I saw that there were densely packed jewelry below, and Pei Min's signature was actually in the bottom right corner.
"What's going on?"
"Does the general still remember the three private warehouses?"
Li Qing'an woke up and found that five years ago he set up a three-private warehouse under the Anxi Supervision Department, which specialized in storing various confiscated materials, including Arab merchants smuggling jewelry and goods, Sogdians sold goods privately to the Uighurs, and private goods seized by tax evasion, etc., including jewelry, gold, silver, jade and various cotton cloth. The warehouse was compiled and registered by the Anxi Supervision Department.
"Does these jewelry come from the San Private Library?"
Hu Peiyun nodded, "According to Pei Jiangtian's explanation, all the goods in Qianhu Jewelry Store come from Sanjian Warehouse, and has earned 150,000 pounds of profit in the past two years."
"asshole!"
Li Qingan was so angry that he slapped the account book on the table. He was extremely angry. What he didn't want to see happened. Pei Mian actually used his power to embezzle public treasury supplies. It has been two years since he knew nothing.
“Isn’t anyone reporting it?”
Hu Peiyun shook his head, "Pei Jiangtian told me that before they took action, they had replaced all the managers with their own people, and some people with low positions were frightened by Pei Mian's power and did not dare to report it."
Li Qing'an walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. The evidence was conclusive and Pei Mian could not deny it. He was considering how to deal with Pei Mian and his son and all the accomplices. Severe punishment was necessary. The key was to protect the official son, secretly deal with Pei Mian and his son, or to deal with it publicly, kill one to warn a hundred people.
Li Qingan stopped. At this moment, he made up his mind to kill one to warn a hundred people.

It was already deep in the night. Li Qing'an was still sitting in the inner study and thinking quietly about Pei Mian's affairs. He couldn't fall asleep. Pei Mian, the second person in Anxi Political Affairs Hall, who had served as the right prime minister in history, would have been a big rat. In two years, he embezzled 20,000 stones of grain, more than 4,800 pieces of jewelry, and the goods were worth 200,000 yuan. He used the loopholes of altered account books and uninspected supervision to do it perfectly. No one exposed it. If it weren't for his accidental private visit, then when would Pei Mian and his son be corrupt?
A chill broke out in Li Qing'an's heart. This was discovered. Is there any corruption that was not discovered? There must be some, but it was hidden deeper.
Li Qing'an couldn't help but feel very disappointed with Wang Changling. It should be said that Wang Changling had the responsibility for failing to supervise this matter. He believed that Wang Changling himself was honest and upright and would not have any problems. However, Wang Changling's weakness was also very obvious. He was too straightforward and almost everyone did not like him, so that his decrees were difficult to be well implemented.
From Pei Jiangtian's confession, we can see that in more than two years, the three private warehouses have never been checked, so that the account was changed every year and no one was concerned about it. This is certainly because Pei Mian's power is too great, but it can also be seen that Wang Changling's powerless side. His qualifications in the officialdom are too shallow and he cannot defeat Pei Mian. The people of Yingtianshi even issued a grain transfer order for Pei Mian.
This is also the most fatal thing about Wang Changling. His official qualifications were too shallow to suppress the people below. When he was in Anxi, the officials below might be afraid of their authority and dared not disobey Wang Changling's orders, but once he left Anxi, Wang Changling's prestige immediately disappeared.
Wang Changling must be replaced. He cannot ruin his foundation because of his feelings. Li Qing'an pondered for a moment. In fact, he had long thought of a person, who had both Wang Changling's integrity and integrity, as well as the official qualifications that Wang Changling lacked, and had extremely strong abilities. This person was Zhang Hao. If he asked him to take charge of the government in Anxi, it would be easier to establish a strong Anxi administrative government.
Li Qingan made up his mind secretly.
At this time, the door gently pushed open. Li Qing'an's wife Dugu Mingyue brought a cup of ginseng tea into the room. She placed the tea cup on the table and gently massaged Li Qing'an's head.
"Dalang, it's so late, aren't you still sleeping?"
"Anxi has a major corruption case, I can't sleep!"
"Dalang is a little worried. Where is there any corruption and abuse of power? There is no way to ban it. I remember my grandfather said that some people are killed even if they go to the underworld and they will also go to corruption. Don't worry, go to bed early!"
"I know, but I'm not willing to let it go! Anxi is my son, and I can't just watch my son fall ill and ignore it."
"Actually, my grandfather said that when Emperor Tian was in power, he established four lords, which rarely happened in corruption and abuse of power. Why don't Dalang follow his example?"
Mingyue's words reminded Li Qing'an that the so-called four trunks of Wu Zetian were actually four large iron boxes, encouraging the public to file a lawsuit. Although Wu Zetian was used to eradicate political enemies, it did play a role in supervising officials. Its essence is to mobilize the people and lower-level officials to supervise corrupt officials. Although Pei Mian's corrupt corruption is too powerful, the people below dare not report it for fear of being retaliated, on the other hand, it lacks a supervision mechanism.
If he set up Sibao in Anxi, encourage the public to submit letters and expose them, and then the supervision department of Chang'an will be supervised, this will undoubtedly be a huge deterrent to Anxi officials.
