Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 354 Bribery Arrested
Why do people often say that heaven is jealous of talents?
Because if a person is mediocre, no one cares when he dies.

Only one day, when these people really have an effect on Da Zhou, will they become real stars and be remembered by the world.

This is empty talk, but Shen Sanwen believes that there will always be someone who can realize it and make it a reality.

These words will become a bright light for the future of these fifteen people to illuminate the darkness of the future.This career will be their responsibility in the future, and they will work together with others to bring Da Zhou's wisdom to the fore, so that everyone can read and write.

This is a relatively optimistic episode on the road to layoffs.

The layoffs are accompanied by the expansion of official functions, the removal of vacant or unnecessary posts, and the disappointment of countless people who had a bright future.

For some bold speculators, this is an opportunity.

In the early morning of the fifth day, when Shen Sanwen and Cui Xuan were discussing how many people should be removed from the Dushui Supervisor, Lai Junchen came.

When Wu Zetian's country was stable and he stopped killing, Lai Junchen also restrained his sword a lot, but most of the time, Shen Sanwen was still unwilling to face this person.

Both his philosophy of suspecting guilt and his knack for falsifying evidence are repulsive.

Shen Sanwen also had a layer of fear. He always felt that every case Lai Junchen handled was not an unjust case, but everyone's true thoughts that had been proven.

However, Lai Junchen's blatant visit this time was naturally on official business, so Shen Sanwen hurriedly ordered someone to invite him in.

Lai Junchen had a proficient and polite smile on his face, "My son-in-law is busy."

Shen Sanwen responded with a similar smile, "My lord, please give me your advice."

Lai Junchen: "I don't dare to be an advisor. I have received some cases and plan to discuss it with my son-in-law."

Shen San asked: "Don't dare, Shen doesn't dare to delay my lord to handle the case for His Majesty, if there is anything that can help you, I will assist you."

Lai Junchen ordered someone to bring in a man with scars all over his body and a pile of files.

"This is?" Shen San asked, somewhat confused about what he wanted to do.

"After seeing it, Consort Shen will naturally know that someone has come and left."

After Lai Junchen finished speaking, he withdrew from the government office.

Shen Sanwen looked at the scarred people below the stage and frowned.Naturally, Junchen didn't come here to trouble him, so he must have come here to show his favor.

However, the results that are beneficial to the development of any career obtained by extorting confessions by torture are bound to be impossible to be recognized by most officials and people who advocate the mainstream of light punishment.

Cui Xuan picked up the file and read it carefully.

Soon there was a conclusion, "This man is a housekeeper. He sent bribes for his master. He wanted to get a promotion, but the other party didn't accept it. However, Lai Junchen knew about it and confessed."

Shen San asked: "Being beaten like this, it's normal to confess, but I can't guarantee whether it's the whole truth."

The person sent to give bribes is naturally the master's confidant, but it is hard to guarantee that there will be no conflicts with the people around the master, because there is no hope if it falls into the hands of Lai Junchen, so he takes this opportunity to retaliate.

"This layoff was too sudden. These people got wind of it in just four days, and troubles will continue to come." Cui Xuan said.

Shen Sanwen took a deep breath, "Lai Junchen came to help us, but I can't accept his way, I can find out these nasty things without torture."

Cui Xuan didn't think so, "It's not necessarily bad to have someone to help. Lai Junchen doesn't easily use a knife, but when he moves, most people dare not move."

Shen San asked: "So you say that some people are stupid, so they don't listen to what they say, and they have to be deterred by punishment and life threats, so that they can be more interesting."

Cui Xuan: "This matter should be done earlier, otherwise it would be bad for this person to die here."

"it is good."

Shen Sanwen took over Lai Junchen's dossier and started the trial, and temporarily handed over the work of merging and reclassifying positions and functions to Cui Xuan.

We are talking about trial, but there is actually nothing to review.

There was only one witness who knew the inside story, and the letter was burned as early as when it was delivered to the person. The money came to Junchen, who looked down upon it and brought it as evidence, and then a dossier that was tortured out of the forced confession.

Shen Sanwen then asked questions to the file, which was relatively easy.

A young butler surnamed Li grew up with the young master. He was loyal and loyal. He set off with letters and bribes. He failed to get things done and was arrested when he returned home with a huge amount of wealth.

After patrolling the streets, Marquis Wu arrested people and sent them to Lai Junchen.

Luoyang is the best place to get rewards for your achievements.

It is also thanks to the fact that silver notes were not popular in the Tang Dynasty, and Tongbao and gold and silver were popular. It is troublesome to carry, and there will be some special sounds if they are not packaged properly.

Lai Junchen was very responsible and efficient in judging the problem. A new official who was worried about working hard and had a better future in a department was worried about being dismissed and planned to take double insurance.

The motive of the little butler's confession was fine in peacetime, and the amount of gold and silver was not something that a little butler could come up with. He just refused to bribe one of the officials of the official department, and Lai Junchen didn't ask about it.

Maybe I just hold this handle and save it for next time.

Shen San asked not to care about this.

The Ministry of Officials has no right to decide this issue, and even he himself dare not guarantee that if things are not done well, no one dares to collect money?
In order to prove it, Shen Sanwen directly summoned the young official.

Although it is not his turn to report on his work, but according to the daily records he submitted, work outlook, and future planning, he is a very promising member.

This is a man named Li Yunxing, who has some old acquaintances with him.

When he was not a son-in-law, he was not listed among the dignitaries in Chang'an or Luoyang, but there were two princes from aristocratic families who had been with him all the year round and sincerely regarded him as a friend. One was Wang Bin, and the other was the Li family of Zhaojun. His son Li Rui.

Wang Bin likes red, and he likes blue.

The three of them have no intention of official career and only want to be happy.

People flock together, and they can play together because of their personalities.

Wang Bin and Shen Sanwen have always had a close relationship, coupled with the family's attention, they have always been on the front line of Luoyang, and have never been removed from the list of noble sons. Even though he travels, he stays away from the power center most of the time.

But Li Rui was different. After Princess Taiping's selection of a son-in-law was over, he chose to contribute to the clan's business instead of an official career.

It is also a typical example of deviant.

Shen Sanwen had paid attention to him before, so he could be regarded as the few friends left by his predecessor.

However, Li Rui has been doing things in a low-key way, and never thought of using their power. During Lai Junchen's purge of the family, the Li family in Zhao County lost many talents, and the Li Rui family also became the most important member of the Li family during the purge. Weak line.

Li Yunxing can be regarded as a more promising new generation of the Li family, who is valued by the elders.

Shen San asked here to see an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.
