It is not an easy task to investigate the situation of nearly 100 people, especially since these 100 or so people are still officials.

Because it took time, the discussion was changed to three days later, and Lin Bei hoped that the results would be available in three days.

This investigation was presided over by Xu Shu and Pang Tong, and Lin Bei specially instructed the two to sue them, no matter who was involved, even if it involved himself, he must investigate to the end.

With this investigation, the officials of Wanghai City knew that Lord Dragon King had moved the real character, in fact, it was also true before, but they were still holding a fluke mentality, and now, this fluke mentality is gone.

The results of the investigation were sent to the Dragon God Palace and arrived in front of Lin Bei.

I don't know if I don't investigate, after an investigation, Lin Bei himself was shocked, he originally thought that Qingping's Wanghai City actually hid so many things, and they were all hidden from Lin Bei

An Zhong walked into the Dragon God Palace with trepidation, this time he came on the order of Lin Bei.

"Ansnon, my lord is waiting for you in the backyard." The sergeant said.

An Zhongzhi smiled at the sergeant, walked towards the backyard, and as soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he saw the majestic snake body of Lin Bei.

"Zhongzhi is here?"

An Zhong looked at Lord Longwang's face and expression as usual, and couldn't help but let go of his breath, "I've seen my lord." ”

"Come here, look at this lotus."

An Zhong walked to the pond, now the lotus flowers in the pond are all blooming, there are pink and red, pink and white, red and red, extremely beautiful, lotus leaves are densely spread throughout the pond, refreshing people's hearts.

"My lord, this pond lotus is excellent." An Zhongzhi admired.

"Right? I think so, Zhongzhi, do you know the meaning of the lotus? ”

"The lotus flower is noble, and it is a gentleman among flowers."

"It seems that you have worked hard during this time."

If you want to put aside the time when An Zhongzhi was the pavilion chief before, he must not know the meaning of the lotus, but now. With the gradual opening of the wisdom of the people of Wanghai City, An Zhongzhi manages the affairs of Wanghai City, and comes into contact with more and more people and things every day, and An Zhongzhi is no longer the former An Zhongzhi.

"Your Excellency has won the prize."

"There's an article about Ai Lian that you've heard of it?"

"Ai Lian said? The subordinates had never heard of it. An Zhong shook his head, of course he hadn't heard of it.

"The flowers of land and water, plants and trees, the lovely ones are very rich. To love the lotus out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons, straight through the outside, not vines and branches, fragrant far and clear, pavilion net planting. After a pause, Lin Bei sighed: "I think so." ”

An Zhongzhi was silent.

"The lotus flower is not stained by the mud, which can be described as the flower of a gentleman, which is certainly precious. But what I appreciate the most is the eight characters in it: straight from the middle, not branched, loyal and straight, you let me down. ”

An Zhong knelt down: "The subordinates are guilty." ”

Lin Bei turned around, looked at the pond, and said lightly: "Do you think Huairen is talented?" ”

An Zhongzhi didn't speak, and he didn't dare to say it, because Huairen's surname was An. It's his son.

"If people can be like lotus flowers, it is difficult to achieve a straight line from the middle to the outside. My lord, I don't want the big families to come into my lookout, and the reason is because these big families are very involved, there are many marriages, and people are selfish, and I also know it, such as you. If you make a mistake, my heart will be very painful. ”

"Tadanao has disappointed your lordship."

"Well, you did disappoint me, if An Huairen is talented, I don't mind reusing it. I understand the principle that the virtuous do not avoid relatives, but don't you know what your son did? Greedy for more than 100,000 dollars of money and food, hehe, am I missing you to eat and drink? ”

An Huairen, the eldest son of An Zhongzhi, was an official in Wanghai City Cangyu, an official three months ago, greedy for 80,000 stones of grain in Wanghai City, and more than 50,000 dragon god coins, this is the most serious case investigated by the Dragon God Army, and it also involves An Zhongzhi, because An Huairen is An Zhongzhi's son.

An Zhong fell straight to the ground: "My lord, my subordinates are guilty." ”

"You've been following me for over two years, haven't you?"

"Yes."

"More than two years, not long but not short, when I first saw you, you were still the pavilion chief of Xishan Township, everyone in the township respected, it seems that people will really change, I look at Haicheng so just started, you have already changed."

"Subordinate convicted."

"You go back."

"The subordinates retired."

An Zhong knelt on the ground, slowly retreated to the courtyard gate, kowtowed three times to Lin Bei, and then got up, but he was already in tears

Three days later, in the Dragon God Palace, the discussion resumed.

Lin Bei sat down on the throne, this time not only the 500 officials from three days ago, but also the nearly 100 officials who handed in their resignations, many of these people were worried and very uneasy, and they should be uneasy.

"Two years ago, the village moved from Xishan Township to Wanghai, my lord, I wanted to give everyone a future, to follow my common people a stable and happy life, but now it seems that I am far underestimating the selfish desires of many people, perhaps a comfortable life has worn out the fighting spirit of some people, these people think that they can sit back and enjoy it, here, I say sorry to you, you think too much."

Lin Bei's voice was echoing.

"Bian Ji, where did you live in the house, your food and clothing, and your monthly money come from? Sue me? ”

Bian Ji said: "It comes from paying taxes. ”

"Xu Shu, Kong Ming, Pang Tong, you sue you, where do these come from? Did it fall from the sky? ”

All three shook their heads.

Lin Bei continued: "Very good, it seems that you have realized this, what are the officials, this is a very special group, the common people pay taxes, for you to eat, for your clothes, so that you have a monthly money to get, from this point of view, the officials are like the common people's buddies, the common people hired you, let you serve them." ”

"The common people let you have rights, these rights are higher than the common people, and some people even control the life and death of the common people, and it is these rights that make some of you get carried away, and even forget why you have these rights, you take it for granted, here, I sue you, without the common people, you are nothing, don't take the goodness of the common people as capital that can be bullied at will!!"

"We officials should feel humble, not high, think about your buddy, eat your use of yours, you give him a monthly money but ride on your head, how do you feel in your hearts? Do you take it for granted? ”

"We should be proud of being officials. Because the common people trust you, they give you these rights, including the right to control their life and death, how much trust is this? You should be proud of this trust that there is a great terror between life and death, but the common people dare to entrust this right to you. ”

"The people are the most important. Jun Weiqing's words are not empty words, looking at the fall of many dynasties, it is precisely because many officials do not understand this truth, they do not feel humble, they take the rights they have for granted. ”

"It's only been more than two years since the Great Wei Dragon King Sect was built, but now there are already people who get carried away, if it is another twenty years, two hundred years, then it will be enough? Look at today's Han family, you still want to repeat the mistakes of the past. You may think that life is only a short 100 years, but for me, the foundation of eternity is just the beginning, so I will never allow this to happen here. ”

"People's hearts are fickle, and the embankment of thousands of miles collapses in the ant nest, and today I will ring the alarm bell for all of you. I will not be soft on those who get carried away. Xu Shu, Pang Tong, you come to tell you about the problems found in the past three days. ”

Xu Shu and Pang Tong stood up, expressionless, and began to read out the problems found in the past three days. And it's a roll call.

Lin Bei closed his eyes, listening to Xu Shu and Pang Tong read out the names one by one, and when he read An Huairen, Xu Shu paused, and Lin Bei opened his eyes. After a long time, he said in a deep voice: "An Huairen is the eldest son of An Zhongzhi, and the position of Cangyu is his appointment for personal gain, according to the law, those who favor him should be forced to work for three years, and he will be exempted from labor when Wanghai City was first built, and he will be demoted to a commoner, and his son will be dealt with according to the crime of embezzlement of ink." ”

"Master Xie." An Zhongzhi kowtowed, Lin Bei saw that An Zhongzhi already had gray hair, and Lin Bei closed his eyes again.

Many people couldn't bear it, but when they saw that even An Zhongzhi had been reduced to a commoner, they knew that Lord Dragon King was indeed never favoritism.

"My lord, I'm done." An hour later, Xu Shu said to Lin Bei.

"Okay, did everyone hear me?" Lin Bei looked at the nearly 100 officials who had submitted their resignations, and said in a deep voice: "Deal with it according to the law." ”

The sergeants rushed in and dragged the men out, either with rods or with hard labor.

Looking at the rest of the people, Lin Bei said softly: "You are still a good official, you know the duty of being an official, I hope you will take today as a warning." ”

Lin Bei said again: "Some time ago, there was a lot of uproar because of the two regulations, and today I will talk to you and others carefully, can there be any objections to the first grievance?" ”

The officials did not dare to speak.

Lin Bei said in a deep voice: "Is there no objection? Could it be that you're all messing around these days? ”

Someone finally had the audacity to say, "My lord, we actually have no objection to the matter of redressing grievances. ”

"Oh, that's the second one, don't close the house at night, this one is what you think is inappropriate?"

"Yes."

"Then you tell me in detail, what's wrong?"

"My lord, now my heart trembles when I take a bath in the toilet, and I don't want the people to look at the affairs of the boudoir, but there are always those who do good things."

Lin Bei chuckled: "When did I say that you need to open the door of the house when you take a bath and go to the toilet?" Also, when you wait with your wife Dunlun, the door is also open? ”

"Ahh

"Adult"

Everyone was shocked.

"I just said that you need to stay up at night, and I didn't say that you need to do the same when you wait to do these things, are you thinking too much?"

"But there are some common people"

"That's what you misinterpret my lordship, my lord, I only said that I don't close my door at night, and I don't have to hide any decisions from the common people, if you really deal with political affairs when you go to the toilet or bathe, then I'm afraid this habit will really have to be changed."

"My lord, when I go to bed?"

"Are there really common people going to see it?"

"My lord, there really is."

"That's a lot."

"Oh, so you don't want the common people to visit?"

"I don't want to."

"My lord, I haven't slept well in days."

"Except for sleeping, there is nothing else you feel you can't look at the common people? You have to think clearly. (To be continued......)
