"Hu Pi, the Confidential Minister of Menxia Province, did not teach his son well, but the charges have not been verified. Hu Pi, the Confidential Minister of Menxia Province, and Si Tongzheng, Hu Gan, dismissed them on the spot for investigation and handed them over to Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
, the Criminal Department, and the Third Department assisted Dongchang in conducting strict investigations."
"Dongchang must uproot the people and officials involved. No matter who is involved in this case or what their background is, as long as the evidence is conclusive, we will arrest the person first and then report to this palace."
"After the case is verified, it will be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for conviction. According to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, those who should be killed will be killed, those who should be dismissed will be dismissed, and those who should be jailed will be jailed."
Having said this, Li Chen looked at Chen Tongdao expressionlessly: "Remember, there is no East Palace faction. All ministers are ministers of the Qin Dynasty and are treated equally."
Chen Tongxin raised his voice, not daring to show any slightness, and immediately responded: "I humbly obey my orders."
"Zheng Baorong! Xu Junlou!"
Li Chen turned his head and shouted again.
The two of them quarreled, especially Xu Junlou, who had been a transparent person from beginning to end, and hurriedly ran to Zheng Baorong and knelt down.
Looking at Xu Junlou, Li Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, changed the topic and said: "Xu Junlou, you have handed over today and are the new governor of the capital. In your opinion, what else needs to be done about this case?"
how?
For such a big matter, it’s your turn to speak?
Xu Junlou's mind started to heat up, and he felt all sorts of thoughts coming to him. He swallowed hard, and his mind was running wildly.
His Highness has already ordered an investigation into the officials who may be involved in the case. It is not his turn to say anything about this matter, and he must not say anything about it.
Then the rest are... the common people.
"Your Highness, I believe that all rice shops in the capital should be quickly inspected, their responsibilities should be investigated based on the accounts, and the grain stored in the rice shops' warehouses should be sold at normal prices."
"In addition, the Beijing government should send out government officials to strictly investigate the occurrence of price gouging in the market. If there are again those who commit crimes, they will be severely punished."
"In addition, the ministers saw that the salt affairs were in chaos. Official salt officials deliberately withheld their share of salt and refused to sell it to the people, and secretly accepted bribes. In addition, they learned from the people that there was no way to report the matter, and they were retaliated against. It can be seen that there has been a situation in the capital.
This is a major corruption case, I suggest that we investigate it strictly!"
Xu Junlou's thoughts became clearer and clearer as he spoke, and his tone became more firm and confident.
After hearing this, Li Chen nodded slightly, quite satisfied.
"Now that you have an idea, go ahead and put up a notice in the name of the capital government, informing the people that anyone who bought food at a price higher than the market price within this month can go to the Yamen with their vouchers to make up for the difference.
Set up a court, and you will sit in the court in person. As long as the common people come to report officials' inaction or disorderly behavior, you will deal with it personally!"
Li Chen's words made Xu Junlou's eyes brighten up. He suddenly felt energetic and said loudly: "Wei Chen, obey your orders!"
Li Chen's eyes moved to Zheng Baorong's head.
Zheng Baorong had a miserable look on his face and looked at Li Chen helplessly.
Li Chen said angrily: "If it weren't for your great contribution in promoting sweet potatoes, I would have ordered someone to chop off your head!"
"I don't want to do things well all day long, but instead think about building relationships. I also say that there is no backer in the court. It is so pitiful, but it is nonsense. If you are dedicated to serving the public, why don't you have a backer? I am your backer!
"
Although Zheng Baorong was still frightened after hearing this, half of his heart was put back in his stomach.
After hearing this, he knew that his head was saved.
