Chapter 21: A thorough investigation of Yunzhou

Qin Xiao was still angry and threatened: "What are you doing while staying here?" ”

"I will have people thoroughly investigate Chong County."

"How much tax has been paid for the harvest of Chong County over the years? How much tax revenue has been in Xu Mo's pocket, I have to check! ”

Soon, a large number of officials from the capital settled in Chong County.

Investigate all aspects of Chong County, taxation and finance, and all of them have been investigated.

And that's not all.

Qin Xiao also issued an order to thoroughly investigate all the officials in the entire Yunzhou and Chong County.

What Qin Xiao didn't expect was this.

Chong County's tax revenue is a big problem, and even Yunzhou has a tax problem!

According to the harvest, the grain that should have been handed over 800,000 koku was actually only 300,000 koku.

After receiving the report, Qin Xiaolongyan was furious.

"Yunzhou Governor Lu Bin! What an upright and selfless one!! ”

Qin Xiao's lungs were so angry that they were about to explode, and his eyes were full of fire staring at the paperwork of the report.

How many years?

I have been kept in the dark.

If it weren't for the coincidence, he saw it with his own eyes in Chong County, and he didn't know how long he would be deceived?

"Qingguan Lu Bin?!"

"And the Xu Mo who benefits the people?!"

Qin Xiao's eyes were extremely cold, and murderous aura surged out.

"Officials big and small in Yunzhou, put on death row!"

As soon as Chrysostom Yu's words came out, not only the entire Yunzhou shook, but the capital shook, and the world shook.

Your Majesty, this is going to kill!

Everyone in the world knows that the emperor hates corrupt officials the most in his life.

If such a big incident occurs, I don't know how many people will be implicated.

I'm afraid that the officials in the capital will be affected.

For a time, everyone in the officials was in danger.

In the capital.

Too many officials have sad faces.

I am afraid that the trial of the corruption case in Yunzhou will expand and affect myself.

"The emperor is furious, and he is about to fall to the ground again."

"Yes, Your Majesty has never tolerated corruption, and after investigating to the end, it seems that many people are going to lose their black hats."

"It's still a trivial matter to dismiss the official, but I'm afraid it's difficult to get out of it all."

"That prefect of Yunzhou, Lu Bin, has always loved the people like a son, and he is stern, how could he do such a foolish thing?"

"Hey, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs!"

Outside the imperial city, the officials waiting for the early dynasty were talking one after another.

At this time, the new prime minister Chen Yong also arrived.

"Prime Minister, what do you think of the case of the Yunzhou Prefect?"

Someone asked Chen Yong, Chen Yong stiffened his face and sneered: "I have met Lu Bin a few times, and this person still has some ability!" ”

"Who would have thought."

Chen Yong couldn't stop sighing, but he sneered in his heart.

Before, he thought about wooing Lu Bin for his own use, but Lu Bin refused without hesitation.

put on an awe-inspiring appearance of not forming a party for personal gain.

Secretly.

Even the imperial grain dares to be greedy?!

Hearing the news, Chen Yong was also surprised.

In a year, he was greedy for two or three hundred thousand stone of imperial grain.

This is still just found out.

There must be some that haven't had time to find out, and there are still from previous years, I don't know how many more.

However, the accident in the Yunzhou prefect is a good thing for Chen Yong's calculations.

With Emperor Qin Xiao's deep hatred of corruption, officials from top to bottom of Yunzhou will come to a big reckoning.

Yunzhou, located on the border, has always been the most important place in the Great Zhou.

Naturally, the military system will not move easily, but it can be seen that the civilian system is about to be replaced.

That's a good opportunity to install a confidant.

Chen Yong's heart blossomed.

Soon, it was time for the early dynasty.

Hundreds of officials entered the Jinluan Palace.

Sure enough, the topic in today's hall mainly revolves around the Yunzhou case.

Not only Chen Yong, but many people are staring at the location of Yunzhou.

Although Yunzhou is a little hard, it is highly valued by the imperial court there, and it often works for a few years, and it is promoted much faster than elsewhere.

It is the first choice for officials who are eager to rise to the top, and it is also a good opportunity to cultivate the layout of party henchmen.

Qin Xiao had a very bad temper today, his face was gloomy as water, and the civil and military officials felt depressed, and they didn't dare to come out.

The people bowed their heads, and no one spoke.

Qin Xiao's cold voice echoed in the main hall: "You love to chat, you should have heard of the big case in Yunzhou." ”

"Up and down Yunzhou, hundreds of officials are actually working together to be corrupt, which is really an eye-opener for me, and I am deeply shocked!"

"What do you think is going to do with it?"

But under Qin Xiaosenran's gaze, no one dared to speak.

Only Chen Yong, who was at the forefront, stood up:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lu Bin, the prefect of Yunzhou, should be taken to the court and interrogated in public to set an example!"

"Let this man tell in front of the Manchu civil and military how he committed such an unforgivable felony."

Chen Yong's suggestion was immediately echoed by many ministers.

"Please ask Your Majesty to personally interrogate Lu Bin in public."

"His sins must be exposed!"

These words were deeply in line with Qin Xiao's heart, and he immediately agreed.

When Lu Bin, the prefect of Yunzhou, was brought to His Royal Highness, he was wearing prison clothes, his hair was scattered, and his whole body exuded a stench.

dragging the iron shackles on his body, in the sound of a bang, Lu Bin trembled and knelt down.

"Sinner, knock to your majesty."

Qin Xiao's face was expressionless, barely suppressing the anger in his heart.

"Lu Bin, I want to ask you, is it true that Yunzhou has underpaid 300,000 stone taxes and grain in recent years?"

Lu Bin fell to the ground and didn't dare to look up.

"Your Majesty, it's true."

Seeing Lu Bin happily confessing his guilt.

Not only did Qin Xiao not feel relieved a little, but his face became even more gloomy and ugly.

"Lu Bin! You've disappointed me. ”

"I have always thought that you are fair and honest, a big clean official, a good official."

"I never thought that behind the scenes, you would be a big corrupt official!"

Qin Xiao was angry, and even more disappointed.

Even an official like Lu Bin, whom he deeply trusts, is corrupt and perverts the law.

Who in the entire court can be trusted?!

Lu Bin lowered his head and did not argue.

Qin Xiao saw him bowing his head and confessing his guilt, but he became even more angry:

"Tell me clearly, where did all the tax grain go? And how many people are with you?! ”

He had to figure out how Lu Bin swallowed such a huge sum of money without knowing it.

Lu Bin replied tremblingly: "If you go back to Your Majesty, then the rest of the tax grain will be stored in the Yunzhou Grain Depot." ”

"In Yunzhou Grain Depot?!"

Qin Xiao's face was incredulous, and he asked in disbelief.

"All there? Killing a lot with one stone?! ”

Lu Bin lowered his head: "Exactly." ”

Hearing such a result, Qin Xiao slightly dissipated some of his anger.

The civil and military officials never imagined that this would be the result.

However, this still can't change the fact that Lu Bin is a corrupt official.

Qin Xiao's mood improved, and his tone calmed down a lot.

"Then tell me, since it's all imperial grain, why don't you hand it over to the imperial court, but it is stored in the granary of Yunzhou?"
