Chapter 385: Easily Kick Off the Roadblock
"Unexpectedly, this He Zheng is still an official. He is cautious and careful in doing things. Apart from inaction, he really has no obvious big mistakes." Wang Jingyan sighed.
"It is better to do nothing than act indiscriminately. Today's officials are good if they do not bully the people. But, what are these?" Geng Xiaofan felt that He Zheng had no ambitions. He just wanted to be a peace officer, so he would not give people anything.
What clues were left, but what kind of pile did sister Jingyan take?
"Hmph! In normal times, it doesn't matter if you don't act. But right now, inaction is your biggest enemy. If he can be of one mind with you, spare no effort, and concentrate on repairing the canal, even if he is really greedy, I will really
Let him go. It's a pity that he didn't understand the situation at all!" Wang Jingyan's thinking was very clear, but she did not answer Geng Xiaofan's question.
"Then what other good ideas do you have?" Geng Xiaofan began to study the pile of bamboo slips, but the more he looked at it, the more confused he became.
"Who is this Mao Si?" Geng Xiaofan discovered that the pile of bamboo slips should record evidence of a man named Mao Si who oppressed good people, ran rampant in the countryside, and took advantage of others.
"A court official from Juyang Yamen. This guy does a lot of harm to the people and a lot of benefits." Wang Jingyan smiled.
"Then these are enough for him to drink a pot, but what does this have to do with He Zheng? Ting Yun was corrupt and perverted the law, and the county magistrate was at best an oversight. This reason for exempting him is a bit far-fetched." Geng Xiaofan roughly guessed what Wang Jingyan meant.
.
"It all depends on how you deal with Ting Yu's crime, whether it's big or small. If you deal with him more harshly, or even just let him go, He Zheng might come to beg you. Haha!" Wang Jingyan was a little proud!
.
"Could it be that He Zheng instigated all of this? But do you have any evidence?" Geng Xiaofan made a bold guess again and continued to search.
"No!" Wang Jingyan was still smiling.
"Then why are you happy? Will He Zheng take responsibility for a court official and resign himself?" Geng Xiaofan was puzzled.
"Maybe!" Wang Jingyan's eyes turned into crescent moons when she smiled.
Geng Xiaofan really couldn’t understand it.
"Everyone has weaknesses. He Zheng's biggest weakness is henpecking. Like you, he only has one wife..." Wang Jingyan smiled and explained calmly.
"Stop, stop, stop! We are talking about business, why are you teasing me?" Geng Xiaofan interrupted Wang Jingyan, but suddenly came to his senses! "His wife's surname is Mao?"
"Haha! Brother Xiaofan, you are not stupid! This Mao Si is He Zheng's, dear brother-in-law! You said, if his brother-in-law commits crimes, he can just sit back and do nothing and live a good life?" Wang Jingyan was happy,
Couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"It's really yours!" Geng Xiaofan admired sister Jingyan so much. What is this? Pointing at mulberry trees and scolding huai trees? Beating cows across mountains?
"This is really a waste of my efforts. If I hadn't studied accounting, most people would not be able to understand these accounts." Wang Jingyan stopped teasing Geng Xiaofan, picked up the bamboo slips, and explained to Geng Xiaofan one by one.
How to line your own pockets, how to extort money, how to prey on the common people... Geng Xiaofan was a little surprised when he heard it!
"This kid is really nothing! It's not an exaggeration to kill him!" Geng Xiaofan was a little angry. Thinking about the poverty of the people in Shanggu, and looking at what Mao Si had done, he felt itchy with hatred.
Wang Jingyan was very calm, "These are nothing, and you can't accuse him of much crime. However, I think this is what he is most afraid of!"
Wang Jingyan calmly took out a few bamboo slips and handed them to Geng Xiaofan, "He is so greedy that he doesn't distinguish between the two."
Geng Xiaofan looked at it carefully and immediately understood that this Mao Si was indeed bold. He not only exploited the poor people, but also plotted against several powerful people in Juyang and even a marquis! If this was exposed, there would be no need for the government to come forward.
I'm afraid the boy will die without a burial place! This is Mao Si's seven inches! This is He Zheng's seven inches!
"Okay! It's up to me next! You're going to let Yu'er shoulder Juyang's burden!" Geng Xiaofan already had a plan in mind.
"Okay! I really need to take a good rest. Let's see how you manage things successfully. You can rest assured that Yu'er will not let you down!" Wang Jingyan said goodbye with a smile.
The next day, when He Zheng saw the pile of bamboo slips in the prefect's mansion, he suddenly collapsed to the ground.
"He Ling! You must be blamed for the presence of such a moth in your county!" Geng Xiaofan pretended to be cold.
"Please have mercy, sir! Please spare my life!" He Zheng knew that he could not deny it, so he quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Have mercy, how can you ask me to have mercy?"
"Xiaguan, Xianguan, go back and deal with it now, deal with it hard!"
"What are you going to do with it?"
"I will charge him right away! Turn over all the stolen money, hand over all the stolen money, turn it over..." He Zheng said, secretly glancing at Geng Xiaofan.
"Turn it over to me?" Geng Xiaofan snorted.
"I'll hand it over to you, hand it over to you! Every penny is a lot!" He Zheng kowtowed again.
"Who do you think I am? These people are fated by the people, and I think they are dirty!" Geng Xiaofan said viciously.
"Please forgive me, sir. It's all up to you! But please spare his life." He Zheng was about to cry.
Geng Xiaofan held the shelf and pretended to be in deep thought. He Zheng was so anxious that he wanted to pee his pants.
"This official is new here, and I don't want to start a big fight. But this matter has caused quite a stir. If you don't deal with it, it will be a source of trouble for you in the future!" Geng Xiaofan said calmly, while He Zheng was already flustered.
"Juyang is afraid that there is no place for you anymore, so take him to get away!"
"Avoid? Sir, do you want me to resign?" He Zheng raised his head.
"Hmph! Are you willing to do it?"
"Then, what does that adult mean..."
"All stolen money should be turned over to the county treasury. You can be transferred to Guangning."
"Ah!" He Zheng was a little surprised. Guangning is almost the most remote and poorest county in Shanggu.
"You don't want to?" Geng Xiaofan's voice was cold and dignified!
"I'm here to take my orders!" He Zheng sighed, "Guang Ning, just Guang Ning, it's better than being dismissed!"
Subsequently, Geng Xiaofan made strong adjustments to several county magistrates based on the situation in each county, and transferred Wang Yu to Juyang. Wang Jingyan's wish was fulfilled.
Geng Xiaofan's "personnel adjustment" this time caused quite a shock in Shanggu official circles. Everyone was a little confused about his thoughts and became increasingly cautious.
The one who touched the most was the Western Captain Guo Ting. After Geng Xiaofan took office, he visited almost fifteen counties, praising and criticizing each county magistrate, rewarding and punishing them. But the two most important captains
However, he seemed to only know about the Eastern Governor's Mansion and had already visited it twice in person, while his Western Governor's Mansion seemed to have been "forgotten" by him.
Guo Ting had a vague feeling that Geng Xiaofan's next target would be him. He guessed that Geng Xiaofan already knew that the imperial censor sent by the imperial court had something to do with him. But the censor was also sent by the imperial court. How could he be dismissed easily by Geng Xiaofan? Not only did he not "find" his
Even though he had no evidence of his crime, he said a lot of good things for him in the court!
