reborn son

Chapter 700
Mr. Zhen Guo has a thick skin, and he always accepts all compliments from others, but this time he fell into a pit after accepting it.

"That's right, the son I gave birth to is the best." Duke Zhen raised his chin proudly, showing his nostrils.

"Hehe, is that right? How did you get born, the function is good."

The embarrassing left minister made fun of Lord Zhen Guo, laughed out loud at one sentence, looked at Duke Zhen's lower body, and praised him.

Zhen Guogong made a black face on the spot, pointed at the left minister and shouted: "I didn't expect you to be such a left minister!"

"There are so many things you didn't expect."

Taking advantage, Prime Minister Zuo felt elated, and walked to his room humming a little tune with his hands behind his back. He was tired after sitting in the carriage all day.

"This function, tsk tsk, it's awesome!" King Yun patted Duke Zhen on the shoulder, laughed and left, leaving a handsome back.

Zhen Guogong's face became even darker. Literate people are really disgusting. They actually played word games. Interesting!Bully who reads less?

Princess Yun dragged Feng Yang into the house, these guys were joking regardless of the occasion, didn't you see that there were female relatives present, these shameless old bastards.

Li Dongyang didn't know what kind of joke the group of older guys behind him were playing, and brought people to the government office, where the people were already crowded.

Hearing that King Xiaoyao had taken down all the officials, the common people were curious, wanting to know what outrageous things these officials had done that made King Xiaoyao so angry.

Li Dongyang came to sit down in the hall, looked at the officials who were kneeling, and met the magistrate's eyes, the magistrate felt remorse in his heart.

If I knew why I had to do it today, I really regretted those bad thoughts. Although I was an official for thousands of miles only for money, the magistrate really didn't want to lose his life for money.

"Zhu Zishen, do you know what crime you have committed?" Li Dongyang slapped the gavel, which made everyone tremble.

"I don't know, my lord is merciful." The magistrate kowtowed, but he still didn't realize that his words were contradictory, and he didn't know why he was so merciful.

Li Dongyang sneered, pointed at the prefect's staff next to him, and said with a sneer, "Zhu Zishen doesn't know what crime he committed, do you know?"

The staff members trembled three times, knowing that they dare not speak up, if they say it today, is there still a chance of survival?
"Give you a chance to confess and be lenient, and you are allowed to take the blame and make meritorious service. If you are stubborn, hum, the crime will be aggravated!" Li Dongyang shouted.

But I was complaining in my heart, and confessed that I would sit through the jail!
The staff still didn't speak, but the magistrate's butler was a coward, and he even took the initiative to confess, pouring out the bad things the magistrate did like beans poured out of a bamboo tube.

Some of them were found by the hidden guards, some of them hadn't been investigated yet, the housekeeper was the magistrate's confidant, he knew too much, the magistrate made a bad face on the spot, and was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.

It's a pity that the magistrate was powerless. He found that when the housekeeper reported, he didn't even have the ability to move his fingers. How could he not know the truth at this time.

The steward's voice was not low, not only the officials kneeling in the hall heard it, but even the people outside heard it, and immediately understood why King Xiaoyao was so angry.

When they heard that the magistrate had corrupted [-]% of the food for the earthquake disaster, the common people threw stinky shoes in anger.
The housekeeper said one thing, and Li Dongyang compared one thing. Not only the prefect was greedy, but also the prefect's subordinates were also greedy. Let's put it this way, the grain sent to Yunzhou Mansion was [-]% less when it left the prefect's yamen.

The magistrate alone accounts for [-]%, and the remaining [-]% ​​is divided among his subordinates.

The remaining [-]% was sent to the county government. No need to ask, the remaining [-]% was divided up. Only the people of Yunzhou City got a little food, and the other places did not get a grain of food.

The next [-]% never walked out of the county office at all!

Who would have thought that a small Yunzhou mansion would be so greedy, Li Dongyang became more and more angry, wishing to kill people now.

"My lord, I've been wronged, I haven't moved a grain of food."

Among the many officials, there was actually a Qingliu hidden, with patched clothes and a sallow face, walking out of the crowd tremblingly.

"What's your name and where do you live?" Li Dongyang asked coldly.

"The lower official Yunzhou Mansion knows Lu Qing and is in charge of finances." Lu Qing stepped forward to salute, then put his head on the ground, and the two lines shed tears.

"You are in charge of the financial power, and you actually said that you didn't move a single grain. Where did the grain flow out?" Li Dongyang looked at the guy in front of him with scrutiny in his eyes.

"Back to the prince, the subordinate is incompetent, and the power in his hand has been emptied by the magistrate. If he hadn't greeted the prince, the subordinate would still be locked up in the mansion and unable to get out."

Lu Qing cried even more sadly, and told the story in detail.

It turned out that Zhu Zishen, the magistrate, was a native of Yunzhou Prefecture, and he took office before Lu Qing. When Lu Qing took office, the power in his hand had already been seized by the magistrate.

Not only that, in order to prevent Lu Qing from interfering with him, he was directly imprisoned in the yard, and the old snacks of Lu Qing's family were sent by the prefect to send them into the yard.

Since coming to Yunzhou Mansion, Lu Qing has never held power for a day, and he was imprisoned after enjoying his freedom for only three days.

He didn't know anything about the food case this time, so why did he let Lu Qing out this time, he was still worried that Li Dongyang would ask this person.

The Tongzhi is second only to the magistrate, if King Xiaoyao asks about this person, he will be concerned about one or two things, and the prefect is worried about trouble, but he didn't expect to worry too much, the trouble really happened.

Li Dongyang clenched his fists after hearing this, he didn't expect the magistrate to be so mad, no wonder he dared to embezzle so much food, this is something he can rely on.

The people outside were stunned and couldn't believe their ears. It turned out that the magistrate was so ruthless, no wonder there were rumors that people starved to death.

"My lord, you can't kill me. My Zhu family is a big family in Yunzhou Mansion. You can't afford to offend me."

Seeing that the matter was really exposed, the magistrate was not afraid and stopped kneeling. He stood up and looked directly at Li Dongyang, and said coldly: "You were ordered to escort the envoys to leave. If something happens to them, you can't afford it."

"Threatening me, just because of your mere Zhu family, you also want to threaten me?" Li Dongyang looked at this fat guy with big ears and sneered disdainfully.

He was a majestic foundation-builder who was threatened by a local emperor, ouch, how funny.

Li Dongyang asked Lu Qing to stand up and assist in handling the case, and by the way, see if Lu Qing's skills are available.

If Lu Qing is capable, he can temporarily hand over Yunzhou Mansion to his management. Li Dongyang can imagine that there is not a single official in the entire Yunzhou Mansion.

The magistrate stared at Li Dongyang coldly, stopped talking, and looked at Lu Qing as if he was looking at a dead person. Li Dongyang asked the officials below to continue to expose, still saying that the crime can be done.

The butler told what he knew, knowing that there was no way out, and helped identify some officials on the scene who were corrupt.
