Chapter 670 Submissive? (Happy Lantern Festival!!)
The errand of the Sanfa Division in Fuzhou went very smoothly.

The main reason is that they basically don't need to investigate, and relying on the evidence Cheng Tingzhi provided them is basically enough to convict someone.

What the officials of the Sanfa Division have to do is to verify the authenticity of the evidence, and then write it into a document and submit it to the court.

In just ten days, the Fuzhou magistrate's yamen was inspected from the magistrate to the Tongzhi.

In the third department's Yamen, the chief minister, the Si Yamen, two politicians and two councilors were all arrested, and the inspector's Si Yamen arrested a deputy inspector and two officials.

In other words, the adjutants of these two yamen, as well as some important officials below, were basically all investigated by the Sanju Department.

Except for the two chief officers, all the active ones have already moved.

So far, the vassals and standard divisions in Fujian have basically been turned over by Cheng Tingzhi and the officials of the Sanfa Division.

Among the three yamen, the only one in Fujian is the Dusi yamen, which has not been investigated for the time being.

After all, the capital of Fujian controls all the troops in Fujian. If they are moved rashly, there may be some turmoil. The cooperation of the imperial court is needed to attack the capital.

He has already started calling him "Brother Mingli".

Time soon arrived in March of Hongde's tenth year.

"The imperial court sent the three justices to inspect the local area to clean up local officials, and has little to do with the governor's office."

Cheng Tingzhi was stunned and said, "What's wrong?"

"I'm afraid it's also dull."

Cheng Tingzhi alone can't beat them.

He glanced at the two teammates, and continued: "Zhongcheng, the three officials had already discussed together yesterday, and the three officials agreed that the officialdom in Fujian could no longer be chaotic. Cleaned up."

The moment he turned around, the smile on the governor's face had completely disappeared.

However, the chief officials of the vassals and the generals, the Sanfasi did not move them for the time being. First, their ranks are too high. Second, it will take some time for the court to fill up the vacant official vacancies in Fujian. The chief officer is temporarily serving as the director of the feudal department and the standard department.

Cheng Tingzhi looked calm. He lowered his head and took a sip of tea, looked at Zhou Yan, and said indifferently, "Brother Zhou, where did you say that? Could it be that the chaos in Fujian started from the governor's office?"

Zhang Bing is a warrior with a strong figure. Hearing this, he stood up silently, cupped his fists at Cheng Tingzhi and said, "Zhongcheng, this subordinate doesn't understand the twists and turns of the officialdom. , and we can’t act too hastily, otherwise if there is a big problem in Fujian…”

Officials at this level, being able to say such "uncovered" words, is basically a showdown-like dialogue.

To be honest, as long as the three local yamen can work together and stand firmly together, it will almost inevitably happen.

While drinking tea, Cheng Tingzhi said, "Yesterday, the old man had dinner with Yuan Shaoqing. Yuan Shaoqing said that the people from the third government office had told him many times that the old man accepted bribes when he was the chief envoy of Fujian."

This old thief just said that he was an official of Yushitai, and now he says that he is a local official!

Theoretically speaking, these three people are half a grade lower than the governor. In terms of positions, they can even be said to be on the same level, so naturally they met Cheng Tingzhi and Cheng Futai smoothly.

Regarding this kind of speech, Cheng Tingzhi had no expression on his face, and just said indifferently: "Lu Jiantai, the chief constitution of Fujian should be Zhou Fantai of the feudal secretary, and this official is just an official of Yushitai, who is ordered to govern the local area."

But Cheng Tingzhi is not alone, behind him is not only the Fuzhou Guard, but also the "special task force" of the Sansan Judicial Department sent by the imperial court!
Zhou Yan lowered his head slightly, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Mingli, you and I did have some differences in political views in the early years, but that's all in the past. Now that the imperial court has sent you to raise Fujian, I will naturally help you with all my heart, why bother?" Because of some personal grievances, it became like this?"

With a smile on his face, Cheng Futai sent the three of them all the way to the gate of the governor's office. He didn't turn around until the three of them got on their sedan chairs and left.

The three of them looked at each other, and then Chief Minister Zhou Yanchang sighed, and said, "Brother Mingli, Fujian can no longer be in chaos."

"You are also disgraced."

Hearing this, the three chief officers of the third division gritted their teeth secretly.

Hearing this, Master Shen nodded with a smile, and said, "Is this begging for mercy, or is it forcing the palace?"

Shen Yi was in the next room just now, and it was a room separated by wooden boards. He could hear the conversation of the four people clearly.

Cheng Tingzhi felt that Shen Yi was joking, and immediately smiled dumbly and said, "Xianzi Ziheng is quite funny."

"This is a secret indication that he is going to Jiankang and sue me for imperial court."

"At that time, the three of us may not be able to continue working in Fujian, so we can only go to the Jiankang Ministry of Officials together and ask for a new job from several officials of the Ministry of Officials."

More importantly, maintain the system of the local three-official yamen so that it will not collapse.

Cheng Tingzhi sighed: "That's not something that the magistrates can manage."

"There's nothing they can do."

"Of course the chief officials of the three divisions and I will be punished by the court, I'm afraid Zhongcheng will also be punished by the court."

"Tomorrow, I will meet with Yuan Shaoqing who is in Fuzhou, and explain to Yuan Shaoqing the thoughts of the third department."

He paced back to the living room, and when he walked into the living room, Shen Yi was already seated in the second seat of the living room.

Master Shen gave a "tsk" and said with emotion: "Being an official in this place is no less important than being in the court. However, the chief officials of the three divisions are all here to visit. How will Zhongcheng plan to respond to them?"

After Cheng Futai received them, he invited them to talk in the living room of the Governor's Yamen. After the four sat down in order of priority, Cheng Tingzhi glanced at the three of them and said with a smile: "You three are here, I don't know why?"

Cheng Tingzhi lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said: "On the surface, I came to bow my head and be subdued. I said that the Sansi Yamen tried my best to assist the governor's Yamen, but turned around and said that I would go to the Jiankang Ministry of Officials to beg for officials."

Cheng Tingzhi also stood up and said with a smile, "I'll send the three adults off."

At this time, the two feudal vassals and ordinary Taiwanese in Fujian were scolding Cheng Tingzhi in their hearts!

"I'll take my leave!"

Shen Yi added a cup of tea for him, and said with a smile: "What Zhongcheng did is wrong."

It's not the first time that the imperial court has sent the Sanju Division to inspect the place. If you, an insider, hadn't provided them with evidence, the Sanju Division was in Fujian, and nothing would have been found out!
The officialdom in Fujian is clean and spotless!
Lu Jietai took a deep breath, stood up, cupped his hands respectfully, and said: "Zhongcheng, you are the chief constitution of our Fujian province, and also the chief official of our Fujian province. For our officials in Fujian, you have to do more to help them. If too many people are arrested in the officialdom, you chief minister..."

"As for how the officials of the Three Law Departments will act."

He glanced at the three people, and said slowly: "Everyone is upright, so naturally you won't be afraid of the officials of the San Judicial Department."

Lu Gui bowed his head and said: "Zhong Cheng, you were the chief envoy of Fujian last year and the chief constitution of Fujian. If too many people are found in Fujian."

Previously, the two served as the chief political envoy of Fujian at the same time, and Zhou Fantai was the chief envoy of the left, and he had to slightly suppress Cheng Tingzhi.

"The income from bribery in the past three years should be handed over to the inner court and the inner treasury."

Seeing what Zhou Yan said, Cheng Futai squinted his eyes, and said flatly: "Brother Zhou misunderstood, there is no personal grudge between you and me, even if there is, Cheng will never put personal grudges into official affairs. "

The three of them looked at each other, then they all got up silently, bowed their hands to Cheng Tingzhi, and said, "I have Lao Zhongcheng."

"All."

The procurator Lu Gui couldn't hold back anymore, he cupped his hands at Cheng Tingzhi, bowed his head and said: "Zhongcheng, now there are two yamen, the feudal department and the standard department, and more than ten officials have been taken away, and they are all vital position, if this continues, there will be no way to deal with the political affairs of the two yamen!"

Coupled with the suppression of the former governor Sun Fu, Cheng Tingzhi was basically speechless in the feudal office at that time, and it was Zhou Fantai who was in charge of government affairs.

Speaking of this, Cheng Futai said indifferently: "I have already handed over all the income of the three years to the household department. They can't touch the old man, so there is today's drama."

Cheng Tingzhi nodded, turned his head to look at Zhang Bing, and asked, "Does Zhang Dushuai also mean that?"

Cheng Tingzhi was not surprised. After coming to the main seat and sitting down, he glanced at Shen Yi and said with a smile, "Did Ziheng hear it just now?"

On the fifth day of March, Zhou Yan, Fujian's chief envoy, Lu Gui, the procurator, and Zhang Bing, the commander, finally couldn't bear the pressure, and came to the governor's office together to ask to see the new governor Cheng Tingzhi.

Cheng Futai stroked his beard with his hand, and said flatly: "I understand what the three of you mean."

Zhou Yan was about three years older than Cheng Tingzhi, and he used to call Cheng Tingzhi a good younger brother, or he was called by his official position, but now times have changed.

Zhou Yan and Cheng Tingzhi are old acquaintances.

Master Shen said with a smile: "It will be much better than handing in to the treasury of the account department."

After a pause, he continued: "The evidence of these three people has now been sent to Jiankang, and it is only waiting for His Majesty to make a decision."

"They won't be jumping for long."

Cheng Futai said slowly: "Scholar Shen, don't worry, the Fuzhou Shipping Department will be completed and put into operation soon."

Shen Yi glanced at Cheng Tingzhi and sighed.

"I hope so."
