Sui and Tang Dynasties: Killing Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty to sacrifice to heaven at the beginni

Chapter 413 Pursue it to the end and show no mercy.

"You've played off this year, does that mean you did the same thing in previous years?" Li Mu asked with a cold face.

"This"

"This..." Seeing Li Mu's fierce eyes, the county magistrate of Lu County didn't dare to lie, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "It's been like this for years!"

"Borrow chickens to lay eggs, lend me Da Sui's chickens to lay eggs for yourselves. After you're done, return the chickens!"

"Good method, good method!" Li Mu said with a cold face.

It is true that this method is very clever, if it is not the year of disaster this year, then such mistakes will not occur.

Even, if it wasn't for the powerful family's manipulation in secret, they could buy grain at a high price to make up the balance of the government treasury.

Now, it is precisely because the powerful family is driving up the price, how can these small local officials compete with the powerful family for financial resources.

"Being an official in the Sui Dynasty, eating my salary in the Sui Dynasty, knowingly breaking the law, the crime is aggravated. Do you know what crimes you are charged with?" Li Mu asked coldly.

"General, spare your life, spare your life!"

"It's not just us, the entire Shandong territory, and even the small officials in the Sui Dynasty are so profit-seeking!" Lu County magistrate, county magistrate, and county lieutenant knelt on the ground and cried.

At this time, the county magistrate of Lu County deliberately pulled out officials from the entire Shandong border.It is precisely because of one thing that the law does not punish the public. If there are many people who break the law, the punishment will naturally be shared equally.

"Don't take money and break the law, you can also take money and break the law, if others eat shit, do you want to eat shit too?" Li Mu cursed.

Li Mu never imagined that even if the officialdom in Shandong was not clean, it would not be corrupt.However, it never occurred to him that the officialdom in this place is no less corrupt and corrupt than the capital.

"Eat, let's eat!"

"As long as the general can forgive our crimes, we will eat as much shit as we want!" the three cried.

"Damn it, death is imminent, and you still dare to come here to cheat for food and drink!" Li Mu cursed secretly in his heart.

"Come on, push him down!" Li Mu said coldly.

After a long time, Li Mu felt more relaxed, and ordered to write a letter to his hand: "Send a letter to His Majesty, and ask for a thorough investigation of the officialdom in Shandong!"

"General, how does this letter explain this matter?" asked the clerk.

After thinking about it for a moment, Li Mu said seriously: "Just write the letter truthfully!"

The boundary of Shandong is said to be the place that Li Mu himself governs.Now that something like this happened in Shandong official circles, it was like slapping Li Mu himself in the face.

If we follow the usual practice in the officialdom, Li Mu should try his best to cover up at this time, but it is really unexpected to take the initiative to write a letter.

Li Mu is not someone who shirks his responsibilities, if he is covering up now, then he is no different from these corrupt officials.

Now that there is a problem, you have to find a way to solve the problem. If you hide it, it will only make the problem bigger and bigger, and it will become out of control.

"Also, send someone to call Tang Bi over!" Li Mu ordered.

Tang Bi, the chief official of the Taitai Yamen, is to blame for this kind of thing happening on the Shandong border.Calling Tang Bi is naturally also to find out the joints.

Jinan Prefecture, Licheng County.

Zhentai Yamen.

"My lord, my lord, it's not good, the general sent someone to send you to Lu County!" An official hurried into the government office and reported to Tangbi.

Upon hearing this, Tang Bi's heart also panicked.He had already heard about the affairs of Lu County. Li Mu himself was in charge of Lu County, and the magistrate of Lu County dared to use this method. What does that mean?This shows that he really has nothing to do.

If this is the case in Lu County, then the situation of the counties on the boundary of Shandong can be imagined.Therefore, after the accident in Lu County, Tang Bi already knew that sooner or later, he would be implicated in this matter.

Although Tang Bi panicked in his heart, he knew that it would be a big deal to punish him for negligence.Because Tang Bi did not participate in the matter of reselling grain from the government treasury, nor did he share the benefits.

Of course, this is not to say how noble Tang Bi is.It's because, for the sake of Tangbi's sake, he despises these petty profits.

If Tang Bi wants to collect money, there are more ways to get money than this, and there is no need to do such thankless things.

Although the crime does not entail death, it is inevitable to suffer some melons.Tang Bi didn't dare to delay. After receiving the news, he immediately rushed to Lu County.

Tang Bi is an old fritter in the officialdom. He knows that at this time, standing at attention and being beaten is the best choice.

Lu County.

County government.

Li Mu looked gloomyly at the letters in his hand from several counties around Lu County. As expected, the same happened in several counties around Lu County. Or less.

If someone else is in power, encountering this kind of situation, I'm afraid it's nothing more than raising the board high, and then gently lowering it, giving a small punishment and a big reprimand.

After all, there are so many people who break the law, if they are all punished, it is inevitable that something will happen.

However, Li Mu was not used to this bad atmosphere in the officialdom. If he made a mistake, he was wrong. If he violated the law, he would have to admit punishment, and no one should be an exception.

"Wei Zheng was ordered that Mr. Xu Mao go to the counties in person to select capable officials from among the county officials to serve as county magistrates and other official positions!" Li Mu said in a deep voice.

As soon as Li Mu's words came out, it basically meant that he would not show mercy, and all those who violated the laws of the Sui Dynasty must be punished as they should.

As for what this punishment is, it is naturally a mass of heads.

"General, Tang Bi is here!" At this time, a guard outside the door came to report.

"Da da da."

"The last general, Tang Bi, pay my respects to the general!" Tang Bi immediately knelt down on the ground when he saw Li Mu.

"Humph!"

"Tang Bi, how did you become the commander of Shandong, the general of Zhentai?" Li Mu asked immediately without saying a word.

Due to the serious banditry in the Shandong area, Tang Bi was given the position of general of the town.This position is to grasp the military and political affairs of Shandong.

"The last general is to blame for his death, please calm down the general!" Tang Bi knelt on the ground and said.

"Tang Bi, let me ask you, have you ever reached out for food!" Li Mu asked.

"No, I guarantee there will be none." After saying this, Tang Bi seemed afraid that Li Mu would not believe him, and hurriedly said: "General, the grain in the treasury is being bought and sold, and it will take two or three months to come and go. Although I can make a little difference in price, it is too troublesome."

"Not only is it troublesome to say, but it is easy to leave a clue. How can you do such a thing in the end?"

"Oh, so when you, Tang Bi, corrupted the law, you wouldn't let your feet slip?" Li Mu asked.

"No no!"

"The last general dare not, dare not!" Tang Bi groaned in his heart, wishing he could slap himself a few times, this mouth really deserves a slap.
