Chapter 638: The ceremony of the soldiers after the ceremony
Due to the sensitivity of the case, the Chengdu Supervisory Office conducted a very detailed investigation.
Hundreds of inspectors are all distributed along the Langzhou track. Starting from the frequency of Langzhou track operation, they investigate the number of horses on the Langzhou track, and extend this to the origin of Chen's horse trading.
Starting from the villages and towns along the Langzhou Railway, we visited the people along the road to gain a basic understanding of the safety and maintenance of the Langzhou Railway, in order to determine whether there were incidents in which human lives were taken lightly.
Continuously ride the rail carriages in Langzhou in order to understand the security situation on the rail carriages in Langzhou. The inspectors were trained in the Jiangwu Hall and had a complete case handling system. The efficiency of case handling shown is really not an exaggeration. It is really shocking.
filled the entire court.
It is so detailed and comprehensive that it can even be called an exhaustive plan.
It was precisely this kind of detailed investigation that allowed this supervision case to proceed for more than three months. During this period, the information responded was beneficial to the courtiers to a certain extent.
Fu Bi also had several confrontations with officials alone. He was very worried about the impact this incident would have on the prestige of the officials... As for whether to deal with it or not, Fu Bi no longer had any hope.
However, the officials still seemed confident and understood everything.
Even Fan Chunren had a worried look on his face. He and several chief inspectors of the Zong Supervisory Yamen had almost torn apart the supervision regulations. Even so, they could not find any basis to deal with Langzhou Chen.
Fan Chunren even asked officials from the General Supervisory Office to go to Chengdu more than once...
This is the first time the Supervisory Yamen has conducted such a massive investigation. Is it really going to end in a big way? Although the Supervisory Yamen is only responsible for investigations, Fan Chunren is really not happy... He really dislikes Langzhou Chen
's approach.
"The general office and the supervisory office are only responsible for investigations. As long as the investigation is true, this will fulfill my supervisory office responsibility!"
Cai Que advised Fan Chunren.
"I know!" Fan Chunren didn't give up, but had to accept the reality. He also knew that no matter what, the Chen family in Langzhou could be regarded as a heirloom of farming and education, and it was impossible to do those things that would make people angry. But he couldn't live with it.
"General Yamen, once the investigation results come out, the supervisory Yamen will no longer be the target of public criticism!"
These words made Fan Chunren very disdainful. The Supervisory Yamen is the supervisory Yamen of the country and the emperor's personal army. How can it be limited to whether it is concerned by the courtiers?
The result has basically taken shape. Fan Chunren had to use this result to report to the officials.
"Officials, the supervisory office's investigation results show that Langzhou has not violated any criminal laws and decrees of the state!"
Fan Chunren's emotions are emotions, but he has never affected political affairs because of his emotions. His reports to officials are truthful.
"Yaofu, this incident has fully proved the Supervisory Yamen's ability to handle cases. I am very satisfied. The Supervisory Yamen is an upright and honest team, which is very good."
"Yaofu, you have to understand that an investigation does not necessarily have to find out the problem. An investigation only needs to have the results. This is the responsibility of the supervisory yamen. You have done a good job."
Fan Chunren thought that the officials were speaking sarcastically, but judging from the officials' expressions, they seemed to be sincere. The question is, how will this investigation, which the officials tried so decisively to resolve, end?
Everyone ignored the Imperial City Division...
When the Supervisory Office openly investigated Langzhou Railroad, the Imperial City Division also launched an investigation into the entire Langzhou Chen family and the owners of Langzhou Railroad.
"Are you saying that in addition to being involved in Dali Mining City, the Chen family is also involved in the manganese mines in Guangnan? They are also involved in the Yangtze River Shipping Company? And the Chengdu Cement General Plant?"
Zhao Xi was a little surprised by the content of Wang Zhongzheng's report. He had to admire Chen's management for nearly a century, and nothing had fallen behind.
"Back to the official family, it is indeed the case. Although the Chen family is not involved, there are also in-laws involved. In the past hundred years, the Chen family has been very close to many gentry families in Chengdu Prefecture and even in the southwest of the country through in-laws."
"How much involvement is the Chen family directly involved?"
"Back to the official family, Dali Mining City and Chengdu Cement Factory. The rest are paid for by the Chen family, or are part of the partnership with other in-laws."
This is enough to play with.
When Zhao Xi learned about the Chen family's involvement in Dali Mining City, he already had an idea of how to deal with the Chen family in Langzhou.
Now there are actually other factors... Zhao Xi feels that it is better to try not to provoke public anger.
Although this is just a last resort, it is also related to the justice of the court. Zhao Xi does not want to use this until the last moment.
Deterrence is most effective when placed in the hand.
"Announcement that the cabinet ministers will enter the palace to discuss matters..."
The results have come out. The Chengdu Supervisory Office has handed over the complete investigation report.
This matter needs to be taken to the next step.
I guess the court is also aware of this.
"Dear elders, this is the final investigation report issued by the Chengdu Supervisory Office. Attached are all the testimonials and descriptions of the investigation process."
Zhao Xi instructed the internal prison officer and brought out a stack of papers...~
The final result has not been spread, but there is a lot of hearsay: the court did not obtain evidence that Chen violated the criminal laws of the Song Dynasty.
It is not difficult to guess, after all, the Chen clan is still the same as before.
I don’t know if it counts as a convergence, but basically the original track billing method has not been changed.
No one paid much attention to the investigation process, as everyone already knew about it, and the conduct of the supervisory yamen is now very powerful in the country.
Everyone pays attention to the results...~
"Official family...~"
Fu Bi was speechless. He really didn't know how to comfort the officials.
This investigation result is obviously unfavorable to the court, and it also indicates that the investigation decided by the officials will be fine.
A real anticlimax.
Such a result, such a huge momentum, will not damage the official family's reputation...~although it will not do much damage, after all, there is such a record.
The key is that provoking such an investigation and producing such results will soon lead to turmoil in certain matters in the court.
"It's okay! Gentlemen, I mean to pay homage first... In other words, I will issue an edict to warn the local states, prefectures, and counties that operate the tracks privately, and require them to implement the rates unified by the imperial court within one month.
standard!"
"Official family...~"
Not only Fu Bi, but also Han Jiang, Lu Gongbi, and Zhang Fangping all shouted out.
What are the officials doing? When this matter reaches this point, the more it continues, the greater the impact it will have on the reputation of the officials and the court.
Enough is enough, publishing a fair investigation report and clearing Chen's name is the way to make up for the damage this incident has caused to the official family and the court, and to minimize it.
And depending on what the official wants, should this continue?
Issue edicts and warn local authorities, but what if no local authorities respond? Wouldn't this make matters worse for the official's prestige?
"Fellow cabinet ministers, let me tell you if I issued such an edict and the cabinet has reasons to reject it!"
"I don't dare!"
What can I say? The officials were obviously emotional.
