When the Dengwen drum in Anning County was beaten, someone was gently knocking on the table in the study of the Lanzhou Ducha Yushi Mansion.

"Lord Cai, calm down, don't be angry, the corrupt officials in the world can't be caught, and a group of greedy people are caught and a group of more greedy ones are behind. Our duty is to catch out these corrupt officials in an endless stream and purge the emperor of the government. ”

Behind the desk, a young man with cold eyebrows and a cold voice frowned, coldly bent his two fingers and knocked on the table, reminding the indignant middle-aged man in front of him - Lanzhou Ducha Yushi Cai Weizhou.

Cai Weizhou was stunned, realizing that he had just been too excited and too rude, so he hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Master Yuanshi, please forgive the official for being rude just now." ”

"It's okay," the young man sitting on the circle chair waved his hand casually, leaned back in the chair and said indifferently, "You continue." ”

Casual and casual is like being in your own study.

"Yes." Cai Weizhou was respectful, and his tone was indeed much calmer.

"This Gansu province is located in the northwest, the land is barren, and there are Western Turks in the west, and they invade every year. The people are really miserable, but even so, there are still officials who wantonly loot the people, and even make the people bankrupt. ”

"For example, I learned that Bai Luo, the county magistrate of Anning County, not only collects dry dividends from the shops under his rule, and the people who fish and flesh, but also asks for money from the people who come to the lawsuit, and whichever side gives more than two silver will help which side, so that now no one in Anning County dares to go to the county government to submit the complaint, and the shops will tremble as long as they see the county magistrate, like seeing a tiger and a wolf."

"It's not too much to hang such a corrupt official ten times!" Cai Weizhou became excited again as he spoke, with a look of righteous indignation on his face, "A small county magistrate dares to be corrupt like this, let alone a higher-ranking official." ”

For example, Fan Jun, a grain storage road in Gansu, according to his subordinates, more than 20 officials from top to bottom deceived their superiors and subordinates to enrich their own pockets when collecting grain. The bucket used in the grain collection should be bigger than the bucket on the market, Fan Jun and his party actually smoothed the tip of the rice bucket for collecting grain in private, and deliberately whipped off a few handfuls of grain every time they weighed it, and then they wiped off the bucket grain and resold it privately. ”

"When it was time to transport, these people reported the loss of rice and grain transported by each village and the imperial court into the loss, so that they could reduce the amount of grain in the warehouse."

"According to reliable sources, Fan Jun and his entourage have been doing this for eight or nine years, and all kinds of calculations have been made, and the entire Northwest Grain Storage Road has wiped out a huge amount of grain in this way in the past eight or nine years."

"Can you find out how they sold such a large amount of food? Who's next? Can there be evidence such as ledgers? Behind the desk, Shi Liuzhiran, the young president of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, quietly listened to Cai Weizhou's story, and cut off his words and asked to the point.

Cai Weizhou was ashamed of his head, "It was the dereliction of duty of the lower officials, so he didn't get any evidence." ”

"However, although there is no evidence among the subordinates, it can be determined that more than 20 officials such as Fan Jun are greedy for ink and food."

"If there is no evidence, you can't be convicted," Liu Zhiran stared coldly at Cai Weizhou in front of him, "This is the rule of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, you should know." ”

"Yes, Xia Guan knows, it is Xia Guan who is reckless." Cai Weizhou lowered his head in shame and admitted his mistake.

"Since there is no evidence, go find the evidence, the case of the grain storage road, you continue to follow up." Liu Zhiran finished scolding Cai Weizhou, but continued.

Cai Weizhou raised his head in surprise and promised with a straight face, "Yes, my lord." ”

"Also, the county magistrate of Anning County, do you have any evidence at hand?"

"Yes, the small ones have been organized into a dossier, and this will be presented to the adults."

"Well, the dossier will then be handed over to Hua Qian. This time, I was ordered by the emperor to inspect the northwest, and when I passed by Anning County, I would check it. Liu Zhiran said as he got up.

Cai Weizhou, who is known as a noble and arrogant outside, is unusual, and bends down diligently to open the closed study door for Liu Zhiran.

The two men in cyan robes standing outside the door of the study immediately followed behind Liu Zhiran.

"I'm on a micro-service visit this time, so as not to be seen by others, you don't have to go far to the door." Liu Zhiran stopped and turned back to Cai Weizhou, who followed.

"Yes, Master Yuanshi." Cai Weizhou still sent it to the gate of the courtyard of the study before he stopped, bowed his head respectfully and saluted Liu Zhiran.

It wasn't until Liu Zhiran walked out of the courtyard of the study that Cai Weizhou looked up at Liu Zhiran's distant back, with a light of reverence in his eyes.

This Liu Zhiran Yuan history is the first Sanyuan and the first since the founding of the Dazhou Dynasty.

At the age of twenty-three, he was appointed by the emperor as the champion, and directly entered the Hanlin Academy, which should have been in the Hanlin Academy for a few years of seniority and then slowly experienced the road to the university, but this Liu Zhiran was on the emperor's table, asking to enter the Imperial Procuratorate, for the emperor to clean up the officials, at that time, corruption emerged in an endless stream all over the country, the people complained, the emperor was greatly appreciated and moved, and Liu Zhiran was transferred to the left deputy capital of the imperial history, from the three products.

After Liu Zhiran took office, he cracked the Jiangnan imperial examination fraud case, the river corruption case and the imperial tomb corruption case.

The three cases were all major and important cases, and more than 200 officials were dismissed.

The whole country was a sensation, and the people praised it.

Liu Zhiran was also promoted four levels in a row, from the left deputy capital of the imperial history from the third grade, to the right capital of the imperial history within two years, and then to the left capital of the imperial history, and finally directly promoted to the highest level of the Metropolitan Inspection Academy.

It is said that when he was handling the case, he encountered at least a dozen assassinations, all of which he repeatedly evaded, and Liu Zhiran was almost seriously injured and died the last time.

However, even so, Liu Zhiran still insisted on handling the case and had no tolerance for corrupt officials.

The assassination of Liu Zhiran caused the emperor to be angry, and Qin gave his two secret guards to protect Liu Zhiran, which made all the assassinations dare not appear again.

Originally, the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate was an unlucky character.

Because of his constitutional duties, he often hears about things, so he offends the officials in the court a lot, and the emperor is also tired of the Metropolitan Procuratorate having nothing to do all day long.

It's really that grandma doesn't love her uncle and doesn't love her, and she is excluded by everyone everywhere, and even Yu Lu is often deliberately deducted by the household department.

But now, under the leadership of Liu Zhiran, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has changed its previous scumbags and mouths, and has gradually fallen silent in the court. Usually it is not easy to speak, but as long as you open your mouth, it must be conclusive evidence, and as soon as you make a move, an official will definitely fall from power.

There are also a few times when he is a member of the second and third grades of the imperial court.

If this is the case several times, the officials above the court gradually changed their attitude towards the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and everyone changed from hating and disgusting to hating and fearing the Metropolitan Procuratorate; And the emperor's boredom with the Metropolitan Procuratorate has changed from the original boredom to the importance.

Now the Metropolitan Procuratorate has become sinister in the eyes of everyone in the court, and everyone talks about color change.

However, the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are no longer as hungry and stubborn as before, but wherever they go, the officials are diligent and careful, and the household department is even more careful to please them, as long as the application of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is preferred.

The emperor also attaches unprecedented importance to them, and treats everyone in the Metropolitan Procuratorate very seriously.

All of these are the changes that Liu Zhiran has brought to them under the leadership.

Now they can finally straighten their backs with pride wherever they go, even if the eyes that look at them behind them are hateful and fearful.

But so what?

They are upholding justice, and only corrupt officials with demons in their hearts will fear them.

The officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are proud of this and proud of Liu Zhiran!
