Chapter 58: The Xuancheng Corruption Case
In the recent Xuancheng corruption case, she heard Qiu Yue say that among the corrupt people, there is a person who is supported by the Three Highnesses, and the corruption is also with the acquiescence of the Three Highnesses, and the money is collected for the Three Highnesses.
Now that some people have gone to the capital to complain, the corruption cannot be hidden.
His Majesty didn't expect that Xuancheng, which is less than 100 miles away from the capital, dared to go under his nose, the officials of Xuancheng grew up from childhood to adulthood, and the officials protected each other, and they were all corrupt for three years!!
His Majesty was furious, and handed over the matter to the regent, and gave the regent great power, as long as he was sure that he had embezzled more than 10,000 taels, he would be beheaded on the spot, and he would write a letter afterwards.
The Third Highness wanted to try to protect the other party, and he couldn't let the people who followed him chill.
It's a pity that I don't know how far the regent has investigated, and His Royal Highness didn't dare to act easily, lest he be touched by the regent.
When Chunmei heard that she still had to inquire about the regent, her face suddenly changed, she looked up at Su Ruowei suddenly, knelt down with a plop, and spoke in a miserable voice.
"Second Miss, you let the slave and maid keep an eye on the princess, this matter is not difficult, but if you want the slave and maid to inquire about the regent, the slave and maid can't do this."
"The rules of the Regent's Mansion are very strict, and the subordinates in different courtyards are not allowed to tell others what happened in their courtyards at will, otherwise important news will be leaked, and the light ones will be sold, and the worst ones will be killed."
When Chunmei said the word cane, her face turned pale, and her body couldn't stop trembling.
There is a subordinate in the regent palace who met a fellow villager some time ago, and when the fellow saw the fellow, he naturally had endless words, and under the praise of the other party, he accidentally said things in the palace.
I thought that the fellow came from the countryside, and the problem should not be big, but I didn't expect that the fellow was indeed a fellow, but the fellow was a subordinate in the mansion of a certain high-ranking official in the capital, and he deliberately came to set up news.
The news of betraying the master, this is something that the regent palace will never tolerate, so the other party was directly killed with a cane.
The housekeeper also called all the subordinates in the palace to watch, and came to make an example of the monkeys.
She was with everyone at the time, watching a person being beaten alive until she died, her eyes widened, and she had nightmares every time she remembered that scene in the past few days, where did she dare to hit the Lord Regent.
Su Ruowei frowned when she heard this, she knew that the rules of the Regent Mansion were strict, but she didn't expect the rules of the Regent Mansion to be so strict.
No wonder His Royal Highness said that there was no way to place people in the Regent's Palace, even if they were lucky enough to be inserted, they would be dealt with in a few days.
She originally thought that the Third Highness had tried to calculate that Su Qianxi had failed to do their eyeliner, and that she could help him from somewhere else, but it seemed that her idea was destined to fail.
"That's it, you can do this matter, if you can find out any useful news, I will be rewarded, if you can't find out, forget it."
Su Ruowei is not embarrassed by Chunmei, after all, Chunmei is the only eyeliner she has placed next to Su Qianxi, and no one can replace her yet, so naturally she can't be easily broken.
In the private room next door, Qingzhu listened to the movement next door and relayed it word by word.
"Princess, Su Ruowei wants Chunmei to spy on you, and she wants Chunmei to spy on the prince, and wants to know about the Xuancheng corruption case."
Although Su Ruowei cautiously asked Dongyu to check whether anyone was passing by at the door, or whether anyone was eavesdropping, she ignored the open windows in the house.
That is Qingzhu deliberately spent money, before Su Ruowei arrived, let the shopkeeper go in to see, if it is not opened, open it when the tea is served, with Chunmei's brain, he will definitely not suspect that there is a problem with this move.
After all, Su Ruowei's private room is close to the street, and some people just like to sit there and open the window to watch the scenery outside.
And Su Qianxi and the others are next door, Su Ruowei and their normal speaking voices, Qingzhu can hear them clearly when she stands by the window.
"The Xuancheng corruption case?"
Su Qianxi was not surprised that Su Ruowei would let Chunmei spy on her, and at this moment, her attention was attracted by the Xuancheng corruption case.
She had a vague impression of this.
The Xuancheng corruption case does not seem to be as simple as official corruption.
She vaguely remembered that Mo Zechen was ordered to investigate, but she didn't know what happened in the middle, and when she came back, several people died, and Mo Zechen was also injured a lot, and she woke up after being in a coma for half a month.
During that time, the atmosphere in the Regent's Palace was very heavy.
It's a pity that in her previous life, she was full of fear of Mo Zechen, not to mention taking the initiative to ask what happened specifically, and it was too late to hide from him, so she didn't know what happened.
She only knew that after the Xuancheng case, all the officials in Xuancheng were beheaded for public display, all family property was confiscated, the adult men in the family were also executed, and the old, young, women and children were exiled to the frontier and were never allowed to leave the frontier for half a step.
This result is clearly incorrect.
As long as there are no casualties in the embezzlement case, if it is found out, it is only dismissed from the official position, and the scientific examination cannot be carried out within three generations, and the embezzled money needs to be doubled and returned, otherwise it will be punished or exiled.
The corrupt officials who need to be beheaded are the ones who have led to the deaths of the people in the process of corruption.
But there are so many officials in Xuancheng, big and small, they can't all kill people, right?
Judging from the clues she knows, the case of corruption in Xuancheng is definitely not simple.
Thinking of this, Su Qianxi raised his head, "Qingzhu, do you know when the prince will leave for Xuancheng?" ”
She only has a vague impression of many memories in her previous life, and she basically can't remember the specific time, so she can only ask Qingzhu if she knows.
"Huh?"
Qingzhu was a little stunned by Su Qianxi's question, and it took a long time to come back to his senses and shake his head.
"I don't know, the prince transferred me to serve by the princess's side, and I have limited information about the prince."
After all, her main responsibility now is to take care of the princess, and the prince's affairs have little to do with what she is going to do now, so naturally no one will specifically inform her.
"Let's go, let's go back and ask the prince when he will go to Xuancheng, and I will go too."
Su Qianxi looked downstairs and saw Su Ruowei and Chunmei leaving, so she spoke.
"Princess, the prince is going to do business, not to play."
When Qingzhu heard this, he frowned and reminded.
"I know, I'm not trying to play, I'm here to help."
Su Qianxi said in a serious tone.
Qingzhu didn't believe it, but seeing that Su Qianxi insisted, he didn't say anything, anyway, the prince would definitely refuse.
At that time, the princess was rejected by the prince, and she gave up.
Su Qianxi took Qingzhu and hurried home, but was told by the housekeeper that Mo Zechen had not come back since he went out today, so he could only wait in Mo Zechen's yard.
She's going to get this done today.
