Chapter 263 Cleansing The Court, All Corrupt Officials Appear!
Yan Song and Qin Hui looked at each other in horror, His Majesty is going to make a serious move, it will break the sky!
Lin Beifan looked at the expressions of the two with a smile.
In the past, the country was not stable and there was a shortage of talents, so we could only let them do whatever they wanted.
Now, the dynasty has opened up, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and there are a lot of talents, it is time to clean them up.
Otherwise, if we continue to indulge, the country will be eaten up by these moths.
However, Lin Beifan also missed the old feelings and gave them a chance.
If they cooperate, they will naturally live in peace.
If you don't agree, hehe!
"It's nothing, you go down, the two chief assistants of the court will cooperate with you!" Lin Beifan waved his hand: "I hope that after returning from the parade, I can see a brand new court!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The two retreated in cold sweat.
When they returned to the capital, they immediately made drastic moves.
People were arrested and interrogated according to the list in the brochure. Many people were imprisoned, the court was in turmoil, and there was a bloody storm.
He Shen, who was presiding over the spring plowing outside, came back in a hurry and asked loudly: "Master Yan, Lord Qin, what's going on? Why did you arrest the people under my command? What did they do wrong? What did the official offend you, and you want to beat this official?"
Yan Song and Qin Hui looked at each other, and Yan Song cupped his hands and said: "My lord, we did not do this because of personal grievances, everything is His Majesty's will, and His Majesty asked us to do it! Your order is like a mountain, and you have to obey!"
"Your Majesty!?" He Shen was shocked, how could the emperor be involved in this matter?
Qin Hui spoke slowly: "My lord, you should know about His Majesty's northern tour to punish corrupt officials, right?"
He Shen nodded: "How could this officer not know about this?"
Qin Hui went on to say: "During this northern tour, His Majesty found out too many corrupt officials and was very angry, so he wanted to take this opportunity to clean up the court! One of us is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and the other is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. We are duty-bound! "
He Shen spread his hands: "Then there's no need to be so laborious, you have caught all the people in my office! You can just make up your mind, leave room for things, and see each other in the future!"
Yan Song sighed, and said with a wry smile: "My lord, do you think we are willing? This is a hard job to offend all officials, but if we don't do it, not only will we lose our official position, but our heads may also be lost! So, We have to do it!"
Qin Hui said with a bitter face: "And this time, His Majesty is obviously well prepared! When we came back, His Majesty gave us a list of corrupt officials, there are thousands of people on it! Even Lord Yan and I both It's on the list! Your name, Mr. He, is also on the list, and it's number one!"
"What?" He Shen turned pale in shock.
He was also on the blacklist, and he was still ranked first?
Does this mean that His Majesty knows what he did secretly?
He Shen was completely panicked!
You know, what he said in secret is too far-fetched!
If you poke it out, it's not just as simple as losing your head!
He Shen asked profusely with sweat: "My lords, in fact, I already know that I have made a mistake. I should never have done it. I should not have stretched out my hand... Please read it for the sake of your colleagues and help me." ah!"
Yan Song and Qin Hui looked at each other again, and said: "Don't worry, my lord, Your Majesty is kind, and for the sake of everyone's hard work, I gave everyone a chance! As long as everyone cooperates and reforms, then the past will be forgotten!"
"Cooperate and cooperate...I will definitely cooperate!" He Shen agreed, but then he made a bitter face: "There are so many things going on, and I don't know how to cooperate if I want to cooperate. Please invite the two adults to cooperate." I would be very grateful for any suggestions!"
"My lord, for the sake of our colleagues, my old man will tell you a number!" Qin Hui leaned over and whispered a number in He Shen's ear.
This number is 13.5 million taels of silver, which refers to the number of his embezzlement.
He Shen immediately understood, thanked the two adults again, and then hurried back to search the house, his own.
In the end, the copy was cleaned up, and all the belongings were counted, and the total value reached 12.5 million taels of silver.
There is still a difference of 1 million taels from the figure provided by the two adults.
However, this is already his entire family property, legal or not, all of them are in it, why is there a difference of 1 million taels?
He Shen was very puzzled, could it be that the statistics above were wrong?
At this time, he looked at the housekeeper next to him who was about to be full of fat, and his heart moved.
"Say, do you take advantage of my power to embezzle and accept bribes?"
"Master, there is no such thing, the little one has always kept his duty..." Some sweat broke out on the butler's face.
"Stop quibbling!" He Shen shouted, "Look at what you're wearing, what you're wearing around your neck, and what you're buckling your hands. How many of them are cheap? You can't buy these things with your salary alone! Now, don't you hurry up and tell me the truth?"
He Shen is an innate master with an awe-inspiring aura.
When this aura was released, the butler was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground, kowtowed while sweating: "Master is wise, the little one is indeed greedy a little bit, but it's just a little bit..."
"Just a little bit?" He Shen said angrily: "As the saying goes, the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister! You usually occupy my name, and you must be greedy! Hand over all the things you greedy
Otherwise, I will kill you with one palm!"
"My lord, forgive me, I will do it, my little one!"
The housekeeper handed over all the stolen money, and the total value reached 800,000 taels of silver.
It is shocking that a housekeeper without an official position can embezzle so much!
Then, He Shen searched the people in the mansion from inside to outside again.
In the end, another 500,000 taels were collected.
Thus, the total value reached 13.8 million taels of silver.
However, if those legal parts are deducted, it will be as rich as the two celestial beings confessed!
He Shen was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat, his neck was cold!
It turns out that my every move, and even the every move of my family, has been monitored by His Majesty!
What kind of method is this, it's too scary!
"Come here!" He Shen shouted.
"My lord!" A group of guards responded.
He Shen pointed to the group of people below and shouted: "Give me 30 for all these corrupt people! The housekeeper is the most corrupt, give me 100!"
Everyone below panicked.
"Master, we know we were wrong, please give us a chance!"
"My lord, I have been complaining all these years, and I have worked hard without credit! I will die if I get down with 100 sticks! Please do me a favor, can you do so much?
"My lord, please!"
"If you don't fight, you can't, if you don't fight, you won't have a long memory!" He Shen looked indifferent, and he was almost killed by this group of people!
If you don't deal with it seriously, it will be his head!
"Hit me, hit me hard, hit me hard!"
In less than a moment, the painful chrysanthemum howl came out.
Then, He Shen immediately sent these gold, silver and jewelry into the treasury.
After Yan Song and Qin Hui checked, they ticked his name, indicating that he passed.
He Shen breathed a sigh of relief, and finally escaped.
But in the future, I can no longer stretch out my hand, and I will be caught if I stretch out my hand.
At this time, all the officials under him begged him to come to him, hoping that He Shen would help them say a few good words and let them go.
He Shen shook his head helplessly: "N" My lords, in fact, I am unable to protect myself and can't help you! However, I have a word of advice to everyone, don't play tricks, don't take chances, and cooperate honestly. Your Majesty is watching from above! If you don’t listen, you will lose your job and your life, so don’t resent me!”
Baiguan left disappointed.
Some obeyed He Shen's words and handed over all the money embezzled over the years.
But more about being lucky, only handing over part of it, hoping to get away with it.
There are also some officials who see that they are almost greedy, so naturally their daughters-in-law run away.
None of these people escaped Lin Beifan's eyes.
Those who did not run away and tried to get away with it were arrested and interrogated strictly in prisons, and then convicted.
Those who run away will be miserable.
Lin Beifan took action himself, either digging a trap on the road to starve them to death, or releasing rats, rats and ants to bite them.
There are also all kinds of methods, which are overwhelming.
"If you are greedy for me, spit it out, and if you don't have enough money, you will pay with your life! If you still let you take a step forward, I will lose!"
Lin Beifan shook his hands lightly, and a big carp jumped out of the river and landed on the cabin.
"Your Majesty, you caught another fish!"
"Your Majesty is mighty!"
The Tao that women adore.
Lin Beifan laughed loudly: "My dear concubines, we caught too many fish today, so let's (for money) have a whole fish feast!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Immediately, someone from the imperial dining room came over and carried away all the fish in the cabin.
The dragon boat continued to go north, and continued to travel in the mountains and rivers.
At this time, Yin Gong received a message.
Master Zhihua is about to sit down, and he wants to find a successor before sitting down!
"Master Zhihua is the only master in the world who has entered the Tao through painting!" Yaoyao introduced: "The paintings he draws can deceive the world and everything, and even make people fall into dreams!"
"Although, among the grandmasters, he is not the strongest in force, but his ability is the strangest one! It is said that he once trapped a grandmaster for three days and three nights with the help of a few paintings!"
Lin Beifan nodded: "Grandmasters who can enter Taoism through painting are very remarkable, even rarer than great masters!"
"So, he hasn't found a suitable successor until now!"
Yaoyao said: "Now he is 180 years old, and he is considered to have a long life among the masters. He knows that his life is not long, so he announced it to the world, hoping to find a successor before he dies, and pass on the mantle!"
"It's really interesting!" Lin Beifan said with a smile: "It is said that he lives on an island three hundred miles away from the East China Sea, and we happened to drop by! Why don't you go and have a look and join in the fun!"
"Okay, okay!" Yaoyao was very excited.
The other women nodded in agreement. .
