Hangzhou.

Gan Dashou, director of the Zhejiang Election Department, got the news of the collapse of Quzhou officialdom, sat for a long time, and finally spit out two words: "It's over!" ”

The selection and promotion of officials at all levels is only in charge of the county and above.

The provincial-level officials election hall can directly appoint officials below the seventh grade in Fuzhou and counties. If there is a vacancy in the officials below the fifth grade, they can directly appoint an agent. Officials from the seventh grade to the fifth grade can be recommended to the ministry and attached with a resume, and the ministry will decide whether to use it after review. Great power!

The duties of the officials of the bureau and the officials of Fuzhou County are similar to those of the officials' selection hall, and the officials who can manage them are of different grades.

Quzhou Prefecture was arrested so many county officials, and Gan Dashou was 100% held accountable.

This old man was born and arrested the chief soldier Yang Jiamo to seek refuge with Zhao Han. First to be the magistrate of Xiangshan, and then the governor of the same prefecture, the prefect, and the director of the official election department, step by step, he will be able to participate in politics (this official position has been restored, the deputy province in charge of specific affairs), and even transferred to the ministry to be the right attendant.

"Check!"

After losing his soul for a while, Gan Dashou suddenly stood up, slapped the table and shouted: "Zhejiang Election Hall, immediately self-check and self-correct, which bastard has collusion with Quzhou officialdom!" ”

can only make up for the loss, maybe one or two moths can be found, so that Gan Dashou can make up for it.

At the same time as the chickens and dogs were jumping in the election hall, Zhang Ruohai of the Zhejiang Clean Government Department was already about to cry. Of course, he had heard about the situation in Quzhou Mansion, but because of his poor face, he didn't think there was much of a problem.

Who would have thought that those guys would even break the sky and even forcibly seize the land of the peasants.

There was no way to think about it, Zhang Ruohai simply wrote a letter, hoping that Hu Dinggui could help intercede.

After writing a distress letter, Zhang Ruohai was even more depressed, and he quietly burned the letter. First, Hu Dinggui was in Liaodong, and Ma Yue could send the letter in the Year of the Monkey; Second, he knew the emperor's temper, and having important ministers plead for mercy was likely to have the opposite effect.

At the beginning of Hu Dinggui's army, he did a year's history of Nanchang, and Zhang Ruohai was a Nanchang county at that time.

Zhang Ruohai's friendship with Hu Dinggui is like Liu Anfeng and Chen Maosheng, and they can't be more iron. Since it is useless, Zhang Ruohai doesn't want to trouble his friends, and if Hu Dinggui is implicated, it will be even more impossible to clean up.

After burning the letter for help, Zhang Ruohai wrote another chapter, admitting that he was a vegetarian meal, but there was absolutely no corruption or bribery. He asked the emperor to thoroughly investigate the Zhejiang Integrity Department, and after the review was over, he would take the blame and resign.

Someone was sent to Nanjing, and Zhang Ruohai personally took action to seal all the files of the Anti-Corruption Department, and no one was allowed to come in and touch them.

He also restrained the officials of the Department of Integrity that no one should leave Hangzhou City for half a step unless they received an order from their superiors.

After doing all this, Zhang Ruohai guarded the archive room, slumped in a chair and felt like ashes.

He was born in a family of self-cultivated farmers, not to mention talent, not even a child, and he studied for a few years. If he hadn't rebelled with Zhao Han, he wouldn't have wanted to be an official for the rest of his life.

Now he is not only an official, but also a four-grade official, which is really glorifying his ancestors.

Zhang Ruohai, as the leader of Zhejiang's clean government system, knows how severely the imperial court investigates and punishes corrupt officials, so he never dares to be corrupt. But he didn't want to offend the central elder, so he chose to turn a blind eye to some things.

To put it bluntly, it's a mediocre official, it's a fool!

Now I'm fooling myself in.

Zhang Ruohai really wants to go back to those years, although there is only half of Jiangxi's territory, everyone is very enthusiastic and motivated. He took the officials and people of the county to fight the flood and disaster relief together, and the people supported them from the bottom of their hearts, and regarded themselves as the great masters of the blue sky who rescued the suffering.

How did it get to where it is now?

Zhang Ruohai remembered that when he was studying, he hated corrupt officials and mediocre officials, and now he has become a mediocre official.

Quzhou Mansion also knows Liu Anyong, and someone reported it two years ago, and Zhang Ruohai knew that there was something wrong with this person early on. But he just pretended not to know, completely became blind and deaf, and the officialdom of Quzhou was rotten to the end, and Zhang Ruohai was absolutely to blame.

……

Zhao Han said that Xiao Huan would try the case personally, but there was really no need for the head of the procuratorate to come forward.

So, the second-in-command of the Metropolitan Procuratorate came.

Hearing that it was Zou Guangdi who presided over the trial, Liu Anyong was directly stunned.

The bamboo tube is like pouring beans, what to say, dare not have a trace of concealment.

Zou Guangdi once killed people in Guangzhou, not only dealing with local officials, but also dealing with bribed businessmen, making the then Department of Integrity famous!

"How?" Zou Guangdi asked.

Dai Wenmeng replied: "I don't want to say anything, I've been working hard, and I guess I still want someone to save me." ”

Zou Guangdi said with a smile: "Didn't have any means? ”

"The general constitution is in person, what means do you still use?" Dai Wenmeng also laughed.

Although Zhao Han has repeatedly stressed that torture is not allowed. But this is impossible, whether it is black impermanence or white impermanence, or there are local departments, or there are still some invisible methods of extorting confessions.

Zou Guangdi walked into the interrogation room, and Zheng Hongyi was closing his eyes to recuperate.

Zou Guangdi pulled a bench and sat down, and said, "It's a pity for Zheng Langzhong. ”

Zheng Hongyi didn't react, and he didn't bother to open his eyes.

Zou Guangdi continued: "Zheng Langzhong is a well-known and good official in Nanjing, and has been awarded many times by His Majesty. People say that in less than ten years, Zheng Langzhong will be a scholar. It's a pity, it's a pity, I met such a father as you. ”

Zheng Hongyi finally spoke: "I am not guilty, all of them are clansmen who have broken the law, and at most I will be sentenced to not being strict in governing my family." As for the dog, it has nothing to do with him, he hasn't been back to Quzhou for several years. ”

Zou Guangdi said: "Your Majesty also knows that Zheng Langzhong has been wronged, but what you have done is too big, and you can only tear and kill the horse." Thinking of the old feelings, His Majesty still had room to refrain from Zheng Langzhong by five levels and throw him to Luzon to be a petty official. ”

"This matter has nothing to do with dogs, I want to see Your Majesty!" Zheng Hongyi became excited.

"You listen to me," Zou Guangdi sighed again, "Zheng Langzhong is innocent, how can he be stained?" With the emperor on one side and his father on the other, how should he deal with himself? Zheng Langzhong...... Alas! ”

Zheng Hongyi felt a little bad and asked, "What's wrong with my son?" ”

Zou Guangdi stared at each other and said word by word: "Hang...... Beam...... Self...... Exhaust! ”

It was as if the bones of his whole body had been torn down, and Zheng Hongyi collapsed there directly.

Zheng Hongyi is a "affectionate" person, even protecting his relatives from crimes, not to mention his most promising son.

His family was in the middle of the road, and he was repented of his marriage, and many ticket numbers came to collect debts at that time.

Zheng Hongyi asked for a grace period of repayment one by one, but only the Feng family agreed, and when he heard that he was going to rectify the business, Old Man Feng also lent him 500 taels.

After Zheng Hongyi made a comeback, he regarded Old Man Feng as a benefactor and asked to marry the granddaughter of the Feng family. He took great care of the Feng family, so his brother-in-law would protect him again and again, and even helped him clear his name of murder.

Now, the Zheng family is finished, and the Feng family is also finished.

Zou Guangdi said again: "You have harmed a lot of people, Li Ge Lao was robbed of his title, and Liu Shangshu resigned and returned to his hometown. The two of them were implicated for no reason, and their protégés and former officials will let you go of the Zheng family? Will you let go of the Feng family? ”

Zheng Hongyi's eyes were lost, and he looked at the wall in a daze, and his soul had already flown out of the sky.

The suicide of his son hit him too hard, and he was completely dead.

"I heard you smoke?" Zou Guangdi clapped his hands.

Someone brought in a smoking kit.

Zou Guangdi personally opened the cigarette pouch and put the tobacco into the bucket: "The best Nangan tobacco, do you want to take a sip?" ”

Zheng Hongyi subconsciously took the pipe, opened his mouth and bit it, waiting for Zou Guangdi to light a cigarette for him.

Zou Guangdi took out the fire knife from his arms and struck it a few times with a match, the match was quickly ignited, and he slowly rushed to the smoke pot.

The tobacco burned, Zheng Hongyi took two puffs, tears flowed down his cheeks, and he barely sat up straighter: "If you have anything to say, just ask." ”

Zou Guangdi nodded at Mei Zhuyou, who immediately began to study the ink.

"Crossing the border to mine iron ore and usurp the peasants' fields," Zou Guangdi asked, "who takes the silver in it?" ”

Zheng Hongyi said: "The government knows Liu Anyong. ”

"Only him?" Zou Guangdi confirmed.

Zheng Hongyi said: "He is the only one in the iron mine, and the other officials all take silver elsewhere." Give me the pen and I write it myself. ”

After a short time, he wrote down a list of officials.

Zou Guangdi asked again: "Are there any officials in Hangzhou who colluded with you?" ”

Zheng Hongyi said: "Hangzhou is too far away, and there are not many contacts. I have a nephew, I guess I was also arrested by you, he is a county magistrate in Longyou County. This official position gave Li Jihei, the official election division of Zhejiang, three hundred taels. Hu Yue of Zhejiang's Department of Integrity came to Quzhou Mansion early last year to inspect it. There were three of them, Hu Yue received 200 taels, and the other two received 100 taels each. The three of them often visit the West Lake Painting Boat, and the painting boat is mine. They invited people to swim in the lake, and I also paid for the cost of painting boats. ”

Zou Guangdi asked: "What about Zhang Ruohai, the hall of the Zhejiang Department of Integrity?" ”

Zheng Hongyi shook his head: "I haven't made friends." He was very cautious and did not meet with customers in private, nor did he receive merchants in the yamen. ”

Zou Guangdi asked: "Many Zheng family members, who became town mayors and village heads, also bought officials?" ”

Zheng Hongyi replied: "Wang Yi and Ouyang Fang from the Quzhou Prefecture Officials Selection Bureau, Pan Zhen and Hong Tai from the Xi'an County Officials Selection Department, Qin Zhensheng and Wang Huan from the Longyou County Officials Selection Department...... All these men have taken my money. ”

Zou Guangdi suddenly didn't ask about the content of the crime, but said curiously: "Over the years, I have also investigated many cases, and the perpetrators are nothing more than money. As far as I know, your ticket number, jewelry, and mines, even if they are operating normally and legally, are completely worthy of being a daily profit. You colluded with officials to do so many things, and you didn't seem to make any money, but instead put money into it, and even if you made money, it went into the pockets of your relatives. What are you doing these things for at the risk of killing your head? ”

Zheng Hongyi couldn't answer because he didn't know either.

After thinking for a long time, Zheng Hongyi said in an uncertain tone: "Perhaps, it's for the sake of majesty." No matter where you go, everyone has to be in awe, and everyone has to shout Zheng Ye. Relatives near and far all treat me as an ancestor, and if they don't settle the trouble, how else can I be an ancestor? ”

Zou Guangdi was speechless, it was the first time he had encountered such a main culprit.

did such a big thing and killed his son, everything was just for the sake of face.

Why bother?
