One thousand taels of silver is not small for Ma Xun. During his term of office, he collected thousands of taels or even 8,000 taels in various prefectures and counties, which can only be regarded as ordinary money, and it is a gift and etiquette in the officialdom, and it cannot be called bribery. No matter how much it depends on the friendship and needs of both parties, such as the one thousand taels sent separately in front of you.

To accept or not to accept is a matter of principle, and it is also a matter of attitude.

But in any case, a thousand taels is not enough for Ma Xun to spend too much effort, and the first few pages attached to the silver are the key. This is a whistleblower document, which is full of attacks on Shi Shenzheng, and the writing is not very good, but the organization is impeccable and the content is exciting.

Ma Xun thought that he had been in the ten mansions south of the Yangtze River for more than half a year, and his work performance was really ordinary, and some trivial things were found out, but he really lacked the rich and colorful, and he never thought that someone would take the initiative to give such a big gift.

Shi Shenzheng was one of the highest-ranking officials in the Jiangnan region, a famous minister of this dynasty, and the most famous prefect in the world at that time. Although he has not been promoted for ten years due to offending the powerful, he is finally a product of the provincial and national advantages and the trusted products of the imperial court, and he was sent to Su Songdao at a critical moment to pacify the Jiangnan region.

If he can join Lord Shi, it will be a brilliant record in his career as an official... Ma Xun summed it up in his heart, Shi Shenzheng's reputation is big and his background is small, and he has indeed been a little inconsiderate and sore since he took office. Impeachment has a low risk and high returns, and if you are lucky, it is more cost-effective to become famous in a war than to scold the emperor.

Thinking of this, Ma Xun issued an order to summon Li You, the governor of Suzhou Prefecture, to come to the procuratorate to inquire about the matter.

"In your report document, there are many things that the officials have heard of, and they have also been passed on by the people. However, some selfish things are inevitably groundless and groundless, and there is a suspicion of framing them out of thin air. Ma Xun woke up at the point, for the sake of a huge sum of 1,000 taels, he was quite kind to Li Tuiguan.

Li You silently took out a few pieces of paper and handed them to Lord Qincha, there is a way that facts speak louder than words, and actions speak louder than words.

Ma Xun couldn't help but be surprised when he took a look at it, this guy really has two brushes, and I don't know what method he used, he was able to ask Qian Huangshang to write a confession, and there was also circumstantial evidence of the third master of Zhao Mansion, a famous gentleman in this mansion. These two are not good characters, and even he, the Qincha, dare not say that he can be moved.

Then you can make up your mind completely! Ma Xun pressed and waved his hand to send off the guests.

Li You still retreated silently. Needless to say, Ma Xun's failure to return the silver to him showed everything.

However, when Ma Xun wrote the recital by himself, he still had an inexplicable vigilance against Li You, and after careful consideration, he added "Suzhou Mansion Governor Li You" after the beginning of "Patrol the Ten Prefectures of Jiangnan to Supervise the Imperial History Ma Mingxue".

This is even a joint playbook tied together, anyway, everyone is a seven-pin, and the joint name is not too cheap.

The time has come to the beginning of June of the seventh year of Jinghe, and the imperial court received the transcript of the Imperial Shima of the Ten Prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, and bitterly impeached the political envoy of Zhejiang, who participated in politics and sub-inspector Su Songdao Shi Lun was incompetent, and the government and the opposition attracted the attention of the government and the opposition.

Ma Xun's recital was not used to reveal the secret at all, and it was directly passed on, and after the recital entered the Jingshi Tongzheng Division and was registered, the officials who handled it were very curious about this unencrypted Qin Cha recital. As a result, it only took half a day for this gossip to spread all over the yamen of various ministries and courtyards, and there were many discussions among the government and the opposition for a while, and there were too many highlights in it.

In the name of the imperial history, the patrol is on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and the local small things are judged and the big things are played, so the recital of the patrol press, especially the one involving the magistrate himself, is very weighty. Sometimes it can be directly used as a substitute for assessment, and it is not comparable to the straw-like garbage inscriptions of ordinary officials, especially Ma Xun, who is the son-in-law of a certain cabinet elder in another capacity.

Besides, even if the officials are impeached, most of them are at the level of state and county officials, and there are very few prefects, and there are almost no higher ones. This time, Ma Xunzhi impeached a three-rank guard whose actual duties were similar to those of a political envoy, which was extremely rare, and was the first in decades.

Not to mention that this impeached Master of the Fen Shou Dao Shi is a famous two-wind Taishou in the world's officialdom, and his official voice has always been straight and capable, even the enemy does not deny this, but for some reason he was caught by the patrol and the imperial history.

The strangest thing is that the book is actually co-branded, I don't know what purpose Ma Xunpress pulled, a small government pusher into the gang, which is really reverie. Shrewd people conclude from this that this magistrate must be one of the key figures. Li You's name can be regarded as having really gone through the officialdom of Beijing.

In this transcript, Ma Xunji violently criticized Shi Shenzheng, a famous Qing minister cadre of this dynasty, saying that he was stubborn and self-righteous to bring disaster to the country and the people, and listed eight crimes in one breath, which were conclusive, almost subverting the image of Lord Shi in the eyes of the princes.

After understanding the content of the book, he commented: This book is not empty and general, it can be called a fact, all of which cannot be ascertained, partial and divergent, every sentence is punishable, and it can be described as a model of bullet chapters. It is difficult for Shi to participate in politics to clear himself, and it is difficult to escape the catastrophe.

The cabinet boss has not yet reacted, and the camera first turned back to Suzhou Mansion. Some time ago, Ma Xun's recital had just been sent away, and the summary of the recital had been circulated in various yamen in Suzhou Prefecture for some reason, according to the inspection division, the government office, the county office, the garrison department, and the tax department... In the end, it inevitably entered the sub-defense department, and it inevitably appeared on the public case of Shi Shenzheng.

Shi Shenzheng opened his eyes, forcibly suppressed his emotions, and read this plagiarized post in one breath - "The first crime is to sell his reputation and reputation, and show his ugliness." In order to invite the hearts of the people, with the respect of participating in politics, they wanted to forcibly supervise the hospital examination, which only aroused the suspicion of the locality, but did not comfort them, so that chaos was about to arise. Then he was at a loss, when the wolves on the street ran suddenly, the ugliness was unspeakable, the dignity of the government was gone, and almost became a laughing stock of scholars. Fortunately, thanks to the power of the government office, the disaster was averted. After that, he still wanted to cover up the incident. ”

"The second sin is greed for enjoyment and dereliction of duty. Although it is Su Songdao, he only cherishes the rich and noble red dust of Gusu, and he has been in office for half a year, and there is no matter of Songjiang Mansion in his eyes. ”

"The third crime is that the official has no form, and he uses his power to control the system. The imperial court has its own laws and regulations, and each has its own duties. If it is named Su Song Dao, but he does prefect affairs and manages government affairs everywhere, how can he be a Taoist official? ”

"The fourth sin is to rejoice in great achievements, and to work hard and lose money. deceived the imperial court to destroy houses and repair cities, thousands of families wailed, and all the people scolded. Competing with the people for the benefits of the baht, but losing the reputation of the court, I don't know what the intention is. ”

"The fifth crime is to befriend the powerful and collude with relatives. In order to build the city, he recommended the imperial merchant Qian's family, and secretly ordered the assistant manager of the city construction to be accommodating, and the secret was obscure. This is not groundless, there is a certificate from the Suzhou government, a circumstantial evidence from the squire Zhao Liangli, and a document from the Qian family. ”

"The sixth sin is to act as a prestige and coerce the place. He is not pragmatic in his name, and he does not hesitate to humiliate the officials of the imperial court. Some government officials fell into the water in anger and almost died; There are four products in the main hall and kowtow, and they are in front of the steps. The governor and the governor have not seen this majesty, and if he is arrogant, dare to ask if he has compared himself to the governor in his heart? ”

"The seventh sin is to use private individuals and interfere with government affairs. First, the prefect was forced to be overthrown, and then there were pro-party and co-governor acting government seals, which caused the government to be unbearable, and the government did not mention everything, criminal cases piled up, grain taxes were not available, and the tax arrears in the summer of this year were still uneven, and the others could not be said one by one. ”

"The eighth sin is narrow-mindedness, and he cannot tolerate others. Taste the people's customs, this matter is known to everyone in Suzhou Prefecture, the city is full of clouds, and the people are like mountains and rivers, so why do you need to say everything! Can it be an example? ”

After reading, Shi Shenzheng looked up to the sky and sighed, his heart was broken, as if he was buried in the soil and could barely breathe.

I recalled in my mind that when I was enrolled, I was in high spirits in the same year as Yigan, and I vowed to support Sheji at the Qionglin banquet, and it has been more than 20 years.

Now that he has half a white hair, but he ended up being impeached by the imperial history, no matter what the outcome is, it is already the first case in decades, what face do you have to walk in the officialdom?

Why is this happening? How to justify? Who can you confess to?

Perhaps, he is old and useless, and it is time to resign and return to his hometown. This is not a trick to retreat into advance, it is a real and genuine Zhishi.
