't worry about people letting them serve, Qin Da Niu still believed in the people in his Zhuangzi.
Soon, after Qin Huaidao came out of the wash, all those officials arrived.
"I've seen Hu Guogong!"
"Well, excuse me!"
Qin Huaidao nodded, walked to the main seat and sat down, then looked at them with a smile and said, "I just came here yesterday, I was a little tired, and I couldn't communicate with you, I'm sorry!" ”
"Hu Guogong is serious, we are ignorant!" Luoyang ordered Du Qicheng to immediately arch his hand to Qin Huaidao and said.
"Well, what's the matter? Are you in such a hurry to see me? Qin Huaidao looked at them with a smile and asked.
"It's nothing, the main thing is that Hu Guogong has just arrived in Luoyang, and we, as local officials, need to receive it!" Du Qicheng said to Qin Huaidao,
And at this time, a colonel officer also looked at Qin Huaidao, Qin Huaidao knew him, one of the regiment commanders stationed here in Luoyang, however, he was a marquis, his father followed Qin Qiong back then, and it was also good to be named a marquis, his father died two years ago, and Qin Huaidao also sent someone to come.
Qin Huaidao saw him staring at him, so he looked at him with a smile.
"General, the last general Chen Liangmei has seen the general!" The colonel came over and saluted Qin Huaidao and said.
"Chen Juyu's son, Chen Liangmei?" Qin Huaidao stood up with a smile and asked with a smile.
"Yes!" Chen Liangmei immediately arched her hand and said.
"Well, is my aunt okay?" Qin Huaidao asked with a smile.
"I'm tired of Hu Guogong remembering, fortunately, my mother also hopes to invite Hu Guogong to have a meal at home!" Chen Liangmei stood there and said to Qin Huaidao, while the other officials looked at him in surprise, they didn't know that Chen Liangmei and Qin Huaidao still had this relationship.
"Hmm. If you want to go, it's just noon, and I'm going to visit my aunt too, so I'll go, and you don't invite anyone else, I just want to see my aunt. Qin Huaidao said to Chen Liangmei.
"Yes, that, that, then I'll arrange it now?" Chen Liangmei said to Qin Huaidao very excitedly, he didn't expect that Qin Huaidao actually agreed.
"Okay, let's go!" Qin Huaidao nodded and said, Chen Liangmei heard it, and immediately turned around and trotted out, feeling quite happy.
"This, Hu Guogong, it stands to reason that we should invite you." Du Qicheng looked at Qin Huaidao and said with a little embarrassment.
"Hey, it's okay, I'm here to check the straights here, I don't care about local things, you are free to do your own, don't worry about me, I'm done checking here, just go!" Qin Huaidao smiled at them and said,
And the more than 20 officials here, all of them are you look at me, I look at you, but they know that Qin Huaidao is now the secretary of Dali Temple, supervising hundreds of officials, and no one knows what Qin Huaidao's purpose is when he comes here?
And there is also news from Chang'an, you must pay attention to Qin Huaidao's trip, Qin Huaidao has the power to investigate hundreds of officials.
"Master, a director of the Ministry of Engineering outside has come over and said that he wants to report to you!" Qin Daniu came in from outside at this moment and said to Qin Huaidao.
"Let him in!" Qin Huaidao nodded with a smile and said,
Soon, an official from the Ministry of Industry ran in, saw Qin Huaidao and shouted with a smile: "Squire! ”
"I'm not a squire, come over here and cause you trouble." Qin Huaidao smiled and waved his hand and said, then pointed to the chair next to him, motioned for him to sit down, and then Qin Huaidao's family soldiers immediately brought him tea.
"How can it, we are looking forward to the waiter coming over, there are still some things that can't be solved on the construction site, and we still need you to go!" The official said with a smile, he is Qin Huaidao's old subordinate, he knows Qin Huaidao's character, as long as he does things well, he is very talkative, and he is also very generous to his subordinates.
"Well, okay, I'll go in the afternoon, and I'll visit my old friends in the morning, by the way, when is the road from Luoyang to Bianzhou expected to be completed, and before winter, it may be completed?" Qin Huaidao asked at him.
"Back to Shilang, it may be difficult before winter, because there are still some bridges that cannot be repaired, but the road sections can be repaired, and now we are also hurrying up to repair the bridge!" The official said to Qin Huaidao.
"Then we have to hurry, didn't we deploy the captives? How are they doing? Qin Huaidao looked at him and asked.
"Very good, very hard-working, according to the above requirements, we are not harsh on what they eat, let them eat enough, and only when they are full can they have the strength to work!" The officer laughed.
"That's good, I want them to be fed and warmly clothed, so as to ensure that they can do things for my Datang, you need to understand the documents issued above about the treatment of prisoners, but don't be too harsh on them, if they die, the Criminal Department may come to investigate, after all, if they die, it will delay our work on those construction sites." Qin Huaidao said to the official.
"I know, Hu Guogong, don't worry, we have let all the overseers study the above documents, so that they must be polite to those prisoners, and don't whip them if they have nothing to do! Don't whip as much as possible, if it's really excessive, please tell us before you can teach us a lesson! And it also needs to get the consent of those military commanders. The person in charge said to Qin Huaidao.
"Well, yes, okay, by the way, come on, take some tea for Director Liang, it's dry this day, drink some tea to moisten your throat!" Qin Huaidao said to a soldier beside him.
"Yes!" The soldier went to get something right away.
"Squire, I'm not polite to you, I really want to drink tea!" Director Liang said to Qin Huaidao with a smile.
"You're welcome, just do your job." Qin Huaidao said to Director Liang,
Soon, a soldier came over with two cans of tea and handed them to Director Liang, who gave his hand to Qin Huaidao, rode away again, and now he still needs to do a good job on the construction site, he also knows Qin Huaidao's character, do things first, don't talk about anything else.
"Hu Guogong, look, are you free at night?" Du Qicheng looked at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"Well, I may not be able to come back in the evening, so let's do it tomorrow, I'll take a look tomorrow, I may be on the construction site at night." Qin Huaidao said to Du Qicheng, it is not good to reject them now, it will increase their vigilance.
"Eh, thank you Hu Guogong!" Du Qicheng was very happy when he heard Qin Huaidao say this, and he was able to invite Qin Huaidao out for dinner, which means that the matter is not big, maybe they are thinking too much, Qin Huaidao is really here for the construction site of the Ministry of Industry.
