Daxianguan

Chapter 481 Wind Direction
The matter of Wacheng was quickly found out under the leadership of Chu Xian, the governor, and Li Ji, the long history. Except for Zhan Wende, the big shopkeeper of the Deruixiang Chamber of Commerce in Wacheng, who committed suicide in fear of crime, the people involved in the case in Wacheng Officials were all dismissed, and the charges were reported to Hajj in detail.

Soon, the official department, supervision department, Yushitai, and criminal department of the Holy Dynasty all sent officials. After all, there were too many officials who committed crimes this time, and [-]% of the officials in Wacheng fell.

In the officialdom, this is simply a major earthquake. Although it is only a small city, this incident is too typical. Tax evasion occurs everywhere, but it is not a serious problem.In addition, the collusion between government and businessmen, officials accepting bribes, and more or less [-]% of officials in a city have received money, this is a big deal.

Another point, this matter was caused by Chu Xian.

If I were someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't have this kind of influence, but Chu Xian is different. Chu Xian is so famous that there are almost no literati in the world who don't know Chu Xian's name. I am studying Chu Xian's works.

Therefore, since Chu Xian revealed this incident, it would be difficult for officials from all over the country not to pay attention.

Moreover, this matter was also a hot topic at the court meeting, but at the court meeting, some people supported it, and some people felt that Chu Xian was a little too reckless in handling things.

"It is indeed necessary to strictly investigate and deal with tax evasion and money evasion, but we must also pay attention to methods and methods. Chu Xian's actions are known to the whole world. If people don't know, they will think that the officials of the Holy Dynasty are so corrupt."

At the court meeting, an official finally couldn't help but fired at Chu Xian.

At the moment, there are many responders.

Some really think that this matter is a bit too forceful, some are fishing in troubled waters, and some have evil intentions.

"Also, according to reports from Liangzhou, the principal culprit was a treasurer of the local chamber of commerce, and he actually committed suicide in prison in fear of crime. Forget it? What's more, he is in custody, how can he die? Let alone commit suicide? This matter is the dereliction of duty of the governor of Liangzhou."

Someone started to bring a new vane.

Of course, there are also people who support Chu Xian.

"According to the law of the holy pilgrimage, what is wrong with investigating corrupt officials? Could it be said that if a problem is discovered, the investigation is not allowed? If you are concerned about this and that in everything, what are you doing?" An official was very angry. Open your mouth and say.

"Who said we can't investigate? Can we do it secretly? Could it be that the city must be full of troubles? I heard that hundreds of red gold troops were dispatched at that time, and the people in the whole city knew about it. In this way, how can we hide it?" Stay." An official said coldly.

The official just now was dissatisfied and said: "So what if we know? This kind of thing should be known to the world."

"Nonsense, then you are irresponsible. You know, some things can be said, and some things have to be hidden. More than [-]% of the officials in a city accept bribes. If this kind of thing breaks out, what do the people think? They will I feel that this may be the case at all levels of government in the holy dynasty, so let me ask you, is this influence considered bad, is it a good thing or a bad thing?" The man was also angry and started to fight.

In this way, if you say something and I say something, it will be a quarrel.

None of the officials of the Shoufu Pavilion on the cloud seat made a sound. At this time, Da Sikong whispered to Xiao Yu who was beside him: "At the court meeting, I haven't heard anyone quarreling for some days. This person quarreled, and I really miss it."

Xiao Yu smiled wryly.

At the pilgrimage meeting, opinions from all sides can be expressed. It is not a monopoly, and since the ancestors of Taizong, it has been advocating the contention of a hundred schools of thought at the pilgrimage meeting. Anyone who has ideas and opinions can put forward them.

No problem even if it is noisy.

Because there are some things, if you don't argue, you may not be able to argue about the reason.

Xiao Yu asked in a low voice at this time: "Lord Sikong, what do you think of this matter?"

Da Sikong smiled and said: "I don't know the specific situation, but I still think that Chu Xian will not let me down."

Xiao Yu understood.

Obviously, even Da Sikong felt that Chu Xian's handling of this matter was a little insufficient, that is, the momentum was too great, and it was known all over the city.

It was because of this that Da Sikong said that he believed that Chu Xian would not be disappointed. He believed that Chu Xian must have a countermeasure, and if not, there should be a way to reverse the situation.

Xiao Yu nodded, and Da Sikong said, "What about Xiao Zhongshu, what do you think?"

Xiao Yu's answer over there was also quite straightforward: "There is no problem with Chu Xian's handling of this matter."

Da Sikong's eyes lit up, as if he realized something, he wanted to ask, but in the end he didn't ask anything.

The quarrel at the pilgrimage meeting was still going on, all parties had their reasons, and no one could convince anyone, but everyone knew that if they violated the pilgrimage law, they must be dealt with.

Therefore, those corrupt officials should be killed, locked up, and exiled. No one has any objection to this point, and no one dares to object.

But on whether Chu Xian handled this matter properly, and whether to give Chu Xian credit for this matter, the conflict became serious.

Some people said that Chu Xian should be credited, but some people said that Chu Xian acted recklessly, and that if he didn't punish him, it would be a favor.

In the end, it was the immortal official at the level of Shoufu Pavilion who spoke.

It was Yang Zhenqing who spoke, and his opinion was very simple. Chu Xian had made meritorious deeds in handling the major corruption case in Liangzhou, so he was neither rewarded nor punished.

Everyone thought that Xiao Yu Zhongshu might sing the opposite tune. After all, many people knew that Chu Xian belonged to the Zhongshu Department of officials, but what was surprising was that Xiao Yu didn't say a word, and actually acquiesced.

This time, no one objected.

Since the immortal officials at the Shoufu Pavilion level have reached a consensus, it is useless for them to quarrel.

Moreover, Yang Zhenqing's handling method actually neutralizes the opinions of all parties, and everyone can accept it, so it is the most appropriate, and of course no one will object.

But some people felt that it was not worth it for Chu Xian.

This time Chu Xian undertook the big corruption case under pressure. Even if there was too much noise during the handling process and the principal culprit died in prison, it is undeniable that it is imperative to investigate and deal with corruption. OK thing.

Many officials dare not investigate. One is afraid that they will not be found out and they will be beaten up. Some are aware that all aspects are involved and are afraid of offending others. After the rain, the grass grows again, and a similar situation occurs again, and it will definitely be more secretive and difficult to detect.

So it can only be within the scope of control. Even if some officials accept benefits, most of them just turn a blind eye and close one eye, and will not really pursue it.

In short, this pilgrimage has come to fruition.

When the news came back to Liangzhou, Chu Xian nodded after hearing the news. The result was as he expected.

But then Chu Xian laughed.

"I'm afraid they don't know that this is just the beginning."

Chu Xian muttered to himself.

The Deruixiang Chamber of Commerce lost a Zhan Wende and lost the interests of a city. They may not give up, but even if they do, Chu Xian will not let go.

Chu Xian's goal is the entire Liangzhou, not a mere city of Wa.

Of the sixteen cities and lands in Liangzhou, what's the use of just rectifying Qizong?

Although Xiao Yu Zhongshu didn't know the specific situation in Liangzhou, but asking for money from the Ministry of Households every year, it showed that Liangzhou's tax revenue was too poor. There was definitely something wrong with it. Since Chu Xian was sent to Liangzhou, the implication was Let Chu Xian solve this problem.

How much can be solved depends on Chu Xian's ability.

Knowing this, Chu Xian must try his best to handle this matter well, even if it is for his own career.

At this time, Li Ji, the chief minister, handed over the results of the officials involved in the Wacheng case to Chu Xian. This could only be implemented after Chu Xian, the governor, nodded.

Chu Xian picked it up and looked at it. Xie Sanhe, the former chief secretary of Wacheng, and Jiang Yan, the former supervisor of the mutual market, these two are the main criminals. The sum of money collected over the past few years has reached 50 taels.

Naturally, this kind of principal offender is to be executed directly. Of course, the soul will not be destroyed, but in the same way, his soul will be handed over to the ghost messenger of the underworld, and at the same time, the crime will be passed on, so that the underworld will deal with it according to the laws of the underworld. them.

I believe that these sinners will not feel better when they go to the underworld.

There are more than a dozen officials who are also going to be executed, and more are being imprisoned and exiled.

Naturally, all the family properties of these officials were confiscated. There is no problem with these. Chu Xian can pass directly, but there is only one problem.

What is the ownership of the confiscated property, including silver.

It says that the silver must belong to the Ministry of Accounts.

Seeing this, Chu Xian frowned.

"Li Changshi, I can't pass this." As he spoke, Chu Xian threw the file in his hand on the table.

Li Ji was stunned for a moment, thinking that something was wrong, he quickly picked it up to have a look, but he didn't see anything, so he asked cautiously: "Master Inspector, what's wrong with this?"

Chu Xian said directly: "The offenders in Wacheng are under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou. Naturally, the search should also be led by the state government. But it said that it was the Ministry of Households who wanted to send people to search the property of the offenders. The governor disagrees."

Li Ji understood.

At the moment, he looked helpless: "Lord Inspector, I have also said this matter, but the Ministry of Household Affairs... is very tough. After all, we cannot fall out with the Ministry of Household Affairs because of this matter."

"But we can't let the household department bully us. The state capital is short of money. The stolen money is the tax money that the state government should collect. Even if it is not, the household department can't take it away. If you are embarrassed to tell them, I will Go talk to them." Chu Xian was obviously very tough on this matter.

Li Ji laughed dryly, and then said: "I also think that you are right, Mr. Governor, but it is not wise to offend the Ministry of Households because of this matter."

Chu Xian smiled: "Even if it's an offence, we have to get this sum of money. We have this sum of money, and many things will be easier to handle. Now go and collect the criminal's stolen money and bring my guards with you." Chu San, take another hundred military guards from the state capital, and the officials of the household department, and I will hold them back."
