Yang Songcheng said calmly: "Thank you for your hard work. After the matter is settled, come to my house for a drink."

"must."

Zheng Qi smiled and immediately returned to the Criminal Department.

The emperor did not hand over the matter to the mirror. This was because he knew the resolute attitude of the father-in-law and the four surnames of the family behind him, and made a concession.

The power of the abbot! Zheng Qi said quietly: "A man should be like this!"

When they arrived at the Ministry of Justice, Zheng Qi asked about Yang Xuan's situation.

"He said he was hungry. We couldn't torture him after all, so we bought him a piece of cake. But this man actually said that it was not the cake from Mrs. Hu's house in Dongshi. It didn't taste right and he wouldn't eat it."

"He is delaying, waiting for the person in the palace to come to his rescue and buy it for him."

As a corrupt official, Yang Xuan was placed in the duty room for questioning.

After buying the Hu cake, Yang Xuan sniffed it and took another bite.

"It still smells the same."

Eating Hu cakes and drinking hot tea.

The officials who asked questions just sneered.

"I've eaten the Hu biscuits and drank the hot tea. If you don't say anything, no one will be able to say anything wrong when we start!"

"Don't think that anyone is backing you. We are the Ministry of Justice here, and your palace's backstage won't work here!"

"explain!"

Yang Xuan ate Hu biscuits, drank hot tea, and burped, which made up for half of the pain of sleeping in the open air.

"say what?"

"Telling you about corruption."

“Have I ever been corrupt?”

"If you don't see the coffin, you won't cry; if you don't see the woman, you won't..."

"Cough cough cough!"

The presiding official was so furious by Yang Xuanmo that he blurted out the words he had said when teasing the woman in private, which was almost embarrassing.

Suzaku added: "No women, no flags!"

The official slapped the table and asked, "Where did those two sums of food go?"

Another official said sullenly: "Officials who are greedy for money often use excuses like this. We can tell at a glance. Why are you pretending to be incorruptible? Tell me!"

"It's moldy and unfit for consumption. Do you have an old official around you to give advice?"

"If we hadn't kept an eye on you, I'm afraid this matter would have sunk to the bottom of the ocean."

It is common for officials to be corrupt. Generally speaking, as long as the amount of corruption is not large and it does not cause a big negative impact in the local area. Or no one is watching you, then congratulations, you landed safely.

If you want to talk about an investigation, unless someone is watching from above, who would be able to go around the world to investigate officials?

We don't have the manpower either.

In many cases, the administration of officials in the Tang Dynasty relied more on the officials' own moral cultivation and self-discipline.

But the world is getting worse!

Officials are becoming more and more bold, and the number of corruption cases is increasing every year.

The official smiled grimly and said, "That food has disappeared without a trace a long time ago. We can convict you based on the account books. Do you understand? Even if you are not corrupt, the account books are corrupt!"

Another person laughed and said: "Even if the food is really inedible, it should be reported to the Ministry of Household Affairs instead of dealing with it privately."

He came over, leaned over, and said solemnly: "You want to say that there is no evidence? Let me tell you, you have been guilty since the word mold was recorded in the account book."

Yang Xuan raised his head.

"But, I am really not corrupt!"

"Who can prove it?"

"Many people in northern Xinjiang."

"who?"

This is a big case!

Several officials looked at each other, excited.

Zheng Qi outside also felt refreshed and whispered: "Record clearly."

Yang Xuan spoke:

"Military and civilians of Taiping County."

"Chenzhou military and civilians."

"The military and civilians of Northern Xinjiang."

…

Taiping County County House.

"I think this is inappropriate!"

Qian Ji sat in the duty room and looked at Cao Ying with squinted eyes, "Does Magistrate Cao want to cover up the sky with one hand? I'm here, don't even think about it!"

Cao Ying looked at him with a calm expression.

Back house.

Yi Niang was making clothes. Occasionally she looked up at the south and muttered: "I wonder when the husband will come back?"

Zhang Siniang squatted beside her, "Yiniang."

"Um!"

"Why aren't you worried about Mr. Lang?"

Yi Niang smiled, "Because Lang Jun will come back."

…

Chenzhou.

"Should the memorial have arrived?"

Liu Qing asked.

Lu Qiang nodded, "She should arrive later than Yang Xuan."

"Don't be too late. If the little kid gets beaten, he will definitely come to me to beat the autumn wind."

Lu Qiang smiled and said: "Don't worry, we will follow closely into the city."

Liu Qing nodded, "Hey! The kids are getting more and more successful. I'm going to plant vegetables."

…

Northern Xinjiang.

Tao County.

The weather was good, Huang Chunhui sat there and took a nap very comfortably.

When I woke up, Liao Jin happened to come in.

"Ms. sir."

"Um!"

Liao Jin sat down, picked up the cattail fan and fanned himself a few times, and said happily: "Comfortable."

"What do you think of this attack?"

Liao Jin said: "As my husband said, the discrimination between the DPRK and China in Northern Xinjiang did not happen overnight. If we can continue to tolerate it, it will happen. However, Northern Liao continues to grow, while Northern Xinjiang can only stand still. How can we continue like this? So

Just turn around and show those people the temper of the people in Northern Xinjiang."

"How many years have you endured in Northern Xinjiang? Money and food have been withheld, and countless grains have been ruined. I have endured it for the sake of the overall interests of Northern Xinjiang." Huang Chunhui drooped his eyelids, "This time someone from the DPRK is going to inspect, and it is Yang Songcheng's dog that comes, Your Majesty

If I had intervened to stop it, or asked one of my own people to take charge of the matter, I could have tolerated it, but Your Majesty, he didn't care."

"It's so much fun in the pear garden!" Liao Jin lamented, "They would rather throw the good things to the southern Xinjiang where they live a leisurely life than to the northern Xinjiang where they are fighting against strong enemies in the biting cold wind, you bitch slaves!"

"I don't care about this, but the kids are very angry. Who is that..."

"Yang Xuan."

"Yes, the little boy sent someone to ask me if I wanted to do a big business. I was curious at the time, what kind of business is this?"

Liao Jin smiled and said: "This is not a business, this is a big pit."

Huang Chunhui smiled, "Jiang Cunzhong and Zhang Du also made suggestions, saying that digging a hole with the account books is not enough, it is better to let the army mutiny. The kid knows the consequences of the mutiny. This is just to provoke me. Hahahaha!"

Liao Jin said: "It's not cruel enough. If you follow my method, you should not let Yang Songcheng shed a layer of skin!"
