Chapter 840: Conviction in the lobby, Lu Feng’s suspicion
"How many years has Mr. Tian been in Chengdu Prefecture?"
Shen Tang interrupted Tian Guanhua!
Tian Guanhua was stunned and replied, "More than four years!"
"Chengdu Mansion is still like this after four years. Is this what Mr. Tian calls Xu Xu Tu Zhi?"
Shen Tang smiled faintly, "You have your own methods, and I also have my own methods! Facts have proved that your methods are not advisable.
At least, until now, the Chengdu government is still seriously corrupt, and officials at both the top and bottom levels are not in control!"
"Moreover, Mr. Tian can wait for another four years, and it doesn't matter if I wait for a few more years.
But what about the people of Chengdu Prefecture?"
"If Mr. Tian is on the same journey as me, I will naturally welcome you.
If there is a different path, I hope Mr. Tian will not block my way! I am not a soft-hearted person! During this trip to Chengdu Mansion, if I don’t retreat, otherwise, a peaceful world will definitely emerge!”
After saying that, Shen Tang waved his hand and asked Tian Guanhua to leave.
In the next few days, Shen Tang inspected the farmland and inspected the water conservancy dams, almost without stopping! It was not until the third day that Shen Tang was promoted to the government office again!
Shen Tang sat behind the desk and looked at the officials at all levels in the lobby! He was looking through the errors and omissions in the account books verified by Lu Feng!
For ordinary people, it is not easy to verify these many account books.
However, Shen Tang directly called all the shopkeepers and accountants of the Shao family in Chengdu through Shao Mu's tone!
These people are the best at these things. In just three days, they found out all the corruption in them!
"I have verified the account books for three years, and found that the amount of corruption in the treasury and granary amounts to nearly one million taels! My memorial has been sent to Lin'an in the early morning to report to His Majesty!"
After Shen Tang finished speaking, several people in the lobby felt their legs weaken and fell to the ground.
Many of the other people's faces were pale and their expressions were full of fear.
The target of self-stealing is the treasury and granary. The imperial court will never tolerate this kind of thing.
At worst, I might be sentenced to military exile!
"Xu Hao, the owner of the house, took over the money of the Mo Mansion and collected 150,000 taels! You can plead guilty!"
"Sir, please spare my life..." Xu Jingcheng couldn't bear it any longer and fell to his knees!
"Li Jingran, the clerk in the household, is greedy for thirty-two thousand taels of black money!"
"Liu De, clerk of the Ministry of Household Affairs..."
"The official of the workshop..."
"Workshop scribe..."
Shen Tang continued to read the names one by one, and finally gave up after having read out eleven or two names.
Among them, households account for the majority, and there are also several workshops!
"Come here, put all the people I care about in prison! When the emperor's order comes, we will all be punished!"
Shen Tang gave a sharp shout, and then, one by one, strong and burly men walked into the lobby and directly dragged out a group of weak people.
Shen Tang patted the directory in his hand and walked down the hall! Every person he passed would cause trembling! Suddenly, nearly a third of the hall was empty. How could other people not be afraid?
Moreover, everyone knows that other people may be less greedy than those mentioned before, but they are also contaminated by this matter!
"Lu Feng!"
Shen Tang called softly.
Not long after, Lu Feng walked into the lobby carrying a burning brazier!
Under the surprised gaze of everyone, Shen Tang directly threw the directory in his hand into the brazier! The flames quickly engulfed the directory, and the expressions of everyone present changed, wondering what Shen Tang meant.
Shen Tang clasped his hands behind his back and walked slowly in the lobby. After a long while, he said leisurely, "I know that in the officialdom, there are too many things that I can't control! Therefore, in addition to the people I just mentioned, I It has been reported, but the others have not been reported to me!"
"This is my first time here. The things that happened before are over here! I hope that you will not do anything that dissatisfies me again!"
"One time, you can get away with it, but the next time, you may lose your life! You have also passed the scientific examination and are blessed by the emperor! I hope you don't lose your future!"
"My lord Shengming!"
Almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief, especially the leader Tian Guanhua! If Shen Tang acted arbitrarily and really wiped out the entire Chengdu Mansion, it would definitely cause a big mess! But now, with fierce means After punishing some people and deterring others, I think the atmosphere in Chengdu’s government offices will change drastically.
"Sir, may I ask your Majesty the new prefect..." Tian Guanhua asked.
"Yu Huiran was greedy for millions of dollars, and I have reported it to you!"
After hesitating for a moment, Tian Guanhua said carefully, "Although Lord Yu and these minor officials are slightly inferior to the Lord, they are also intricately connected! Even in the imperial court, there will be people who can help with matters..."
"hehe!"
Shen Tang smiled disdainfully, "I have ordered that Yu Huiran be imprisoned and wait for His Majesty's decree! I am not only the prefect of Chengdu Prefecture, but also the pacifier of Chengdu Prefecture, Marquis Zhongwu! Not to mention a mere prefect, even if he is As long as an important minister of the court is found guilty, I can knock him into the dust! The decree of the court will be issued within ten days at most, so just wait and see!"
The domineering words made everyone present extremely awed. Yes, Shen Tang holds a high position at such an age. In terms of background or the attention of the saints, how can ordinary people compare to him?
However, being under such a powerful prefect, it is not clear whether it is a blessing or a curse for them!
"In addition, the identities of the people who were caught trespassing into the treasury and granary have been basically verified! Moreover, behind them, there are many third-class yamen servants and even class leaders involved!"
"Prison Director, please investigate all the matters and hand them over to me for punishment! These three teams of yamen officers have been corrupted and are no longer useful! I will replace the heads of the three teams of yamen officers in the near future. If there are any deficiencies in the remaining yamen officers, they will be replaced." I will temporarily let my personal guard take over!"
After Shen Tang's words fell, everyone present responded to his orders! In fact, most of these government officials have connections with these officials. However, Shen Tang has just captured more than a dozen people. Who dares to speak out to refute Shen Tang's words now?
After the lobby, Lu Feng, who was following Shen Tang, asked in confusion, "Sir, many of these people are guilty. Why not take them all down instead of keeping them?"
Shen Tang smiled and said nothing, while the old housekeeper on the side said with a smile, "If an honest official is too busy, it will embarrass his subordinates! There are tens of thousands of officials in the world, and there are endless people who are greedy! Even if I am just one Even if you kill them all, you may not be able to finish them all! Moreover, even if you really kill them all, then the many states, counties and counties in the world will still need someone to manage them! Then, if you change a group of people, you won't be greedy for ink, right? ?”
"But the master is in a position of great wisdom!"
