After being caught and tortured, Chen Yibao vomited out the whole story. He said that the family business had been in a slump for a few years, and last year he started to enter the stock market, and in the end he lost even more.
The family could no longer survive, so the uncles at home begged him to find a solution, and even thought of all the solutions for him.
First set up a few private construction companies, use Chen Yibao's relationship to obtain the work-for-relief projects, then deduct wages, and transfer the project funds to the stock market through transactions between several private companies, and then transfer them from Chen Yibao to the stock market.
A fund invested by someone bought a large amount of high-priced junk stocks. In the end, the money turned into a pile of junk stocks, and the funds were transferred to the fund.
The entire plan seemed seamless. In the end, even if someone traced the funds into the stock market, there was nothing they could do.
But who would have thought that Hantong would directly intervene!
Moreover, the reason why Hantong arrested him was not for corruption, but for endangering national security.
After verifying the whole story, Hantong acted very quickly and rushed three hundred miles away to report to Jinling. After receiving the report, Li Xuan directly gave instructions to investigate and deal with it strictly.
As a result, Hantong rushed another three hundred miles and sent instructions to Shanghai and the Taiping Prefecture in southern Anhui. Within a few days, all the people involved in the case were directly captured, and naturally many of the Chen family were arrested.
One pot at a time.
Facing such a bold and corrupt official and his family, we have nothing to say, we must confiscate the family and exterminate them!
The local Supervisory Office quickly launched a public prosecution, and the court ruled on the same day, which was immediately implemented!
Within a few days, more than thirty adult men of the Chen family were sentenced to be beheaded, and the minor men, women and children were scattered and exiled to various Southeast Asian island colonies.
The huge Chen family completely collapsed overnight, not even a hair was left behind!
Hundreds of other people involved in the case, including the relevant management and employees of the securities company who cooperated with the Chen family, were all arrested. Those who deserved were killed, those who deserved were exiled, and those who deserved were assigned to the mining areas.
.
As for simply imprisoning criminals, the Tang Dynasty rarely imprisoned criminals simply.
Generally speaking, those who are sentenced to death are usually sentenced to death directly, while those whose crimes do not lead to death are sentenced to prison. However, for this prison sentence, they are usually sent directly to major mining areas for mining. After mining, it does not mean that they will be sent directly to the mines.
If he is released, he will still be exiled to overseas colonies.
Some of those implicated, with relatively minor charges, were sentenced to exile, and all were exiled to overseas colonies to enrich the colonies' population.
Therefore, if you commit a crime and want to stay in a cell all day long, eat and drink for free, and then come out again after a few years, that is basically impossible!
Either die, or work as a coolie in the mining area, or live, or be exiled overseas in the end!
Therefore, criminals in the Tang Empire actually had only two endings in the end, one was to die, and the other was to be exiled overseas!
Do you want to repent or repent or run out to harm the people again?
Sorry, no chance!
The Chen family was ruined. The hundreds of thousands of lost funds were recovered, and millions of taels of silver were confiscated from their home.
After doing this again and again, not only did I not lose money, I also made a lot of money!
When other people who had their hands or tried to get their hands on the disaster relief funds saw what happened to the Chen family, they all took a breath!
Those who wanted to get their hands on the disaster relief funds immediately gave up the idea, and those who had already gotten their hands on the disaster relief funds were thinking of ways to make amends one by one!
Those who withheld disaster relief funds immediately reissued them under various names. This money is too hot to handle, so it is better to send it out as soon as possible.
In some work-for-relief projects, the materials provided are shoddy, and the good materials are quickly replaced and the inferior materials are removed.
In short, those who have gotten their hands on the disaster relief funds, whether they are officials or businessmen, are trying to find ways to remedy the situation.
However, Hantong had no intention of letting them go!
Although their behavior is not as blatant as that of the Chen family, they have a huge appetite, but their nature is the same. Hantong will naturally not let these people go easily.
Want a remedy?
late!
Hantong is taking action, not only in Huai'an Prefecture, but also in the entire Jiangbei Province, North Anhui Province, Henan, and Shandong. In the above places, people are arrested by Hantong almost every day and then transferred to the judiciary.
By July, a month had passed since the flood, and after the disaster-stricken areas had calmed down, Hantong's actions were still not over. The scope of the arrests was not limited to corruption involving disaster relief funds.
It also extends to all acts of corruption and corruption.
In the past, Hantong had control over a large number of officials' corruption evidence, but catching corrupt officials was not their business scope, so before they just made a file and then ignored it. Now, the Holy Emperor has delegated power to them and let them
When they catch corrupt officials, they must catch them one at a time. There is no need to investigate. They just pull the officials' files from the archives room and then arrest them based on the list.
In the end, even Li Xuan himself had to stop Hantong's actions and be careful not to arrest all the officials.
There is no way, there are too many corrupt officials, and the proportion is quite high. Nine out of ten officials are guilty of corruption, just more or less, and in different ways.
Some people directly accept bribes or even actively ask for bribes.
Some people receive bribes indirectly through family businesses and other means.
Some people use their power for personal gain and use their power to seek benefits for their relatives and friends.
And many of these are recorded in Hantong's investigation files. Now that they are found and arrested, it will be natural to catch them accurately.
In the end, it was not only limited to the disaster-stricken areas, but also expanded to other areas, and even arrested all government offices in Gyeonggi Province. The level of the officials involved had already reached the level of minister.
Li Xuan spoke in person and asked Hantong to stop this mass arrest!
For more than a month before and after, Hantong arrested a total of one official of the second rank, eight officials of the third rank, 36 officials of the third rank, and thousands of middle and low-level officials of the fourth rank and below.
The scale of this is too great. If it continues, it will shake the empire's ruling power.
After all, corrupt officials are also officials. The administrative rule of the Tang Empire relied on officials to maintain it. If you catch all the corrupt officials, who will handle Li Xuan's affairs?
Therefore, when it comes to arresting corrupt officials, we must actually be moderate. We cannot arrest every corrupt official. In that case, 90% of the officials in the empire will have to be arrested.
And this, after the flood, the official rectification operation led by Hantong was the first time that all officials and the world knew the horror of Hantong!
