After Huaiyu went down to court, he went directly to the Yushitai.
"Is there anyone else giving gold today?"
"Well, I sent it again. Today it's thirty taels of gold. There are twelve gold collars each. Three of them are placed on my case." Zhao Renben, the imperial censor in the palace, said somewhat helplessly.
Give away ten taels on the first day, twenty taels on the second day, and thirty taels on the third day. This is quite courageous, but it is a pity that it is used in the wrong place.
"Do you know who sent it?"
"Well, I've been giving it away for three days in a row, how could I not know about it?"
Wu Huaiyu picked up a pen and paper and began to write a notice.
"Anyone who has taken bribes must surrender within three days, and those who survive will be seen carrying a coffin." Wu Huaiyu wrote this solemn and solemn notice in Yan style, signed his name, stamped it, and handed it to Zhao Renben, "Please Zhao Dianyu.
This notice is posted in Taichung."
"Give them another three days. Those who surrender within three days will be given a lighter sentence."
This notice is murderous.
After Zhang Renben left, Wu Huaiyu called Zhang Pu.
"I've seen the Censor who governs books and serves as a censor."
"Zhang Shiyu sits down."
Wu Huaiyu looked at the person opposite him, and said that this person was able to enter the Yushitai because of Wu Huaiyu's merits. Previously, the emperor asked officials to recommend virtuous people, and Wu Huaiyu's recommendation list included Zhang Pu and Zhang Xuansu.
At that time, he was still the governor of Jingcheng, recording affairs and joining the army. Li Shimin summoned him to the court for questioning. He was very satisfied with the interview and was directly promoted to the sixth rank of Shi Yushi.
Now among the four serving censors in the censorship station, he is considered to be the older one.
Several previous censors, such as Ma Zhou, were transferred away one after another. Ma Zhou was promoted to Shizhong and now he has been moved to Zhongshushe.
Both Wu Huaiyu and Xiao Yu and Gao Jifu planned to let Zhang Xuansu preside over the Taiwan Court and know the affairs of the Taiwan Court, which can also be called the leader of the Taiwan Court. Today, the Taiwan Court is mainly responsible for judicial interrogation.
The Yushitai petitioned for the re-establishment of the East and West Taiwan prisons. After the East and West debates, the emperor has approved it, and his power is still quite large.
"His Majesty has been very dissatisfied with the Yushitai recently and wants to rectify it comprehensively. We are now ordered to rectify it, but as soon as we started, we found that there are many problems in the Yushitai, such as this financial problem, the matter of the public house's money and the rent of the public house.
I can’t figure it out. Now there are still people openly offering bribes to prevent investigation.
You are the leader of Zhitaiyuan, let’s conduct an internal self-examination first,”
Although Zhang Xuansu had only been in the Yushitai for a year, he was known for being selfless, loyal and courageous in admonishing. Some people even called him the second in Wei Zheng.
Of course, he came from a lower background, like Wu Huaiyu, he was a minor official. This was an embarrassing experience that Zhang Xuansu could not get rid of. Of course, Wu Huaiyu didn't care, but Zhang Xuansu cared about this as much as people of this era.
It was also very difficult for Dou Jiande to go from being a foreign official to a household in Jingcheng County. Dou Jiande conquered Jingcheng. Because he led the people to resist fiercely, he wanted to be executed. Thousands of people in the city interceded for him, and some were even willing to die on his behalf. The official
It has a good voice and is popular with the people.
Dou Jiande was very surprised when he heard this. He is just a county official. This kind of county official who is responsible for money and food is even just an expatriate. This kind of person is often the most despised by the people for corruption and bribery. This person actually has such a good reputation? Dou Jiande
So he not only released him personally, but also appointed him as the official censor.ωωw..net
But Zhang Xuansu actually refused to accept it. It was not until he heard that Yang Guang had been killed in Jiangdu that he accepted Dou Jiande's appointment, and then he was appointed as Huangmen Minister. During Dou Jiande's court, he still put forward many loyal suggestions, and he was very popular.
Appreciated by Dou Jiande.
It is a pity that Dou Jiande was defeated by the Tang Dynasty, and Zhang Xuansu and others also followed him to join the Tang Dynasty, but they were only awarded minor officials.
However, judging from his experience in holding important positions such as the Secretary of the Censor and the Minister of Huangmen in the Dou Jiande Dynasty, and he did a good job, he is indeed very capable, but his platform has fallen.
Ability sometimes does not have much to do with one's origin.
Although he is only a sixth-rank imperial censor now, he often writes letters to the emperor and gives advice in person, which is highly appreciated by Li Shimin.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Wu, I will definitely investigate to the end."
Zhang Xuansu was born as a minor official and once served as the Huangmen Minister. He knew very well the thoughts of the officials below him. Whether it was because of helplessness or because everyone said the same thing, he had never been able to understand it. He was the head of Jingcheng City.
When Cao, the county householder, was busy thinking of ways to make money, he was the only one who took matters seriously and even upheld justice for the people.
"The station has indeed been in need of rectification for a long time."
Zhang Xuansu has just been in Yushitai for a year, and he has also discovered many problems, but he was not responsible for them before, and the money of public servants is also related to all Taichung officials. He also reported to the superiors and even the emperor, but there was no response.
, and let it go.
Now that the commander Wu Huaiyu wants to investigate and deal with the matter personally, he is of course willing to take the lead.
Auditors who were seconded from the Ministry of Civil Affairs' branch office came in to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the accounts over the years. These are the most professional masters of auditing.
In three days, the accounts of Yushitai were thoroughly investigated.
There are many accounts, but they are not difficult to check.
Especially those who did the accounting before did not expect to be investigated.
In the hands of these professional scribes, all the problems were checked out word by word.
Wu Huaiyu also got another report from An Yuanshou. This report was not about the accounts, but about the officials of the Yushitai, especially those who wrote books and made history.
The yamen are iron-clad and have smooth flow of officials, but many civil servants remain unchanged.
Especially those non-staff personnel who do not have a formal establishment. Ninety-nine percent of these people have little room for advancement anyway, that is, they just make a living. Of course, wearing the skin of a non-staff member of Yushitai can immediately make them more prestigious and much more convenient.
of.
Even in these years, some non-staff personnel, through lending, purchasing, rent collection and other matters, have made much more money than the salaries of the sixth, seventh and eighth grade censors in the Yushitai.
Six Doors does not check accounts, but directly checks people, investigates their families and property, and gets to the bottom of everything. Some things may not go through the accounts, but the money they get will always flow into their pockets in the end. It is impossible.
Donated to the temple.
Once the two reports were combined, those people were as clear as crabs on the beach after the tide had passed.
With these, Wu Huaiyu can take action directly.
But he still gave those people a chance, hoping that they would voluntarily surrender, and even said that as long as those people wiped their butts clean and returned all the money they had embezzled from the affairs they had handled over the years, they would be given a lighter sentence, and there would be no further investigation after they retired.
other.
It's a pity that Wu Huaiyu's goodwill is regarded as weak by some people.
Some people even gathered openly and privately, shouting that the law should not be punished, and these subordinate officials wanted to unite and fight.
In the past three days, someone even deliberately turned all the company capital into bad debts and lent it to a businessman, and then the businessman disappeared. In fact, the businessman only existed in his account book, and there was no such person at all.
, all the procedures such as drawings, guarantees, etc. are all fake.
He committed the crime against the odds and deliberately squandered the money from the prostitute.
Three days later, when Zhang Xuansu sent someone to take him back to Taiwan Prison for interrogation, he actually asked his family members to carry a coffin and follow him to the gate of Taiwan Prison.
The clamoring madness shocked the Taichung officials who were paying close attention secretly.
"How dare a money-catching magistrate be so arrogant?"
Even Xiao Yu, the imperial censor, heard about it and rushed back to Taichung from the political affairs hall of Menxia Province.
Gao Feng also asked, "What exactly does this person rely on?"
That's right. How dare someone with no identity do this?
"There is indeed some basis for it," Huaiyu smiled, and he took out a file, which was the one who captured Qian Lingshi.
"This person is Pang Xiangshou's nephew,"
"But Pang Xiangshou, the governor of Puzhou?"
"Exactly this person."
Xiao Yu frowned when he heard it was him.
Pang Xiangshou was an old member of the Qin Palace. Like his brothers Qiu Xinggong, he was once Li Shimin's confidant. He even saved Li Shimin's life on the battlefield. Since the emperor came to the throne, Pang Xiangshou has also served as the governor of Puzhou and the governor of Puzhou. He is more respected.
The emperor's trusted confidant.
Gao Feng said, "I heard that Pang Xiangshou is very greedy for money and likes to accept bribes and gifts."
Pang Yongye is the son of Pang Xiangshou's eldest brother. His father also joined the Tang army in his early years, but died early. Pang Yongye was his concubine. He had neither learning nor skills since he was a child. He found a job as an outcast official in Yushitai to catch Qian Pinzi, which was exempted from the consequences.
Other services can also make money.
This guy is very bold. In name, he only seizes 50 yuan of public money, but in fact, this guy collects private funds everywhere, and then lends money in the name of Yushitai Gong's money, and even the interest he lends is higher than the stipulated amount.
high.
As soon as the six doors were launched, this guy was completely defeated.
Not only did he absorb private funds to lend money in the name of public institutions, he even lent usury loans with higher interest rates. And then, a lot of the money he absorbed not only did not pay interest when it was due, but even the principal was not returned to others.
They use various methods of deception and deception to attract funds, use various methods of violent collection, capture wives and daughters to pay off debts, force people to sell themselves into slavery, etc.
Quite arrogant.
He really took advantage of Yushitai's brand name. Many people put their money with him because of the high interest rate he promised. Secondly, they thought it was lent to Yushitai. Furthermore, this guy was from the county.
Gong, nephew of the governor.
Who knows that this guy has no bottom line when it comes to deceiving people. When everyone finds out that they have been deceived and goes to find him, they will find that there are more deceptions. For example, the person who came forward to collect their money at the beginning, although there was Pang Yongye, but the signatures, paintings, etc. were all
There is no name for him.
I can't even find a single word about Yushitai and so on.
A mere money-catcher, in less than ten years, he has amassed an astonishing fortune. He is very famous in the lending industry in Chang'an. He has opened many gold and silver shops, rice shops, quality warehouses, etc. in Chang'an.
They all also engage in financial lending business.
There is even a brothel and gambling house. Many women in the brothel end up in it because they cannot repay their debts.
He also has many fields in Gyeonggi Province, which were acquired through these illegal means.
In name, he only lends out 50 guan of capital and gets back 50 guan in interest in a year, but in fact, this guy's capital is more than 50,000 guan.
Now that I have found him, he is still so arrogant.
Carry the coffin to Yushitai Prison and see what you can do to me.
"Since this person deliberately accepted bribes and violated the law after the announcement, he should be punished with an additional level of crime. Carrying a coffin to provoke and defying the king's law should be punished with an additional level of crime."
"I suggest taking him down directly, letting the Taiyuan Shi Yushi interrogate him clearly, and report it to His Majesty for disposal."
Although the emperor has agreed to set up the East and West prisons in Yushitai, this is mainly to facilitate the trial of officials' crimes in Yushitai and to prevent the leakage of case information, etc.
However, the emperor only granted Yushitai the authority to set up east and west prisons, with its own prison and the power to interrogate, but not to convict.
The power to make judgments based on facts and the law belongs to Dali Temple.
In order to prevent the Yushitai from making false accusations during the interrogation before Dali Temple was convicted, a third-party department, the Criminal Department, was sent to interview the criminal himself to see whether the interrogation report was true, and finally to obtain his signature for confirmation.
However, the Yushitai has this power of interrogation, and it is still very powerful.
Zhang Xuansu was very efficient, or Pang Yongye was very arrogant and did not take him seriously, nor did he deny it in front of all the evidence.
After getting his confession, Zhang Xuansu handed it over to Wu Huaiyu.
Wu Huaiyu looked through it, and based on these confessions and evidence, it was not an exaggeration for this guy to die a hundred times, and his uncle Pang Xiangshou was obviously implicated.
I really don't know whether he is arrogant or stupid.
