Liu Yunqi said hatefully: "These two dog officials, less than three years after coming to Huguang, they made the people here miserable, that Liu Donglin is known as Liu Peeling, and he has scavenged six or seven hundred thousand taels of silver in three years, and when Yan Song celebrated his birthday a while ago, he directly transported 100,000 taels of silver to Yan Song's hometown Jiangxi Fenyi to make a congratulatory gift, and last year's Huguang flood, he did not pull out a dime, and even did not distribute disaster relief food. ”

Qu Caifeng smiled slightly: "Don't hide it from Senior Brother Liu, this time I came to Wuchang City to find out the truth of these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and then report them." Last time, we robbed the corrupt official surnamed Shang in Dongting, and he lost his office, this time let's find out the account books of Liu Donglin and He Shuquan, and present them to the top, and we can punish them. ”

Liu Yunqi hooked the corners of his mouth dissatisfiedly: "Senior sister, if you follow me, these dog officials are all innocent, what to do with them politely, we are heroes in the green forest, what we want is the refreshment of white knives in and red knives out, slaughtered one by one, isn't it a hundred, you must know that officials protect each other, these people are Yan Song's henchmen, even if we have their crimes, who can we hand them over?" ”

Qu Caifeng smiled and glanced at the wolf in the distance: "Don't hide it from Senior Brother Liu, this brother is a secret envoy sent by the emperor, who came to investigate corrupt officials, and now he is visiting Weifu, as long as the evidence is found, this brother will definitely be able to help us bring these corrupt officials to justice." ”

Liu Yunqi glanced at the sky wolf in the distance, and a trace of alertness flashed in his eyes. He lowered his voice: "This is also an official, is it reliable?" ”

Qu Caifeng's eyes flashed: "Senior Brother Liu, if you are not an absolutely reliable person. I won't bring it here, this time this lord is specially here for an unannounced visit, not at all like other officials who protect each other are just going through the motions, if the evidence of Liu Donglin and He Shuquan's crimes is true, he will definitely transfer it to the emperor, and let him deal with these two dog officials according to the law of the country. It's just that I need the ledger for which they asked for bribes in detail. ”

Liu Yunqi's face showed a trace of embarrassment: "Well, this." It is a tricky matter, according to the information I inquired, these two dog officials did make an account book of the people's fat and ointment that they had looted in Huguang Province in the past few years. But this account book is different from the last Shang Governor, who keeps the account book personally, so we can easily find it, and these two dog officials have found a master to protect it. So things get very troublesome. ”

Qu Caifeng's eyes flashed with murder: "What master?" ”

Liu Yunqi said in a low voice: "He is the master of the Sun and Moon Sect. These two guys are about to step down and return to Beijing in two months, so the Sun Moon Sect sent the two big protectors on the left and right, Guan Wu and Situ Jiao, as well as the two personal apprentices of the Leng Sect Master, Lin Zhenyi and Fu Jianzhi, they brought more than 30 masters of the Sun and Moon Sect to watch in Liu Yunqi's courtyard every day, just guarding the account book. ”

Qu Caifeng nodded: "Senior Brother Liu, I know, thank you for your help." I'll figure it out myself. ”

Liu Yunqi said with a straight face: "Senior sister, do you need me to mobilize people to help?" ”

Qu Caifeng shook his head: "No." Now that I can't clash head-on with the Sun and Moon Sect, this matter can only be outwitted, not the enemy, I will think of other ways, if I want to use your help, I will inform you. ”

Liu Yunqi nodded, glanced back at the sky wolf, and hurried out, his light skills were very good, he walked quietly, and disappeared like a gust of wind.

Heavenly Wolf looked at the direction in which Liu Yunqi was going, and shook his head thoughtfully: "It seems that things are more troublesome than we imagined, we didn't expect that the Demon Sect actually dispatched two major protectors and two major disciples to guard these two corrupt officials." ”

Qu Caifeng moved the lotus step lightly, walked over, and smiled slightly: "It may be that Yan Shifan showed up in the Mongolian camp last time, and he knew that Lu Bing would not forgive him for his betrayal, and maybe he would start to trouble him secretly, so he secretly ordered the henchmen everywhere to carefully guard their respective stolen money and goods, so as not to fall into any tricks." ”

Tian Wolf laughed: "Yes, I heard Lu Bing say before, Yan Party members have to keep an account book of how much they have paid and accepted in their respective positions, and finally hand it over to Yan's father and son, other officials build this kind of account book by themselves in order to settle accounts for themselves, Yan Party's control of his subordinate members is very strong, and he must know how much his henchmen have made in office, and how much they have paid to themselves, and with this thing, they can control their henchmen so that they will not defect." ”

"Now Yan Song's father and son are starting to lose a little momentum, in this case, they are starting to keep a low profile in the court on the one hand, and on the other hand, they are beginning to grasp their party members more tightly, last time Yan Song killed Ding Rukui, this move will make many of his subordinates have a way out, if they don't catch their handles, then there is a risk that the tree will fall and scatter."

Qu Caifeng didn't know much about the affairs of the court, and blinked his eyes: "In that case, why don't you let these people hand over the account books now?" ”

The wolf shook his head, and said with a straight face: "That is to tear the skin of the face, after all, the court is not a sect of the rivers and lakes, it can be done so nakedly, relying on feeding small pills to subordinates or controlling the families of subordinates in exchange for the loyalty of subordinates, they are more like a community of interests, relying on the protégé system to maintain a party group." ”

Qu Caifeng Qi said: "What kind of protégé system? ”

Heavenly Wolf smiled slightly: "To be an official, you have to pass the imperial examination, and the doorway in the middle of the imperial examination is bigger." Miss Qu, have you ever heard of protégés and protégés? ”

Qu Caifeng didn't know anything about these officialdoms, but just shook his head in confusion: "I know about the imperial examination, isn't it that all the officials in the world are produced by this?" It's a test every three years, right, and what are the county exams, township exams, and Beijing exams. Only if you pass the township examination can you enter the Beijing exam, and after you win, you will be a jinshi, and you will be sent out to be an official, right? ”

Tianluo nodded: "Yes, this imperial examination is the biggest way for scholars in the world to become officials since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the vast majority of officials in our dynasty have to pass the imperial examination to become officials, and the other is that the children of the first rank of the senior can pass guò to enter the country to study, and directly give an official after graduation, such as Yan Shifan is an official in this way, but this is a very small number after all, most people still take the formal imperial examination to serve as officials, and enter Beijing every three years to catch the examination. Either it's the editing of the Hanlin Academy in Beijing or something. ”

"When the term of one or two county officials expires and the performance assessment is qualified, these county officials will be transferred back to Beijing and enter the six ministries, which is the key at this time, you need to make friends with the powerful and have someone to support, otherwise you will be ready to be a petty official in the six ministries for the rest of your life."

Qu Caifeng nodded again and again when he heard this: "I know that these corrupt officials are all officials to make money, they come to office by themselves, and these officials from the county to the head are often passed down from generation to generation by the big families in the county, so these officials are all changing ways to make a lot of money when they take office, and only when they are filial piety and do a good job of Shangguan can they be promoted." ”

Heavenly Wolf Zhengse said: "This is back to the agreed protégé I just said, generally the important ministers of the court also need a group to support themselves, they can fight against differences in the court, and they can also protect their children and grandchildren after returning home, so these cabinet minister-level officials will use their power to start recruiting their protégés during the imperial examination, thinking that they are party henchmen." ”

Qu Caifeng frowned: "Didn't you say that the imperial examination is extremely difficult?" If you catch it, you will be killed. If the imperial examination can also do tricks, then what are you doing with decades of hard study? ”

Tianluo shook his head: "This kind of thing is naturally not to be done for cheating in the exam, but once every three years, among the young people who go to the Beijing Imperial Examination, who has great ability and whose name is famous, these are still those who have heard about it in advance. ”

"This is the same as those of us who study martial arts, we all know what there are masters in the world, but who can win in the battle of life and death often depends on the on-the-spot performance. But no matter how unwell you are Miss Qu, it is no problem to defeat a martial artist who has not passed the eight veins. (To be continued......)
