Wang Zhi defended: "Even so, if you are involved in corruption or misconduct, it is not enough for him to step down with dignity." Everyone is born from the same root, so why be in a hurry to fry each other! ”

Yang Lian smiled and said, "I'm ashamed to be born with such a person. I entered Donglin to seek my fellow citizens and serve the country and the people, not to protect officials and officials, and to form a party for personal gain. Don't want such a root. ”

Wang Zhi said: "Don't forget, you can sit in this seat, Master Ye and all the seniors have contributed." The most important thing is not to forget your roots. ”

Yang Lian replied: "I have told Master Ye many times, and he also agrees that Donglin is not a place to hide dirt and filth. As long as the reputation of Donglin is tarnished, Donglin can be cleared. ”

Wang Zhi said: "I wait to enter Donglin, one is Donglin can shelter us from the wind and rain, and the other is Donglin's strong voice, which is mutually beneficial, why bother how to be strict, according to what you said, Donglin is dead." ”

Yang Lian lamented in his heart, it turned out that many so-called Donglin people thought differently from themselves at all, but they regarded Donglin as a big tree, and they didn't care whether the big tree had dirty leaves, rotten branches, and even the roots were messed up.

What is the reason for this, is it wrong to blame these people for their original intentions? He remembered what Zuo Shi said, "If you are not the same way, you are an enemy", and he faintly felt in his heart that he was afraid that this sentence was the root.

He waved his hand weakly and said, "When the Baoyuan Bureau stopped minting money, Brother Ling said that he wanted to write a letter to you, but I don't know if you can receive it. ”

Wang Zhi was very strange why he suddenly changed the topic, and then immediately figured out the meaning behind Yang Lian, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Yang Lian, don't be too arrogant, there are times when you regret it." ”

After that, he slapped the table and walked away. Yang Lian shook his head, knowing that these words would offend him miserably, but he knew that Wang Zhi was only afraid that some hands and tails in the Baoyuan Bureau were not clean, so he originally wanted to remind him, but he didn't want to provoke him to be angry. However, it can also be seen that Wang Zhi is indeed soft in the affairs of the Baoyuan Bureau, otherwise he would not be annoyed and angry, I only hope that he can listen to his words, because the emperor will definitely investigate the Baoyuan Bureau in various places this year.

Yang Lian didn't care about him, and directly asked people to submit a letter to the Yamen, and then he came to the Yamen. Although the political envoy is from the second rank, much higher than his official rank, he is a messenger, so the political envoy greeted him in front of the yamen.

After the two sides had asked questions and answers, they entered the yamen. Yang Lian asked directly: "Nanzhili earthquake, the emperor is very concerned, Yangzhou is the most severely affected, the household department pulled 33,000 yuan for disaster relief, why only 18,000 yuan in Yangzhou?" ”

The political envoy was surprised: "I remember that it was 50,000 yuan, why did Qin Cha say that it was 33,000 yuan?" ”

Yang Lian understood that the amount of money reported below was the amount after the move, and he was even more angry in his heart, so he said: "All the people who need to be handled by Ben Qin, please ask the political envoy to help summon them, and I have to ask them clearly." ”

The political envoy summoned one left senator (from the third grade), one from the left senator (from the fourth grade), two from the experience (from the sixth grade), one from the seventh grade, and one from the inspection school (from the ninth grade), a total of six officials, and Yang Lian came to inquire about the situation.

Everyone brought the files that were kept at the bottom, and the matter was clear. The left participated in politics and received 50,000 yuan, which became 45,000 yuan in the hands of the left senator, and 40,000 yuan in the hands of the experience. In the hands of the capital, it became thirty-six thousand, in the hands of the inspector it became thirty-four, and out of the hands of the inspector, it became thirty-three.

That is to say, 5,000 yuan each was greedy for participating in politics and senatory, 2,000 yuan for each person in experience, 2,000 yuan for everything, and 1,000 yuan for school inspection. In the process, all the officials plucked their feathers, and none of them spared the disaster relief funds.

Yang Lian was dumbfounded, this is the officials of the Ming Dynasty, they have reached the point where they are not officials and are not greedy. He couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart, Emperor Taizu couldn't stop them from being corrupt one after another, and what else could he do to return the rule to Qingming.

He looked at the officials kneeling on the ground and said, "Everyone, I'm sorry, maybe other people also have corrupt behaviors, but you just happened to run into the hands of Ben Qincha, so you have to offend." ”

The officials were in a hurry, and Zuo Shenzheng said: "Lord Qincha, the little one is confused for a while, and he is willing to donate his family property to help the victims, just asking Lord Qincha to raise his noble hand." ”

Yang Lian was silent for a long time, and when the other officials saw that there was a door, they immediately shouted: "Lord Qincha, I am also willing to donate my family property, please Lord Qincha to fulfill it." ”

Yang Lian said: "Ben Qincha can only guarantee that you will not be beheaded now, and there is no way for the national law to govern you." ”

Zuo Shenzheng said: "This is natural, and I am willing to be dealt with by national law." ”

Yang Lian said: "Okay, then Xu Yishi will take you to record a confession, and then donate your family property." ”

After they followed Xu Xianchun out, the political envoy said with a smile: "Looking at Lord Qincha's style of acting in Yangzhou, I thought that today was another bloody storm, but I didn't expect Lord Qincha to put it down gently in the end." ”

Yang Lian smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Yuze, do you see this corrupt official, can you kill it?" Ripple is ignorant and doesn't know what can be done to solve this problem, but always knows that killing alone won't work. After I return to Beijing, I will show the emperor and seek a fundamental way to curb corruption. Now let them do something good for the relief of the victims. ”

Political envoy Liu Jinrun said: "Brother Wen Ru can think like this, which really makes my brother very pleased." Now that the emperor has greatly increased the salaries of officials, and they still want to do this, then they really can't blame others. Their family property can help them last for a few days at most, and the emperor will definitely rule the Qing Dynasty. ”

Yang Lian nodded and said, "Yes, the government is not clear, how can the country be peaceful." Yang Lian is not talented, and he is willing to do his best for this matter, although he has died nine times without regret. ”

Since there is corruption in Yangzhou's disaster relief funds, it is obvious that other places will not be free of problems. With the help of Liu Jinrun, Yang Lian also found out a number of moths that embezzled disaster relief funds, and also donated his family property in accordance with the previous law, so that he could temporarily leave the head of the item. If they are unwilling to give up their wealth, they will be beheaded directly for public display, and then their property will be confiscated.

After such an investigation, at least in the process of disaster relief, officials at all levels did not dare to blatantly put their hands on it. But if he wants to make the officials no longer corrupt, Yang Lian also knows that it is impossible, so he can only let Liu Siyu and Xu Xianchun increase their supervision, and Liu Jingwen will assist and supervise Dongchang and Jinyiwei on the side to minimize the occurrence of corruption incidents.

As for how to make corruption less or no more happening, Yang Lian asked himself if he was not capable enough, and only hoped that the emperor could come up with a way to fundamentally solve the problem of corruption. He also has some blind trust in the emperor now, and always feels that he really can't, but the emperor should be able to, although the emperor is actually not an adult.
