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

"More than sixty!"

Cheng Xu said bitterly: "The lower officials are guilty, the lower officials are not well supervised, they are guilty!" ”

He looked at him with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, looking upright, and the painful self-blame at the moment was even more moving.

Shen An asked with a smile, "In the past, those people checked you as soon as they came, right?" ”

Cheng Xu nodded and said, "Yes." Xia Guan was checked twice. ”

"That's incorruptibility."

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

"The lower officials have never stretched out their hands, and they have always kept in mind the truth of being honest and honest for officials, and they have been conscientious and ......"

Cheng Xu frowned slightly, but finally smiled with relief: "I'm afraid that the edict is a misunderstanding of the lower officials, if you have time, you can ask the lower officials who they are." ”

Shen An smiled and asked, "In the past, Li Yun's embezzlement of more than two dollars had already been discovered, right?" ”

Cheng Xu nodded and said: "Yes, I found out the first two times, and the lower officials were also negligent for a while, so they forgot about it and forgot to urge him to return it." ”

"It's not that you forgot, but you deliberately kept it as bait, so that those officials who came to check thought that they had found something wrong, and they just happened to use it to make a ......"

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

He glanced at Zhao Zhongjun and said: "Embezzlement of public money and grain is a common thing, and those officials who come to check will not take care of it as long as the amount is not large." Why? Because they don't dare to uncover this black hole, once it is uncovered...... Do you know what's going to happen? ”

Zhao Zhongjun was already stunned by Shen An's words, and subconsciously said when he heard the words: "Everyone in the officialdom is in danger, and then there is the excitement of the crowd, and the person who exposes this matter will become everyone's enemy, even if it is the emperor, he can only deal with it vaguely......"

This is the Qian rule, the Qian rule that even the emperor can't break.

Zhao Zhongjun looked at Cheng Xu and sighed: "This person is really smart, and he used this matter to make people afraid, and then he naturally did it hastily." ”

He glanced at Shen An and thought to himself, don't you want to make trouble, right?

That's the rule of the world's officials!

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 have let him investigate this matter, now it's comfortable......

Unlike Zhao Zhongyun's panic, Shen An only felt comfortable at this moment.

"Those people came to check this matter, the first thing was to check the accounts, and when they saw that there were more than two misappropriations, they took this matter to hand it over, and the above knew that it was also hasty, and no one cared about it......"

Shen An sighed: "Because as long as you investigate down, more misappropriation will inevitably be found, and when the time comes, everyone will be in danger, and the officials who investigate the case are afraid that they will even regret their intestines." Everyone is a smart person, so it's natural to stop there. It's just that there are people here who keep reporting it......"

Who is it?

Everyone looked at each other.

What is there to report such a thing?

Shen An's eyes turned, 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 face and saluted.

Shen An praised: "In the entire external stripping of horses, Huang Du did not take a penny of benefits, which can be called a model of integrity." ”

He didn't say it, but everyone knew.

Those complicated eyes stared at Huang Du, and there was even resentment.

It's actually you who keep reporting?

You brute, why do you want to trap us?

Huang Du didn't expect that he would be pulled out by Shen An to show the public, he knew that he would be finished in the future. He arched his hand and said: "This matter was reported by the lower officials." There is a lot of meat here every day, and the amount handed in is right, but occasionally I can hear people complaining, saying that the meat is smelly, or less, and the lower officials feel that something is wrong, if only one person says it, it will be enough, but there are many people who say this, and the lower officials pay attention to it, and follow the cart out, only to find that they have replaced the good meat with worthless stinky meat outside......"

Shen An couldn't help but sigh: "Greed is not enough! ”

Huang Du Muran said: "The lower officials know that they will be embarrassed to be officials in the future, so I implore you to go home and farm." ”

Reporting colleagues is a violation of Qian's rules, Huang Du feels that he will never have a future in the future, and he will be stared at, and he will be stabbed in the back at every turn.

This is the ecology of officialdom.

"Scared?"

Huang Du nodded.

Shen An smiled and said lightly: "Don't worry, first of all, you will be ignored immediately, and secondly, ...... Whoever dares to move you in the future will be an official, and you will be promoted. ”

Huang Du looked up in disbelief, Shen An got up and walked in front of Cheng Xu, and said, "Do you want to enter the Imperial City Division and then confess, or do you want to confess now?" ”

Cheng Xu said calmly: "The lower officials are not corrupt, and they have a clear conscience. ”

"There's a kind!"

Shen An praised: "A certain person who admires a kind of person the most, so be it." ”

"Waiting for the edict, the lower officials have seen those people who pull meat give Cheng Xu money."

Huang Du was out of the way, just for Shen An's illusory guarantee.

Shen An smiled at him and said, "Don't worry about this, Zhang Banian will teach him to be a man." ”

When he came out of here, Zhao Zhongyan said in a low voice: "Zhang Banian will not make a move for such a trivial matter. ”

Shen An said lightly: "I will let him make a move." ”

Zhao Zhongjun felt a little flustered, he chased after him and persuaded: "Brother Anbei, this matter must be discussed in the long run." ”

Shen An nodded, got on his horse and left.

What's in the long run?

This is an opportunity, what if you miss it?

Wang Anshi's book of 10,000 words disappeared for unknown reasons.

Without this book of 10,000 words, the future Zhao Zhongjun would not choose him to be his own reform blade.

And the reform of the Great Song Dynasty is inevitable, since Lao Wang's book of ten thousand words has not come out, then let me Shen An fire the first shot!

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

Yes, the vast majority of officials will follow this Qian rule and remain silent and tight-lipped.

This is the limitation of the times.

But he didn't know that Shen An came from the next generation, so he wouldn't follow the rules at all.

So his biggest reliance was ignored by Shen An.

Shen An went straight to the Imperial City, and while waiting for the announcement, he pondered the reaction of Zhao Zhen and the others.

Later, he followed people into the palace, and when he saw Zhao Zhen, the emperor had just finished eating a snack and was drinking tea to eliminate food.

Seeing him come in, Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry about the matter over there, take your time." ”

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

Shen An glanced at Chen Zhongheng and said, "The official family, the matter of stripping horses has been found out. ”

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

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

It's only halfway through the next day, so you're going to find out?

Zhao Zhen smiled: "How much is it corrupt?" ”

He didn't ask about superficiality, but only about corruption, and this attitude is worth pondering.

Shen An didn't care about this, "The official family, the external horse affairs are greedy for more than sixty times, and the supervisor Cheng Xu resists stubbornly, but the minister estimates that it is at least two or three hundred times......"

Not much!

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

Hundreds of corrupt ......

"This matter will be discussed tomorrow."

Zhao Zhen said with relief: "You are fast here, let me think about whether to let you go to investigate the prison, and cooperate with Wang Qing, I think I can find out a lot of cases." ”

Lao Wang is reviewing cases in various places, this work is very trivial, but he is very enthusiastic about it.

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

Then Shen An retired.

Everyone learned about Shen An's roar of stripping horses outside today, and they were waiting for his follow-up tricks while laughing, but until he came out of the palace, Cheng Xu was still fine.

That bluffing idiot!

After Cheng Xu got off the office, he invited his subordinates to drink, and it is said that when he was drunk, he shouted, "Shen An is an eggless person." ’。

These words spread all over the place in an instant, and tonight's Bianliang sold a lot of wine, and the Qinglou also had a lot of customers.

The magnates were laughing, laughing at Shen An's lust.

If you find out the problem but don't dare to dig into it, what is the difference between you and us?

What's beep?

Aren't you the same?

The eldest brother doesn't talk about the second brother, both of them are about the same......

But what are you pretending?

Hahahaha!

The magnates drank and watched the singers sing and dance, and only felt that the world had returned to normal.

Han Qi watched the night wine tasting at home, and finally sighed, feeling that he was not afraid of the cold now, and went to sleep happily.

Zhao Zhongjun didn't know whether to be disappointed or happy, and still sat in his room in a daze.

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

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

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

……

The next day, when Shen An appeared outside the imperial city, those people couldn't help but point their fingers or exchange heads.

There was more ridicule in those eyes, and there was more kindness.

So you're one of us!

Let's blend in and enjoy this era together.

Shen An also smiled, and then squatted on the side to eat the cooking cake.

The pancakes are cut with a knife in the middle, then stuffed into the braised mutton that Guoguo has in mind, and the mouth is full of oil when you bite into it.

Shen An ate heavily, and the people around him drooled.

Later, the palace door was opened, and everyone entered.

Shen An rubbed his stomach and appeared in the old position very satisfied.

Han Qi glanced at him, and there was more contempt in his eyes.

But it's just a showcase!

The proceedings then began.

Shen An was still in a daze, and Xiao Qing had turned into a puppet, and now he basically couldn't hear movement, so he just stood there as an ornament.

At the end of the discussion later, Zhao Zhen smiled and let everyone disperse.

Shen An, who had been silent, made everyone a little strange.

He bowed and saluted, and then said: "Your Majesty, the minister is investigating the case of stripping horses outside this time, and it is found that someone is corrupt. ”

Is this to give credit to yourself?

O young man! Always so eager.

Zhao Zhen smiled: "It's hard work." ”

That's a compliment.

Shen An still said with a straight face; "The minister found some problems in this investigation......"

He glanced up at the crowd, and there was a brighter light in his eyes.

"The minister found that embezzlement has become a common practice, as far as the minister knows......"

This thing is going crazy!

Han Qi just hoped that Shen An would make things bigger, but he never thought that Shen An would come to uncover this Qian rule.

So he had to come forward: "A lot of the appropriation was used for official purposes. ”

This is there, Shen An also admitted it, but he changed his words and said: "Kechen knows that a lot of misappropriation is gone, and it eventually becomes corruption...... Open corruption, untraced corruption. ”

Bang!

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

Is Shen An crazy?

……

The third is sent, good night.
