Qing Chuan: Concubine Yi is so charming, Kangxi bends her waist

Chapter 309 Please invite the first victim
Did Kangxi not know about Suo'etu's corruption?
No, he was informed.

But he is not the former Kangxi, who has been in power for more than 20 years and has been responsible for more than ten years of reform.

His evil-hating temperament has long been wiped out by checks and balances.

Otherwise, Suo'etu would have no chance of survival.

Now Kangxi just saw it in his eyes, remembered it in his heart, and waited to settle the matter together.

But will it still be useful then?
Those who were victimized by corrupt officials either died or were disabled?
Is killing a corrupt official what the people want to see?
No, although they were happy that the corrupt officials were killed, they wanted to go back to before they were injured.

Even if you are poor, even if your life is hard.

But people are normal, they can earn, they can support their families.

Rather than like afterwards, the dead are dead, the injured are injured, and the disabled are disabled.

Kangxi's actions may be correct from the perspective of those in power, but from the side of the people, he is an accomplice.

Who is willing to let go of the hatred of his enemies?

On this day, the news that a large amount of money was stolen from the Suo'etu Mansion quickly spread throughout the imperial city.

Of course, there was also the help of thieves, otherwise this matter would not be spread.

At the first-class palace.

Suo'etu was watching the guards being punished, with a distorted expression on his face.

"Give me a hard beating. I can't believe that such a large amount of property was moved without any movement in one night. There must be someone colluding inside and outside."

Distressed?
Distressed.

I feel sorry for him.

"Yes." The executioner responded loudly, fearing that he would be wrongfully accused of being an accomplice.

The servants who were beaten had already taken in less air and released more air.

All of them lay there without making any movement, as if they knew what would happen next and resigned to their fate.

But no matter how much Suo'etu beat or punished, these servants still screamed that they were wronged, because they really didn't know how those people could move everything in a warehouse in one night without making any sound.

"Sir, he is dead." The supervising steward came to Suo'etu and said tremblingly.

Suo'etu glared at him and said, "Take it out to feed the dogs. It's useless."

He was punished, beaten, and died.

But there is no news at all.

At this time, a servant hurried in from outside.

"Master, master is not well."

The servant ran in panting, shouting that something was wrong.

These words made Suo'etu angry again, "You're so arrogant, it's your fault. Your whole family is in trouble, but I'm fine." He stood up and stepped forward to kick the servant.

"Master, have mercy on me, have mercy on me. It's something bad outside. When someone came to report it, the news about our house being stolen spread throughout the imperial city. They also said that our family had lost several hundred thousand taels of silver."

The servant is afraid of death, no matter how painful it is, he doesn't dare to delay the news, just for fear that the master will cause trouble for him afterwards.

"what?"

Sure enough, when he heard the news, Suo'etu couldn't get angry no matter how angry he was. He immediately stepped forward and asked, "What's going on? Tell me quickly."

It turned out that after Suo'etu discovered that his home had been stolen early in the morning, he immediately asked the housekeeper to report the crime to the Imperial City Prefect, and also ordered him to find the missing items in the mansion within three days.

Fu Yin is also an agitated person. With such a large amount of money, he immediately reported it to the Ministry of Punishment. He had no choice but to do so. That's the good thing about the Imperial City. Whenever something big happened, he reported it to the Ministry of Punishment. Who kept them close?

That governor is really a smart man.

Xiao Lizi's people have been keeping an eye on Suo'etu's mansion. When he saw the governor taking action, he immediately asked people to spread the news.

I have to say that this person under DiCaprio is very clever.

"Who dares to report him for being so outrageous?" Suo'etu was about to be pissed to death by the governor.

If he could report it, would he not go?

What a fool.

"Go and talk to the Ministry of Punishments and tell them that the things are not lost and that the servants made a mistake." That guy is shady and if he makes a big fuss, he may not even be able to keep his official title.Although the source of his money has something to do with the palace, in general, the relationship is not too big.

Alas, regret.

If I had known earlier...
"What are you still doing here? Go quickly." Suo'etu was anxious.

Unfortunately, it was useless no matter how anxious he was, because the news spread faster and faster, and the more it spread, the more evil it became.

No, someone spread that the money lost in the Hesheli family's house was the money for disaster relief in the first half of the year.

Although this matter is known to everyone in the official circles, the common people do not know it.

When they heard that there was such a big corrupt official in the imperial city, everyone was more anxious than the emperor.

Some of the impatient ones took the rotten vegetable leaves to Hesheli's house.

Before noon, Kangxi received the news.

Inside the Qianqing Palace.

Kangxi smashed the book in his hand angrily.

He never expected that Suo'etu would be so courageous and commit so much corruption.

No wonder the people in Jiangnan keep saying that the relief is not enough. Is this okay?

No matter how much he gives, it's not enough to have those people around.

"Bring Suo'etu to the palace for me. I want to see if he has a dark heart and dares to do such a bold thing."

No matter how angry Kangxi was, he would not directly order Suo'etu's death.

After being deeply angry, Kangxi drank a cup of cold tea and asked the ministers to enter the palace to discuss the matter.

If you don't invite them, they will come here on their own. Even he will have to eat the food. Chen Jingting will not let him go as the emperor.

Ugh.

An hour later, the Qianqing Palace was full of civil and military ministers.

And among them knelt Suo'etu.

The prince and eldest brother were also called over.

The eldest brother looked like he was looking forward to a good show, but the prince was the only one with cold sweat on his face.

It was such a hot day that he broke into a cold sweat.

"Suo'etu, do you have anything else to argue with?" Kangxi looked at the document handed over by the Ministry of Punishment and was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.

He was even more angry that the Punishment Department didn't hand it over to him immediately when they had evidence.

Looking at the Minister of Punishment was a slap in the face.

The Minister of Punishment is not afraid. If he was afraid, he would not serve as the Minister of Punishment for many years.

"Back to the emperor, the evidence is conclusive. If you ask for the forehead picture, you should be beheaded." The stubborn Chen Jingting said.

Kangxi's mouth twitched. He was also an old minister, but his jealous temper had not changed for many years.

"Mr. Chen, please wait a moment. It won't be too late until I find out the truth before punishing him." Kangxi could only comfort him with words, otherwise he would get angry with him, and he would be the one to suffer in the end.

Chen Jingting was unwilling, but another minister next to him grabbed him. Chen Jingting looked back and saw that it was his good friend.

After seeing him wink, Chen Jingting shut up.

Kangxi saw that he remained silent, and the anger in his heart dissipated.

Apart from being a bit straighter, Mr. Chen is still very good and respects himself as the emperor.

"Your Majesty has been wronged." Suo'etu knew that he could not accept this matter no matter what. If he was found guilty, he would not even know if he could save his life, let alone assisting the prince.

Corruption and embezzlement of disaster relief funds are two different things.

In order to give an explanation to the people, his life is the best explanation for the emperor.

　Hello new January everyone.
