Chapter 129: Those who come do not refuse
Boy!
It's really good.
Zhao Shuo was so excited that he almost clapped his hands and praised the palace.
"Gao Yu, you did a good job of the errand I gave you."
"You're my right-hand man."
"Your Majesty praises falsely, and the old minister shares his worries for His Majesty, which is already a blessing for three lives."
Today, Gao Yu didn't dare to hold it up.
After all, those officials also wrote a lot of songs, and the emperor was crazy about blacking him.
And the corrupt officials raised by those bitches have no bottom line and are even more shameless.
Gao Yu is really afraid that they will distort the facts, maliciously smear them, and charge themselves with a lot of trumped-up charges.
Therefore, he tried his best to be innocent and loyal in front of Zhao Shuo.
Zhao Shuo stopped talking, but fell into a long exam......
The omission of the redundant officials of the Great Song Dynasty brought a great benefit to the officials in the court.
So much so that in recent years, even the seven-grade petty officials the size of sesame grains have completed the accumulation of Yuanshi capital.
The industries of these officials like Chu Nangong involved, picking any one of them can make Zhao Shuo shocked.
To say that during the Northern Song Dynasty, a clear stream like Su Shi is estimated to be really a unique existence.
Now those officials in the temple are generally eating in the pot and are not disgusted enough, and they want to stare at the moths that the court gnaws to death!
When Song Huizong was in power, Cai Jing, one of the four King Kongs under him, was greedy for 70 million taels of silver.
What is this concept?
A total of more than 10 billion yuan has been corrupted!
In Tong Guan's hands, he will be even more able to play.
He is comparable to Heshen and Lord in the Qiankun period.
Tong Guan through the officials below, comprador to those rich businessmen in the people.
Countless people have entered the career through him.
And this strategy has been used for more than ten years.
How much has he been greedy over the years?
I'm afraid it's already a mystery.
So who is the member that Tong Guan brought up back then?
There will be no way to find out.
Tong Guan and Cai Jing are already cold.
However, the current corrupt officials and corrupt officials have not the slightest tendency to restrain themselves.
Instead, they hugged a group and openly confronted the system of the imperial court.
Fill your pockets, deceive and deceive.
Abuse of power for personal gain, public use for private purposes.
It has become the standard for scholars.
Now the matter of Chu Nangong directly involves more than 60 officials, big and small!
If it is to be thoroughly investigated, there will be many vacant positions in the court.
And they are all very important positions for people's livelihood.
For this reason, after dealing with daily things, Zhao Shuo couldn't take care of resting at night, he got up with a sad face, took the guard Qi Yu, and went directly to the prison of Wudesi.
"Your Majesty."
Gao Yu was napping at Wu Desi's office.
The Wucha around him urged him to say that the emperor was coming.
Gao Yu stood up and approached Zhao Shuo.
"Captain Gao has worked hard."
"Sharing worries for Your Majesty is what an old minister should do."
"Well, what about others?"
The person Zhao Shuo asked was of course Xue Jiande.
After all, most of the members on this roster were provided by him.
"Your Majesty, please come with the old minister."
Gao Yu took Zhao Shuo to the dimly lit cell.
At this time, Xue Jiande was like a wild dog covered in bruises, curled up on a pair of thatched grass in the cell.
He had been tortured for a day, and now at this time, the warriors finally went to eat and sleep.
Xue Jiande also rarely relaxed his vigilance, and was hovering and sleeping.
And snoring from time to time.
I thought back to my original plan to go to the Teaching Workshop Division to talk about life with my sister.
Now in the dark and damp cellar, I slept soundly.
Isn't this experiencing life?
"Your Majesty, this thief is asleep, and the old minister woke him up."
Gao Yu was about to make a move after speaking.
Xue Jiande over there hurriedly opened his eyes.
He didn't see the person clearly, but subconsciously panicked and said: "Don't hit me, what do you ask, I will cooperate, fully cooperate." ”
Apparently this guy has been beaten out of the psychological shadow.
Gao Yu coughed lightly, and said in a serious tone: "Your Majesty is here!" ”
Xue Jiande was stunned, and his worried eyes quickly looked at Zhao Shuo.
Sure enough, His Majesty came.
In the next second, Xue Jiande was like Meng Jiangnu possessed, and immediately cried bitterly: "Your Majesty! You're finally here, please be the master of Wechen, Wechen was beaten into a trick, and Wechen doesn't know anything. ”
Boy.
Instantly turned into a bending move?
Zhao Shuo looked at Gao Yu.
Gao Yu showed a righteous demeanor.
It seems to be saying: Lao Chen enforces the law impartially and has absolutely nothing to hide.
Zhao Shuo looked at Xue Jiande and asked, "Xue Aiqing, I know you, the number two person in Kaifeng Mansion, you and Li Yanhui had a disagreement before. ”
"No, no, Li Yanhui ......" Xue Jiande suddenly realized that his political opponent Li Yanhui was no longer what it used to be.
Li Yanhui is now the cabinet chief assistant of the Great Song Dynasty.
Cadres at the national level!
He, a third-grade official, can no longer be called by his name.
Therefore, Xue Jiande hurriedly changed his words: "Your Majesty, Lord Li has the grace of promoting and knowing the ministers, how can the ministers be at odds?" It must be that lawbreakers are stirring up from it, deliberately trying to destroy the relationship between Wei Chen and Master Li, so he said so. ”
Zhao Shuo nodded as if he didn't understand, and asked, "Let's get down to business, I just read your confession, are you true?" ”
"It's true! There is absolutely no lie in what Weichen said! Xue Jiande's head nodded like pounding garlic, as if he had forgotten how he 'shouted injustice' a second ago.
Then Xue Jiande said: "The officials who Weichen confessed have evidence, and they have had personal relations with Weichen before. ”
"Personal relationship?"
"Yes, they sell salt and iron ore and grain to Wechen, and we have made this partnership a personal relationship."
"What did they do with all that salt, iron, and grain?"
"Is it a gold thief? Or is it difficult to make a fortune by hoarding goods? ”
"Your Majesty, this Weichen is unknown."
"You don't know?" Zhao Shuo stared at Xue Jiande coldly.
Today he's going to pry open this guy's mouth anyway.
The reason is simple.
Xue Jiande confessed, but Zhao Shuo, as the emperor, had to hand over evidence in front of hundreds of officials when he enforced the law impartially.
Otherwise, he will dictate the will and directly arrest and behead people?
Wouldn't that scare the other innocent officials?
Zhao Shuo stared at Xue Jiande for a long time before asking, "Xue Jiande, I came to you today, I am already giving you a chance, I hope you cherish yourself." ”
Xue Jiande's head was raised violently.
He was speculating on the meaning of the emperor's words.
Zhao Shuo impatiently got straight to the point: "Let me tell you this, as long as you can provide conclusive evidence that echoes those corrupt officials, and I copy the family facts here, and the amount is probably commensurate, I will have the right to give you a light sentence, after all, you can be regarded as a criminal atonement." ”
This sentence is already the most clear thing Zhao Shuo said in the dungeon.
Since ancient times, there has been no joke.
