I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty
Chapter 504: The Minister's Report
Chapter 504: The Minister's Report
Jia Xu left Yuntai Palace.
He had to admit that the emperor's suspicion was justified.
Fortunately, the emperor was not overwhelmed by the endless rebellions.
Instead, he entrusted the matter to him with great trust, and specifically said that it had been six or seven years since the incident, so it was normal that nothing could be found...
But the more the emperor said this, the more Jia Xu wanted to find out something.
After returning to the school affairs department, Jia Xu thought for a moment and ordered one of his guards, "Call Wang Can to see me!"
When Wang Can arrived, Jia Xu explained the whole story and said to Wang Can, who was excited to see the prey: "There are many suspects in Xu You's case, but the most suspicious ones are the officials and big families in Langya and Donghai, which are between Beihai and Xiapi."
Upon hearing this, Wang Can responded by saying, "Although this case is difficult, you can leave it to me without any worries, Captain!"
"Don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet! This case can only be investigated in secret."
Wang Can frowned and thought for a while, then asked Jia Xu, "Captain, if I say that I have had enough of the past year or so in the School Affairs Department, would you be willing to transfer me to another place?"
Jia Xu was moved, and said with a smile: "If you speak to me kindly, it will be fine, but if you are arrogant because of your talent, I will have to request that you be demoted to a local position, such as a county magistrate or a chief secretary."
Wang Can added: "In order to prevent me from having peace, every time I arrived at a place, the captain would think of retaliating and moving me to another place."
"It would be great if there were more cases in these places, so that I could look up old stories while investigating the cases, and avoid alerting the enemy at the same time."
As he spoke, Wang Can suddenly shook his head and sighed: "It's just that this will inevitably damage the reputation of the lieutenant. It's not advisable, it's not advisable..."
Seeing that Wang Can was beginning to act pretentiously, Jia Xu immediately rolled up the file in front of him, threw it at Wang Can, and scolded him with a smile: "Get lost! You don't have to come tomorrow!"
Obviously, he didn't care about being known as a vindictive person, and he might even be happy about it!
Wang Can was in no hurry to leave. He was still arguing with Jia Xu: "When I go east, the captain must give me some help. It must be someone as capable as Qian Zijing, right?"
"I am powerless..."
"Qian Zhao? You really dare to think so!" Jia Xu looked at Wang Can who refused to leave unless he was given a hand, and said, "Qian Zhao has already appeared in Xuzhou, but the school affairs department has collected some good seedlings from various places some time ago. Among them, there is a person who looks good, Wei Yan from Nanyang."
"Can you go and see for yourself?"
Wang Can received the promise and left happily.
Jia Xu was left with only a sigh - Wang Can had left the School Affairs Department from then on and might never come back.
He has a photographic memory. What a great talent!
Unfortunately, Wang Can cannot display his full talents here.
Well, take this opportunity to let Wang Can help him train some new people.
However, Jia Xu thought that he had to be on guard to prevent Wang Can from seducing the newcomer again, so he ordered: "After Wang Zhongxuan has seen Wei Yan, bring Wei Yan here."
With him taking action, there is no need to worry about Wei Yan not wanting to stay.
The next day, Wang Can, who was quickly demoted to the position of Chief Clerk of Langya State, left Luoyang with Wei Yan, who had just made his debut, and his servants.
Sun Ce, Ma Chao and Zhuge Liang came to see him off, not knowing the reason. They saw that although Wang Can was demoted, he had a happy look on his face.
"This trip eastward is a good opportunity to travel all over the Han Dynasty."
"I would like to take this opportunity to write a book called Journey to the East. What do you think?"
Sun Ce and his companions were confused.
Wang Can did not hide his words from others, and the news reached the ears of Jia Xu, the school lieutenant, that day. It is said that Jia Xu was meeting a guest at the time, and he sneered and said, "Since Wang Zhongxuan wants to travel all over the country, I will help him travel all over!"
On the way, Wei Yan, who knew the inside story, saw Wang Can smiling and couldn't help asking, "Your smile seems to come from the heart, I wonder how you fake it?"
Wang Can was stunned, pointed at the surroundings and asked: "We two were ordered to go out, aren't you happy?"
"It's investigating a case!" Wei Yan emphasized. He came from a military family and had a low status, but he was not willing to live like this, so he seized the opportunity to join the school affairs department.
Wei Yan was originally very excited when he was sent to follow Wang Can to investigate the case, but now, he felt that Captain Jia had entrusted the task to the wrong person.
"You have to fool yourself first before you can fool others!"
When Wei Yan heard this, it was like thunder in his ears. It took him a while to react. He bowed to Wang Can and said, "Thank you for your advice!"
"It's a small matter. You have good understanding." Wang Can waved his hand.
Wei Yan imitated Wang Can and looked around - it was early spring, the grass and trees began to sprout, and the wheat seedlings in the roadside fields were lush and green, a prosperous scene.
After watching it all, I felt that the anxiety in my heart was no longer there.
Perhaps Wang Jun deliberately warned him about this?
Wang Can blinked: He actually believed it?
……
Reopening the Xu You case was just an interlude, and Liu Bian's focus would eventually return to measuring land.
The matter of measuring land is complicated.
Even though Liu Bian didn't like the layers of supervision, he had to do it. The royal family represented by Hejian King Liu Xi, the capable officials represented by Dong Zhuo, and the celebrities represented by Yuan Shao...
After review, review again.
This will be a major project that will continue in the seventh year of Guangxi.
To this end, Liu Bian was ready to follow the example of Emperor Guangwu and kill a number of high-ranking officials such as the 2,000-stone officials and the provincial governors who were ineffective in measuring land or supervising.
However, the results of the first batch of reviews have not yet come out, and the leader Dong Zhuo has already couldn't help but shout for war and killing.
After seeing the strength of the court's review of the results of the land survey, some rural officials wanted to make amends. In this way, their guilt could be slightly lighter. But if they were stubborn and stubborn - "Your Majesty, the three places of Chenliu, Jiyin and Shanyang in Yanzhou have been roughly reviewed. The local land and population are mostly consistent with the villages. A total of 103 petty officials in the three counties were found to be derelict in their duties. Among them, 13 people colluded with others to conceal land and there was solid evidence. They were all sentenced to death and their homes were confiscated, and their wives were exiled to the border. The remaining 90 people were considered to have failed in their duties and were exiled to the lower level of assessment..."
Liu Bian listened to Dong Zhuo's report.
Although he had requested that the punishment be determined according to the crime of the petty official, it would naturally be impossible to impose exile for such an unintentional mistake as missing out on some remote areas of land within a mile, but in actual practice, the problem of excessive punishment would inevitably arise.
But this is the best he can achieve.
"As you say!"
Dong Zhuo continued, "After investigation, it was found that the county magistrate of Liaocheng, Dongjun, accepted money from a wealthy family in the county and concealed 30% of their land in the official records. I think he should be taken to Luoyang in a prisoner cart for trial."
Liu Bian: "I agree with your suggestion!"
Dong Zhuo continued: "Liu Yi, the governor of Dongjun, has made a mistake in supervision. I think we should issue an official document to reprimand him first!"
"As you say!"
