Chapter 447
He, the censor Zhongcheng, was originally in charge of supervising officials, if he wanted to be upright and responsible, he would have to offend others.

This impeachment of corruption is what he should have done.

What's more, in the past, the three divisions joined forces to investigate the remnants of the shrine and clean up the officialdom. In the process, they, the He family, have offended many people, and they are not afraid of one or two more.

The so-called not afraid of itching when there are too many lice is nothing more than that.

At least for the time being, he will be a pure and loyal minister, as long as the emperor no longer harbors suspicions about the He family and intends to appoint him.As for others, it's easy to deal with.

But even so, He Xiangshan thought it would be better for him to do this job of offending others, so that Jiang's reputation would be better.

On the second day, the emperor came to the court to inspect the affairs, and all the officials could play in person if they had something to do.

In recent days, the imperial court has been relatively peaceful, so discussions are mostly trivial.

When the matter was almost discussed, the emperor waved his hand, and the servants around him were about to announce his resignation, but at this moment He Xiangshan walked out of the queue.

He took a step forward with the wat board in hand and said, "I want to report to the sage, I have something important to announce."

"Oh?" The emperor raised his voice slightly, "If He Qing has anything to say, just come here."

He Xiangshan took out the memorial and account book written by Deng Zhi himself from his sleeve, bowed and said loudly: "I want to impeach, there are people in the court who committed corruption, and they used Shaoyang's relief to fill their own pockets!"

The words were loud, and exploded in the empty hall, echoing for a long time.

There was a silence in the hall at first, and then all the ministers couldn't help whispering.

"Corruption? Did He Zhongcheng just say that someone corrupted Shaoyang's relief money? Did I hear correctly?"

"That's what I said, but I don't know if it's true or not..."

"Look at what he is holding, it looks like an account book, I'm afraid he came prepared?"

"There have been a lot of funds allocated in Shaoyang area in the past two years, and I don't know how much money and food are involved."

"When it comes to corruption, it has a lot of implications. I'm afraid the court is..."

When the emperor heard the words, his expression became solemn, and the servants around him hurried forward to take the things from He Xiangshan's hands and presented them to him.

He first opened Deng Zhi's memorial, and the veins on his forehead twitched, but he pressed it down. As the ledger was turned back more and more, the frost on his face became heavier.

Seeing this, the ministers couldn't help but shut up, and then quieted down.

The hall was as silent as water, and there seemed to be an undercurrent of murderous intent slowly surging beneath it.

"It's really good!" The emperor laughed back in anger, "I didn't know that there are such moths in this great week!"

"Shaoyang's relief money and food are related to the lives of the people, so you dare to take it without authorization!"

"There is also Deng Zhi, the governor of Shaoyang County. Last year, he wrote to the court to request a thorough investigation of the matter, but he was blocked back, and he was killed."

"Okay, okay, you guys stretch your hands really long enough!"

"Sage calm down!" The officials didn't know who he was talking about, but in this situation, the only way to ask the emperor to calm down his anger was.

The emperor sneered: "What's the use of calming down my anger? Who should calm down the anger and resentment of thousands of people in Shaoyang?"

His gaze coldly passed over the ministers, as cold as a knife: "Among you, who else is involved in this matter? Why don't you call it to me quickly!"

"Sage Mingjian, ministers don't know!" The ministers immediately knelt down and called out.

The emperor looked at the heads hanging down in fear, but what they were thinking in their hearts was beyond the knowledge of his superior emperor.

If not, he would not have been deceived so far!

"Since no one pleads guilty, let's investigate, let me thoroughly investigate, strictly investigate!" The emperor's voice was cold, "After I find out the person, it will not be so simple afterwards."

He looked at He Xiangshan, and raised his voice: "Censor Zhongcheng He Xiangshan listens to the order, and I order you to thoroughly investigate the corruption in Shaoyang!"

"I give you the Shang Fang Sword. If you meet those who are stubborn and don't cooperate, you can cut it first and then play it!"

The crowd couldn't help being startled, they actually gave Shang Fang the sword, the sword used by the sage hadn't been released for many years, but they didn't expect it to be in the hands of He Xiangshan, which shows the sage's trust in it.

That's right, once a corruption case comes out, it will involve a lot of people, and the officials in the court may find it difficult to prove their innocence.

Now, only He Xiangshan, who took the initiative to expose the corruption case, can be trusted.

In addition, the emperor specially sent Wu Desi to assist He Xiangshan, at his disposal.

This Wu Desi is the emperor's eagle dog, how can he tolerate others' orders?But saints have orders, and Chen Nie can only bow his head and obey.

When He Xiangshan returned home, He Lingjiang was waiting in his study.

"Did the emperor hand over the corruption case to grandpa?"

He Xiangshan nodded: "Not only that, but this time I also gave Shang Fang Sword..."

Seeing the sword box held by He Cheng behind him, He Lingjiang couldn't help but shrink.

When discussing with He Xiangshan yesterday, they thought that the emperor might hand over this matter to him.

After all, Yu Shitai was originally responsible for picketing, impeaching officials, and rectifying discipline.

As soon as the corruption case came out, the emperor had to think more carefully about employing people, and He Xiangshan, who took the initiative to come forward, was just right at hand.

The case was handed over to him, even though the official Yu Shi was bypassed, but he was the one who exposed the case, so it was reasonable to say.

However, what He Lingjiang didn't expect was that the emperor would give Shangfang Sword.

If it was said that he had no grudges against the He family, she would not believe it at all, but there is a powerful tool, a sword to show her trust, and at the same time, He Xiangshan can let go to investigate, why not do it?

She had to say that the emperor used the He family without hesitation.

That's fine too...

He Xiangshan waved his hand and signaled He Cheng to step back first: "It happens that you are here, how to investigate this case, Grandpa also listens to your thoughts."

He Lingjiang frowned slightly: "Judging from the information we have now, this case is not simple. The lives recorded in the ledger of Sheriff Deng are just a few small fish and shrimp floating on the surface."

"Even the governor of Shaozhou, I'm afraid it's just an air put on in the open."

He Xiangshan stroked his short beard, nodded and said: "Indeed. Since Deng Zhi had bypassed Raozhou to write to the imperial court, he was still stopped, which means that there are problems on this route and even above the imperial court. "

"In your opinion, should grandpa come to investigate from top to bottom in Yingdu, or go to Shaoyang in person and follow the clues?"

He Lingjiang smiled, and lightly wrote the word "Shao" with some tea on the table: "Here in Yingdu, neither we nor Governor Deng have any clues. If we stay here, we don't know how long we will be trapped." According to my daughter, the gap is still in Shaoyang.”

"Although fish and shrimp are small, they can be surrounded and caught. It may not be possible to lure a big fish."

He Xiangshan couldn't help clapping his hands: "As expected of my He Xiangshan's daughter, our thoughts coincide with each other. We really want to go to Shaoyang, and we need to move quickly."

"I have ordered He Cheng to prepare chariots and horses, and we will set off immediately!"
