Didn't Kangxi know about Suo Etu's corruption?

No, he was in the know.

But he is not the Kangxi of the past, he has been in power for more than 20 years and has been reforming for more than 10 years.

His jealous and hateful nature has long been wiped out by checks and balances.

Otherwise, Suo Etu would have no chance of survival.

Now Kangxi just sees it in his eyes, remembers it in his heart, and waits for the reckoning together.

But was it still useful back then?

Those who were victimized by corrupt officials were either dead or maimed?

Is killing a corrupt official what the people want to see?

No, although they are happy that the corrupt officials have been killed, they want to go back to the time before they were not injured.

Even if you are poor, even if your life is hard.

But people are normal, they can earn, they can support their families.

Instead of being like after the fact, the dead are dead, the wounded are wounded, and the crippled are disabled.

Kangxi's approach may be right from the perspective of the superiors, but on the side of the people, he is an accomplice.

Who wants to let go of the hatred of their enemies?

On this day, the news of the theft of a large amount of money from Suo'etu's mansion soon spread throughout the imperial city.

Of course, there was also the help of thieves, otherwise the news would not have gotten out.

On the first-class public house.

Suo Etu was watching the guards being punished, and the expression on his face was very distorted.

"Give the official a heavy blow, so a lot of property, the official doesn't believe that he was moved without any movement in one night, there must be someone conspiring inside and out."

Distressed?

Heart-wrenching.

I felt sorry for him.

"Yes." The executioner responded loudly, fearing that he would be wrongfully accused.

And the families who were beaten had already had less air in and more air out.

Lying there one by one, there was no movement at all, as if he knew his next fate, and accepted his fate.

But no matter how Suo Etu beat and punished, these family members shouted and blamed, because they really didn't know how those people moved the things in a warehouse overnight, and there was no movement at all.

"My lord, it's dead." The steward of the superintendent came to Suo Etu's side and said tremblingly.

Suo Etu glared at him, "Pull it out and feed the dogs, useless things." ”

Punishment was punished, beatings were beaten, and death was dead.

But there was no news at all.

At this moment, a family member hurriedly ran in from outside.

"Master, it's not good."

The housekeeper ran in panting, shouting that it was not good.

This remark made Suo Etu angry again, "Presumptuous, you're not good, your whole family is not good, Master Ben is fine." "When he got up, he kicked him on the family.

"Master spare your life, spare your life, it's not good outside, when someone comes to report, the theft of our family has spread throughout the imperial city, and it is said that our family has lost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver."

The family is afraid of death, even if it hurts, the news does not dare to delay, for fear that the master will trouble him afterwards.

"What?"

Sure enough, when he heard the news, Suo Etu couldn't get angry, so he immediately stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter, come quickly." ”

It turned out that after Suo Etu found out that his home had been stolen early in the morning, he immediately asked the housekeeper to go to the Imperial City Mansion Yin to report the case, and also ordered him to find out the lost things in the mansion within three days.

Fu Yin is also an agitated spirit, such a large amount of money, he reported it to the Criminal Department as soon as possible, no way, the Imperial City is this good, as soon as a major event happens, it will be reported to the Criminal Department, who will let them get close.

That Fu Yin is really a smart person.

Xiao Lizi's people kept staring at Suo Etu's mansion, and when he saw that Fu Yin was moving, he asked people to spread the news as soon as possible.

I have to say that this person under Xiao Lizi is a clever man.

"Presumptuous, who dared to report to him." Suo Etu was about to be angry with Nafu Yin.

If he could report it, would he not go himself?

What an idiot.

"Go, talk to the criminal department, and say that the things were not lost, and the family made a mistake." That thing is unsightly, and if it makes a big scene, his official hat may not be able to keep it.

Although his money has something to do with the palace, on the whole, the relationship is not too big.

Alas, repentance.

I would have known that ...

"What are you doing standing here, go ahead." Suo Etu was in a hurry.

It's a pity that no matter how anxious he is, it's useless, because the news spreads faster and faster, and the more evil it becomes.

No, it was rumored that the silver lost in the Hesheri Mansion was the silver money for disaster relief in the first half of the year.

Although this matter is known to everyone in officialdom, the people don't know it.

When I heard that there were such a big corrupt officials in the imperial city, they were all more anxious than the emperor.

Some of them were in a hurry and went to the Hesheri Mansion with rotten leaves.

Before noon, Kangxi received the news.

Inside the Qianqing Palace.

Kangxi angrily smashed the fold in his hand.

He never thought that Suo Etu would be so bold and embezzle so much.

No wonder Jiangnan has been saying that the relief is not enough, is this possible?

No amount of people he gave to those people was enough.

"Bring Suo Etu to me into the palace, I want to see if his heart is black and dares to do such a bold thing."

Kangxi will not directly order Suo Etu to be executed if he is angry.

After Kangxi, who was deeply angry, drank a cup of cold tea, he asked the ministers to come into the palace to discuss the matter.

If you don't invite them, you won't be able to invite those people and come by yourself, and even he will have to eat the head of the row when the time comes, and Chen Jingting will not let him go as the emperor first.

Alas.

An hour later, the Qianqing Palace was full of civil and military ministers.

And in the midst of them knelt Suo-Etu.

The crown prince and the eldest brother were also called.

The eldest brother looked at the show, but the prince's anxious face was covered with cold sweat.

On a hot day, it was really hard for him to break out in a cold sweat.

"Suo Etu, what else do you have to quibble?" Kangxi looked at the fold handed over by the Criminal Department, and wanted to kill people angrily.

He was even more angry that there was evidence from the Punishment Department, and he didn't hand it to him as soon as possible.

Looking at the Shangshu of the Criminal Department is an eye knife.

The secretary of the criminal department is not afraid, if he is afraid, he will not serve as the secretary of the criminal department for many years.

"Back to the emperor, the evidence is conclusive, and Suo Etu should be beheaded." Chen Jingting, who was the head iron, said.

Kangxi's mouth twitched, this is also an old minister, but his jealous and hateful temperament has not changed for many years.

"Elder Chen, please wait until I find out the truth before punishing him." Kangxi could only speak to appease him, otherwise he would be the one who fought with him and suffered in the end.

Chen Jingting was unwilling, but another minister beside him grabbed him, and Chen Jingting looked back, it was his friend.

After seeing him snort, Chen Jingting closed his mouth.

Kangxi saw that he was silent, and the anger in his heart dissipated a little.

Except for the fact that Chen Lao is a little straighter, the rest is still very good, and he also respects himself as an emperor.

"The emperor and his ministers have been wronged." Suo Etu knew that he couldn't deal with this matter no matter what, and if he was convicted, then let alone assisting the prince, he didn't know if he could save his life.

Embezzlement and embezzlement of disaster relief money are two different things.

In order to give an explanation to the people, his life is the best explanation for the emperor.

Hello everyone in the new January.
