Chapter 467: Is Shen An Crazy?

Twelve people were all in the duty room. Li Yun was kneeling and the other eleven people were standing. The atmosphere was solemn.

"More than sixty!"

Cheng Xu said painfully: "The lower official is guilty. The lower official failed to supervise me well. He is guilty!"

His sharp eyebrows and starry eyes looked righteous, and his painful self-blame at this moment was even more touching.

Shen An asked with a smile: "In the past, those people checked you when they came here, right?"

Cheng Xu nodded and said, "Yes. I have been investigated twice."

"This is integrity."

Shen An nodded slightly and said, "You didn't find anything in your home, which shows your caution."

"I never raised my hand when I was a lower-ranking official. I always kept in mind the principle of being an honest official and worked conscientiously..."

Cheng Xu frowned slightly, but in the end he smiled with relief and said, "I'm afraid that Taizhao may have some misunderstandings about the official. If you have time, you can ask him about his personality."

Shen An smiled and asked, "In the past, Li Yun's misappropriation of more than two thousand dollars had been discovered long ago, right?"

Cheng Xu nodded and said: "Yes, I discovered it twice before. The official was also negligent for a moment and forgot about it and forgot to urge him to return it."

"It's not that you forgot about it, but you deliberately kept it as bait to make the officials who came to investigate think they had found something wrong, and they just used it to hand over..."

Shen An sighed: "You are a talent, really."

He glanced at Zhao Zhongzhen and said: "It is common to misappropriate public money and food. When the officials who come to investigate see it, they will ignore it as long as the amount is not large. Why? Because they dare not uncover this black hole. Once it is uncovered... Zhongzhen, do you know what will happen?"

Zhao Zhongzhen was already stunned by Shen An's words. Hearing the words, he subconsciously said: "Everyone in the officialdom is in danger, and then the public will become passionate. The person who exposes this matter will become everyone's enemy. Even the emperor can only respond vaguely." …”

This is a Qian rule, a Qian rule that even the emperor cannot break.

Zhao Zhongzhen looked at Cheng Xu and sighed: "This person is really smart. He used this matter to make people fear him, and then he naturally got rid of it hastily."

He glanced at Shen An and thought, are you trying to cause trouble?

That is the first rule for officials in the world!

Brother, let’s go back!

He knew Shen An too well, and after seeing the light in his eyes, he felt that something big was going to happen.

Official, you shouldn't let him investigate this matter, now you are at ease...

Unlike Zhao Zhongzhen who was feeling panic, Shen An just felt comfortable all over at this moment.

"When those people came to investigate this matter, they first wanted to check the accounts. They saw that there were two embezzlements involved, so they took the matter to hand. When the higher-ups found out, they ignored it and no one took care of it..."

Shen An sighed: "Because as long as we investigate further, more misappropriations will inevitably be found. By then, everyone will be in danger, and the officials investigating the case will probably regret it. We are all smart people, so naturally we will stop there. . But there are people here who are constantly reporting..."

who is it?

Everyone looked at each other.

What is there to report about this kind of thing?

Shen An's eyes turned and stopped at Huang Du, who looked like a corrupt official, and said, "Huang Du, come out."

In the eyes of everyone who couldn't believe it, Huang Du walked out with a bitter look on his face and saluted.

Shen An praised: "In the entire horse-stripping business, Huang Du didn't get even a penny in benefit. It can be called a model of incorruptibility."

He didn't say it, but everyone knew it.

Those complicated eyes were fixed on Huang Du, and there was even resentment.

It's you who keeps reporting?

You beast, why do you want to trick us?

Huang Du didn't expect that he would be dragged out by Shen An to show off to the public. He knew that he would be doomed from now on. He handed over his hands and said: "This matter was reported by the official. A lot of meat comes in here every day, and the amount handed in is correct, but occasionally you can hear people complaining, saying that the meat is smelly, or there is less. The official felt something was wrong, so it was fine if only one person said it, but there were many people saying this, so the official paid more attention and followed the cart out, only to find that they had replaced the good meat with worthless smelly meat outside... …”

Shen An couldn't help but sigh: "I'm not greedy enough!"

Huang Du said numbly: "I know it will be difficult for me to be an official again in the future. Please go home and farm."

Reporting on his colleagues was a violation of Qian's rules. Huang Du felt that he would never be able to stand out in the future, and he would be stared at and stabbed in the back at every turn.

This is the officialdom ecology.

"Scared?"

Huang Du nodded.

Shen An smiled and said calmly: "Don't worry, first of all, you will be ignored soon, and secondly... whoever dares to touch you in the future will do so to the official family. You will be promoted."

Huang Du looked up in disbelief. Shen An stood up and walked to Cheng Xu and said, "Do you want to go to the Imperial City Department and confess, or do you want to confess now?"

Cheng Xuqiang said calmly: "This official is not corrupt and has a clear conscience."

"Have the guts!"

Shen An praised: "The person who admires the most talented people, so be it."

"Waiting for the imperial edict, I once saw those who pulled pork giving money to Cheng Xu."

Huang Du was willing to risk everything just for Shen An's vague guarantee.

Shen An smiled at him and said, "Don't worry about this, Zhang Ba will teach him how to behave."

After he came out of here, Zhao Zhongzhen whispered: "Zhang Baibian will not take action for such a trivial matter."

Shen An said calmly: "Someone will let him take action."

Zhao Zhongzhen felt a little flustered, so he chased after him and persuaded him: "Brother Anbei, we need to consider this matter in the long run."

Shen An nodded, mounted his horse and left.

What’s the long-term plan?

This is an opportunity, what if you miss it?

Wang Anshi's Book of Ten Thousand Words has disappeared for unknown reasons.

Without this book of ten thousand words, Zhao Zhongzhen would not have chosen him as his reforming blade in the future.

The reform of the Song Dynasty is inevitable. Since Lao Wang's Book of Ten Thousand Words has not been published, let me, Shen An, fire the first shot!

The corruption and overstaffing of external horse services are really a drop in the ocean. Cheng Xu's biggest reliance is that the officials investigating the case dare not reveal this hidden rule.

Yes, most officials will follow this rule and remain silent and tight-lipped.

This is the limitation of the times.

But he didn't know that Shen An came from a later generation and didn't follow the rules at all.

So his biggest reliance was ignored by Shen An.

Shen An went straight to the imperial city. While waiting for the report, he pondered the reactions of Zhao Zhen and others.

Later, he followed people into the palace. When he saw Zhao Zhen, the emperor had just finished a snack and was drinking tea to digest.

Seeing him come in, Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "Don't be in a hurry with the matters at Wai Pei Ma Wu, just take your time."

He thought Shen An was here to complain, so he was very relaxed.

Shen An glanced at Chen Zhongheng and said, "In the official family, the official responsible for stripping horses has been found out."

Zhao Zhen was drinking tea and was startled when he heard this. He slowly put down the teacup and looked at Shen An carefully.

This is only the second day, and Shen An was dozing off on the first day and not doing his job properly.

The next day is only half over, and you’ve found out now?

Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "How much corruption is involved?"

He didn't ask about unnecessary things, but about corruption. This attitude is worth pondering.

Shen An didn't care about this, "In the official family, the horse-stealing servicemen stole more than sixty guan in one section. The supervisor Cheng Xu resisted, but I estimate that it is at least two to three hundred guan..."

Not much!

Corruption cannot be banned, and Zhao Zhen is very clear about this.

Hundreds of dollars of corruption...

"This matter will be discussed tomorrow."

Zhao Zhen said happily: "You are very fast here. I am thinking about asking you to investigate the prison and cooperate with Wang Qing. I think we can find out many cases."

Lao Wang is reviewing cases from various places. This work is very trivial, but he does it with great enthusiasm.

But Shen An felt that he was not the material to solve the case, so he expressed his humility.

Then Shen An resigned.

Everyone learned about Shen An's roar about stripping horses today, and they waited for his next move while being amused. But until he came out of the palace, Cheng Xu was still fine.

That bluffing fool!

After Cheng Xu went to the Yamen, he invited his subordinates who were out to work as horsemen to have a drink. It is said that when he was drunk, he shouted, "Shen An is a piece of shit." ’.

This word spread to all concerned people in an instant. A lot more drinks were sold in Bianliang tonight, and there were a lot more customers in the brothel.

The dignitaries were laughing, mocking Shen An's fierce appearance and inner lust.

If you find a problem but don't dare to go into it, what's the difference between you and us?

What's the beep?

Isn’t that true of you too?

The eldest brother is not to mention the second brother, both of them are pretty much the same...

But what are you pretending to be?

Ha ha ha ha!

The dignitaries drank wine and watched the singers singing and dancing, feeling that the world was back to normal again.

Han Qi watched the night at home and tasted wine. He sighed for the last time and lamented that he was no longer afraid of the cold and went to bed in a happy mood.

Zhao Zhongzhen didn't know whether to be disappointed or happy, he was still sitting in his room in a daze.

This time Zhao Zongshi didn't enlighten him, he just frowned slightly outside.

Huahua's cry came from the Shen family next door, but it was a helpless wail.

This is Shen An's sister torturing this big dog again.

…

The next day, when Shen An appeared outside the imperial city, those people couldn't help but point and whisper.

There was more teasing and kindness in those eyes.

It turns out you are one of us!

Then join in and enjoy this era together.

Shen An also smiled, and then squatted beside him to eat pancakes.

The cake is cut in the middle with a knife, and then stuffed with the braised lamb that Guo Guo has longed for, and his mouth is full of oil when he bites into it.

Shen An ate with big mouthfuls, making the people around him salivate.

Later, the palace door opened wide and everyone filed in.

Shen An rubbed his belly and appeared at his old position with great satisfaction.

Han Qi glanced at him with contempt in his eyes.

But it’s just a showpiece!

Then the discussion began.

Shen An is still in a daze, but Xiao Qing has turned into a puppet. Now he can hardly hear any movement, so he just stands there as a decoration.

The discussion will end later, UU reading www.uukanshu.net Zhao Zhen smiled and let everyone disperse.

Shen An, who had been silent all this time, made everyone a little surprised when he came out.

He bowed and saluted, and then said: "Your Majesty, this time I went out to investigate the case of horse stripping and discovered that someone was corrupt."

Is this asking for credit for myself?

Young people! Always so eager.

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

This is a compliment.

Shen An still said with a straight face, "I found some problems during this investigation..."

He raised his head and glanced at everyone, and his eyes gradually became brighter.

"I discovered that misappropriation of public funds has become a common practice. As far as I know..."

This guy is going crazy!

Han Qi just hoped that Shen An would make the matter bigger, but never thought that Shen An would come to reveal this hidden rule.

So he had to come forward: "A lot of the misappropriations were used for official purposes."

This is true, Shen An also admitted, but he changed the topic and said: "But I know that many misappropriations are never recovered, and eventually become corruption...open corruption, corruption that goes without trace. Rotten.”

Boom!

The sound of the wat board falling to the ground was clear, and Zeng Gongliang took the opportunity to bend down to hide his shock.

Is Shen An crazy?

…

The third update is here, good night.
