Although the Nanyuan Kingdom has always been relatively loose in its control over various localities, it also has a set of top-down evaluation rules. There are special yamen specifically for unannounced visits and handling of officials. For example, the "official affairs department" is the largest
The task of the special yamen is to investigate and secretly investigate matters related to officials in various places.
But just like bugs will always grow in the woods no matter what, corruption and perversion of the law at all levels below have never been eliminated. Even torture such as skinning and filling grass has no fundamental effect.
Some innocuous things like taking advantage of the public, or taking some private benefits from Sosou, or creating some convenience for the family, these are actually nothing in Nanyuan Kingdom, even those who specialize in investigating officials.
It won't be too difficult. At most, it will mark you down in the annual official evaluation. It will have an impact if you want to be promoted, but it will not incriminate you.
But even with such laxity and the warning of torture, there are still many people secretly doing evil things to dig up the wall. They don't just "get some", but use their rights as a sickle, trampling the law under their feet while doing whatever they want.
It is not uncommon for the people under the harvest rule to even form cliques for personal gain. Moreover, these big bugs often hide far deeper than the small bugs floating on the surface, and are more difficult to find.
Langyuan City is located in Beijiang County, and it is very sensitive in all aspects due to the special geographical location of Beijiang County. However, Langyuan City has a very high official reputation every year, and it is prosperous from top to bottom.
But on the contrary, secret messages often enter places such as the "Official Affairs Department" from various channels.
One or two things are not enough to attract people's attention. After all, Langyuan City has an excellent official reputation, and its city officials have been rated top-notch for more than ten years. It is not impossible for this kind of place to suffer some jealousy and slander. What's more,
Or an anonymous secret message.
For several consecutive years, there were as many as ten secret letters every year. The contents ranged from "corruption" to "violation of the law" and the matters involved could be described as lawless. Even the most arrogant person would not dare to say with certainty that everything was wrong.
It's a slander and a false accusation. What if? What if one of these things is true? That would be a big deal!
The people in the Government Affairs Department chose a roundabout way. They did not go directly to Langyuan City to avoid affecting the emotions of the officials in Langyuan City if they were found to be false. Instead, they chose to investigate the source of these secret letters. In the end, they actually investigated them.
arrive.
Only after confirming the origin of the events in the secret letters did the officials from the Department of Justice really pay attention. Because the deliverers of these secret letters were not the actual writers of the secret letters. The actual writers had died long ago, and the door was destroyed by a fire.
.These secret letters were written before the family was exterminated and handed over to the hands of close friends, saying that if something unexpected happened, they would be delivered to the government one by one.
The close friend did not break his promise, and he actually separated the secret letters and delivered them year after year, some even repeatedly. In order to fulfill his promise. This person even did not panic at all when he was found by the people from the Department of Justice.
Instead, he was quite emotional and said, "Finally you are here." Regardless of whether it was a "disaster" or not, this man seemed very calm.
But as the yamen in Nanyuan Kingdom that specializes in turning officials around, the Government Affairs Bureau still did not disappoint. At least one of the city officials in the county was not able to handle the people in the Government Affairs Bureau.
Therefore, "Beijiang County Langyuan City Political Official Wu Yuan's Special Special Investigation for Corruption and Perversion of the Law" was subsequently included in the top-secret plan of the Government Affairs Department, and has been silently promoted.
Later, when Xiao Wangcheng was transferred to Beijiang County to serve as the county magistrate, people from the Government Affairs Department were behind the push. Before taking office, the director of the Government Affairs Department had a full day's talk with Xiao Wangcheng.
But the difficulty is that when you discover the problem and want to lift off the shiny fake skin, you find that there is no grip at all.
It's better than if you smell the stink and know that there must be shit in that stuffy jar, but you have to have a hand to open the stuffy jar. Even if the words of those secret letters are conclusive, all the things mentioned above
All the witnesses are dead, some are missing, and the only thing left is an unclear mystery that seems to prove that the things in the secret letter are not groundless.
Or just transfer Wu Yuan away and expose Langyuan City that he had covered up?
No way. In that case, Wu Yuan will definitely realize the danger, and all the remaining clues will be cleaned up. Things will not get better, it will only make all the clues in his hand completely rotten.
This is also the reason why Xiao Wangcheng has been in Beijiang County for more than two years but still has not touched a single plant or tree in Langyuan City. Xiao Wangcheng is waiting for the best opportunity.
yawenbat
Wu Yuan suddenly complained of illness and wanted to return to his hometown. There was no news about this matter before. But Xiao Wangcheng was keenly aware of a once-in-a-lifetime loophole. He directly rejected Wu Yuan's leave note and immediately asked Yang Jie to make a statement
, go to Langyuan City to take charge, and start trying to get into the stuffy jar of Langyuan City. As long as you find a little bit of a breakthrough, then the rest of the matter will be easy to handle.
But who would have thought that when Yang Jie was about to arrive at Langyuan City, he would receive news of Wu Yuan's sudden death.
The plan was disrupted. But at the same time, it also meant that the lid of the stuffy jar was gone. It was not so easy to hide the dirty things inside. So Yang Jie directly showed the carriage and asked all the officials below Langyuan City to ignore it.
Everyone, big and small, is in danger, so chaos breaks out first.
And compared to what kind of drama will the people below perform for Yang Jie in the end, a farce or a comedy? Yang Jie still has a trump card in his hand, that is, he insists on not leaving at this time, and he is trying to hide it.
The mansion that lives in Wu Yuan, and the people in this mansion.
Yang Jie believes that as long as his people investigate every corner of the Wu Mansion, the harvest here will definitely be enough to cause a bloody storm in Langyuan City. Those who are hidden under Wu Yuan's wings
The evil-doing bugs will also die without a burial place!
Unfortunately, the main criminal Wu Yuan died, as did Wu Qingling, Wu Yuan's only son who was mentioned many times in the secret letter. In Yang Jie's opinion, the two died too easily, and only Ling Chi could match the evil of the father and son.
OK.
But... Yang Jie thought about this and couldn't help but cast his eyes again on the crumpled suicide note on the table. This may be the second thing that surprised Yang Jie besides Wu Yuan's sudden death.
.
"Zhang Yan..." Yang Jie was not like what he told Zhou Cang before. On the contrary, he had heard of Zhang Yan more than a year ago. He heard that at that time
County Governor Xiao Wangcheng, who had only been in Beijiang County for less than a year, mentioned it.
Yang Jie has a very good memory. He clearly remembers that Mr. Xiao got a letter from his friend General Song Qinghe and mentioned Zhang Yan's name in his mind. It seemed that General Song wanted Mr. Xiao to do a favor and protect Zhang Yan, and
Wu Yuan, the city administrator of Langyuan City, was also mentioned. Yang Jie didn't know much about the inside story. He only remembered these, and what Mr. Xiao said at the time, "It's not the time yet."
Now when I saw this name again, it actually appeared in Wu Yuan's suicide note, and I could see that Wu Yuan was filled with fear when he wrote this name...
