Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 763 Crazy

Once the reform to address internal malpractices is launched, it must be carried out in earnest. No matter how well the surface work is done, if it does not touch upon the core issues, then the reform is doomed to fail!

"Hey, it's really strange. The Ministry of Revenue has conducted a thorough investigation of commercial taxes in all prefectures, counties and cities in Northern Zhili, arrested and executed many corrupt officials, treacherous villains, and even held a public trial outside the Daming Gate. This is enough to cause a sensation. Guess what happened!"

In the manufacturing office of Xishan General Assembly Park, a surprised voice was heard somewhere, which made Liu He, Zhang Wu and others who were resting look over.

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Wu glanced around, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said to Zhao Laosan who was trying to be mysterious.

"What's wrong?!"

Zhao Laosan held up the Huangming Times, stared at the workers in front of him, and said in a high-pitched voice: "Then the specially established procuratorate knew about it, right? My God, they actually left Beijing and rushed to various places in Northern Zhili to exercise their authority over the local areas!"

"Wow, are they going to arrest someone again?" one person exclaimed in amazement after hearing this.

"What do you think is going on? Since the New Year, the court has been arresting people one after another. There were many corrupt officials before. Are they really going to take action this time?"

"Who says it isn't?"

Another person slapped his thigh and said, "They embezzled tens of thousands of taels of silver before, or even more, but I have never seen the court arrest them like this."

"Now, as long as you are greedy, no matter how much, you will be arrested or killed. It doesn't matter who is backing you up. It's useless!"

"The current emperor is indeed a descendant of the old man Hongwu. The way he treats those corrupt officials is exactly the same as mine."

"You are right."

Zhao Laosan raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at these people and said, "It's all published here. Many people have been arrested in Daxing and Wanping counties."

"Tsk tsk, this opening cannon is really loud."

"and many more."

When Liu He heard this, he frowned and looked at Zhao Laosan and said, "Daxing and Wanping counties are Beijing counties. How dare the people from the procuratorate arrest Beijing officials? I remember that the procuratorate is in charge of major plans, right?"

"Yes."

Zhang Wu followed closely and said, "If they really want to investigate, it should be the people from the Censorate, right?"

Zhao Laosan smiled, pointed at the Huangming Times in his hand, and said, "Your doubts are published in the Huangming Times. Listen carefully, the People's Procuratorate publishes it like this. Beijing officials refer to those who serve in the court. It does not mean that those who are in Beijing are Beijing officials. Therefore, the procuratorate of Daxing and Wanping counties has the power of supervision!"

"so smart?"

Zhang Wu said in amazement, "If the People's Procuratorate heard this, wouldn't they be afraid that the People's Procuratorate would think too much?"

"I don't know whether I think about it more or less."

Zhao Laosan grinned and said, "But I know one thing, this procuratorate is definitely much more powerful than the detective team your brother-in-law joined!"

"Look, all the local officials under the emperor's feet have been arrested, not to mention Northern Zhili. I'm afraid it won't be long before a large number of corrupt officials will be arrested, haha!!"

Seeing Zhao Laosan like this, Zhang Wu frowned and his mood became bad.

He really wanted to refute Zhao Laosan, but when he thought of what his brother-in-law said, Zhang Wu could only endure it.

"Okay, stop talking."

"That's right, you're just bringing up something else!" "I know a few Chinese characters, but I don't know your last name, right?"

"That's right. If it weren't for my brother-in-law, would we have been able to get back the counterfeit money that was exchanged by the treacherous villain so quickly?"

When Liu He and the others saw Zhao Laosan bringing up the matter again, they all started to criticize him.

After all, Zhang Wu's brother-in-law, Xiao Niezhong, gave up the Royal Military Academy and ended up going to the detective team, which shocked many people.

When Zhang Wu saw this scene, he felt a warm feeling in his heart. In fact, he also knew that Zhao Laosan did not have any malicious intentions when he said these words, but he still felt a little uncomfortable.

Zhang Wu really wanted to scold Zhao Laosan in public, "You know nothing. Do you know how powerful the detective team is? When the situation in the court and the capital was serious, they arrested countless people quietly."

But he couldn't say that.

Speaking of which, when Xiao Niezhong dropped out of the Royal Military Academy and finally chose to join the detective team, everyone in the Xiao family was opposed to it, including Xiao Niezhong's brothers-in-law.

Also for this matter, Xiao Niezhong chose to tell them some secrets. After knowing some things, Zhang Wu and the others didn't dare to say anything else.

In particular, Xiao Niezhong repeatedly emphasized that what they knew must not be revealed to anyone else. Even if they told anyone even a little bit, he would lose his head.

"Liu He! Liu He!"

In this situation, a voice was heard, causing everyone present to look in the direction of the voice.

"Manager Zhou, why are you here?" After seeing who the person was, Liu He hurriedly ran towards that person. Before he could finish his words, he was grabbed by him.

The man raised his eyebrows and said, "I've been looking for you everywhere. Come on, follow me to see the supervisor. There's something good to come!"

Ok?
Liu He was confused, but was stopped by Manager Zhou, so he had no time to think about anything else.

"What's going on?"

"I do not know!"

Zhao Laosan, Zhang Wu and others who saw this scene couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"What do you think? Has the boss been found out about something?" Looking at Liu He's departing back, Zhao Laosan frowned slightly and looked around.

"The court has been in turmoil these days, the capital is in turmoil, and so is our Shaofu. Have you heard that many people have been arrested in various bureaus under our Military Preparation and Cleaning Department?"

"If not a thousand, there must be several hundred. You know, some of them have great skills!"

"You can't talk, so just shut up!" Zhang Wu glared and scolded, "We all know what kind of person the boss is!"

"Yes."

Another person followed closely and said: "No matter how many people we arrest, the boss will not be in any danger."

"Okay, stop talking." A thin man frowned and said, "It's time to get to work. Let's go and do what we need to do first. As for other things, don't think too much!"

In fact, when changes occurred in the court and the capital, the Shaofu, who was highly valued by Zhu Youxiao, also underwent significant changes. The corrupt officials who had grown up among them were exposed one by one, which caused quite a stir in the Shaofu.

The corrupt officials were exposed and the position became vacant, but the work done by the Shaofu was extremely important, which inevitably required a group of people to step up.

One thing is beyond doubt, Liu He, who was called away, was obviously lucky, as he caught up with a special period of the Shaofu. Previously, he was influenced by Zhang Wu's brother-in-law Xiao Niezhong, and went to a literacy class for further study after work. His good performance was found by the people in the Shaofu, so a vacant position fell on Liu He's head invisibly!
