The first thousand two hundred and seventieth chapters invite the Taiping magistrate
"Tan Lun, the prefect of Taizhou, has seen all of you on duty." After hearing the news, Tan Lun, the prefect of Taizhou, hurried to pay homage and bowed very respectfully.
Although Tan Lun's official position is higher than that of Xu Hai and others, who asked Xu Hai and others to come from the center of power in the capital? The saying that the capital official has three levels is not casual, and what is more, they are executing the emperor's orders.
.
"Prefect Tan is so polite, I can't bear it. We came to Guibao from the capital this time to obey the Holy Spirit's decree. We have two main tasks. The first is to verify the affairs of the Zhejiang Provincial Commissioner and the Procuratorate, and to carry out peace.
The case of Zhu Ping'an of Nanzhi County colluding with grain merchants to extort grain merchants and accepting huge bribes; the second is to investigate the flood disaster situation in the south of the Yangtze River. Today's visit to Guibao is mainly to verify the case of Zhu Ping'an's grain bribery, and also to investigate the flood disaster situation in Guifu." Jing
Xu Hai, leader of the Southern Investigation Team, said to Taizhou Magistrate Tan Lun very politely.
Investigate Zhu Pingan’s corruption case?!
After hearing this, Tan Lun, the prefect of Taizhou, couldn't help but be startled. Has the news about Zhu Ping'an's collusion with grain merchants, extortion of grain merchants, and acceptance of bribes already reached the capital?! It's only been more than half a month, how come the news has spread so much?
quick?!
After he received the report from Taiping County Magistrate half a month ago, he put the matter on hold for the time being due to some reasons. Recently, he is thinking that after half a month has passed, the situation in Jingnan should be getting out of control, and he is preparing to close the network.
, I didn’t expect that this matter would be reported to the higher authorities. The capital city had already sent people down to investigate.
This is a problem!
When there was a problem with the officials in his own jurisdiction, he failed to deal with it in time. Instead, the capital sent people to deal with it.
If you really want to pursue the case, you can't escape the responsibility. If there is a problem in your own jurisdiction, no matter whether you are the one who committed the crime, you, the prefect, will bear the responsibility. At the most minor level, it means inaction; at the most serious level, isn't it just cover-up?
!
Thinking of this, Taizhou Magistrate Tan Lun couldn't help but frown. Firstly, he regretted his original decision. Secondly, he was dissatisfied with the Taiping Magistrate for bringing the matter to the capital and exceeding his authority to report it. This has been a taboo since ancient times!
Although Xu Hai and others did not say anything, Tan Lun knew that it was the magistrate of Taiping County who stabbed Zhu Ping'an. He had heard people say before that the magistrate of Taiping came to inquire about his report on Zhu Ping'an in a roundabout way! Later, someone said that the Nanjing official
In the case of Ke Yougui, Liu Wannian came to Taizhou Prefecture to visit the Taiping County Magistrate. Now that he thinks about it, Liu Wannian must have been invited by the Taiping County Magistrate and used Liu Wannian's identity to impeach Zhu Ping'an.
This Taiping magistrate
How could I protect corrupt officials? Taizhou Magistrate Tan Lun couldn't help but give Taiping Magistrate a bad review in his heart.
"I will try my best to cooperate with you. In fact, I have received reports from Taiping County Magistrate and others about Zhu Pingan's collusion with grain merchants, raising grain prices, and accepting bribes half a month ago.
He was promoted to the post of Zhejiang Provincial Envoy and Inspector, and he was in the limelight. With only an official document defining the price of grain, I was afraid that it would be difficult to convict him because of the many excuses he had made. Instead, he would only frighten the snake. Therefore, I set up a website and did not publish it.
, leaving a fixed time for incriminating evidence. I was just about to close the net these days, but I didn’t expect the sergeants to come. It’s all my fault. I’m tired of the sergeants traveling thousands of miles to make this trip.”
Tan Lun, the prefect of Taizhou, handed over to Xu Hai and others, said apologetically, and defended himself without leaving any trace. I had received criminal clues about the corrupt official Zhu Ping'an half a month ago, and I have already opened the net.
The reason why Zhu Pingan was not dealt with on the spot was to fix the evidence and to deal with Zhu Pingan better.
Xu Hai frowned slightly when he heard this. In his opinion, since he had already received the clues to expose Zhu Ping'an, he should deal with them as soon as possible. Every extra day of delay will make the people of Jingnan suffer one more day of sin. In the past half month,
At that time, I don’t know what kind of disaster happened to the people of Jingnan due to Zhu Ping’an.
However, Taizhou Magistrate Tan Lun's behavior is understandable. Zhu Pingan had just made great achievements in fighting the Japanese and had just issued an official document defining grain prices. If Zhu Pingan is to be convicted of corruption based on this alone, there is not enough evidence.
It is sufficient, and Zhu Ping'an must have a lot of sophistry and shirk, making it difficult to convict him.
However, Xu Haijue should still deal with it as soon as possible. Although it may not be possible to convict Zhu Ping'an, the people of Jingnan can definitely suffer less.
"Plan before taking action and never fight an uncertain battle. Magistrate Tan has done a good job. Zhu Pingan is a treacherous and cunning person. I have a lot of knowledge in the capital. If Magistrate Tan had taken action at that time, Zhu Pingan would have been able to get away with it."
." Zhang Wenbo, head of the Criminal Department, was very satisfied with the actions of Taizhou Magistrate Tan Lun and praised him full of praise.
From his point of view, he is not concerned about the life and death of the people in Jingnan, he is concerned about Zhu Pingan! In the past half month, the situation in Jingnan must have been corrupted, and the evidence of Zhu Pingan's guilt has been established.
, they will definitely successfully handle the Zhu Pingan corruption case this time!
"However, if you don't move, you will win. If you move, you will win. Magistrate Tan has mastered the secrets of the art of war. Without Magistrate Tan's early preparation, I am afraid that we will return without success this time. After this case is completed, we will report it truthfully.
We will not ignore the early achievements of Magistrate Tan." Peng Cheng, the censor of Zhejiang Province, nodded in agreement.
Wang Meng, the head of the Household Department, also nodded.
Hearing that Zhang Wenbo and others had no intention of holding him accountable, Tan Lun's heart dropped into his stomach.
I just didn't expect that Shangchao could be so easy to talk to. Tan Lun couldn't help but be surprised. But soon, Tan Lun also figured out the reason. Zhang Wenbo, Wang Meng and Peng Cheng were all strict members, and they wanted to kill Zhu Ping'an.
.Zhu Pingan offended Yan Song in the capital and participated in Yang Jisheng's impeachment case of Yan Song. Before Yang Jisheng submitted the memorial, he proposed revisions to Yang Jisheng's fatal omissions in the memorial. However, Yang Jisheng did not adopt Zhu Pingan's opinions, otherwise success or failure would be a matter of doubt.
, Zhang Wenbo and the others wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Zhu Ping'an. Their original behavior of not revealing anything and obtaining evidence of the crime was exactly what they wanted, that's why they were so easy to talk to.
Xu Hai originally wanted to say something, but when he saw Zhang Wenbo and others saying this, he kept silent.
The purpose of coming here this time is to investigate the case of Zhu Ping'an colluding with grain merchants to engage in corruption. Let's forget about the rest.
"Governor Tan, this memorial is also the first memorial jointly delivered by the magistrate of Taiping County, your jurisdiction, and Liu Wannian of the Sixth Section. Perhaps he has other clues to Zhu Ping'an's corruption case. We are going this time
When Jingnan inspects Zhu Ping'an, he will first go to Taiping County and ask the Taiping County Magistrate to go with him."
Before setting off, Xu Hai told Tan Lun that he would invite the magistrate of Taiping County to go with him. This was decided on the way.
"As it should be."
Tan Lun cupped his hands and nodded, silently making a note to Taiping County Magistrate in his heart, it turned out to be you!
